Speaking with Heather McDonald on Thursday’s episode of the Juicy Scoop podcast, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum explained the hectic happenings which occurred before she was set to take their 3-year-old daughter Aspen Edmonds to school by 9 a.m.:
“It all happened very quickly.”
The former Bravolebrity revealed the pair had a “contentious argument” with their nanny Carly Wilson — whom Jim has been accused of having an affair with, though they have both denied this — before she left the house that morning:
“[I] got scared of Jim that he was going to become physical with me — he was very upset — and so I called the police, the police came, and at that point was when he literally packed a bag and left.”
The 35-year-old added:
“He packed up his hard drive from his computer, the credit card out of my wallet, like, everything so I had no access to his money. Like, rummaged through my purse while I was upstairs hiding from him with my mom and dad, took the credit card out of my wallet.”
In addition to taking her credit card, she alleged the 49-year-old also took a pair of Chanel boots and a pair of jeans which she had been gifted the previous day for their five-year anniversary:
“He took my gifts for the anniversary! I opened them the day before and I said thank you, I love them. And then he took them back! That’s the level that we’re working with.”
It wasn’t until after he packed his belongings and left that she discovered in a publication he had filed for divorce.
Today, the pair are doing their best to co-parent their three children. The former MLB player is dating again (with a woman the estranged couple once allegedly had a threesome with, no less), which has prompted a slew of direct messages on Instagram for Meghan:
“It’s now public that Jim is dating, but I don’t know what it was, but all of a sudden I’ve gotten a lot of DMs. Which I love because I love that Lizzo song. I feel like Lizzo now. I’ve read them and haven’t accepted them into my inbox.”
In response to her comments made during the podcast episode, Jim’s rep Steve Honig made a lengthy statement to People:
“Jim has no desire to roll in the mud with anyone, nor does he have any interest in playing this out in the media. 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.”
Honig continued:
“Publicly discussing private matters is not in the best interest of his children and he is not going to engage on that level. All of this sort of begs the question of what is Meghan is hoping to accomplish by spewing her family’s business in public instead of privately talking matters over with Jim, her friends, a therapist or whomever she trusts. I think you’d be pretty hard-pressed to find someone who improved their divorce situation by going on a podcast.”
