Jim Edmonds' daughter slams 'RHOC' star Meghan King after she accused her dad of cheating on her: 'The selfishness is miserable'
Jim Edmonds' daughter has voiced her disapproval of her father's estranged wife and her stepmother, Meghan King Edmonds after she accused him of having an extramarital affair with their former nanny.
Speaking to US Weekly on Friday, Hayley Edmonds, 22, slammed the 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Meghan, 35, saying she was glad that her father, 49, decided to file for divorce.
“I’ve been waiting for it. For probably… three years?” she told the outlet. “I think it’s impossible to be happy with someone so … I don’t know if I would say narcissistic but, she, like, creates her own problems and loves conflict and things like that. The selfishness is miserable for anyone to be around, let alone be married to her. My whole family has grown closer because we have all had to stay silent in hopes to protect my dad and no one can do it anymore.”
She also weighed in on "disturbing" accusations by Meghan that her father was having an extramarital affair with Carly Wilson, who used to work as a nanny in their household.
“They’re family! They are around every day and they care [of] those kids and they care about my dad because he’s just like … they want to help him,” Hayley said. “They’re just young girls that are just trying to work and be positive and be happy and enjoy their job. And the way [Meghan] stepped over the line is just completely disrespectful and it’s just absurd.”
She added: “Especially the way that she treated Carly is mind-blowing to me because she holds herself to very high moral standards and she is a great girl who moved to St Louis across the country because she loves those kids,” Hayley continued. “And it’s just… absolutely ludicrous I would say… I keep saying I’m shocked, but I’m not surprised at the way that she goes after people so ruthlessly.”
Lastly, Hayley defended Jim, despite the fact that his recent scandals with Meghan have “ruined his reputation.” She emphasized on the fact that she wanted people to hear her father's side of the story because she knew he’s a “great person."
“I’m hoping he’ll put himself first and be happy and be able to be a dad again,” she said. “And I’m stoked that I can have my dad fully back and not have to tiptoe around [Meghan]. Everyone that cares about him is proud that he finally took the leap of leaving her.”
