Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers’ split came as a shock to Us — especially when you look at how the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum used to speak about her then-husband and his … body.
On Monday, July 7, Us Weekly reported Phypers filed for divorce from Richards after six years of marriage. He cited “irreconcilable differences” and indicated he wants spousal support from his estranged wife, as well as rights to property that he says belongs to him.
Before that news dropped, the actress was known for being vocal about their relationship in a very candid way, opening up about everything from her hunt for a happy ending massage for her spouse (“I wanted him to have one”) to his sizable assets, and fans keep coming back for more. Phypers, however, wasn’t always a huge fan of his wife’s “you ask, I’ll tell,” policy.
“Was Aaron embarrassed when I was saying that? Oh, f— yeah,” she said during the RHOBH after show about her remarks about his “big penis” on a 2019 episode. “He was squeezing my knee under the table so hard [that] my kneecap almost popped off.”
Richards added, “I got an earful in the car on the way home, ‘cause of his mom. On the ride home … he was like, ‘What the f—? … Why would you say that? My mom can’t watch this show.’”
