RHOBH’s Denise Richards Accuses Aaron Phypers of Leaking Her Nude Photos, Claims He Committed “Criminal Act”

Denise Richards ran to court on Monday to request that her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, be ordered to return her laptop and refrain from leaking any more images or information from it to the press.

Also suggesting Aaron, 52, “repeatedly” violated the temporary restraining order she was granted against him earlier this month, the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum accused Aaron of leaking nude images and private text messages without her consent.

In her July 28 filing, which was obtained by Us Weekly, Denise said Aaron committed a crime when he “[disseminated] to numerous new organizations on multiple occasions … private information from my laptop (including text messages and nude photographs of me) that he stole.”

Denise’s motion demands that Aaron give her laptop and other devices back, along with all of her images, text messages, and recordings, by the end of the day on Monday.

While Denise was granted a restraining order against Aaron after accusing him of horrific abuse earlier this month, the court did not grant her request for Aaron to be kept from her devices at that time. 

As she asked for help from the court, Denise signaled a recent interview Aaron participated in, during which he admitted to going through her texts. Aaron also participated in another interview in which he accused her of cheating on him with her Special Forces co-star, Rudy Rayes, and leaked other “stolen” photos and messages from her device to prove his claims.

Images in the story included “a picture of me with my breast completely exposed and another picture of my buttocks. Another picture in the article is a picture of my phone being held by Aaron’s hand with my private text messages,” she shared, adding that Aaron had told press he discovered over 100 “raunchy text messages” on her phone.

Following the sharing of her private information, Denise’s lawyer sent Aaron a warning about sharing her private information and other content.

“I am in extreme distress and greatly disturbed since Aaron has been repeatedly disseminating private text messages stolen from my laptop after the TRO has been issued and I have warned him numerous times not to disseminate any information from my cell phone or laptop,” she said. “Aaron accessing my private information on my laptop and disseminating the information is not only abuse and a violation of the TRO, but the disseminating of nude photographs is a criminal act.”

In response to the claims against him, Aaron released a statement to Us Weekly.

“I absolutely deny the false allegations that I violated the restraining order or stole Denise’s laptop or cell phones. These claims are not only untrue — they are being weaponized to damage my reputation and distract from the truth,” he alleged.

The judge has yet to make a ruling on Denise’s latest motion against her estranged spouse.
