Beautiful Denise Richards was blindsided by husband Aaron Phypers’ shocking divorce filing — and now The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum is dreading the prospect of getting taken to the cleaners by her ex, sources say.
Not only is Aaron, 52, angling to cash in at 54-year-old Denise’s expense, he’s also adding the insult of plotting a humiliating tell-all about their six-year marriage, insiders confide.
“This divorce is getting nasty very quickly as he’s demanding a fortune from Denise,” an insider says.
The wellness guru says he has no income and didn’t list any assets, property or money in the bank and is seeking spousal support, according to divorce papers cited by Us Weekly, which were filed July 7 in Los Angeles Superior Court.
“I had to close down my business last year and have made [no] income since,” he explains in the petition, as per the outlet’s report.
Aaron shuttered his Malibu wellness center, Quantum 360, after being sued for alleged fraud by a late patient’s widower in a case that’s ongoing.
Now, he’s asserting that his soon-to-be ex-wife earns over $250,000 a month from her OnlyFans account, promotions and reality shows — such as the recently wrapped Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
Aaron listed his monthly expenses at a whopping $105,000 — including $8,000 for utilities, $10,000 for groceries, $15,000 for dining out, $5,000 for laundry and $20,000 for clothes.
“Denise is obviously telling people that there’s no way she earns $250K a month,” the insider says. “The expenses he’s detailed are insane, but he’s saying he’s got receipts … and he’s got a strong lawyer.”
The insider says Aaron also has the ability to make the split even messier — by dishing dirt on Denise and their marriage — as he’s been “taking notes.”
The insider adds, “Denise can squawk and balk all she wants, but he says she needs to pay up. No one would be surprised if he goes for at least half of her $6 million fortune.”
“She’s willing to fight tooth and nail to make sure he doesn’t walk like a bandit with her cash.”
