Sami Shine has opened up about a recent frightening experience she claims she endured while with a boyfriend.
“Bro I think I almost got sex trafficking tonight. My boyfriend and I were at this restaurant pretty late, we didn’t leave until midnight,” the 21-year-old social media star said in a TikTok video shared on Monday, Aug. 4. “And [when] we left, we were in the parking lot taking pictures.”
Sami, daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, added that she and her boyfriend were rocking the pictures for “maybe five minutes” before they were allegedly approached by an individual.
“Out of nowhere this man comes to us asking us for money,” she claimed. “I’m like, ‘Sorry I don’t have any money on me,’ because I don’t, I don’t carry cash.”
After the man was told “no,” he asked her if she could send him cash via Zelle or Venmo.
“He’s pretty persistent and I’m like, ‘I’m sorry no,’ and then he’s like, ‘Okay, good night,’” 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. When the man unexpectedly approached them, he asked the couple if they spoke Spanish, which they didn’t.

“He was asking other things, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying, and then he [started] reaching into my back pocket,” she said. “So I reached into my wallet and [pulled] out my pepper spray. And I opened that bitch up.”
While Sami didn’t see what the man was reaching for, she and her friend decided to go to their car and lock the doors.
“We drove all of this home because it was so weird. I feel like they’re working together, I don’t know,” she mused. “We looked at the photos and this person was watching us the whole time.”
Sami claimed that the man appeared in several photos the two of them took and watched them from a distance.
Sami Sheen has opened up about his ongoing mental health struggles during mom Denise Richards’ divorce from Aaron Phypers. “Nothing prepares me more than when someone is like, ‘Oh my God, I’m so OCD, I have to keep my room clean and tidy,’” Sami, 21, said in a TikTok video uploaded on Saturday, July 26. “Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. […]
“I’m usually very aware of my surroundings and I didn’t notice this man,” she said. “So I think this is a sign of you being even more aware and careful and trying to trust your gut, because even if it was harmless, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Several of Sami’s followers took to the comments section to share their advice in case anyone finds themselves in a similar scenario.
“Please please never be alone, they always try something new to get their goals. Glad you both are okay!!” one user wrote, while another shared: “Turn the picture and location over to the police, you can protect the next victim.”
