Denise Richards Says She’s “Safe & Grateful” After a Truck Was Shot At
Remember when your drive becomes a scene from a movie? That’s exactly what happened to Denise Richards and her husband Aaron Phypers last week. While cruising through Los Angeles in their Ford F‑150, someone decided to spice up their ride by shooting at their truck. Luckily, the couple walked away unscathed—but with a story you’ll tell your friends at Thanksgiving.
What Went Down?
- On November 14, Denise and Aaron were heading to the Popsicle Studio set.
- A gold and maroon van followed their pickup like it was a VIP escort.
- When the van tried to cut them off, Aaron slid a window down, confronted the driver, and almost had a heated argument—only to find out the driver had fired a gun into the back of their truck.
- By the time the studio crew found out, the attacker had already fled. The scene was locked down, but the production team decided not to file a police report—just to keep the production schedule moving.
Despite being freaked out, Denise stayed on set for her one‑day shoot because the production team made her feel safe. An off‑duty officer, who was in the crew, later escorted the couple to the freeway as they headed home.
Denise’s Thank‑You Note
On Thanksgiving (November 24), Denise took to Instagram to give a heartfelt shout‑out to her supporters:
“I want to give my sincerest thanks to all who have reached out to me and Aaron during this time. We are both very grateful to be safe. The love and support from all of you has been overwhelming!! We are so thankful for each and every one of you.”
Why the Drama?
A source speculated that the shooter might have targeted the truck because it’s a high‑end vehicle—worth a small fortune, after all. Either way, it’s a hot story that shows even celebrity lives can get a little “convincing” when a driver decides to play “The Wild Ones” on Steroids.
TL;DR
Denise Richards survived a gun‑shooter incident on her truck, remains safe, and is grateful for fan love. The production crew kept the set calm, and an off‑duty officer helped them back on the road. Stay tuned for more “wild” twists in Hollywood life!
