Jon Gosselin defends himself; his new girlfriend will likely be on the show

intouch
The tabloids, legit entertainment sources and the mainstream media have gone into hyper-drive with Gosselin stories. To avoid an endless amount of Gosselin-related posts, I’m attempting to give you guys the lowdown from many different sources. First up is In Touch Weekly’s cover story – “Kate’s Private Hell”. Blah, nothing to see there. People Magazine actually got an interview with Kate, and the cover blares out “Kate: It Feels Like I Failed”. The interview excerpts are what you’d expect. Kate’s playing the victim, and this quote: “On a good day, I feel relief…On a bad day, I feel failure.” Also, photos of Kate were taken yesterday, and she’s still wearing her wedding ring. Moving on.

More news seems to be coming out Jon’s side of the divorce. Earlier today, we reported on Star’s story that Kate is already saying some stuff about the custody of their eight kids. She said “Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children.” US Weekly has Jon’s response to that. He basically just said some stuff to make it seem like he’s some sort of Father of the Year:

Jon Gosselin is speaking about ex Kate’s recent statement about their divorce.

After filing papers Monday, Kate told The Associated Press: “Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children.” She added that “it was appropriate and necessary” for her to initiate this proceeding but refused to discuss why.

In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, Jon says: “Yesterday, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my No. 1 priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe.”

“My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that. This will be a difficult transition for all of us, but Kate and I will work out a schedule that enables our kids to have plenty of quality time with both of us at home in Pennsylvania. I am deeply saddened that we are divorcing, and also hurt by the statement Kate made last night about the divorce. I have always done everything I can to protect our family.”

“The one thing I do agree with in Kate’s statement is her desire to resolve things amicably. Of course emotions are running high for both of us right now, but for the sake of our children and our family’s privacy, I hope that we can both limit our public comments about the legal proceedings going forward.”

Before ending his statement, Jon said his Father’s Day last weekend was one of his best ones yet because, “I was home with the kids for four days, just being a dad. No nannies, just the kids and me. In fact, with the exception of Aaden’s visit to the doctor, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to spend Fathers Day weekend.”

[From US Weekly]

Oh, yes. Jon is definitely Father of Millennium. Quick question – who is looking after the kids while Jon and Kate are issuing all of these statements and giving all of these interviews? Oh, right. I swear, if Jon and Kate wouldn’t end up killing each other, wouldn’t you think they were perfect for each other?

The New York Daily News has an interesting story about the the only child Jon and Kate really care about – the television show. NYDN has a “carefully placed source” who claims that one of Jon’s 23-year-old girlfriends (Deanna Hummel) will be joining the show when Jon and Kate Plus Eight begins filming again in August. The source tells NYDN: “Deanna’s role isn’t expected to be big, but because she’s part of Jon’s life, she’ll be filmed.” Also, the show will most likely begin to focus on how Jon and Kate are raising the kids separately.

    oh come on. im so sick of these people. how can TLC possibly think that its even ethical to keep the show filming. as someone said yesterday, these money grubbers are so f’ed in the head that they are willing to film their children’s grief and trying to cope with the divorce? i cant imagine anything worse. I feel so bad for the older girls who know what is going on and the fact that they have to have cameras in their faces while they deal with the fallout. its disgusting that they put on a farce for 2 years, duping the public and pimping their spawn to collect cash, and they still ARENT DONE.

  2. TaylorB says:

    I know everyone hates Kate, but to be fair Jon looks and sounds like he has been bending his elbow a bit too much lately, slurred words, puffy red face, and if I was Kate I wouldn’t want that near my children either.

  3. Anastasia says:

    I bet they will NOT continue filming in August. I think this is the end of this show, thank God. Now these two grifters will have to figure out something else to do to support eight kids and now this new expensive life they’ve moved up to.

    Shouldn’t have ignored the doctor’s orders to skip that overstimulated cycle, you idiots. If you have to whore out your kids to the public to support them, you have too many kids.

