Denise Richards’ split from Aaron Phypers just got messier, with Charlie Sheen and Brandi Glanville flagged as potential witnesses as Phypers reportedly seeks up to $150,000.

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers have been quietly slugging it out since filing for divorce in July, and now the whole thing just took a soapier turn: Phypers wants Charlie Sheen and Brandi Glanville on the witness list. Yes, really.

Who Phypers wants on the stand

According to a recent filing, Phypers' legal team named Sheen and Glanville as potential witnesses who could testify about Richards' alleged behavior. The docs claim they could speak to Richards' supposed:

'history of not being truthful and of drug and alcohol abuse'

That is their allegation, not a fact, and it has not been proven in court.

Why these two?

Sheen is the obvious headline here. He and Richards were married from 2002 to 2006, they share two daughters, and while their split was famously tense, they appear to be on decent terms these days. So if he does testify, it could get awkward fast, but also illuminating. Glanville worked with Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and previously claimed she had an affair with Richards. Richards denied it. That whole saga was peak Bravo-insider drama at the time, and now it might end up under oath. Inside baseball, meet courtroom.

The mess so far

Phypers filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences in July. Since then, both sides have thrown serious accusations: Richards has accused Phypers of domestic violence, while Phypers claims Richards had a year-long affair. Again, allegations on both sides.

Other names on the witness sheet

  • Actress Kasia Wolejnio
  • Counselor Wendy Bernacki
  • Sara Curtis
  • Terry Ahern
  • Members of Phypers' family
  • Richards' father

Money talk

On top of the witness list shake-up, reports say Phypers is seeking up to $150,000 from Richards as part of the divorce. The filing details around that ask haven’t been made public, but that number is out there.

Where this is headed

Short version: this case is nowhere near done. If Sheen or Glanville get called, expect it to get even louder. For now, everything above is what’s been alleged in filings or reported around the case, and nothing has been decided by the court.
