One of the most explosive dramas in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 was between Denise Richards and Erika Jayne. In episode 9, which aired in December 2023, the XXPEN$IVE performer hit a “low blow” after asking the Wild Things actress about her OnlyFans “profitability” compared to her daughter Sami Sheen – whose father Charlie Sheen previously expressed concerns about her risqué career.
Despite being called out by a Hollywood director for filming a revealing scene, Denise joined OnlyFans, thinking: “Being a woman in this business, who has also done sexy roles, I thought, ‘I am going to do it too. I don’t care.'” She said it was “important as a woman to do and not make decisions on being judged on what other people may think or say.” Here’s everything she’s said about joining the platform in solidarity with her daughter.

Denise reportedly makes more than Sami on OnlyFans. At the age of 53, the reality star rakes in $2 million a month on the platform while her 20-year-old daughter makes an average of $80,000 per month. When asked what subscribers get to see on her page, the Starship Troopers alum said, “I do bikini, I do lingerie. I do stuff that is sexier, because I also think, why not?” She also shares “tush” pictures since “they’re already out there, if you Google.”
Denise joined OnlyFans in June 2022, just days after Sami started her own. At that time, the mother-of-three said: “The reason why I wanted to join was because she got so much backlash for that, that I didn’t think it was really fair.”
A year after her OnlyFans debut, Sami made headlines after calling herself a “sex worker”. She clarified on TikTok that she’s “not a [adult] star”, doesn’t “meet up with people”, and“I don’t film myself having sex. I don’t do that.” While she has “no judgment” towards those who do, she explained that “the only reason I said I’m a [sex] worker is because my main source of income is from my [OnlyFans]. And if people did their research, they would realize that there’s multiple forms of [sex] work.”
In December 2022, Denise said she doesn’t visit Sami’s OnlyFans page, so she can establish herself away from her parents’ fame. “I don’t go on my daughter’s page. From what I’ve been told, she keeps it very tasteful,” said the actress. If anything, she sees the venture as her daughter’s way of finding and expressing herself.
“Whether it is OnlyFans or any social media, I encourage my daughters to block out the noise and to not read a lot of stuff,” Denise said of raising her kids in the spotlight. “It’s hard for me as a grown woman, who’s been in this industry for as many years as I have, to block out negativity. At their age, it’s very hard.”
Denise Richards Couldn’t Believe Erika Jayne’s OnlyFans Dig At Her Daughter Sami Sheen
During a spat with Denise on the 9th episode of RHOBH season 13, Erika brought up the former’s OnlyFans, as well as her daughter’s. It started when the Good Advice star confronted the Crazy songstress about her “inappropriate” remarks on Sami’s supposed ignorance of “threesomes” when she was 14. Erika apologized before blurting out: “Okay your oldest daughter is on OnlyFans. She doesn’t know [what a threesome is]?”
The group was stunned. “You came in slurring, inarticulate, could not string two words together, and wanted to call me a b—h,” the singer added, referring to the Valentine actress’ tirades earlier in the season. “You want me to sit here and pretend like it didn’t happen?” she said, owning up to the “low blow”. “What do you think, I’m not going to go to OnlyFans? I’m not going to go as…low as I can? Have you met me?” Erika went on to ask Denise:
“I think it’s great! I just want to know, who’s more profitable? You or Sami.”
In March, Denise told Andy Cohen that she “didn’t understand” why Erika would say such things about her daughter, as well as Garcelle Beauvais’ children. “Some of the stuff [Erika has] said about my kids and Garcelle’s kids, I didn’t understand. But God forbid you talk about her son,” she said on Watch What Happens Live. “It’s just unbelievable to me that she wouldn’t even understand why I’d be upset.”
The Drop Dead Gorgeous actress noted that Erika’s “son is a grown man, and Sami was a minor [when Erika made the threesome joke].” In January, the Pretty Mess hitmaker told Andy that she “did not want to” bring the mother-daughter’s OnlyFans but Denise “pushed hard” at her.
“That’s really the truth, and that’s the answer: I did not want to do this,” Erika said of her OnlyFans dig at Denise and Sami. “I did not want to go there, and I really meant that. But if you want it, you can get it.”
Here’s a brief history of Erika and Denise’s feud on RHOBH:
Season 10
Where it started: Erika hated the “BS” that was Denise’s, husband Aaron Phypers joining in on the Housewives‘ feud, which started with Denise “implying” that the ladies were “inappropriate” around her and Garcelle’s kids (e.g. threesome talks)
Season 13
How it escalated: Denise called Erika a “bot monster” for previously yelling at Garcelle’s youngest son, Jax. Erika said she’d already “made up” with Garcelle, but Denise continued to “hit below the belt.”
Season 13
How it’s going: Denise called Erika a “mean woman” after she brought up OnlyFans and refused to apologize for her “threesome” comments on a 14-year-old Sami.

Charlie admitted he had a “knee-jerk reaction” when his daughter, Sami joined OnlyFans. “I had a knee-jerk reaction to it because of the reputation that preceded it. I was just like, ‘Oh, this can only go bad,’” he told Bustle in October 2023. “That flies in the face of my approach to things normally, but I think when your child is involved, it presents as just a whole different alternative set of circumstances.”
Now, the Two and a Half Men alum believes in his daughter’s “success” on the platform. “She’s doing this and it can only be a much more successful and pleasant experience with the support of myself, her mom, and others,” he said. “I have to have confidence and just know in my heart that all of her virtues and all the wonderfulness that makes her, her, come with her. I believe her to be incorruptible.“
Denise told Bethenny Frankel’s Just B podcast that Charlie changed his mind about Sami’s OnlyFans career “when she bought a Mercedes and moved into a house.”
In the same Bustle article, Sami said, “I’ve never felt more confident in my body. I think it’s because my subscribers, they’re the best.” However, she admitted that she wanted to get her breasts done like her mom. “I was 10 years old and like, ‘I can’t wait to have big boobs like my mom.'” she content creator recalled. “All my friends were getting boobs, and I was just like, ‘OK, when’s it my turn?’ I would always stuff my bra with socks and stuff.”
Denise advised her daughter not to get a boob job like she did at 19. “I was made fun of as a teenager [because my boobs] were mosquito bites. I got them done at the same age Sami is wanting to get them done,” said the actress who was planning to get her implants removed. “I’m trying to talk her out of it because, and the reason why I’m getting them out, is I didn’t know how toxic [they are] when I was 19. And it’s not an easy surgery. It’s painful!”
