In 2025, the widower placed several ads in the Malibu Times on June 19, June 26, July 3 and July 10 letting him know that he was being sued in Los Angeles Superior Court and had 30 days to respond to the case filing,Rupert Perry, who filed the suit, attempted to notify Phypers of the lawsuit with several ads in the Malibu Times last summer.Around that same time, Phypers found himself involved in a contentious divorce battle with his ex Denise Richards.Perry first filed a suit against Phypers in November 2024 for breach of oral contract and fraud by false promise over payments he and his late wife, Elina Katsioula-Beall, made to his now-defunct wellness center, Quantum 360 Club.In the most recent update on their legal battle, Richards was ordered to pay her ex $5,000 a month in spousal support and $30,000 for his attorney fees.According to the legal docs, Perry claimed the couple paid Phypers $126,000 for stem-cell treatments in June 2023 in the hopes that it would help Katsioula- Beall — who had been diagnosed with sarcoma cancer in 2019 — heal her illness. Perry alleged that Phypers told the couple that the treatment would “cure or at least ameliorate” her condition and “was so confident in it” that he promised “if it did not work, he would refund to Ms. Katsioula-Beall and Mr. Perry fifty percent of the money they to him for the treatment.” From July until September 2023, she received treatments. But by December, she learned that the hadn’t worked and her tumors had grown 25 percent within the three months since ending her treatments. Katsioula-Beall then allegedly reached out to Phypers to tell him about her results and asked for a 50 percent refund of $63,000. However, Perry claims her request was ignored on two different occasions.Perry first filed a complaint against Phypers in November 2024, accusing him of breaching a verbal contract and fraud by false promise.Perry claimed Phypers defrauded his late wife who paid him $123,000 for stem cell treatments to address her sarcoma cancer.In March 2024, Perry claimed Phypers agreed to refund Katsioula-Beall’s money after he was reached by a third party. Katsioula-Beall sent one final invoice requesting payment on March 29 “as she was dying from cancer.” But, her request was ignored once again. She died on May 21, 2024. On June 28, 2024, “Mr. Perry spoke with Defendant by telephone, who acknowledged the debt but proffered a series of excuses for his failure to pay the $63,000,” reads the documents.
