Denise Richards' Estranged Hubby Aaron Phypers Faces Serious Jail Time Over Abuse Charges

Shocking Charges Rock Denise Richards' World

Hey, darlings, buckle up for some serious tea! Denise Richards, our fave Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stunner, is in the middle of a messy split with estranged husband Aaron Phypers, and things just got uglier. Aaron, 53, was slapped with four felony charges last week after an arrest right outside the courthouse on Friday, October 17, 2025, linked to alleged abuse against the 54-year-old reality star.

According to court docs scooped up by Us Weekly on October 20, the Deputy District Attorney isn’t playing around. Aaron faces two counts of injuring a spouse and two counts of dissuading a witness by force or threat. These charges stem from incidents reportedly dating back to January 17, 2022, and May 3, 2022. Talk about a past coming back to haunt you!

If convicted, Aaron could be staring down a hefty eight-year sentence - four years per spouse injury count. His arraignment is set for December 19, so mark your calendars for more drama. Can Denise catch a break, or is this just the tip of the iceberg?

Bail, Battles, and Bold Denials

After posting a cool $200,000 bond to get out of custody, Aaron isn’t going down without a fight. His attorney dropped a statement confirming the arrest and release, but they’re not buying the accusations. They’re calling foul, hinting that Denise might be spinning tales from years ago.

'We’re confident the evidence will clear Aaron’s name - these claims seem to echo old, unproven stories from their family law disputes,' his legal team hinted.

The statement insists they haven’t even seen the full criminal complaint yet, but they’re ready to prove Aaron’s innocence. With nearly four years since the alleged incidents, skeptics are wondering if there’s more to this story. Could this be a case of he-said-she-said, or is there solid proof waiting to drop?

OnlyFans Fortune at the Heart of the Fight

Now, let’s talk cash, honey! While Aaron’s legal woes pile up, he’s also gunning for half of Denise’s OnlyFans earnings - rumored to be a jaw-dropping $200,000 to $300,000 a month. His argument? He claims he snapped the spicy pics that keep her account sizzling, so he deserves a cut of the pie.

According to TMZ on October 17, Aaron’s court filings paint a picture of a man down on his luck. He says Denise cut him off from her accounts, leaving him broke and struggling to cover rent and utilities. Is this a desperate plea for funds, or does he have a legit claim to her online empire?

Either way, this battle is far from over. Between the felony charges and the financial feud, Denise and Aaron’s split is shaping up to be one of the messiest in Bravo history. Stick with us as we keep tabs on every scandalous twist and turn!
