Denise Richards’ car shot at while driving with husband in road rage incident
Denise Richards and husband Aaron Phypers’ car was shot at during a road rage incident Monday in Los Angeles, but the couple is OK, Page Six can confirm.
Phypers was chauffeuring the actress, 51, to a film studio when the male driver behind them got irritated that they were having a hard time finding the place, TMZ reported Tuesday.
The outlet claimed that Phypers let the upset driver, who was allegedly shouting at them while trying to squeeze in front of their car, pass them.
That’s when the driver allegedly shot at Phypers and Richards’ vehicle, striking the back end on the driver’s side.
TMZ obtained a photo of a bullet hole in the couple’s gray Shelby.
Though no one was physically harmed, the outlet reported that Richards was “unnerved” and crying hysterically when she showed up to the set of her upcoming movie, “Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace.”
Her rep had no comment when contacted by Page Six.
According to TMZ, someone from production called 9-1-1. At this time, it’s unclear whether a police report was filed.
The outlet noted that Phypers, 50, stayed with the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum as she “powered through” and “worked for 12 hours.”
After filming wrapped for the day, an off-duty cop reportedly escorted the rattled pair out of the parking lot and back to the freeway.
According to IMDb, “Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace” follows the life of an Iraq War veteran who receives a calling from a higher power and embarks on a mission to stop a fallen angel from recruiting an army of the dead to take over the world.
Richards is also in production for another film slated for 2023, “A Walking Miracle.”
Neither she nor Phypers have spoken publicly about the incident.
