Meghan King Edmonds Welcomes Her Twins! See the First Photo!

Meghan King Edmonds is officially twinning at life.

About six months after revealing to the world that she and her husband Jim were expecting, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum has welcomed a pair of healthy and precious babies into the world.

The ex-Bravo star herself confirmed the exciting news on social media.

“Announcing our perfect, beautiful, and healthy twin baby boys!” Edmonds wrote as a caption alongside a black-and-white photo of the newborns lying on a baby blanket with a footprint theme.

Keeping the names a secret for now, she added:

“They arrived at 10:48 p.m. and 11:32 p.m. on June 5 weighing 6 pounds, 15 ounces, (20 inches long) and 6 pounds (19.25 inches long.)”

Sharing the same image, Edmonds – who hit .284 with 393 HRs and four Gold Gloves in 17 Major League Baseball seasons – added:

“Everyone is doing well. My wife was a rockstar once again and delivered both babies with no medication. #onetoughlady.”

Prior to the release of this sweet snapshot, Jim teased the big news by sharing the photo below.

He wrote along with it:

“1 little foot each. They made it. Everyone is safe and healthy. Pictures will come soon.”

The semi-famous couple is also parents to 18-month-old daughter Aspen, whom they welcomed in November 2016, while the retired pro athlete also has four kids from a previous marriage.

Back in December, Jim and Meghan announced they were expanding their family via a family photo that included such signs as:

“Our family is growing by four feet and two heartbeats” and “Edmonds twin boys June 2018.”

Edmonds, meanwhile, ended her run on The Real Housewives back in January, not long after alerting the universe to her pregnancy.

There remains a few questions over whether she quit or whether she was fired, but this is what she wrote on her blog at the time:

“Today is a bittersweet day for me. After three seasons of the rollercoaster that is The Real Housewives of Orange County I’ve decided to hang up my OC Housewife hat.”

She went on to add:

“I arrived at this multi-faceted decision after much thought, and then I thought some more.

“As you might suspect filming this show takes a massive emotional toll: I’m literally filming my real life in real time and engaged in situations and circumstances which can be contentious.

“Then, when the show airs, we relive some of the most trying moments in our lives and then endure the public’s reaction; we never come out as winners to every viewer.”

Overall, Edmonds explained, “filming is grueling.”

Concluded Edmonds (who, yes, actually channeled Beyonce for a pregnancy shoot, as you can see above) in this emotional message:

“I must focus on my family and my pregnancy.  I will miss the rush of the first all-cast event of the season, the anticipation of receiving each week’s episode, the thrill of wrapping the reunion.

“I have made soul sisters in Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge and that can’t be lost.

“They have touched my heart and I would do anything for them and I know they feel the same way about me – what a gift to have found that on RHOC!

“But I guess it’s time for me to become an actual real housewife of sorts. Oh, the irony!”

Meghan King Edmonds Channels Pregnant Beyonce, Leaves Internet Aghast

According to the Internet, Meghan King Edmonds just made a royal mistake.

The former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, who announced her second pregnancy in late November, has posed for a new photo on Instagram.

It’s a way for her to act all excited about the pair of babies in her belly, but it’s not exactly being met with enthusiasm by …

… well, anyone who has looked at it.

And this is because Edmonds has the audacity in this snapshot to straight up copy the one and only Beyonce Knowles.

Not just in some vague or broad fashion, either.

But by deliberately and blatantly channeling the iconic singer and the legendary way in which she announced she was pregnant with twins back in February of 2017.

We’re guessing you remember that image, right?

Just in case you somehow forgot…

Shortly after the time of this photo’s publication, it became the most-Liked picture in the history of Instagram.

(Tragically, it has since been surpassed by Kylie Jenner’s first-ever baby photo. But that isn’t the point at the moment.)

So, what did Edmonds just dare to do?

Copy Beyonce exactly!

“If I can’t be Queen Bey I’ll settle for King Edmonds,” wrote the ex-reality star as a caption to the photograph below.

She also added the hashtags: #twinscomingsoon #imitationisflattery #thisIsNotMyMaternityShoot.

As you might expect, the Internet wasn’t exactly psyched about this recreation.

Yes, of course the former Bravo star can pose in any way she wants…but come on now,  Meghan!

Be your own person! Don’t just copy the most popular celebrity on the planet.

As you can see below, one person referred to this photo as “offensive,” but others rushed to the star’s defense.

