Denise Richards granted restraining order amid claims Aaron Phypers 'threatened to kill her'
Denise Richards has claimed her ex-husband, Aaron Phypers, threatened to kill her. New details of their split have emerged after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was granted a temporary restraining order against her ex, according to reports in the USA.
According to TMZ, the restraining order will last through August 8, when the pair are due in court. The publication says he been ordered to stay 100 yards from Denise, her home, her place of work and vehicle.
The pair filed for divorce earlier this month after being married for six years. They listed the official date of their separation as July 4, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind their split. Meanwhile, Phypers is asking the court to grant him spousal support from Denise, 54.
However, they will still appear on their joint reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, alongside her daughters. Earlier this week, Denise filed for protection from the court, claiming that she had suffered physical abuse during their marriage.
Now, new court documents show Denise claimed that she feared for her life after Aaron allegedly threatened to kill her. The reality star said: "Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages."
In the filings she went on to say that Aaron would often threaten to break her jaw and beg her to stay with him if he sought help, "none of which ever happened," she added.
She added: "Aaron has caused me at least three concussions. Aaron has told me that he has left recording devices to record me while I was alone in hotel rooms and at my townhouses." On July 4, Denise claimed that Aaron repeatedly became very close to her face, branding her a "c***, w***er," and a "piece of s**t."
The day after, she claims that Aaron and his dad got within inches of her face, yelling vile words at her once again, with him allegedly hitting her on the bill of her hat with the back of his hand, causing her hat to fall to the floor. Aaron has not responded to the allegations made against him.
In his spousal support documents, he claims he has no income of his own, and estimates that Denise earns over $250,000 per month, which is around £185,000, from OnlyFans, TV work, brand deals and public appearances.
In the filing, he estimates that they spend $105,000 - around £77,000 - a month on average and that Denise has been covering it. Their monthly spending is said to include $20K on clothes and $15K on eating out, which is around £15,000 and £11,000 respectively.
Aaron has asked to keep their assets and debts as separate property. The request is said to include his power tools, a motorcycle and a sports car. Recently, more details have emerged from their split, with it being said that the "last thing she wanted was another divorce, so he gave her a divorce".
"Aaron wanted to hurt her, and he has. Meanwhile, the last thing he wants is to be broke - so she's cutting off his cash flow," a source recently claimed to MailOnline.
Following the claims, Aaron has since told TMZ the claims are "not true". He said: "I have all the details. She is creating a story to save her image reporting a conjured up story when I have all the real evidence."
The Mirror has approached Denise's spokesperson for comment and reached out to Aaron.

Brooke Hogan's emotional way of remembering her late dad Hulk after bitter family feud
Hulk Hogan 's daughter Brooke has remembered her father in an emotional way despite their estrangement and bitter family feud. Earlier this week on Thursday, the WWE icon passed away at the age of 71 after going into cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. But months before his sudden death, Brooke gave birth to twins in January - a boy and a girl - and her daughter's moniker has a sweet tribute to Hogan, a source told TMZ in an article published on Friday. Her daughter's full name is Molly Gene Olesky - with the middle name being the same as the late wrestler's. Although Brooke, 37, and Hulk had a tumultuous relationship for years, insiders informed the outlet that she still cared for her father. TMZ reported that both she and husband Steven Olesky had moved down to Florida in order to be closer to Hogan, but they never had the chance to strengthen their bond. Hulk welcomed Brooke as well as son Nick, 34, with ex-wife Linda - whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009. He later tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 until their divorce in 2021. Two years later, the WWE legend said 'I do' to Sky Daily and the pair were married up until his death on Thursday. Brooke learned of her father's passing when Nick reached out to her husband Steven to share the devastating news. Olesky - who is a former NHL player - later broke his silence on his father-in-law's death by commenting on a friend's tribute to the wrestler and wrote: 'Thank you for the love and support for my beautiful wife. 'We are incredibly lucky to have you in our lives - not just during this challenging time, but always.' Brooke and her father last spoke nearly two years earlier in September 2023 only weeks before he married Sky. On that call, Brooke expressed love and concern for her father - telling him that he shouldn't be working so hard due to his declining health. Despite her pleas for him to enjoy more of his life, those requests fell on deaf ears. The pair didn't speak again. The outlet also claims that Hulk apologized to Brooke on the call, but it wasn't clear what that apology was for. TMZ also reported this week that Brooke was concerned with what was going on in Hulk's life and was protective of him. However, their relationship wasn't reparable. Despite multiple attempts from her husband to fix their relationship, including when Brooke almost died in childbirth, Hulk 'responded coldly and never made an effort to meet Brooke's kids,' per TMZ. The outlet added that Hulk seemingly 'only wanted a relationship with her under his terms.' Back in April, exclusively revealed that Hogan was 'heartbroken' about his ongoing family feud - specifically with Brooke. 