Denise Richards' Husband Fighting His Creditor's Attempts to Seize Actress' Paychecks in Court Battle

Published 1 day ago4 minute read

’ husband, , demanded a judge stop one of his creditors from seizing the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum’s money to pay off his debt, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Aaron, 52, said he opposed the request, brought by a debt collector named Creditors Adjustment Bureau, Inc., to go after Denise’s wages and earnings.

A lawyer for Creditors Adjustment Bureau, who Aaron was ordered to pay $228,000, argued, “Denise Richards currently is, and at the time the debt was incurred was, the spouse of Defendant and Judgment Debtor Aaron William Cameron Phypers aka Aaron Phypers aka Aaron W. Phypers and is responsible for the community property debts.”

The debt collector asked for an order “attaching the wage earnings and other assets in the name, possession, custody and control of Denise Richards.”

Now, in court documents, Aaron slammed the debt collector’s effort to go after Denise, 54.

His lawyer argued that the debt collector had provided no “admissible evidence that [Aaron] and [Denise] are actually married.”

Aaron’s attorney objected to a news article that the debt collector submitted as evidence. Aaron’s lawyer called the article “inadmissible hearsay and not competent evidence” to prove the two were married.

“Judgment creditor presents no evidence that [Aaron] and [Denise’] assets are community property,” Aaron’s lawyer added. “An attachment order or other collection order that permits recovery from unspecified assets is inappropriate and overly broad, potentially permitting seizure of assets that are not community property.”

Aaron’s lawyer said the debt collector had not presented evidence that Denise’ earnings are community property.

His lawyer argued, “While marital earnings (assuming the two are married) are generally community property, that is not necessarily the case. Married couple can enter into transmutation and other agreements that change the character of assets and earnings.”

“By failing to give proper notice to [Denise], [Creditors Adjustment Bureau] precludes her from presenting evidence that would provide an exception to what is generally true,” his lawyer ended. A judge has yet to rule.

Denise and Aaron had a wedding ceremony on September 8, 2018, and they call themselves husband and wife.

Denise is not a named defendant to the lawsuit, nor was she accused of having anything to do with the loan. She has never appeared in the case at any point.

As In Touch first reported, Creditors Adjustment Bureau sued Aaron and his wellness company, Quantum Epigenetics Consulting LLC, back in 2022.

In the suit, the debt collector claimed Aaron and his company took out a $190,000 business loan, with $11,000 in interest, in late 2019. The debt collector alleged Aaron defaulted on the loan.

Aaron did not dispute his failure to make payments. He told the court he did not have the funds because the pandemic hurt his business.

Aaron’s lawyer argued, “Those events could be neither anticipated nor controlled, and the effects were beyond the control of the parties and imposed an extreme hardship, expense or difficulty rendering performance impossible.”

Denise’s husband asked for extra time to pull together the funds and pay off the loan.

A trial was called off after Aaron hashed out a settlement with the debt collector, which required him to make five-figure monthly payments starting in late 2023 and running through early 2025.

A short time later, the debt collector went back to court accusing Aaron of failing to make the required payments.

A lawyer for Creditors Adjustment Bureau claimed Aaron made payments totaling $40,000 but then stopped making payments in February 2024.

The debt collector demanded the court enter a judgment in the amount of $228,000 against Aaron due to his alleged default. The court granted the request.

Back in January, the debt collector filed documents asking the court for permission to go after Denise’s money. The case is ongoing.

As In Touch first reported, Aaron was hit with a separate lawsuit in November 2024, brought by a widower named Rupert Perry.

Rupert accused Aaron of fraud and breach of contract. He said his late wife, Elina Katsioula-Beall, was diagnosed with cancer in 2019.

Rupert said Aaron convinced his late wife to try stem cell treatments at his wellness center. He said Aaron promised the treatments would work or he would refund half of the money.

Rupert said his wife paid $126,000 but the treatments were unsuccessful. He said his wife passed but Aaron has refused to hand over the money.

A source close to Aaron disputed the claims and said he believes the company the provided the service is the one that would be providing the refund.

The insider claimed Aaron had been attempting to resolve the issue by contacting the CEO of the company who provided the treatments. The source claimed Aaron denied he ever promised to refund the money and said that was the CEO who made the promise.
