Denise Richards is furious with her estranged soon-to-be ex-husband, Aaron Phypers, after his latest demands. It looks as if this celebrity divorce is going to get a lot messier before it is settled. Aaron Phypers, the 53-year-old wellness entrepreneur, seemingly believes he has Denise Richards right where he wants her in the growing chaos that is their divorce. The latest development in the ongoing battle between the reality star and her ex is over $150K.
This is the exact amount that Phypers is demanding that Richards hand over to him in the meantime to cover back rent and legal fees to avoid becoming homeless. He claims he and his family could be left homeless if the money doesn’t come through.
He cites the closure of his wellness business and a year of unemployment. However, the Daily Mail writes that Denise Richards is making it clear there is no way she has any intention of footing his bills.
The tension between the former couple has been building for months. As previously reported, Phypers filed for divorce in July 2025, listing “irreconcilable differences” and citing their separation date as July 4. The divorce case has already been marked by serious allegations of violence and drug abuse.
Accusations Fly on Both Sides Of Aaron Phypers And Denise Richards’ Divorce
Both Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers claim they were victimized during their relationship. Phypers alleges repeated harassment, including frequent calls and messages from Richards, plus alleged attacks on his privacy. He’s accused her of forcefully entering family members’ homes and destroying his property.
Meanwhile, Richards’ team is standing firm, denying any claims of wrongdoing and refusing financial support for Phypers. He counters that he has been blocked from earning income, pointing to Richards’ reported OnlyFans revenue of $250,000 a month as evidence that she has the sole financial power in the split.
“She has prevented me from earning income, so she is the only one with income. She should support me,” Phypers stated in his court documents.
“First of all, why is she responsible for his family. Second, why does he control her OnlyFans??? one fan asks. “He’s a scammer who needs to get a job. And we all heard him threatening to break her hand on Real Housewives,” another adds.
Neither Denise Richards nor Aaron Phypers appears to be backing down. Legal experts expect the legal battle to reach record book status. As tensions escalate, insiders warn the courtroom skirmishes may become even more personal, dragging both families and public exes into the fray.
This divorce is far from over, and the messy public drama may just be getting started. Fans of celebrity court battles should brace themselves. This one has all the makings of a courtroom cage fight. Needless to say, fans are ready to grab the popcorn and watch the drama unfold.
