Weeks after Aaron Phypers filed for divorce from Denise Richards, truly disturbing updates continue to come out involving the estranged couple’s relationship. After the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was granted a temporary restraining order against Aaron last week, a letter he wrote to friends and family has become public, and in it, he’s accusing his wife of drug addiction and having an affair.
The letter was written to friends and family of the couple.
In the letter, which was obtained by Page Six, Aaron claimed that Denise has “struggled with an addiction to Vicodin (which she jokingly calls ‘Vitamin D’ or ‘white chestnuts’), mixed with Adderall and tequila” for nearly 10 years, and now it’s reportedly starting to affect her teenage daughter Eloise.
“Some of you know this has been an issue for over 20 years. She’s no longer eating real meals, and I’ve witnessed her pass out from substances — putting herself and others in danger, including while driving with our daughter,” he wrote in the letter.
He claimed she had an affair and has been stalking him since their split.
Elsewhere in the letter, Aaron said he discovered she was reportedly having an affair earlier this year, which she denied.
“She begged me not to leave, saying it was nothing and that she only loved me,” he wrote. “Then, she denied it all — even the explicit messages I found. Despite her promise to stop, more lies and shocking evidence emerged.”
According to Aaron, Denise is reportedly so upset that he filed for divorce before she had the chance to file first that she allegedly placed an AirTag on his car as a way of “stalking” him.
The news comes after Denise accused Aaron of domestic violence.
On July 18, Denise filed for a temporary restraining order against Aaron, sharing photos that showed her with a bruised eye.
“Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages,” she said in court documents obtained by People.
In response to the filing, Aaron issued a statement denying Denise’s accusations.
“Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone,” he said. “These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue.I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect.”
Aaron has maintained his innocence.
Aaron also denied her claims of abuse in the letter that was shared by Page Six.
“I have never, ever physically harmed my wife, and I did not give her a black eye. I have only ever stepped in to protect her or others — including separating her from physically attacking her daughter — always coming from a place of care and concern,” he wrote.
