What's Happening?
A Los Angeles judge has ruled that Denise Richards' wages cannot be seized to pay off her estranged husband Aaron Phypers' debt. The decision comes after the Creditors Adjustment Bureau sought to collect $228,000 from Richards, following a default judgment
against Phypers for an unpaid loan. The court's decision protects Richards' earnings from her work on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' and other projects. The ruling follows Richards' separation from Phypers and her obtaining a restraining order against him due to allegations of domestic violence, which Phypers denies.