'The massive uphill battle might finally be taking place,' an inside source stated. 'Hogan is finally hearing and listening to those that have been thrown in different directions by his behavior. He is looking to make up for past bad decisions.' While it's said that Hogan wanted to stay as 'far away from Linda as possible', our source added: 'He's heartbroken that he doesn't have a relationship with his daughter and would love someday to rectify that. 'As this current drama has occurred and all the s*** that he has gone through piles on to itself, he is finally looking to see if he can make amends and help rather than hurt. 'He knows that many will think it is a boy who cried wolf situation, and it will be hard to trust him - but he is looking to do the work.' The insider added, 'Nothing will be overnight but now that his daughter and his ex-wife have said their things, he is taking it to heart and hopefully it will lead to a change for the better.' Hulk's reputation was damaged in the mid-2000s in a leaked audio recording when discussing how a Black man was interesting in bankrolling Brooke's attempt at a music career. Hogan told a family friend: 'I don't know if Brooke was f***ing the black guy's son... I mean, I don't have double standards. 'I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f***ing n******. But then when it comes to nice people and s***, and whatever.' He continued: 'I mean, I'd rather if she was going to f*** some n*****, I'd rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n***** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we're all a little racist. F***ing n*****.' Brooke wasn't the only one the wrestling legend had issues with. In recent months, his ex-wife Linda lashed out at Hulk - calling him a 'complete liar [and] a sex addict' who had left their family in the 'worst mess.' But just days before his death, Linda paid a special tribute to Hulk on Instagram as she shared a throwback photo of the pair from the 80s. In the caption, she had written: 'The good old days!' After Hogan's death was announced, his widow Sky broke her silence and penned to Instagram on Friday: 'I wasn't ready for this... and my heart is in pieces. 'He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time.' She added, 'This loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend... but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart. 'Hulk loved his fans so much and despite his growing physical discomfort, he did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him.' Daily concluded with, 'He was a believer in Christ, and I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he's been welcomed home. Please keep his family and all of us who loved him in your prayers as we try to navigate this new reality.' Before his death, Hogan had undergone neck surgery and Sky claimed that his heart was 'strong' amid claims he was on his deathbed in a coma. The late star's rep also expressed in a statement, 'He's had problems with his back for years but there's no emergency.' A source told that the WWE icon was trying to get back to '100 percent' following both neck and back surgeries. 'Hulk has a body ravaged by wrestling, his body is the body of a 140-year-old man with all the bumps and bruises through the years, and his recent neck and back surgeries have been harder to come back from,' the insider said.

Strictly star slams ‘manipulative' TV industry after quitting fame for OnlyFans – and reveals family member's jibe
Keep scrolling to see what the star had to say star swipe Strictly star slams 'manipulative' TV industry after quitting fame for OnlyFans – and reveals family member's jibe A FORMER Strictly star has branded the TV industry as 'manipulative' after quitting fame for OnlyFans. John Whaite rose to fame after winning The Great British Bake Off in 2012. 4 TV star John Whaite has competed in Strictly and Great British Bake Off Credit: PA 4 He danced with Johannes Radebe on Strictly Credit: PA 4 The star returned to OnlyFans earlier this year Credit: Instagram The 36-year-old later competed on Strictly Come Dancing, finishing as runner-up behind Rose Ayling-Ellis. Speaking to Gay Times Magazine, John opened up about his experiences in the TV industry. The baker and presenter said: "I think the deeper conversation here is about welfare generally within the TV industry. I think that is still very much an elusive beast. "As soon as Strictly finishes, it's like, get out the hotel, get out the flat, go home, but that is a life- altering event for the individual who's been subject to the headlines, often at the hand of these shows, because these shows sometimes feed stories to the media. "TV is manipulative and it's a distortion of truth, there's always an ulterior motive. "People aren't being fed the unadulterated, objective truth. And I certainly don't subscribe to that." Continuing, John recounted how he was "around 23" during his time on Bake Off. He recalled thinking his "existence hinged on being successful in television." John added: "But I think when you go through all these different permutations of your life, you start to realise that the b******t just does not matter. "What actually matters is your health, your sanity, your loved ones, your family, be it biological or chosen." Strictly and OnlyFans star John Whaite opens up on health struggle, saying 'it makes life almost unbearable' Elsewhere in the interview, John revealed a family member had called him "disgusting" due to his OnlyFans content. The Sun previously revealed how he made a return to the platform earlier this year. The star had been posting a series of very explicit videos and images for his legion of subscribers on the adult-only website. Sources close to the star – who was paired with Johannes Radebe on Strictly - said: 'John has been telling friends he feels really empowered by posting what he wants. 'He's in amazing shape and is proud of how far he has come. 'He's says it really has nothing to do with money and it's not about helping fund his bakery business. 'John doesn't care what anyone else thinks. "He's really happy with the content he is creating.'

