Denise Richards' Divorce Drama: Exposing Aaron Phypers' Lavish Spending!
Denise Richards' Six-Year Marriage to Aaron Phypers Explodes in a Firestorm of Fury and Drama
In a shocking turn of events, Denise Richards' six-year marriage to Aaron Phypers has imploded in a blaze of bitter recriminations, with both parties trading blows over money and living arrangements. The actress, known for her roles on "Wild Things" and "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things," has been blindsided by her estranged husband's decision to file for divorce and demand she cover his exorbitant living expenses - a whopping $105,000 per month.
According to sources close to the couple, Phypers, 52, wanted to hurt Denise, 54, by filing for divorce without warning her. And it seems he has succeeded in doing just that. "They're basically trying to hurt each other," revealed an insider. "Denise said the last thing she wants is another divorce, so he gave her a divorce."
The source continued, "Aaron wanted to hurt her and he has. Meanwhile, the last thing he wants is to be broke - so she's cutting off his cash flow." This shocking development comes after Phypers shut down his Malibu wellness center, Q360 Club, in October 2024, leaving him without a steady income.
Richards, who was previously married to actor Charlie Sheen, has been the primary breadwinner for their blended family. However, it appears that she is no longer willing to support her estranged husband's lavish lifestyle, which includes spending an astonishing $20,000 per month on clothes alone.
In his divorce papers, reviewed by thescholarlynote.com, Phypers admitted his income was a staggering "zero" but included a detailed list of his monthly expenses. These include:
- $18,000 on rent
- $5,000 on repairs
- $7,000 on childcare
- $10,000 on groceries
- $15,000 on eating out
- $8,000 on utilities
- $500 on his cell phone
- $5,000 on laundry and
- $15,000 on entertainment
He also claimed to spend $1,500 on auto expenses and asked to be awarded all his power tools and a 2018 motorcycle in the divorce. These demands are said to be a major sticking point in the negotiations.
Richards has yet to respond to the filing, but sources close to her say she is planning her revenge accordingly. "Denise has got a heart of gold and they're both forgiving people," revealed an insider. "That they fight is not new to anyone."
The couple's marriage has been on shaky ground for some time, with Denise admitting earlier this year that she was facing challenges in their relationship. In fact, during an episode of her reality show, she declared, "It's not easy being married to me, but this is it, I'm done. I'm never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I'm not gonna f** get divorced."
Despite the tensions between them, sources suggest that Denise and Aaron may still find a way to reconcile. "They still love each other," said an insider. "Denise has got a heart of gold and they're both forgiving people. That they fight is not new to anyone."
However, for now, it seems that Denise is determined to take control of her life and her finances. "She's p*ed off that he did [file for divorce]," revealed the source. And as the drama continues to unfold, only time will tell if this once-happy couple can find a way to put their differences aside and move forward.
In related news, Denise Richards has been making headlines in recent months due to her tumultuous marriage and her controversial reality show, "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things." The series was canceled by Bravo after just one season following allegations of on-set drama and infighting.
