Denise Richards says her estranged husband has violated the restraining order that she
00:04
got against him, and she's also demanding the return of her laptop, which she says she's
00:10
accusing Aaron Pfeipers of stealing and then revealing the contents of some of those, what
00:16
he got off the laptop, which would be text messages with the guy that she allegedly had
00:22
this affair with, including some nude photos, which have also come out, and she's very upset
00:28
about that, so now she thinks that that has violated the restraining order, and she wants
00:32
this laptop back.
00:33
Now, Aaron Pfeipers has said to us in the past that he did not steal her laptop.
00:38
And he took pictures of it.
00:39
Right.
00:40
But she, obviously, now that he has released those text messages and released some of the
00:47
photos as well.
00:48
This has become a really ugly divorce, I mean, really on both sides.
00:54
He filed right after the 4th of July.
00:56
Something happened in the 4th of July.
00:58
Right.
00:58
You told us all about the argument, the fight they had on July 4th into July 5th, and
01:03
he claims that Denise told his mother that she was going to file for divorce to divorce
01:09
Aaron, and that's why he ran to court.
01:11
We've talked about this, that it doesn't really matter who files first.
01:15
It's California's a no-fall state.
01:16
It just doesn't really have any...
01:18
It doesn't have any...
01:19
It doesn't matter to the divorce, but I think the reason Aaron brought it up, brought
01:24
up the allegation that she's had this affair is because he was trying to explain what led
01:29
up to their fight on July 4th, which was that she...
01:34
Is accusing her of stealing his phone and destroying it because she was trying to...
01:39
Because he had those photos.
01:40
Devin, just help me out here.
01:42
He's saying that he had the evidence of this alleged affair on his phone and she wanted
01:49
to destroy it.
01:50
Yeah, so that's why he believes she smashed up his phone on the 4th of July.
01:54
And so now with her saying, basically she's saying he violated the restraining order, right,
01:59
by stealing her laptop and then giving the media the images that were on the laptop.
02:05
He's saying, I never stole your laptop.
02:08
We were living together at the time.
02:10
So the laptop, everything they had was like their property together.
02:14
And the images he took on his own phone.
02:18
So he's saying he, those are his photos and that he never stole the laptop.
02:22
Aaron actually gave us a statement responding to the allegation that he had stolen her laptop.
02:28
He said, I absolutely deny the false allegations that I violated the restraining order or stole
02:33
Denise's laptop or cell phones.
02:35
These claims are being weaponized to damage my reputation.
02:39
And what's ultimately, you know, fascinating about this is none of this has anything to
02:45
do with the divorce itself.
02:46
This is PR for both of them.
02:48
Yep.
02:48
They're waging a PR war before they even get to the actual divorce war, which I'm sure will
02:53
be just as heated.
02:54
Hi, this is Susan from Palm Springs, California.
02:57
And this divorce between Aaron and Denise is just getting messier and messier.
03:02
And if Aaron did take her laptop, then he is violating that restraining order.
03:06
And it's just downright dirty if he did take it.
03:09
Yeah.
03:09
And again, he's saying he didn't.
03:10
He's saying he just took pictures of it.
03:12
So again, this damage has been done.
03:15
The divorce is, you know, unless they actually end up having a trial over spousal support,
03:20
there's going to be no trial because there's no kids or anything like that.
03:23
Right.
03:23
They don't have kids together.
03:24
So this is just property split.
03:26
Right.