Where do you stand on this very contentious issue?

In January, Edmonds resigned her position as a Real Houswife, writing on her official blog:

“Today is a bittersweet day for me.  After three seasons of the rollercoaster that is The Real Housewives of Orange County I’ve decided to hang up my OC Housewife hat…

“I must focus on my family and my pregnancy.   

“I will miss the rush of the first all-cast event of the season, the anticipation of receiving each week’s episode, the thrill of wrapping the reunion.”

Will you miss Edmonds on the series?

Sound off below, and then be taken back Beyonce’s memorable photo shoots right here and now:

Meghan King Edmonds: I"m Leaving The Real Housewives of Orange County!

So, remember how Meghan King Edmonds was initially on a list of women rumored to be fired from The Real Housewives of Orange County? But then we all learned that Meghan King Edmonds was pregnant again so it looked like she was safe?

It turns out that the speculation may have been for naught, because she’s announced that she’s quitting.

But one report claims that her lengthy farewell post is just a cover — that she ended up getting fired. Hmmm. …

Writing on her blog, Meghan King Edmonds announced that she’s leaving The Real Housewives of Orange County.

“Today is a bittersweet day for me.  After three seasons of the rollercoaster that is The Real Housewives of Orange County I’ve decided to hang up my OC Housewife hat.”

We like to imagine that such a hat would resemble a giant orange.

“I arrived at this multi-faceted decision after much thought, and then I thought some more.”

Sure.

“As you might suspect filming this show takes a massive emotional toll: I’m literally filming my real life in real time and engaged in situations and circumstances which can be contentious.”

Oh, of that we have no doubt. The filming hours alone must be brutal, not to mention juggling your other responsibilities. And then the episodes air.

“Then, when the show airs, we relive some of the most trying moments in our lives and then endure the public’s reaction; we never come out as winners to every viewer.”

“But what you might not suspect is the physical toll: filming is grueling!”

Especially, we imagine, if you’re a parent. Or pregnant.

“After my first season I knew what to expect for round two, but even still, filming during IVF and then the beginning of pregnancy during my second season was difficult. I was hormonal and tired all the time.”

IVF presents its own challenges, folks.

“But my third season takes the cake: I had a newborn and had to hire a full time live-in nanny (my cousin) so as to allow me the flexibility to meet my obligations of continuous days and long hours of filming, traveling, etc.”

Even with a nanny, parenting was still a full-time job.

“When I was home I was a full time hands-on mom (you didn’t get to see this) doing all the regular mom stuff including waking up at all hours to breast feed my baby – all while my husband worked his crazy baseball schedule around the US while I was learning how to be a first time mom.”

“Again, I was hormonal and EXHAUSTED.  My mind was often foggy as I filmed but I put on a great face and did it because I loved being a Housewife and was so grateful for my opportunity.”

It’s a big opportunity that comes with an even bigger paycheck.

“It was only after the season was filmed that I felt I was finally out of the newborn fog and I could look back on the past few months of season 12 with clarity.  I had no idea how exhausted I actually was until I wasn’t exhausted anymore!  Season 12 was a real challenge for me.”

It sure sounds like it.

She then talks about happy, behind-the-scenes filming memories, showing that she bares no ill will towards the production staff.

“And lastly but not least importantly, I wanted to spend more time with my husband during baseball season and more time with my two young step kids who live full-time in St Louis.”

Oh, those are some good priorities.

“So Jimmy and I have decided to dig our roots into the midwest as we begin to build our dream home for our rapidly expanding family.”

Well, voluntarily living in the midwest sure is a choice.

“I must focus on my family and my pregnancy.   I will miss the rush of the first all-cast event of the season, the anticipation of receiving each week’s episode, the thrill of wrapping the reunion.”

She says that she forged some powerful bonds during her time as a Real Housewife.

“I have made soul sisters in Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge and that can’t be lost.”

Well … Shannon Beador, at least, seems like a good friend.

“They have touched my heart and I would do anything for them and I know they feel the same way about me – what a gift to have found that on RHOC!”

She ends her post with a joke.

“But I guess it’s time for me to become an actual real housewife of sorts.  Oh, the irony!”

That’s all well and good, but there’s this other claim that Meghan King Edmonds is just putting on a good face after getting fired from RHOC.

In fact, RadarOnline reports that their source claims that what got Meghan fired was, at least in part, her attempt to leverage her pregnancy (with twins!) for more money.