  4. Linda says:

    I would rather have Jon around those kids and taking care of them then Kate. She has absolutely ZERO tolerance and no patience. It’s all about her – prime example was mother’s day – which happened to be the kid’s birthday – those precious children that she would do anything for. Did we celebrate the kids birthday that day – nope – went to a spa and celebrated a week later. Kate’s #1 priority is Kate – Jon is the much better parent and as witnessed by the 2 statements released from both parties – the least combative.

    BTW – the tears Kate is crying – I’m sure it is all about cancellations that are taking place and no new bookings – Kate’s wings have gotten clipped and she is not happy about that at all.

  5. Nebraska says:

    It would be good for Jon$Kate to talk with the Dionne Quintuplet ladies who are still living. But it looks like they don’t care about the kids, only about the cash. Filming this divorce is a cruel thing to do to the kids; surely there must be some kind of law against what the network and J$K are doing; this is psychological abuse.

  6. Maritza says:

    Kate abused her power over Jon, he just got fed up and knows she should have been less controlling. She also knows Jon is a good father and I bet she would like her marriage to work, but it takes two, they should have gone to marriage counseling. But now that he has a 23 yr old Kate has no chance, I kind of feel sorry for her.

  7. kim says:

    Cancel the Duggars and all the other reality shows with kids like Run’s House,Kimorra Simmons show , Family of 10 etc

  8. Mommy says:

    Oh come on!!! My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids…how about you actually GET a job and support your kids or maybe even just support yourself! AND…why is it one of the kids ALWAYS ends up in the ER when he’s with them without any nannies or Kate to be the adult? WHY CAN’T HE BE AN ADULT? AND…if he’s worried about protecting his family, maybe he should NOT agree to let the filming continue? It takes both parents to sign, I’m sure…but wait. He’d have to get a job instead of living off his kids. My bad, I take it back.

  9. MSat says:

    I find it interesting that the bimbo Jon is boinking will be joining the show. Does this deluded little twit think that anyone actually wants to see her? More proof that Jon, who keeps saying he hates the fame, is a liar. If it weren’t for the fame, this broad wouldn’t have given him the time of day.And now she’s making a career out of it. Vomit!

  10. OXA says:

    After filing papers Monday, Kate told The Associated Press: “Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children.” She added that “it was appropriate and necessary” for her to initiate this proceeding but refused to discuss why.

    Her lies are catching up with her, she filed because she had already done the interview with People and knew she would be on the cover.

  11. Diana says:

    If it looks like a duck. I don’t believe the proclamation of high ratings, or the protestations of, “I’m doing this for my family.” This is nothing more than exploitation.

    Where are Gloria Allred and Paul Peterson?

  12. Lem says:

    @ kim
    I think Rev. Run and Justine are great role models. I think the poise and respect the older children have for life and “things” should be commended.
    Considering the fame and excess they have and are surrounded by.. jeez they could be Hilton’s or Lohan’s.
    The children have all been taught a strong work ethic, manners, respect and are being taught the value and consequences of the high profile name.
    Maybe Russell should take the girls from Kimora and leave them w/ Rev. Run till they are grown.
    I find it so interesting. One family. Same basic set of circumstances. Two very different outcomes predicted for the next generation…

  13. Lem says:

    i caught the mod squad

  14. mollination says:

    God I want to have sex with Bradley Cooper! Good for JA!!

    Sorry- unrelated. haha.

  15. Linda says:

    Hey Mommy – If you watched the show – you would know that Kate made Jon quit his job so he could stay at home and help with the kids and allow Kate the opportunity to continue to exploit the kids by writing another book and then so she could go out and do appearances and a book tour that keeps her away from the kids for lengthy periods.

