LOS ANGELES — OnlyFans creator Sami Sheen has taken to TikTok to defend her status as a sex worker and to educate the platform’s users about the diversity of activities within the category.
The 19-year-old content creator joined OnlyFans last year and quickly gained notoriety with mainstream media — unsurprisingly, since she is the daughter of actors Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards.
Earlier this month, Sheen posted a GRWM or "Get Ready With Me" video on TikTok, where she referred to herself as an “s-worker” in the euphemistic lingo necessitated by the platform’s censorship of sexual topics and terms.
Commenters then mislabeled her as a “p-star,” meaning “porn star,” prompting Sheen to post the clarification video.
“Okay, I need to clear some things up,” Sheen begins in the video. “I’m not a ‘p-star.’ I don’t meet up with people. I don’t film myself having s. I don’t do that. But I also have no judgment towards the people who do do that. That’s just not my line of work, and that’s not something I’m comfortable with doing.”
Sheen notes in the video that she called herself a sex worker because her main source of income is from her OnlyFans.
“And if people did their fucking research, they would realize that there’s multiple forms of s-work,” she adds.
“I love my job,” Sheen tells her audience of almost 100K followers. “There’s absolutely nothing that anyone could say to make me get a different job at the moment, and I don’t know why people are so judgmental towards it if I love it, and it makes me happy, and it’s boosting my confidence so much, and I can work from home, I love talking to my subscribers, I make my own hours.”
Sheen also notes that she could go on for hours explaining herself, but that she “shouldn’t need to do that.”