“She did the same thing with her first pregnancy and it worked. But producers weren’t biting this time around. They felt that she didn’t bring anything to the table and everyone was sick of her manufactured fake drama!”

Their insider clearly doesn’t think much of her, because this is how they responded to her long, bittersweet announcement:

“The truth is that Meghan wouldn’t have written all that on her blog if she did in fact quit the show. She would have just quit!”

Wow.

“Instead, she is trying to pretend that she doesn’t care and putting the blame on others when she knows that it is her own fault.”

Whatever the truth is, we wish Meghan King Edmonds and her family the best!

Meghan King Edmonds Covers Latina Magazine, Hears It From Critics

Meghan King Edmonds stars on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

And we say this with no disrespect nor any judgment of any kind, really, but…

… it may very well be the whitest show on television.

Each week, this Bravo series just pits one spoiled rich white woman against each other, as one First World Problem after another is discussed and dissected in nauseating detail.

Doesn’t mean the program isn’t entertaining.

It’s just… very white.

This likely explains the outcry by some on the Internet in response to Edmonds being featured on the latest cover of Latina Magazine.

The reality star, who is pregnant with her second child, at least seems to recognize that she isn’t the typical main subject of this particular publication.

First, she shared the following image on Instagram:

Then, she included the following caption along with it.

“I’m so proud and honored to be on the cover of @latinamagazine1 and represent @glamarella_jewelry!” wrote the cable network personality, adding:

“I loved doing this shoot right after I found out I was pregnant! No, I’m not Latina but I was asked to be on the cover and talk about my life and #RHOC in the cover story so I guess I’m blessed to be an honorary Latina this month!

“(By the way, big shout out to my husband for my engagement ring that got a front and center shot!)”

Ah yes, an “honorary Latina.”

It’s safe to say this cover shoot and this phrase didn’t sit well with readers of the magazine.

“Dressed up the nice white lady to look like a Latina for Latina magazine because?” wrote one dissatisfied Internet user.

“This is the same as black facing only for Latinas now! What a fail.”

Not exactly, of course. It would maybe the same if Edmonds’ skin was darkened or she was wearing a sombrero or something.

But general point still taken.

Other critics laid into Latina for putting “white privilege” on display, while another person chimed in with:

“This is beyond disappointing and such a slap in the face to the ENTIRE community. Shame on you!”

This magazine does consistently feature prominent Latinas such as Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lopez, Paulina Rubio, Jessica Alba, Shakira, Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes, Christina Aguilera, Naya Rivera, America Ferrera and even Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The November 2015 issue featured girl group Fifth Harmony, whose three out of five members are Latinas, marking the first time two non-Latinas were featured on the cover of the magazine.

So this was a trend that started a couple years ago.

What do you think of this supposed scandal?

Do the haters have a point?

Or should everyone be okay with Latina diversifying its cover subjects a bit?

Vicki Gunvalson and Meghan King Edmonds: FEUDING Between Season!

In a shocking twist, Vicki Gunvalson recently mended fences with both Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador. But … that doesn’t mean that she’s just going to be nice to everyone.

Recently, Vicki made some less-than-flattering comments about her RHOC costar, Meghan King Edmonds, who is pregnant and also returning next season.

And Meghan King Edmonds isn’t taking that lying down.

Previously, Vicki Gunvalson told Us Weekly that Meghan King Edmonds simply doesn’t belong on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

“No desire, truly no desire to see her. She lives in St. Louis, I don’t even know what she was doing on our show anyway.”

Wow. That’s not subtle at all.

“She lives in St. Louis, she’s pregnant, she has her husband, they’re going to have six kids, she’s not friends with anybody.”

That’s so mean! Like, the St. Louis thing is one thing, and we don’t know why her husband is a factor, but saying that she has no friends is just unkind.

“I don’t know what the correlation with her is.”

That’s … some interesting word choice. Maybe she means that she doesn’t see Meghan King Edmonds’ appeal, or what makes her a fit for the show?

“She’s socially friends with people, but we don’t all hang out together.”

Just because not everyone hangs out doesn’t mean that Meghan doesn’t hang out with some costars.

“I think it’s time for her to turn the chapter to something else and maybe not be our show, we’ll see.”

That’s … not nice.

Vicki sure had a lot to say about Meghan King Edmonds, who responded by telling Us Weekly exactly why Vicki Gunvalson is wrong … and maybe a little pathetic.

“She’s so desperate.”

