Meghan King has decided to set speak out after Jim Edmonds and his family members trashed her on social media. Then, Jim gave the bizarre “nice statement” seeming to be a reversal in attitude. Now he is posting photos of a huge ugly house he and Meghan are building. They are captioned, “When you tell the contractors you need to move in ASAP.” Meghan has decided to give her first interview since the breakup to Us Weekly.
“I have to say that when he gave the ‘nice’ interview a few days ago, he was completely speaking for me. That’s not fair to me. He is not my mouthpiece. And I believe the facade he presented is false and manipulative to the public while using and taking advantage of me. At that time I had not exchanged one text message with him and I have still not spoken to him on the phone. I have endured prolific controlling by Jim and it isn’t slowing down. Even when I make an unassuming post on Instagram, he hurls insults at me for a battery of made-up indiscretions. I’m sick of the abuse and I won’t engage anymore, and I don’t have to.”
Meghan King Edmonds Was Blindsided By The Divorce
“Divorce never really crossed my mind. I had to find a divorce lawyer in a matter of hours. He filed so quickly that it seems to me (and others) it had been ready to go and he just was waiting for an event to happen so he could pull the trigger.”
“It saddens me that the father of my children would so hostilely and haughtily say I should be worried about money, even during a time of anger. I don’t see that as putting our children first which has and always will be my first priority. I did sign a prenup but it doesn’t pertain to child support or custody,”Meghan King Edmonds says.
About The Nanny Situation
“My husband has seven children so I don’t understand why or how he’d see a hired childcare provider as an additional child. To call her a daughter flagrantly crosses the lines of a professional relationship with respectable boundaries. I understand that to bring a nanny into our home is to embrace them as a member of our family in some ways, but the ‘daughter’ reference is still perplexing.”
“Also, is it kind to secretly hang out with your boss’ husband at a bar until 1:30 a.m. and then delete all texts between the two of you? Is that putting my children first?” Meghan King Edmonds says.
Hayley’s Nasty Behavior On Social Media
“This was just plain sad to me. When Hayley’s mom was alive we had a wonderful relationship and her mother gave me permission to get Hayley through high school. I enrolled Hayley in school in St. Louis and she lived with us, and when she wanted to move back to California, I moved back with her. She lived with me and I enrolled her in high school there. Jimmy has said in the past that the only reason she has her diploma is due to my efforts.”
“He hasn’t seen them since he left me — in no part due to any reluctance on my part — but hopefully, he will see them soon. In true toddler fashion, Aspen is especially concerned with her broken iPad (he reported it stolen so it’s wiped clean and unable to be reactivated except by the person who activated it originally which is Jim) and she can’t use it anymore but I kind of like that she has to make creative fun. The twins are unaware anything happened.”
This article came out yesterday. Today Jim decided to take Hart to his hyperbaric chamber therapy. We have never seen him do that before. We have seen Meghan King Edmonds in the chamber with the baby many times.
The fact that Jim reported Aspen’s iPad as stolen speaks volumes about what a vindictive POS this guy is. This is going to be a long and nasty road.
None of this is surprising to me.
I think they are both probably nuts.
I don’t like him. I never have. he has always been an Impatient and arrogant shit. He has a far higher opinion of himself than most do. And I don’t think HE wrote the that ‘i will make this right’ press release. It was done for him, to help him save his brand. The brand he needs to polish up to help him remain in broadcasting. (he already knows he is not living in favored lights of the powers that be.). Secure your ass now, Meghan.
I really do feel for her I have to say! He is NOT a nice person and I agree this is going to get so nasty!! She is left with the three kids who lets face it she will end up rearing and poor little Hart with his health problems! She must be so scared facing her future on her own!!
I think I have a mom crush on Meghan. She made a shitty choice when she picked out Jim but I love how she is handling herself. I love how she’s logically detailing her emotions and even got a few digs in without resorting to name calling – just stating facts.
I also adore how she takes care of her children. I’ve seen others be critical of her need for a nanny. I’m not. I wouldn’t be able to do my job without the support of my husband with our kids. Add a kid with special needs who just happens to have a twin and mix in a toddler – home girl needed some help!
