Denise Richards Claims Aaron Phypers 'Left the House in a State of Disarray'
The actress claims the home was left 'in a state of disarray.'
“Aaron and his parents and brother have severely damaged the [home] and left the house in a state of disarray,” Richards said alongside the photos.
According to a media outlet, a source close to Phypers denied the allegations made by Richards, insisting he and his family did not leave the home in “disarray.”
In fact, they said he and his family cleaned up the home “a ton” since Richards had moved out in 2023. As far as the torn-up floors go, the insider said his family was in the process of replacing them.
In the photos, the tile looks torn up and ruined.
Denise Richards Says She and Aaron Are Still on the House's Lease
Denise Richards said she needs to pick up her possessions from the home.
On August 20, Richards filed documents insisting Phypers and his family depart the home they once shared. She wants them to be away from the property for eight hours in order to get her dogs, clothes and late mother’s possessions.
“Aaron and I are still on the lease for the [home],” Richards explained. “When I moved out of the [home] over two years, I left many of my personal items and my late mother’s items at the house based on Aaron telling me that his family would be moving back to Canada and we would be moving back into the [home].”
The Wild Things star also said she received an email on July 24 from the landlord insisting the "eviction process" would start soon.
