Denise Richards has been granted a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, after accusing him of domestic violence.
In court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Richards, 54, requested a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Phypers, 49, while detailing the alleged abuse she’s endured throughout her marriage.
“Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages,” Richards claimed in the documents, filed on July 16. “Aaron regularly threatened to ‘break my jaw’ and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help—none of which ever happened. Aaron has caused me at least three concussions.”

“Until now, I have been afraid to report Aaron to the police or file for a restraining order because he has repeatedly threatened to kill himself and me if I reported him to the police, among his other threats of harm to me and himself if he is reported for his abuse to anyone,” Richards continued.
Additionally, said Richards, Phypers “threatened that I would ‘disappear’ if I called the police.”

“Aaron’s actions were scaring me to the point that, as with nearly all of Aaron’s abuse of me, I was afraid that Aaron may kill me,” she stated.
A representative for Richards did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Earlier this month, Pyphers filed for divorce after six years of marriage.
