Fans Express Concern for Sami Sheen After She Details ‘Terrifying’ Late-Night Encounter originally appeared on Parade.
Denise Richards‘ daughter Sami Sheen found herself in the middle of a “terrifying” incident on Monday night, and after sharing her own concerns with her fans that she “almost got sex-trafficked” during the encounter in a new TikTok video, followers are sending her words of encouragement and advice.
The 21-year-old model took to the social media platform shortly after it all went down to document the moment, which happened outside of a restaurant where she’d been dining with a group of friends.
Before departing, somewhere around midnight, the group spent a few minutes outside in the parking lot taking photos, when “out of nowhere, this man came up to us asking for money.”
“I said, ‘Sorry, I don’t have any cash on me,'” she recalled, but after shooting him down, she said he became “persistent.” Eventually, he moved on, but another man approached them immediately after, which she said left her with “the worst feeling in my stomach…”
He asked her a slew of random questions before reaching into his back pocket, at which point she pulled a can of pepper spray out of her purse and “immediately” removed herself and her friend from the situation, running to their car and locking themselves inside.
As they replayed the situation on the way home, Sheen came to believe that the two were “working together,” and after reviewing the photos they’d taken before either of them approached, she realized that one of them “was watching us the whole time, he was just staring at us.”
Sheen shared one of the photos that captured a glimpse of him, sending out a warning to anyone watching. “I’m usually very aware of my surroundings, and I didn’t notice this man,” she admitted, cautioning her followers to remain vigilant and “trust your gut.”
“Even if it was harmless, it’s better to be safe than sorry—even though I don’t think he had good intentions at all,” she concluded, and her followers were in clear agreement.
“ALWAYS trust your gut !” one agreed, while another applauded, “Yes Sami, great job trusting your instincts ❤️.”
“Be careful out there,” someone else recommended, while another warned, “check your car for a tracker.”
“Omg I’m glad you are ok. So terrifying,” someone else commented, while another concluded, “Glad you’re safe ♥️.”
