Jim Edmonds is speaking out against the rumor that he cheated on wifeMeghan King Edmondswith their nanny as hereportedly files for divorce.
“It’s one thing to be accused of something. It’s another thing to be so negligent and so careless, and ruin the lives of innocent young people,” the former MLB player wrote. “I did not sleep with our nanny. She’s not just a nanny, she is someone that we brought into our house and promised to protect and look after while she was in our home. We have been treating and raising this young girl like she is our own child!”
Jim continued: “I will not sit here and take this bulls— without fighting back.Just because you’re extremely whitty and intelligent, and know how to play the Instagram game. Doesn’t give you the right to use that platform to wrongfully accuse.”
“Not only is it irresponsible. It is dangerous and puts my family in harms way,” Jim wrote. “We all make mistakes. This is not one of those times. My heart is broken for everyone involved. if you get anything out of this post. Get the truth.”

Edmonds did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment at the time.
Both Meghan and Jim appear to have unfollowed each other on social media. He has also deleted a tribute he shared in honor of Wilson’s birthday last year, in which he called her an “amazing young woman and a great addition to our family.”
Meghan and Jim’s recent posts come just days after they celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary, as she confirmed the pair weregoing to counselingwhile continuing to work on their relationship in the wake of the former MLB player’s sexting scandal earlier this year.
Meghan and Jim share 16-month-old twin sonsHart and Hayesand daughterAspen, who turns 3 in November.
Explaining why she decided to remain committed to her marriage instead of split, the mother of three said she believes “people screw up and people can change.”
“We built a life together and there are so many lives that would be affected. I’m hurt right now and our life is massively affected, but if we were to split just because of his indiscretion then there’s multiple other people who are affected, as well. So I owe it to not only myself and the commitment I made to my marriage to work on it, but I owe it to my children.”

Back in June, the former MLB player admitted that he “engaged in an inappropriate conversation” with another woman, but he denied having a physical affair.
Meghan also shared a lengthy statement on her blog, admitting that she found out about the allegations online. She said she called her husband, and he confirmed exchanging “lewd photos” with the woman for several months.
