Jim Edmonds hurled more insults at his estranged wife Meghan King Edmonds and praised his new girlfriend Kortnie O’Connor for pulling him out of a “hole” following his “loveless” marriage.
Edmonds, 49, dedicated an appreciation post to O’Connor on Instagram. “If it wasn’t for this girl, I don’t think I would be here right now,” he wrote. “Amazing that her taking a chance on a plus-one weekend to Mexico pulled me out of my hole and changed my life forever.”
The former professional MLB player added: “I was in such a dark place; one that I didn’t think could happen to me.”
“I was going through hell ending a loveless and abusive relationship. The lies and accusations that followed the breakup only put me deeper into a funk,” he said.
Over the past few months, both Jim Edmonds and Meghan King Edmonds, 35, have accused each other of being abusive.
