Aaron Phypers‘ family, including mom Patricia Phypers and brother Brett Phypers, started a GoFundMe campaign in December as he faced homelessness amid his messy split from Denise Richards.
Weeks before the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and the 53-year-old former wellness center owner were evicted from their $3 million home in Calabasas, California, due to unpaid rent, the Phypers family launched a plea.
“Please Help My Son Aaron — A Grandmother Begging for Justice and for the Little Girl Torn From Our Lives,” read the title of the GoFundMe campaign, which was created on December 4.
The page, which has a goal of $110,000, with $1,300 from eight donations thus far, also featured a personal message from Patricia.
“I am a mother and a grandmother begging the public for help. My son, Aaron Phypers, has been destroyed by false allegations, Hollywood power, and a system determined to silence him. But the deepest wound is the loss of his daughter — my granddaughter — Eloise,” she wrote. “She was our light. She adored her daddy. And overnight, she was taken from him… and from us… without truth, without justice, without mercy.”
As RHOBH fans may know, Denise adopted Eloise in 2011. And while Aaron began the process of adopting her himself, it never went through.
According to Patricia, she made moves to help Denise at a time of need.
“I was brought in to hold a collapsing home together — 36 dogs, 5 cats, endless responsibilities, all hidden from the landlord,” she detailed. “I spent my small pension on vet bills, food, and care because no one else would. My son Brett and I were put in impossible, unlawful situations to cover for fraud we never created.”
“And through it all, I cared for Eloise for weeks, loving her, protecting her, giving her stability while my Daughter in-law traveled. I even cared for her older daughters’ cats because they wouldn’t bother,” she continued. “Now my son — the man who carried this entire household — has been cut off, slandered, starved, wrongfully arrested, and left with nothing. No income. No home. No ability to fight back. And no access to the daughter who needs him.”

In addition to noting that they were facing eviction at that time, Patricia said her utilities were being cut off.
“My pension is gone. We are out of options,” she wrote. “Please — if you have ever loved a child or grandchild — help my son fight for the truth and for Eloise. Your support may be the only thing that saves him.”
Meanwhile, in a post shared to her Instagram page in honor of the New Year, Denise looked back on what she said was one of her “most painful years.”
“Looking back at all the photos & videos I have of 2025, it feels like I’m looking at two different people & lived two different lives,” she began on January 1. “I will never forget this year, one of the most painful years I’ve lived. The year of the snake … a year of shedding.”
“A year of letting go, truths being exposed. As painful as it is, I’m so grateful for the clarity,” Denise continued. “I shed [a lot] of tears and felt pain & betrayal I never knew existed. I couldn’t have gotten through this year if it weren’t for my family, old & new friends, this community, those of you I work with … I’m so thankful you all got me through it.”
“I’m finally starting to feel like me again, only better,” she added.
