Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards are locked in a public war of words, following the announcement that their 18-year-old daughter has joined OnlyFans.
Sam "Sami" Sheen took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo of herself in a black bikini while posing in a swimming pool. In the accompanying caption, Sam Sheen advised those wanting to see more to "click the link in my bio."
The link leads to her new account on OnlyFans, a subscription platform popular with adult entertainers and those wishing to monetize nude and scantily-clad images.
According to Sam Sheen's bio on the platform, the account will provide "exclusive content," with new content added, "2-3 times a week."
The teen tells incoming subscribers her "messages are open so come talk to me!!"
Richards responded to the Instagram post by writing in the comments section: "Sami I will always support you & always have your back. I love you."
"i love you thank you," Sam Sheen wrote back to the former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star.
However, the new venture has been met with disapproval from her father, Charlie Sheen, who released a statement through his publicist.
"She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof," read the statement, which was shared with Entertainment Tonight. "I do not condone this but since I'm unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity."
Responding to her ex-husband, Richards reiterated her support for her daughter as she released a statement of her own to the outlet.
"Sami is 18, and this decision wasn't based on whose house she lives in," the Wild Things star said. "All I can do as a parent is guide her and trust her judgment, but she makes her own choices."
Richards, 51 and Charlie Sheen, 56, were married from 2002-2006, they have another daughter, 17-year-old Lola. Richards also has an 11-year-old daughter Eloise.
The screen star's public show of support for her eldest daughter indicates that the two's relationship has improved after Richards admitted in February that things were "strained" between her and Sam Sheen.
"It's very difficult," Richards said during an appearance on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live, per People. "I know we'll get back to where we were eventually but right now, it is strained."
Addressing Sam Sheen living with her father at the time, Richards went on: "Obviously I would love for her to live with me. She lived with me all these years."
"But I think it's very difficult raising teenagers now and especially in Los Angeles when there's access to everything," she continued. "We didn't grow up with Postmates and Uber, where you have everything that you want.
"There are certain rules and I enforce them. And [at Charlie Sheen's], there's different rules at that house and that's OK."
Richards, who has been married to light and sound therapist Aaron Phypers since 2018, said at the time that her eldest daughter was "not in school", admitting that she does not "agree with certain things" her ex-husband does.
"But that's OK. We can agree to disagree," Richards said during her interview.
