Former James Bond star Denise Richards has been granted a restraining order against her ex-husband, Aaron Phypers, as their divorce proceedings take a dramatic turn. The legal measure underscores the escalating tensions between the former couple.
Legal Escalation in High-Profile Split
The restraining order, approved by a Los Angeles court, restricts Phypers from contacting Richards or approaching her within a specified distance. Sources close to the actress suggest the decision follows alleged "harassing behaviour" from Phypers post-divorce.
A Tumultuous Relationship
Richards, known for her roles in Wild Things and The World Is Not Enough, married Phypers in 2018 after her high-profile divorce from actor Charlie Sheen. The couple’s separation in 2022 was reportedly fraught with disputes over financial and personal matters.
"Denise felt this was necessary for her safety and peace of mind," an insider revealed. "The divorce has been anything but amicable."
Celebrity Divorces Under the Spotlight
Richards’ legal move adds to a growing list of celebrity splits that have turned contentious. Fans of the actress have expressed support on social media, with many praising her for taking legal action to protect herself.
Neither Richards nor Phypers has publicly commented on the restraining order. However, court documents indicate that further hearings may be scheduled to address ongoing disputes.
