Aaron Phypers Denies Abuse Claims from Estranged Wife Denise Richards
URGENT UPDATE: Aaron Phypers, the estranged husband of actress Denise Richards, has publicly denied her recent allegations of abuse, just before his court appearance this week. Speaking with reporters on October 8, 2023, Phypers dismissed the claims as “bulls**t,” emphasizing that the accusations are entirely false.
In a heated courtroom exchange, Richards, 54, testified on October 7, 2023, at the Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that Phypers, 53, caused her “at least three concussions” during their marriage. She detailed harrowing incidents from 2022 to 2025, claiming Phypers “slammed [her] up against the concrete wall” and “squeezed [her] head so hard” she feared for her life. Disturbingly, she recounted an occasion when he “smashed [her] on the top of [her] head” while demanding her phone.
Adding weight to her allegations, her cousin, Kathleen McAllister, testified that she witnessed Phypers hit Richards in January 2022, resulting in a visible black eye. Despite these serious claims, Phypers has resolutely rejected all allegations, stating in court documents, “I have not abused her and will not abuse her.”
In a statement to Page Six, a representative for Phypers asserted, “Aaron will be vindicated when the truth comes out. The Phypers family has been ruined by Denise’s lies.” He further accused Richards of employing “egregious bullying tactics” aimed at suffocating the truth with a barrage of legal maneuvers.
The couple, who married in 2018 and separated in July 2025, are locked in an ongoing legal battle. Richards is seeking to make her temporary restraining order permanent, which would mandate that Phypers stay at least 100 yards away for five years.
As this legal saga unfolds, the public is left to ponder the implications of such serious allegations on both their lives. The case continues to develop, and both parties are expected to face off in court as the truth seeks to emerge from the shadows of these explosive claims.