  16. Mommy says:

    Hey Linda, Thanks, but I have watched the show, and it was Jon’s decision to stay home and spend more time with the family. However, when he actually had to be a parent and be responsible, he went and had an affair as soon as Kate went to work. But for some reason that I don’t get, why she’s a bad parent for working outside the home, and he’s a good parent for living off his children?

  17. the original kate says:

    i love how people say kate “made” jon quit his job, etc. he is a grown man with culpability in the situation. in any case they need to stop filming.

  18. wow says:

    C’mon guys – we all love celeb gossip but we’re also smart enough to know that there is no way Jon’s girlfriend is going to be joining the show. That’s not going to happen and its more than likely some made up story for the mag to sell. Again just another “source” or “friend close to” who doesn’t get named.

    Don’t believe it.

    Also, I recall Kate saying that “we” came to a decision that it would be best for Jon to quit his job. Meaning it was a joint decision. All irrelevant now I guess since his last boss has gone on record as saying that Jon was fired.

  19. judy says:

    Whoa..they have been seperated for 2years ,so this is NO surprise to the kids.They have not been lving together . I think Kate and Jon are probably sick of living a lie and it may be easier on these kids now that they are not hiding the “family secret”.

  20. ! says:

    Deanna joining the show? I agree-don’t count on it.

    I don’t know what this girl thinks she’s getting into. He has eight kids, sweetie, where do you think this relationship is going? Raising 8 kids ain’t like teaching a group of third graders!

  21. Zoe says:

    If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s people that refuse to be honest with themselves and don’t own up to what they’ve done and take appropriate responsibility.

    I remember Kate constantly defending herself and her actions and talking about how she isn’t going to apologize or change who she is. Which obviously suggests she knows she has a major attitude problem, and I can’t believe someone would insist people should just accept it and that she isn’t going to do anything differently despite what it has cost her loved ones.

    Jon recently talked about how he was too passive and is finally defending himself and is proud of that. What, by cheating on Kate and not standing up to her once and taking the low road running off with another woman and then never facing her directly? The whole time she insulted him, he would just sit there with his tail tucked between his legs. What was he doing, looking for audience sympathy? He should have stood up for himself then. How can he be proud of how he’s handled any of this? Be a man and face your wife and have a discussion and don’t let yourself get treated like garbage. No one deserves to be cheated on, period. Grow a pair and stop being passive-aggressive.

    This marriage would have never worked, Kate didn’t respect Jon and he didn’t respect himself. Do people not ever think about their children and the example they are setting? Obviously not in this family. So disgusting.

    As for the show, TLC isn’t stupid. Not only did they order 40 episodes as they have no morality and neither does any other TV channel for that matter (money and ratings are everything) but they know the public perception of those two is awful and that the market is being oversaturated with them so they want them to lay low for awhile to make it all look like they are good guys doing the right thing and when this has blown over a bit, they want to get people to watch again as ratings are sagging because no one likes these two. What’s going to happen is that in a few months no one will care at all, rightfully so, and then they won’t make money or have the viewership to continue the show and it will be canceled as it should have been since day one. Shame on anyone watching this trash and contributing to the suffering of those kids.

  22. Joe says:

    Jon, Kate and the public in general are misconstruing the couple’s exposure as fame, when in fact it is infamy.

  23. irl says:

    I’ve never watched one second of their teevee show but for the last few weeks they have been shoved in my face and ears every where I go, the radio, the regular news – just every where.
    Now I know their whole life story weather I wanted to or not.
    Results? Now I have an opinion. . . .they are totally despicable people to go and have all those kids then not stick together to raise them. They should get counseling and work it out at least until the kids turn 18.
    I could careless about Jon or Kate or their self indulgent feelings at this point. Don’t care who said or did what or who cheated.
    Bottom line is they choose to have a butt load of kids so they should make the commitment to their choice and stick together to raise them – whatever that takes. They can divorce when the kids turn 18.
    Sure. .. lots of people say it’s so much worse for the parents to stay together and bring up kids in a bad relationship but that’s BS – as long as there is no physical or mental abuse. Most of the people who say that are justifying their own divorce. You don’t hear that from the kids of divorce. Kids of divorce have lots of emotional and behavior problems. Kids who have parents – even parents who argue constantly – til they go off to college cope and do a lot better in general. They also learn you don’t throw in the towel and get a divorce. That all relationships take compromise, work, effort and sometimes conflict resolution. Jon & Kate can fake getting along for their kids just like they fake it for teevee.
    They totally suck and I can’t believe anyone would even watch their show. Watching their show only contributes to their out of control egos. Not to mention the continuation of these types of worthless, time and life wasting programs.

