Aaron Phypers insists Denise Richards wasn't interested in their pets
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star turned up to the home in Calabasas, California where her estranged husband - who she has accused of domestic abuse - lives with his parents and brother on Sunday (03.08.25) in order to get one of her dogs after she accused the 52-year-old star of having another canine put to sleep without her knowledge.
And now Aaron has insisted the 54-year-old actress didn't have any involvement with the lives of any of their animals.
He told People magazine: "Denise hasn't interacted with the animals in two years and never has wanted knowledge or wanted to give her permission to any type of care for the animals."
And a source explained the dog who was euthanised was elderly and "suffering" due to health issues.
The insider said: 'Melanie, a sweet elder dog who Aaron loved, had late stage cancer and was suffering when he took her for help as the vet insisted the few days she had left being in pain were better met with putting her to sleep and off to heaven.
'It was a painful decision. To say she was 'put down' is hurtful.'
Denise currently has a restraining order in place against her estranged husband, ensuring he stays at least 100 yards away from her, so when she showed up to his house for the dog, he immediately left the property.
However, according to audio obtained by People, an emergency dispatcher said Aaron told them after leaving that he 'fears for his parents'.
According to TMZ, police were called when the Wild Things star barged in and demanded the dog, screaming at Aaron's parents 'to get out of the house and putting her finger in their faces', and allegedly "swinging at" Aaron's brother and "throwing mail" at him.
Although Aaron's family were 'terrified and very shaken up from the incident', police decided no crime had been committed and no arrests were made.
Aaron and Denise were married for six years before he filed for divorce on July 7.
She later accused him of physical abuse and was granted a temporary restraining order on July 16, though he has denied her claims.
He previously said: "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise - or anyone. These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect."

Selena Gomez helps Jennifer Aniston ‘lean into social media'
Jennifer Aniston has revealed Selena Gomez has helped her to 'lean into social media'. The 56-year-old actress joined Instagram in late 2019 to launch her hair conditioner LolaVie Glossing Detangler, and Jennifer has shared that the Only Murders in the Building star, 33, has been an 'angel' when it comes to teaching her about her online presence. Speaking with People magazine, the former Friends star said: 'Selena helps me lean into social media. She's so effortless when it comes to that. 'And she's just an angel who I love spending time with.' Jennifer added her Friends co-star Courteney Cox - who also has her own body and home range called Homecourt - had given her a helping hand when it comes to product design. She continued: 'What haven't I learned from Courteney? 'We usually talk interviews or design. It kind of bores people to tears when we get into a room together. But it's what we love. It's our love language.' Although she uses social media to promote her beauty range, The Morning Show actress is determined not to fall into the trap of 'doomscrolling'. She explained: 'I've been trying not to doomscroll. I try to stay away from the noise as much as possible. 'Thankfully, my algorithm is animals, architecture, hair and spiritual affirmations. So it's not that doomy.' Away from work, Jennifer revealed the routine she has to unwind when she gets home. She shared: 'I come home, I'm with my dogs. I'll put on music. I'll talk to some friends on the phone, like people used to do. 'I like to just zone out to a great documentary, find something that's going to be light on my heart and make me laugh. Maybe have friends over for dinner.' Jennifer added she wants to 'focus on the beautiful things' in life and where she can make a difference. She said: 'I try to focus on the beautiful things that are happening in life and where I can contribute. 'There are certain things that are out of our control and out of our power, which is quite frustrating. So, try not to dwell where you are handcuffed and can't do anything. 'I love my work, I love my dogs, I love my friends and I'm excited about creating new things.'

Rita Ora's plans face push-back from neighbours
Rita Ora is planning to build a futuristic gym in her garden. The 34-year-old pop star owns a Grade II-listed home in North London, but she's angered some locals residents with her plans to construct a gym in the sunken courtyard of the property. According to The Sun newspaper, an objection to Rita's plans reads: "Residents who chose this area for its tranquillity should not be forced to live with artificial lighting, amplified sound or loss of privacy." The residents fear that the plans could "generate conflict, complaints and even legal disputes". The objection continued: "Although acoustic insulation is mentioned, the inclusion of bifold doors suggests that music and voice projection could occur at any hour. "The neighbouring property has a strict rule prohibiting large gatherings or parties, adopted precisely to preserve peace and respect among neighbours. "This proposal undermines that shared understanding and carries the potential to generate conflict, complaints and even legal disputes." Meanwhile, Rita recently revealed that she wants to "celebrate [her] sexuality" through her new music. The pop star released her single Heat in June, and Rita suggested that it was a taste of things to come. The chart-topping singer told People: "The whole theme of this record is really about being instant [and] really direct with my messaging and stripping everything back behind me, production wise." Heat was co-written by Troye Sivan, and Rita admits that she has "a lot in common" with the music star. The singer - who is married to Hollywood film director Taika Waititi - shared: "I love his sexuality and the celebration he has with that. "I was really inspired for me and my womanhood to really kind of celebrate my sexuality, my sexiness and get back into my body, you know? And this really just embodied that." Rita hasn't released a new album since 2023, and she's now keen to reintroduce herself to the public. The pop star - who has been married to Taika since 2022 - said: "I just feel as if I have so many things to sort of remind the public with, especially my new fans. I kind of love the idea of explaining who I am again."
