Aaron Phypers is saying “Wild Things” about Denise Richards.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum’s estranged husband likened her to Rob Reiner’s son Nick — who has been formally charged with two counts of first-degree murder — while chatting with TMZ Friday.
When asked about Richards’ motivation for accusing him of domestic violence in July, Phypers replied, “What happened to Rob Reiner recently?”
The 53-year-old added, “There’s a lot of influence there, guys. And I’m not calling stuff out, but do a drug test.
“When people are on a bunch of substances and washing it down with other substances, what happens?” he continued outside the Van Nuys courthouse in Los Angeles.
Richards’ rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Rob and his wife, Michele Reiner, were found stabbed to death over the weekend in their Brentwood home in Los Angeles.
Nick — who was arrested on charges for the double murder last Sunday — has struggled with drug addiction for years and was reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia prior to his parents’ brutal deaths.
According to TMZ, the 32-year-old’s medication had him “out of his head” and acting “erratic and dangerous.”
Nick is being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility without bail and has an arraignment scheduled for Jan. 7, 2026.
As for Phypers’ own upcoming arraignment regarding felony domestic violence charges, he waived the right to have the hearing Friday and pushed it to Monday.
The businessman was arrested in court in October, three months after Richards accused him of “frequent” and “violent” abuse.
Phypers posted his $200,000 bail and was released within hours.
He has dismissed Richards’ claims on multiple occasions, even insisting during October testimony that the Bravolebrity “bruises easily” — and accusing her of infidelity, a Vicodin addiction and more.
Most recently, he claimed on Friday, “I never assaulted her. … This is all show. She’s just playing this as a game. It’s like the Me Too movement.”
Richards, meanwhile, was granted a permanent restraining order against her former partner in November.
The actress, 54, wed Phypers in 2018, with the latter filing to end their union over the summer after six years of marriage.
The duo’s contentious divorce proceedings remain ongoing.
Richards and Phypers each tied the knot once before, previously marrying Charlie Sheen and Nicolette Sheridan, respectively.
