Null-GPUOT September 1, 2015 Author Share September 1, 2015 It must be hard for her to find clothes that fit her broad shoulders, tiny hips and long arms. She actually looks healthier here (softer) than she did during filming. Maybe she realized she was over-training or engaging in unhealthy behaviors and changed things. If that's the case, good for her. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28255-meghan-king-edmonds-third-wifes-a-charm/page/8/#findComment-1467170
zoeysmom September 1, 2015 Share September 1, 2015 Meghan finally did something I liked with her reaction to Shannon's sex party appearance. Calling Shannon a whore was funny and almost a compliment in that environment. For someone who spends an extraordinary amount of time trying to get a reaction out of Shannon-Meghan is beginning to lose the war. I can't imagine ever engaging with someone who calls be "judgy eyes", it is always going for the cheap shot and stepping back and claiming she has been attacked and absolutely not apologizing. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28255-meghan-king-edmonds-third-wifes-a-charm/page/8/#findComment-1467183

zenme September 1, 2015 Share September 1, 2015 (edited) I can't believe someone (Meghan) has to be told to mind her own more than once. I know. If someone told me ONE time that I was overstepping my bounds and that I needed to mind my own business, then I would apologize. End of story, and move on, Meghan just has to keep trying to win her argument. Jim was right. Bottom line, Brooks' health is none of Meghan's business. I don't care if I know all there is to know about my friend's cancer, I'm not a doctor so I'm not going to tell others what their cancer treatment should look like. Everybody is different. My stepfather was constantly at the doctor, having his medications changed, etc. because different pills had different effects. Meghan is not being supportive. She's being a pain in the ass and adding to Vicki's stress. Note to Meghan: Next time someone reveals cancer, just give a hug and offer kind wishes. Just because you sold medical supplies, and your husband's 1st ex-wife had cancer doesn't make you an oncologist. I blame all of this on Tamra anyway. She's the one who even brought up Brooks to the psychic in the first place, that no good, pot-stirring bitch.

maggiemae September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 I can't stand Meghan (or Jim for that matter, what a non-dad). What gives Meghan the right to call herself a mother or even step-mother of an 17/18 year old after 4 or 5 months of marriage? And we never see the other children. Which is a very good thing. My parents divorced when I was in my 30's and my "stepmother" would always introduce me as "Bill's" daughter. It is not at all like she was caring for younger children when Jim had custody or even now. Again....they have been married at the time this was filmed for 4 or 5 months and the kids had 2 mothers....well, now one. All this mother/stepmother crap drives me nuts. And yes....I was one once and they were 4/5 and then 5/6 and my husband (at the time) had full custody. And his ex-wife and I had even become friends. But that is far different than Meghan pretending to being a "mother/stepmother" when LeAnne was living. And Jim seems not to be there for his 2 daughters from his first wife. Instead he seems to ignore both of them. No idea about the younger ones. So Haley could drop out of high school to drive Leanne to the doctor - which her husband or Meghan was not able to? And Meghan could re-do an assignment for Haley when she was kinda in school part-time?

That smug little smirk that she gave when she called Vicky an old lady seriously made me feel violent. I really don't understand why she's on the show. Her husband wants nothing to do with her, and while my husband has an insanely low bullshit tolerance, if someone was calling me evil or not nice or an asshole he would tear them a new one. Jim was being way too cool while his wife was getting a new one. I feel like what happened with the whole "BROOKS DOESN'T HAVE CANCER-gate" was that Megan told Jim about what the psychic said, he told her to lay off, and she didn't.

That's probably my favorite thing about her right now. A lot of the criticism of Meghan is about her too frequently expressed views on cancer and I thought it was odd too. I've changed my mind about that (a little) now that I know that cancer runs in her family. I've also noticed that they (Bravo production) seem to have either coached or done a better job of editing Jim's scenes in the past few episodes. He's earned a few brownie points in my book recently. ETA: I'm one of those people who believes that a lot of we see on these shows is based on the direction the Bravo production team has decided long before they start filming.

I've changed my mind about that (a little) now that I know that cancer runs in her family. I've also noticed that they (Bravo production) seem to have either coached or done a better job of editing Jim's scenes in the past few episodes. He's earned a few brownie points in my book recently. ETA: I'm one of those people who believes that a lot of we see on these shows is based on the direction the Bravo production team has decided long before they start filming. How the individual cast members react to it is probably the only "real" part of the show. Cancer and health care in general is a little like religion-people have differing views and concern can quickly turn into condemnation or nagging. The difference with Meghan and Jim has pointed it out, is she feels there is only her way and her lay person research. When Meghan decides she dislikes someone she targets them-first it was deciding Shannon was crazy, had to prove herself, had judgy eyes, was a shit stirrer. As soon as Shannon extended a courtesy-making a phone call on behalf of Leann, Meghan decided momentarily to forgive her and then misstate Shannon words to go after Vicki. To me, she has taken it too far calling doctors that may or may not treat Brooks and calling someone who claims to have dated him-she has met the man twice. Her family or Jim's ex-wife does not give her the right to publicly ridicule and attack the methods a cancer patient may choose, bawl out significant others of the patient, or go on a very public platform and repeatedly call him a fake because she feels as if random stories negate his assertion he has NHL.. Vicki and Brooks did not ask her for her help. Even after Shannon volunteered she had to face the realization not everyone wants your help or the advice of your experts. If Meghan feels so strongly about cancer perhaps she needs to return to college and get a degree that would facilitate her in prescribing treatment. I think Meghan will soon learn that ethical doctors don't belch out their opinions on a patient they are not treating.

