Richards wore a baseball cap, sunglasses and a jacket tied around her waist as she spoke to the men loading up her belongings.
Phypers, 52, recently exposed the home as a messy “hoarding” situation, and we hear the movers wore face masks while working due to dust and a strong smell.
The former reality star was also joined by her father, Irv Richards, who assisted Denise in putting her pets in crates to transfer to a different location.

The actress was granted the right to retrieve her things from the residence without violating her restraining order in a Sept. 8 hearing.
She and Phypers have been navigating their contentious divorce court battle since the latter filed in July.

He also defended putting Richards’ dog Melanie down without permission, claiming, “Denise hasn’t interacted with the animals in two years.”
Phypers additionally dropped a bevy of accusations against his estranged wife, from an alleged affair with “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” trainer Rudy Reyes to a Vicodin addiction.
In response to these claims, Richards’ lawyer told People, “Ms. Richards will not be responding to Mr. Phypers’ false allegations in a public forum, and will be addressing Mr. Phypers’ abuse in Court.”

Aaron’s mom appeared on last week’s tour, saying, “I loved Denise and I treated her like a daughter, and I don’t understand.”
Richards and Aaron tied the knot in 2018 in a Malibu, Calif., ceremony.
