Denise Richards has released a statement after receiving criticism for allowing her daughter to join OnlyFans.
Earlier this week, 18-year-old Sami Sheen - the daughter of Richards and actor Charlie Sheen - announced to her Instagram followers that she had launched an OnlyFans page.
Sharing a snap of herself posing in a black bikini, the teen wrote: "click the link in my bio if u wanna see more" - as users were directed to a link to her page.
Following the announcement, 56-year-old dad Charlie told E! that he is not best pleased about his daughter being on the subscription platform.
"I do not condone this," he said to the outlet in a statement, adding: "But since I'm unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative, and not sacrifice her integrity."
The Two and a Half Men star went on to imply that letting Sami join OnlyFans was a decision supported by the teen's mother and made independent of his judgment.
"She is 18 years old now and living with her mother," he said, adding: "This did not occur under my roof."
Now, the teen's mother has spoken out.
Releasing a written statement on Instagram, 51-year-old Richards wrote: "Lots of negative comments on my social this past week."
The former Bond girl continued: "I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18 yr old daughter has. And I also can't be judgmental of her choices. I did Wild Things and Playboy, quite frankly her father shouldn't be either."
"And to be able to ignore the negativity at her age? It took me many years and I still sometimes struggle," the mom added. "I'm in awe of her ability to be able to shut out the noise. Because it can destroy you."
The actor then pointed out that other social media platforms are used by people in the adult industry, before adding: "Is it so bad to control it and monetize it too? I'm sorry, but s*** if I can get paid and at my age? To see me in a bikini?!? God bless you. Perhaps I should open my own account."
Sami has not directly addressed her father's comments, but she did do a Q+A on her Instagram Story on Wednesday, in which she shared that she will be focusing on body positivity while posting on OnlyFans.
She responded to a question from a follower, who asked: "Do you really think you have the body for [OnlyFans] lol?"
Sami answered: "Yes because there's no 'body' you need to have in order to do [OnlyFans]. Only thing that matters is making sure you're comfortable with what your posting and remembering that all bodies are beautiful."
Another follower asked the teen if her mom and dad know about her OnlyFans account, and she responded: "Yes, and my mom is extremely supportive."
