Speaker 1: This is Intimate Knowledge with Megan King. It's a show
Speaker 1: about sex. Hello everybody, and welcome back to Intimate Knowledge.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Meghan King. You can find me on
Speaker 1: Instagram at Meghan King or check out my website Guyahanexperience
Speaker 1: dot com for some very exciting retreats coming up. Y'all.
Speaker 1: This is a special episode today. I'm excited to give
Speaker 1: you some real juicy life updates on my life. My
Speaker 1: producers wanted to call this sweatshirt Gate because I wore
Speaker 1: a profane sweatshirt. I will get into that in a second,
Speaker 1: but we're not calling at sweatshirtgate. We're calling it wheelchairgate.
Speaker 1: And it's a whole gate. Y'all. There is a lot
Speaker 1: that went into making this current drama dramatic and let's
Speaker 1: you know what, Let's get right into it because you're
Speaker 1: gonna want to be hanging on everywhere. The elephant in
Speaker 1: the room is wheelchairgate. Wheelchairgate. What is that? You ask? Well,
Speaker 1: wheelchairgate doesn't want to be wheelchairgate if you ask Jim
Speaker 1: and Courtney. That's Jim's wife. So what happened? Now? First
Speaker 1: of all, I go out of town to Charleston, right,
Speaker 1: I go to this high school wedding. It's more of
Speaker 1: like a reunion with all my high school friends. It's
Speaker 1: so much fun. And of course that's when Jim brings
Speaker 1: stuff to the press attention, you know. So the other
Speaker 1: day I was dropping my kids off at school, and
Speaker 1: I will actually know I was picking them up from school,
Speaker 1: and that matters because when I pick up they go
Speaker 1: to three different schools. Three kids, three schools. I pick
Speaker 1: up Aspen, she hops in the car. I pick up Pays,
Speaker 1: he hops in the car. Don't even get out of
Speaker 1: school for those. Then I picked apart and I forget
Speaker 1: I always have to walk up a hill to his
Speaker 1: room and walk back. And so I walk up and
Speaker 1: I'm like as I get there, I'm like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: my sweatshirt. Because I was in my house, was moving
Speaker 1: around it was chili, and just grabbed a sweatshirt that
Speaker 1: I found in my closet. The sweatshirt happened to be
Speaker 1: from Lulu Simon's studio. I've collaborated collaborated with them in
Speaker 1: the past, and they send me gifting. They really kind
Speaker 1: of edgy, sassy T shirts and sweatshirts, and I love
Speaker 1: the way that they fit and this particular one had
Speaker 1: a big yin yang symbol on the front and on
Speaker 1: the back it said fuck you, fuck this, fuck that,
Speaker 1: fuck you, something like that not appropriate for an elementary school,
Speaker 1: which I recognized right away. Hart asked me to hold
Speaker 1: his backpack. I immediately threw it over the back of
Speaker 1: my my sweatshirt. I shared it on my public Instagram
Speaker 1: that it was a funny thing. It was like eyeps,
Speaker 1: bad mommy moment, but like bad mom but at the
Speaker 1: same time, like honest mistake, totally honest mistake. Well, next thing,
Speaker 1: I know, it's all over the press, it's on us Weekly.
Speaker 1: And what did he say that he would think that
Speaker 1: you would think common sense would kick in at some point.
Speaker 1: That sounds exactly like Jim and I said, none of
Speaker 1: our kids can read. But I doubt Jim knows that
Speaker 1: Hayes and Aspen are starting to sound out words they
Speaker 1: can't read. And I don't know if they've ever even
Speaker 1: tried to read one of my t shirt. It's like
Speaker 1: if it had a duck on it, they'd love that.
Speaker 1: But they're looking at me. They're not looking at my back.
Speaker 1: They're looking at the big ying ying symbol on the front,
Speaker 1: and they didn't even ask what that was. And it's
Speaker 1: pretty cool looking too. I didn't go inside or the
Speaker 1: school or anything. I just walk up. My kid walks
Speaker 1: out to me, he hands me's backpack, and I walked
Speaker 1: to the car. At that point, before I walked in,
Speaker 1: it was actually you have to scan a bar code
Speaker 1: in order to get your kid out of school or
Speaker 1: into school. I was scanning the bar code and as
Speaker 1: I was standing there, there was a grown up walking
Speaker 1: up behind me, and I was like, Oh, I think
Speaker 1: I'm wearing like an on naughty sweatshirt. Shit, what am
Speaker 1: I gonna do? I'm like, oh god, oh God, oh God.
Speaker 1: So like try to scurry up so no one can
Speaker 1: see me and like trying to like push my shoulders
Speaker 1: back and stuff. And then Heart gives me a sweatshirt.
Speaker 1: So I was probably out in the wild with the
Speaker 1: sweatshirt on for probably a total fifteen whole entire seconds,
Speaker 1: and no one said anything to me or anything. I
Speaker 1: just recognized that, like I was wearing a lulas, I'm
Speaker 1: in a sweatshirt, and that's what happened. So Jim had
Speaker 1: to have found out on my public Instagram because he
Speaker 1: stalks every single one of my stories I do. I
Speaker 1: am not exaggerating. He knows every post I make, every
Speaker 1: thing I say, like he must have a Google alert
Speaker 1: for me. I don't even have a Google alert for me.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna make a Google alert for me.
