The 51-year-old actress made headlines this summer when both she and her 18-year-old daughter, Sami Sheen, joined the subscription-based, adult social media platform, OnlyFans.
SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live, Denise hints that while the move has proven to be financially lucrative.
she only signed on initially as a way to help alleviate some of the public vitriol aimed at Sami for joining the site first.
The reason why I wanted to join was because she got so much backlash for that, that I didn't think it was really fair," Denise says.
The Real Housewives alum says that while Sami is 18 years old and did not require parental consent when creating her account, she did broach the subject with her parents prior to taking the plunge.
Admitting she was "surprised" at first, Denise says that Sami "reassured me that she was going to keep it very tasteful to mainly, like, bikini stuff, bathing suit and stuff like that."
Among those who initially voiced his disapproval was Denise's ex-husband and Sami's father, Charlie Sheen, but he quickly changed his tune.
For Denise, she says she's comfortable pushing boundaries a bit further than her daughter with the content that she shares.