  24. bros says:

    zoe, i hardly think it counts as cheating if they have been separated for 2 years. now that I know that is the case, I no longer feel jon is a shmuck for getting photographed at bars or with this deanna chick. they were done already and it was TLC and the parents keeping up the farce. when kate said “i think jon is mad he got caught” she was really talking about herself, because his getting outed ended their charade. I tend to think jon didnt give a rat’s ass about pretending anymore and let his guard down and didnt try very hard to keep it on the DL. and now I dont blame him, although I do blame both of them for keeping up the farce for so long.

    kate’s pissed because he ‘ruined it’ for them. nothing else.

  25. lisa says:

    I feel bad for the kids that this is happening. 10 years from now they are going to look up stuff about their parents and be shocked at what mommy and daddy have justified and been accused of. These kids are going to have loads of questions in the future and that is what Jon and Kate will need to prepare for, not another season of the show.

  26. Jean Walter says:

    Who could possibly blame this man for living her? How could ANY man love a woman that degrates and berates him in public. She is getting what she deserves. I said it years ago, I knew he would not be able to stay married to her. She is a controlling, Mean, bitch. If I ever snapped my fingers at my husband and screamed at him like he was a dog, I would expect him to find someone else. I feel bad for the children. They are like hostages, stuck in the hell that their parents created for them. Very sad.

  27. aleach says:

    I bet she the girlfriend will join the show. I rememeber a Blind Item that said a reality couple that were going through martial issues would introduce a new character to the show to keep things interseting…hmmm that sounds pretty close!

  28. Jean Walter says:

    BTW- The hairdo is absolutely RIDICULOUS !!!! Ladies !! Stop asking the hairdresser for this hairdo. It looks ASSININE !!! Why in the hell would anyone want to look like one of the most hated women in America ?? Why ???

  29. Linda says:

    bros – I agree with you in so many ways – Kate checked out of this marriage first – at the end of last season – Jon was MISERABLE and Kate didn’t care. She said as much – she was happy and she was going to continue in the direction that made HER happy.

    Kate got all caught up in her own hype – the speaking engagements, traveling first class, the attention everyone paid to you, book signings, going on talk shows – you name it – Kate loved every minute of it and she was not about to let anyone take it away from her. The only reason she is now upset – because she realizes that no one really likes her. She never thought for one moment that things would turn against her and she is now trying her best to elicite some type of sympathy so that “the show can go on”.

    I heard that this woman was on TV today describing how the children reacted when they broke the news to them – WHAT mother in the world would do that? There are a lot of celebrities who will pimp out their kids for photo ops – but they are still decent enough parents to guard their children’s private thoughts, emotions, and reactions. This woman is horrible and will stop at nothing when it comes to exploting those children.

  30. Tia C says:

    The headline “Now her controlling ways have left her with heartbroken kids and a husband who no longer loves her.”

    AND a FUGLY-A$$ haircut!!! How could they forget to throw that in there?!! GAWD, I wish the stupid selfish biyatch would shave that sh*t off and just start over. I agree with posters who say the kids would be better off with their father. They probably would. She is CRAZY narcissistic – the type who NEVER even should have had kids. Sad, they are so cute, they deserve better.

