Jaime King broke her silence after losing custody to her child's ex-husband, Kyle Newman.
King, 45, was only allowed for a supervised visit with her son – James, 11, Leo, 9, the latter being the godson of singer Taylor Swift.
“Heart of Dixie” was kicked out of the Los Angeles pad after accumulating a $42,580 backrent. US every week Report.
“The situation with my landlord was personally resolved,” King told the outlet. “It's a shame, but it's not surprising to see someone trying to exploit this moment.”
“I'm currently focusing on what's most important: my kids,” she added.
In addition to the supervised visit, King was ordered to finish six months of rehabilitation for drugs and alcohol.
King lived in Hollywood Hills Pad, which costs $10,145 since April 2023, but in January he stopped paying rent.
Her landlord said she was forced to lock King out of the rental property until she puts on hold, claiming the actress was “malicious” in the residence.
However, King's lawyers later deny the allegations, saying that King was working in acting to pay back the backrent.
Earlier this week, the judge determined that King, 45, and Newman, 49, would share legal custody for their two children, but the filmmaker has only physical custody.
The “White Chick” actress was given the right to visit, but she has to be directed and only sees the boy three times a week.
King's custody agreement changed dramatically after failing to complete a six-month drug and alcohol program consisting of both weekly testing, a 26-week parenting program, and personal and co-counselling with the child.
In October 2024, Newman applied for only custody of his children after he claimed that his ex-wife was “drunk” and “drunk” while looking at his son.
The kingdom was locked in a long legal battle over finances and custody after filing for divorce in 2020 after 13 years of marriage. They eventually settled their divorce in 2023.
