Denise Richards‘ seemingly glamorous life is unraveling fast as her bitter divorce from Aaron Phypers spirals into a public and humiliating mess. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was blindsided when Phypers filed for divorce, and things are only getting uglier by the day.
Richards, 54, is now fighting off a financial and emotional ambush, as her 52-year-old estranged husband demands spousal support and reportedly plans to expose private details of their marriage in a jaw-dropping tell-all. The once low-profile split is now exploding into a full-blown Hollywood scandal, and insiders say Denise Richards is gearing up for war, according to Radar Online.
Despite once owning a Malibu wellness center, Quantum 360, Phypers now claims he has zero income. In court papers filed July 7 in Los Angeles Superior Court, he says he shut down his business last year and hasn’t made a dime since. And while he lists no assets or savings, he’s somehow racked up $105,000 in monthly expenses.
Yes, you read that right. Phypers claims he needs:
- $8,000 for utilities
- $10,000 for groceries
- $15,000 for dining out
- $5,000 for laundry
- $20,000 for clothes
Aaron Phypers Threatens More Than Denise Richards’ Wallet
He’s also gunning for spousal support and insists Denise can afford it. According to him, she makes over $250,000 a month through OnlyFans, reality shows like Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, and brand promotions. Richards reportedly denies that figure, but Phypers allegedly has “receipts” and a legal team ready to fight.
The situation may be financially draining, but that’s not the only threat looming over Denise. Sources say Phypers is preparing to dish dirt from their six-year marriage in a brutal tell-all. Apparently, he’s been “taking notes” and knows exactly how to make things personal.
“Denise is obviously telling people that there’s no way she earns $250K a month,” the insider said. “The expenses he’s detailed are insane, but he’s saying he’s got receipts … and he’s got a strong lawyer.”
Whether it’s real dirt or just emotional blackmail, the threat of a public airing of secrets could put Richards’ reputation and career at serious risk. With $6 million on the line, this battle is poised to get a whole lot messier before it’s over.
What started as a quiet split has now become a Hollywood nightmare. Between Aaron Phypers’ outlandish financial demands and his alleged plan to spill their marital secrets, Denise Richards is in for the fight of her life. If he gets what he wants, it could be one of the most humiliating celeb breakups in Hollywood.
