The divorce between Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers just went from messy to downright chaotic—because not only were screams flying, but so were fists, mail, and restraining order violations.
Sources close to the couple say what started as a routine dog pickup turned into an emotional meltdown that left Aaron’s elderly mother terrified, his brother shaken, and cops at the scene.
🐶 A Dog, A Restraining Order, and A Driveway Meltdown
The dramatic moment unfolded Sunday afternoon in Calabasas, where Aaron currently lives with his 83-year-old mom, dad, and brother. According to law enforcement sources, Denise showed up—unannounced—to pick up a dog the couple once shared.
But there was one major problem: Denise currently has a restraining order against Aaron. That means they’re legally required to stay at least 100 yards apart—no exceptions.

🚨 Denise Allegedly Banged on Doors and Screamed at His Parents
According to TMZ, Aaron spotted Denise circling around to the back door, where she allegedly started banging and shouting to be let inside. Concerned about violating the restraining order, Aaron reportedly left the property immediately and called the cops.
That didn’t stop Denise, though.
Sources claim his parents eventually let her in, and that’s when all hell broke loose. Denise allegedly screamed at Aaron’s parents, told them to “get out of the house,” and even put her finger in their faces. It didn’t end there—she reportedly went after Aaron’s brother, swung at him, and threw mail in his direction.

👮♀️ Police on the Scene—But No Arrests Made
Photos obtained by Backgrid show at least three L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies talking with Denise in the driveway, with her bright red Corvette parked nearby. She appeared visibly agitated, gesturing and confronting Aaron’s brother as he stood behind her vehicle.
When questioned by police, Denise reportedly said she was just there to pick up the dog. Meanwhile, Aaron told deputies that her presence violated the restraining order.
Despite the drama, police ultimately decided no crime had been committed and no one was arrested. But witnesses say Aaron’s elderly mother was left in tears, terrified, and deeply shaken by the ordeal.
💔 From Happier Times to Heated Confrontations
Once a picture-perfect couple, Denise and Aaron’s relationship has completely unraveled in recent months. The two quietly split earlier this year, but things have escalated quickly—with restraining orders, accusations, and now, full-blown driveway showdowns.
It’s unclear who currently has custody of the dog in question, but what’s obvious is that this divorce is far from over.
