Denise Richards is reportedly seething with rage after court ordered her to pay a whopping amount to her estranged husband Aaron Phypers during their ongoing divorce.
For those unaware, after six years of their marriage, Phypers filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. The couple did not welcome their kids in their relationship.
According to Radar Online, a judge has asked Richards to temporarily support her estranged husband by paying him a whopping $5,000 a month in spousal support until their divorce is finalized.
She has also been ordered to pay $10,000 for March, April, and May to help him pay his attorney fees and other expenses.
An insider told the outlet, “Denise never imagined she’d be the one writing monthly checks – she’s sick over this.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star feels “the system and the ruling are totally unfair and she’s now terrified that Phypers might get even more the next time they go back to court” because of his financial condition.
“Aaron is rubbing this in her face and taunting her, bragging how he’s going to get way more, that she owes him and he will make her pay up,” revealed the source.
Notably, Richards really wants to fight with him but any argument with him at this crucial point can be “an absolute disaster for her bank account because she could easily end up on the hook for [more] legal fees too,” stated the insider.
The Starship Troopers actress’s inner circle is forcing her to practise meditation to calm herself down but she “won’t hear of it though – she’s very righteous about this and doesn’t want to have to pay him a dime,” per the source.
“She can’t believe after all she’s done for him that she now has to pay him, a grown, able-bodied man, $60,000 a year to go away,” concluded the insider.
