Meghan King Edmonds Spills All On Divorce From Jim: ‘I’m Sick of The Abuse’

Meghan King Edmonds is “sick of the abuse” from her estranged husband as they divorce after five years of marriage.
The former Real Housewives of Orange County star claims she was blindsided by Jim Edmonds when he filed for divorce, as she accused him of cheating with their nanny.
Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly, Meghan ripped into Jim and the way their split has played out in the public eye.
“I have to say that when he gave the ‘nice’ interview a few days ago, he was completely speaking for me. At that time, I had not exchanged one text message with him, and I have still not spoken to him on the phone,” Meghan said.
The mother of three said she has maintained a “calm, consistent, routine-based and light” at her home where she lives with their daughter Aspen, 2, and their twin 1-year-old sons, Hayes and Hart.
Hart was diagnosed with a neurological disorder as Jim’s sexting scandal broke.
“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 claimed that Jim’s statement was only his side of the situation.
“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.”
Jim said that he was “hoping for some peace, normalcy, and the ability to move forward in a healthy, happy direction for every single person involved” and said he loved his family “and will make it right again.”
Meghan completely disagreed, claiming she had no idea her marriage was over.
“Divorce had been discussed as something that could be possible, but I truly thought he could change and work through his demons,” she said.
“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.”
Meghan also slammed Jim for commenting on Instagram that she would now have to worry about money.
"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," she said.
The ex-RHOC star admitted that she did have a pre-nup,"but it doesn’t pertain to child support or custody."
Meghan was critical of Jim’s comments about the nanny, Carly Wilson.
"I thought the point of a nanny is for them to act as if our children are her surrogate children while we are away, so his statement describing her as a daughter was confusing to me. My husband has seven children, so I don’t understand why or how he’
