Denise Richards made shocking remark about Aaron Phypers marriage months before divorce
This didn't age well.
Denise Richards vowed she'd 'never' end her marriage to Aaron Phypers, just four months before his shock divorce filing.
The actress, 54, made the remark in a March episode of her reality series, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
'It's not easy being married to me,' she confessed, with Phypers responding, 'It is not, and she said it! But this is it. I'm done.'
'Yeah, I'm never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I'm not gonna f**king get divorced,' chimed in Richards, referencing her divorce from Charlie Sheen, reports the New York Post.
They married in 2002, and she filed for divorce while pregnant in 2005. It was finalised the following year.
'No, we'll just have different homes or something,' Phypers added. 'But we're not gonna hate each other.'
The reality star said she'd never get divorced during an on-camera interview.
Just four months later, Phyers filed to end their marriage.

All that changed on Monday, July 7, when the fitness guru, 52, filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason behind their break-up after six years of marriage.
In the documents obtained by The Post, Phypers listed the date of their separation as July 4.
He also asked to be awarded spousal support from Richards, claiming he's made zero income since closing his business last year.
In his filing, Richards' estranged husband alleged she makes over US$250,000 (A$382,000) per month on various projects like her TV shows, brand deals, appearances and her OnlyFans.
Phypers estimated his monthly expenditure is $105,000 (A$160,000), including $20,000 (A$30,500) on clothing, $18,000 (A$27,500) on rent, $15,000 (A$23,000) on entertainment, $15,000 (A$23,000) on eating out, among other expenses.
He doesn't only want spousal support from his ex.
Phypers also asked the court for possession of his power tools, 2018 Indian Dark Horse motorcycle and his Shelby GT500 sports car.
Richards married the businessman on September 8, 2018.
The Wild Things actress has two older children — daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20 — whom she shares with Sheen.
The reality star also adopted her youngest daughter, Eloise, 14, in 2011, with Phypers legally adopting her 8 years later.
The pair tied the knot in 2018.
The Post caught up with Richards and Phypers at an event in May, and the duo gave no indication their marriage was about to end.
The former Bond girl even pitched her then-husband as the next possible 007, telling The Post exclusively that Phypers 'would be an amazing Bond,' as casting for the leading man has not been announced.
Richards played Dr. Christmas Jones in the 1999 franchise flick The World Is Not Enough alongside Pierce Brosnan.
While the pair appeared happy, Richards' oldest daughter recently revealed she's 'not even that close' with her stepdad.
In an April podcast episode of Casual Chaos with Gia Giudice, Sami disclosed the nature of her relationship with Phypers.
'We don't ever hang out, we never talk,' she shared, but noted, 'He makes her [Richards] happy.'
Richards wasn't the only one married before their relationship.
Phypers wed Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan in 2015. Their marriage was short-lived as Sheridan filed for divorce in July 2016, just a few months after they tied the knot.

