Jim Edmonds slammed his Real Housewives of Orange County ex-wife Meghan King's allegations that they had a threesome with one of her friends before their October 2019 split.
The former MLB athlete appeared on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy on Monday, September 21, and denied the conversation when host Andy Cohen brought up King and her previous claims about their sex life.
“I’m going to cut you off right there. That was all false too. That was a joke. I don’t even know how she comes up with this stuff,” Edmonds said, according to Us Weekly. “To be honest with you, I mean, if we really want to go down that road, she was the one that was pushing for them. And I was like, ‘This is completely ridiculous.'”
He added, “I think that she really needed a story line for her [podcast],” he said. “Just like she needed a storyline for the last year on Housewives … I’m just glad that I’m out of it and I’m happy and everything’s going good. And I’ve turned my life around.”
In October 2019, the former professional baseball player and Meghan King Edmonds called it quits after five years of marriage. The former RHOC star accused her then-husband of being unfaithful with their nanny, which both Jim and the caretaker denied.
Three months later, Meghan alleged that she and Jim had a threesome during their marriage with O’Connor, whom Jim was spotted with in Cabo in January.
“This girl who I thought was my friend. I cast aside my uncomfortability with a threesome, everything I had in my head about a threesome being weird and gross, because I was fun and wanted to do things for my husband,” Meghan said on her podcast at the time.
Jim, for his part, responded to his estranged wife’s claims in a statement through his rep: “Meghan decided to publicly broadcast what was essentially a 30-minute therapy session about her marriage and she continues to tell stories to anyone who will listen and use this as an opportunity to get attention for herself.”
Meghan and Jim share three kids: daughter Aspen and twins Hayes and Hart.
