In their new Bravo show, Denise and Aaron referenced the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member.
Denise Richards and Erika Jayne may disagree on a lot of things, but one thing they can agree on is that Denise's husband, Aaron Phypers, is ripped.
In Season 1, Episode 2 of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, Denise was working out with her husband in their home gym — located in one of their three townhomes — when she suddenly brought up the time the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Erika gave Aaron a compliment.
"I remember Erika Jayne, she touched your lats when we were at a premiere. Do you remember that?" she asked a red-faced Aaron as he lifted 90-pound weights. "And she was like, 'Aaron, you have really good lats.'"
Though this moment is apparently seared into Denise's brain, Aaron said he has no memory of this interaction, joking that he couldn't remember it because he's "cut out all those people."
Denise continued on about how she'd be flattered if she were him, but Aaron eventually changed the subject, interrogating Denise about which of his body parts stood out the most when they first met. To this, Denise simply said, "Your penis. I told you that. I saw it through your f-cking jeans."
Why don't Denise Richards and Erika Jayne get along?
Long story short, the cast members butted heads when Denise appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in Seasons 9 and 10. Their feud continued into Season 13, when Denise reunited with the Housewives at Crystal Kung Minkoff's Taco Tuesday party on Season 13, Episode 10, which aired in January 2024.
Denise took the opportunity to confront Erika about their past interactions, leading to an uncomfortable and heated conversation witnessed by the Housewives and Crystal's other friends. The taco party tête-à-tête ultimately ended in a stalemate, even though Erika previously told the ladies she was giving up arguing for Lent.
"I made it to 48 hours before Lent ended; I was so close. I was so nice!" she said in an interview with ET. "I mean, I said, 'I don't want this fight. I don't want this. I really don't want to do this, but if you want this, I will give it to you.'"
Are Denise and Erika friends today?
Erika has since been asked about where she stands with Denise in a January episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, but played coy with her answer. She simply said, "I may or may not have seen Denise Richards recently."
And it seems that encounter may play out on this season of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, as Erika can be spotted in a trailer for the show. As Erika walks up to Denise, the former actress says, "Oh, f-ck."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, and Camille Grammer are also set to make appearances on the show.
Will Erika and Denise be able to come to a resolution or will it be a replay of taco night? Find out when new episodes of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things air Tuesdays on Bravo.
