Meghan King called 911 after a stranger made “threatening” comments to the Real Housewives of Orange County star. The case is still under investigation.
Meghan left RHOC in 2017 after three seasons. At the time, she was married to professional baseball player Jim Edmonds, who is the father of her three kids. They divorced after her exit from the show, and she later married Cuffe Biden Owens, the nephew of President Joe Biden. The couple annulled the marriage a year later.
According to Us Weekly, Meghan called 911 on September 7 after a stranger made “threatening” comments. A Kirkwood, Missouri, police officer drove to her house to get the report.
In this report, Meghan claimed a stranger had been sending texts for months, “making threatening remarks.” The case was closed that day, but a police department rep told the outlet that they’re still investigating.
Back in September, the wife of Meghan’s ex-husband Jim called the police after Meghan allegedly entered their home while looking for her daughter. Meghan, however, claimed she went to drop off her daughter’s clothes after Jim requested it.
“Meghan advised she had contacted her ex-husband, Jim Edmonds, earlier in the day to arrange the clothing drop off,” said the report. “Meghan contacted Jim’s current wife, Kortnie.”
A source close to the RHOC star told the outlet, “It was shocking to [Meghan] that it happened in the first place … She is over this back and forth. She thinks it’s ridiculous. It was a very simple interaction that didn’t need police. Meghan is unfazed because she doesn’t want to escalate conflict … She just wants to take care of her family in peace.”
But in the report, Kortnie told the authorities that Meghan “refused to hand Kortnie the dress and ‘pulled away and asked to speak to’ [her daughter]. Kortnie told Meghan that [her daughter] wasn’t home and she was at a baseball game with Jim … Meghan became upset.”
Kortnie alleged that Meghan entered the house to yell for their daughter. She exited when Kortnie told her to leave, but then, Meghan put her foot in the door.
“After Meghan moved her foot, Kortnie closed the door,” said the officer.
Meghan’s rep told Us Weekly, “The recent incident involving Meghan King has been mischaracterized. Meghan was simply attempting to drop off her daughter’s dress at the request of Jim Edmonds and in coordination regarding their child’s needs … There is video footage of this incident, and Meghan wishes it would be shared publicly to clarify the truth.”
Winning hearts with his dazzling performances on the US
While mum, Terri, and sister, Bindi, have been helping Robert navigate it all behind the scenes, it seems his brother-in-law, Chandler Powell, may be getting slightly fed up with the frenzy.
Despite moving back to his native US with the rest of the Irwins to support Robert’s dancing journey, Chandler is said to have grown apart from his once inseparable best mate in recent months, as Robert, 21, spends more time away from Australia Zoo to focus on other lucrative projects.
“Chandler would have preferred to stay back in Australia to look after the zoo instead of upping everything to be Robert’s personal cheer squad,” dishes our source.
Chandler’s recent social media activity even has some questioning whether a feud is lurking in the background between Bindi’s husband and brother.
“For a family known for being overly affectionate and constantly commenting and liking each other’s posts, Robert has barely acknowledged any of Chandler’s in recent weeks,” a source tells New Idea.
“Maybe he’s busy with dance practice, but it’s definitely unusual for Robert, who is highly active online these days.”
Social media sleuths also noticed that Chandler didn’t share any pictures of Robert on Halloween, despite him dressing up as Prince Charming alongside Bindi and Chandler’s daughter, Grace, who was Cinderella.
He did share a post wishing Robert well ahead of DWTS on November 5, but “eyebrows have still been raised”, the source continues.
Meanwhile, with all the buzz about Robert’s ripped physique lately, Chandler, who turns 29 this week, has also started hitting the gym.
“All of a sudden, he is posting workout videos – something he has never done before – when the world is going wild over Robert’s six-pack,” the insider adds.
“Robert is the biggest [and hottest] thing in Hollywood right now. He could very well become an even bigger star than his dad was in the next few years, so it’s only natural that Chandler could be feeling jealous by all of the attention Robert is receiving at the moment.”
Adding further fuel to the flames, New Idea hears that Robert may relocate to America for good to chase his dreams, while Chandler hopes to take over Australia Zoo.
It’s a move Chandler seemed to confirm on October 13, when he shared an image of himself feeding crocs in the Crocoseum with Robert watching in the background.
“A picture speaks a thousand words, and this one speaks volumes,” our source says.
They add that Chandler’s desire to be the next Crocodile Hunter would be ruffling Robert’s feathers as “the thought of someone taking the crown wouldn’t sit well… even if it’s his brother-in-law”.
