Denise Richards was allegedly involved in a 'manipulative' and 'intense' off-camera relationship with her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, while filming Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
'You could cut tension with a knife sometimes,' an insider claimed to the Daily Mail on Sunday, explaining that the exes were 'passive-aggressive' with each other and would go into separate rooms when the cameras stopped rolling.
According to the source, allegedly filming the duo the morning after a night of fighting was difficult because they 'wouldn't speak to each other off camera' despite appearing supportive on TV, reports Page Six.

The insider claimed Richards, 54, once messed up a scene and Phypers allegedly said, 'Menopause.'
The businessman's alleged comments toward the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum made the crew uncomfortable, the source claimed.
Per the source, Phypers, 52, appeared 'very threatened' by his estranged wife's success and was allegedly 'trying to prove that he was superior.'
'Aaron walked around as if he was the biggest star on the planet when we were filming,' another source told the outlet.
Reps for Richards and Phypers did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
While Richards and Phypers put on a united front for their audience, their tense relationship was previously shown on a season ten episode of RHOBH.
A resurfaced clip showed the TV personality and Phypers holding hands, as she warned him not to 'say a f**king word.'
'Don't tell me what to say. I'm going to crush your f**king hand. Stop it,' he aggressively responded.

News broke earlier this month that Phypers filed for divorce from Richards after six years of marriage.
At the time, an insider told the outlet that the duo 'have been having trouble for some time' and those close to them saw it coming.
Richards has since accused Phypers of abuse and was granted a temporary restraining order against him after alleging he threatened to kill her and himself if she reported him to police, per court documents obtained by Page Six.
The Bravo alum also alleged that her ex gave her a black eye in 2022.
Phypers, however, denied the allegations, telling People that the allegations were 'completely false and deeply hurtful.'
He also accused Richards of infidelity.

‘Nash Potato': World's most premature baby turns one

Nash Keen defied incredible odds to make it to his first birthday and now he is a record holder, officially named the world's most premature baby. The tiny fighter, who his parents affectionately call 'Nash Potato', was born at 21 weeks, weighing just 283 grams and 24cm long. No other baby has ever survived being born so early and Nash now holds the Guinness World Record, taking the title previously held by Curtis Means, who was born at 21 weeks and 1 day. Nash Keen was born 133 days before his due date. Credit: Unknown / Instagram Nash had to be resuscitated when he was born July 5, 2024 and spent 189 days in hospital. His mother Mollie Keen said the past 12 months had been 'surreal'. 'It feels surreal, honestly. A year ago, we weren't sure what the future would look like, and now we've celebrated his first birthday, she told Guinness World Records. 'It's emotional in so many ways: pride, gratitude, even some grief for how different his journey has been. But above all, it feels like a victory.' She continued, 'Nash isn't just a record breaker – he's a heart-stealer. From the very beginning, our family and friends rallied behind him, and as his story spread, so did the love.'

Credit: Unknown / Guiness World Records Ms Keen and husband Randall marked Nash's milestone with a birthday party attended by family and close friends in Ankeny, Iowa. While pregnant, Ms Keen was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix, which meant it could dilate prematurely, and had a preventative stitch in a bid to keep Nash in the womb. But it had to be removed when she was rushed to hospital at 20 weeks when contractions started. Patrick McNamara, the director of neonatology at University of Iowa's Stead Family Children's Hospital, told Iowa Public Radio he was 'incredibly blunt' with Nash's parents. 'I told them the survival chance was zero, because no one had ever survived at 21-plus-zero. So, by the laws of life, there has not been a survivor. However, we would do everything we could in our power to change that paradigm.' Nash has overcome many challenges. Credit: Unknown / Instagram After a shaky start where Nash had to be resuscitated and had a breathing tube, his heart rate and oxygen levels stabilised, giving hope he could survive. Doctors credited advanced ultrasound technology that helped care for Nash and identify any early health issues. 'People come from all across the world to learn how we take care of extremely preterm babies and how we use hemodynamics to provide better information to understand what's going wrong with these babies,' Dr McNamara said. Nash Keen is now being recognised as the most premature baby on record, according to Guinness World Records. Credit: Unknown / Instagram Nash was diagnosed with chronic pulmonary hypertension and mild permanent hearing loss. And, while he still returns to the hospital for appointments, the amount of oxygen treatment Nash needs is falling and he could come off it soon. 'He's so full of personality,' Ms Keen said. 'He's happy. He kicks his legs all the time. He might be a little delayed in some milestones, but I expect him, by maybe 2 or even just before Kindergarten, that he'll be right alongside his peers. It's really a joy to see how far he's come.'

