Meghan King filed a temporary restraining order against ex-husband Jim Edmonds on June 18 after he was allegedly abusive to her, Page Six can confirm.
According to Missouri court records, the case type is labeled as “adult abuse [without] stalking.”
A spokesperson for the St. Louis County Court told Page Six Wednesday that the documents are confidential due to the “high security level” of the case and can only be obtained with permission from one of the parties involved.
According to TMZ, King, 37, alleges in the records that Edmonds, 52, exhibited “frequent and consistent verbal abuse” toward her via text and the co-parenting app, Family Wizard.
Sources told the outlet that the arguments pertained to co-parenting issues between the former couple, who shares 5-year-old daughter Aspen, and 4-year-old twin boys Hart and Hayes.
Edmonds’ rep, Steve Honig, told TMZ in response to the filing, “This request for an order of protection is completely baseless and furthermore makes an absolute mockery of the pain suffered by the millions of women in this country who are legitimate victims of abuse.”
When reached by Page Six, he declined to comment further. King and her attorney could not immediately be reached.
A hearing to determine whether the restraining order will be made permanent is scheduled for Sept. 19.
King and Edmonds, whose divorce was finalized in May 2021, have had a long history of public disputes.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum previously accused the former MLB star of cheating on her several times throughout their marriage. However, he denied those claims.
Since their split, King has shared that her relationship with Edmonds has only gotten “worse.”
“It’s horrible,” the former reality star said on Caroline Stanbury’s “Divorced Not Dead” podcast in July, weeks after the restraining order filing. “It’s so detrimental for the kids [and] for us as individuals. It sucks.”
At the time, King also shared how using the Family Wizard app helped her co-parent.
“It makes me feel safer because it makes me feel like the verbal abuse will be toned down a little bit more,” she explained. “Unfortunately, and shockingly, that’s not always the case, but it does give me a little bit more solace knowing that I have eyes that can be on it.”
Meanwhile, Edmonds has called out King for her transparency with her followers about their son Hart’s issues as a result of his cerebral palsy.
In July, the former Bravo star shared she was struggling to potty train the little boy. Edmonds slammed his ex-wife at the time, telling TMZ via his rep that he wished King would “stop putting their son and his challenges in the spotlight.”
