Denise Richards' daughters have spoken out about how they really feel about their mom having an OnlyFans page.
The James Bond girl and mom-of-three signed up to the NSFW online platform in 2022, not long after her eldest daughter, whom she shares with Charlie Sheen, Sami Sheen, joined.
The 20-year-old has gone on to achieve the millionaire status that her famous mom and dad achieved decades ago thanks to the platform, reportedly making more than $3 million since she joined the site at the age of 18.

Following in her footsteps, Richards, who lives in California, confessed she didn't know much about OnlyFans prior to joining it, other than her teenage daughter was facing 'backlash' for joining it.
Now, the pair and Richards' two other daughters, Lola Sheen and Eloise Richards, sat down with PEOPLE for a cosy chat talking about everything from co-parenting with Charlie Sheen, religion and how each other feel about being on the lewd site.
When asked about how she feels about her mom being on OnlyFans, Sami said: "I think it's great."
However, the youngster admitted she wished her mom had 'waited a little bit' as she joined 'right after I did.'
"But yeah, it doesn't bother me at all," Sami continued. "Lola might say something, though."
Richards' middle daughter was comparatively tight-lipped about the situation and appeared to suggest she was happy with whatever her mom was doing before Richards cut in.
The reality TV star and author said she turned to the largely pay-per-view pornographic site after coming at a crossroads in her career.
The 54-year-old said: "I don't know what more I could do.
"In my career, I've done so many different things you know," she continued as she reeled off her movie roles from sci-fi Starship Troopers to the erotic thriller, Wild Things.
After her appearance in the 1998 movie, she said she was perceived as a 'sex symbol' as it rocketed her career into modelling, including Playboy, and becoming a Bond girl.
While Richards has been on the harsh end of some scrutiny herself for such provocative roles, she said she didn't want that for her daughter when Sami was just 18.
The mom continued: "When I saw that Sami was getting so much backlash, it really upset me, as a mom and also as a woman in this business."
However, far from upset by her daughter's decision to sign up to the site, Richards said it actually inspired her.
"It bothered me that she was getting backlash for owning her sexuality and being a woman and doing what she wanted to do and that's why I joined", she said.
Although Richards confessed she was 'uneducated' and didn't really know what OnlyFans fully entailed when she joined, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum is still supportive of her daughter's endeavours on the site - even going on to collaborate together.
There are some boundaries in place though, as the pair do not go on each other's pages.
Meanwhile, Lola spoke about how she has 'found Jesus', describing Christ as her 'best friend' who 'saved' her during a period of anxiety.
As for their father, Charlie Sheen said he didn't condone Sami's decision to join the platform.
He said to Page Six at the time: "She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof.
“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.”
