The former couple is now one step closer to being evicted from their rented home in Calabasas, after a court clerk entered a default judgment in favor of the landlord. The ruling grants the landlord possession of the property, following claims that the pair failed to pay roughly $84,000 in rent.
Court records show the landlord formally asked for the property back in mid-December, saying the rent had gone unpaid for months. Because no successful legal response stopped the action, the court moved forward with the default judgment.
The situation is made more complicated by the couple’s bitter split.
In court filings, Phypers claims he is on the verge of homelessness and says he needs access to money from accounts he shares with Richards in order to cover basic living expenses and bills.
Richards, however, tells a very different story. She says she stopped paying rent back in January 2025, after Phypers and his parents allegedly moved out of the house. According to her filings, she believed she should no longer be responsible for rent on a home she was no longer sharing under the same arrangement.
The rental dispute is only one part of a much larger legal war between the two.
Phypers filed for divorce in July 2025, ending their more than six-year marriage. Since then, the breakup has turned highly contentious, with both sides accusing each other of serious misconduct in court.
Things escalated further in October, when Phypers was arrested on a warrant tied to felony domestic violence allegations made by Richards. The case added another layer of tension to an already explosive split.
With the eviction now moving forward, both Richards and Phypers appear to be under increasing financial and legal pressure — and the fight over money, property, and responsibility is far from over.