Grammy-winning jazz musician Chuck Mangione behind hit single Feels So Good dead at 84
Legendary jazz musician Chuck Mangione, the man behind the international hit single Feels So Good, has died at the age of 84. The trumpet and flugelhorn player landed his breakthrough in the 1960s performing for bandleader Art Blakely, before becoming a star in his own right. He won two Grammy Awards over the course of his decades-long career, and his music was included in two Olympic ceremonies. Mangione's 1977 album Feels So Good, which contained the full nine-minute version of the instrumental title track, rocketed to number two on the Billboard 200. When a truncated three-minute single of Feels So Good was released the following year, it too rose to become a thunderous smash success. He died this week of natural causes at home in his upstate New York hometown of Rochester, his manager informed TMZ. Charles Frank Mangione was born in 1940 in Rochester and fell in love with jazz thanks to his father Frank, a grocer who was an avid fan of the genre. Mangione's father 'would take my brother Gap and me to Sunday-afternoon matinees at the jazz clubs,' he fondly recalled. 'When I was a kid, there were hordes of wonderful small group - Miles Davis' band, Cannonball Adderley's band, Sonny Rollins' band, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Charlie Ventura.' The musical stars who came to town often wound up at the Mangione home for dinner at the invitation of young Chuck's father. 'At that time, there were two TV stations and two movies in town. The musicians were in town for two weeks, so when they found out that they could come over to our place and hear a good record collection, have some homemade pasta and some good Italian red, it wasn't too hard to get them to come by,' said Mangione. 'It happened so often, so regularly, that it took me years to realize how significant it was. And I kind of grew up thinking that every kid had Carmen McRae or Art Blakey at his house,' he confessed to the Los Angeles Times. Mangione's own early career in the 1960s included working with his pianist brother Gap, as well as a trumpeter in Art Blakely's group the Jazz Messengers. However his true stardom arrived in the 1970s, the decade he began collaborating with saxophonist Gerry Niewood as part of a quartet. 'For a long time I lived in the shell of the so–called jazz musician, who said: "To hell with the people. I'm the artist, I know what's right, and I'm going to play for myself. If they like it, fine; if they don't, too bad,"' Mangione remarked in 1972. 'Well, that's partially true, but you can still maintain your musical conviction and try to communicate with people. For me, lifting the people up, making them enjoy what we're doing is as important as it is for me to play the kind of music I want to play. Both are very possible.' During that decade he won his two Grammys, first in 1977 for his instrumental composition Bellavia, the title of which was his mother's middle name. His second Grammy was for playing on the soundtrack for the 1978 Anthony Quinn movie The Children of Sanchez, for which Mangione also wrote the score. The 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal included Mangione's composition Chase the Clouds Away - and four years later, the theme song for the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York was another Mangione original called Give It All You Got. Mangione's beloved father Frank 'Papa' Mangione, who used to joke that he 'played the cash register,' retired from the grocery store business in 1975 and went on tour with his jazz musician sons, hawking their merchandise on the road. Over a career in which he released 30 albums and earned 14 Grammy nods, Chuck Mangione's crowning success was the album Feels So Good and its title single. After the full LP emerged as a galloping success in 1977, Mangione was faced with the task of trimming its more than nine-minute title track to the length of a single. 'We did major surgery on Feels So Good and cut it down to three minutes,' the musical artist explained in the 1990s. 'Then, without my knowing it, the engineer thought it might be a hair too slow and cranked it up a half a step in pitch. I didn't find out until I went on a radio show and the deejay asked me to play along with it. I said: "Sure," and then I discovered it was a half-tone higher. I said: "What? I'm half a step flat." But it worked.' In an era dominated by disco and rock 'n' roll, Mangione's instrumental jazz single soared to number four on the Billboard Hot 100, a crossover triumph that he himself readily described in retrospect as a 'fluke.' The track passed into musical history, featured on the soundtracks of projects ranging from The Big Bang Theory and Doctor Strange. Mangione also earned a firm position as a pop culture icon of sorts, to the point he memorably played himself on the beloved animated series King of the Hill. With his trademark top hat constantly on and his trumpet regularly in hand, Mangione was unmistakable even in cartoon format. His memorial services at the Bartolomeo & Perreto Funeral Home in upstate New York are to be kept private, according to the local outlet Rochester First.
