    Aaron Phypers has accused Denise Richards of being the "abusive" one in their relationship

    On Monday (15.09.25), Phypers filed a response to her previous claims of domestic violence - which were made in a restraining order in July as she alleged her 52-year-old partner "repeatedly abused" her during their six-year marriage


    According to new court documents obtained by PEOPLE magazine, he has refuted her claims and denied the allegations.

    He said in the documents: "There is no need for such orders, as I have not abused her and will not abuse her."

    He also alleges that his ex has been "frequently" phoning and messages him and his father.

    He claimed: "As well as asking other family and friends to ask me to call her so often that it should be considered harassment, demonstrating that she is not afraid of me and that she is the aggressive one."

    Phypers has also claimed the actress has "attacked" and "harassed" him "many tiems".

    Elsewhere in the documents, he referenced an alleged incident on August 3, saying: "She barged aggressively and forcefully into other family members' living spaces, including my brother's room (which he recorded), violating his privacy rights and looking through his personal property.

    "Denise violently smashed my cell phone, placed it in a trash can buried under bags of trash, and then lied about, claiming she had not taken my phone."

    He has argued against paying expenses caused by the alleged abuse, and insisted he shouldn't pay spousal support.

    He added: "She has prevented me from earning income, so she is the only one with income. She should support me."

    The couple married in 2018 in a beachfront ceremony that aired on Bravo during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    Phypers, who filed for divorce in July following what has been described as an explosive argument, previously described her allegations of abuse as "bogus".

    He said over the summer: "She's upset. I publicly dumped her to the world, and she's mad, so how does she retaliate? File a bogus abuse claim."
