After calling out daughter Sami's haters and ex Charlie Sheen for criticizing her decision to join OnlyFans at 18, Denise teased that "perhaps I should open my own account" last week.
Now, she's done just that.
On Thursday, Richards posted a video of her in a white dress headed into the ocean, captioning the pic, "Ready ... here we go #onlyfans Link in bio." Richards, 51, is offering up $25 a month subscriptions and, so far, has only one photo posted.

Denise Richards has come to the defense of her daughter, Sami Sheen, after her ex-husband Charlie Sheen -- as well as others on the internet -- criticized the 18-year-old's decision to create an OnlyFans page.
On Friday, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum shared a lengthy statement on Instagram in which she praised her daughter, specifically her "confidence" and "ability to be able to shut out" the negativity.
Denise also stressed that people shouldn't be "judgmental" including Sami's father, Charlie.
"Lots of negative comments on my social this past week," she began in her statement. "I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18 yr old daughter has. And I also can't be judgemental [sic] of her choices. I did Wild Things & Playboy, quite frankly her father shouldn't be either. And to be able to ignore the negativity at her age? It took me many years & I still sometimes struggle."
"I'm in awe of her ability to be able to shut out the noise. Because it can destroy you," she added.

Denise went on to share that she "recently" educated herself about OnlyFans, and suggested that posting bikini photos on the internet subscription service isn't so different from sharing the images on other social media platforms.
"The judgement [sic] because women & men of the adult film industry are on there. I imagine they're on Instagram & Twitter as well," she wrote. "Is there really a difference posting a picture of [y]ourself in a bikini on IG? We've all done it. Because you get paid on Only Fans? I'm pretty sure IG & Twitter & Facebook do quite well off of all of us. Is it so bad to control it & monetize it too?"
"I'm sorry, but s--- if I can get paid and at my age? to see me in a bikini?!? God bless you," she continued, adding, "Perhaps I should open my own account .."
Denise concluded, "Oh & those of you that are judgemental [sic]. ... sounds like you might already subscribe to an @onlyfans account. Have a great weekend."

Sami Sheen, the 18-year-old daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, launched her OnlyFans page on Monday -- and her dad is not amused.
Earlier today, the teenager promoted her page on the subscription-only site on her Instagram feed, posting a bikini photo with the caption "click the link in my bio if u wanna see more 💋"
Her bio links include one for OnlyFans, where a subscription will set you back $19.99 a month.

In addition to the "Censored" bikini booty photo as the banner for her page, she has just one other locked photo up on the site. "Your view of me," reads the caption.
Her father wasn't thrilled about the move, releasing a statement to Us Weekly in which he clarified that Sami is "living with her mother" and that this decision "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," he added.
Following his statement, Richards released one of her own to Page Six, saying that Sami's decision "wasn't based on whose house she lives in." Denise added, "All I can do as a parent is guide her and trust her judgment, but she makes her own choices."
Sami living with Denise comes just months after Richards said the mother-daughter duo had a "strained" relationship. Back in February, she appeared on Jeff Lewis Live and said, at the time, that the teenager was still living with Charlie.
When Jeff asked Denise if she was "happy" about Sami living with her dad, the "RHOBH" alum admitted, "Obviously I would love for her to live with me. She lived with me all these years."
"But I think it's very difficult raising teenagers now and especially in Los Angeles when there's access to everything," she explained. "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 there's different rules at [Charlie's] house and that's okay."
"I would not wanna be a teenager right now with the social media and everything that you have access to," Denise added. "It's just, I think it's very challenging and difficult for these kids."
"Honestly, I have a strained relationship with her and it's very difficult," she said at the time. "I know though we'll get back to where we were eventually but right now, it is strained."

View StoryThe "Wild Things" star added that Sami was "not in school," admitting that it was an issue for her. "I just, I don't agree with certain things," she noted, seemingly referencing how she and Charlie's parenting styles differ. "But that's okay. We can agree to disagree."
When Jeff, 51, suggested that Denise was a "strict mom," she said, "I wouldn't say I'm super strict, but I do have rules and boundaries and you have to follow them."
According to Page Six, back in September 2021, Sami shared a TikTok video in which she described her mom's home as a "hell house" and said that she felt "trapped" there. The teen also revealed she "dropped out" of high school. The videos were later made private.
Things between them appeared to have thawed in May 2022, when Sami posted a photo with her mom to Instagram, wishing her a Happy Mother's Day and exclaiming, "i love u so much mom. u have no idea how grateful i am to have u in my life."
