DENISE Richards’ estranged husband Aaron Phypers was caught on camera making a disturbing comment in a resurfaced Real Housewives of Beverly Hills scene, The U.S. Sun can reveal.
RHOBH alum Denise, 54, just filed a restraining order against Aaron, 52, for allegedly “violently choking” and “threatening to kill” her during their nearly seven-year marriage.

Over five years ago in June 2020, Aaron’s behavior during an episode of RHOBH’s season 10 disturbed some fans.
After a big fight with Teddi Mellencamp and Erika Jayne at Kyle Richards‘ dinner party, Aaron and Denise stormed off the lavish property.
As the couple ran out hand in hand, cameras followed them- and captured some eerie comments.
“F**k it,” Aaron fumed.
“Baby don’t say a word,” Denise whispered. “Baby don’t say anything, we’re on camera.”
“Don’t tell me what to say. I’m going to crush your f***ing hand,” Aaron hissed between closed lips, out of the other cast members’ earshot.
Denise did not speak for the rest of the scene.
After the episode aired, Denise’s co-stars aired their concerns about Aaron’s threat to his wife.
“Wait! What did he just say??” Erika tweeted.
“When I called him an a**hole I wasn’t too far off,” Teddi posted.
When Bravo boss Andy Cohen asked Denise about the disturbing comment at the season reunion later that year, she shrugged it off.
“Denise, what was going on there? I believe he said he was going to crush your hand,” Andy asked.
“I did, because I didn’t even know that either and I played it for him and he said, ‘I don’t even remember saying that. I don’t know why I would say that, because I’m afraid of you,’” Denise responded.
“Zero tolerance. Zero. Unacceptable,” Sutton Stracke chimed in.
“I didn’t hear it on the show, but I saw it on social media and that’s when I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ And I was, you know, I was worried,” Garcelle Beauvais said.
Denise left RHOBH after that season, but returned to make cameos in later years.
As The U.S. Sun reported, Denise was granted a restraining order against Aaron in L.A. court this week.
“Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom rack, threaten to kill me,” she wrote in court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun.
“Aaron regularly threatened to ‘break my jaw’ and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help – none of which ever happened.
“Aaron has caused me at least three concussions. Aaron has told me that he has left recording devices to record me while I was alone in hotel rooms and at my townhouses.”
Aaron originally filed for divorce on July 7.
A source told The U.S. Sun that Denise felt betrayed by Aaron for filing papers and demanding spousal support.
Denise is the mom to Sami, Lola and Eloise, but has no children with Aaron.
