Mellencamp claimed Phypers wants 'a lot' of money from Richards.
The podcast duo is furious over Phypers’ claim that he and Denise “have no children together,” despite Eloise being a part of their daily lives for years. “What a d----wad,” Mellencamp remarked, speculating, “It’s because he doesn’t ever wanna have to pay [Denise] anything.”
In their unwavering support for Richards, both Jayne and Mellencamp are adamant that Phypers should “leave [Denise] the f--- alone.” Mellencamp didn’t stop there, adding, “And you’re gross, douchelord. Sorry. Very few men do I despise as much as that guy. He’s easy to despise.”