Sounds like Meghan King Edmonds isn’t holding back, either.

“She says she doesn’t care about me, yet she’s one of my top engagers on Instagram.”

Oh dang, she came with receipts! 

“I don’t even follow her.”

Vicious. We’re living for this.

“And she’s talking about me. It’s laughable.”

Also, showing that you can come back for somebody just as hard they came for you is a great way to show that you absolutely belong on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

“Additionally, I’m really close with Tamra [Judge] and Shannon [Beador], so goes to show how little she knows them.”

So, yes, Meghan has friends, Vicki.

In late November, rumor had it that Bravo was looking to fire three Real Housewives of Orange County stars.

It wasn’t surprising for anyone to see Peggy Sulahian’s name on that list of … what’s the opposite of hopefuls? Nopefuls?

Peggy is a huge bigot and got slammed by a number of other Housewives, past and present. This a woman who allegedly tried to ban her own gay brother from their father’s funeral.

But what really sealed her fate was that she wasn’t interesting. Her “dumb foreigner” act didn’t fool anyone, and she was transparently getting into fights with costars because cameras were rolling. The report that she was then fired was not a surprise.

When we heard that Lydia McLaughlin was fired, it wasn’t a huge shock — she played her part this season, but she didn’t grab anyone’s attention.

Meghan King Edmonds had been on the list of Housewives expected to get the axe, but she’s reportedly staying on the show next season.

Why?

Because Meghan King Edmonds is pregnant with her second child. Pregnancy drama will hook some folks.

The knowledge that Meghan almost didn’t make it back on the show was probably part of where Vicki was coming from with her dismissal of Meghan.

Of course, Meghan King Edmonds is widely regarded to be the prettiest of the Real Housewives of Orange County, which could potentially also be a factor.

Jealousy is real. And Meghan is only 33 — which means that she was barely in her 20s when the series, on which Vicki has been a member since day one, launched.

So there could be a lot of resentment there. But we don’t know for sure if that’s a factor in Vicki’s mind.

Either way, next season sure is going to be interesting, since these two are already exchanging heated words.

Meghan King Edmonds: I"m Pregnant!

Though rumors continue to swirl that she could be one of the stars of The Real Housewives of Orange County getting fired, Meghan King Edmonds continues to have plenty of fans who are happy tor updates on her life.

And, well, she has a pretty major life update:

She’s pregnant! And she’s expecting a …

Meghan King Edmonds posted a very lengthy announcement on her blog, writing:

“So we’ve made it to the announcement: Aspen is going to be a big sister!”

That’s exciting! Though we’d point out that this announcement came on Aspen’s first birthday (yesterday), so she won’t be much older than her younger sibling.

“It was so hard for us to keep it a secret from everyone especially since we shared our entire IVF journey with Aspen on RHOC from the very beginning.”

And there’s a lot of detail about her latest IVF journey in this post, as well.

“Tonight on the RHOC reunion you’ll see that I’m only one month pregnant, but that was filmed five weeks ago: we are now ten weeks pregnant (and I’m feeling every bit of it)!”

Awww, that’s wonderful news!

“Because you won’t see any of our current journey on RHOC, I’ll share our beautiful journey with you here!”

Maybe she just means because, you know, the show doesn’t quite film back-to-back, but some are reading that line as confirmation that Meghan King Edmonds won’t return to RHOC next year.

Her post continues:

“When Aspen was only a few months old, Jimmy and I knew we wanted to add another baby to the mix.”

Wow. Most parents of infants are too tired to tie their shoes properly, let alone make major life decisions.

“Yes, Aspen has half-siblings but we wanted her to be able to share in the joy of waking up to a sibling every day of her life.”

It’s good that she reassures readers that she’s not pretending that Aspen’s an only child. And then some:

“Plus her half-siblings are completely enamored by Aspen and they LOVED the idea of expanding our family even more.”

Little siblings are very exciting.

“I had reliable companionship this time around with Jimmy by my side, my trusty furry companion Girly Girl and of course, baby Aspen.”

She mentions them for a great reason.

“It may seem silly to mention Aspen and Girly Girl but this support system was everything to me during round 2 of IVF.”

There’s nothing silly about a support system!

In case anyone had forgotten, she recapped her previous struggles with IVF.

“Side note: If you remember from RHOC, during my first round of IVF I entered the worst depression of my life, probably due to the erratic hormones combined with loneliness.”

