Meghan King took to Instagram on Tuesday to reflect on a challenging year. The former star of “Real Housewives of Orange County” shared a message that hinted at recent struggles, following the loss of custody of her three children—daughter Aspen, 9, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 7. This custody change came after her divorce from Jim Edmonds, whom she was married to from 2014 to 2019.

In her post, King shared a cryptic note that read, “It was a tough year, but at least I did not buy a Labubu.” Adding her own thoughts, she wrote in the caption, “Butttttt a bunch of ‘super-rare’ stuff happened. [Just saying].”

Her message alludes to the difficulties she faced throughout the year, though she chose to keep the details vague. Despite the hardships, King’s words suggest she is finding ways to cope and reflect on the unique experiences that have marked her journey.

“It was a tough year, but at least I did not buy a Labubu,” the message read.

She then added a caption of her own, which said, “Butttttt a bunch of ‘super-rare’ stuff happened. [Just saying].”

As RHOC fans may have heard, Meghan was stripped of custody after allegedly giving Ritalin to her son Hayes, despite the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) medication being unprescribed, and asking a school nurse to do the same.

Following an investigation by Child Protective Services (CPS), it was reported that the children would be moving from Missouri to Tennessee to live full-time with Jim and his wife, Kortnie O’Connor, whom he married in September 2022. Meanwhile, Meghan would get them for a “few weeks” each summer.

After the loss of custody, Meghan’s former co-star, Tamra Judge, 58, addressed the topic on her podcast, Two Ts in a Pod, confirming that Meghan was understandably devastated.

“I did text with her. She did not want to talk,” Tamra shared. “She is so devastated. Her family is devastated. To have your children taken away from you by a third party, I couldn’t even imagine.”

“I’ve always known her as a good mom and a good person, and she’s got an amazing family,” she added. “And I always look at the mom and dad [who] have been married forever. She’s close with her brothers and her sister, and her dad’s an attorney.”

Meghan was featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County in a full-time role from season 10 through season 12.
