Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards had diametrically opposed responses after their 18-year-old daughter, Sami Sheen, announced she was starting an OnlyFans page.
Charlie spoke out against his daughter joining the amateur adult entertainment content subscription site.
The Two and a Half Men star wrote in a statement to Yahoo Entertainment via his publicist Jeff Ballard:
"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."
Sheen then suggested Richards was responsible for the decision.

He said of his daughter, Sami:
"She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof."
Twitter was quick to point out Sheen hasn't exactly had a polished reputation in Hollywood to express disapproval.
\u201c@nypost Yep. He's been an amazing role model.\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1655271069
\u201c@nypost Really Charlie ?? You haven\u2019t lived like a Monk you know\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1655271069
\u201c@nypost Ah yes... The womanizer is now worried about his daughter \ud83d\ude02\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1655271069
Richards–who appeared in the reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills–responded to her ex-husband's statement by arguing their daughter was old enough to make decisions on her own.
"Sami is 18, and this decision wasn't based on whose house she lives in," said Richards.
"All I can do as a parent is guide her and trust her judgement, but she makes her own choices."
On Monday, the Hollywood scion teased followers about her new venture with a bikini-clad photo of herself in a pool.
"Click the link in my bio if u wanna see more," she wrote.
Twitter weighed in with their thoughts over Sami's decision.
\u201c@nypost Every young woman on \u201cOnlyFans\u201d is somebody\u2019s daughter. It\u2019s gotta change your perspective when it\u2019s your own daughter selling her image.\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1655271069
\u201c@nypost If she\u2019s on consenting age, she can do whatever she wants. She doesn\u2019t need either ones approval.\u201d— New York Post (@New York Post) 1655271069
\u201c@realDailyWire Omg thats terrible, what her user name so I can tell her my thoughts as well.. \ud83d\ude0f\u201d— Daily Wire (@Daily Wire) 1655240226
Richards and her eldest daughter recently reconnected in time for Mother's Day after months of estrangement.
They've both come a long way after Sami complained in a TikTok video about living with Richards in her home last year.
Sami alleged in the video the home was a "hell house" that was "abusive" and made her "insanely depressed."
A source at the time told PEOPLE:
"Denise set normal rules that any parent would be setting. She's a mom and a parent and there are rules. She didn't want to follow the rules."
"Charlie didn't support implementing Denise's rules. He has a different way of parenting and Sami decided to live with her dad."
"Denise loves her daughter very much and she's saddened by the situation."
Speaking with Jeff Lewis on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live, Richards said of Sami, who by then was living with Sheen:
"Honestly, I have a strained relationship with her. It's very difficult. I know we'll get back to where we were eventually but right now, it is strained."
She added:
"But I think it's very difficult raising teenagers now and especially in Los Angeles when there's access to everything."
"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 Sheen's], there's different rules at that house and that's OK."
Richards and Sheen have two daughters together, Sam J. Sheen and Lola Rose Sheen.
In 2005, Richards filed for divorce from Sheen while she was pregnant with Lola Rose.
Richards sought a restraining order against him. When their divorce was finalized in 2006, he was ordered to stay 300 feet away from her and their two daughters, except during supervised visits.
They eventually came to good terms with each other in 2012, spent time together with their daughters and even made appearances on each other's respective TV shows.