  31. SW says:

    Lem, I have to agree with you. I love how the Rev. Run and wife are raising their family. All of the kids have good ethics in every way. I LOVE watching that show…also like the fact that him and his wife love and support each other, all of the children and don’t use curse words like most of the ‘reality’ shows on TV. They are a family unit and very united.
    For the record…I’ve never watched Jon and Kate. I had heard and read too much about the way they (specially K) treat each other and their brood. Wouldn’t be healthy for me to try to sucker-punch Kate through the TV….

  32. CeeJay says:

    This whole brew ha, ha has been produced for publicity and to enhance the story line of their show. The public is falling for it hook, line and sinker.

    John and Kate have been separated for more than a year and both knew what was coming. The decision to purchase the larger house was made quite some time ago in order to provide both of them with separate living quarters, but to still be in close proximity to the children (or should I say taping production?).

    TLC and the producers of the show decided to capitalize on the situation (through publicity) rather than try to continue hiding the separation.

    What everyone should be angry about here is not that this family is going through a divorce and the parents are acting like idiots, (Divorce happens everyday, every hour, every minute in this country. Currently more than 55% of marriages in the U.S. are eventually dissolved.) but that TLC has determined, in all their wisdom, that this should be a “learning” experience for their viewers. TLC is doing this at the expense of the kids, and yes, believe it or not, at the expense of John and Kate and their well-being.

    If your marriage was falling apart and you had no visible means of support other than taping an ongoing TV show, what would you do if a network threw millions of dollars in your face and promised you’d be taken care of financially? I’m a pretty self-righteous person but my guess is that I’d take the money and security over the privacy and peace, especially if my family had already lost their privacy and/or peace. It’s easier to heal with $$ than it is without.

    So my dismay here is not with the parents or their decision to tape this show, it is with TLC and how far they have strayed from the original concept of their network purpose. They’ve stepped into the gutter and I have to tell you, the sewage flows closely underneath.

  33. Ggirl says:

    Not that I will EVER watch that show again, but if Jon’s girlfriend joins the show, Kate’s a** will be roasting hot. She didn’t even want Jodie and what’s his face to be paid and they were relatives helping out! (allegedly of course) Jon needs someone to help him with parenting because J & K sure don’t have a clue!

  34. tasteT says:

    Honestly, I think both are horrible parents..TLC should be ashamed of themselves for NOT pulling this BULL off of television..

    no one wants to see them or those damn kids!!

    its over and they ALL need extensive couseling! end of story. I’d like to forget this family ever existed.

    They do not need to be on TV..

  35. Tazina says:

    No, this is not a true story, denied by TLC

  36. MSat says:

    I do agree that TLC bears some responsibility here. Jon’s new bimbo went with him to Utah, where the TLC crews taped him skiing. She was there, and they knew it. Did they just look the other way while these two whored it up, as multiple eyewitnesses reported? Did the show’s producers see this coming, way back in March when this trip happened, and think to themselves, “This is ratings paradise!” I wouldn’t be surprised if TLC themselves leaked the story to the tabloids.

    The whole thing is gross. Turn off the cameras. I haven’t watched this season at all and I will not.

  37. tinlizzy says:

    Wish a lawyer would explain how the “income” can be bargained for in the divorce – since it’s money supposedly coming off the supposition that the show is ABOUT THE KIDS! Oh, okay – it says “Jon and Kate, Plus 8” – but, I think the parents are abusing the access to the moo-lah and don’t think it should be up to Kate to control – or, Jon. Let’s get an accounting firm involved – make J & K go for their weekly allowance. ha ha. Kate – give up the 65,000 SUV, Jon – give back your custom built cycle and sports car. Come back to reality you two –

  38. MSat says:

    tinlizzy, don’t forget the tummy tuck, hair plugs, personal trainers and of course that million-dollar home. All courtesy of Kate’s bossy uterus and those children.

