Hey, reality TV lovers, buckle up because the divorce saga between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Denise Richards and her ex Aaron Phypers is serving up drama hotter than a Beverly Hills summer. Their split has been anything but amicable, with jaw-dropping revelations spilling out at every court hearing. And the latest twist? Aaron, 53, was just arrested right in the middle of a courtroom showdown on charges of spousal abuse.
This messy breakup first made headlines back in July when Aaron filed for divorce, demanding spousal support from Denise. Not long after, Denise hit back with a request for a restraining order, citing domestic abuse. While she was granted a temporary order, Aaron denied the claims - but things got even uglier when he allegedly shared private photos of the star, stirring up more chaos in this already explosive split.
The courtroom drama reached a fever pitch when authorities slapped the cuffs on Aaron Phypers during a recent hearing in Los Angeles. The judge ordered his arrest on spousal abuse charges after damning testimony from none other than his own cousin, Kathleen McAllister. Talk about family betrayal - this testimony flipped the case on its head!
“I saw Aaron hit Denise, and she had a terrible black eye right after. He’d rage and threaten to kill us if we ever spoke out,” Kathleen revealed in court, as reported by Page Six.
Kathleen didn’t hold back, detailing multiple instances of Aaron’s alleged aggression. Her words were a game-changer, prompting authorities to dig deeper into Denise’s accusations. With mounting evidence - and an outstanding warrant Aaron claims he didn’t even know about - officers detained him on the spot. Meanwhile, Aaron’s attorney insists Denise and her legal team set him up. Hmm, who’s telling the truth here?
Let’s talk cash, because Aaron isn’t just fighting for his freedom - he’s after a slice of Denise’s OnlyFans empire. When he filed for divorce, he claimed he deserved spousal support, alleging he helped create content for her lucrative account, which reportedly rakes in $200,000 to $300,000. Aaron’s story? He’s broke, jobless, and says Denise is to blame for his financial woes.
But here’s the tea: despite crying broke, paparazzi recently snapped Aaron outside a California lottery store, clutching a handful of tickets. “I’m financially desperate, about to be evicted, and my utilities are shut off,” he reportedly lamented. Yet, there’s no sign of him hustling for a job - just gambling on a jackpot. Is this a desperate man or a calculated move to paint a sob story?
Denise, on the other hand, has stayed mum. Photogs caught her outside the courthouse post-hearing, but she kept her lips sealed. They also spotted her filming for RHOBH, though her official role in the show’s latest casting remains under wraps. One thing’s for sure - this drama is far from over, and we’re here for every spicy update!
