Denise Richards Brings Daughters to 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' Screening as Divorce Dispute Escalates

The outing comes as court papers from Aaron Phypers say his adoption of Eloise was never finalized.

Overview

  • Richards attended an Aug. 30 screening at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles with daughters Sami and Eloise and addressed the crowd before the film.
  • In remarks at the event and in an Instagram post, she noted her daughters were seeing the movie on the big screen and thanked the museum for hosting.
  • People reports Phypers alleged in Aug. 20 court filings that Richards failed to file adoption papers, leaving him, in his words, “legally without his daughter” and causing “immeasurable harm.”
  • Phypers filed for divorce in July after six years of marriage, setting off an ongoing legal dispute that includes questions about parental status.
  • TMZ reports Richards has accused Phypers of abuse and sought a court order to clear him and his family from their former home to retrieve items, claims he categorically denies.
