For Denise Richards, if it is not broken, do not fix it!

The reality star has asked a judge to make sure that her financial records stay private, as she may eventually have to turn them over to her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, in their contentious divorce battle.

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers have slugged out their divorce for over a year in court, with the actress nailing a permanent restraining order against the frequency medicine practitioner due to his alleged abuse.

Inside Denise Richards’ Latest Plea For Privacy

The media personality made her wish for her earnings to be shrouded in secrecy known in court before she is ordered to turn in the information in their legal proceeding.

The 55-year-old reportedly filed the new petition due to the previous habit of her estranged husband allegedly spreading her private information to the media when they separated.

Richards expressed concerns about the confidentiality agreements made with some of the companies she has worked with who contributed to her earnings one way or the other, including “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” franchise.

She noted that making this information public will become a direct violation of that agreement, and also negatively affect her relationship with the cast members.

Richards continued that her ex may decide to leak the content in her financial document if there is no protective order barring him from making such a move. As stated by TMZ, Phypers had asked for documents connected to her pay from 32 Flavors Production, which produces the Bravo show.

The Bravo Star Previously Slammed Aaron Phypers For Spreading False Botched Surgery Rumors

In March, The Blast shared that Richards discussed her latest cosmetic procedure, a facelift, but admitted that she was forced to reveal it before her planned time due to her ex’s cunning ways. She noted that she spent months recovering from that facelift only for the secret to be blown open in the press.

She claimed that Phypers had tipped off the press about her beauty appointment where she was receiving microneedling treatments to help minimize her surgical scars, and the pictures got out. Richards alleged that her ex went further by fueling rumors that the facelift had turned out badly, which, according to her, was utterly false. 

Richards continued that she found herself at a crossroads about discussing the surgery publicly, but the news coming out made it necessary to address it. In retrospect, the reality star joked that she might have managed to keep the facelift a secret for longer. 

However, she acknowledged that the results were so noticeable that people may have eventually realized she had undergone cosmetic work anyway. The actress has embarked on an overhaul of her looks over the past year as part of a grand mission to reclaim her image amid her split from Phypers.

Denise Richards Faced A Five-Figure Financial Blow In Bitter Divorce Battle

Earlier in the year, the former couple’s divorce battle recorded another milestone as a judge gave an order for Richards to make temporary financial obligations into Phypers’ purse as their divorce continued. 

The Blast shared that the actress was ordered to remit $5,000 every month as temporary spousal support payment to Phypers. The judgment explained that payments will commence in March and be due on the fifth day of each month unless the court issues a new order.

The court also ordered the Bravo star to pay an additional $30,000 in related costs, with a breakdown of $25,000 to help cover Phypers’ attorney’s fees and $5,000 for a forensic accountant.

The payments will also be spread over three monthly installment plans of $10,000 from March through May. Right after the judgment was granted, Richards was spotted outside the courthouse appearing very relaxed compared to Aaron, who appeared pretty tense.

Aaron Phypers Claimed The ‘RHOBH’ Star Owed Him A Share Of OnlyFans Earnings 

Phypers first petitioned for spousal support since his divorce filing in July 2025 and again earlier this year, claiming he is in a difficult financial position. In court filings, Phypers claimed he no longer has a reliable source of income after his business operations were allegedly disrupted in late 2024. 

He explained that temporary spousal support must be allowed to ensure that both parties are financially stable during the divorce proceedings.

Phypers also maintained that decisions regarding temporary support should be based on financial need and each party’s ability to pay, rather than unresolved allegations or the eventual division of marital assets. 

He also argued that his pending criminal and domestic violence case should not affect his eligibility for support, since he has never been convicted for any crime. The financial issues with the couple are not limited to spousal support. 

According to Phypers, he should receive a portion of Denise Richards’ income from Onlyfans, arguing that numerous photos earning revenue are branded as created by him and thus his creative work. 

He also alleged that he was promised half of the production income from Smoke & Mirrors Entertainment, LLC for a television project but has received neither his alleged share of the profits nor an accounting of the company’s earnings. 

Denise Richards Opened Up About Cosmetic Surgery Journey Following On-Set Injury

Before revealing she had undergone a facelift, Richards opened up about another cosmetic procedure that followed a frightening on-set accident.

The actress previously disclosed that one of her breast implants ruptured while she was competing on Season 3 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” 

The injury required corrective surgery, marking another difficult chapter after experiencing ruptured implants in the past.

Richards gave credit to those who helped her get through, like her plastic surgeon and close friend Camille Grammer, who put her in touch with the specialist and offered support as she recovered.

She also shared snippets of her healing journey with her followers, stating that she was happy with the outcome and that she was feeling excited to regain her confidence.

The actress expressed her desire to be honest about her experience with breast implants and hoped she could share the challenges and recovery process with Grammer.
