Denise Richards made her first public appearance at BravoCon in Las Vegas following news that she was granted a five-year restraining order against her ex-husband Aaron Phypers.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum greeted fans at the annual Bravo network event over the weekend. She appeared relaxed and engaged with supporters despite the ongoing legal proceedings.
Richards filed for the restraining order as part of her divorce proceedings from Phypers, citing safety concerns.
The actress, 53, married Phypers in 2018 in a Malibu ceremony. Their relationship had been featured on various reality shows and red carpet appearances over the years.
Court documents indicate the restraining order was approved by a judge last week. The order prevents Phypers from contacting Richards or coming within a specified distance of her residence and workplace.
Richards has not made detailed public statements about the specifics of the legal action. Her representatives declined to comment on the ongoing proceedings.
The divorce filing marks the end of Richards’ six-year marriage to Phypers. She was previously married to Charlie Sheen from 2002 to 2006, with whom she shares two daughters.
At BravoCon, Richards focused on her television work and upcoming projects. The event brought together current and former Bravo personalities for panels and fan meet-and-greets.
She’s best known for her roles in Wild Things and Starship Troopers before transitioning to reality television. Richards appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for three seasons.
The restraining order represents a significant development in what sources describe as an increasingly complicated separation between the former couple.
