Overview

• On August 3, Denise Richards went to Aaron Phypers’s Calabasas home to collect shared dogs despite a temporary restraining order, prompting a 911 call and sheriff’s deputies on the scene.
• Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department confirmed that Richards did not violate the protective order and no arrests were made after deputies questioned her outside the property.
• Richards’s attorney says she entered the home only after confirming Phypers was absent to retrieve her dogs following the euthanasia of their senior pet without her knowledge; Phypers counters that the dog had late-stage cancer and asserts Richards has been uninvolved in their animals’ care for two years.
• Photos showing Richards with a dark mark under her eye fueled speculation of injury, but her camp and cosmetic experts attribute the discoloration to recent microneedling and PRP treatments rather than physical abuse.
• The couple is preparing for upcoming court hearings on the restraining order’s future, asset division and custody issues as they maintain sharply divergent accounts of the conflict.
