'RHOC' Newbie Emily Simpson's Husband Accused Of Drug Use, Abuse In Nasty Divorce

"He was physically abusive to me,” Miriam wrote in a declaration after filing divorce papers. "He was sexually abusive to me."

In addition, she claimed he he 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. "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.”

(Nowhere in the court files, however, did Miriam say she called the cops on Shane for any of her claims of abuse.)

Shane denied all the allegations, and claimed his wife of nine years uprooted their two young daughters from Orange County and suddenly moved them to Utah without giving him proper notice.

“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. "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.”
