Denise Richards Credits OnlyFans for Career Boost

Denise Richards is riding a new wave of success thanks to OnlyFans! In a recent episode of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, the actress opened up about how joining the platform has positively impacted her career. Richards joined OnlyFans in 2022, shortly after her daughter Sami Sheen made her debut on the site. She quickly discovered the platform’s potential, sharing, “I will say that I'm in the top 1% of creators on OnlyFans, so I am very grateful. It's very empowering, especially for someone my age, that people still want to see me that way.”

Richards was initially concerned about losing acting roles due to her OnlyFans presence but found the opposite to be true. “When I joined OnlyFans, I was very concerned that I possibly could lose some jobs, but it was the opposite,” she revealed. “I got more offers. I get roles where I'm like, the trophy wife or the sexy one.”

“It's amazing to see how my work on OnlyFans has opened more doors in the acting world,” Richards shared. “It's not just about the photos – it's about connecting with fans and showing them a different side of me.”

Aaron Phypers: The Man Behind the Lens

Denise's husband, Aaron Phypers, plays a significant role in her OnlyFans journey, often stepping behind the camera to help capture her best angles. During the episode, Richards praised Aaron's involvement, saying, “He's so supportive. He knows what men love, and he'll go through all the photos and say, ‘This is good. Do this. This is what guys like.’”

This collaboration seems to be a winning formula, allowing Richards to maintain a strong connection with her audience while keeping her content fresh and engaging. Contrary to some misconceptions, Denise views the platform as a way to connect with fans, not just a space for provocative photos. “People think that I'm just doing whatever – that's not true,” she explained. “I actually look at it as a way of communicating with fans, and not the way that you're thinking.”

Sami Sheen: Navigating Her Own Path

While Denise has found new opportunities through OnlyFans, her daughter Sami Sheen faces a different reality. Sami, who also appeared in the episode, expressed her frustration with agencies that hesitated to represent her due to her OnlyFans presence. “I really want to get headshots done to transition into modeling,” Sami said. “I've met with a couple agencies, and they don't like that I do OnlyFans. It's so frustrating because it's like, that's how I pay my rent.”

Denise acknowledged this double standard, sympathizing with her daughter's struggle. “That's the shame of it,” she admitted. “Why judge based on them trying to make a living while they're trying to pursue their career?” Despite the challenges, Denise remains proud of Sami's independence and determination. “I really am so proud of Sami. I wish I had her f------ balls when I was her age.”
