What does Denise Richards' husband, Aaron Phypers do? Actress' money will reportedly not be seized over husband’s $228K debt

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers exchanged vows back in 2018. While Denise Richards is widely recognized for her acting work across film and television, her husband’s career path has remained relatively under the radar.

As reported by BravoTV, Phypers has appeared in various projects on TV over the years, including The Leap and The Curiosity of Penny Parker. He also made a few guest appearances on The Bold and the Beautiful, sharing scenes with Denise Richards herself. Outside of acting, Phypers pursued a role in the field of frequency medicine (using frequency-generating devices to help clients balance their bodies, minds, and spirits).

Denise Richards once addressed this subject during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show in 2019. She said,

“He doesn’t touch you or anything, it’s not stuff like that. It’s light and sound therapy... How he described what is going on is Ella Fitzgerald sings and breaks glass, right? The frequency breaks that. So frequency can also break down different things going on. It’s not cuckoo weird s**t; it’s like been around for hundreds of years, holistic medicine, all over the world. It’s different for every person.”

Denise Richards shields her paychecks from husband’s loan default in court ruling

Despite a $228,000 judgment against her husband, actress Denise Richards will not see her paychecks docked, thanks to a recent court ruling that sided in her favor. On June 4, a judge in Los Angeles rejected a request by the Creditors Adjustment Bureau to seize part of Denise Richards’ income. The agency had been pursuing the unpaid debt owed by her husband, Aaron Phypers.

The dispute began in 2022 when the company filed a lawsuit claiming that Phypers and his business, Quantum Epigenetics Consulting LLC, defaulted on a $190,000 loan he had taken out in 2019. Phypers admitted to missing payments, citing pandemic-related disruptions. His legal team argued:

“Those events could be neither anticipated nor controlled, and the effects were beyond the control of the parties and imposed an extreme hardship, expense or difficulty rendering performance impossible.”

Though both parties initially reached a settlement that involved monthly payments over more than a year, Phypers reportedly failed to uphold the terms. The collection agency said he only paid about $40,000 before defaulting again, with the last payment made in February 2024. In July 2024, Phypers was ordered to pay back the full amount.

Earlier this year, the agency tried to go after Denise Richards’ funds, claiming marital connection, but the court declined. In court, Denise Richards caught a break. A judge sided with Aaron Phypers after finding that the debt collector had failed to follow basic legal procedure.

The ruling came down to the fact that Richards hadn’t been properly notified. The judge noted the absence of any proof that she had received notice of the hearing. There were also concerns about the overreach of the motion itself.

As the judge explained:

“Moreover, the motion seeks to attach all wage earnings and other assets in the name, possession, custody and/or control of Ms. Richards rather than specific wage earnings tied to [Creditors Adjustment Bureau’s] community property argument.”

Aaron Phypers previously sued for alleged failure of $126K stem cell treatment

Long before legal troubles caught up with him, Aaron Phypers was known for running Quantum 360, a holistic healing clinic in Malibu. His approach, labeled “frequency medicine,” had raised eyebrows when featured on Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“I break down stuff so you can all heal you — I don't heal anybody, by the way. I remove blocks, discord, information,” Phypers explained.

But in November 2024, that alternative approach became the focus of a lawsuit, as detailed in a People report. Rupert Perry sued Phypers after his wife, Elina Katsioula-Beall, underwent a $126,000 stem cell treatment at Quantum 360. Katsioula-Beall had been battling sarcoma and was told the therapy could “cure or at least ameliorate” her condition.

According to the legal filing:

“[Phypers] claimed that the treatment had a 98% success rate and he was so confident in it that, if it did not work, he would refund to Ms. Katsioula-Beall and Mr. Perry fifty percent (50%) of the money they to him for the treatment."

The lawsuit alleged the treatment failed and that Katsioula-Beall’s tumors increased by 25%. When the couple sought the promised refund, Phypers allegedly agreed he owed them $63,000 but failed to pay, offering “a series of excuses” instead.