‘F**k my life': Rebel Wilson's extraordinary spray over new lawsuit
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Hollywood actress Rebel Wilson has launched an extraordinary spray over the production company suing her for defamation, admitting the first song of her unreleased film, titled 'F**k My Life', sums up her situation. After news broke that the production company was suing her in Australia over comments on Instagram, Ms Wilson has returned to social media to repeat many of the claims that are outlined in the lawsuit. 'So apparently, I'm being sued in Australia?' she said to her 11 million followers on Instagram. 'It makes no sense. As the director, producer and co-star who nurtured a project called The Deb for five years from a three page idea into a gorgeous feature film, I want nothing more than to have this film released, and have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get this to happen. 'To say otherwise is complete nonsense. I'm so proud of the film!'. Describing the lawsuit as 'baseless' she said that 'many Australians worked so hard on this film, and it's imperative the movie is released!' 'It's been a year since the film has been completed and ready to go in cinemas. Instead, in my opinion, they've continued this spiteful, toxic behaviour. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 18: Rebel Wilson attends the premiere of "Bride Hard" at Directors Guild Of America on June 18, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor 21Seeds Infused Tequila) 'The first song of the film is called F**k My Life. I'm going to release it now, because if these f**kwits aren't going to release the movie, I may as well.' Ms Wilson then posted a video from the unreleased film, which legal sources suggested could be a breach of copyright. 'Everyone who worked on the movie and who knows me KNOWS, I put my blood, sweat and tears into this,' she said. 'Everyone knows I'm a 'truth teller' when it comes to vile people in the industry.' Ms Wilson is facing a lawsuit lodged in the NSW Supreme Court by the production company behind her directorial debut The Deb, alleging serious breaches of contract and director's duties, misleading and deceptive conduct, and injurious falsehood. Ms Wilson was sued for defamation in the United States last year by producers Amanda Ghost, Gregory Cameron and Vince Holden who allege she falsely claimed they had embezzled funds from the movie and had behaved with 'absolute viciousness and retaliatory behaviour'. That matter is ongoing. The new lawsuit in NSW has been lodged by Mr Holden's production company A.I. Film and is being handled by an Australian-based legal team – Patrick George, Jeremy Marel and barrister Sue Chrysanthou, SC. It accuses Ms Wilson of blocking the film's release though legal threats and making false claims that the lead actor in the film, Charlotte MacInnes, was the target of 'inappropriate conduct'. In the new legal submissions, A.I.'s legal team insist that Ms MacInnes denies she was ever harassed, and states that Ms Wilson's claims are baseless. The blow up follows a video Rebel Wilson posted on Instagram in July 2024, where she made a number of misconduct claims about the movie producers to her 11 million followers.

Picture: Instagram/Rebel Wilson '[T]o have the business partners that are involved in that movie turn around and say that no, the movie can't premiere, is just beyond devastating,'' she said. 'And so I said, reported, I guess you would say, their bad behaviour when I found out not minor things, big things, you know, inappropriate behaviour towards the lead actress of the film, embezzling funds from the film's budget, which we really needed because we're a small movie, you know? So kind of really important things. Since I reported that behaviour, I have been met with absolute viciousness and retaliatory behaviour. 'And yet every step of the way, these people who I complained about then tried to make my life hell. 'And this behaviour is absolutely vile and disgusting. Now these people you know, Amanda Ghost in particular, has a history of doing this kind of thing, mainly to music artists but also to people in the film business. So, the thing is, these people are forced to sign NDAs or, you know, otherwise threatened or bullied to not speak out. 'I will speak the truth, and, you know, warn people about these people in the industry. Who are just not behaving ethically ... if the movie doesn't play in Toronto, it's because of these absolute f**kwits.' Ms Ghost is now suing Ms Wilson for defamation in the United States. In the NSW lawsuit, the production company's legal team argued these statements conveyed that one of the producers had made 'inappropriate sexual advances to an actress in the film'. 'In fact, none of the producers had made inappropriate sexual advances to an actress,'' the legal documents state. The lawsuit alleged Ms McInnes categorically denied Ms Wilson's claims telling media outlets 'there is no truth to the allegations made involving me.' 'I love this film and I can't wait for it to be released. It would be wonderful if these proceedings can help make that happen,'' she said in a statement to The actress shared this moment from the set on Instagram. Picture: Instagram/Rebel Wilson She previously told media outlets: 'Making false accusations undermines real victims and I won't be the subject of a fabricated narrative.' After the actress was subsequently cast as Daisy in Florence Welch's musical Gatsby: An American Myth, Ms Wilson is alleged to have made the following statement on Instagram stories accusing her of 'changing her story.' 'When an actress on her first feature film is asked by a producer to stay in the same apartment as them, and then makes a complaint to me as the director saying said producer 'asked her to have a bath and shower with her and it made her feel uncomfortable' – what am I supposed to do of course I reported it,'' Ms Wilson said. 'There is no world where this is acceptable. The fact that this girl has been employed now by this 'producer' in the lead role of a production called GATSBY (ART Boston) and given a record label – should be all the proof you need as to why she has now changed her story.' During the Cannes Film Festival, Ms Wilson allegedly posted more Instagram stories, suggesting MacInnes had 'lied by denying the allegations of sexual misconduct by the film's UK producers'. 'Charlotte MacInnes in a culturally inappropriate Indian outfit on Len Blavatnik's luxury yacht in Cannes – ironically singing a song from a movie that will never get released because of her lies and support for the people blocking the film's release. So glad you got your record deal Charlotte at the expense of the 300 people who worked on The Deb and really wanna see it released.' A behind the scenes photo from the set of The Deb shared by the film's lead actress Charlotte MacInnes. Picture: Instagram/Charlotte MacInnes In the new lawsuit, it is alleged Ms Wilson 'threatened the Australian distributor of the film that she would obtain an injunction to prevent its release, when the contractual documents plainly prevented her from obtaining an injunction.' No stranger to defamation battles, Ms Wilson won a record payout from Bauer media but was later forced to repay the majority of her record defamation payout from a magazine publisher. Ms Wilson had received A$4.7m in damages and interest from Bauer Media over articles that she said portrayed her as a serial liar. But a court reduced the sum to A$600,000 following an appeal by the publisher. She was then ordered to pay back A$4.1m and A$60,000 in interest. A subsequent bid to have an appeal heard in the High Court of Australia was rejected, bringing her legal battle 'to a definitive end'.

