Denise Richards' divorce from Aaron Phypers has taken another ugly turn.
Police were dispatched to the Calabasas home Phypers shares with his parents and brother on Sunday, August 3, after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum showed up and caused a scene, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Richards' restraining order against Phypers, 52, prevents the ex-couple from being within 100-yards of each other.
Unannounced Visit
Sources claimed Richards showed up to Phypers' house unannounced.
Sources reportedly claimed the Wild Things star, 54, showed up to Phypers' house unannounced to collect their dog.
Richards allegedly went around the back of the home, banged on the door, and demanded to be let inside.
Phypers was said to have left as the chaos broke out because of Richards' restraining order against him.
Animated Richards
Sources claimed Richards banged on the door and demanded to be let inside the home.
Insiders claimed Phypers' parents eventually let Richards inside their home. The Bravo star allegedly demanded she be given her dog, started screaming and waving her finger in their faces.
Then, Richards allegedly turned on Phypers' brother, taking swings at him and throwing mail in his direction.
Paparazzi shots caught Richards standing the driveway talking to at least three officers.
Sources claimed the reality star told police she just wanted her dog.
Phypers' 83-Year-Old Mom Shaken Up
Sources claimed Richards took swings at Phypers' brother and threw mail at him.
Phypers allegedly told officers Richards showed up to his home despite her restraining order against him.
While no arrests were made, photos captured Richards looking animated while Phypers' 83-year-old mother appeared to be shaken up over the ordeal.
The incident is the latest in Richards and Phypers' contentious divorce.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Phypers filed for divorce from Richards on July 7, citing irreconcilable differences. He listed their date of separation as July 4.
Abuse Allegations
Richards also recently accused Phypers of being physically violent, leaving her with a black eye.
Days after Phypers blindsided Richards with the divorce filing, she asked the court for a temporary restraining order against him claiming he's been violent towards her during their marriage.
Richards included photos of a black eye Phypers allegedly gave her in 2022, though the wellness guru denied ever being abusive and claimed the injury was the result of her drinking.
Most recently, Richards demanded Phypers return her laptop he allegedly stole from her containing explicit photos.
Court documents revealed Richard accused Phypers of violating her restraining order by "disturbing her peace" when he allegedly sent her personal information from the stolen computer to the media, including text messages and photos.

Meanwhile, insiders claimed Phypers is preparing for an all-out war and is angling to cash-in at Richards' expense.
An insider said: "This divorce is getting nasty very quickly, as he's demanding a fortune from Denise."
Phypers shuttered his Malibu wellness center, Quantum 360, after being sued for alleged fraud by a late patient's widower in a case that's ongoing.
He's listed his monthly expenses at a whopping $105,000 and claimed Richards brings in around $250,000 per month between her OnlyFans account, promotions and reality shows.
The source said: "Denise is obviously telling people that there's no way she earns $250K a month. The expenses he's detailed are insane, but he's saying he's got receipts ... and he's got a strong lawyer."
"Denise can squawk and balk all she wants, but he says she needs to pay up. No one would be surprised if he goes for at least half of her $6 million fortune.
"She's willing to fight tooth and nail to make sure he doesn't walk like a bandit with her cash.
