UPDATE: In a shocking turn of events, Denise Richards’ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, is demanding half of her earnings from her OnlyFans account, according to new divorce filings made public October 20, 2023.
The documents, obtained by Page Six, reveal that Phypers, 53, alleges he played a crucial role in building Richards’ OnlyFans presence and claims ownership of the intellectual property rights to much of her content. In his filing in Los Angeles, he states, “she has cut me off from accessing that joint income that we earned together.”
Phypers is requesting that a judge award him “half of the OnlyFans income that is our joint income that we built and earned together, since I took the photographs and own the intellectual property rights.” He estimates that Richards, 54, generates between $200,000 and $300,000 per month on the platform, which she joined in 2022.
The urgency of Phypers’ claim is underscored by his assertion that he is “about to be evicted” due to financial struggles, revealing he is “out of money and financially desperate,” having fallen behind on rent and utility bills.
Richards and Phypers’ tumultuous marriage has been marred by allegations of violence and substance abuse. Earlier in October 2023, Richards testified that Phypers became violent during her recovery from a cosmetic procedure in May, claiming she suffered “at least three concussions” and was left with a black eye.
“I saw Aaron hit Denise, and immediately, she had a really bad black eye,”
testified Kathleen McAllister, Phypers’ cousin, during the restraining order hearing. Richards previously received a temporary restraining order (TRO) against Phypers, which she seeks to make permanent.
In his defense, Phypers has denied all allegations of abuse, claiming Richards bruises easily and attributing her injuries to accidents. He stated, “I don’t abuse my wife,” while also accusing her of infidelity and substance misuse.
This latest development in their ongoing legal battle not only highlights the complexities of their divorce but also the financial stakes involved, as both parties grapple with the implications of their shared income through OnlyFans.
As this story continues to unfold, the public is left wondering how this high-profile divorce will impact Richards’ career and financial future. Fans and followers are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates as the legal proceedings progress.
With the clock ticking on their separation, all eyes will be on the courtroom as both sides prepare for what promises to be a contentious hearing ahead.
