Denise Richards made a shock visit to estranged husband Aaron Phypers’ LA home on Sunday – days after taking out a temporary restraining order on him.
The 54-year-old actress, whose split from Phypers, 52, was revealed last month, was granted the TRO on July 16, after accusing Phypers of years of physical and emotional abuse – which he has denied.
The court ordered Phypers to stay 100 yards away from Richards and her homes, workplaces and cars – but Richards was seen arriving at Phypers’ Calabasas home ‘to pick up a dog’ before she was confronted by police in photos obtained by TMZ.
Sources told the publication Richards arrived ‘unannounced’ at the home and ‘started banging on a back door, demanding to be let inside.’
Phypers saw this and immediately left due to concern over the restraining order.
Phypers’ parents let Richards inside and it was claimed she ‘barged in, demanded the dog’ and ‘screamed at his parents that they needed to get out of the house, putting her finger in their faces.’

The publication claims she allegedly began ‘swinging’ at Phypers’ brother Brett and ‘throwing mail at him.’ Brett was later pictured standing by Richards’ parked Corvette as they waited for police.
Richards was seen being questioned by three Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies outside the home, with police concluding ‘there was no crime committed and no arrests were made.’
A distraught Phypers was seen consoling his ‘terrified and shaken up’ mom after Richards’ visit – which marks the latest explosive chapter in the pair’s acrimonious divorce.
In California, victims named as the ‘protected person’ in a restraining order will not get into trouble for contacting the person against whom the order was taken out.
However, the person who is restrained by the order may use it as evidence to dismiss the order in future court proceedings.
Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Denise Richards for comment and has yet to hear back.
After Aaron filed divorce paperwork on July 7, Denise hit back a week later with a request for a temporary restraining order (which she was granted) that included a laundry list of domestic abuse allegations — all of which her husband has denied.
Her estranged husband has since denied all allegations of abuse, while a source close to Phypers told the Daily Mail that her black eye was actually the result of a drunken fall.

He said he is waiting for an upcoming August court hearing in which a judge will decide if the order is lifted, and until then, he is banned from going near his estranged wife and their adopted daughter Eloise, 14, whom he says he adores and misses terribly.
It comes days after Phypers alleged that she has been having a months-long affair with a former special forces soldier named Rudy Reyes.
He claimed in a detailed letter to ‘family and close friends’ that Reyes has showered her with X-rated photos and videos, including a graphic clip that shows him naked and pleasuring himself.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, the Wild Things actress’ outraged husband claimed he caught wind of his wife’s alleged affair in April.
He said she had promised to break it off, only for him to catch her lying about another hook-up with 53-year-old Rudy that took place at a Hilton Garden Inn in Burbank, California, the following month.
He claimed his discovery of the May tryst then led to an explosive argument over the July 4th holiday weekend, during which she smashed his phone.
Phypers was the founder of the Malibu wellness center, Q360 Club (also known as Quantum 360), until he chose to shut it down last year, on October 1, 2024.
According to his petition for divorce, filed on July 7, he has not made any income since.
Richards, allegedly makes $250,000 per month from being on OnlyFans, TV shows, having brand deals and doing appearances, he noted in the income and expense declaration obtained by the Daily Mail.
He’s requesting spousal support since he alleges his monthly expenses total $105,000, and is demanding he and Richards split 50 percent of their production company, Smoke & Mirrors Entertainment.
