Cops called after Denise Richards shows up at ex Aaron Phypers' home despite restraining order

News.com.au2 days ago
Denise Richards was photographed talking to police officers after she unexpectedly showed up at her estranged husband Aaron Phypers' house, despite having a restraining order against him.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star arrived at the Calabasas, California, home, where Phypers is living with his parents and brother, on Sunday afternoon to pick up her dog, TMZ reported on Tuesday.
An insider claimed to the outlet that Richards was banging on the back door before Phypers' parents let her inside. She then allegedly started screaming at them to leave the house.
The source claimed Richards, 54, put her finger in the faces of Phypers' parents and attempted to hit Phypers' brother.
The reality star also allegedly threw mail at her brother-in-law.
Phypers, 52, reportedly left the property once she arrived out of fear of violating the restraining order.
Phypers' elderly mother appeared shaken up, as she was seen hugging her son in the driveway in photos obtained by TMZ.
According to the outlet, no arrests were made as authorities concluded no crime had been committed.
Richards' lawyer, Brett Berman, denied any wrongdoing on the reality star's part, claiming to People that Richards did not violate the restraining order because she confirmed beforehand that Phypers 'was not present in her home.'
'Ms. Richards entered the home to retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission,' Berman claimed.
A source close to Phypers, meanwhile, called the allegation '100 per cent, absolutely false.'
Reps for Richards weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment.
The Denise Richards & Her Wild Things star was granted a temporary restraining order last month against Phypers shortly after he filed to end their six-year marriage.
In her restraining order filing, Richards accused Phypers of abuse, claiming he slapped, choked and threatened to kill her throughout their relationship.
Phypers denied the allegations, telling People that he 'never physically or emotionally abused Denise.'

Why is the Trump administration threatening to deport this Iranian man to Australia?

The US government is threatening to deport an Iranian man to Australia — even though he has no connection to Australia and has lived in the US since 1985. Reza Zavvar, a 52-year-old recruiter from Maryland, has been targeted for deportation because of a marijuana possession conviction from the 1990s, his lawyer says. A court order means he cannot be returned to Iran because of the risk of persecution there. So immigration authorities say they are sending him to either Australia or Romania after arresting him in the street near his home in late June. "They got him while he was walking his dog in his quiet suburban neighbourhood," his lawyer, Ava Benach, told the ABC. "And they detained him and sent him to Texas to hold him, and they said: 'We're gonna deport you to Australia or Romania.' His family, friends and locals are fundraising for a legal fight. They say Mr Zavvar had been quietly contributing to his community for years, helping out his elderly neighbours and making sandwiches each week for those in need of food. He had adopted his dog from a local shelter and recently moved in with his mother to help care for his grandmother. "After 40 years of living in the US, Reza knows no other home," his sister, Maryam, wrote as part of an online petition. "He waits in a privately run detention centre, thousands of miles from anything familiar, while bureaucrats decide his future." Mr Zavvar's case has highlighted a controversial strategy increasingly used by the Trump administration as part of its mass deportation regime — sending migrants to countries they have no connection to, sometimes using historical low-level misdemeanours as justification. But immigration lawyers said they had not seen Australia listed as a destination before. "Most of us in the immigration bar have been hearing about cases being sent to Central and South America," said Mahsa Khanbabai, an elected director on the American Immigration Lawyers Association board. "Normally, what we've been seeing is that the Trump administration is targeting countries where they feel they have some leverage, that they feel they can push around and bully. "Australia is not a country that we would normally consider to be in such a position." The Australian government said it had not been contacted by US authorities about the case. "There have been no new agreements made with the Trump administration on immigration," a government spokesperson said. Despite repeated requests for clarification, neither Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) nor the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) explained why Australia had been selected. But in a statement, DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said: "ICE continues to try and find a country willing to accept this criminal illegal alien." Mr Zavvar's sister said her brother had "built his life in Maryland, surrounded by his loving family, including his parents, sister, and cousins". "He was a natural athlete, excelling in football during high school, where he was affectionately known as a 'gentle giant' — competitive on the field but kind and warm-hearted off." He had a green card, allowing him permanent residence in the US — but his lawyer says his past marijuana-related conviction was later used to jeopardise that status. In 2004, an airport agent noticed his conviction and started a process that could have led to deportation. But three years later, a judge issued a "withholding of removal" order, preventing his return to Iran. DHS says his previous conviction — for attempted possession of a controlled substance — remains a reason to deport him. "Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the US," the department's Ms McLaughlin said. "Zavvar had almost 20 years to self-deport and leave the United States." The Trump administration has been pushing other countries to accept deportees who cannot return to their countries of origin: either because those countries will not take them back, or because of protection orders like Mr Zavvar's. The "withholding of removal" orders theoretically allow the US to deport the migrant to a different country, but that is historically rare. "We've never really seen people being sent to third countries in my 25 years of practice," Ms Khanbabai said. "When the UK started doing that a few years ago, I remember thinking, what a horrendous situation, thank God the United States doesn't do that. And now here we are seeing the US carry out these very same inhumane, what I would consider illegal, practices." The US government recently struck deals with several African countries, which have opened the door to more of these deportations. Small numbers of migrants — from countries including Vietnam, Cuba and Jamaica — have been sent to South Sudan and Eswatini. And on Wednesday, local time, Reuters reported that Rwanda had said it would accept up to 250 deportees, "in part because nearly every Rwandan family has experienced the hardships of displacement, and our societal values are founded on reintegration and rehabilitation". The Trump administration says it is delivering on an election promise to crack down on the millions of people in the US who don't have legal rights to live there, and especially those with criminal convictions. "Under President Trump … if you break the law, you will face the consequences," Ms McLaughlin said. "Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the US." But immigration lawyers and advocates say Mr Zavvar is among what appears to be a growing number of Iranians detained since the US air strikes on Iran in June. Green card and student visa holders, many of whom have clean records, are among them, Ms Khanbabai said. The lawyer, who is Iranian American and has many Iranian clients, said the community felt it was being targeted. "The Trump administration claimed that they were going to be going after criminals, yet the vast majority of people, including the Iranians, don't have any serious criminal offences or any at all," she said. "And so we're trying to figure out, is there an uptick of this focus on Iranians … or is this just part of the massive targeting of and scapegoating of immigrants?" Mr Zavvar's lawyer hopes her client's arrest will prove to be a publicity stunt that doesn't lead to his deportation. "I honestly think that they wanted to make a show of arresting Iranians in the wake of our bombing of the Iranian nuclear facility," Ms Benach said. "What people are going to remember is that the administration was arresting Iranians when they were certain that the Iranians were going to retaliate … and then six months from now, they might have to release them under the law, but we'll have moved on to something else."

