Overview
- Monday’s Los Angeles court session on Richards’ request for a long-term restraining order was pushed to next month after Phypers retained Michael Findley.
- The judge authorized Richards to return to the family home and ordered Phypers to stay at least 100 yards away from the property.
- Phypers was directed to return Richards’ laptop and an old phone by the end of Sept. 9, and Richards was granted Sept. 13 access to retrieve personal items and dogs.
- Richards is seeking a permanent protective order and plans to present RHOBH footage, texts and photos she says document abuse, including a 2020 clip of an on-camera threat.
- Phypers denies the accusations and previously filed for divorce in July citing irreconcilable differences and seeking spousal support, with a temporary restraining order already in place.