Speaker 1: Maybe then I would realize some of this stuff is
Speaker 1: coming out before I get an email from US Weekly
Speaker 1: asking for a quote, so I Jim doesn't reach out
Speaker 1: to me, he doesn't say anything. He did tell me
Speaker 1: to fuck off yesterday on our court ordered and monitored
Speaker 1: app that the judge can read. He literally wrote off,
Speaker 1: I am not exaggerating. This is how this man treats me.
Speaker 1: Treats me like garbage. And I have the receipts to
Speaker 1: back it up, receipts for days, for days on days
Speaker 1: and days. So I yeah, like I he's mom shaming me.
Speaker 1: He's trying to paint me out to be a bad,
Speaker 1: neglectful mother. And it's like such a joke because I
Speaker 1: have the kids all the time. A lot of moms
Speaker 1: say that, a lot of parents say, I have the
Speaker 1: kids all the time. We do not have fifty to
Speaker 1: fifty custody. We have eighty twenty custody. That is legal.
Speaker 1: I legally have eighty percent custody. So this mom shaming
Speaker 1: with the sweatshirt thing is just a joke. Was it tacky? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Am I gonna wear it again? No, it's not worth this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw that thing in the trash. Can love you, Louis.
Speaker 1: I'm in the studio, but not safe for work. Sweatshirts
Speaker 1: are also not safe for Megan King when in the
Speaker 1: presence of Jim Edmonds trying to ruin me every chance
Speaker 1: he gets. And I am not exaggerating one bit. Have
Speaker 1: I spoken out since? Yes, you know what I did.
Speaker 1: I took that sweatshirt. I asked Lulu Simon to reissue
Speaker 1: it and I did a swipe up link on my
Speaker 1: Instagram That's what I did to the sweatshirt because it's
Speaker 1: not that deep. Look, I posted this video of me
Speaker 1: wearing the sweatshirt. It's not like I was trying to
Speaker 1: hide anything. This is not groundbreaking information of any level
Speaker 1: at all. And I posted it because it's relatable. You
Speaker 1: know why it's relatable. It might not be that exact
Speaker 1: sweatshirt that's relatable, but what's relatable is that moms make mistakes.
Speaker 1: People make mistakes. How many times have we walked into
Speaker 1: you know, a grocery store for instance, looking like we
Speaker 1: just rolled out of bed, and then of course we
Speaker 1: run into somebody, right Like, We're not always at our
Speaker 1: peak all the time, and that's why it's relatable. So
Speaker 1: when I put this out there, I just thought it was,
Speaker 1: you know, something that people would say, I've done that
Speaker 1: before too, And then it got blown up. It got
Speaker 1: blown into this bigger than you know, needs to be
Speaker 1: sort of scandal. Now that's in the tabloids and it's unnecessary.
Speaker 1: The reason that that happened, in my opinion, is due
Speaker 1: to wheelchair Gate. Now Jim has you know, issues of
Speaker 1: his own happening on the side, and I don't really
Speaker 1: need to get into that here, but if you want
Speaker 1: to know more about it, then subscribe to my instagram.
Speaker 1: Go on my instagram. May ninth, I'm going to have
Speaker 1: my subscription open again and this will all be explained. That's,
Speaker 1: you know, the behind the scenes information that we don't need,
Speaker 1: Mike public. That's the thing. Some things just don't need
Speaker 1: to be blown out of proportion or be made public. Look,
Speaker 1: I understand I'm a public figure. I put a lot
Speaker 1: out there publicly, but blowing up what I'm doing and
Speaker 1: trying to call you know, call out my character as
Speaker 1: a mother is damaging to my children because I'm they're
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the time pastodial parent. I'm the main
Speaker 1: ghustodial parent. I do everything for my children. If you're
Speaker 1: trying to say that I'm being a bad mother, like
Speaker 1: how that's hurting the kids, and it's just it's it's
Speaker 1: bad for everyone. It's bad for all women, all moms. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm the one who posted the video, I'm the one
Speaker 1: who took the video. I'm the one that owned the video.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to deny anything. And I think it's
Speaker 1: bad that this is being made a big deal, blown
Speaker 1: out of proportion by the father of my children. I mean,
Speaker 1: how long does this have to go on, making a
Speaker 1: big deal out of something that I've already owned and
Speaker 1: claimed as a mistake, literally and I tried to fix
Speaker 1: it the best I could in the moment, Like, it's
Speaker 1: just a waste of breath and air that we should
Speaker 1: be even talking about this right now, And it's not
Speaker 1: good for moms. Let's stop the mom shaming. We all
Speaker 1: make mistakes. Let's figure out just how we can all
Speaker 1: accept that we're all individuals, we all make mistakes, different
Speaker 1: mistakes for different people the end, and embrace each other
Speaker 1: as being mothers, especially single mothers who are juggling three
Speaker 1: school pickups. Because I have eighty percent custody and I'm
Speaker 1: the only parent and the only adult in my household,
Speaker 1: I do a lot of work. So yeah, if I
Speaker 1: make one mistake and I try to make light of it,
Speaker 1: then so be it. I don't think that's the end
Speaker 1: of the world. There you have it. Subscribe to Intimate
