In a recent development that has captured widespread attention, Denise Richards’ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, finds himself facing serious legal troubles. The former couple, once known for their appearances on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” is now embroiled in a legal battle over a restraining order that Denise has filed against Aaron.

On October 17, Aaron was arrested in a Los Angeles courtroom amid ongoing proceedings related to this restraining order. Denise is seeking to have a temporary restraining order made permanent, a request that underscores the gravity of the situation. During the hearing, Aaron was taken into custody on charges related to spousal abuse.

Reports from Page Six reveal that Aaron’s arrest stemmed from spousal abuse allegations, while TMZ has confirmed there was an outstanding warrant against him for felony domestic violence. The legal saga continues to unfold, bringing both personal and public challenges to the forefront for the former couple.

According to Page Six, Aaron was handcuffed inside a Los Angeles courtroom and then detained on spousal abuse charges.

TMZ is also confirming that Aaron had an outstanding warrant related to felony domestic violence accusations made by Denise.

If you recall, Denise accused Aaron of giving her a black eye (which she shared photos of) as well as 3 concussions during their court battle this month. Even more, Aaron’s own cousin took the stand and testified that they saw Aaron give Denise a black eye and threaten to kill her.

Aaron’s attorney confirmed his arrest to TMZ but claimed Aaron was not aware of his outstanding warrant while also accusing Denise and her lawyers of “setting him up.”

Cameras did catch Denise leaving the courthouse although she did not respond to questions. We will update this story with any updates as it breaks. 

The divorce battle between Aaron and Denise has been pretty contentious since the day Aaron filed for divorce back in July. This was followed by Denise’s domestic violence accusations and Aaron then leaking texts and photos of her which he claims proved she had an affair. 

Through all the legal drama, Denise was spotted filming for the RHOBH although her role on the upcoming season is unknown.
