Bodycam Shows Meghan King Calling Jim Edmonds ‘Emotionally Abusive’ as His Rep Rejects Claim

Prosecutors declined charges after the May 1 incident, resulting in a court-approved separation order.

Overview

  • Newly published Frontenac Police bodycam footage captures Meghan King telling officers her ex-husband Jim Edmonds was "incredibly emotionally abusive" and that he uses his name and money to pressure her.
  • Kortnie Edmonds called 911 on May 1, alleging King entered the couple’s Missouri home without permission and caused a disturbance, with police paperwork listing Kortnie as the victim and King as the subject.
  • Officers stopped King near the residence and warned they would detain her as they verified details, and she told police she was there to drop off their daughter’s dress after coordinating with Jim and contacting Kortnie.
  • The case was referred to the municipal prosecutor, who declined to pursue charges, and a subsequent restraining-order filing was resolved through a consent order setting 150-foot separation at children’s events and restricting social-media references.
  • A representative for Jim Edmonds dismissed King’s allegations as "telling tales" and emphasized his role as an active father, while King’s camp has said the encounter was mischaracterized.
