Aaron Phypers Alleges Denise Richards Affair With Special Forces Co-Star

Aaron Phypers, estranged husband of Denise Richards, has publicly accused her of having an ongoing affair with Rudy Reyes, a former U.S. Marine and instructor on the reality show Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, which Denise participated in. Phypers alleges he discovered over 100 explicit text messages, photos, and videos between Richards and Reyes, including plans to meet secretly, which he confronted her about in April and again on July 4, leading to their separation and his subsequent divorce filing. Alongside the affair claims, Phypers also accused Richards of struggling with a serious Vicodin addiction, mixing the medication with alcohol, and leading a chaotic lifestyle with multiple pets and a reportedly unclean home. Richards has denied the affair and abuse allegations, obtaining a temporary restraining order against Phypers and accusing him of harassment and disseminating private information. The dispute has escalated into a public battle with conflicting accusations, highlighting a tumultuous end to their nine-year relationship.
