Conflicting Accounts Emerge
- Richards’ attorney Brett Berman stated: “Ms. Richards entered after confirming Mr. Phypers wasn’t present. She was retrieving her dogs after learning he put one down without her knowledge.”
- Phypers called this claim “false,” telling media: “I have never abused Denise or anyone. These accusations are categorically untrue.”
Phypers’ parents reportedly felt “frightened” during the incident, with a source claiming Richards “slammed on windows” and demanded entry. Richards was eventually let in by a family member, and no arrests occurred.

The incident escalates an already bitter split:
- Phypers filed for divorce July 7, citing “irreconcilable differences” and seeking spousal support
- Richards obtained a temporary restraining order days later, alleging years of physical abuse including choking and death threats
- Phypers denies all abuse claims, accusing Richards of stealing and destroying his phone
