Denise Richards' Estranged Spouse Aaron Phypers Released on Bond After Arrest for Spousal Abuse

Denise Richards' estranged spouse, Aaron Phypers, has been released on bond following his arrest for spousal abuse. Phypers, 53, was released on Friday after posting a $200,000 bond. He had been arrested at a Los Angeles courthouse where he was testifying in a hearing related to Richards' request for a restraining order against him. Phypers and his attorney appeared confused about the arrest, and Richards remained calm during the incident.

Richards and Phypers got married in 2018 but Phypers filed for divorce in July after allegations of abuse surfaced. Richards claimed that Phypers had been physically and emotionally abusive throughout their relationship, including violent acts like choking, slapping, and threatening to kill her. Phypers denied these accusations, stating that they were false and hurtful. Both parties testified in court, and the hearing has been extended to November 7 due to Phypers' arrest.

Richards, known for her roles in "Wild Things" and her marriage to Charlie Sheen, has three daughters. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please seek help from the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.
