Denise Richards granted restraining order following abuse claims amid Aaron Phypers divorce filing

Richards alleges that during their relationship, Phypers would frequently choke her, squeeze her head and arms, slap her face, and slam her head into household fixtures. She also detailed a disturbing 2022 incident at Phypers' Malibu workplace, where he allegedly became paranoid that potted plants were bugged with listening devices. During the altercation, Richards claims Phypers struck her in the eye and called her a 'f–king b–ch'. She included photos of her bruised face in the legal filings.
In another alleged incident, Richards said Phypers violently attacked her after she suggested he not accompany her on a work trip. She claims he grabbed her by the hair, slammed her to the ground, and screamed that he would not let her travel alone.
Phypers has denied the accusations, telling Us Weekly the claims are 'not true' and 'conjured up,' adding, 'I have the real evidence.' He has been ordered to remain at least 100 yards away from Richards and her property, including her home and car. A hearing on the restraining order is scheduled for August 8.
The allegations surfaced just days after Phypers filed for divorce on July 7, citing 'irreconcilable differences' and listing their separation date as July 4. He also requested spousal support, claiming he has had no income since closing his healing center in Malibu last year, while alleging Richards earns over $250,000 per month from her media ventures.
Richards and Phypers began dating in 2017 and married in a private ceremony in Malibu in September 2018. Their relationship was documented on the reality series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. Despite publicly vowing not to divorce again, Richards now faces a legal battle marked by troubling allegations and emotional fallout.

Ex UFC fighter Diego Sanchez arrested in New Mexico
Diego Sanchez, the winner of the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter," was arrested Thursday in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after allegedly firing a gun from a moving vehicle, as per TMZ. According to court documents, officers were responding to an incident on Interstate 40 when they noticed a Jeep Gladiator passing by the scene. A passenger in the vehicle, later identified as Sanchez, reportedly discharged a firearm during the drive. Police stopped the Jeep shortly afterward. While Sanchez admitted there was a gun in the vehicle, he denied firing any shots. However, the driver, who is not facing charges, told officers that Sanchez did shoot from the car window and laughed about the incident. During a search of the vehicle, officers found three rounds on the passenger side and the firearm in the back pocket of the driver's seat. The 43-year-old former UFC fighter is currently in custody and faces two charges: shooting at or from a motor vehicle and negligent use of a deadly weapon. Sanchez last competed in the UFC in 2020, losing to Jake Matthews by unanimous decision, and had his final MMA bout in 2022, a unanimous decision loss to Kevin Lee. Over his nearly 20-year career, Sanchez compiled a professional record of 31 wins and 14 losses. He fought for the UFC lightweight title once against B.J. Penn but was knocked out in the fifth round. His notable bout with Clay Guida is enshrined in the UFC Hall of Fame. This arrest marks a significant development in the life of the longtime mixed martial artist.

Aaron Phypers breaks silence after Denise Richards' disturbing claims
Aaron Phypers is pushing back after his estranged wife Denise Richards accused him of severe abuse in court filings. In a rare public statement, the 52-year-old actor has firmly denied the allegations, labelling them 'completely false and deeply hurtful.' His response comes after Richards was granted a temporary restraining order, detailing years of alleged violent outbursts, emotional manipulation, and physical assaults. 'I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise, or anyone,' Phypers said. 'These accusations are categorically untrue.' While acknowledging that the couple faced marital difficulties like many others, he insisted he always approached their relationship with 'love, patience, and respect.' The statement appears to be an attempt to counter Richards' explosive claims, which include violent choking, slapping, threats to kill her, and incidents of hacking and surveillance. Phypers has not directly addressed the specific incidents listed in court documents but maintains that any suggestion of abuse is fiction. The backlash online has been swift, and Phypers' response has only fueled the ongoing debate. Observers quickly noticed that the CEO of a company reportedly connected to Phypers has gone into digital lockdown. The CEO's wife quietly removed his last name from her Facebook profile before deactivating the account entirely. The CEO himself also locked comments on LinkedIn, raising even more eyebrows. As speculation spirals online, Aaron's supporters argue that the court of public opinion is moving too fast. They highlight the lack of formal charges or police reports, suggesting that this could be a deeply personal divorce battle playing out in the media. Despite the growing scrutiny, Phypers appears determined to clear his name. Whether the public buys his version of events remains to be seen, but with legal proceedings underway, more revelations are likely to emerge soon.