Influencer who dropped OnlyFans account on day of her 18th birthday makes $1.6m

A Gen Z influencer who went viral at nine years old for her foul-mouthed antics, claims to have made $1.6m after joining OnlyFans the day of her 18th birthday. Rapper and content creator Lil Tay was thought to be rage baiting followers when she told male fans that she would be dropping the link to her OnlyFans the minute she legally became an adult. Men had been counting down to her birthday and she teased the release by tagging conservative American commentators like Ben Shapiro and Michael Knowles. However, when her birthday rolled around last week, Lil announced she was the 'youngest girl on OnlyFans' and began promoting content reportedly recorded at 12.01 that morning. She's since claimed that she made A$1.6m in her first three hours on the X-rated platform, saying, 'We broke the f**k out of that onlyfans record'. A screenshot of her earnings showed that just over half of the income came from subscribers who paid A$30 to follow her content, while the remainder came from direct messages. 'For all the grown haters who've been hating since I was nine years old, look at me now,' she said in a video shared on social media. 'What y'all got to say? Y'all been doubting me for seven years. You can hate me all you want — you can't say Lil Tay ain't winning. 'Oh yeah, and thank you to all my supporters who pre-ordered since 2018, or whenever you did.' Many of her followers were shocked she went through with the creation of the account. '$1,000,000 worth of people who need they hard drives checked,' one person said, while another agreed, ' who bought it should be arrested.' A third said, 'Pls tell me this is a joke.' Others have been raising questions about her age as when Lil Tay rose to fame in 2018 she was supposedly 9 years old, which would make her about 16 in 2025. In 2023, she was involved in a death hoax where her social media accounts claimed that both she and her half brother had died. She later came out to say this was not true, but she was reported at the time to be 14 years old. OnlyFans has a strict 18 years and over policy for both content creators and followers. The platform asks for a person's address, government-issued identification card and bank account information as part of its age verification process. 'You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and access content on the OnlyFans platform as a Fan or as a Creator,' the website states. 'It is against our Terms of Service and our Acceptable Use Policy for anyone who is under 18 years old to view, access or post content on OnlyFans. We invest heavily in technology and human moderation teams to make sure this policy is followed. If anyone seeks to get around these policies and controls, OnlyFans will take appropriate action against them.'

Brad Pitt mourning death of his mother

Brad Pitt is mourning the loss of his mother, Jane Etta Pitt. She was 84. The actor's niece, Sydney Pitt, confirmed the news via Instagram today, sharing touching photos of the family matriarch. 'My sweet Grammy, Jane Etta, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier,' she captioned the tribute. 'If you knew Grammy, you knew she had the biggest heart. She cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked.' The Watering Souls founder continued, 'She taught me how to paint, how to be strong, how to lead with kindness, to love Jesus through everything, and to find joy in the smallest things. She made up the silliest games just to make us laugh, and she believed in fairness, in putting others first, and doing good simply because it was the right thing to do.' Sydney further reminisced about how every year before school, she would give the grandkids 'a special day' doing whatever they wanted to do. 'Mine usually started with banana splits for breakfast, hours of playing Trouble, a craft project obvi, riding every ride together at Silver Dollar City like the badass she was, dinner at Olive Garden with Papa, mini golf where she'd make a V with her feet to help me aim … (and somehow still beat me) and ending the night watching Paulie until we feel asleep,' she revealed. 'She could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it.' Sydney then admitted that she doesn't know how to 'move forward without her,' adding, 'But I know she's still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form.' 'We were truly blessed to have her to love on growing up and I know she lives on through each of us,' she concluded the tribute. Sources close to the family also confirmed the news with TMZ, telling the outlet that Jane passed away sometime this week. However, it's unclear when exactly. Pitt's reps declined to comment when Page Six reached out. Despite Pitt's fame, his mother maintained a fairly private life. However, she accompanied the actor to several red carpets through the years, including for the 2012 Academy Awards. Jane is survived by her husband, William Alvin Pitt, and her three kids, including the Fight Club actor, 61, as well as son Doug and daughter Julie.
