Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards has opened up about her ongoing divorce from husband Aaron Phypers and admitted she’s been struggling behind the scenes
Reality TV star Denise Richards has revealed to fans about her challenging divorce proceedings in a heartfelt new video, confessing she has been battling difficulties privately despite seeming positive on social media.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality, 54, posted a raw Instagram video where she became tearful while speaking to her followers about the “very, very, very difficult time” she is presently facing.
“I was just checking in to see how your summer’s been going. Mine has been wonderful. And uh. It’s actually been s—–. But I’m gonna pretend like it’s all good,” Richards, who was granted restraining order against estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, admitted at the beginning of her video.
She revealed that she had been maintaining a strong front for her supporters online, stating, “I’ve actually been posting on Instagram like nothing’s going on in my life, and I can’t do that anymore because there’s something obviously going on.”
The performer, who has appeared in Wild Things and Starship Troopers, continued to express gratitude to fans for their encouraging words as she works through her split from spouse Aaron Phypers, reports the Mirror.
She expressed, “Many of you have been so kind and so supportive of me. I see all of your messages, I can’t comment because it’ll be taken out and put in the press, but I just wanted to in all seriousness say that this has been a very very very difficult time.”
Richards went on, “It’s so hard to go through a divorce. Many of you have gone through that, this isn’t my first one, it’s my second one, and I never thought I’d get divorced again. This is why I always say never say never.”
Struggling to hold back tears, she continued, “There are circumstances around my divorce that are difficult to talk about. One day I will talk about it, when the time is right. I just want to process everything and get through this. It has not been easy, so your messages mean a lot.”
She wrote alongside the video, “Just a little moment of gratitude. Thank you for the love-your kindness and support don’t go unnoticed! It means a lot to me.”
The emotional message follows after Richards’ estranged spouse submitted divorce papers last month, stating “irreconcilable differences.” The couple, who wed in 2018, documented their official separation date as July 4.
The breakup has already become bitter. Aaron has claimed that he found text exchanges on Denise’s computer indicating she had been cheating. She has not responded to these accusations publicly.
At the same time, Denise secured a temporary protective order against Aaron after alleging he physically abused her throughout their marriage. He vehemently refutes these charges.
The protective order will stay active until a court proceeding in August. Court papers show that Aaron is asking for spousal support, stating he has no income while his wife Denise rakes in over $250,000 a month from her TV roles, brand endorsements, and OnlyFans.
He also claimed their lavish lifestyle costs them more than $100,000 a month, with $20,000 spent on clothing and $15,000 on dining out.
