REAL Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards has accused her husband Aaron Phypers of domestic violence, alleging he “threatened to kill her and caused her at least three concussions.”
Richards alleged that she suffered physical and verbal abuse throughout her seven-year marriage with Phypers, including strikes to her head and face and degrading profanities, according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun.
“Throughout our relationship, 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 rack, threaten to kill me,” Richards said in court documents.
Richards, 54, also claimed that Phypers, who filed for divorce on July 7, would hack her laptop and phone and download all of her text messages.
“Aaron regularly threatened to ‘break my jaw’ and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help – none of which ever happened,” the actress added.
“Aaron has caused me at least three concussions. Aaron has told me that he has left recording devices to record me while I was alone in hotel rooms and at my townhouses.”
Most recently, Richards alleged that on July 4, over the course of two hours, Phypers, 52, repeatedly “got within two inches of my face and screamed at me degrading profanities, including calling me a c**t, whore, and a piece of s**t.”
Richards added, “Aaron’s actions were scaring me to the point that, as with nearly all of Aaron’s abuse of me, I was afraid that Aaron may kill me.”
The Wild Things actress claimed she never called law enforcement on her husband because Phypers “threatened to kill himself” if she reported him, she said in court documents.
Richards also claimed Phypers threatened to harm her if she went to police, alleging her husband owns at least “eight unregistered guns and multiple bullet proof vests.”
“He told me multiple times over the course of the last two years that because the guns are unregistered that if he used them no one would be able to track them,” the actress alleged.
Richards was granted a restraining order against her estranged husband.