Rebel Wilson ‘deliberately undermined' her own film, new lawsuit claims

Now Holden's production company A.I Film – which splits the rights to The Deb with Wilson and her mother via her company Camp Sugar – has filed its own case in the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday morning. A.I's legal team, Patrick George, Jeremy Marel and barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC, allege in filings that Wilson knowingly spread false information online and breached her contractual duties, effectively blocking the film's launch. 'Wilson threatened the Australian distributor of the film that she would obtain an injunction to prevent its release, when the contractual documents plainly prevented her from obtaining an injunction,' the lawsuit documents obtained by the Herald allege. 'As a result of that threat, the Australian distributor withdrew its proposal to distribute the film.' A major part of the long-running battle over The Deb is Wilson's public allegations of sexual misconduct by a producer towards MacInnes in a Bondi penthouse. 'Making false accusations undermines real victims and I won't be the subject of a fabricated narrative.' The Deb star Charlotte MacInnes MacInnes, according to the lawsuit, has denied any misconduct took place. 'Making false accusations undermines real victims and I won't be the subject of a fabricated narrative,' MacInnes is quoted as saying in the lawsuit. But in September last year, Wilson allegedly used the official Instagram account of The Deb to double down on the claims, saying a producer asked MacInnes to shower with them. 'The fact this girl has been employed now by this 'producer' in the lead role of production … and given a record label – should be all the proof you need as to why she has now changed her story,' Wilson wrote. In May this year, Wilson allegedly accused the 25-year-old lead actress of lies and supporting the producers, after she was filmed singing Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club aboard a billionaire's yacht at the Cannes Film Festival. 'Charlotte MacInnes in a culturally inappropriate Indian outfit on Len Blavatnik's luxury yacht in Cannes – ironically singing a song from a movie that will never get released because of her lies and support for the people blocking the film's release,' Wilson allegedly wrote. 'So glad you got your record deal Charlotte at the expense of the 300 people who worked on The Deb and really wanna see it released.' On Thursday, MacInnes told the Herald she just wants The Deb to be released. 'I love this film and I can't wait for it to be released. It would be wonderful if these proceedings can help make that happen,' MacInnes said in a statement. The Australian lawsuit is seeking damages, an apology and corrective advertising at the expense of Wilson or her company, Camp Sugar. Sources close to the case believe the dispute overshadowing the film is tied to the Australian Writers Guild's (AWG) choice not to award Wilson a writing credit for the film. The Deb was written for the stage by Hannah Reilly, and it was Reilly who received the sole screenplay credit for the film. Loading Lawyers in the US defamation case say Wilson's 'obsession with taking credit … at the expense of young, talented women' has morphed into a smear campaign against others working on the film. 'What followed [the Australian Writers Guild ruling] has been a series of personal attacks and false accusations, most recently targeting Charlotte – who I cast in the original stage production,' Reilly told Variety Australia this year. A.I Film told the Herald that the movie, and the hard work of the hundreds involved, should be seen 'far and wide'. 'These proceedings are regrettable but essential to ensure The Deb 's timely release. It's a joyous, fun film, and we are sure that audiences are going to love it,' the A.I statement read.
