Aaron Phypers Denies Denise Richards' Abuse Claims
Actor Aaron Phypers has denied allegations that he physically and emotionally abused his ex-wife, Denise Richards. In a statement to People magazine, Phypers insisted that the claims are "not true" and that he has the "real evidence" to back up his denial.
"I want to address recent rumors and speculation that have surfaced regarding my relationship with my wife, Denise Richards," Phypers said in the statement. "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone. These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful."
Richards has been granted a temporary restraining order against Phypers, alleging that he threatened to kill her on multiple occasions. The documents also claim that Phypers would frequently choke her, violently slap her in the face, and threaten to hack into her laptop and phone.
In one incident, Richards claims that Phypers became enraged when she told him he was no longer allowed at their family home. She alleges that he screamed at her, called her degrading names, and threatened to kill himself if she reported him to the police.
Richards also claims that Phypers has caused her multiple concussions and has left her with a bruise on her arm. She states that she was afraid to report Phypers to the police or file for a restraining order because he has repeatedly threatened to kill himself if she does so.
"I was afraid that Aaron may kill me," Richards wrote in the court documents. "He said, 'Give me your f**king phone.' I grabbed my phone and told him I was calling 911. He said, 'I would like to see the cops take me away, I will blow everything up if they try.'"
Richards claims that Phypers returned the next day with his father and began screaming in her face, even hitting her hat off her head. She states that she was scared, terrified, and fearful for her life.
The allegations against Phypers come after Richards filed for a divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." The divorce filing also claimed that Phypers had caused Richards multiple physical and emotional injuries during their marriage.
