Kelly Dodd revealed why Meghan King lost custody of her three children to ex-husband Jim Edmonds in a TikTok video on Wednesday.

After it was reported that Jim, 55, had been given sole physical custody of 8-year-old daughter Aspen and 7-year-old twin sons Hart and Hayes, following a Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation, the 50-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star shed light on the situation after a phone call with Meghan, 41.

“I just got off the phone with her, and she said that she gave one of her other twins, Hayes, some Ritalin. I guess it made her a dangerous mother,” Kelly explained of a medication typically used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Although Kelly acknowledged that she and Meghan have had a “lot of differences and a lot of fights,” she didn’t doubt that she was a fit parent. 

“She stayed at my house. I took care of her when she got her boobs and her nose done, and I can tell you, she loves those babies. She loves those kids, and I know for a fact she is a good mother. She is an excellent mother, and I just pray that she gets her babies back,” Kelly told her online audience. 

“Everyone just pray for Meghan and her family,” she continued. “Those boys and that daughter need their mom. They need their mother, and it’s terrible. It’s terrible what is going on right now. All we can do is just pray for Meghan.”

Us Weekly confirmed the news of Meghan’s custody loss on November 19, revealing that the CPS investigation had been prompted by a school employee.

The outlet also noted that Meghan had been granted supervised visitation with the children and that the current custodial arrangement was temporary, pending a hearing in early December.
