Aaron Phypers, husband of actress Denise Richards, is facing a lawsuit for alleged fraud in connection with the Malibu wellness center he co-owns. The lawsuit was filed by a former employee, Jamie C. Walden, who claims she is owed more than $1 million in damages due to unpaid wages and wrongful termination. Walden alleges that Phypers and his business partner, Anthony D’Auria, engaged in deceptive practices to obtain funding through a $3 million investment from the current owner of the wellness center, which features various holistic health treatments. According to the lawsuit, Walden claims that Phypers misrepresented the financial stability of the center and failed to fulfill promises regarding employee compensation. The suit also highlights multiple instances of operational failures, including a lack of necessary licenses for treatments offered at the center. In response, Phypers maintained that the wellness center is successfully operating and that Walden’s claims are unfounded, stating, “It’s not uncommon for employees to misunderstand business dynamics.” The legal battle may be a setback for Phypers, who has been in the public eye through his marriage to Richards, a former star of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ The outcome of the lawsuit could have broader implications for the wellness center and its future.
