The 53-year-old businessman was taken into custody by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies at a courthouse in the city last week after testifying at a hearing relating to his estranged wife's temporary restraining order against him.

His spokesperson told Us Weekly, “We can confirm that Aaron Phypers was, in fact, arrested near the end of the family law court day on October 17, 2025, and was later released on bail.
They continued, “We have not seen the criminal complaint, but we believe that it is most likely based upon the some of the same false accusations that Denise Richards has brought against Mr. Phypers in the family law domestic violence proceeding, which she claims occurred nearly four years ago.

Phypers was released on a $200,000 bond.
