Denise Richards Accuses Estranged Husband of Restraining Order Violation, Nude Photo Theft

Denise Richards has accused her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, of violating a temporary restraining order by stealing her laptop and multiple phones and leaking private photos and text messages, including nude photographs, to the media. Richards filed a court motion demanding the immediate return of her devices and all stolen content, as well as an injunction to prevent further dissemination of her private materials. Phypers allegedly admitted during an interview to going through Richards' laptop and possessing evidence of an alleged affair and abuse claims, which Richards' attorney denies, calling the allegations false and accusing Phypers of weaponizing private information. Despite the restraining order granted in mid-July, Richards claims Phypers has repeatedly violated it by sharing her private information with various media outlets. Phypers disputes the theft allegations, asserting that nothing was stolen and that Richards assaulted him and took his phone without consent. The legal battle reflects escalating tensions amid their bitter divorce, with Richards seeking court intervention to protect her privacy and possessions.
