Denise Richards Sports Apparent Black Eye Days After Showing Up at Estranged Husband’s House

Denise Richards has a pretty nasty bruise under her eye and a cut on her chin days after she showed up to her estranged husband’s place unannounced … which is interesting, because she used a photo of a black eye to get a restraining order against him, and as far as we know, he hasn’t been near her since.

The actress/reality star was photographed Tuesday running errands in Calabasas, California — the city just north of Los Angeles — and the discolored mark stood out starkly under the bill of her cap.

Denise ain’t smiling in these photos … and, it looks like she’s got a cut under her chin, too.

Sources close to Denise tell us it’s just lighting and shadow giving the appearance of a black eye … and she had micro-needling and a PRP injection.

As you know … Denise caused drama when she showed up to Aaron Phypers’ house Sunday — allegedly without warning — despite the restraining order she took out against him. She’s had court-ordered protection since she showed a judge old photos of a black eye she claimed she sustained at Aaron’s hand.

At the time, Aaron denied causing the black eye … instead, he claimed Denise fell while drunk and injured herself.

Because of the restraining order, Aaron stayed the hell away from Denise when she came to the house Sunday … and she didn’t have a black eye when Aaron’s family called police to the home. As far as we know, the two haven’t been near each other.
