Sami Sheen's Toxic Relationship Advice Precedes Denise Richards' Divorce Bombshell
TOXIC RELATIONSHIP TIPS FROM SAMI SHEEN: JUST DAYS BEFORE STEP-DAD FILES FOR DIVORCE!
In a shocking turn of events, Sami Sheen, daughter of Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers, has dished out advice on dealing with toxic partners - mere days before her stepdad filed for divorce from mom Denise!
The 21-year-old influencer took to TikTok to share her thoughts, captioning the video "My advice on how to remove the rose-colored glasses in a toxic relationship." With an impressive following of 189,000 fans, Sami's words of wisdom quickly went viral.
Sami began by posing a thought-provoking question: "If you're dating someone toxic, but you don't really know if they're toxic... You need to ask yourself: if you had a daughter and she was dating a man like this, what would you tell her?" The candid influencer continued, "And then, boom. You're like, 'OK, I would tell her to break up with him, block him, move on, like he's a piece of s, treats her like s.' I don't know, that works for me because sometimes it's so easy for me to overlook everything. But if I'm imagining having a kid and she's getting treated like this, absolutely the f* not."
Sami confessed to being a "motherly person" with a desire to have children, noting that's why the exercise works for her. She suggested that others could replace the daughter in the scenario with a friend or mother.
The OnlyFans creator emphasized the struggle of escaping toxic relationships, acknowledging that it can be a "whole cycle" filled with judgment from those around you. "I understand more than anyone [that] it is so hard and almost feels impossible sometimes to get out of a toxic relationship and the judgement from people when you keep going back to that person," she shared.
Sami's advice aims to help individuals gain clarity by imagining how they would advise someone else in their situation. "Picturing someone else in your exact situation, and if they came to you being like, 'Hey, my boyfriend is doing x, y, and z to me. I need your advice,' you need to tell them what to do, and then there's your answer," she said.
Just days after Sami's viral video, her stepdad Aaron Phypers, 52, filed for divorce from Denise Richards, citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple had been married for six years and appeared together on the reality TV series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
The timing of Phypers' filing couldn't be more ironic, given Sami's recent advice on toxic relationships. The estranged couple has two daughters, Sami (21) and Lola (19), as well as Eloise (13).
As the drama unfolds, Denise herself seemed oblivious to marital troubles, posing in a sexy swimsuit for her 4th of July Instagram post.
The last time she posted an image with her husband was in April, and their most recent red carpet appearance together was in May. Phypers and Richards began dating in 2017, got engaged in January 2018, and tied the knot that September.
Their Malibu wedding ceremony was filmed for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Denise has previously been married to Charlie Sheen from 2002 to 2006.
