Social media commentator and podcaster Perez Hilton weighed in on Denise Richards’ recent separation from husband Aaron Phypers. On July 8, 2025, Hilton took to X to share his take on the split, claiming Phypers filed for divorce with financial motives.
"He wants some of that money she’s making selling spicy content! It’s a lot each month!" Hilton wrote in the caption of his post.

In the website article linked to the post, Perez Hilton cited court documents obtained by TMZ, which confirmed that Phypers had officially filed for divorce on July 7, after six years of marriage. The filing was submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The filing cited “irreconcilable differences” and listed July 4 as the couple’s official date of separation.
"The couple have been married for six years after tying the knot in September 2018 and have both gone through divorces before — the actress with Charlie Sheen and the businessman with Nicollette Sheridan," Hilton wrote.
As per the Celebrity Net Worth website, Denise Richards’ net worth is estimated at $6 million. This figure stems from decades of work in the entertainment industry, with roles in films such as Starship Troopers, Wild Things, The World is Not Enough, etc.
The 54-year-old actress's financial records also took center stage in her husband's divorce filing.
In his article, Hilton detailed that, according to Phypers’ divorce petition, Richards was earning $250,000 per month. He further wrote that her income reportedly came from a mix of “O*lyF*ns, TV, brand deals, and appearances." Given that Richards' income was quite high, Phypers also requested "spousal support" in his filing.
"In the filing, he ( Aaron Phypers) asked for spousal support from his ex, who he claims makes over $250,000 a month… He claims he has no income at this time," Hilton added.
