Denise Richards’ Lawyer Accuses Aaron Phypers of Harassment and Theft in Divorce Battle

Denise Richards Accuses Estranged Husband of Harassment and Theft

Denise Richards’ legal team has filed accusations against her estranged spouse, Aaron Phypers, claiming ongoing harassment and theft. Her attorney, Brett Berman, stated that Phypers has continued to torment Richards by sharing private data from her stolen mobile devices and laptop, despite being warned in writing to cease such actions. The lawyer emphasized that these behaviors are disturbing Richards’ peace of mind and will be addressed in court.

Phypers, 52, dismissed the allegations, suggesting Richards is experiencing “another one of her now-infamous ‘upside-down jacket’ moments,” a humorous reference to her previous public fashion mistake. He also denied stealing anything, asserting that Richards’ accusations are unfounded.

Phypers was reportedly warned in writing to stop spreading private information about Richards.

In a detailed statement, her lawyer revealed that Phypers had been “disseminating private information” despite clear warnings. Richards chooses not to respond publicly to Phypers’ false allegations and intends to address such issues legally.

Meanwhile, Phypers has publicly accused Richards of addiction issues and an ongoing affair, citing a 20-year history with Vicodin, Adderall, and alcohol. He claimed she begged him not to leave after discovering her alleged infidelity, and he detailed efforts to recover her smashed phone, which she denied having any involvement with.

Phypers accused Richards of physically abusing him on July 4—linked to their separation on July 7—and claimed she left his phone smashed after a confrontation. Richards was granted a restraining order following claims of abuse, including an incident where she sustained a black eye, which Richards attributed to a fall. Phypers, however, insists her injury was from a drunken fall.

Richards described in legal documents how Phypers allegedly often used violence during their relationship, including choking, slapping, and threatening to kill her if she reported him to authorities. Phypers denied the abuse allegations, asserting they are baseless. A source suggested her injuries might have resulted from falling while intoxicated rather than abuse.

Richards has yet to comment publicly on these new allegations, but the legal proceedings continue to unfold amid ongoing disputes between the two.
