Sami Sheen reveals how she escaped a terrifying s*x-trafficking situation while out with friends amid mum Denise Richards' divorce drama
A night out turns sinister for Sami Sheen
Sami said she and her friends were wrapping up their evening around midnight when they were approached by a man asking for money. Despite turning him away politely, she claims he became unusually persistent, refusing to back off until she firmly declined.
But the real alarm bells rang when another man approached just moments later.
The gut feeling that saved Sami Sheen
As Sami recalled, she immediately felt uneasy. She described the second man's presence as triggering a deep, instinctive fear. When he started asking strange questions, like whether she could speak Spanish, she could not even process the conversation due to the sheer panic kicking in.
When the man reached for his back pocket, Sami responded by grabbing her pepper spray, holding it visibly. She said the man then pulled out a card, though she suspected it was more of a distraction tactic than anything helpful.
Sami and her friend ran to their car, locked themselves in, and tried to process what just happened. In hindsight, she is convinced the two men were working together. Reviewing the photos they had just taken, Sami noticed the man was watching them the entire time.
Though she admits nothing physically happened, Sami is adamant the situation was dangerous. She urged her followers to stay alert, noting that even someone like her—who considers herself highly aware,did not notice the man until it was almost too late.
"Even if it was harmless," she said, "it is always better to be safe than sorry."
Denise Richards divorce update
This harrowing story surfaces as Sami's mother, actress Denise Richards, navigates an ugly public divorce from Aaron Phypers. Richards recently appeared with what looked like a black eye, following a confrontation with Phypers, who has denied abuse allegations and instead accused her of substance issues and infidelity.

Instagram Copies More Snapchat Features: Now Lets You Repost Other's Reels
Last Updated: Instagram repost is the new way to share Reels from other people and the platform now also lets more privacy-focused additions. Instagram is taking its Snapchat love to a new level with feature additions to the platform that looks to keep its users entertained. The platform is also making changes to one of its existing features that courted controversy and concerns around user privacy. Reels have become a core part of Instagram's identity, even though the short video form was copied from TikTok. And now the company is doing it again, bringing new features that already exist on other competition platforms. Instagram Repost Update And More Instagram is letting you repost Reels from all users, even those you don't follow or know on the platform. This works similar to TikTok, where all the reposted short videos will be visible in a dedicated feed and even comes into the feed of people you follow. Reposting has worked differently on Instagram for years and these slight changes to the interface and its function gives it a new purpose. Instagram users could only share the Reel from the Stories earlier but now it can go as it is. In addition to this, Instagram is giving more controls to how the location-sharing feature works between friends on the app. The live map tells you the location of friends who have given access to track them and tell others about their whereabouts. Snapchat users know it as Snap Map and now Instagram is bringing it for its users. The good thing is that you will need to manually opt-in to use the feature and is disabled by default for the privacy of the users. Instagram has faced criticism for its policies and focus moving away from being a simple photo-sharing platform of yesteryears. The Meta-owned app has pivoted to different sides, and even considered going fully 9:16 with its default ratio but sense prevailed and the company had to revert back to its earlier phase. It is a platform that heavily caters to creators these days, who want to connect with their fans and followers. Adding a whole new set of features not only confuses them but also keeps the users on their toes, especially when they are thrown new tools which they never asked for in the first place. view comments First Published: August 07, 2025, 11:32 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
