Denise Richards, a well-known actress, has recently made shocking claims against her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers. Richards stated that Phypers caused her ‘at least 3 concussions’ during their tumultuous relationship. These claims were made during her testimony in court on Oct. 7 as part of a hearing concerning a temporary restraining order that Richards had secured against Phypers in July. Despite Richards’ allegations, Phypers has vehemently denied all accusations of abuse levelled against him.

Richards, 54, revealed in a court filing that Phypers reportedly caused her multiple concussions by using equipment at his wellness centre to diagnose her after she complained of headaches, feeling unwell, and nausea. She detailed specific incidents that led to these concussions, including one where she ended up with a black eye and another where Phypers allegedly slammed her head against a concrete wall in a violent encounter. The third concussion, Richards claimed, occurred in April 2025 when Phypers allegedly squeezed her head so forcefully that she felt like her skull was being crushed.
During her court testimony, Richards narrated how Phypers’ behaviour became increasingly aggressive, with incidents escalating to physical altercations. She described feeling vulnerable and scared as Phypers allegedly resorted to name-calling, physical intimidation, and threats. Richards also mentioned an incident in a Chicago hotel where Phypers reportedly grabbed her and caused significant distress. Despite the alleged abuse, Richards admitted under cross-examination that she did not involve law enforcement in any of the incidents she described.
Phypers, on the other hand, has strongly refuted all claims of abuse made by Richards. In a previous statement, he emphasised that he has never engaged in any form of physical or emotional abuse towards her or anyone else. Phypers also highlighted that their marriage, like many others, faced challenges but maintained that any accusations of abuse were entirely false and hurtful. He further alleged that Richards exhibited harassing behaviour towards him and his family members after the temporary restraining order was put in place.
The ongoing legal battle between Richards and Phypers has garnered significant attention, with both parties presenting conflicting narratives of their tumultuous relationship. Richards’ allegations of sustained abuse and violence stand in stark contrast to Phypers’ steadfast denial of such behaviour. The courtroom drama has unfolded with emotional testimonies and detailed accounts of alleged incidents, painting a harrowing picture of a once seemingly serene partnership that has now turned acrimonious and contentious.
It is crucial to note that domestic violence remains a serious issue that affects individuals irrespective of their status or background. The complexities of relationships, especially those under the glare of public scrutiny, underscore the importance of addressing such allegations with sensitivity and impartiality. As the legal proceedings continue, the truth behind the disturbing claims made by Denise Richards against Aaron Phypers remains to be unravelled, highlighting the need for a thorough and fair investigation into the matter.