Guys, if you know anyone who’s had hormone treatments, you know that it can have devastating effects on mental and emotional health.

Remember when you were 14 and had all of these feelings and they all seemed so important? Well, imagine suddenly being plunged into that again as an adult, but magnified.

Meghan King Edmonds talked about how she was able to cope:

“I was able to wean off my depression meds halfway through my pregnancy with Aspen which directly corresponded with when I got Girly Girl, and I haven’t been on a lick of antidepressants since then.”

We hope that all of this weaning was done under a doctor’s supervision.

“Dogs are truly woman’s best friend and medicine for the soul… and apparently clinical depression!”

Not all depression can be cured with a pet, of course — but some specific issues can totally be addressed with a pet.

Now, she goes into great detail into the IVF process … which is great for anyone wondering what that’s like.

And then she talks about where she is now:

“Fast forward to today and I am pregnant! I’m not feeling the greatest but we know that it will all be worth it in the end.”

Surrogates are always an option to a couple of means. Just saying.

“Aspen will make a fabulous big sister at only a year-and-a-half old in June 2018!”

So we already know the (very approximate) due date! Though we could have puzzled it out with the knowledge that she’s 10 weeks pregnant.

“Oh, what about the biggest question: Boy or girl? Think blue this time around!”

Ah, yes, the ever-important arbitrary gendering of colors.

But still, Aspen’s going to love having a younger brother!

Meghan King Edmonds: FIRED From Real Housewives of Orange County?!

In most professions, constantly creating drama and assaulting your co-workers will get you fired.

If you’re the star of a Bravo reality series, however, not doing those things is almost certain to bring your career to a premature halt.

Take Meghan Edmonds, for example.

Even if you regularly watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online you might find yourself scratching your head and struggling to place that name.

The problem is not only that Edmonds only lasted two seasons on the series, it’s that even among confirmed Bravo-holics, the series isn’t exactly heavily-buzzed about.

It manages middling ratings, and boasts a lower production budget than the other series in the Housewives franchise, but it’s not surprising that execs are looking to make cuts before the RHOC returns for a twelfth season.

And it now looks as though Edmonds was first on the chopping block.

Us Weekly is now confirming that Edmonds will not be returning to the show.

Neither the network, nor the 32-year-old mother of one have commented on the situation, but it’s widely believed that the decision to part ways was not made by Edmonds.

While Meghan and her husband, former baseball player Jim Edmonds, don’t appear to have pressing money issues, their storylines and tabloid headlines of the past two years have mostly involved major financial hits.

Throughout season 11, fans watched as Meghan underwent costly in-vitro fertilization treatments, and last year Jim Edmonds was hit with a major lawsuit that continues to threaten the future of his business interests.

Considering Jim has four kids from two previous marriages, and the couples financial future remains uncertain, it seems unlikely that Meghan would willingly pass up an easy six-figure paycheck from Bravo.

Currently, Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Shannon Beador, and Kelly Dodd are all scheduled to return for another season.

Insiders have confirmed that Judge will return despite some her co-stars’ efforts to have her ousted.

Hey, at least there will be considerably less drama in Edmonds’ life these days.

Of course, she’s still married to that grumpy bastard that viewers loved to hate for two seasons.

Meghan King Edmonds: Pregnant with First Child! Find Out The Sex!

These Bravolebrities have impeccable timing.

Just hours before the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Meghan King Edmonds announced that she and former pro baseball player Jim Edmonds are expecting their first child together.

“I’m so over the moon, I couldn’t believe it the first time I peed on a stick and I saw that little line kind of get a little darker,” King Edwards told People Magazine.

“I’ve always dreamed of this, but it’s still such a miracle. I can’t even describe the feeling.”

Since Edmonds, 45, had a vasectomy (he has two children from his first marriage to Lee Ann Horton, who passed away from cancer last year), King Edmonds decided to under IVF to conceive.

We went through IVF and fortunately we got pregnant the first time,” Edmonds says, adding that her husband froze his sperm before getting snipped.

“It was just such a long process with the IVF, step by step by step with so much information.”

Vicki Gunvalson-Meghan King Edmonds Fight on The Real Housewives of Orange County

King Edmonds admitted that the most painful part of IVF was feeling her ovaries grow “to the size of grapefruits,” a result of drug stimulation injections.

“I was swollen and in pain and it hurt to even sit straight up. It was awful. And then the recovery from that was hard,” she told People.

