Actress Denise Richards and her ex-husband, Aaron Phypers, are embroiled in a brutal divorce battle. According to a report by RadarOnline, with Richards already bearing the financial burden for luxuries and necessities, she fears she may be destined to work for the rest of her life.
An insider told the outlet, “Denise is well-off but not massively rich, and she’s petrified she’s now doomed to keep working for life to sort out the financial fallout that is on the way from her divorce.” They added, “It’s a horrible spot for her to be in.” Denise Richards and Aaron Pyphers filed for divorce on July 7, 2025, after nearly six years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. However, the separation has intensified with allegations of domestic violence, restraining order disputes, and mutual accusations of abuse and privacy violations.
In a recent development, Aaron accused Denise of causing chaos at his family home. People Magazine reported that Aaron contacted the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department when Denise unexpectedly appeared at his property amidst their ongoing divorce. He told emergency dispatchers that he “fears for his parents.” While the actress’ attorney denied the allegations, claiming she had only gone to retrieve her dogs after Aaron had one of her pets euthanized without her consent, Aaron released a statement of his own. He stated, “Denise’s attorney has consistently struck out in pursuit of the truth. There is a difference between telling the truth and trying to protect your client.” He concluded by saying, “Having the title of attorney or being a celebrity does not put you above the law. It does not give you the right to humiliate others for the sake of your interests. Both of these actions have been readily apparent here in the last couple of weeks.”
