Meghan King, a former 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star, has accused her ex-husband Jim Edmonds of leaking her cell phone number to sex workers several years ago, allegedly with the intent to harass her.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing tensions and disputes between the former couple, who have been embroiled in a contentious custody battle over their three children. King's allegations of Edmonds leaking her number to harass her raise concerns about the lengths some ex-partners may go to in order to torment one another, even involving third parties.

The details

According to the police report, King claimed Edmonds had 'harassed her before' and 'was losing his mind' amid their custody dispute.
