Meghan Kinghas dropped two orders of protection against her ex-husband,Jim Edmonds.
“As I continue to heal I’ve become enlightened and more aware of what I’ve been through and how to handle it. Let’s just say I’ll remain protected and safe with a binding document not accessible to the public,” King exclusively tells PEOPLE.
Edmonds' rep Steve Honig also shared an exclusive statement to PEOPLE on his client’s behalf following the dismissal.
“Jim is looking forward to putting all this nonsense behind him as he begins his new life with Kortnie and continues to focus on the needs of his children,” the statement read, referring to Edmond’s fiancéeKortnie O’Connor. ““There was no threat, which is why Meghan did not need any orders of protection.”

The order indicated that King allegedly “had to endure frequent and consistent verbal abuse” from her former spouse. She claimed the verbal abuse occurred in person, over text message, through Edmonds' attorney and on the Family Wizard parenting app. This was all “contrary to the terms of the parenting plan regarding conduct towards the other party, especially in the presence of minor children,” per the documents.
