EXPLOSIVE DIVORCE COURT FILING EXPOSES TOXIC MARRIAGE BETWEEN DENISE RICHARDS AND AARON PHYPERS

The drama is getting juicier by the minute! Denise Richards' estranged husband Aaron Phypers has dropped a bombshell court filing, revealing the toxic marriage that ultimately led to their divorce. And now, a source close to the couple is spilling all the tea on what really went down behind closed doors.

According to insiders, the former power couple was stuck in a cycle of constant fighting, with Phypers allegedly making it clear he won't go quietly into the night. "All they were doing was fighting. It was very toxic," a source told The Scholarly Note.com. Despite listing their separation as July 4th, things came to a head over the weekend when the couple got into a blowout fight that was basically the last straw.

The 52-year-old disclosed that his wife (pictured) is allegedly earning $250,000 per month from being on OnlyFans, TV shows, having brand deals and doing appearances

Richards is both devastated and relieved at the same time, with sources claiming she's mentally exhausted from all the drama. "She's glad it's over, but she's not looking forward to the divorce because he won't go quietly," our insider revealed. It seems Phypers has made it clear that he intends to make things difficult for Richards, who's now gearing up for a battle.

But before we dive into the juicy details of their marital woes, let's take a step back and look at how they got here. For starters, Phypers' wellness center, Q360 Club (also known as Quantum 360), has been a major source of contention between the couple. Sources close to the business claim it was a "liability" from the get-go, with board members dropping off one by one after just a week.

It seems Phypers had big plans for his wellness center, registering it as a charity and stating its mission was to research, educate, and implement new innovative technologies for optimal health and wellness. However, things took a turn when the IRS revoked their tax-exempt status in March 2022 due to failure to file required Form 990 series returns.

A source told the Daily Mail that the couple's marriage was 'toxic' and 'all they were doing was fighting.' They noted there was a blowout fight that took place during the 4th of July weekend

But that's not all - Phypers' business has been named in numerous lawsuits and tax filings in California, specifically from 2020 to 2021. There are still two ongoing cases, including one brought by the Creditors Adjustment Bureau, which claims he owes them $228,901.45 for a loan of $190,000.

And then there's the lawsuit brought by Rupert Perry, on behalf of his late wife Elina Katsioula-Beall, who was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer and sought treatment at Quantum 360. Phypers allegedly promised her a 98% success rate for the stem cell therapy, but after undergoing the treatment, an MRI showed that her tumors had grown by 25%. The couple requested a refund of $63,000, which Phypers has yet to deliver.

As if all this drama wasn't enough, sources claim Richards makes a whopping $250,000 per month from various ventures, including OnlyFans, TV shows, brand deals, and appearances. Meanwhile, Phypers is struggling to make ends meet, with monthly expenses totaling $105,000.

A source told the Daily Mail, 'Aaron was hoping that their reality show [Wild Things] was going to catapult him to reality stardom,' but that wasn't the case

With the divorce proceedings underway, it's clear that things are about to get messy. But one thing's for sure - we can't wait to see what juicy secrets come out in court! Stay tuned for more updates on this explosive celebrity divorce.
