Denise Richards Earns Huge Court Win With Family Home; Ex Aaron Phypers Ordered To Stay Away
Monday, September 8, was a big day in court for Denise Richards. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum made her first court appearance amid her nasty divorce from Aaron Phypers, and she received a lot of good news. Although the divorce is far from being over, they have just made some important progress in some of the petty things they’ve been fighting over. Specifically, she just won access to the family home where Aaron and his family have been living.
Aaron Phypers must remain 100 yards away from Denise Richards
There’s been a lot going on with this divorce, so here’s a quick refresher of what they went to court over yesterday. Denise allowed Aaron and his family to stay in their Calabasas, California home. Allegedly, Aaron stopped paying the rent, prompting an eviction notice. Meanwhile, Denise felt concerned about a number of her personal belongings that remained in the house. In addition to the potential eviction, she had a restraining order against Aaron that would make accessing the home impossible.
In court documents reviewed by People, a judge granted Denise access to the family home on September 13 to retrieve her personal items and a bunch of dogs that were still living there. The judge told Aaron that he had to stay 100 yards away from the property, reinforcing the temporary restraining order already in place.
The last time Denise went to the home, the police had to intervene. Aaron called the cops as Denise allegedly started fighting with his family members. This court order will prevent any drama like that from unfolding as Denise enters the property. It also forbids Aaron from taking any action that would interfere with Denise’s access to the house. He can’t change the locks. He can’t hide her stuff. Aaron has to let Denise get her belongings.
Another element of yesterday’s court hearing revolved around a stolen laptop and cell phone. Denise accused Aaron of stealing the devices, which allegedly contained nude photos of her. The judge instructed Aaron to return the devices.
Previously, Aaron claimed that he didn’t take the items, despite Denise having video footage of it. The judge sided with Denise and told Aaron he had until the end of the day, September 9, to return the stolen devices. All of this drama comes just two months after he filed for divorce, and there will be plenty more that they’ll need to unpack before finalizing things.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
RHOBH’s Erika Jayne Calls Housewives Shows ‘A Setup’
Things are bubbling over on Real Housewives of Orange County and battle lines are being drawn. The girls took lie detector tests at Emily Simpson’s party, and Katie Ginella failed spectacularly. Now Katie is saying she feels like it was all a setup. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne is unimpressed and said the whole show, in general, is a setup.
She’s not entirely wrong, though. The Housewives franchise isn’t exactly designed to show off only the best sides of these women. After all, where’s the drama in that? The show thrives on showing off the biggest fights, the nastiest feuds, and more. After all, that’s part of the reason people tune in.
Erika Jayne is in “a bad mood”
At the moment, Katie is not having an easy go of it. She’s a party of one right now on RHOC, and all the other ladies are against her. This comes on the heels of a very questionable lie detector test, which she failed, and other people passed despite flashbacks showing that they were lying. Very sus indeed!
On their podcast Two T’s In A Pod, Erika and Teddi Mellencamp discuss Katie’s reaction to Emily’s party and the immediate aftermath.
“Jenn (Pedranti) tells them that Katie thinks this was all a setup,” Teddi says. She paused and added, “This setup thing, though, I don’t like…”
“The whole show’s a setup, you fool,” Erika said quickly. “What part of this are you just coming to realize? The whole f*cking thing is a setup.”
The quickness with which she said it clearly indicates that she’s had her own experiences with the show, highlighting her not-so-best moments. She said previously that reality TV is difficult and is not for the faint of heart.
Teddi laughed at her conviction. And both women joked about the amount of “setups” in the Housewives franchise. They couldn’t believe the RHOC ladies didn’t realize this all by now. Eventually, Erika shakes her head and says, “I’m really in a bad mood. ”
“You’re in a bad mood and I’m post-immunotherapy,” Teddi says. “So we’re a big bag of uppers over here. Someone needs to drug us.” They proceeded to laugh over this until Erika said, “We need tranquilizers.”
Maybe that would help some of the RHOC ladies, too?
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo. The show streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
