Denise Richards takes her inspiration from her daughter Sami Sheen.
On Thursday, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Alum revealed on her Instagram story that she has started an OnlyFans account. She shared the news along with a flirty photo of herself and wrote, “Link in bio baby.”
The subscription-based service has earned a reputation for its NSFW content, with Larsa Pippen, Cardi B, Aaron Carter and Tyler Posey among the stars who use the platform.
Richards’ fully published page is stamped with a verification stamp and notes that access to her uploads costs $25 a month, or $67 for a three-month package.
The actress has already shared her first post. The preview has the caption: “Best view in Malibuđź’‹”

Richards’ OnlyFans launch comes after her 18-year-old daughter launched her own page on the site earlier this month. Sami’s page has since been publicly disapproved of by her father, Charlie Sheen.
“I do not approve of this,” said the Two and a half men Alum, who was married to Richards from 2002 to 2006, told E! News: “But since I can’t stop it, I urged her to approach it with style and creativity and not to sacrifice her integrity.”
He added: “She is now 18 years old and lives with her mother. This did not happen under my roof.”

But Richards, who also has 17-year-old daughter Lola with Sheen and is mother to 11-year-old daughter Eloise, told PEOPLE that Sami’s decision “was not based on whose house she lives in.”
“As a mother, I can only guide her and trust her judgment,” she continued. “But she makes her own decisions.”

Richards also supported Sami with a lengthy statement on Instagram, saying she wished she had her daughter’s “confidence.”
“There have been a lot of negative comments on my social media over the last week. I have to say, I wish I had the confidence of my 18-year-old daughter,” she wrote. “And I can’t judge her choices either. I have Wild Things and playboyFrankly, her father shouldn’t be either.”
“And to be able to ignore the negativity at her age? It took me many years to do that and I still struggle with it sometimes,” she added. “I admire her ability to block out the noise. Because it can destroy you.”
At the time, Richards hinted that she was considering joining OnlyFans.
“Is it so bad to control it and make money off it? I’m sorry, but s— if I get paid for it and at my age? To see me in a bikini?!? God bless you,” she added. “Maybe I should open my own account…”
