Denise Richards accuses Aaron Phypers of domestic violence

The Wild Things actress has been granted a temporary restraining order against her husband.

According to a report by People, I, Denise Richards, have spoken out about allegations of domestic violence against my estranged husband, Aaron Phypers. In a court filing, I’ve described the physical abuse I experienced, stating that he often choked me. Moreover, I claimed that he would forcefully grip my head, arms, and viciously slap me on my face and head. Additionally, I asserted that he threatened to take my life and violently slammed my head into our bathroom towel rack.

Additionally, Richards asserted that the businessman frequently made threats towards her, specifically stating he’d “often warn he would shatter her jaw.” Yet, she emphasized that he would “frequently weep, plead for her to stay, and vow to seek help — all of which were empty promises and never came to fruition.

According to the court records, Richards additionally included photos of her inflamed facial area and gave extensive accounts of certain aggressive incidents between them. She claimed that on the Fourth of July, Phypers approached her face, barely missing it, and used harsh language towards her.

Furthermore, the actress from Blue Mountain State stated that she had warned she’d contact the authorities the following day. Contrarily, it was claimed that Phypers responded by stating, “I’d welcome the police taking me away; if they attempt, I’ll destroy everything.

The Canadian businessman responded to the allegations via an official statement.

In his own words, Aaron Phypers firmly refuted the allegations, asserting, “I want to make this absolutely clear: I have never caused physical or emotional harm to Denise, or any other person.
