In a dramatic twist to a Hollywood divorce saga, Aaron Phypers has publicly accused his ex-wife, actress Denise Richards, of orchestrating a web of lies about domestic abuse for financial gain. The stunning allegations are contained within new legal filings obtained by the Daily Mail.
Phypers, who was married to the former Bond girl for just four years, has vehemently denied all claims of misconduct. His legal team asserts that Richards' accusations are a "strategic fabrication" designed to manipulate the court system and secure a more favourable spousal support agreement following their 2018 separation.
A Marriage Unraveled
The couple's relationship, which began in 2017 after Richards' high-profile split from Charlie Sheen, was initially portrayed as a whirlwind romance. However, the new documents paint a picture of a union that deteriorated rapidly, culminating in a bitter and contentious legal battle.
Phypers' filing goes on the offensive, suggesting that Richards' allegations are not only false but are a calculated attempt to tarnish his reputation and influence the court's decision on ongoing financial matters.
The Financial Stakes
At the heart of the dispute is the issue of spousal support. With Richards having a significantly higher net worth and earning potential from her long-standing acting career, Phypers is seeking a substantial settlement. His lawyers argue that the abuse claims are a direct response to his legitimate financial claims, intended to portray him in a negative light and sway judicial opinion.
The court is now tasked with untangling fact from fiction in a case that highlights the intensely personal and often ugly nature of celebrity divorces. No further court dates have been announced publicly as both parties prepare their evidence.
