The Real Housewives of Orange County: Kelly Dodd vs. Jim Edmonds

In 2017, Meghan King Edmonds texted Kelly, who is married, "I heard you had a boyfriend." Kelly then responded, "A friend told me your husband has a mistress." Meghan, who was pregnant at the time with her and husband Jim's first child together, wrote, "We are pregnant for God's sake, Kelly. My God."

In October, Kelly said on E!'s Daily Pop that before they tied the knot, Meghan had an affair with Jim when he was married to his second wife. A source told E! News in response, "For people to insinuate that Meghan had an affair with Jim is completely bogus. Jim's second wife, Allison, was not romantically involved with Jim whatsoever when Meghan and him met."