  39. Linda says:

    MSat – don’t forget Kate’s boob job, the tanning sessions, weekly manicures, pedicures and the “occassional” trip to the spa.

    They also have at least 2 nannies, a housekeeper, and a cook!

  40. notso says:

    I <3 Run’s House.

  41. huh says:

    The earnings should be divided ten ways. Jon and Kate each get a tenth and the kids all get their tenth at some point in the future…perhaps 25th bday or something.

  42. anonymei says:

    I am personally boycotting TLC for exploiting the kids and will send them an email when I have time.

  43. GeekLuva80 says:

    Really?! All you people saying that Jon cheated & that his new s.o. is a bimbo or whatever else seem to forget that J&K were already SEPARATED.
    They BOTH agreed that their relationship was over. They admitted this to the general public on national t.v. & that they have been separated for 2 years!
    Jon may be passive but he is not a cheater.
    Kate, however is still, as much as ever, a total b*tch.

  44. lalala says:

    dude, you guys all need to eff off….. i dont understand how you could say Kate has no patience! This women has 8 kids, and she never hits them, if things get hard she dosent leave the house or threaten the kids….. and she barely even screams. Yes, we all know shes controlling but I would also be that way with 8 kids, obviously all she wants is the best for them and shes trying very hard so give her a break. Jon dosent even care, you can tell, he looks like hes about to just fall asleep during the tapes. Also, hes actually excited about this divorce while Kate is going through a freakin mental breakdown! Shes the one that TRUELY cares for her kids, not Jon. And for all of those that are saying “how could TLC not stop the show” and what not, being all haters. If you dont like it, just dont watch it… simple as that.

    *one more thing* i really really don’t understand how TLC and this show is “exploiting” the kids. They are always happy during the show, and every1 knows it. They never complain about any of it. And kates brother isn’t defending jon and kate because theyre not on the show anymore and they wanted to get paid. They started all this “exploiting” crap and know the whole freakin world agrees with them. They just want to stop the show because of all the $$$$$$$$ that they are making. I mean c’mon hes her sister, how could he say and do all these cruel things and especially PUBLICLY! the whole world now agrees with them, without listening to Jon & Kates point of view on “exploiting the children”

  45. bros says:

    lalala: she has hit her kids, and it was on the front cover of a tabloid. you also dont know what she does when cameras are off, so pretending that what you see on TV accounts for the whole realm of interactions with her kids is nonsense.
    2: show me a 5 year old kid who is aware of the future damage of something as nuanced and unestablished as being filmed for a reality tv show, and i’ll show you a leprechaun at the end of the rainbow with a pot of gold. come on! are you honestly saying the 5 year old and 8 year old CHILDREN know they are fine and since they appear happy on TV and dont lodge complaints in a coherent way, then this means there will be no lasting effects? what asinine comments.

  46. Linda says:

    lalala – did you watch the episode when she put her son in the laundry room on a cold floor to sleep because he threw up and she didn’t want him to dirty any more blankets or sheets. Her son threw up and she put him on the floor of the laundry room.

  47. Yae says:

    Noone really should have all those children anyway. Nothing about it is natural or healthy.
    Kate is a coach, drill sargeant from dusk til dawn. The sexual urges are turned off naturally for raising offspring (medical fact but not always the rule). Jon is treated as a child because there is no “off” button on a mom with that many kids.
    Jon has money in his pocket now. He won’t have the kids full-time (FREEDOM) and he can play video games and hump the new chick and just see his kids for holidays and every other weekend. Kate is stuck being a mom 24/7. Jon is a freebird with a fat wallet.
    Lesson…don’t have so many kids. Advice: Make Jon take the kids exactly 50% of the time.
    Kate…..Get laid. It will cheer you up and maybe you can keep your hands off the kids, relax and learn a kind word.

