"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."
Earlier this week, Sami revealed she had joined OnlyFans after psting a photo of her in a swimming pool wearing a black bikini.
