Denise Richards' Ex-Husband Faces Serious Charges

Aaron Phypers, the estranged husband of actress Denise Richards, found himself in hot water after being arrested outside a courtroom. The charges? Two counts of felony spousal injury and two counts of intimidating a witness, all of which come with a hefty $200, 000 bail. The drama unfolded during a heated court hearing where Denise sought a permanent restraining order against Aaron. Things took a turn when Aaron's mother took the stand, claiming she saw Denise throw a can opener at her son. She also denied any history of abuse or threats from Aaron, contradicting Denise's repeated allegations. Aaron's lawyer, Michael Finley, insists his client was unaware of the warrant and accused Denise and her legal team of orchestrating the whole scenario. Despite the serious charges, Aaron managed to post bond and was released the same night. This latest incident is just another chapter in the messy divorce battle between the two, which began when Aaron filed for divorce in July. The case has been anything but smooth, with both sides throwing accusations and counter-accusations.
