Denise Richards is reportedly involved in a months-long affair with a former special forces member who has sent her explicit photos and videos, including a graphic video of himself.
In an exclusive chat with DailyMail.com, Denise’s angry husband Aaron Phypers revealed he found out about his wife’s alleged affair in April, and she assured him she would end it. However, he later discovered she lied about another meeting with her 53-year-old lover, Rudy Reyes, at a Hilton Garden Inn in Burbank, California, the following month.
Aaron claims this discovery led to a heated confrontation over the July 4 holiday, during which she allegedly smashed his phone.
Irate, Phypers filed for divorce the following Monday – only to be hit with an avalanche of abuse allegations from Richards, 54, in court papers, including that he had left her with a black eye.
Now the 49-year-old – who feverishly denies ever harming Richards – has spoken out on their marriage to claim:
- An explosive argument on the Fourth of July holiday weekend about her alleged affair, which he says has been going on for six months, is what led to his decision to end their marriage
- She smashed up his phone after realizing he had taken pictures and video of her X-rated conversations with her lover
- She has a 25-pill per day Vicodin addiction and washes them down with tequila
- Richards lives a chaotic lifestyle that includes having a pack of 15 rescue dogs who Phypers claims are allowed to defecate all over her home
- Her house is so filthy, Phypers claims he once discovered ‘petrified dog c**p’ under one of her daughters’ beds
Denise Richards’s estranged husband Aaron Phypers has come forward with claims about his wife’s alleged affair, which he says ended their nine-year marriage
In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, Phypers claims he discovered 107 raunchy texts between Richards and her 53-year-old lover, Rudy Reyes on her phone back in April
‘I’m brokenhearted and f***ing tired,’ an exhausted Phypers told DailyMail.com. ‘Really, she’s f***ed me up.
‘We’ve been together nine years and for her to do that and to lie to me consistently – I’m totally tired and drained.’
Phypers said his relationship with Richards had been deteriorating for some time before their split, worsening at the start of the year partly due to what he claims is her insatiable appetite for prescription pills and tequila.
‘She’s got a real problem,’ Phypers said of her penchant for pills. ‘She mixes it too with booze and she stays up all night.
‘She’s there on her computer and taking stuff, then she hides the bottles. It’s gotten out of hand, and I’m really concerned.’
He added: ‘She buys them in bottles of 500 pills. I don’t know where she gets them from, but she always has them.
Phypers claims he found one text exchange in which the Special Forces veteran, Rudy Reyes, who is from South Carolina, sent Richards a shirtless snap
Reyes sent an X-rated selfie and expressed desire to see Richards in a text conversation as recent as May, according to Phypers
Phypers shared what he says is a text conversation that revealed details of the multiple sordid hotel hook-ups his wife and her lover enjoyed
‘I don’t know what the market rate for those are but it’s $10, $20, $30, $50 each pill. You do the math – lot of money is going out the window for that.’
Adding to the marital pressure was their semi-nomadic lifestyle, which involved moving home six times in less than a decade – with each move requiring Phypers to stage what he describes as a ‘Noah’s Ark’ operation to relocate her menagerie of pets.
According to Phypers, the glamorous blonde owned 58 dogs at one point, as well as two potbellied pigs, and an incontinent Sphinx cat named Tim that would ‘mark his territory’ each time they moved by spraying all over the house.
He says he was left to clear up the mess and repair the damage caused to their rental properties by the dog pack and said Richards never bothers to clean up after them – instead content to let their maids sweep dog poo under the family’s beds.
‘It is so gnarly,’ a disgusted Phypers told Daily Mail ‘There was petrified dog c**p under one of the girls’ beds.
‘The maids just sweep it under the bed. It’s a beautiful home but no one picks up the mess.’

The texts Phypers claims are from Richards also include a memorably bizarre exchange in which Richards told her lover that she ‘felt a connection’ when ‘I met you and you put that potato sack over my head’

Despite the alleged drugs and boozing, Phypers said the marriage muddled along until April when he claims he discovered 107 raunchy texts between Richards and Reyes on her phone, along with details of the multiple sordid hotel hook-ups they enjoyed.
He said the discovery made clear to him that Richards was allegedly having an affair, which led him to file for divorce. The proceedings and tension between the couple have been widely reported ever since.
‘I just had this feeling that something was off because her behavior had changed – she was being kind of cool to me,’ said Phypers.
‘I opened her phone – we both know each other’s passwords – so I opened it up and then I went to her deleted texts and there were 107 of them between her and this guy.
‘I went through them and it just broke my heart.’
Of her alleged lover, he added: ‘As for him, he’s really is a w**ker.’
