Aaron Phypers threatens to ‘crush’ Denise Richards’ hand in horrifying resurfaced ‘RHOBH’ clip - lulu

Denise Richards’ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, threatened his wife in a shocking Bravo clip that resurfaced in the wake of the actress’ shocking abuse claims.

In a Season 10 episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Richards told her partner not to “say a f–king word” as they walked hand-in-hand.

The “Leap” actor, 52, kept his voice low as he replied, “Don’t tell me what to say. I’m going to crush your f–king hand. Stop it.”

Social media users shared horrified reactions to the 2020 scene via Instagram on Wednesday.

“This definitely gave red flags,” one fan wrote, while another called it “uncomfortable to watch” and “so so concerning.”

During the series reunion later that same year, Andy Cohen asked Richards “what was going on” in the now-viral moment.

The horrifying moment began when Richards told her partner not to “say a f–king word.”

He replied, “I’m going to crush your f–king hand.”

“I didn’t even know that [he said that],” the “Wild Things” star replied at the time. “I played it for him and he said, ‘I don’t even remember saying that. I don’t know why I would say that, because I’m afraid of you.'”

She clarified that Phypers was “afraid of [her] … in a joking way.”

Richards’ co-stars blasted the actor, with Sutton Stracke calling his statement “unacceptable.”

Garcelle Beauvais, for her part, said, “I didn’t hear it on the show, but I saw it on social media and that’s when I was like, ‘Oh, my God!’ … I was worried.”

Richards, who exited “RHOBH” that year after two seasons on air, has been married to Phypers since September 2018.

He filed for divorce earlier this month, making headlines for revealing Richards’ extravagant monthly expenses while requesting spousal support.

On Wednesday, Richards was granted a restraining order over multiple alleged abusive episodes.

“Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack,” Richards alleged in court documents obtained by Page Six.

In addition to the reality star claiming Phypers threatened to kill her, she shared photos of a bruised eye from one of the alleged attacks.

The Quantum 360 founder has been ordered to stay 100 yards from Richards and her property, including her home and car.

Phypers denied the allegations against him in a statement to Us Weekly Thursday, “Not true. Conjured up. I have the real evidence.”

Richards is also the mother of daughters Sami, 24, and Lola, 20, with her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.
