Denise Richards’ daughter Sami Sheen says she nearly became sex trafficking victim during night out
-Bravo.
Sami Sheen, daughter of actors Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, recently shared a troubling experience on TikTok, claiming she narrowly avoided a possible sex trafficking attempt while out with friends.
In the video, posted earlier this week, the 21-year-old model and influencer said the incident occurred late Monday night after she and her friends left a restaurant around midnight. While taking photos in the parking lot, Sheen said a man approached them asking for money. Despite telling him she didn’t have cash, she claimed the man became increasingly insistent, even suggesting payment through apps like Zelle or Venmo.
Shortly after that encounter, Sheen said a second man appeared, triggering an intense sense of fear. “The second I saw this man, I had the worst feeling in my stomach,” she recalled, adding that he began asking if she spoke Spanish and saying other things she couldn’t understand.

As the man reached into his back pocket, Sheen said she pulled out her pepper spray, prompting him to instead pull out a card. At that moment, she and her friend ran to their car and locked the doors.
Once safely inside the vehicle, Sheen said they reviewed photos taken earlier and noticed the first man had been watching them the entire time. She included an image of him in her TikTok and used the moment to urge her followers to stay alert and trust their instincts.
“I’m usually very aware of my surroundings, and I did not notice this man,” she said. “Even if it was harmless, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
The incident comes amid a turbulent time for Sheen’s mother, Denise Richards, who is currently involved in a high-profile divorce and legal dispute with estranged husband Aaron Phypers.
