Denise Richards Reportedly Scared Estranged Husband's Parents According To 911 Audio

Denise Richards left a lasting mark on the hearts of Aaron Phypers' parents, but for the wrong reasons.

The actress's unannounced visit to the frequency medicine practitioner's house to pick up a pet amid an active restraining order did not go down well with his parents.

Denise Richards won a temporary restraining order against Aaron Phypers in July after she accused him of domestic abuse during their marriage. 

The dispatcher who handled Phypers' emergency call for help confirmed that he was told by the informant (Phypers) that his ex-wife broke into his home. 

"Informant left informant's ex-wife's home with his parents. Informant no longer in the area and fears for his parents," the dispatch conveyed in the short clip.

Phypers reportedly lived in the home invaded by Richards with his parents and brother, and they were all startled by Richards' arrival despite her restraining order against Phypers. As reported by TMZ, an agitated Richards at the door was finally let in by Phypers' parents to pick up the dog as claimed.

However, when she got into the home, she got confrontational with the parents by screaming at them, shoving her fingers in their faces, and even getting into a heated exchange with her ex-brother-in-law.

After receiving the Sunday call and arriving at the home authorities stated that there was no evidence that Richards committed any crime. The TV star's attorney also defended her actions by showing up at her ex's home despite serving him a TRO amid their messy divorce.

As seen on PEOPLE, Richards' attorney, Brett Berman, emphasized that his client did not flout any rules by going to the home. He stressed that the visit was necessary after his client learned that her ex had gotten rid of one of their two dogs "without her knowledge or permission."

An insider then clarified that Richards' account of events is skewed as Phypers opted to exit the house through a side door after Richards continually banged the main entrance door. Phypers also slammed his ex-wife's attorney for trying to protect the actress by masking the truth.

Having the title of attorney or being a celebrity does not put you above the law. It does not give you the right to humiliate others for the sake of your interests. Both of these actions have been readily apparent here in the last couple of weeks," the frequency medicine expert concluded in the statement.

In her temporary restraining order filing, the star shared that her estranged husband frequently displayed signs of physical and verbal abuse towards her. 

Richards identified instances of her ex squeezing her head, her arms, and even slapping her on the face. She also accused him of threatening to kill her and break her jaw, after which he would promise to change and get help, but to no avail. 

Richards added that despite all the promises, he never made a move to get help, and the cycle continued, including their last fight, where he hurled hurtful words at her and came too close to her face.

She attached images of her swollen face alongside her petition, adding that when she told him she would call the police the day after July 4, Phypers threatened not to go down without a fight. 

The actor, however, debunked these claims, reiterating that while their marriage had challenges, abuse was never part of their struggles.

Phypers informed the court that their official day of separation was the 4th of July, and the marriage ended due to irreconcilable differences. But for Denise, the day was a terrible experience, which involved Phypers' dad.

According to The Daily Mail, she noted that she moved out of their shared home into a studio townhouse in 2023 following tensions in their marriage. She then informed Phypers on July 4, 2025, that his family needed to move out of the family home, which pissed off her ex-husband.

She noted that the actor became verbally violent and even grabbed her aggressively despite knowing that she was recovering from a critical surgery.

Richards added that he soon returned with his father, Stephen Phypers, who joined him in calling her unprintable names and threatening to expose the private contents of her phone to the media.

Her estranged husband then reportedly ran off with her laptop purse, which contained important information like her credit card and passport.

"I followed Aaron out to his car but could not catch him. I went to my daughter's house for safety because I could not go to a hotel — Aaron had my purse with all forms of payment," Richards added.

The 54-year-old dashed to the courthouse with a plea that the judge order her estranged husband to return all the items he took from her, including her cellphones, laptop, and recordings.

She explained that they all contained sensitive information that would significantly affect her image should they get into the hands of the media. Richards added that some of her explicit photos, including a picture of her breasts and bare buttocks already made their way to a media outlet.

However, Richards noted that Phypers' unrestricted access to this sensitive media content is a violation of the temporary restraining order, and the act of sharing nude photographs is in itself a criminal act.

The TV star emphasized that the action already distressed her, and the court's cautioning her ex-husband against a plan he allegedly already commenced would offer her comfort. She also sought a return of all devices taken from her possession by Phypers.
