Hiding More Secrets! ‘RHOC’ Emily's Husband Accused Of Abuse, Drug Use In 2008 Divorce

Hiding More Secrets! ‘RHOC’ Emily's Husband Accused Of Abuse, Drug Use In 2008 Divorce

Hiding More Secrets! ‘RHOC’ Emily's Husband Accused Of Abuse, Drug Use In 2008 Divorce Shane Simpson’s sordid past exposed as marriage troubles rock reality TV couple.

Secret past exposed.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Emily Simpson’s husband has been facing public scrutiny as their marriage problems explode on the show.

Radar exclusively reported Shane Simpson failed the California Bar Exam he took in February 2019, and tried again in July. (He is currently awaiting his test results.)

Now, his deeper, darker past is coming back to haunt him.

In Orange County Superior Court documents exclusively obtained by Radar, Shane was accused of sexually, physically and emotionally abusing his first wife, Miriam, in their bitter 2008 divorce.

“He was physically abusive to me,” Miriam wrote in a declaration after filing divorce papers, which Radar first reported in July 2018, before the couple rose to fame on the Bravo show. “He was sexually abusive to me.”

In addition, Miriam claimed that Shane was “addicted to prescription medications” — and all the “stress” led her to such poor health she was “near death.”

“He used and took prescription medications of others to quell his habit,” Miriam alleged about Shane. “He made me feel trapped and hopeless as a result of excessive control and lack of liberties placed upon me…Because of all the aforementioned abuse, stress, and circumstances, I became physically ill after months of diagnostic tests, blood transfusions, and other medical procedures, not only was I diagnosed with blood disorders caused by stress, my body was what seems to be near death and I had no choice but to leave.”

The court records obtained by Radar did not say if Miriam called the police on Shane for any of her claims of abuse.

Emily’s husband denied all of the allegations, and claimed Miriam took their two children from Orange County to Utah without telling him.

“In November 2007, Mother [Miriam] went to Utah with our children for the Thanksgiving weekend and never returned to California,” Shane said in his declaration obtained by Radar.

“She filed for a dissolution of our marriage. At that time, Mother refused to allow me visitation with our children. For approximately one month after she moved to Utah, I did not know where our children were and was not allowed to visit with them.”

According to court documents, a judgement was filed in Orange County on August 14, 2008, and Shane was ordered to pay $3,000 per month for child support.

Shane and Emily tied the knot on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2009. They share three children, daughter, Annabelle, and twin boys, Luke and Keller.

A RHOC insider told Radar that the bad blood between Shane and Miriam is now over, and they now share 50/50 custody of their teen children.

“This was years ago, and this is all behind them,” the insider insisted. “They all get along great now.”
