Aaron Phypers‘ latest comments about Denise Richards are sure to raise a bunch of eyebrows!
As you most likely know, the estranged couple has been in a contentious divorce since July, hurling many accusations at each other over the past five months. Denise received a temporary restraining order after accusing him of domestic violence. In a filing, she claimed Aaron “frequently violently” choked her, squeezed her head with both of his hands, “tightly” squeezed her arms, slapped her face and head, slammed her head into a “bathroom towel rack [and more],” and threatened to kill her and/or himself if she ever reported the abuse. OMG. She allegedly has photo and eyewitness evidence to back up her claims, too.
Aaron vehemently denied the allegations several times, even insisting that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum “bruises easily” in an October testimony. He went on to accuse her of infidelity, drug and alcohol addiction, and more. That same month, the businessman was arrested in court on felony domestic violence charges. Denise also received a permanent restraining order against him the following month. But the latest in the case? Page Six reported Aaron pushed his own arraignment to Monday after waiving the right to have the hearing on Friday.

However, that is not the most shocking part of what happened at the courthouse that day! While chatting with TMZ outside the Van Nuys courthouse in Los Angeles, Aaron was asked about Denise’s motivation for accusing him of domestic violence, and he fired back:
“I’ve never assaulted her. I’ve never done anything. I don’t chase her down. This is all show. She’s just playing this as a game. It’s like the Me Too Movement. You know, I don’t know what else to say. What happened to Rob Reiner recently?”
Excuse us? What? The 53-year-old went on to explain:
“There’s a lot of influence there, guys. And I’m not calling stuff out, but do a drug test. You’ll see what I’m saying. When people are on a bunch of substances and washing it down with other substances, what happens? Is their mental sight good? I don’t know what else to say. This is how to ruin people 101.”
As we’ve been reporting, Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death last weekend in their Brentwood home. Nick Reiner — who has struggled with drug addiction and was reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia — was arrested on murder charges afterward. And Aaron thinks Denise, his alleged victim, is similar to the Hollywood couple’s suspected murderer… What the f**k! Is he trying to say she may hurt him while under the influence, too?
When asked for clarification, the Quantum 360 founder said he’s “not linking anything.” Why bring up the Reiner murders in the first place while talking about Denise if he wasn’t then? We mean, beyond the insinuation about the Bravolebrity, it is unnecessary and insensitive in light of a massive tragedy. Watch the interview (below):
At this time, Denise hasn’t reacted to Aaron’s remarks. But what are YOUR thoughts on his comments, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments!
