Denise Richards’ ex Aaron Phypers arrested at courthouse for spousal abuse trial drama
Denise Richards’ former husband, Aaron Phypers, was recently apprehended at a Los Angeles courthouse. The arrest occurred during a spousal abuse trial on Friday, October 17, as reported by Fox News Digital.
Legal Proceedings Unfold
Richards and Phypers were involved in court proceedings last week as Richards sought a restraining order against him. A criminal complaint was officially submitted at the Van Nuys courthouse on October 15, accusing Phypers of several charges.
Details of the Charges
- Two counts of injuring a spouse or partner.
- Two counts of dissuading a witness through force or threat.
Documents indicate that three incidents reportedly occurred on January 17, 2022, while another took place on May 3, 2022.
Background of the Case
The couple’s contentious relationship came under scrutiny when Phypers initiated divorce proceedings in July. Alongside the divorce filing, Richards was granted a temporary restraining order amid claims of physical and emotional abuse.
Allegations and Denials
Richards has alleged that Phypers was responsible for causing her multiple concussions during their marriage. She further accused him of attempting to ruin her reputation post-divorce by stealing her laptop and leaking intimate content.
In response, Phypers refuted Richards’ claims. As relayed to People Magazine, he stated, “I absolutely deny the false allegations that I violated the restraining order or stole Denise’s laptop.” He argued that the allegations aimed to damage his reputation and divert from the truth.
