Aaron Phypers accused of threatening his cousin who denounced the alleged abuse of Denise Richards!
That of Denise Richards ex-husband, Aaron Phypersfaces serious new allegations, including that he tried to stop his own cousin from speaking out about his alleged abuse.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Los Angeles prosecutors have filed a criminal complaint and an arrest warrant against Aaron53, on October 15, revealing the four criminal charges that led to his arrest at the courthouse two days later.

One of the new charges, according to prosecutors, involves Aaron Phypers‘ cousin, Kathleen McAllister, who previously worked with him at his Malibu wellness center.
The alleged incident occurred on January 17, 2022 and prosecutors say Aaron “knowingly and maliciously” acted with “force and an express and implied threat of force and violence” towards both Kathleen And Denise54.
In Denise’s motion for restraining order filed in July, the actress recalled that same date. She alleged that during an argument at Aaron’s wellness center, a female family member was present. “Aaron brought several potted plants into the center and became paranoid that they contained listening devices,” the filing states. Denise also claimed that a police officer, who was nearby, approached the door after hearing screams. Once the officer leaves, Denise Richards alleged, Aaron Phypers started screaming again, then hit her in the eye with the heel of his palm while calling her a “fucking slut.”
She said the family member present – presumably Kathleen — witnessed the attack and immediately applied frozen food to the swelling. According to Denise, Aaron insisted she lie and say she “walked into an outfit”, which she described as “not true”.

“We can confirm that Aaron Phypers was actually arrested towards the end of the family court day on October 17, 2025, and was later released on bail,” his lawyer, Michael Finley, said in a statement.
Michael added: “We have not seen the criminal complaint, but we believe it is most likely based on some of the same false accusations that Denise Richards filed against Mr. Phypers in the family law domestic violence proceeding, which she says occurred almost four years ago. If so, we hope the evidence will demonstrate Mr. Phypers‘innocence and that he will be acquitted.
If found guilty, Aaron risks up to four years in prison.
