Sami Sheen reveals how she escaped a terrifying s*x-trafficking situation while out with friends amid mum Denise Richards' divorce drama
What started as a casual night out with friends ended in a chilling encounter for Sami Sheen, the 21-year-old daughter of Denise Richards. The influencer took to TikTok to share how a late-night photo session in a restaurant parking lot quickly spiralled into what she believes was a near s*x-trafficking attempt. 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.

Su From So: How a low-budget Kannada film gained nationwide attention
'The secret everyone pretended not to know' is officially revealed - that's what Raj B Shetty wrote in his caption as his character reveal poster from the Kannada blockbuster film 'Su From So' was shared on social media, weeks after the film's re. While the makers' call to keep his cameo appearance a secret is brilliant and understandable, why did the audience choose to 'pretend not to know'?advertisementIn a world where the biggest surprises and cameo appearances immediately go viral on X and Instagram, the audience chose to enjoy this pleasant surprise and also save it for those watching the next show. Now, this is a rare occasion we hardly see happening. It only happens when viewers accept a film as their own and contribute to its success in more ways than just at the ticket counter. Raj B Shetty's X post revealing his character from the recent Kannada film 'Su From So' 'Su From So', by debutant director JP Thuminad, released in theatres across Karnataka on July 25, with little to no promotions prior to release. Banking solely on word of mouth, quite literally, using it as their marketing campaign by organising paid premieres across Karnataka and capturing audience reactions and reviews, the makers created enough buzz that, within a couple of days, it started spreading like wildfire. The social drama/comedy film has crossed the Rs 50 crore-mark at the box office. The film has sold more than one million tickets on BookMyShow, making it one of the few Kannada films to achieve this feat. 'Su From So' was released across Kerala in Malayalam on August 1 and has shown an upward trend in terms of audience reception and box office performance. The fact that this film was made on a budget of only Rs 6 crore, makes all the other numbers look exponentially more pleasing.'Su From So', having been produced by Raj B Shetty's Lighter Buddha Films, was picked up by Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films for distribution across Kerala. After release, Anil Thadani's AA Films acquired the North India distribution rights, while Mythri Movie Makers acquired the rights to dub the film in Telugu and distribute it across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film was also released internationally by Phars Film and has been expanding its theatrical reach in several important centres.'Bandaro Bandaro Bava Bandaroo' has been on my playlist for a while, and that's just a background tune for the entry of a secondary character. The love has not been limited to the film but to every individual character in it. Requests for Ravi Anna to get a spin-off film, people dressing up children to look like Bava, Ashoka, Bhanu, Satish Anna, and Chandranna - all are fan favourites. Let's not forget Karunakara Guruji, played by Raj B Shetty - since we don't have to keep it a secret these are character that are unforgettable in the movie, we still have to keep the story a secret as 'Su From So' is gearing up for release in other languages. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Raj B Shetty (@rajbshetty)The minimal marketing strategy was an interesting approach that other filmmakers should use as a reference for their strategies. The makers organised promotional paid premieres in key locations of Karnataka, starting with Mangaluru, Shivamogga, Mysuru, and finally the time the team reached Mysuru to promote the film, the hype built by the promotional videos from the premieres in Mangaluru and Shivamogga compelled the makers to add extra shows in Mysuru and Bengaluru. This strategy worked wonders for the film, especially given the lethargy among viewers towards promotions restricted to interviews and mega events This is not the first time an 'underdog' film from Kannada cinema has piqued the audience's interest through a unique marketing strategy. 'Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare', a 2023 Kannada college comedy film, grabbed attention right from its title reveal - and the innovative marketing campaign backed the film so much that people still refer to it as the last complete comedy entertainer before 'Su From So'.Raj B Shetty's very first film as a director and actor, 'Ondu Motteya Kathe and 'Rangitaranga', Rishab Shetty's directorial 'Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shaale', Kasaragodu', 'Karva', and 'Love Mocktail' are some examples of underdog films that were accepted and loved by the audience, who carried these films to hit a time when digital noise often drowns out genuine creativity, films like 'Su From So' remind us that strong storytelling, authentic characters, and audience trust are still the most effective marketing tools that have now helped it gain nationwide attention. With every such underdog victory, the industry carves out a stronger identity on the national stage.'Su From So', short for Sulochana from Someshwara, features Shaneel Gautham, JP Thuminad, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash K Thuminadu, Deepak Rai Panaje, and Mime Ramdas, among others. The music for the film has been composed by Sumedh K, and it has been produced by Shashidhar Shetty Baroda, Ravi Rai Kalasa, and Raj B Shetty. This film comes highly recommended - and watching it as a community experience will only make it better for you.- EndsMUST WATCH:
