Overview

• Richards filed papers on Aug. 19 requesting that a judge order Phypers and his parents and brother to temporarily vacate the leased home so she can retrieve her dogs and personal items without breaching a restraining order.
• Her filing says the landlord plans to begin eviction proceedings on Aug. 23 after unpaid rent and unsuccessful attempts to reach Phypers, with both parties named on the lease.
• Richards alleges the property has been severely damaged and submitted photos showing removed flooring and rooms left in disarray.
• According to TMZ, Richards asked the court to have Phypers vacate for eight hours to collect belongings, while sources aligned with Phypers call her move unsubstantiated and reiterate his denial of abuse.
• Context for the dispute includes Phypers’ July divorce filing, a temporary restraining order granted to Richards on July 16, and an Aug. 3 police response in which deputies reported no evidence of a crime during a prior attempt to retrieve dogs.