Hulk Hogan's cause of death revealed
Don't miss out on the headlines from Other Sports. Followed categories will be added to My News. Iconic wrestler Hulk Hogan has died aged 71 after he suffered a heart attack at his Florida home on Thursday, US time. Hogan's manager Chris Volo told NBC that the star died surrounded by loved ones. There had been concerns about his health for several weeks but Hogan's wife Sky had assured fans that while Hogan was recovering after several operations there was 'no need to panic'. Tragically, and despite the optimism, Hogan did not make it through his recovery World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) confirmed Hogan's death and said it was 'saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan had passed away'. The organisation said Hogan, as Terry Bollea was known professionally, was 'one of pop culture's most recognisable figures' who had helped WWE achieve 'global recognition' in the 1980s. Hulk Hogan was always a commanding and flamboyant presence. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) US President Donald Trump said on social media the 'Hulkster' was a 'great friend' and 'MAGA all the way'. He applauded Hogan's 'absolutely electric speech' at last July's Republican National Convention. '(Hogan was) strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart. He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive.' President Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr, said simply: 'R. I. P to a legend'.

A 71-year-old resident … Hulk Hogan, was treated by Clearwater Fire & Rescue crews before being taken by Sunstar to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased,' police said in a statement.

But Hogan's wife Sky said that, Hogan was 'healing' and there was 'no need for panic' despite 'intense' surgeries. 'No, he's definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage … none of those rumours are true,' she reportedly wrote on Instagram this month.

'He's been recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion which is an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process. 'We've been in and out of the hospital to support that recovery. 'So truly, there's no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up,' she added. 'He's healing, and we're taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.' Hogan in 2015 at The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. Picture: AFP PHOTO / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Robin Marchant Dominated WWE in the 1980s Born in Augusta, Georgia, in 1953, Hogan started wrestling in 1977 after dropping out of university and soon joined the Word Wrestling Federation which became the WWE. The name 'Hulk' came from TV series The Incredible Hulk which was popular at the time. Hogan's charisma and flamboyance – including his trademark handlebar moustache, bandannas and theatrical ripping off of his shirt – helped propel him to stardom.

(AP Photo/Steve Nesius, Pool, File) His charm, ability to whip up a crowd and antics in the ring led him to achieve the fame few other wrestlers were able to sustain. Some considered his showmanship to surpass his actual wrestling ability. Yet he was WWE champion six times, albeit in a choreographed fusion of entertainment and sport. The adoration of fans and the ensuing 'Hulkamania' kept him at the forefront of WWE. After he stopped wrestling, Hogan began an acting career in films and TV. In 2015, Hogan apologised after a video of him using racial slurs emerged. The next year, he settled a court case with website Gawker after it had earlier published part of a sex tape involving him. He had accused the website of defamation, loss of privacy, and emotional pain and was initially awarded $140 million. Following Hogan's win, Gawker – then a popular site – went bankrupt and shut down. Originally published as Hulk Hogan's cause of death revealed
