In the most recent installment of her reality show, "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things," Denise Richards uncovered the pivotal role her husband, Aaron Phypers, plays in the behind-the-scenes operations of her OnlyFans page. The episode shed light on how her OnlyFans account, with Aaron's assistance, has breathed new life into her acting career.
"I must confess, I belong to the elite 1% of creators on OnlyFans, and I'm incredibly thankful for that," Denise shared, according to People. "It's incredibly empowering, particularly for someone of my age, to know that people still desire to see me in that light."
OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform, allows creators to share and monetize their content, some of which can be explicit in nature. Denise attributed her success on the platform to her husband's meticulous curation of her risqué content. "He's incredibly supportive. He understands what men adore, and he'll sift through all the photos, pointing out, 'This is great. Do this. This is what guys find appealing,'" she elaborated.
Initially, Denise harbored reservations about joining the adult content site. However, once she dived in, she discovered its "remarkable profitability." "When I embarked on my OnlyFans journey, I feared it might jeopardize some acting opportunities, but quite the contrary happened. I received more offers. Roles portraying me as either the glamorous trophy wife or the goddess of sensuality flooded in," she revealed.
Denise further dispelled any misconceptions surrounding OnlyFans, expressing her enjoyment in engaging with her fans in a unique manner. "People assume I'm just doing anything and everything – but that's far from the truth," she clarified. "I view it as a means of connecting with my fans in a different capacity, not in the way you might think."
On the flip side, Denise's daughter, Sami, who is also an OnlyFans model and shares a father with Charlie Sheen, expressed her frustration with Hollywood's "double standard," revealing that OnlyFans had negatively impacted her modeling career. "I yearn to get new headshots done to transition into modeling," the 21-year-old lamented during the episode. "I've met with a few agencies, but they don't approve of my OnlyFans activity. It's so irritating because it's how I pay my rent. If they'd take me seriously, I wouldn't have to do it anymore."
Echoing her daughter's sentiments, Denise applauded Sami for daring to enter such a bold industry. "That's the real shame," Denise sighed. "Why judge someone based on how they're trying to make a living while pursuing their career?" "I'm incredibly proud of Sami. If only I had her guts when I was her age," she added.
Sami responded with a laugh, "Well, look who my family is. You guys are crazy – in the best way possible!"
"Denise Richards & Her Wild Things" offers an intimate glimpse into Denise's life as a mother of three. She shares daughters Sami, 20, and Lola, 19, with Charlie Sheen, and adopted her youngest daughter, Eloise, 13, on her own after her divorce from him in 2011.
