Denise Richards‘ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, has been arrested.
A lawyer for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise is confirming her ex Aaron was apprehended on Friday, October 17 during a court hearing in their onging restraining order battle in which Denise is trying to convince a judge to make the temporary restraining order she has against him permanent.
According to Page Six, Aaron was handcuffed inside a Los Angeles courtroom and then detained on spousal abuse charges.
TMZ is also confirming that Aaron had an outstanding warrant related to felony domestic violence accusations made by Denise.
If you recall, Denise accused Aaron of giving her a black eye (which she shared photos of) as well as 3 concussions during their court battle this month. Even more, Aaron’s own cousin took the stand and testified that they saw Aaron give Denise a black eye and threaten to kill her.
Aaron’s attorney confirmed his arrest to TMZ but claimed Aaron was not aware of his outstanding warrant while also accusing Denise and her lawyers of “setting him up.”
Cameras did catch Denise leaving the courthouse although she did not respond to questions. We will update this story with any updates as it breaks.
The divorce battle between Aaron and Denise has been pretty contentious since the day Aaron filed for divorce back in July. This was followed by Denise’s domestic violence accusations and Aaron then leaking texts and photos of her which he claims proved she had an affair.
Through all the legal drama, Denise was spotted filming for the RHOBH although her role on the upcoming season is unknown.
