Denise Richards' $6 Million Divorce Saga: Will Aaron Phypers Get A Dime?

Denise Richards Caught in a Costly Divorce Drama

Denise Richards is caught in one of Hollywood's messiest splits, and insiders are buzzing that the former Bond girl could be facing financial ruin. The 54-year-old model and Real Housewives star is reportedly depleting her $6 million savings to clinch a win in her legal showdown with estranged husband Aaron Phypers, 53. Phypers, a wellness enthusiast, is seeking significant spousal support following the collapse of their five-year marriage this summer.

"If she and Aaron don’t figure this out quickly, she could end up in the poorhouse because legal fees are absolutely bleeding her dry," shared an insider.

Accusations and Allegations Fly

Richards, once married to the notorious Charlie Sheen, has accused Phypers of physical abuse, while he has fired back with claims of infidelity and reckless pill usage on her part, according to People. The drama intensified last month when Phypers alleged that Richards failed to file adoption paperwork for her daughter Eloise, now 14.

Phypers has also criticized Richards' pet parenting skills, claiming she neglected their animals, even when one was battling cancer. Both parties have denied each other's accusations, but the legal battle rages on, with Richards reportedly forking out "many tens of thousands" in legal fees.

Financial Strain and Future Concerns

The situation could worsen if the court orders Richards, also the mother of Charlie Sheen's daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, to pay spousal support. "Denise is not worth as much as people think!" insists an insider. Despite her fame, she's never hit the mega-high pay bracket, and her spending habits have left her financially vulnerable.

Richards' refusal to settle and hire a mediator underscores her determination to not cave to Phypers' demands. However, with Phypers holding a strong case for support, the odds are stacked against her, potentially draining her finances further. It's a legal nightmare that could have lasting impacts on her financial health.
