Overview

• A Los Angeles judge granted a temporary domestic violence order on July 16 after Richards detailed multiple alleged physical and verbal attacks.
• Richards submitted photos showing bruises on her face and arms and claimed Phypers threatened her life and possessed eight unregistered firearms.
• Phypers filed for divorce on July 7, citing a July 4 separation over irreconcilable differences, and released a statement calling the abuse allegations “completely false and deeply hurtful.”
• The order bars Phypers from coming within 100 yards of Richards’ home, workplace or vehicle until their next court appearance.
• The couple, who married in September 2018 and share no children, will return to court on August 8 for a hearing on Richards’ request for a permanent protective order.
