Denise Richards' daughter Sami Sheen shares chilling claim she 'almost got sex trafficked'
' daughter Sami Sheen has claimed she had a close call with a suspected sex trafficker. OnlyFans star Sheen, 21, whose father is actor Charlie Sheen, shocked fans with a chilling TikTok video in which she said she was approached by two suspicious men in a parking lot late at night. She said: 'I think I almost got sex trafficked tonight. We were at this restaurant pretty late. We didn't leave until midnight and we were outside taking photos in the parking lot, we were there for five minutes. 'This man came up to us asking for money, I said "sorry I don't have any cash on me". 'He's being persistent, I'm like, "sorry no" and he goes "ok have a good night". Sheen said she then turned her head to see 'another man in front of us.' 'The second I saw this man I had the worst feeling in my stomach, like get the f**k away from me right now', she said. 'He comes up to me and asks "do you speak Spanish?" 'He starts to reach into his back pocket and I reach into my purse and pull out my pepper spray, and I open that b***h and he saw that and he started to pull a card out. 'We immediately book it, get in my car and lock the doors.' Sheen said she was disturbed to see one of the men in the background of her photos from earlier in the evening, saying: 'I feel like they're working together. The man was watching us the whole time, he was staring at us. 'I'm usually very aware of my surroundings and I didn't notice this man 'I don't think this man had good intentions at all.' The video comes days after Sheen revealed her intense battle with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The model — whose mom is in the midst of divorcing her estranged husband Aaron Phypers — started the recording by saying: 'Nothing aggravates me more than when someone is like, "Oh, my god. I'm so OCD I need to keep my room clean and organized."' She contrasted that statement with her own experience, explaining, 'I'm so OCD that even if I buy something from the grocery store that day and I read the expiration date over and over and over and over again, somehow I will convince myself it's a fake expiration date and it's actually expired a year ago.' Engaging her 192,000 followers, she continued, 'And if I eat it I'm going to get violently ill, so I have to throw it away and starve.'

‘Love is the key, right?' Evergreen Venus Williams plays on and on at 45
'Still haven't seen the Rolling Stones,' says Venus Williams, smiling, as she reminisced about her unforgettable professional tennis debut at the age of 14 in Oakland, California, an occasion that justified years of hype surrounding her stratospheric potential. Her first ever professional tennis match took place next door to a Rolling Stones concert. Now, 31 years later, at 45 years old, Williams is still here. Three weeks after returning to professional tennis for the first time in 16 months with a straight sets singles victory over the then world No 35 Peyton Stearns at the Citi Open in Washington, which marked her as the second-oldest woman in history to win a WTA Tour-level singles match and also silenced criticisms about her enduring presence on the tour, Williams now takes her comeback to the Cincinnati Open. Once one of the most precocious youngsters of her time, a US Open finalist by the age of 17, Williams continues to compete. She is one of the greatest tennis players of all time in her own right, a seven-time singles grand slam champion, Olympic gold medallist and former No 1 in singles. Despite all she has achieved, her enduring love for her sport means she continues to step on the practice court every day with the aim of being the best player she can be. 'Love is the key, right?' says Williams. 'If you don't love it, then get out of it. If you can, if you have that luxury, not everyone has that luxury. For me, I think a lot of the motivation for me is just to come back and try to play in the best health that I can. I never stopped hitting the ball, even when I was away, not as intensely as you would if you were playing tournaments, but I was still going out there. And I think that at the end of the day, you have to live your life on your own terms. Your terms should be yours. Doesn't matter what anyone else says or what anyone else thinks, if you get to live life on your own terms of life, [do] that. And I firmly believe in that.' This comeback, however, is not merely about striking a tennis ball. Last month, Williams revealed she has suffered with fibroids for years, non-cancerous tumours that develop in and around the uterus, which left her with excruciating symptoms including pelvic pain and heavy bleeding. In addition to the significant impact fibroids has had on Williams' everyday life, it also affected her tennis career. She says she had been misdiagnosed for years. Last week, in the aftermath of her returning in Washington, Williams posted a series of videos from exactly a year ago when she was undergoing an open myomectomy surgery to remove the fibroids and a large focal adenomyoma in her uterus, tissue from the lining of the uterus that had grown in her uterine wall: 'I was told I was inoperable,' she wrote. 