Denise Richards' Divorce Takes An Uglier Turn Involving Calling The Cops
The estranged couple got into it yesterday after the actress reportedly broke a restraining order by showing up at her ex-husband's home to pick up a pet.
Denise Richards and Aaron Phyper's ongoing divorce has been filled with various episodes, including claims of domestic abuse, infidelity, and invasion of privacy.
Denise Richards' Ex-Husband Was Concerned About Restraining Order Violation
According to Phypers, the actress showed up on the property to pick up a dog, prompting him to call the police. Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies were invited into the home in Calabasas, where he resides with his parents and brother.
Richards reportedly came into the house without prior notification and entered the home around the back, knocking incessantly on the door and asking to be let inside the building.
Phypers confirmed that the actress was eventually let in, and she displayed unruly behavior to everyone indoors, including his brother, whom she threw mail at.
When the three deputies arrived, Richards reportedly told them she just wanted to get their dog. The actress's ex noted that her presence in the house disregarded her current restraining order against him.
TMZ affirmed that no arrests were made as no crime was reportedly committed in the process. However, according to sources close to the estranged couple, Aaron and his mother were seemingly affected by the incident.
Richards Made Leaked Confidential Information Claims
Last week, The Blast noted that Richards filed a motion in court that her estranged husband distressed her by leaking private content on her devices to the media. The devices in question include cellphones, laptops, and other recordings that Phypers allegedly stole without her consent.
She claimed that the actor had already started sharing private content from the devices in his possession to various news organizations on several occasions.
The content leaked includes an image of her with her breast exposed and another of her bare buttocks, which has been used in a publication by one media outlet.
She asked the court in her motion to compel her estranged husband to return all her devices that he took and also caution him from distributing any content from the phones, laptops, and the recordings that are missing.
Richards stated that her ex-husband's accessing of her private information is an abuse and violation of the temporary restraining order, while the dissemination of nude photographs is a criminal act.
Inside The Estranged Couple's Big July 4 Blowout
The wrong sparks flew in the air on that auspicious day in American history for the couple who spent the day bickering over an alleged affair between Richards and a man identified as Rudy Reyes.
Richards and Reyes reportedly began an affair after they met on Fox TV's "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test." Their conversation, which Phypers discovered after accessing his estranged wife's devices, included hotel meet-ups and explicit images of the duo.
The initial episode of discovery ended with Richards apologizing for her misdeeds and promising to end her relationship with Reyes.
However, Phypers shared that he could not conceal his disappointment and disgust when he realized that his wife and Reyes had made plans to meet up at an inn the month after he caught her.
When he confronted her on his latest discovery, she reportedly responded by smashing his phone on the floor, prompting Phypers to pull the plug on the marriage.
Denise Richards' Alleged Addiction And Alcoholism Addressed By Aaron Phypers
The complex situation between the former couple took another nasty turn when the former Bravo star leveled hefty claims of domestic violence against her estranged husband. According to her, the actor often attacked her while they were married.
Richards added that he would sometimes choke her or slap her across the face, and on one occasion, he allegedly slammed her head into a bathroom rack.
The "Dirty Hands" actor vehemently denied the claims, noting that his estranged wife suffered from alcohol and substance addiction, which caused her to fall down the stairs at the clinic, giving her a black eye.
He also referred to her habit of slurring words during her time on "RHOBH" as proof of her relationship with alcohol and drugs. Sources close to the duo had claimed that the estranged couple's marriage had long descended into a case of love to hatred, stating:
"All they were doing was fighting. It was very toxic. Denise is both devastated and relieved at the same time. She is mentally exhausted from the fighting, and she is glad that's over."
Richards Launched A New Look On Social Media Amid Divorce Drama
It might be a bad day for the screen goddess, but it is not a bad life. The actress went under the skilled hands of celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan to give her hair a befitting cut and a luxurious lift.
As reported by The Blast, Richards looked youthful in an olive green overall look paired with a bright pink sleeveless top and her silk wavy hair that framed her perfect face.
The actress was all smiles alongside McMillan in the Instagram picture, who declared how excited he was to work on her hair and create these loose, long layers that complemented her "big blue eyes and infectious smile."
McMillan described the media personality as one of the kindest people he has known for about three decades, with nothing but love and laughter any time they teamed up to style her hair.
Richards' husband of about six years dropped the Divorce bomb on her on July 7 when he dashed to court to legally end their union, citing July 4 as their official separation date.

