Sami Sheen Opens Up About Strained Relationship with Dad Charlie Sheen: “We Haven’t Spoken in a Year”

Sami Sheen is speaking out about the difficult reality of her relationship with her father, Charlie Sheen — and why they’ve been out of touch for nearly a year.

The 21-year-old daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards shared a candid TikTok on Tuesday that gave fans a raw glimpse into their estranged bond. In the clip, Sami used audio from her father’s infamous 2011 “20/20” interview — the same interview that went viral during his well-documented meltdown.

The audio features ABC’s Andrea Canning asking Charlie, “Are there any drugs in the house?” to which he responded with a mix of sarcasm and mania:
“If there are, you better find them and give them to me immediately… Oh! Drugs in the house, ah, we’re all gonna die!”

Over the clip, Sami wrote: “When people wonder why I haven’t spoken to my dad in a year but this is my dad.”
She captioned the post: “Pretty much sums it up.”

In a recent appearance on Gia Giudice’s podcast, Casual Chaos, Sami got even more real.

“We haven’t spoken on the phone in almost a year,” she said, adding that it’s been over six months since they last exchanged texts.

When asked about her father’s sobriety, she admitted, “I have no idea if he’s still sober.”
Sami explained that the messages he had been sending her were so disturbing, she hoped they were influenced by a relapse. “That would at least make it a little better,” she said.
Eventually, she had to draw a line: “I told him, ‘Do not contact me ever again because this is crazy.’”

Sami’s mother, actress Denise Richards, has been open about the challenges she faced while raising their daughters amid Charlie Sheen’s personal struggles.

Speaking last month on Sibling Revelry, a podcast hosted by Kate and Oliver Hudson, Denise shared how she tried to shield Sami and her younger sister Lola from their father’s erratic behavior.

“There was a time I didn’t know if he was going to live,” she said. “I didn’t want the girls to get to know their dad through headlines.”

Instead, she chose to give her daughters space to form their own views.
“I wanted it to be their experience, their relationship. I didn’t want to put my feelings on them — that wouldn’t be fair,” Denise explained.

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards were married in 2002 and divorced in 2005 while Denise was pregnant with Lola. Despite their separation and his high-profile struggles, Denise tried to keep their daughters close to their father — but now, as Sami becomes an adult, she’s drawing her own boundaries.

While Charlie hasn’t publicly responded to Sami’s recent comments, the emotional distance between father and daughter is clearly still raw.
