Denise Richards Seen With Black Eye After Expert Predicts Disaster For Aaron Phypers

The divorce drama between Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers skyrockets after the entertainer was spotted with what appeared to be a black eye.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum has been making waves for her second divorce amid scathing allegations. She recently butted heads with her ex's family despite having a restraining order that prohibited contact.

Denise Richards' shocking new appearance came days after the heated showdown with Aaron Phypers' family, where she was accused of causing a disturbance. As for the concerning bruises on her face, sources claimed it wasn't what it appeared to be.

According to new reports, Richards was spotted in Calabasas on Tuesday with a large dark bruising on her eye. Another dark spot was below her chin, appearing to be injuries that could have been sustained from a fight.

The shocking marks on Richards' face sparked concerns about her well-being, given the domestic violence allegations she leveled against her estranged husband. She also looked sullen on her stroll, attempting to shield her face with a cap while holding a bottle of Mountain Valley Spring Water.

Despite her frail appearance, sources told The Daily Mail there was no reason to be worried about Richards. They claimed the black eye wasn't real, noting it was "just lighting and shadow."

Additionally, they explained that the speculated bruises might come from the entertainer's recent microneedling and PRP injection.

Richards' latest public sighting sparked concern because she allegedly got into a heated altercation with her estranged husband's family. The Blast covered the story, reporting that Phypers called dispatch, fearing for his parents' safety.

Phypers, his father, mother, and brother have been residing in the Calabasas home owned by Richards for years. They were reportedly startled by her sudden appearance, given the restraining order, which led to Phypers leaving the house through a side door.

His terrified parents were forced to let Richards in as she kept banging on the front door, claiming she was there to retrieve her dog. However, when she got into the home, she allegedly turned aggressive and started screaming at Phypers' parents, shoving her fingers in their faces, before attacking his brother.

Following the alleged incident, authorities arrived to resolve the fight but determined there was no damage and no one was arrested. Richards' attorney, Brett Berman, defended her behavior, arguing that she visited the home because one of their two dogs was put down "without her knowledge or permission."

Berman also claimed that Richards did not break the temporary restraining order agreement by visiting Phypers' home. Meanwhile, her estranged husband vehemently called out the legal rep for painting a different picture from 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," Phypers argued in a statement.

Attorney Amy Lass, founding partner of Lass Law, shared her thoughts on the divorce drama between Richards and Phypers in a recent interview with The Blast. "This is not your average Hollywood split," she declared, adding:

"With the abuse allegations and massive income disparity, the courts will be looking very closely at who gets what and who's telling the truth."

The legal expert predicted Phypers could lose his right to spousal support if the court found him guilty of abusing his estranged wife. "Domestic abuse is a game-changer in California family law," Lass explained, stressing that the law "doesn't reward bad behavior."

Lass's final verdict on the case was that dark times might be ahead for Phypers. "[Richards] has the income, the public sympathy, and a documented pattern of abuse claims. Unless Aaron can disprove everything, he's walking away with little more than a toolbox and a bad reputation," she declared.

The legal expert's comments on the case came days after The Blast shared that Richards wasn't letting the divorce drama stop her from thriving. She debuted a new haircut in a joint Instagram post with hairstylist Chris McMillan, who seemingly sided with her.

The hair guru, famous for styling stars like Jennifer Aniston, raved about his love and respect for Richards. "I've known Denise 30 years now and [she] is the kindest, sweetest, most loving human ever. All we do is LAUGH. Makes my day when I see her every time," McMillan wrote.