US military preparing to surge National Guard troops to Washington DC to fight local crime and youth violence: report
The US military is preparing to activate hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, DC as a part of President Trump's sweeping federal crackdown on crime in the nation's capital, according to authorities. Trump has yet to make a final decision about the activation of federal troops, but the National Guard is currently readying to deploy them, two US officials with knowledge of the operation confirmed to Reuters. 3 The US military is preparing to activate hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, DC as a part of President Trump's sweeping federal crackdown on crime in the nation's capital. Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images The preparation comes as 120 FBI agents from across the country have already begun patrolling DC streets overnight and backing up area cops at carjacking hot spots, despite many lacking local patrol work training, The Washington Post reported. 'Be prepared! There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.' We want our Capital BACK,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social Sunday ahead of a planned White House press conference Monday morning about the city's cleanliness and general condition. The possible order follows Trump's 'Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful' executive order signed on March 28, which established a task force dedicated to fighting crime and reducing illegal immigration in the city. 'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong,' Trump wrote in the social media post — comparing the action to his illegal immigration crackdown at the border. 'The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive,' Trump said in a different post Sunday. 3 'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY.

YURI GRIPAS/POOL/EPA/Shutterstock Bowser has since fought back on Trump's characterization of the city. 'If the priority is to show force in an American city, we know he can do that here,' Bowser said on MSNBC Sunday morning. 'But it won't be because there's a spike in crime.' Violent crime is down 26% compared with this time in 2024, according to DC police data, and there have been roughly 20% fewer juvenile arrests this year, the Washington Post reported. However, the White House isn't backing down — noting that the city's 'been plagued by petty and violent crime for far too long,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.. US Park Police arrested more than half a dozen perps in the capital on charges including possession of stolen firearms and illicit drugs as part of a federal crackdown launched by the Trump administration Thursday to clean up the nation's capital. Eight culprits were arrested in the surge and two handguns were confiscated from offenders with prior felony convictions, Park Police Fraternal Order of Police chairman Kenneth Spencer told The Post Friday. At least 30 'fraudulent oxycodone pills' — which appeared to be fentanyl — were also seized, along with 210 grams of crack cocaine, 600 grams of marijuana, 64 grams of hashish oil and cash with a total value of $3,600, Spencer added. 3 The show of force was in part sparked by the assault of a 19-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer who was beaten and bloodied by a mob of 10 minors last Sunday. Truth Social/@realDonaldTrump The show of force was in part sparked by the beating of a 19-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer who was beaten and bloodied by a mob of 10 minors last Sunday as he thwarted a carjacking attempt in the nation's capital, according to DC police. Edward Coristine, whose LinkedIn handle earned him the nickname 'Big Balls' at DOGE, was with a woman near downtown DC when he saw the group of juveniles approach their car and 'make a comment about taking the vehicle. Trump and Coristine's former boss Elon Musk shared a photograph of the aftermath of the assault on Coristine early Tuesday afternoon, showing the former DOGE staffer sitting on the ground, bloodied and with his ripped shirt barely hanging on his body. Critics and residents have fired back at Trump's sweeping crackdown and removal of the homeless as inhumane. 'That money could be better spent getting folks housing and support,' Jesse Rabinowitz, campaign and communications director at the National Homelessness Law Center, told the Washington Post. It is not yet clear what exactly federal troops would do, but they could be deployed to protect federal agents or even carry out administrative tasks to free up law enforcement, officials said.

Ex-Superman Dean Cain Joins ICE, Social Media Cooks Super Lame
Source: DOMINIC GWINN / Getty Former 'Superman' actor Dean Cain announced that he's joined ICE, leading to unsurprised replies and jabs from social media. As the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has wreaked havoc in the United States in line with President Donald Trump's agenda towards immigrants, conservative actor and former 'Superman' star Dean Cain has announced that he's joined ICE. He spoke about joining the agency while appearing on Fox News' Jesse Watters Primetime on Wednesday (August 6), revealing that his posting of a recruitment video led to his ultimately signing up. 'I'm actually… a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer – I wasn't part of ICE, but once I put that (the recruitment video) out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy,' Cain said to Watters. 'So now I've spoken with some officials over at ICE and I will be sworn in as an ICE agent ASAP.' Cain is a sworn sheriff's deputy in Frederick County, Virginia and has served as a reserve officer in two Idaho counties in 2018 and 2019. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The former Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman star continued, 'This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing. I truly believe this is the right thing.' He added that it was what Trump ran on, and 'It's what I voted for and he's going to see it through, and I'll do my part and help make sure it happens.' The announcement earned Cain an overwhelming amount of scorn online. The 59-year-old has been a staunch conservative for years as well as an avid supporter of Trump. Many weren't surprised at the actor's moves, with media personality Van Lathan dismissing fellow panelist Scott Jennings' defense of him on CNN: 'Scott, it's not 1995. No one gives a sad hell what Dean Cain thinks. Dean needs the $50,000 – that's what got him off the couch.' Others pointed out how Cain is willfully joining an agency who has been consistently criticized for its aggressive mass deportations and arrests nationwide placing people in detention camps, recalling the actor's detailing of how his Japanese-American relatives on his father's side of the family were in the Minidoka War Relocation Center in Idaho during World War II.
