Aaron Phypers Denies Allegations Following Arrest, Claims Denise Richards Made False Accusations

In a new development in the ongoing legal battle between Aaron Phypers and his estranged wife Denise Richards, Phypers has publicly denied allegations of domestic violence, claiming that Richards fabricated accusations that led to his recent arrest.

The couple, who married in 2018, has been making headlines following Phypers’ arrest on domestic violence charges earlier this month. According to court documents filed Tuesday, Phypers maintains that Richards made “demonstrably false accusations” against him, which he claims were strategically timed to damage his reputation.

“These allegations are completely unfounded,” said Phypers’ attorney in a statement to the press. “My client has cooperated fully with authorities and is confident that the legal process will vindicate him.”

The arrest occurred after police responded to a disturbance call at the couple’s Malibu residence. Richards allegedly told officers that Phypers had become physically threatening during an argument over household matters. Following standard protocol in domestic violence calls, officers took Phypers into custody based on Richards’ statement and visible distress.

Richards, 53, a former Bond girl and star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” has been granted a temporary restraining order against Phypers, requiring him to remain at least 100 yards away from her and their shared residence. The actress has not publicly commented on the specifics of the incident, with her representatives stating only that “Denise’s primary concern is the safety and wellbeing of her family.”

This incident marks a dramatic turn in the couple’s relationship, which had previously appeared solid despite public scrutiny. The pair had frequently defended their marriage on social media and in interviews, with Richards often praising Phypers for his role as a stepfather to her three daughters, including two from her previous marriage to actor Charlie Sheen.

Industry observers note that high-profile domestic disputes often create lasting career repercussions, regardless of legal outcomes. Entertainment analyst Melissa Jenkins explains: “In today’s climate, even allegations can significantly impact someone’s professional opportunities, especially in the entertainment industry where public perception is everything.”

The legal proceedings come at a particularly complicated time for Richards, who recently announced her return to television with a new dramatic series set to begin production next month. Sources close to the production indicate that scheduling adjustments may be necessary to accommodate court appearances and the personal stress of the situation.

Friends of the couple have expressed shock at the developments. “They always seemed like they had such a strong bond,” said one insider who requested anonymity. “Aaron was always incredibly supportive of Denise’s career and her commitments to her children.”

Phypers, a holistic health practitioner who operates a frequency medicine center in Malibu, has filed a countermotion seeking to lift the restraining order, arguing that it prevents him from accessing his medical practice, which operates out of a building on their shared property.

Domestic violence advocacy groups have cautioned against rushing to judgment in either direction. “These situations are often complex and emotionally charged,” said Dr. Elena Winters of the Family Safety Coalition. “The legal system must be allowed to carefully examine the evidence while protecting all parties involved.”

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office has confirmed that they are reviewing the case but have not yet made a decision on whether to file formal charges against Phypers. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next week.

The couple’s representatives have confirmed that, regardless of the legal outcome, both parties are committed to resolving matters in a way that minimizes impact on their family, particularly Richards’ youngest daughter whom they have raised together since their marriage.