If she wants to find love again, I hope she picks someone who will support her. She needs it and deserves it. Like I’ve said before – I’d watch a Bravo show with just her being a single mom. I’m addicted to her IG.
I think its the fact she has 4 nannies not just one that is perplexing.
So as someone who had to have help because I was disabled with a 3 year old that was home full time and a newborn and a husband that worked 12 hours a day I had to hire a nanny for 10 months. It was very eye opening to see why ppl had multiple nanny’s because something comes up with one such as they have a vacation, sick day, drs appointments, usually class or a second job. They aren’t robots. I had to use sitters multiple times during the week.
She has three kids under two. One has special needs and she has had to fly across the country multiple times alone with him for treatment. Jim is useless. None of the nannys are live-in. There is likely a day nanny, a night nanny and a couple of part time nannies for when the kids are not all in the same place or Megan and Jim are out of town. When that happens two would need to work at once.
“Jim is useless”. Truer words never spoken.
I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE LEFT HIS ASS THE MINUTE HE ASK FOR A PRENUP,BUT LIKE SHE SAID HE WAS VERY CONTROLLING #STAND STRONG MEGHAN GOD GOD GOT YOU AND KIDS ?
Why are you shouting?
Such Bullshit! Apparently, getting a prenup was one of the only responsible things Jim has done for his children.
Absolutely, Snail, that’s the true reality show I’d put at the top of my list. I’ve always likes MKE, & a show with her & the kids & maybe her circle of real friends would be very educational. Listen up, Bravo, or better channels! We don’t need any made-up storylines. Real people, real stuff, please. And hey, this lady can have all the nannies she wants!
I guess it’s safe to say they are not going to reconcile. It’s for the best anyway. When I first saw them on RHOC I didn’t see them making it then and that was before all of this mess. I think the IVF with Aspen was him going along to shut Meghan up and he did not want anymore children. Do I think he loves his children? Absolutely! But he’s very hands off. Meghan is young and tough she will move on from this.
I agree, he didn’t really want more children. He loves them but shes on her own. Now her every moment is those kids and Jim is neglected. Boo hoo Jim. Grow a pair, life isnt all about you and your fun.
She can raise those kids with her head held high.
It never works out when one person REALLY wants kids and the other REALLY does not.
I see NOT ONE redeeming feature in Jim Edmonds. From his dismissive attitude to his red face.
Erasing his daughter’s iPad — a dick move by a dick. Or, more likely, a weenie move by a teenie weenie.
Yeah, his red face has always made me think he’s a heavy drinker. So I wasn’t surprised when Meghan said he was drinking and partying with younger women. Honestly, Jim looks like a younger (and only very slightly better looking) version of TRav.
The use of a certain little blue pill also can cause red face. IJS.
Meghan made an error in judgement when she married him, and another error when she pushed him to go through IVF with her when even the most casual observer could see that he wanted no part of more kids. Unfortunately, she now lives with her bad decisions.
Shredder, she would never agree with you that her children were a bad decision. Think about how hurtful your remarks could be to her.
He’s the textbook definition of a manipulator and emotional abuser. I hope she comes through this and finds happiness. I hope he finds himself in a gutter.
I’m sure the Bravo execs are tripping over themseves to bring Meghan back to the show.
That man is a troglodyte and Megan is well rid of him.
He is a liar and a cheater. I don’t believe any spin coming out of his mouth. I am on the fence as to whether she knew he was a cheater prior to their wedding. The ex-wife says she and Jim were still together when he started seeing Meghan, Meghan says they weren’t. Most likely, Jim was telling the wife one thing and Meghan another. And I wonder how much of the family’s acrimony toward Meghan comes from misinformation given to them by Jim. Has Jim been making Meghan a scapegoat for his continued failures as a father? I dunno, but it seems very plausible. He has zero credibility.
Meghan was clear she wanted children prior to their marriage, so I’m not buying the “she forced him to have more kids” BS. He definitely appeared to want to have son.
Meghan appears to be fairly intelligent, yet she has been so dumb about Jim.
