    Aaron Phypers' mother has reportedly pleaded for financial help for her son, in a new GoFundMe

    Aaron filed for divorce from reality TV star Denise Richards in July after six years of marriage and Denise later applied for and was granted a restraining order against Aaron amid allegations of domestic abuse, which he denied.


    In November, landlord John Karan filed a lawsuit against the pair, claiming they had failed to pay rent for months on a Calabasas home they were renting from him.

    Although Denise, 54, had already moved out of the six-bedroom, five-bathroom house, following her split from Aaron, 53, he remained in the home with his parents and brother.

    According to the Daily Mail, Phypers' mother, Patricia Phypers, launched a GoFundMe, last month titled Please Help My Son Aaron - A Grandmother's Cry for Justice.

    She posted a lengthy message, blasting Denise and claiming that Aaron was being prevented from seeing their daughter Eloise, who Denise adopted in 2011, with Aaron filing adoption paperwork in 2019.

    Patricia wrote: "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 was our light. She adored her daddy. And overnight, she was taken from him... and from us... without truth, without justice, without mercy.

    "When my Daughter in law needed help, I was brought in to hold a collapsing home together - 36 dogs, 5 cats, endless responsibilities, all hidden from the landlord. 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.

    "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. We are facing eviction. Our utilities are being shut off. My pension is gone. We are out of options. 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. With a breaking heart, Patricia Phypers. A Big Thank You, to all of you, that have taken the time to read this! And Thank you all you donate and or re-share this to get the word out. 100 per cent of all proceeds will be used towards the above mentioned.. THANK YOU!"
