Denise Richards is pursuing a permanent restraining order against her estranged husband Aaron Phypers, whom she testified on Tuesday has “almost killed” her “so many damn times.”
The former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, who is now on OnlyFans, informed the Los Angeles Superior Court that Phypers has inflicted “at least three concussions” on her during their relationship, as reported by People.
Some instances of the alleged abuse occurred shortly after Richards had undergone a tummy tuck and had her implants repaired, after which she claimed Phypers was “hitting me and jamming me into the toilet paper holder,” according to Us Weekly.
She alleged that at one point, while she was on the toilet, Phypers “smashed me on the top of my head with the palm of his hand while screaming at me repeatedly, ‘Give me your f—ing phone.’”
Richards said she was “disoriented” following her operation and was fearful that Phypers may “seriously injure” her, so she handed over her phone.
The turbulent seven-year marriage — during which Richards stated Phypers “would often threaten to throw [her] through the windows and off balconies” of hotels — supposedly reached a turning point on July 4 of this year, when they officially parted ways, as mentioned in divorce filings.
At that time, Richards alleged that Phypers “got very angry and volatile” and reportedly struck her on the ear, where she “still had stitches” following a recent facelift.
In mid-July, the “Wild Things” actress was granted a temporary restraining order against Phypers, following claims that he would frequently choke her, slap her in the face, squeeze her head with both heads and slam her head into the bathroom towel rack.
Phypers, a “frequency medicine” practitioner, has denied Richards’ abuse accusations, which he claims were manufactured to distract from her alleged infidelity.
His lawyer reminded Richards about her attempts to contact Phypers in the wake of the restraining order, though it prohibits him from speaking to her.
Richards said she knew Phypers was “supposed to stay 300 feet away” from her, but admitted to messaging and calling him to discuss a landlord coming to their former shared residence, Us reports.
