This comes after Richards claimed that her ex subjected her to domestic abuse.
Phypers’ cousin, Kathleen McAllister, supported Richards’ claims that her ex strike her.
‘I saw Aaron hit Denise and immediately she had a really bad black eye,’ McAllister claimed via her virtual testimony about an incident on January 17, 2022. ‘I’m literally in shock now to this day about it.’
On September 15 Phypers filed a response to her previous claims of domestic violence – which were made in a restraining order in July as she alleged her 52-year-old partner ‘repeatedly abused’ her during their six-year marriage.
According to court documents obtained by People magazine, he has refuted her claims and denied the allegations.
Richards’ ex has also asked the former Bond girl for money.
He wanted $150,000 to pay back rent and his lawyers as he is in a pinch, according to an October report from TMZ.
Phypers told a judge overseeing their divorce proceedings that he has to come up with the money fast or else he and his family will be rendered homeless.
The Canada native closed his wellness business Quantum 360 Club a year ago and has not been able to find employment since, he has maintained.
Richards did not take the request well as she soon after she filed a response to the judge that she did not want to give her former husband any money.Â

Phypers filed for divorce from Richards on July 7, 2025, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ and listing their date of separation as July 4, 2025. The couple had been married for six years.Â
Phypers rep told Daily Mail: ‘Phypers who owns and has copyrights to all the content of Denise Richards OnlyFans account bringing in $250,000 month, has had zero dollars for basic living expenses let alone any ability to hire legal representation for a fair trial.Â
‘Richards is attempting to render Aaron homeless.’
Phypers told a judge overseeing their divorce proceedings that she needs to give him $150K
He said in the documents: ‘There is no need for such orders, as I have not abused her and will not abuse her.’
He also alleges that his ex has been ‘frequently’ phoning and messages him and his father.
He claimed: ‘As well as asking other family and friends to ask me to call her so often that it should be considered harassment, demonstrating that she is not afraid of me and that she is the aggressive one.’
Phypers has also claimed the actress has ‘attacked’ and ‘harassed’ him ‘many times’.
Elsewhere in the documents, he referenced an alleged incident on August 3, saying: ‘She barged aggressively and forcefully into other family members’ living spaces, including my brother’s room (which he recorded), violating his privacy rights and looking through his personal property.
‘Denise violently smashed my cell phone, placed it in a trash can buried under bags of trash, and then lied about, claiming she had not taken my phone.’

He has argued against paying expenses caused by the alleged abuse, and insisted he shouldn’t pay spousal support.
He added: ‘She has prevented me from earning income, so she is the only one with income.Â
‘She should support me.’
The couple married in 2018 in a beachfront ceremony that aired on Bravo during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Phypers, who filed for divorce in July following what has been described as an explosive argument, previously described her allegations of abuse as ‘bogus’.
He said over the summer: ‘She’s upset. I publicly dumped her to the world, and she’s mad, so how does she retaliate? File a bogus abuse claim.’
