Meghan King Edmonds is speaking out publicly just days after reports surfaced that her husband, former MLB star Jim Edmonds, had a “lapse in judgment” in apparently sending explicit text message pictures to another woman while his wife was giving birth to their twins.
The retired baseball player — and current TV commentator — has denied any physical contact with the woman in a statement to the media. Nevertheless, the fallout from the alleged nude text message pictures has been substantial, especially for his wife, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum.

In his initial statement to the media, first published by Us Weekly, the former MLB outfielder said (below):
“Regrettably, I had a lapse in judgment. I engaged in an inappropriate conversation with this person. At no time was there any type of relationship or physical contact. Absolutely none. This is someone trying to profit from my name. I am aware she has done this to others in the past. Clearly, I made a very poor decision to expose myself and my family to this type of person. For this, I am truly sorry and sought forgiveness from my wife,” he continued. “I’m outraged over the intent to ruin my family and intend to take legal action. We were never having any problems in our marriage. My attorney is in possession of documents wherein this person has admitted fabricating large portions of her ‘story’ … I never had any sort of a physical relationship outside of my marriage with her or anyone else.”
Wow.
Edmonds, who later called it a “weak moment,” also told TMZ he and Meghan were “doing good” and “just gonna have to work through it” together as a couple. We’ll see…
But for her part, the RHOC alum seems intent on working through it to fix and improve her marriage — and she said so much in a new blog post published on Friday afternoon, revealing more of her thoughts about the alleged sexting affair and her marriage to Jim.
To open the post, the former reality TV star wrote (below):
“I don’t want to write this but here I am, writing. Now Page 6 and US Weekly can get those quotes they want and you guys can get the truth.
I found out the same way you guys did: in the tabloids. I never left a voicemail for the other woman. I called Jimmy and he confessed to me that he had exchanged lewd photos with this woman over the course of several months and a physical relationship never existed. He paid her off to protect me so I’d never find out.
Yet here I am writing about it.
Do I believe him? I don’t know. Because I don’t trust him anymore. Physical or not, he still had an affair and he admits this to me.”
Wow…
She continued on, getting really real about what it feels like to be cheated on like this (below):
“Marriage is hard, we’ve been through our ups and downs, I’ve talked about it openly. A relationship takes two but it doesn’t take two to cheat.
I did nothing wrong, I don’t deserve this. I did nothing except be pregnant with our twins and try to have a healthy pregnancy. So what is so broken in him to propel him to do this to me? To us? It wasn’t one mistake, one lapse in judgement. I saw the texts – each one represents his decision to throw our marriage in the trash. Why did he self-sabotage? And who sends nudies? Doesn’t everyone know better than this in 2019? What drives someone to self-destruct in such a way?
I don’t care about my stupid massive house, I don’t care about my new car, I don’t care about my diamonds. What does any of that mean when I can’t have the most basic needs met? It means nothing. Smoke and mirrors.”
Very real and very honest! She’s not wrong!!!
But ultimately, she remains optimistic as she wraps things up (below):
“Ultimately, I have hope our marriage can recover.
I do not fault any other person except my husband. There are so many people out there with bad intentions and it’s our responsibility to ignore and rise above. One slimy person doesn’t make another person cheat. And there are a million more slimy people to take “slimy person #1’s” place.
Marriage is a choice, every. damn. day. On the days I hate him, on the days I want to run from him, on the days I get approached by some hot dude on instagram luring me with trips or money or whatever the hell else the slimy people do. So yes, marriage is a choice on the bad days. And on the good days marriage is easy and beautiful.
No one said it would be easy, I just didn’t think it would be this hard.”
Wow.
