Denise Richards Makes Shocking Testimony Move In Divorce Case

Denise Richards makes a move to involve extended family members in testimony!

The former reality star has put plans in motion to bring her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, and his mother into the witness dock and testify that he put his hands on her.

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers' divorce case has been super dramatic to say the least, with several allegations flying around and the couple calling out each other over practically everything.

Since the actress is about to convince the court to turn her temporary restraining order against Phypers into a permanent one, she has decided to cast her net wider. She has reportedly submitted her witness list and included her estranged husband and his mother's name.

Richards affirmed that Patricia Phypes will "testify regarding communications with [Denise] regarding abuse perpetrated on [Denise] by [Aaron]." She is projecting her estranged mother-in-law to spend an hour on the witness dock.

Richards wants to spend six hours testifying about the domestic violence she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband, with the alleged culprit spending four hours on the stand.

Per TMZ, sources close to Phypers stated that he is beyond ready to testify and lay all this back and forth with false accusations to rest. The insider noted that Richards' ex has nothing to hide in the hearing expected to be held following Monday.

As August prepared to wrap up, Richards made one last request to a judge, asking the court to help her get rid of Phypers and his family from their home in Calabasas.

As shared by The Blast, the former reality television star explained that they needed to leave the house for a few hours to collect their belongings, including their late mother's properties and the pets.

Her request came on the heels of the property's landlord calling her in July with an order that they leave the building by August. The reality TV alum stressed that her plea for an eviction was to ensure all her belongings were safely removed from the house before the landlord could take action. 

Before approaching the court for a solution, the actress had already visited their Calabasas home in mid-July to retrieve her dogs. The sudden nature of Richards' visit left Phypers in a state of panic, prompting him to call 911 for security.

According to sources, Richards' entry into the home was marked with a fiery exchange between her and her estranged husband's family. The claws came out, and the reality star would not stop screaming at her ex's family, while shoving fingers in their faces.

The TV personality's attorney clarified that Richards' decision to drop by at the home was out of deep concern for her dog's safety. The lawyer added that the former reality star did not go against any rule by dropping by at her estranged husband's house, as she had a valid reason to do so.

Like most love stories, Richards was convinced her marriage to Phypers was end endgame, especially following her split from Charlie Sheen after their first marriage.

The Blast noted that the actress explained in an Instagram post that experiencing her situation for the second time felt draining and exhausting. Richards tagged the situation as very sh-tty, noting that there is a lot of pretense behind the strong face she had been keeping.

However, she shared that she would not be able to go deep into the situation and break down details of her messy divorce, but the emotional support from the fans made things worthwhile.

Phypers and Richards got married in 2018, after exchanging for less than two days. They battled several challenges during their marriage, including allegations of an open marriage, which Phypers denied.

The frequency medicine practitioner picked a bone with his former wife over the adoption of their daughter, Eloise. Richards adopted Eloise in 2016, a few years before meeting Phypers, who then adopted her in 2019, a year after they got married.

He stated that she approached him to sign adoption papers for their daughter, but left them blank on her end. This means that Phypers may encounter problems in claiming Eloise as his legally adopted daughter.

The actress' estranged husband emphasized that the life he has built with Eloise for nearly a decade stands the risk of a complete separation due to Richards' decision. "This has caused immeasurable harm and demonstrates the imbalance Denise maintains in this matter," Phypers explained.