“Meghan was clear she wanted children prior to their marriage, so I’m not buying the “she forced him to have more kids” BS. He definitely appeared to want to have son.”
SO AGREE. It’s not like she tricked him into knocking her up by skipping her birth control. They went through two very long, very difficult procedures and CHOSE to have two kids.
I wish these 2 could stop putting this crap out there. Be adults & do it for your children. Stop
She’s definitely more mature and well spoken than he is. But these details of his controlling behavior are disturbing. I do hope they keep the crap private going forward because it’s definitely going to be messy. I’ve said it before-he has a pattern of being a cheater and absentee parent. Old dog, new tricks thing. I’m rooting for her to get full custody and all his money. He is definitely a douchebag of the highest order. What a dick and a POS!
I’m also thinking his ego is bigger than his bank account… I think he’s the breadwinner for all the people that have spouted off publicly. But sorry folks, the minor children including the one with special needs are due the majority of his finances now. He best be looking for yet another gig while he’s still employable. He is soon to be a has been (I’m guessing he won’t handle that transition well either)
I just think of him living all alone in the big old fugly house. He won’t be able to do that. He’ll have another woman in there in a hurry. He’s not the type that can live alone.
That house is more bulky than you can imagine. Jim could put every relative and the nannies in there and not see them for days.
I worry Girly-Girl will get lost. She’s a bitty dog and that place is a maze. I can see her pottying in a wrong spot because the house is big and confusing, and getting punished.
They need to get off social media and sort this. It’s offseason. Jim can work out a decent settlement, be kind, and return as Golden Boy in time for spring training.
And I now believe he suckered Meghan in. She was convenient.
I was shocked when I saw the photos. SO BIG. And very unattractive. Hopefully the exterior just isn’t finished yet. I didn’t really look at the photo that closely. I just kind of went ewwww and moved on. Do you know the square footage?
Well now I want to see the big, fugly house! Times like this make me re-think not being on social media. I can barely keep up here so it’s too late for me, I’d totally fuck up IG. Lol!
This will only make sense to St Louis people. IJC: Lindbergh south to the Schnucks with white pillars. Right. It is behind Plaza Frontenac. We stumbled across it-we think. It was HUGE. It is very far back.
TT allegedly 17,000 sq ft incl garage. Allegedly.
Just read what you sent me about her CLOSET being 1,500 square feet. That is bigger than my entire house.
I wonder if Jim spoke to Haley before her interview. I feel like a good parent would have discouraged her from getting involved. I honestly don’t know about the personal circumstances that lead to her perception of Megan but I do think it didn’t necessarily make her look good to attack Megan through the media. She’s so young, it’s unfortunate her name is now publicly associated with this unflattering interview.
Love Meghan’s digs at Jim, especially the IPAD.
I believe Meghan loved Jim but not sure Jim loved Meghan. He treated her badly on the show. You can’t lose what you never had. Meghan should move on and not look back.
Here’s what I don’t get, as much as I read Meghan’s statement like a crackhead who found a rock, I have to wonder who in the world does she think she needs to explain herself to? And in US Weekly for that matter? It’s none of our business and he looked foolish enough without her contribution. And where are all of these high priced lawyers? Why are they not making their clients shut the hell up and stop talking to the press?
Jim was presented on RHOC as an unaffectionate , chauvinistic husband with a young trophy wife so no surprise he believes he is the one who can dictate when the marriage ends. Meghan did the right thing leaving the show and although she loves the limelight, I hope she can be convinced not to return to the show as I don’t think she was a great fit but instead use her social media platform positively as she does seem to be a great mom with undoubtedly major challenges ahead.
I like how Meghan is sticking it to Jim. He’s gotten away with his bad behavior a long time. He miscalculated. His other ex wives didn’t have the media following. Meghan is calling him out & people are listening!! It is terrible how he is turning his family against her. Really shows what kind of guy he is. Although, I do feel like Meghan knew what she was getting into but wanted the status & money. I don’t know why she wanted to give him a boy so bad. He already has a son!! For some reason, I thought Meghan was trying to give him a son, but he already has one!! So yeah, she got a little greedy with that, in my opinion.