  48. suemad says:

    ok, just because a couple is legally married but “separated” does not mean one person should run off and have a gir/boylfriend. Its STILL wrong and he should have divorced her prior to getting into a relationship. Clearly, Deanna is just using him for fun. I honestly don’t believe she will be on the show, it will be difficult to continue watching if that happens. I agree with a lot of the posts from earlier – Kate made alot of mistakes in their marriage, she belittled Jon and treated him bad, but he never stood up for himself. It took him getting influenced by either new friends or his new girlfriend to realize the extent of their marital problems, which is pathetic. How can you be in a relationship for so long with several issues and not even try to do anything about it? He more/less created a monster. They are both at fault for being in the position with all their dirty laundry in public. I feel so bad for them as I’ve been in the same position relationship-wise. I just feel like Jon has gotten caught up in his fame and fortune and he is not concerned about being a parent YET that is the cause for his fortune. They should totally kick him off the show.

    I really hope they do not bring Deanna on the show – these children just found out their parents are getting a divorce and now some woman is entering their lives??! The show is for them – not their parent’s dirty laundry.

    In response to a few of the comments posting concern’s Kate parents, the tabloids have clearly sided with Jon from the beginning, painting Kate as a “mean, bad” parent. Tabloids always show either the really good or really bad side of a person, mainly the latter. I am siding with Kate because, while she appears difficult and high maintenance, she is always with the kids and didn’t go cheat on her husband to “fix her problems” and isn’t ranting about how she’s young and has other things she can be doing. She hasn’t given up on her marriage and isn’t going to give up on the show. The show should focus on her and the kids. Not the dissolution of their marriage, because that is tragic and does not need to be on camera for the kids to see at a later time. Hopefully the Gosselin family takes a long-needed break and pulls the plug completely.

  49. BlueSkies says:

    It dawned on me the other day why people are obsessed with Kate- it is because she never looks at her children or husband with ADORING eyes. She’s playing a role but can’t love in that way. Ya know, in a Ma Ingalls way.

  50. jonisascumbag says:

    This is most likely the end of the show. I would be shocked if they kept filming in August. I would also be schocked and appalled if they included Jon’s homewrecking girlfriend. That is just low and disgusting. I never liked Kate; she comes off as a domineering bitch. However, Jon has proved to be nothing more than a scumbag.

  51. jonisascumbag says:

    “prime example was mother’s day – which happened to be the kid’s birthday – those precious children that she would do anything for. Did we celebrate the kids birthday that day – nope – went to a spa and celebrated a week later.”

    WOW. that’s unbelievable! They are both terrible. Those poor children.

    I’m sorry but i have nothing to say shes been on Cele bitchy more than 4 times already. So all i have to say is shes the most pathetic person Ive ever seen. She makes me sick.

    I am always surprised to fined that men and women can not be thought of the same. Also why is it girls, that even we find that strong females are considered bitches when men are not. I expect for some men to feel females are evil but ladies why you. We do not suport each other. We envy what others have and get and then go for the throat, shame on us all.
    As far as Kate spanking her daughter, i have raised 2 kids, punished as i felt fit, my daughter is a teacher and my son in college. They did not turn to drugs, rob or kill people or need to see any body for their messed up lives. You know what people say about opinions,and you seem to have no trouble expressing them.
    Let’s stick to facts, Kate knows what she wanted and weather you think it’s good or bad she is doing what she feels she has to to give her family the best and if she was a man would we have thought differently.
    Now lets talk about sex that Jon has said he has had to do without. Writting, book tour,8 kids oh my. Are we tired yet. So Jon evidently who could not find anything else to do seems to like bars, young girls and seems to think that he is so young at 32 and his wife being the ripe old age of what 34 needs boosting his ego by only looking for 22 years olds. Have we never heard this before. Then when caught saying Kate was messing around first. Now we hear about a book so he won’t look bad but don’t worry Jon everyone wants to blame Kate. Jon never seems to be blamed for anything. If he wanted to work on their problems then taking over and over again. No relationship runs smoothly,I have been married 38 years and ups and down sex and no sex just part of it all, somebody needs to grow up.
    Family, that again is a messy thing. If i have something and you don’t, this started out when we are kids and never changes.
    Friends come and go, like you, hate you, have more,have less so goes life.
    I have watched the this show for a long time,and the kids just seem to be kids. I see that they act,play.fight,love the same as others do.
    Finally if you can’t stand the show why are you watching and if your watching because of all this then maybe you have a problem.

