"I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18 yr old daughter has.
"And I also can't be judgmental of her choices. I did Wild Things & Playboy quite frankly her father shouldn't be either.
"And to be able to ignore the negativity at her age? It took me many years & I still sometimes struggle.
" I'm in awe of her ability to be able to shut out the noise. Because it can destroy you."

The star explained that people post bikini snaps on a different apps and get paid for it, so went onto defend her daughter's decision to use the app.
She added: "I recently learned about @onlyfans in the last few months. The judgement because women & men of the adult film industry are on there. I imagine they're on Instagram & Twitter as well.
"Is there really a difference posting a picture of ourself in a bikini on IG? We've all done it. Because you get paid on OnlyFans? I'm pretty sure IG & Twitter do quite well off of all of us. Is it so bad to control it & monotize it too?"
She added: "I'm sorry, but s*** if I can get paid and at my age? to see me in a bikini?!? God bless you. Perhaps I should open my own account...
"Oh & those of you that are so judgemental... sounds like you might already subscribe to an @onlyfans account. Have a great weekend."
On Wednesday, Sami told followers that she is focusing on body positivity on the platform.
"Only thing that matters is making sure you're comfortable with what your posting & remembering that all bodies are beautiful," she wrote on Instagram.
Sami said her mum is ";extremely supportive" of her new venture.
However, Charlie told E! News he does "not condone" the decision.
"But since I'm unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity," the 56-year-old star said.
The Two and a Half Men star continued, "She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof."