I kind of feel guilty enjoying the entertainment of this divorce drama. They could keep it going a little longer if they want for my entertainment purposes.
Thanks for posting on this 🙂
She had me with her statement. Thoughtful, well written, calm and to the point. Then the iPad story. Woman, you rich, you can afford a new iPad. They’re a couple hundred dollars. You obviously threw that in there to make him look like a dick (which he is) and took your whole point away.
Does this Edmonds even work? If so, I would hope that “real” men around him see Edmonds for the cad he is and that he is blackballed by decent folks. Hats off to Meghan who has a battle before her with a disabled child. I pray that the child benefits from the hyperbaric chamber treatments.
Meghan is being gaslighted for sure! Did you see where Jim called the police on her for drinking and saying he is not sure she can take care of the kids? This is not good, this is not good. I hope she puts him at arm’s length and has the best legal team possible. He is obviously up for some underhanded trickery. You don’t need binoculars to see that he is setting the stage to prove her unfit and not have to pay child support. Run Meghan run!
I just read about that. After Meghan posted that she and the kids had not seen Jim since the spilt he suddenly started visiting his children. So he wanted to come to the house “to spend time with the kids” and she went out for drinks with her friends. Clearly, she didn’t want to be around him. So HE CALLS THE COPS saying that she may be unfit to parent? SERIOUSLY? And the cops come and see she is just fine. This dude can’t stop himself from being an asshole. He’s Thomas Ravenel 2.0.
I am afraid for Meghan, very very afraid. How can he be at a bar until 1:30 in the morning with the nanny and then call the police on her when she is out till 10:30? That is a double standard. This is high drama and manipulation tactics.
Jim Edmonds has single handedly surpassed the shenanigans and machinations of all of the other RHO Ex club combined. I read where people are congratulating him for out-douching Jim Bellino and David Beador. I always knew athletics were competitive, but dang this guy is taking a bazooka to a badminton game.
Thanks for commenting in this thread. I too am concerned about her. I don’t want to make a billion posts about everything Jim does. It’s literally Kathryn and Thomas all over again in a way. It’s going to be exhausting.
From the interior photos, Meghan was at a very sedate local restaurant (I have been there). It is very close by her house. In no way was she out carousing.
The local Ladue cops are gonna get tired of the calls. I personally hope they arrest Jim for harrassment. He needs to knock this off.
Wow the Nanny’s boyfriend has dumped her an now she is hawking stuff on IG? GUILTY AS FUCKING CHARGED.
I completely agree! Whatever Meghan and the media have discovered, it is probably a 100 times worse, a hundred times worse. Jim needs to get a grip and quit trying to play her and make her look bad. I now feel like he incited/agreed to all of the “family” statements that came out about her so immediately.
I hope this woman has some good family and friends support.
He is A POS who calls the cops because she left the house for an hour or two while he watched his own kids? I HATE THIS FOOL!
Wow! All I can think of is when they first came on the show, how happy Andy was and his fangirling of Jim. That should’ve been the first clue that Jim was a psychopath. Andy only loves the crazy ones.
This latest news is disturbing. What a complete POS Jim Edmonds is. I see not just another messy divorce and custody fight coming, but next up a restraining order against Jimmy. No wonder he’s been divorced so many times. Narcissistic control freak. Sadly he will find yet another young girl to be wife number??? I’m starting to lose count already. But I hope and pray that he ends up having to sell his big fugly house and give all his money to Megan for child support for those little ones. God, I hope she has awesome attorneys and cleans him out! And the next chick he’s with will probably want kids too. Dude needs a vasectomy and should stop at lucky number 7. He’s an absentee father anyway and he’s not getting any younger. I really hate him now!
Godspeed, Megan!
Jim Edmonds got a vasectomy years ago but had his sperm frozen. He had to be onboard and give his consent for Meghan to even get pregnant. At least he doesn’t hav to worry about getting baseball groupies or nanny’s pregnant the natural way.
Well shit. I didn’t think about that. (Because commented before coffee today lol) Can the courts force him to destroy the remaining sperm? He has no business having MORE KIDS! Omg. Can we start a hashtag?
