Denise Richards Granted Restraining Order Against Estranged Husband for Alleged Abuse

Denise Richards has been granted a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, following accusations of severe domestic abuse throughout their nearly seven-year marriage. Richards alleges multiple violent incidents, including being choked, slammed into objects, and slapped, with photos submitted as evidence showing bruises and a black eye. She also claims Phypers threatened to kill both himself and her if she reported the abuse, and warned that she would 'disappear' if she called the police. Phypers has denied all allegations, stating the accusations are false and hurtful, and has requested privacy as they navigate personal matters. The restraining order requires Phypers to stay 100 yards away from Richards and her property until their next court hearing. The couple's divorce proceedings are underway, with Phypers filing for divorce citing irreconcilable differences and marking their separation date as July 4.
