Jim Edmonds and Wife Kortnie Slam Meghan King as a Liar

Jim Edmonds and Kortnie O’Connor are telling all about their ongoing drama with Meghan King.

As the Real Housewives of Orange County alum continues to bash the baseball nice, most just lately accusing him of “intimidation” and utilizing their kids, six-year-old daughter Aspen and four-year-old twin sons Hayes and Hart, to harm her, and seemingly calling out Kortnie for sharing pics of the youngsters towards her needs, Jim and Kortnie fired again at her many alleged lies.

“I think that the only thing I could hang my hat on is every single thing that comes out of her mouth is a lie,” Jim started on the January 18 episode of the Hollywood Raw podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn, noting that Meghan had lied about him and Kortnie getting married on her birthday.

“It was on the 25th by the way, not my ex’s birthday … I don’t even know where that came from,” he admitted.

When Jim and Kortnie first started relationship in early 2020, months after Jim and Meghan referred to as it quits on their five-year marriage, Meghan claimed she and Kortnie have been truly associates — and had engaged in a threesome with Jim.

“I was actually friends with him first,” Kortnie clarified. “Mutual friends of us introduced us at Stage Coach and we were all there together and as a big group …  She says that we were best friends or something and I like [stole] her husband and it’s like so far from the truth because I never even really knew her.”

Meghan additionally alleged on the time that Jim had an inappropriate relationship with their nanny of three years, which Jim denies, saying he was extra of a father determine to the girl — at Meghan’s request.

“Meghan was like, ‘Here, she doesn’t have a dad, take her out for her 21st birthday’ … ‘She doesn’t have a dad do this, do that.’ So she was like our child that was helping us with the kids,” he defined.

According to Jim, Meghan has since admitted she made up the face rumor as a result of “she was mad.”

“I was like, ‘Well that’s unfortunate because that’s just ruined her life’ … She went after our nanny Carly so hard that she lost everything, all self-esteem, everything, had to move outta the city, start over. And it was awful,” Jim revealed. “It was just like something you don’t do to a 23, 24-year-old child.”

In the years since their cut up, Jim claims he’s spent “close to a hundred,” probably referencing $100,000, on their divorce and ongoing custody battle.

“We had an ironclad prenup and she battled it for a year and a half,” he defined.

And in relation to Kortnie, she feels Meghan’s antics could possibly be the results of “mental illness.”

“I’m not a doctor. I can’t like label her that and [nor] do I want to … [But] I worry because it’s, why would you want yourself to constantly be going through all that turmoil and put yourself and your family through that? It’s like you’re humiliating your family and yourself and everybody around you.”

“They say we should have like a court evaluate her mental state and see [what] they come up with [and] if she wants to do that with him too, that’s fair,” she added.

Amid Meghan’s on-line assaults towards Jim and Kortnie, Jim has additionally been handled a safety order (that was later dropped), which Kortnie stated Meghan filed simply earlier than they wed — although they’d been in touch.

“We’ve had the kids, we’ve seen her, she’s been at the house … She was asking to meet at the kids’ school the day before. I’m like, wait, if you’re in fear of your life, are you calling him saying, ‘Let’s ride together?’” Kortnie famous.

Jim additionally took goal at his ex-wife’s antics.

“The first thing on the thing was I that I kicked her dog, which was completely false. I threatened her dad. There were like five things on this list before it said that I, uh, that she was scared of me. And so it really never got filed,” Jim defined. “It was written by a child’s handwriting, basically. Like she filled the whole thing out herself and sent it into the police station.”

Although it has been over three years since Meghan and Jim’s marriage ended (simply as Meghan’s former RHOC co-star Vicki Gunvalson predicted), Kortnie says their co-parenting relationship has gotten worse.

“In the beginning, they we were able to see each other and exchange the kids and stuff, but now it’s gotten to the point where we have a nanny doing it,” Kortnie revealed. “If I’m needed, I’ll step in. But she’s made it so that it’s hard for me even to co-parent with her because of the things she says about me. She’s embarrassed me, humiliated me. And it’s like, how many punches do you take to the face before you just say enough?”

According to Kortnie, even Jim’s older children are impacted.

“They’re in junior high [and] they get the wrath … It’s not fair,” she stated. “They’re getting teased at school and things at school. Like she doesn’t care at all about that.”

When Jim was requested what he’d inform Meghan if he had a likelihood, Jim had a stern message:

“You tell the lawyers, you tell your friends, you wanna co-parent. But then every time I turn around you’re bashing me on every talk show, on every TV show, on every, you know, even the simplest post that she makes is taking a jab at me … Move on. You’ve been married, you’ve dated four different guys that have actually lived in your house with you for a period of time. You have kids. I’m the dad. Like, when are you going to stop putting all this in writing so the kids don’t see it?”

One of the issues Jim is most involved about is Meghan’s public discussions about her intercourse life and companions.

“Girls, as we know, will be catty. [Aspen’s] going to be in a situation where someone’s gonna say, ‘Hey, your mom hooked up with uh, so-and-so and so and so and so and so in the same weekend.’ And, ‘Is she a lesbian? Is she straight? Is she bi? … How many guys has she slept with in a year?’” Jim expressed. “[I’m] just worried about my kids … I can’t imagine saying that stuff, not thinking, ‘Man, my kids are gonna hear this someday.’”

And talking of his children, Jim made it clear that Hart doesn’t have cerebral palsy.

“It’s called [Periventricular Leukomalacia, or PVL] and it’s kind of like its own little thing. It’s kind of the very beginning stages. So it’s not technically cerebral palsy,” Jim confirmed of his son’s prognosis. “There are just so many different versions … He has behavioral issues and stuff and he’s slower, but he’s catching up and, and you, if you interacted with him for a couple of hours, you wouldn’t even know.”

“Why put that stamp on him?” Jim questioned. “He was never diagnosed with [cerebral palsy] … Even my parents are like, ‘Does she not understand that this is gonna label this child for the rest of his life?’ … The thing that worries me the most is that, um, his friends are going to eventually know and see and read … The kids aren’t gonna understand and parents are gonna say, ‘Oh, watch out for him. He’s got issues.’”

As for whether or not or not he and Meghan will ever have peace, Jim stated they won’t “as long as she talks” as Kortnie was extra hopeful.

“My hope is maybe when she’s happy we can all be happy,” she acknowledged.
