Denise Richards has headed back to court to ask a judge not to grant her ex-husband Aaron Phypers access to half of her OnlyFans wealth.
Amid their contentious divorce battle, the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star declared the last year to be "one of the most painful years" of her life, but explained that she's "finally starting to feel like" herself again.
Denise Richards and her ex-husband also made headlines last month when a judge ordered their eviction from their California home for failing to respond to a lawsuit by their landlord.
Denise Richards Wants A Judge To Stop Aaron Phypers From Taking Half Of Her OnlyFans Wealth
According to TMZ, Denise Richards has reportedly gone back to court, seeking for a judge to block her ex-husband Aaron Phypers from getting his hands on her lucrative OnlyFans earnings.
The report follows a recent legal document Phypers filed, where he alleged that she makes between $200,000 and $300,000 every month on the platform, asking that the judge grant him a portion of it.
However, the model argues that he is not even qualified for it because he did not file an updated income and expense declaration, adding that he missed a deadline for it.
Richards and Phypers are going through a very contentious divorce, but the latter has made his financial challenges a major bone of contention in their case.
The Former Couple Has Made Several Accusations Against Each Other
Richards and Phypers' financial tug-of-war is just the latest standoff that has ensued between them since Phypers filed for divorce in July 2025.
At the time, she accused him of multiple instances of physical abuse and got a temporary restraining order against him.
According to People Magazine, Phypers denied her allegations, calling them "completely false and deeply hurtful."
About the same time, she accused him of violating her restraining order and pressed him to return her laptop, as well as refrain from revealing any information contained in it.
On his part, he accused Richards of being unfaithful with another man, and also claimed she scratched him and smashed his phone.
He also alleged that she was addicted to Vicodin in a letter to their friends, saying the actress needs "intervention."
"Some of you know this has been an issue for over 20 years. She's no longer eating real meals, and I've witnessed her pass out from substances — putting herself and others in danger, including while driving with our daughter," he said, referring to their 14-year-old child, Eloise.
Denise Richards' Attorney Denied Her Estranged Husband's Allegations
However, her divorce attorney Brett Berman denied the claims in a statement shared with People Magazine, adding that Phypers was the one harassing her.
"In addition to the repeated abuse perpetrated by Mr. Phypers against Ms. Richards throughout the parties' marriage, Mr. Phypers has continued to harass Ms. Richards since being served with the Temporary Restraining Order by, among other things, disseminating private information from Ms. Richards' cell phone and laptop, which he stole," the statement read in part. "These actions continue to disturb Ms. Richards' peace."
Meanwhile, the former couple were served a lawsuit by their landlord, John Karan, in November after failing to pay over $84,000 in rent.
They both failed to honor the suit, leading the court to award exclusive possession of the home to the landlord.
The Actress Said 2025 Was 'One Of The Most Painful Years' Of Her Life
All of these and more have left Richards drained, and she admitted 2025 was "one of the most painful years" of her life.
In a post shared to Instagram on New Year's Day, she addressed the challenges she'd faced in recent times, as she shared a photo of herself looking at the sunset.
"Looking back at all the photos & videos I have of 2025, it feels like I'm looking at two different people & lived two different lives," she began her lengthy post, per People Magazine.
"Seeing a lot of your posts, many of you felt the same way. I will never forget this year, one of the most painful years I've lived. The year of the snake. A year of shedding, literally thanks to @drbentalei," she quipped, referencing a cosmetic procedure. "A year of letting go, truths being exposed."
Denise Richards Says She Is 'Grateful For The Clarity'
Regardless of the situation, the actress further noted in her post that she was "grateful for the clarity."
Richards stated that she "couldn't have gotten through this year if it weren't for my family, old & new friends, this community, those of you I work with, & @drbentalei & @robertcohenmd, who truly did so much for me."
"I did have a lot of blessed, happy moments in 2025 & especially the last couple months, I'm finally starting to feel like me again, only better," the mom of three finished.
