Jaime King Divorce Drama: Kyle Claims His Wife Is A Drug Addict, While Actress Said He Is Abusive
It's never easy to go through a divorce, more so when it gets ugly. Such is the case of actress Jaime King and film director Kyle Newman.
It was just this week when news broke out that the Sin City actress had filed a temporary restraining order against her husband of almost 13 years. Any chance of having an amicable divorce just flew out the window now that the ex-couple is hurling accusations against each other. Page Six reports that Newman has enumerated many revelations about the actress. He said that King is a chronic drug addict who has been battling her addiction to opiates and alcohol for years. But he claimed that Jaime refuses to admit that the is an addict or even to seek treatment.
He said that the problem did not just happen recently, but even before she got pregnant. In fact, he claimed that their son Leo was born addicted to opiates. Furthermore, he revealed that the actress had tried to check into rehab only to leave right away. He also said that the actress admitted that she had an affair. In January of this year, he and their friends tried to stage an intervention, telling her that if she did not get help, he will take the kids and leave her.
He is now asking for primary custody of their two sons, who have been staying with him in Pennsylvania during the pandemic. Jaime, as reported by the Daily Mail, claimed that his revelations were just a way to manipulate the system. There were also claims from Jaime in the court documents that detailed the abuse she claims to have received from her husband. She alleged that he has isolated her from friends and even took money from their account without telling her.
The all-out war for the custody of their children seems like it will not ending any time soon. This is despite the fact that Jaime wished for a private resolution to their divorce proceedings.
Aside from Kyle's statement, apparently some other people have already submitted their own, including some nannies and even Jaime's former assistant. It specified how she had put their children at risk due to her addiction. There was even a time that she drove her kids while she was under the influence.
The hearing for the proceedings will take place on June 8. Until then, the kids will be staying with Kyle in Pennsylvania.
