Says alleged abuse led her to seek a restraining order

- 

Denise Richards has described the alleged abuse she says she experienced in her marriage to Aaron Phypers as a “slow burn”, revealing the moment she felt there was “no hope” left.

The 55-year-old actor, who separated from Phypers in July after six years of marriage, addressed the allegations during a return appearance on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Phypers has denied all allegations of physical abuse.
