Celebrity divorces are never boring, but Denise Richards’ split from Aaron Phypers seems determined to set a new standard for chaos. What starts as a private legal matter has now exploded into a high-stakes showdown. One that involves six figures, alleged threats, and a social media frenzy that shows no signs of cooling off.
The latest twist comes courtesy of Phypers, the 53-year-old wellness entrepreneur, who claims he and his family could be left homeless unless Richards coughs up $150,000 immediately. According to him, the money is needed to cover back rent and legal fees.
This desperate plea comes after the closure of his business and a reported year of unemployment. Meanwhile, Richards isn’t biting. Her team has made it clear that she has no intention of footing her ex’s bills, leaving Phypers’ request hanging in the spotlight and in the court of public opinion.
Divorce Filed Amid Allegations of Violence and Abuse
The tension between Richards and Phypers has been simmering since he filed for divorce in July 2025, citing “irreconcilable differences.” But this is far from an amicable split. Both sides are leveling serious allegations. Phypers claims repeated harassment from Richards, including unwanted messages and alleged attacks on his privacy, even accusing her of breaking into family members’ homes and damaging property.
Richards, of course, denies any wrongdoing and refuses financial support, while Phypers points to her reported OnlyFans earnings. Which, by the way, is rumored to be $250,000 a month, as proof that she has all the financial power. His argument: if she controls the income, she should be responsible for supporting him. The Daily Mail reports that fans online aren’t exactly sympathetic. Some are accusing him of manipulation and pointing to past threats as a red flag.
“He didn’t put much planning into his move, apparently, and now she’s supposed to pay him for getting dumped? That’s not how these things work, fella,” one commenter writes.
“Unfortunately for him he was caught on camera (real housewives) threatening to crush her hand. If he has any sense he will disappear quietly,” another suggests.
The drama isn’t staying behind closed courtroom doors. Social media is ablaze with opinions, snark, and outrage. Followers debate everything from financial responsibility to past alleged threats. While legal experts warn that the battle could grow even more personal, dragging both families and ex-partners into the courtroom chaos.
The Drama Is Only Getting Started
With neither side backing down, insiders predict this divorce could make headlines for months. Between six-figure demands, accusations flying, and reality TV footage potentially hitting the courtroom, it’s clear this isn’t your typical celebrity split. Fans are already grabbing their popcorn, and the public spectacle shows no signs of slowing.
Let’s be real. Aaron Phypers asking Denise Richards for $150K while pointing to her OnlyFans earnings is giving full “desperate reality star ex” energy. Meanwhile, Richards is standing firm. She is showing that not every celebrity divorce ends with one party playing sugar daddy to the other. One thing is for sure. This mess is far from over, and fans are here for every shocking twist.
