Denise Richards finds herself in a heated legal battle with her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers. Aaron has recently filed court documents demanding spousal support, claiming financial difficulties due to disrupted business operations in late 2024. The spotlight is now on this storied couple as their public split becomes increasingly contentious.
Phypers argues for temporary spousal support to maintain what he describes as a "status quo" of "financial fairness during litigation." Despite facing a pending criminal and domestic violence case, he insists these should not hinder his claim. "Temporary support focuses primarily on need and ability to pay, not final fault determinations," Phypers contends.
“There has been no criminal conviction,” he emphasizes, defending his plea for financial aid.
The divorce, filed with "irreconcilable differences" as the cause, has seen Richards accusing Phypers of domestic violence, leading her to seek a restraining order. Phypers, however, has consistently denied these allegations, maintaining his not guilty plea.
Adding another layer to the dispute, Phypers claims rights to 50% of the revenue from Richards' lucrative OnlyFans account. He argues that his contributions to her content and brand entitle him to a share. "She is literally making money every single month from my intellectual property," he claims, referencing the photographs he took for her page.
Aaron's financial woes have been compounded by an eviction from the couple's former Los Angeles residence, leading his parents to resort to a now-deleted GoFundMe campaign. The plea for help, which Richards criticized as "outrageous," highlighted the family's desperation and cited the emotional toll of losing contact with Richards' daughter, Eloise.
In court, Richards has taken steps to protect her assets, arguing against Phypers' claims to her OnlyFans earnings due to procedural oversights on his part. The legal wrangling continues as both parties navigate the complexities of high-profile divorce proceedings.
This unfolding drama between Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers shows no signs of slowing down, with each new court filing adding fuel to an already blazing fire.