'I was told I could bleed to death on the table. I was told to get a surrogate and forget the hope to carry my own children. I was misdiagnosed. I went untreated for years and years and years.' As she has returned to the court, Williams has used the publicity around her return to shine a light on women's medical issues. 'I just remember after my surgery, I was feeling so much gratitude but I was able to have the resources to finally get through that, and I remember that was the biggest feeling that I had. And at that point, I was nowhere near playing professional tennis, but now a year later, I'm in a completely different space, and I have a clean bill of health, thank God, and I'm ready to play and compete.' The next competitive challenge for Williams will be the 22-year-old world No 51 Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro. On the day Bouzas Maneiro was born, 24 September 2002, Williams had already won four grand slam singles titles, reached No 1 and contested the previous three consecutive major finals against her younger sister, Serena. The elder Williams sibling said the US swing was the focus for her return and she is unlikely to compete after the US Open. The rest is unknown. 'I'm very much in the moment,' she said. 'I don't think you should ever rule me out. That's all I can say.'

Pictured: British mother, 33, whose father-in-law 'tried to drown her in a resort swimming pool near Disney World in a row over his will' - as 62-year-old is arrested over 'attempted murder'
This is the first picture of the young British mother whose father-in-law allegedly tried to drown in a swimming pool near Disney World in Florida. Hairdresser Jasmine Wyld, 33, was left with a scratch on her chest and fearing for her life after getting into a heated row with Mark Gibbon, 62, about his will during a luxury holiday. Ms Wyld shares two children with Mr Gibbon's son, Alex, who had previously worked with his father at his film and television lighting firm Ultralight in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. He resigned as director in April 2023. Mr Gibbon Snr has since renamed the company as MRG Lighting. He is listed as the sole director. Facebook photos show Ms Wyld happily smiling with Alex and their two children, with one snap showing her posing with celebrity chef James Martin. Companies House documents show she was previously a director of Jasmine Elizabeth Hair, but the firm was dissolved 'via a voluntary strike off' in April 2024. Their nine-year-old daughter reportedly bravely jumped into the pool in an attempt to save her mother at the Solterra Resort in Davenport on Sunday after witnessing her grandfather repeatedly trying to plunge Ms Wyld's head under the water. Ms Wyld tonight declined to comment when contacted by the Daily Mail. According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Mr Gibbon had got into a spat with Ms Wyld over the 'stipulations of his will'. 'She advised that she could not breathe and believed that she was going to drown,' deputies wrote. '[The victim] advised that she had to fight Mark in order to get away from him and from under the water but he kept pushing her back under.' Mr Gibbon's company MRG Lighting has previously worked on television and film sets, as well as on music videos for Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Paloma Faith. He is also listed as the only director of Sage Hairdressing. Mr Gibbon allegedly only stopped the attempted drowning when two neighbouring sisters said they had called the Sheriff's Office. He was taken into custody on August 3 at around 5.19pm where he allegedly admitted to pushing his daughter-in-law under the water but denied trying to drown her. He claimed they were drinking when they got into a row about the will, reported Law and Crime. According to US website People, a witness told officers she had 'observed [Gibbon] push [Wyld] under the water and hold her there multiple times', and then watched as he 'scratched Jasmine on her chest.' Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said: 'It's great that Polk County draws visitors from all across the world, but we expect vacationers to behave while they visit with us, just as we expect our lifelong residents to do the same. 'Because Mr Gibbon couldn't control his anger, he may find himself spending a lot more time in Florida than he had anticipated.' Gibbon has been charged with two counts of battery and one count of attempted second-degree murder, according to court documents. He is next due in court on September 9.
