Denise Richards‘ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, revealed a six-figure debt on Tuesday as he filed court documents regarding his monthly expenses in an effort to gain spousal support from the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star.
Nearly six months after filing for divorce after six years of marriage, Aaron, 53, shared his debt and expenses with the court, confirming that as he and Denise navigate their messy divorce, he is facing a total of $850,000 in debt.
As revealed in an report from Us Weekly on December 17, Aaron’s bills include “$15,000 on rent, $1,500 on health care, $4,800 on groceries and household supplies, $2,000 on eating out, $5,500 on utilities, $1,300 on cell phone, $3,200 on laundry and cleaning, $2,500 on clothes, $3,000 on auto expenses and another $61,000 on debt” each month.
Aaron also shared that his debt, per Us Weekly, “includes $180,000 owed to his landlord for back rent and repairs, $120,000 owed for back rent for his former office space, another $230,000 for a loan provided by a man named Tom McCormack, $250,000 owed to a company named High Velocity Admin, $50,000 to his lawyer, Michael Finely, and another $20,000 to another law firm.”
When he filed for divorce in July, Aaron alleged that Denise was making $250,000 per month from her OnlyFans account, appearances, and TV roles. Weeks later, she requested a restraining order against him, claiming he’d been physically abusive throughout their relationship and given her multiple black eyes, which he denied.
Amid a days-long hearing in regard to the alleged abuse, Aaron was arrested. And after Denise was granted a permanent restraining order against him, Aaron was charged with two felony counts of injuring a spouse and two felony counts of dissuading a witness by either force or threat.
As he faces years behind bars, Aaron is also facing two civil lawsuits over his debt, including a joint case against him and Denise from their landlord.
As RHOBH fans may have seen, Denise and Aaron were sued for unpaid rent on their previously shared mansion in Calabasas, California, which Denise moved out of in 2023.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
