Denise Richards has opened up about the terrifying abuse she allegedly endured at the hands of her estranged husband Aaron Phypers in her recent court documents. The shocking details were revealed in the temporary restraining order paperwork obtained by RadarOnline.com.
In the exclusive documents, Richards, 54, accused Phypers, 51, of committing acts of physical violence and making threatening statements towards her. She claimed that Phypers owns eight unregistered firearms and had even threatened to kill her, stating that the police would never be able to stop him.
The allegations surfaced after Richards was granted a restraining order against Phypers, accompanied by photos that depicted the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star with a severely bruised eye following an alleged assault by her estranged husband.
According to Richards, the horrifying incidents unfolded on July 5 when Phypers showed up at her townhouse and began yelling at her, using derogatory language towards her. She recounted how Phypers had forcefully grabbed her arms, pushed her to the ground, and even stole her laptop to send out private messages without her consent. Richards claimed that Phypers had threatened her with harm if she were to involve the authorities.
In a particularly disturbing account, Richards described how Phypers had violently assaulted her while she was using the bathroom, hitting her on the head and demanding her phone. She also detailed an incident where Phypers had grabbed her by the hair and slammed her to the ground, insisting on accompanying her on a work trip against her wishes.
Richards further alleged that Phypers had accessed her personal electronic devices without permission, downloading her private messages and transferring them to his own computer. She expressed concerns about Phypers’ unstable behavior and his possession of body armor and unregistered firearms, prompting her to seek legal protection.
In her request for the restraining order, Richards asked for the return of her belongings, including laptops and electronic devices, and requested that Phypers be prohibited from using or disclosing any of her private information. She also sought permission to record phone calls and mandated that Phypers attend a batterer intervention program.
The harrowing details shared by Richards shed light on the dark and troubling dynamics of her relationship with Phypers. The actress’s bravery in coming forward with her story serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking help and standing up against domestic abuse.
