The divorce drama between Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers has taken another nasty turn. In a new court filing, Phypers denies all domestic violence claims, calling Richards the aggressive partner and highlighting issues of stalking, harassment, and financial disputes.
Bravo reality star Denise Richards filed for a temporary domestic violence restraining order in July, claiming repeated abuse over their six-year marriage. Aaron Phypers’ response flips the narrative, asserting that Richards was the abusive one. He emphasizes repeated phone calls, messages, and even enlisting friends and family to contact him on her behalf.

Actions he says constitute stalking and harassment. Screenshots included in his filing show multiple attempts by Richards to reach him over a period of weeks, painting a picture of ongoing intrusion. Phypers’ filing details further incidents, including an AirTag allegedly placed on his vehicle by Richards, forced entry into family members’ rooms, and destruction of his property, according to People Magazine updates.
“I found an AirTag tracker on my vehicle 7/6/2025, and she admitted putting it there,” Phypers stated.
He claims she smashed his phone and interfered with his professional work, including photos he took for her OnlyFans account. The filing asserts that he owns the copyrights to these images, making her claims to them unnecessary.

Phypers also raises concerns about spousal support, arguing that Richards’ actions have prevented him from earning income by blocking access to essential equipment. He frames the domestic violence proceedings as a tactic to cut him off from financial support, stating that she, as the primary earner, should cover his legal fees and other expenses.

Recently, Richards was granted temporary access to one of their residences to retrieve personal belongings, including pets. Meanwhile, Phypers is required to stay a certain distance away, though he was permitted to collect his own property. The filings illustrate the complexity of their separation, with accusations of harassment, stalking, and obstruction dominating the legal battle.
With allegations of abuse, stalking, and financial manipulation flying in both directions, the truth remains murky. Are these claims genuine or part of a legal strategy? Observers are left questioning credibility, motives, and what really happened behind closed doors in this high-profile split. But one thing they can count on, this divorce between Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers is not lacking for drama.
