Shortly after leaving a cryptic comment on his Instagram before taking it private (see below), Jim Edmonds spoke exclusively with Us Weekly amid reports of his split with "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Meghan King Edmonds.
"It's dangerous, irresponsible and hurtful to all to allow a rumor to be spread to the world because of insecurities," Edmonds told the outlet in a statement. This would seem to be in response to Meghan alleging that he was having an affair with their family nanny, Carly Wilson. Wilson has denied the allegations.
According to Us Weekly, Edmonds made this statement after they had reported that police were called to his St. Louis home on Saturday. Meghan's mother reportedly called the authorities when Jim went to their home to get some clothes while she was at a concert with their children.
A source said that Jim stated he was in compliance with authorities who had told him to get his clothes when Meghan wasn't there. Police then reportedly asked Meghan's mother to leave.
