Denise Richards is certainly having to deal with some wild things on her sophomore run on RHOBH. The actor and former Bond Girl must have gotten used to her fair share of bad press when she was married to —and divorcing— her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen. However, the affair rumours swirling around her and Brandi Glanville this season are seemingly taking their toll.
It is revealed during the first episode of RHOBH season 10 that Denise Richards stopped filming with the cast in December of 2019. Seemingly, this was because of her fighting with much of the group — particularly with Kyle Richards and former friend Lisa Rinna, based on the episodes and previews we have seen so far. But could that be enough to make her leave the show altogether?

Aaron Phypers
The only thing missing from this season of RHOBH was Aaron Phyper’s diamond. Denise Richards’ tequila-loving husband certainly made no fans among the ladies or the audience, talking down aggressively to them at a luncheon at Kyle’s house — leading to Teddi Mellencamp later referring to him as an “a—hole” in her confessional. He then threatened to crush Denise’s hand as they made their escape; yikes. After that, he came head-to-head with Erika at an event at Sutton’s store and, once more, Denise whisked him away. Most annoyingly, he then skipped the reunion.
