Denise Richards accuses Aaron Phypers of illegally leaking her nude photos

Denise Richards claims her estranged husband Aaron Phypers has “repeatedly” violated her temporary restraining order against him by illegally leaking nude photos of her to media outlets, as well as texts he allegedly stole from her laptop.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 54, has called on a court to ensure the return of her devices and photos by end of day Tuesday, according to a motion obtained by Us Weekly and TMZ.

“I am in extreme distress and greatly disturbed since Aaron has been repeatedly disseminating private text messages stolen from my laptop after the TRO has been issued and I have warned him numerous times not to disseminate any information from my cellphone or laptop,” Richards wrote in the filing.

The “Wild Things” actress said the alleged leaks not only qualify as “abuse and a violation of the TRO,” but that “the disseminating of nude photographs is a criminal act.”

Richards, per TMZ, is asking that her ex be “prohibited from using, delivering, copying, printing or disclosing any text messages, emails, photos, notes or other content” from any of her electronic devices.

 

Phypers filed for divorce earlier this month following what he claims was a fight the couple had over Richards’ alleged cheating. She was granted a temporary restraining order less than two weeks later amid accusations of longstanding abuse and death threats.

Phypers has denied those allegations, which he claims are Richards’ way of distracting from her alleged infidelity. He says he has only on certain occasions “forcefully grabbed” Richards in attempt to restrain her, including once when she was allegedly “punching” Sami Sheen, her 21-year-old daughter with ex-husband Charlie Sheen.

Richards and the controversial “Two and a Half Men” star, 59, also share daughter Lola, 20. She separately adopted 14-year-old daughter Eloise. Divorce documents, which say Richards and Phypers share “no minor children,” seem to contradict his recent confirmation that he’d adopted the teen.
