"Aaron regularly threatened to 'break my jaw' and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help - none of which ever happened," the actress added.

The Wild Things actress claimed she never called law enforcement on her husband because Aaron "threatened to kill himself" if she reported him, she said in court documents. Richards claimed in court docs Phypers would hack her laptop and phone and download all of her text messages. Advertisement Phypers told TMZ he found out about Richards' alleged hookup with another man earlier this year, when he discovered text messages on her laptop.

But a huge fight over the July 4 weekend prompted him to file for divorce. Advertisement He also claimed that his phone went missing for more than 24 hours and later found it smashed to pieces in a bin. Phypers told the outlet he questioned Richards about the phone but she alletedly "hit and scratched him". VICIOUS ATTACK During an incident on January 17, 2022, Richards alleged in court docs that Phypers viciously used the heel of his palm to strike her in her left eye, causing massive swelling and bruising. Richards claimed that moments before the incident, Phypers became "paranoid" claiming that several potted plants he had just purchased for his workspace contained listening devices. Advertisement The actress said Phypers began screaming and that's when a police officer, who would regularly station in the parking lot of the Malibu property, approached the door. However, after the officer left, Richards alleged in court docs that Phypers continued screaming then "used the heel of his palm to strike me in the eye while calling me a 'f**king b***h.'" Richards claimed a family member witnessed the attack, which caused significant bruising to form around her left eye. "The bruising took a month to heal. I had to cancel two professional meetings and rely on a makeup artist - who was aware of the situation - to cover the injury for an unavoidable work obligation," she added in the docs. Advertisement She claimed her husband insisted she tell others that she had "walked into a piece of his equipment stored on the building's balcony." A judge granted Richards a temporary restraining order against Phypers that will last until August 8, when the estranged couple are due in court. Phypers was ordered to stay 100 yards from Richards' home, place of work and vehicle. He was also ordered to return her laptops and everything he downloaded from her phone. Advertisement DIVORCE SHOCK The U.S. Sun previously reported that Richards was caught by surprise when she learned about Phypers' divorce filing. Sources close to the former Housewives of Beverly Hills star said she felt "utterly betrayed." "She never in a million years wanted to get another divorce and she never in a million years thought he would do this to her," the insider told The U.S. Sun in early July. "It's a betrayal; he promised he would never do this. She made it crystal clear to him thousands of times that they could work through anything no matter how big the problem but divorce was never an option. Advertisement "He agreed. Then did this. There's more questions than answers right now." Phypers is requesting spousal support to continue with their lavish lifestyle, which cost over $105,000 a month, according to court papers filed in "Denise thinks it's egregious he is seeking spousal support from her after she has been financially supporting him all these years," the source added. 'She thought he was different but turns out he's what people warned her about.'
