Denise Richards' estranged husband Aaron Phypers ditches wedding ring as he is BLASTED by Housewives stars
The 52-year-old entrepreneur wore a black T-shirt, distressed jeans, and gray sneakers as he removed his wedding ring in his first public sighting since the split.
According to Page Six, Phypers stopped by a Wells Fargo and Verizon store, where he purchased a new phone.
This week a source told DailyMail that his marriage with the silver screen siren had gotten ' toxic.'
Amid Denise and Aaron's breakup, the 54-year-old reality star's former Real Housewives co-stars Teddi Mellencamp and Erika Jayne tore into Aaron.
On the podcast Diamonds in the Rough, Mellencamp pointed out that in a March episode of her now-defunct reality TV show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things the mom-of-three said she doesn't 'believe in divorce.'

'She said… that she would never believe in divorce. There's no chance that divorce could ever happen. She's no divorce, no divorce, never have one. And then… he f**king filed on July 4th,' Teddi said.
Both women admitted that Aaron's not their 'favorite person,' and Housewives viewers previously saw them clash with him on the show.
'He's asking her for spousal support,' Jayne mentioned, while Mellencamp said Aaron wants 'a lot' of financial support from Denise.
She stressed, 'She's a working mom,' referencing the Drop Dead Gorgeous stars' daughters Sami, 21, Lola, 20, and Eloise, 14, and adding, 'Come on, man. Don't do this.'
Mellencamp then expressed shock as she discovered that Aaron did not claim Denise's nonverbal adopted daughter Eloise.
Jayne said she 'thought he had adopted Eloise,' while Mellencamp added, 'They told us he did!'
And both women expressed disdain over Phypers' claim that he and Denise 'have no children together,' despite the fact that Eloise has lived with them since their September 2018 wedding.
'What a d*ckwad,' Mellencamp said in disgust as she suggested, 'It's because he doesn't ever wanna have to pay [Denise] anything.'

DailyMail's source shared about the estranged spouses: 'They have been having trouble for some time, but they had a row over the weekend where they basically were like "f**k you," and he marched off to file for divorce.'
'Denise is both devastated and relieved at the same time. She is mentally exhausted from the fighting, and she is glad that's over,' the insider said.
It was noted, 'But she is 100 percent not looking forward to the divorce, because he's made it clear that he won't go quietly. And she now has to gear up for a battle, which isn't what she wants.'
The source added that finances played a part in their issues, adding that the union had a theme of: 'she earns and he spends.'

Dr. Phil launching new media network of ‘citizen journalists' after his first one goes bankrupt
Celebrity psychologist Dr Phil McGraw is launching a new media network that will provide opportunities for 'citizen journalists' to share their stories, less than two weeks after a similar venture went bankrupt. Envoy Media Co. will include 'live, balanced news, original entertainment programming, and immersive viewer experiences,' according to a press release shared by The Hollywood Reporter. It comes after McGraw's conservative-leaning cable network, Merit Street Media, filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, barely a year after its launch, while also suing its distribution partner, Trinity Broadcasting, for breach of contract. THC reported that Envoy Media will also include library programming and original shows from McGraw and his friend and fellow TV star Steve Harvey, who also collaborated on Merit Street. The release included that the network's app would also 'provide an opportunity for citizen journalists to share news and stories from their communities while seamlessly integrating curated user-generated content on a national scale.' In a statement following the announcement of the new network, McGraw said: 'As always, my commitment and that of the Envoy network team is to focus on real people, facing real challenges, seeking real solutions. 'By talking about things that matter to people who care, presenting facts, encouraging people to think critically, they can make up their own minds. Our disruptive technology will engage Envoy viewers at an unprecedented level in real time.' McGraw's previous attempt at a multi-platform media company came in late 2023, following his successful two-decade run as a popular daytime talk show host. Merit Street Media featured a Dr. Phil primetime program as its flagship show. 'Merit Street Media will be a resource of information and strategies to fight for America and its families, which are under a cultural 'woke' assault as never before," McGraw said in a statement at the time. 'I love this country and I believe family is the backbone of our society. Together we are going to stand strong and fight for the very soul and sanity of America and get things that matter back on track.' However, roughly four months after its official launch in April 2024, Merit Street laid off roughly 40 employees – around one-third of its total staff. In a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in the Northern District Court of Texas, Merit Street cited a 'severely strained liquidity position' and the inability to secure additional capital as reasons for the declaration. The subsequent lawsuit against Trinity alleged that the broadcaster 'reneged on its obligations and abused its position as the controlling shareholder of Merit Street,' leaving the channel with over $100 million in debt. 'These failures by TBN were neither unintended nor inadvertent,' the lawsuit read. 'They were a conscious, intentional pattern of choices made with full awareness that the consequence of which was to sabotage and seal the fate of a new but already nationally acclaimed network.'

Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48, has a youthful glow next to husband Freddie Prinze Jr after sharing her diet secrets
Sarah Michelle Geller looked sensational on Monday evening at the Los Angeles premiere of the reboot for I Know What You Did Last Summer. The 48-year-old blonde had on a frilly mini-dress with a cheerful butterfly-inspired pattern that flashed the flesh as she showed off a summer tan and toned figure. The TV veteran added orange pumps and a matching boxy clutch purse that picked up the orange hue in her fancy frock. Her blonde hair was pulled back a bit as curtain bangs framed her famous face while she added whimsical earrings. The Buffy The Vampire Slayer veteran was on the arm of her 49-year-old husband of 23 years, actor Freddie Prinze Jr. They met in 1998. Prinze looked dapper in a navy blue suit as he displayed his silver fox-esque salt-and-pepper hair and goatee. Last year Sarah shared her diet tips as she credited meal preparation. She takes time to grocery shop and set aside exactly what she needs to get through the day. For breakfast she makes an egg that she pairs with avocado toast which provides protein and good fats. 'An avocado toast is a great way to get protein,' she told Eating Well. 'I love to put an egg on top of my avocado toast. And you can put a great burrata, a little cheese, on top for protein. That is certainly No. 1.' For lunch Sarah goes for a Buddha bowl which includes brown rice, chicken, cabbage and cucumbers with soy sauce and honey. Dinner might be a Mediterranean chicken quinoa salad or fish with vegetables. Then there are the workouts. Gellar's fitness routine is varied and includes Pilates, strength training, and hiking. She's been incorporating weight training more recently and enjoys Pilates classes using machines like the Megaformer. She also enjoys hiking with her family and dogs. Additionally, she uses streaming workout services when traveling. The TV veteran added orange pumps and a matching boxy clutch purse that matched the orange in her fancy frock In April she shared the secret to marital success. Apparently the answer has to do with having one's own personal space. The actress who was in Paris for Fashion Week in March, shared the secret when she stopped by the Today studios. She chatted with Jenna and Friends host Jenna Bush Hager and her guest host Tiffany Haddish. 'Separate bathrooms,' she state authoritatively to the astonished hosts. 'That's it? It's that simple?' Hager queried. 'It's that simple,' the Dexter: Original Sin star confirmed. Comedian Tiffany Haddish had a different idea, inspired by the golden age of television. 'See, I was thinking it was like the Lucy and Ricky thing [ from I Love Lucy] where you both had twin beds, and then when y'all want to get together, you push them together, and when you want to be apart, you push them apart,' she suggested. 'I had not thought of that,' the Wolf Pack star admitted, adding, 'that is actually a really good idea.' Geller and Prinze, 49, met on the set of 1999's I Know What You Did Last Summer, which is getting a reboot. The action star revealed on social media in November 2024 that she was with Prinze in Australia for production on the fright flick. A new trailer for the gory thriller was release on Tuesday. Geller's Helen Shivers was killed in the 90s film. Prinze, 49, reprises his role as Ray Bronson and Jennifer Love Hewitt, 46, returns as Julie James. Geller also admitted the long awaited Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot was also in the works, but said she wasn't allowed to talk about any details. 'We won't do it until we know we're 100-percent ready and we're confident that we are giving you something that the audience is asking for, that's also original in its own right.' The rebooted Buffy will make it to the small screen sometime in 2026. The new I Know What You Did Last Summer debuts in theaters July 18.