Now that she’s finally pregnant, King Edmonds decided to find out the sex of the baby.  She and Edmonds are expecting a girl at the end of the year.

The best part about pregnancy so far is the growth of her ass, King Edmonds joked.

“I’m so excited. I finally have a bum! For the first time in my life I can twerk.”

The miracle of life brings with it true blessings, not least of all a big ole butt.

Last season, King Edmonds butted heads with co-star Vicki Gunvalson, to the point where Gunvalson claimed that her marriage to Edmonds wouldn’t last.  

“I’m just going to jump right in and say that I am STILL amazed with how much Vicki exaggerates her stories,” King Edmonds wrote on her blog last seas.

“So much that they become full blown lies! It’s so awkward to watch her get put on the spot and try to weasel her way out of her lies.”

A brand-new season of The Real Housewives of Orange County premieres tonight at 9pm ET on Bravo.

Brooks Ayers to Meghan King Edmonds: F--k Off, How About That?!

It was never a good idea to give Brooks Ayers a platform.

For some reason, Andy Cohen thought it best to air a special in which he let Ayers flip off anyone who questioned him for claiming he had cancer.

Brooks Tells All was a joke from the get-go, even before he admitted to producing fake medical records from cancer treatment center City of Hope.

The special featured a smug Ayers answering questions likes a sociopath, and responding like the dirtbag when Cohen asked what he would say if Meghan King Edmonds was there.

Ever the gentleman, Ayers suggested, “‘F*** Off.’  How about that?”

As for Tamra Judge, Ayers has lost faith in her for questioning his fake records from a Newport, CA imaging center.

“I’ve forgiven her for all the hurt that she’s caused but I haven’t forgotten, nor can I,” Brooks said.

On November 11th, Ayers confessed that he was never treated at City of Hope.  Needless to say, Judge said she wasn’t surprised.

“I’ve always said, ‘If he has cancer I hope he gets better and if he doesn’t…I still hope he gets better,"” Judge said in a statement. “From day one I called him out. I felt he was a con man.

“I could see it in his eyes and nothing he said was making sense.”

Ya burnt, Ayers.

Brooks Ayers Defends Cancer Diagnosis, Slams RHOC Drama (Again)

Brooks Ayers to Meghan King Edmonds: Retract Cancer-Faking Claims or Get SUED!

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Brooks Ayers is firing back at Meghan King Edmonds and her accusations regarding his cancer treatments.

Supposed cancer treatments, if you believe Meghan.

As allegations that Brooks Ayers could be faking cancer continue to grow, he is mounting a counteroffensive against his most vocal critic.

Ayers sent Edmonds a cease and desist letter warning her to stop talking about his illness or face the legal consequences of her actions.

Edmonds, as you know if you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online, has said Ayers’ claims of cancer are “suspicious.”

That’s one of her more nicely-worded takes on the issue. At one point, the cast member admitted, “I did not believe Brooks had cancer.”

Brooks’ attorney calls such statements “defamatory.”

In particular, Vicki Gunvalson’s ex called her remarks about him “faking” or lying about his diagnosis and records “false and defamatory.”

Such comments “have caused significant damage to Mr. Ayers’ reputation,” not to mention “extreme emotional distress,” his letter states.

Edmonds’ gossip has roiled Vicki all season (see below), but does that make her actions illegal? Ayers’ attorney says unequivocally yes.

Vicki Gunvalson-Meghan King Edmonds Fight on The Real Housewives of Orange County

Ayers’ attorney even claimed that Edmonds has acted “with actual malice and intent to harm” and “with reckless disregard for the truth.”

What’s more, since Bravo’s Housewives has “a tremendous public following,” and thus, her harsh comments have cut especially deep.

Now, the letter claims, Ayers “intends to file suit” against Edmonds “unless a mutual agreement can be reached to resolve this matter.”

Brooks, who has gone on record since this storyline began airing to say that yes, he does have cancer, wants Meghan to do the following:

1. An apology and promise to refrain from all future commentary;


2. Retract any and all statements that Ayers is “faking” cancer;


3. State that all claims that he forged medical record are false;


4. Publicly declare that she has “no personal knowledge” of Brooks’ health condition … oh, and this must be done “on national television.”

Ayers’ attorney said he expected a response by The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion filming on October 1, and he got one, alright.

Edmonds told People she wouldn’t back down in her crusade, saying Brooks “knows he’s a liar,” and he “doesn’t have the balls to sue.”

Game on.
