DENISE RICHARDS' EX-HUSBAND AARON PHYMPERS CAUGHT IN DRAMA-LADEN DIVORCE BATTLE

In a shocking turn of events, Aaron Phypers, the ex-husband of actress Denise Richards, was arrested outside a Los Angeles courthouse on Friday amidst their ongoing divorce battle. The 53-year-old was taken into custody by L.A. County Sheriff's deputies and swiftly bonded out of jail with a hefty $200,000 bail just hours later.

Phypers' lawyer, Michael Finley, revealed to thescholarlynote.com that his client is being unfairly targeted in the ongoing domestic violence case against him. "I have not seen the criminal complaint yet, however, based upon the little that I have been told, it appears to be the same allegations we're already fighting, and I think we’re proving it all to be false," Finley stated confidently.

However, a lawyer for Richards contradicted Phypers' claims, telling Us Weekly that he was arrested for "spousal abuse." This latest development is just another chapter in the tumultuous divorce battle between the estranged couple. Earlier this month, Richards claimed that Phypers had given her three concussions during their marriage and even shared a photo of herself with a black eye on social media.

The drama began to unfold when Phypers filed for divorce from Richards in July, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The actress was granted a temporary restraining order just days after Phypers filed for divorce, and she has since made it clear that she wants the order to be permanent.

But what's really going on behind closed doors? According to insiders, Richards and Phypers' marriage was far from perfect. In fact, one source close to the couple revealed that Phypers had discovered Richards having a months-long affair with a former special forces soldier named Rudy Reyes at the end of their relationship.

Phypers alleged that he caught wind of his wife's alleged infidelity in April and even claimed that Reyes had showered her with X-rated photos and videos. In a shocking letter to "family and close friends," Phypers revealed that he was devastated by his wife's alleged cheating and felt betrayed.

Richards, on the other hand, has maintained that she is the victim in this situation and that Phypers is just trying to smear her reputation. But with new evidence emerging every day, it seems like the truth may finally come to light.

In a bizarre twist, Phypers even requested half of Richards' earnings from OnlyFans, claiming that he had taken the photos she uploaded to the site. He alleged that he was in financial trouble and needed money to pay rent and other bills. But sources close to Richards revealed that she is furious with Phypers' request and has vowed to fight it every step of the way.

As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: this divorce battle is far from over. With both sides throwing allegations back and forth, it's anyone's guess what will happen next. But one thing's for sure – we'll be watching with bated breath as this juicy saga plays out in the headlines.

In a recent interview with thescholarlynote.com, Richards spoke candidly about her marriage to Phypers and how it compares to her previous union with Charlie Sheen. "Things were bad with Charlie and I, but he never hit below the belt," she revealed, adding that her time with Phypers was even more tumultuous.

Richards also claimed that Phypers gave her three concussions during their marriage, including one incident at a Chicago hotel in April 2025 where he allegedly squeezed her head so hard it "felt like he was crushing my skull." But Phypers' lawyer maintained that Richards is simply trying to smear his client's reputation.

As the drama continues to unfold, one thing's for sure – this divorce battle is going to be a wild ride. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy saga!
