Denise Richards Battles Ex In Court Over Onlyfans Fortune

Denise Richards Fights for Her OnlyFans Earnings

Denise Richards is back in the legal spotlight, petitioning the court to block her ex-husband, Aaron Phypers, from accessing her substantial OnlyFans earnings. The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star is pushing back against Phypers' claims to half of her income from the platform, a move that's become another chapter in their tumultuous divorce saga.

Richards, who has described the past year as "one of the most painful" of her life, is finally feeling like herself again. This latest legal maneuver comes after a judge ordered their eviction from their California residence due to unresolved issues with their landlord.

Contentious Divorce and Financial Disputes

The courtroom drama intensifies as Phypers, citing significant financial difficulties, has filed documents alleging Richards earns between $200,000 and $300,000 monthly from OnlyFans. He's seeking a share of these earnings, claiming entitlement despite not updating his income and expense declaration in time. Richards, however, contends his claims are baseless given his procedural missteps.

“It's not about the money; it's about fairness. I'm just trying to protect my future,” Richards reportedly shared with close friends.

Their divorce proceedings, initiated by Phypers in July 2025, have been riddled with accusations from both sides, including claims of abuse and infidelity. Richards has taken legal actions like obtaining a temporary restraining order, while Phypers has denied her allegations, labeling them as "completely false."

Allegations and Courtroom Drama

Accusations have flown from both camps, with Richards alleging Phypers violated her restraining order and demanding the return of her laptop. Phypers has retaliated with claims of unfaithfulness and substance abuse on Richards' part, even accusing her of endangering their 14-year-old daughter, Eloise.

Richards' attorney, Brett Berman, has countered these assertions, stating that Phypers has been the aggressor, accusing him of disseminating private information stolen from Richards' devices. The legal wrangling has only added to the tension between the exes, further complicating their divorce.

A Year of Personal Struggles and Growth

Reflecting on the turmoil of 2025, Richards has been candid about her personal struggles, sharing a New Year's Day post on Instagram that reveals her journey through "one of the most painful years" of her life. She described the year as a time of "shedding" and "letting go," noting the clarity she gained along the way.

Despite the challenges, Richards expressed gratitude for the support from her family, friends, and professional community, acknowledging those who helped her navigate the past year's tumultuous events.
