Meghan King Edmonds is giving an update on her marriage following her husband Jim Edmonds public sexting cheating scandal. The Real Housewives of Orange County star is adamant that her husband did not have a physical affair with Jennifer McFelia Villegas, who she calls a "con artist."
"We're still married, we're still together, we're not separated. I know my engagement ring is well known! I'm still wearing it. I've never stopped wearing it," she told The Daily Mail. "We're in the family home, we're in the same bed. We're not having therapy, we're talking."
The mother-of-three reveals how she discovered her husband's alleged indiscretion. "I found out the same day, the same way that everybody else did," she explained. "A person I don't know forwarded me a link on social media. I clicked on it and read it."
"When I read it, I had a feeling, I knew in my gut there was truth to it. I was shocked and I took a shower."
"I'd never experienced a turmoil of emotions like it; I felt overwhelmingly alone and sad."
Meghan then reveals how her husband came clean and told her everything. "We were still a normal, married couple. Physically, nothing was missing from our relationship. Jim was in New York working. We FaceTimed and he came clean and told me everything," she said.
"He was extremely emotional, crying and remorseful. He wanted to fly straight back to be with me but I told him that I did not want him to do that until he had finished working, so that’s what he did."
"When he was back it was like I was having two separate emotions. On one hand I was so sad and hurt and on the other, he is my best friend in the world and the only person I want to be with at a difficult time. It was confusing."
She continued: "I felt at the time that those revelations would be the tip of the iceberg, that a lot more would come out. I was actually very scared, too. But as we talked I just wanted to get everything out, get the truth out and start to build."
"There turned out to be a lot less to come out. There was no physical relationship. He only met this other woman when she stalked him one time," Meghan shared. "This woman is a con artist. She's gone after so many baseball players. She was out to get some money and she got it, then she was on to the next one."
"It was a baiting kind of thing. She would do that and move on. Believe me I am still mad at him but once I figured that out, what she was like, I was able to pull our family together. It actually made it more bearable."
Meghan then reveals why she knew that her husband never had a physical relationship with Villegas.
"The second I saw her photo I saw she was disgusting. I saw how gross she was and I knew, "All good," she told The Daily Mail. "I knew he would never touch her. That helped me. Then I knew it was just a sexting thing. The pics she sent him were all highly filtered and she had sunglasses on, body parts were altered. It was all very sex related."
She continued: "She told him that they had met in the past. She made up some story about how he helped her ten years ago by carrying some stuff to her car or something.Then she wanted to know about his workouts then the naked pictures started coming. They never met ten years or so ago either, that was a lie."
"I can’t relate to somebody like that because I’m not immoral." said Meghan: "You know what, she doesn’t really mean anything to me. She's just like a function of my husband's bad decision. I don’t want to think about her and I have nothing I want to say to her. Do I feel deep emotion about her at this point? No."
Meghan then reveals why she hasn't reported Villegas to law enforcement. "I haven’t gone to the FBI. I’m not wasting my time."
Other people might have gone to the FBI about her but not me, I am concentrating on my marriage and my children.'
The former Bravo reality star says time is going to help them rebuild their relationship.
"Time, time, time,"she said, adding "with each passing day trust will rebuild, just like in any relationship that has been hit hard."
