Jim Edmonds’ wife called the police on his ex/Real Housewives of Orange County alum, Meghan King. Kortnie Edmonds alleged that Meghan entered their home without permission.
In a nutshell:
Us Weekly obtained a report from the Frontenac Police Department detailing the incident. Kortnie plans to press charges, despite Meghan denying the charges.
The report said Meghan went “to the residence several times throughout the day and was currently on scene causing a disturbance.”
Meghan fled the scene, but cops pulled her over. She told police she was at the home to drop off clothes for her daughter.
Meghan’s side of the story, in detail:
Earlier in the day, RHOC‘s former super sleuth contacted her ex-husband, Jim Edmonds, to arrange the clothing drop off,” the report stated. “Meghan contacted Jim’s current wife, Kortnie Edmonds.”
But Kortnie was shocked and “visibly upset” to see Meghan in her home. She told her to leave the dress and leave immediately.
The police de-escalated the situation quickly. Meghan was not arrested or detained. “She is over this back and forth. She thinks it’s ridiculous. It was a very simple interaction that didn’t need police. She just wants to take care of her family in peace.”
According to Kortnie …
Jim’s current wife gave the police a different story. Kortnie told the officers that Meghan showed up at the home around 5 p.m.
She alleged Meghan “ran the doorbell multiple times” and walked to the door to get her step-daughter’s dress that she was supposed to “leave at the doorstep.”
“Meghan refused to hand Kortnie the dress and ‘pulled away and asked to speak to’ [her daughter]. Kortnie told Meghan that [her daughter] wasn’t home and she was at a baseball game with Jim,” the report noted.
“As Kortnie walked back towards her office, she heard Meghan inside the home yelling for [her daughter],” the report said. “Kortnie walked back to the front door and observed Meghan standing inside the house approximately 5 feet from the doorway.”
Kortnie allegedly told King to “get out of my house.”
“Meghan slowly walked back outside the residence, but wedged her foot in the door briefly so Kortnie couldn’t shut the door completely. After Meghan moved her foot, Kortnie closed the door,” the officer wrote as he summarized Kortnie’s side of things.
What’s next?
Kortnie initially said she did not want to press charges, but she later “called the police department to state. She did want to press harassment charges.”
Jim arrived at the scene and told officers he had surveillance footage of the encounter to support his wife’s case against Meghan.
The report was forwarded to the Frontenac Municipal Prosecutor for consideration of charges. The police case was reclassified as “inactive.”
So, Kortnie filed a restraining order against Meghan. They’re ordered to stay 150 feet away from each other at activities for the children. Also, Meghan King would not mention Kortnie on social media.
Meghan allegedly agreed to a consent order to avoid prolonged litigation.
