Omg, what happened to Denise Richards ?
The 54-year-old actress caused a stir when she was spotted with what appeared to be a fresh black eye on Tuesday. Considering it was just weeks after she accused her estranged husband of domestic violence, fans were concerned, to say the least! Whoa! See pics Here In The Area
If you’ve been following the breakup drama, you know that Denise obtained a temporary restraining order against Aaron Phypers during their divorce. The reality star claimed that he was physically and verbally abusive to her throughout their relationship. She provided evidence to support her allegations, including photos of a black eye — which she claims came from Aaron hitting her in 2022. Watch (below):
Aaron vehemently denied her claims. He then dropped his own shocking accusations: Denise cheated on him with Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test instructor, Rudy Ray . He also claimed she had a drug problem. Yikes.

Everything is a mess. It’s a lot of back and forth, he said/she said. The cops had to get involved when she showed up at his place in Calabasas over the weekend. And days later she’s now been seen with a new bruise under her eye while she was running errands in LA?! What the heck happened?
Don’t jump to conclusions! Things are not what they seem…
First of all, it’s not even a black eye! A source told People on Wednesday that the mark under the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum’s face in the pictures is actually from a cosmetic procedure:
“It’s not a black eye. It’s lighting and shadows. She also had microneedling PRP (platelet-rich plasma).”
According to Healthline, the treatment is often used to help reduce scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. The most common side effects are… bruising and inflammation, including swelling and redness, which usually appear immediately after the procedure but go away “within four to six days.” So Denise likely had the procedure done in the last few days — hence the slight change in her eye! But it’s not a black eye! Phew!
We’re glad Denise is ok and unharmed! We were worried for a second there! Reactions, Perezsace readers? Let us know in the comments!
