RHOBH’s Denise Richards is Set to Undergo Surgery Amid Volatile Divorce as Aaron is Sued by Widower for Nearly $150,000
Denise Richards is undergoing surgery in December.
As a widower filed documents against her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, 53, requesting a 6-figure sum, the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
According to a November 24 report from PEOPLE, Denise confirmed a surgery planned for December in her response to Aaron’s request, which a judge denied.
As RHOBH fans may recall, Aaron made his request in an attempt to gain access to previously shared funds with Denise, claiming he was in financial distress and facing homelessness.
“[Denise] will be unavailable for a large portion of the month,” her documents stated, signaling the surgery.
Her attorney, Brett. A Berman, also noted, “There is no emergency, no irreparable harm, and no immediate danger that warrants” an emergency order as he requested the January 5 hearing be moved to January 7 and asked a judge to fine Phypers Aaron for “filing this unnecessary and frivolous ex parte application.”
“Instead of reducing the costs of litigation by encouraging cooperation, [Aaron] is only inflaming the situation and causing attorney fees to escalate,” the filing stated. “Accordingly, [Denise] should be awarded sanctions.”
Denise wants the hearing on January 7, “when the court’s calendar is less congested so as to ensure sufficient time can be devoted to the hearing.”
Meanwhile, as noted in a November 26 report from Us Weekly, widower
In June 2023, after being diagnosed with sarcoma cancer in 2019, Elina met with Aaron at his former wellness center, where he claimed he could “cure or at least ameliorate” her condition and lauded a 98% success rate. He even offered to give her a 50% refund if the treatment was unsuccessful.
Elina was then charged $126,000 and underwent three months of treatment. However, rather than being cured, Elina’s tumor grew 25%.
According to Rupert, Elina requested the 50% return, but Aaron didn’t respond.
“On March 29, 2024, as she was dying from cancer, [Elina] sent another email to [Aaron] along with an invoice for $63,000 and a request for payment in a timely manner. [Aaron] again ignored her request and did not respond,” he said.
Elina ultimately died in May 2024, and one month later, Rupert reached out to Aaron, who acknowledged the debt and offered excuses for why he couldn’t return the 50% as promised. At the time, a source close to Aaron explained to In Touch Weekly that he felt that the company, not him, as the middleman, should pay.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 premieres on Thursday, December 4, at 8/7c on Bravo.
MAURICIO UMANSKY'S "MIDLIFE CRISIS" EXPLODES AT CRAIG'S: CAUGHT "GETTING HANDSY" WITH 34-YEAR-OLD STAR, BREAKING EVERY RULE HIS DAUGHTERS SET!
Mauricio Umansky has officially entered his "bachelor era," and subtlety is not on the menu. Two years after his separation from Kyle Richards, the 55-year-old real estate mogul was spotted putting on a brazen display of public affection with 34-year-old "FBoy Island" star CJ Franco, igniting rumors of a new romance while simultaneously setting fire to the ground rules established by his own family.
THE CRAIG'S SPECTACLE: "NUZZLING AND KISSING"
The scene at West Hollywood hotspot Craig's—famous for its waiting paparazzi—was undeniable. Photos obtained by the Daily Mail show Mauricio with his arms wrapped tightly around Franco, kissing her cheek and burying his face in her neck. Franco, fresh off a broken engagement to director Len Wiseman, appeared to be loving the attention, leaning back into his embrace with a wide smile.
This isn't an isolated incident. Since his split, Mauricio has been linked to a string of younger women, including singer Anitta (32), model Nikita Kahn (34), and influencer Klaudia K (33).
IGNORING THE DAUGHTERS' PLEA: "AGE APPROPRIATE"
What makes this public display so controversial isn't just the age gap; it's the direct defiance of his daughters' wishes. In a recent interview with
"They want me to have fun," he said, but with caveats: they asked him to be "
By taking a woman 21 years his junior to the most photographed restaurant in Los Angeles and engaging in heavy PDA on the street, Mauricio has broken every single rule his children set for him.
KYLE'S STANCE: "SUPPORTIVE" OR UNBOTHERED?
While Kyle Richards maintains a public stance of support, stating, "We both want the best for each other," insiders suggest her patience for his public antics is wearing thin.
"Kyle sees this pattern," a source revealed. "She’s focused on her own evolution and her future. Seeing Mauricio cycle through reality stars in their 30s just confirms to her that they are on completely different wavelengths. She’s moving forward; he’s trying to relive his youth."
THE CONCLUSION
Mauricio Umansky is a free agent, and he is making sure the world knows it. But by flaunting his latest conquest in such a public manner, he risks alienating the very people he claims to prioritize: his daughters. As he gets "handsy" with a star from