In an apparent conversation from February, her lover tells Richards he’s single and admits: ‘I hope i am not tempting U’
Phypers also complained about Richards’s allegedly chaotic lifestyle that includes having a pack of 15 rescue dogs who he claims are allowed to defecate all over her home
DailyMail.com has reviewed the alleged conversations between Richards and Reyes, whom she met during her stint on Fox reality military training show Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
Reyes, a former Recon Marine, appears as one of the show’s presenters and ‘Directing Staff’ instructors.
A review of what Phypers claims is their text messages reveal multiple discussions about setting up hotel sex sessions as well as scores of raunchy photos shared between each other.
Along with graphic naked photos and videos of Richards’s alleged soldier lover, they also include X-rated photos of the actress herself – including a racy snap where she is seen exposing one breast.
Other tawdry photos on the text chain show Richards posing provocatively in a thong swimsuit, and another where she is seen posing topless wearing nothing but a pair of pink thong panties and a pink hat.
It also includes a memorably bizarre exchange in which Richards told her lover: ‘I really can’t wait to talk to you in person actually.
Phypers says his discovery of the alleged May tryst led to an explosive showdown over the July 4 holiday weekend, during which Richards allegedly smashed up his phone (pictured)
‘I felt a connection as a human being when I met you and you put that potato sack over my head.’
When he first discovered the fling, his wife apologized profusely and promised to break it off, according to Phypers.
She also offered to let him look at her phone whenever he wants to ‘rebuild trust’ but, Phypers said, soon returned to making plans to meet up with her lover.
‘When I first found out, it really stung,’ Phypers told DailyMail.com. ‘But she offered to rebuild trust by letting me see her phone.
‘Well, it turns out she’s got another number too which I just found out about.
‘It kills me. She’s been setting up times to meet him out of town while creating fights with me.’
Richards met Reyes when she appeared on the latest season of Fox reality military training show Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, earlier this year
Reyes is a former US Marine Corps Recon Sergeant and now applies his tough military training on contestants on the show
Most of those fights were over Phypers’s octogenarian parents who live in one of Richards’ properties in Calabasas where they care for her pack of 15 dogs.
But the July 4 showdown came after he said he discovered that the affair was still going on and took photos of the raunchy conversations – at which point she snatched his phone.
Phypers said he later discovered the device ‘smashed to powder’ at the bottom of a garbage can that was crawling with maggots.
‘I run up to her and I go, ‘what the f**k did you do this for?’, he said. ‘And she goes, ‘I did not do anything to your phone’. Just denied it.
‘And then I’m like, so it was Casper the Ghost? And she still denied it, so I ran out. I was in disbelief, and I took off.’
He added: ‘I just feel like I’ve been taken for a fool. It’s been a nightmare. Just a huge nightmare.’
Phypers shared an alleged text exchange he had with Richards’s nephew after he sent the letter, who described his aunt’s behavior as ‘beyond crazy’
After Phypers filed for divorce, Richards hit back with an avalanche of abuse allegations from Richards in court documents, including that he had left her with a black eye – which he says was actually the result of a drunken fall
A heartbroken Phypers then filed for divorce on July 7 and included a request for spousal support totaling $100,000-a-month.
Phypers says the colossal sum reflects the fact that he was, until this month, an equal partner with his wife in her business ventures which include a reality TV show and an only fans account.
‘I do 80 per cent of the work,’ he told DailyMail.com. ‘I edit the pictures and build all the sets myself, as well as managing all her properties.’
Richards hit back a week later with a request for a temporary restraining order, which was granted last week, that included a laundry list of domestic abuse allegations – all of which Phypers denies.
He says he is now in limbo and waiting for an upcoming August hearing in which a judge will decide if the order is lifted, and until then, he is banned from going near his estranged wife and her adopted daughter Eloise, who he says he adores and misses terribly.
She has also refused to give him his power tools and angrily threw a workman sent by Phypers to retrieve them out of her house last Wednesday, he claims.
‘She’s trying to destroy me,’ Phypers said. ‘But I just can’t be treated this way anymore.’
Neither Denise Richards nor Rudy Reyes returned Daily Mail’s request for comment.
Richards’ divorce attorney Brett Berman issued the following statement to Access Hollywood: ‘In addition to the repeated abuse perpetrated by Mr. Phypers against Ms. Richards throughout the parties’ marriage, Mr. Phypers has continued to harass Ms. Richards since being served with the Temporary Restraining Order by, among other things, disseminating private information from Ms. Richards’ cell phone and laptop, which he stole.
‘These actions continue to disturb Ms. Richards’ peace. We have warned Mr. Phypers in writing not to disseminate any information from Ms. Richards’ stolen cell phone and laptop but, he continues to do so. Ms. Richards will not be responding to Mr. Phypers’ false allegations in a public forum and will be addressing Mr. Phypers’ abuse in Court.’
