Denise Richards is strapped for cash.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star was ordered by a judge to cough up $5,000 a month in temporary spousal support and an additional $30K in attorney’s fees Thursday.
Richards looked frantic when Judge Nicole Bershon made the order, muttering, “I can’t afford it.”
Richards then briefly addressed the court about her financial situation saying she “was blowing through everything she was making” when she was married to Phypers from 2018 to 2025. “I could barely pay a retainer for my attorney,” she said.
When asked if she had any investments, Richards said she had “nothing.” The actress explained that she had some mutual funds in various IRA’s opened when she “was in her 20’s” but former business managers didn’t tell her where they were.
Richards’ attorney, Mark Gross, mentioned she had a special needs child. “The costs are pretty extraordinary,” he said.
It was also revealed Richards was paying $4800 in missed back rent for her ex in hopes that she would avoid a lawsuit. “He’s not going to pay it,” she said.

Thankful for my simple life
AI says she has $6 - 12 million.
OnlyFans may be hiring.
I don’t think Charlie is doing that well financially, either.
Hollywood problems.
It’s pretty clear that Richards was hurting for money when she sighed up for the Special Forces tv show.
AI Overview
Denise Richards Discusses Special Forces Insights | TikTok
Denise Richards participated in Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test Season 3 (premiering Jan. 2025 on Fox), undergoing grueling,, military-style training in Wales. Despite being injured during a, high-altitude,, water-jump, exercise (which ruptured her breast implants),, she pushed through, physical, and psychological, challenges. Richards, motivated by a desire to overcome personal, fears, lasted into the season before leaving,.
Welcome to equality, you wanted it, equal rights and lefts.
Know you can commiserate with the countless men / fathers that got bankrupt through the courts doing this to them.
Sorry I lost my sympathy this morning and have not been able to find it, just forgot where I left it.
Richards has been doing nothing serious for a long time.
As a woman actress, once you get past 29, the rolls vanish.
Roles maybe vanish. Rolls however can show up and uh be permanent. Too much rolls and the roles disappear.
And there’s that gravity thang. Still attractive though.
Wait, the ex-wife has to pay alimony? What? On what planet does this happen?
Aaron Phypers, doubt you still have one, but if you do, turn in your Man Card immediately.
Denise... God you were beautiful. Marrying Petri Dish Charlie took the shine off, but I give you props for working to control your destiny and life via whatever means you can find, e.g. Reality Shows.
I really think Charlie should be on the hook for the VDs he gave you. And because he is scum and should never be allowed to live high while you can’t. Being married to him for 20 mins should be worth $20 million for emotional damages.
Who would have thought whoring yourself on the internet would lead to trouble.
FAFO
So ....... should we assume that the 'former business manager is dead' and there's no way she can find her IRAs. If the 'former business manager' in question is alive, she needs to sue him.
In any case, it sounds like Richards was/is a terrible steward of her finances.
“”AI says she has $6 - 12 million.””
AI also says that the woman in the red dress at the SOTU address on Tuesday, who was seated with the Democrats and kept standing up was a woman who was a witness to the assassination of JFK...No joke...
The claim by the ex is he helped set up an Only Fans account for Richards that brought/brings in $250K+ a month..
“”once you get past 29, the rolls vanish.””
Nope - that’s when they start to appear especially if you don’t watch what you’re eating. OH! you meant ROLES...
