Denise Richards is 'grateful to be safe' following road rage incident in LA where her vehicle was shot at

Denise Richards expressed gratitude on Thanksgiving weekend for friends and fans who offered support to her family nearly two weeks after a driver shot at the vehicle she was traveling in with husband Aaron Phypers.

"I want to give my sincerest thanks to all who have reached out to me and Aaron during this time," she wrote on her social media platforms. "We are both very grateful to be safe."

Richards, 51, was sitting in the passenger seat while Phypers was driving their Ford F-150 to a studio in Los Angeles when a road rage incident with a driver of another vehicle occurred.

"She didn't want to not show up to work," the insider added. "The production company made her feel safe, but they didn't file a police report. They think now that people were after the car itself because it's worth a lot of money."

Days after the ordeal, the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star responded to an online troll who hoped she would have "taken a grazing shot" to her neck.

"Don’t care kinda hope she would have taken a grazing shot to the neck honestly," one user wrote, according to Page Six.

"Thank you. I would never wish any harm on anyone," she voiced on Twitter. "What I experienced yesterday with my husband, not that you care. Was the most terrifying situation I have ever been in. 

"I’m sorry a shot didn’t graze my neck…a--hole."

Twitter later deleted the user's tweet after it "violated the Twitter Rules."

Florida AG says it’s ‘not rocket science’ why so many Americans are flocking to Sunshine State

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said it's "not rocket science" why so many Americans are moving to Florida, arguing that people look to the Sunshine State and understand that "leadership matters."

"It's not rocket science. I mean, people are watching and they understand that leadership matters. We don't just watch as things break down or things aren't going right. We do something about it," Moody told Sean Duffy on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."

"When we saw people not respecting cops and other folks defunding their police, we gave them raises. When we saw a rash of folks rushing into stores and committing mob thefts, we did something about it. We made it easier to prosecute those people," she continued. 

Moody was responding to questions on why so many Americans are fleeing Democratic-led states to places such as Florida in recent years.

Census Bureau data from earlier this year found that New York lost 319,000 people between July of 2020 and the same month of 2021, while California lost 261,000 during the same time period. Florida, meanwhile, grew by 211,000 residents during that time period. 

"We saw other states cramming down on their citizens and taking away their rights. We did something about it. You know, this is a government of the people. They want to make sure those that they elect to office have their backs. And in Florida, we've got their backs," Moody continued.

The state attorney general added in her remarks on Sunday that Florida is a "law and order state" that supports its police forces and will carry out the rule of law. 

"And we will say … be aware if you move here. Florida is a law and order state. So if you're a criminal and you're residing in Florida, you may want to get out," she warned. 

POMPEO SAYS TRUMP'S ANNOUNCEMENT HAS NO IMPACT ON HIS OWN 2024 DECISION

"I'm not only the attorney general. I'm a former federal prosecutor, a judge for over a decade. I'm married to a cop. It is not hard to imagine that if you fail and refuse to enforce the laws on the books, and that includes both crimes and your bail statutes, that you will see an increase in crime."

Florida has fallen directly under the 2024 presidential spotlight in recent weeks as speculation grows that Gov. Ron DeSantis will announce a presidential run. Former President Donald Trump, a Florida resident, has also officially announced his run to retake the White House in the upcoming election.
