Exhausted Denise Richards Emerges After Nine-Hour Deposition Amid Divorce Drama
BOMBSHELL IN HOLLYWOOD: DENISE RICHARDS VS AARON PHYPERS' DIVORCE DRAMA HEATS UP!
The drama-filled divorce battle between actress Denise Richards and her estranged husband Aaron Phypers has taken a shocking turn, with both parties trading heated accusations in court. The latest development comes as Denise Richards appeared exhausted after a nine-hour long deposition at a law office in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
The Wild Things star, 54, was spotted leaving the building with a large black Louis Vuitton tote bag slung over her arm, looking like she's been through a war. Her usually polished image was nowhere to be seen as she wore blue denim overalls with a purple t-shirt underneath, paired with a light pink zip-up hoodie and a burgundy trucker hat. The actress kept comfortable in a pair of black sneakers, which seemed to be the only thing holding her together.
Meanwhile, Aaron Phypers, 53, was seen walking in Beverly Hills with his lawyer, looking every bit the confident man he claims to be. Wearing a dark plaid button-up and matching leather jacket, Phypers showed no signs of the turmoil that's been brewing in their marriage.
According to sources close to the case, Phypers has accused Richards of trying to cut him off from obtaining spousal support by filing for a domestic violence restraining order. In court documents obtained by TheScholarlyNote.com, Phypers stated that Richards' move is nothing more than a "ruse" to damage his efforts at getting the financial support he needs.
But it's not just about the money; this drama has been months in the making, with both parties trading blows. Phypers filed for divorce from Richards in July, citing "irreconcilable differences." But what really set off the fireworks was when Phypers claimed that Richards had been harassing him over finances, despite being the breadwinner.
In a bizarre twist, Phypers even accused Richards of tracking his movements by placing an AirTag tracker on his vehicle. He also alleged that she has physically attacked him and harassed him numerous times throughout their six-year marriage.
Richards' lawyer fired back at Phypers' claims, stating that he has continued to harass Richards since being served with the Temporary Restraining Order. The lawyer accused Phypers of stealing Richards' private information from her cell phone and laptop.
This isn't the first time the couple's drama has spilled into the public eye. In September, Richards made her first court appearance in their divorce case, where she was allowed to enter their shared Los Angeles County home to pick up some belongings – including her mom's personal property and the family dogs. Phypers, on the other hand, was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the residence.
The couple has three daughters together: Eloise, 14, whom Richards adopted before marrying Phypers; as well as Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, who are Richards' children with ex-husband Charlie Sheen.
As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is certain – this divorce battle is far from over. With both parties trading heated accusations, it's anyone's guess what will happen next in this Hollywood soap opera.
