Denise Richards' Abuse Allegations

Denise Richards alleged Aaron Phypers abused her.
“Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages," Denise said of the alleged abuse.
Aaron replied, telling a news outlet he has “never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone.”
Aaron Phypers' Response to Denise Richards' Abuse Claims

Aaron Phypers denied any abuse allegations made against him by Denise Richards.
“These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful,” he continued. “Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect. I ask for privacy as we navigate personal matters, and I hope that the public and media will refrain from spreading harmful and baseless claims.”
When accusing her of having a drug problem, he insisted she’s “struggled with an addiction to Vicodin… mixed with Adderall and tequila” for “nearly a decade.”
