Denise Richards Accuses Aaron Phypers of Abuse and Threats in Court Docs

Denise Richards’ split from husband Aaron Phypers is turning nastier by the day, with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum now seeking court-ordered protection following a string of disturbing allegations.

Phypers, 51, filed for divorce earlier this month after six years of marriage, listing July 4 as the official date of separation. 

The filing cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the breakup — and he’s asking the court to grant him spousal support from Richards, 54.

Though the couple still appear together on their family reality series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things alongside her daughters Sami, 21, Lola, 19, and Eloise, 13, a source told DailyMail.com their marriage had become ‘toxic.’

Things took a far darker turn this week when court documents revealed that on July 16, Denise filed for protection, accusing Phypers of horrific abuse that allegedly spanned their entire relationship.

‘Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages,’ Denise stated in her filing, per Us Weekly.

DailyMail.com has not received a response to its request for comment from reps for both Richards and Phypers. 

She also alleged that ‘Aaron regularly threatened to ‘break my jaw’ and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help — none of which ever happened.’ 

She claimed, ‘Aaron has caused me at least three concussions. Aaron has told me that he has left recording devices to record me while I was alone in hotel rooms and at my townhouses.’

Detailing a July 4 confrontation, Denise said, ‘Aaron repeatedly got within two inches of my face and screamed at me degrading profanities, including calling me a ‘c*** w****’ and a ‘piece of s***.’” 

The following day, she alleged, ‘Aaron came into her townhouse with his father and ‘got within inches of my face and began yelling at me, calling me a ‘c*** w****’ multiple times and with his right hand violently hit the bill of my hat with the back of his hand which caused my hat to fall off my head.’

Richards added that ‘Aaron repeatedly grabbed my left arm tightly.’

So far, Phypers has not publicly responded to the abuse claims.