    For the love of God. Divorce is just about the shittiest thing kids can go through, my parents are in the middle of a divorce and I think that if someone had tried to film me through these months I would have lost it and just locked myself in my bedroom 24/7. Why are they still filming these kids?

    My sister’s a huge fan of the show but I’ve never gotten the appeal. I still don’t. It’s easy to judge Jon and Kate, but none of us know all the details or how either of them are doing, emotionally speaking, we’re just told what the reporters choose to focus on. Hell, anyone looks nasty when you focus on the bad points. It’s even worse, with the media coverage. Sure they maybe made bad choices but they’re just human.

    I honestly just feel bad for their kids… Divorce is really, really, tough, and they’re just little.

  57. Ally_Kat says:

    I can honestly tell you, when I was about 14 I wished my parents would divorce… They did nothing but fight, and mom just bitched about my dad. At 17 they divorced, I was truly happy.

    Now that being said… I don’t there is any reason for parents to fake it, it’s quite a bit harder to see that, then to see your dad walk out the door.

    They should stop all filming, I agree with that, but only so the kids can deal in their own way… and because the show just blows…

  58. angie says:

    This whole situation is extremely sad. I’ve watched this show from the beginning, but the night they announced their divorce was the last time. I feel so sad for the children. When kate had a tummy tuck and jon had hair transplants I knew the end was near. what average family even goes there? The bottom line is that they wanted these kids, they got them and they should have suffered thru to see them grow up. Live in seperate rooms I dont care but take care of your responsibilities within your family.

  59. er nurse says:

    This show has reached it’s limit- I can’t stand kate, I despised her from the start. She’s cold and sarcastic to her husband and her kids -and jon is like a blob who sits there and quietly allows kate to pummel him with her vile nasty comments, while he does NOTHING… yikes.
    Cancel the show already and get the kids into counseling.

    These people need to have the kids’ supposed ” college funds” intercepted by a strong oversight because the way Kate spends indugently on herself, there’s likely no money left for anyone to go to college. this show could be better entitled
    “JON and KATE:LIFE FIASCO”.

    I can’t say enough what a nasty, cold b**ch she is. Why reward her for that? Because she had a humongous UTERUS and delivered multiple children? big woop!

    Dogs can have litters as well! In my opinion,and I’ve only seen 3 sporadic episodes,(because she gives me such a desire to punch her in the face), Kate is a horrible woman; selfish, mean, bitter, verbally abusive to her husband and children. Why are we watching this catastrophy?

    Good for you, Jon. I’m glad that you finally got away from the wretched beast called Kate. You stayed for years taking the abuse for your children. You were demeaned in front of them, kept away from your own family, had to quit your job and probably performed poorly due to pressure caused by that banshee. It’s funny, when a man is abusive in the way that Kate is, the woman is encouraged to leave and be brave and walk away from the abuse. When it’s a man, he should stay and be strong for the children and stick it out until they’re 18. Bull crap. Your kids seeing you abused for this long was damaging for them and I’m glad you’re taking steps to regain your self-esteem and rebuild your confidence. Once you recover from her abuse, you will be strong enough to be a good parent but you need to take the time to recover!

    Never let what armchair quarterbacks have to say get you down. Recover for you and your children so that they will have an opportunity to have at least one healthy parent that they can depend on.

    God speed and good luck.

  62. That’s the great article! I just pass ‘n read it, two thumbs up! 😉