zoeysmom September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 More on this Meghan and the only way-recently I was reading a story about Farrah Fawcett (RIP) and was made aware that Farrah declined a surgery for her anal cancer that had an excellent rate of success, The surgery would involve a colostomy and the use of a colostomy bag. She elected instead to undergo very experimental unsuccessful procedures in Germany. It made me wonder if perhaps LeAnn had turned down some aggressive form of treatment and that is why Meghan is so bossy about this subject.

To me, she has taken it too far ..........[snipped to save space] . I agree that people can get emotional on the topic of cancer.The difference in my view and yours is that you blame Meghan for interfering and I believe Meghan was assigned the role of shit-stirrer on the topic of Brooks' cancer by production after they forced Vicki to agree to it and she talked Brooks into going along with it. The real shit-stirrer in this scenario is Bravo and Meghan is just doing her "job."

zoeysmom September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 That makes Meghan look worse that she would take a job that required her to stir up Brooks' cancer. Who would take such a job-certainly not the wife of a retired wealthy baseball player. I think it is a given Tamra does it for money but not Meghan-or I hope not. So they just replayed the luncheon, throw out the Meghan bawling stuff but I don't think the others were listening when Vicki relayed that Brooks said the chemo was tough on Brooks. Vicki and Brooks then relayed they were wanting to up it to everyday to blast the cancer. These shows are famous for leaving big chunks of the facts out and it might very well be something as simple as Brooks did not like the risks associated with everyday chemo or that the physicians had said he wasn't healthy enough for it and he didn't want to share that with the world. It seems odd to go from a six week cycle to everyday. People do forego chemo and survive cancer and people undergo rigorous chemotherapy and die of a heart attack or from the effects of the rigorous chemotherapy. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28255-meghan-king-edmonds-third-wifes-a-charm/page/8/#findComment-1494259

freeradical September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 (edited) I doubt Meghan or any other HW knows the direction Bravo will decide to go in for the upcoming season when they sign their contracts. Part of what is great about Bravo reality shows is commenting on them and joining in putting together the puzzle of these shows. Which things are done intentionally by a cast member or when a few cast members get together to play off an agenda, scenes that are fake or contrived and scenes that are organic the "Bravo editing" etc. They each are basically who they are on the show. If you're nice you won't last long, if you turn up the bitch a bit you might stay unless you're Aviva and go overboard. The producers may encourage them to bring up something on camera that they were pissed about off camera or remind them of something someone said. They each have their own producers texting them things. However, you can't make them do or say anything they don't want to. These are things I learned from housewives books, podcasts etc. What I still love is speculating on what I don't know about! People hate Meghan mostly for the "supercool stepmom" hero bullshit, making LeAnn's cancer all about Meghan and generally being an unlikable asshole. She didn't fake those things. The emotional damage she did to Hayley is real. We won't find out later Meghan is actually a reasonable and nice person. I'm 100 percent sure about that!

zoeysmom September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 (edited) Well Meghan is known to roller blade...in between being a crusader for justice and the American way...looks like she's zeroed in on a con-artist. She looks like a giraffe, acts like a giraffe...must be a giraffe, lol! Nothing in particular to say just love this. How Meghan Snagged Jim http://www.allabouttrh.com/meghan-king-edmonds-investigates-brooks-ayers-past/ This is a little on the sad side. Comments have been made about Jim and defending Meghan. Throughout the season I think so much of what Meghan has done is to try and show Jim why they should have a child together. I just get the impression he is not being worn down in spite of her whining, genetic testing, babysitting his children. Almost as if -if you let me have a baby Jimmy, I will stop stalking Vicki and Brooks. Jim can't possibly sign off on Meghan's behavior. I know he thinks he could just lay all his ex-wife's cancer files open but deep down he would not succumb to Meghan's pressure.

Beden September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 Almost as if -if you let me have a baby Jimmy, I will stop stalking Vicki and Brooks. You may be right, who knows? I don't know these people and this is am at least semi scripted 'reality' show we're talking about. There's a reason why these people are referred to as a cast, as opposed to being referred to as just people on a show or whatever. Having said that, from what we've seen--and take with a large dose of salt--it could also be that this marriage seems to have passed it's half life and a child would guarantee Meghan an income for the next 18 years or more if college was part of a settlement. And yes, I tend to be a cynic. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28255-meghan-king-edmonds-third-wifes-a-charm/page/8/#findComment-1496417
