Denise Richards Shared Her Extreme Views On Why She'd 'Never Get Divorced' Even If She And Her Husband, Aaron Phypers, Hated Each Other
Denise Richards has already been through one tricky divorce in her life, and it sounds like she has no intention of going through it again — no matter what.
As you may know, Denise was previously married to Charlie Sheen, with whom she shares two daughters, Sami and Lola. Charlie and Denise split in 2005, right before Lola's birth, and for a number of years, the pair were embroiled in a messy custody battle in which Denise accused her ex of ' inappropriate behavior.' Today, Charlie and Denise appear to be on good terms, and Denise is also happily married to Aaron Phypers, who she began dating in 2017 and wed a year later.
If you watched Denise on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you'd be very familiar with Aaron and their adopted daughter, Eloise. But if you're not in the know, you're in luck, as the couple have just launched a brand new reality show all about their family, Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, which premiered on Bravo this week.
In the first episode on Tuesday, Denise was joined by her friend and fellow RHOBH alum, Camille Grammer. Denise states that she and Camille first met over 20 years ago when Camille was married to Kelsey Grammer. 'At the time, her husband and Charlie, they would always be up against each other at every single award show because Frazier and Two and a Half Men were on at the same time,' she recalled. 'So we have the exes and the Housewives together.'
While driving together, Camille opened up about how difficult her 2010 split from Kelsey was, saying, 'I felt'like my whole world fell apart.' This prompted Denise to give her a take on tumultuous breakups and explain why she plans never to experience one again. 'The judgment from other people and being made out to be this awful woman,' she said. 'I'll never get divorced, even if we hate each other.'
In a joint confessional, Denise joked, 'It's not easy being married to me,' prompting Aaron to say: 'It is not, and she said it! But this is it. I'm done.' Making it clear they're on the same page about never splitting, Denise said, 'Even if we hate each other, I'm not gonna fucking get divorced,' to which Aaron suggested, 'We'll just have different homes or something.'

Where Is Erika Jayne's Ex Tom Girardi Now? Inside the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills 'Alum's Life 5 Years After His Fraud Scandal
In 2020, famed lawyer Tom Girardi was accused of stealing from clients Girardi was previously married to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, who filed for divorce in 2020 On June 3, Girardi was sentenced to seven years in prisonTom Girardi was once a powerhouse attorney known for suing large corporations and extracting huge settlements for his clients. Now, he will go to prison for seven years for stealing from them. On June 3, Girardi was sentenced by a federal judge in the Central District of California. In August 2024, he was convicted of four counts of wire fraud after embezzling millions from his clients. Girardi — who was portrayed in the 2000 film Erin Brockovich — began experiencing his personal and professional downfall in late 2020. That November, his wife of 21 years, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, filed for divorce. Within the next month, the once-famed lawyer found himself in the center of a complicated web of legal controversies: He was accused of stealing client funds for his own personal spending; he was sued by his former law firm partners; and his law firm, Girardi Keese, was forced into involuntary bankruptcy. Girardi was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's Disease in March 2021, and placed under the conservatorship of his younger brother, Robert, in July. In 2022, Girardi was officially disbarred by the state of California after being investigated for more than 200 disciplinary matters over his 40-year law career. In February 2023, he was indicted by two separate federal grand juries — one in Los Angeles and one in Chicago — for allegedly misappropriating $18 million in client settlement money, according to the Los Angeles Times. (A judge later dismissed the charges in the Chicago case ahead of his California sentencing, per Reuters.) Here is everything to know about where Tom Girardi is now — from the status of his legal woes to his future behind bars. After Girardi was indicted on five counts of wire fraud by a federal jury in California in February 2023, his legal team argued that the disbarred lawyer was incompetent to stand trial due to his declining mental state. But in January 2024, a judge declared Girardi competent to stand trial. During Girardi's 13-day 2024 trial, Girardi spoke publicly about the fraud and embezzlement charges against him for the first time when he took the stand to testify in his own defense. According to the Los Angeles Times, the disgraced lawyer denied any wrongdoing while testifying, insisting that 'every client got every penny that every client was supposed to get.' Girardi and his lawyers attempted to shift the blame to Christopher Kamon, the CFO of the now-closed law firm. In their closing arguments, Girardi's defense team portrayed their client as an 'elderly man with cognitive decline' and alleged that the theft of client money was 'Mr. Kamon's scheme,' the Los Angeles Times reported. Prosecutors, however, painted Girardi as the 'thief in chief' who ran a 'house of cards ... built on lies.' In 2024, Girardi was found guilty of embezzling more than $15 million from his clients over a span of 10 years. The jury deliberated for just four hours, according to the Los Angeles Times, and voted to convict Girardi on four counts of federal wire fraud. One juror, Miguel Lopez, said that the verdict 'wasn't a hard decision,' per the Los Angeles Times. 