Sami Sheen opened up about a recent frightening experience she claims she endured while out with a friend.
“Bro I think I almost got sex-trafficked tonight. My friend and I were at this restaurant pretty late, we didn’t leave until midnight,” the social media star, 21, said in a TikTok video shared on Monday, August 4. “And [when] we were leaving, we were in the parking lot taking photos.”
Sami, the daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, added that she and her pal were snapping pictures for “maybe five minutes” before they were allegedly approached by an individual.
“Out of nowhere this man comes up to us asking us for money,” she claimed. “I’m like, ‘Sorry I don’t have any cash on me’ because I don’t, I don’t carry cash on me.”
After telling the man ‘no,’ he asked her if she could send him cash via Zelle or Venmo.
“He’s being pretty persistent and I’m like, ‘I’m sorry no,’ and then he’s like, ‘OK have a goodnight,’” she said. “I turn my head and there’s another man in front of us.”
When the second man approached Sami, she said she got the “heebie jeebies” and the “worst feeling” in her stomach. Sami looked at her friend and could tell she was having a similar reaction. As the man unexpectedly came up to them, he asked the pair if they spoke Spanish, which they do not.

“He was asking other stuff but I couldn’t understand what he was saying and then he [started] to reach into his back pocket,” she said. “So I reached into my purse and [pulled] out my pepper spray. And I open that bitch.”
While Sami didn’t see what the man was reaching for, she and her friend decided to go to her car and locked the door.
“We debriefed it the whole ride home because that was so weird. I feel like they’re working together, I don’t know,” she reflected. “We looked through the photos and this man was watching us the whole time.”
Sami claimed that the man appeared in multiple photos that they both took and was watching them from a distance.
Sami Sheen opened up about her ongoing mental health struggles amid mom Denise Richards’ divorce from Aaron Phypers. “Nothing aggravates me more than when someone’s like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m so OCD, I need to keep my room clean and organized,’” Sami, 21, said in a TikTok video uploaded on Saturday, July 26. “Alright, well […]
“I’m usually very aware of my surroundings and I did not notice this man,” she said. “So I guess this is your sign to be even more aware and more careful and try to trust your gut because even if it was harmless, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
