Denise Richards’ Ex Says He’s Broke, Demands Cash Now — Claims He’s Owed 50% of Her OnlyFans Fortune

Denise Richards’ ex Aaron Phypers is back in court, and this time he wants money, and he wants it now. As their already explosive divorce drags on, Phypers is begging a judge to order the actress to immediately start cutting him spousal support checks.

According to documents obtained by Page Six, Phypers claims he doesn’t have “stable income” because his “business operations and infrastructure” were “disrupted in late 2024.”

Yes, you read that right.

Despite a dramatic domestic violence arrest in court back in October and a pending criminal case, Phypers insists that he’s still entitled to temporary support. In the filing, he argues he has a right to maintain the “status quo” of “financial fairness during litigation.”

He also makes it clear that the court shouldn’t factor in the explosive allegations when deciding whether he should get paid.

“Temporary support focuses primarily on need and ability to pay, not final fault determinations or ultimate property division,” he states in the Los Angeles filing, adding that the court is obligated to “ensure equitable interim conditions” by ordering Richards to pay up.

Phypers — who has repeatedly denied Richards’ claims of domestic abuse — notes that he has entered a plea of not guilty and emphasizes that “there has been no criminal conviction.”

But that’s not all.

He’s also coming for her OnlyFans money.

Phypers claims he is entitled to “50% compensation” from Richards’ OnlyFans account, which he has previously alleged pulls in up to $300,000 per month. And he’s tying that demand to what he calls his intellectual property.

“She is literally making money every single month from my intellectual property in the form of the photographs that I took of her that she has posted on her OnlyFans page,” the documents read.

If that weren’t dramatic enough, Phypers also says he expected a payday from Richards’ Bravo reality show, “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things,” and claims that check never came.

“I was supposed to receive 50% of the production income received by Smoke & Mirrors Entertainment, LLC, for that show and instead, I have not received any of the production profits, nor any accounting for what the company received for that show,” he alleges.

Reps for Richards and Phypers did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

Earlier this year, Richards pushed back. In January, she asked a judge to deny Phypers’ request for half of her OnlyFans earnings, citing his missed deadline to file an updated income and expense declaration.

In prior filings from October 2025, Phypers doubled down on his claim that he “helped [Richards] to build her OnlyFans account” and that he holds “the intellectual property rights to most, if not all, of the pictures that are in use on her page.”

He also alleged that the “Wild Things” star has “cut [him] off from accessing that joint income that we earned together.”

At the time, he claimed he was “out of money and financially desparate [sic],” with rent and expenses piling up.

So now the big question: will a judge force Richards to bankroll her ex while their legal war — and criminal case — plays out?