'Tom Girardi built celebrity status and lured in victims by falsely portraying himself as a 'Champion of Justice,' ' United States Attorney Martin Estrada said in a statement following the guilty verdict. 'In reality, he was a Robin-Hood-in-reverse, stealing from the needy to support a lavish, Hollywood lifestyle. Today's verdict shows that the game is up — we can all now see this defendant for what he was and the victims he callously betrayed.' On June 3, Girardi was sentenced to seven years in prison, after facing up to 80 years. He was also ordered to pay $2.3 million in restitution to victims and a $35,000 fine, according to NBC News. U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton issued the sentence, decrying Girardi for using clients' settlement money on "private jets and country clubs," per the Los Angeles Times. In a victim impact statement, Joseph Ruigomez — who enlisted Girardi's help after suffering burns over 90% of his body in a 2010 gas line explosion — said that Girardi was 'supposed to be a beacon of hope.' Instead, the case turned into a years-long 'a nightmare,' according to the Los Angeles Times. Erika spoke out on her former husband's legal woes in an interview with Extra's Billy Bush in November 2024. 'Tom was convicted and that was hard,' she said. 'You know, it's hard to see someone that you loved and respected and honored end like this." She continued, 'But I also really have to let go and move on. There's nothing left for me there, I can do nothing about it. It's beyond my control. But what I can control is the future of my life.' Erika filed for divorce from Girardi in November 2020 after 21 years of marriage. While they are legally separated, their divorce has stalled due to Girardi's conservatorship and legal troubles. Girardi has been ordered to surrender to authorities by July 17, according to The Guardian. Girardi's lawyers have plans to appeal his conviction, per the Los Angeles Times.

The estranged husband of a 'Real Housewives' star was sentenced for embezzling tens of millions from clients of his law firm
Tom Girardi was sentenced on Tuesday to more than seven years in prison for embezzling millions from clients. He was found guilty by a jury of four counts of wire fraud last year. Girardi diverted more than $25 million to his wife Erika Jayne's entertainment company, the US Attorney's office said A lawyer and estranged husband of a "Real Housewives" star was sentenced on Tuesday for leading a yearslong scheme that involved embezzling tens of millions of dollars in settlement payments from the clients of his law firm. Thomas Girardi, 86, was sentenced to seven years and three months in federal prison and ordered to pay about $2.3 million in restitution and a $35,000 fine by US District Judge Josephine L. Staton. She ordered Girardi to surrender to federal authorities by July 17. Girardi was charged in federal court last year in Chicago with eight counts of wire fraud and four counts of contempt of court for embezzling millions in settlement money. He was found guilty by a jury in August 2024 of four counts of wire fraud. Girardi, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, was a personal injury attorney and ran the now-defunct law firm, Girardi Keese, in Los Angeles. The US Attorney's office for the Central District of California said in a statement that Girardi stole millions of dollars in client settlement funds and failed to make payments to the firm's clients, some of whom had suffered serious injuries in accidents. United States Attorney Bill Essayli said: "This self-proclaimed 'champion of justice' was nothing more than a thief and a liar who conned his vulnerable clients out of millions of dollars." Girardi was known for taking on powerful corporations in high-profile cases. One lawsuit against California's Pacific Gas and Electric utility led to a $333 million settlement and was depicted in the 2000 film "Erin Brockovich" that starred Julia Roberts. The US Attorney's office said one client who suffered severe burns all over his body when a natural gas pipeline exploded in California in 2010 received just $2.5 million of a $53 million settlement. The US Attorney's office said Girardi diverted more than $25 million to cover expenses for EJ Global, his estranged wife Erika Jayne's performance and entertainment company. Jayne, who appears in Bravo's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has denied any involvement and was not charged. Girardi Keese was forced into involuntary bankruptcy in late 2020 and the State Bar of California disbarred Girardi in July 2022. Christopher Kamon, the former head of Girardi Keese's accounting department, was sentenced in April to 10 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to two counts of wire fraud. He was a co-conspirator in facilitating the embezzlement and falsifying financial records and was ordered to repay nearly $9 million. Read the original article on Business Insider
