Key Points:
- Aaron Phypers, estranged husband of Denise Richards, has been hit with a $160,000 default judgment after failing to respond to a lawsuit filed by Rupert Perry.
- Perry sued Aaron for alleged fraud and breach of contract, claiming Aaron's wellness center promised a stem cell treatment with a 98% success rate to cure Perry's late wife’s cancer, which ultimately failed.
- The lawsuit alleges Aaron promised a 50% refund of the $126,000 treatment cost, but never refunded the $63,000 before Elina Katsioula-Beall passed away in May 2024.
- Aaron's representatives claim his wellness center was only a middleman and he is not personally liable, but the court ruling holds him responsible.
- Aaron and Denise Richards remain embroiled in a contentious legal battle, with Denise having obtained a permanent restraining order against him amid domestic violence allegations.
