Denise Richards‘man, Aaron Phypersis being sued for alleged fraud and breach of oral contract.

Rupert Perry filed a lawsuit Nov. 13 accusing Phypers, 52, of breaching an oral agreement for treatment at his wellness center, Quantum 360, in Malibu. Perry’s wife, Elina Katsioula-Bealldied of cancer in May 2024 and was allegedly treated by Phypers the year before, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly Wednesday, January 8.

According to the filing, Katsioula-Beall was diagnosed with Sarcoma – a rare cancer that develops in the bones and soft tissues – in 2019 and sought “a stem cell treatment for her cancer”, which was provided by Phypers’ Q360 Club. Perry claims Phypers promised the treatment “would cure or at least improve (Katsioula-Beall’s) condition.”

Perry’s suit alleges that Phypers had “claimed that the treatment had a 98 percent success rate, and he was so confident in it that if it didn’t work, he would refund” half the money — $126,000 — that Perry and Katsioula- Beall paid him for the procedures.

Lucky in love! Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers found happiness with each other after their respective divorces. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was previously married to actor Charlie Sheen from 2002 to 2006. They share two daughters: Sam and Lola. (Richards later adopted daughter Eloise in 2011.) More than a decade after her (…)

Katsioula-Beall was treated there between July and September 2023. That December, she learned her tumors had grown, prompting her and Perry to contact Phypers with a written request for a $63,000 refund.

“(Phypers) ignored her request and instead suggested she undergo another round of treatment,” Perry claims in the filing.

He claims that Phypers had also ignored further requests for refunds.

“On May 21, 2024, Katsioula-Beall succumbed to her illness and died,” the suit states. “On June 28, 2024, Mr. Perry spoke by telephone with (Phypers) who acknowledged the debt but made a series of excuses for not being able to pay the $63,000.”

Matt Winkelmeyer/WireImage Denise Richards can’t help gushing over her “great” marriage to Aaron Phypers. “I love being married. I love my husband. I know not everyone does,” Richards, 53, told Us Weekly exclusively at The Hollywood Christmas Parade, which supports Marine Toys for Tots on Sunday, Dec. 1. “I don’t understand them. But we (…)

Perry, who is seeking a lawsuit, claims Phypers must pay Katsioula-Beall’s estate when her illness worsened after treatment at his facility.

“(Phypers’) aforementioned misconduct was intentional, willful and done with the intent to deprive Plaintiff of property and/or legal rights or otherwise cause injury,” Perry says in the documents. “This despicable conduct subjected Plaintiff to cruel and unjust hardship in willful disregard of her rights.”

Us has reached out to Richards’ team for comment. Phypers, for its part, has yet to file papers with an attorney in response to the lawsuit. His Q360 club appears to be closed.

In late December 2024, his wife, Richards, tumbled over her “great” marriage with her husband.

“I tell other couples with children, I always say that you have to have time for yourself. Don’t feel guilty,” she added. “If this doesn’t work, it starts at the top and rolls down. If (your marriage) stays strong, your family is intact.”
