Jon Gosselin offers olive branch to TLC: drop lawsuit to film kids again

Jon Gosselin Takes Newest Girlfriend To Utah For Sundance
Jon Gosselin has a piss poor position in TLC’s lawsuit against him for breach of contract and he knows it. Gosselin is reportedly trying to offer a bent olive branch to the network. Radar Online reports that he’s willing to let his children be filmed again if they’ll drop the lawsuit against him. Gosselin has been blocked from making paid appearances not approved by TLC, effectively cutting off his only source of income. He’s had to take up with various well off 20-something women to make ends meet and I would bet that his latest relationship is either on the rocks or already over. The only card Gosselin has left to play is to admit he was wrong by blocking TLC. This is probably a last ditch effort for him to try and save face and attorney’s fees.

Jon Gosselin will allow TLC to film his children again if the network drops its lawsuit against him, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star is facing an expensive trial as TLC pursues its breach of contract claim against him. The prestigious law firm Williams & Connolly is representing TLC and won a preliminary injunction against Gosselin, prohibiting him from engaging in behavior that violates the non-compete clause in his contract.

Now Jon is ready to make a deal, RadarOnline.com has learned. He’s hoping to get TLC to drop the lawsuit by allowing them permission to film his children again.

But don’t expect the return of Jon & Kate Plus 8. One source with knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com that the network would NEVER take Jon back. “You can be sure that if the kids come back to TLC it will be only with Kate, not with Jon. And there’s no guarantee that will happen either.”

TLC is convinced they can make their new project with Kate work even though they have not revealed what the show’s format will be.

It is possible that Kate Plus 8 could return as several specials, rather than a regular series.

But all the talk right now about settlement is coming from Jon, who is clearly getting the worst of the situation in the litigation. He’s been restricted from making money off his reality TV fame and is no longer receiving a TLC paycheck. His trial is scheduled to being in the Spring.

Jon’s attorney Mark Heller told RadarOnline.com: “You haven’t seen the last of Jon Gosselin.”

Of course we haven’t seen the last of Jon Gosselin. If this lawsuit is ever dropped he’s going to show up at any event that will have him. He’ll ask for cash and get denied and will end up on the F-list celebrity boxing circuit like his turncoat BFF, Michael Lohan. At least his wife and kids will have money coming in again and won’t have to worry about the child support their deadbeat dad isn’t paying.

There’s also news that Kate Gosselin will be back on The View as a guest host on March 11. Kate’s potential talkshow deal with Paula Deen fell through and she’s probably worried about her next gig. Maybe she’ll be back on TLC with her kids soon. There’s still a lot of interest in this family despite the fact that they may seem played out to us.

    Translation: I’m broke, behind in child support, and will show up to the opening of an envelope if you’ll let me.

    I hope TLC tells him to get bent!

  2. DoMaJoReMc says:

    Oh, for the love of God, NOOOOOOOOOOO!

    I don’t want to see KHate (in any format…I will boycott The View any time she is scheduled to be on), or her children, and especially this moron, EVER AGAIN!

    The kids have already been damaged, emotionally, and I hope that they are receiving psycholocical help. KHate can drop off the face of this Earth for all I care.

    STOP JAMMING THIS ‘FAMILY’ DOWN OUR THROATS!

  3. bros says:

    sick sick sick. what a shithead.

  4. pebbles says:

    let it die…….please let it die……
    the show, that is…..

  5. Praise St. Angie! says:

    “Gosselin has been blocked from making paid appearances not approved by TLC, effectively cutting off his only source of income.”

    I know that HE thinks it’s his only source, but for cryin’ out loud…why doesn’t this bloated POS get a JOB like normal people?

  6. *Lee* says:

    “…You haven’t seen the last of Jon Gosselin.”

    Am I the only one who thinks that sounds kind of creepy?

  7. LindyLou says:

    I hope TLC stomps this stupid fat turd into the ground. Like CB says, no one will pay him for appearances and maybe he will just go away….for good! I’m sick of seeing his ugly mug.

  8. Judy says:

    RadarOnline is reporting that KHate did get the Paula Deen job…so hope that isn’t true. Can’t believe she’s going to be on The View again. Gag Me. And Jon is beyond pathetic.

  9. Laurie says:

    I’m so tired of this family! Please keep them off my tv, away from my magazines, and let those kids have some peace.

  10. TG says:

    What I would like to know is us normal people think he is gross and we all think La Lohan is but both of them keep showing up at events so somebody must think they are relevant.

  11. anyhoo says:

    So he’s pulling out of the ONLY decent thing he’s done, which was to get the kids out of TV so they could have a semi-normal life…..

  12. lucy2 says:

    I think those kids are much better off NOT on TV. Which is what he said too until he realized he needed his meal ticket back. I find it sadly hilarious that he doesn’t realize how stupid and transparent he is.
    Both of these parents need to get real jobs and be real parents to their kids.

  13. snapdragon says:

    argh. what a sweaty douchbag.

  14. Chrissy says:

    Wow. I’m totally shocked that his decision to stop filming had nothing to do with the welfare if his kids. He is disgusting. Sorry, but if I had been married to this creep, I would be a HUGE bitch too. I have nothing but respect for Kate at this point. She put up with him for years. Yuck.

  15. Maddie says:

    Well really people what did you think he should do neither of them “worked” for the last couple of years, they just made money off of their kids, and now that well is dry of course he wants them back of TV.

    Like most people when they lose their job, they go out and put in applications any where they can, especially when they have kids, Jon just seems to change one rich or semi rich girlfriend for another rich or semi rich girlfriend.

    If TLC is smart they will tell him to get loss and get a JOB to support those kids.

  16. Popcorny says:

    Ah ha haaa haaa. THIS totally makes up for pressing that God-awful link that took me to see Jamie Kennedy’s bogus uncooked hot-dog.
    Watching Jon fall hard yet another step makes up for everything.
    Oh, and btw, if ever there’s a pic of Jon’s tiny-teapot … -let us know for sure BUT be humane and don’t link it!

  17. Whatever says:

    A job??? He’s said he’s “too famous” to get a regular job. He’s a disgusting pig of a famewhore.

    Side note: Although I think he is lower than dog crap, I am a bit amused at all the comments against this family and the harm to the kids, compared with all the butt kissing and praise for the sickening Duggars. How is it bad for the Gosselin kids to be on tv, but ok for the Duggars to pimp out their child army, including the filming and photo ops of a VERY sick premie? Not to mention using them for slave labor to build their giant house, including the danger of allowing girls to build a house in long skirts. Why are they better? Just wondering…

  18. Codzilla says:

    Look at that bloated eyesore strutting down the sidewalk like he’s actually something people want to see. Repulsive.

  19. Anna says:

    Man, and to think I have defended him here on several occasions. This is just sickening. I hope they don’t let him off that easy, even if that *is* hoping against hope.

  20. bros says:

    TLC would look SO bad if they took him up on this and put those poor kids back on TV. I hope to god they dont. they already gave khate her own reality TV show, so they really need to let this gosselin thing die.

  21. Whatever says:

    I can’t wait to see him in jail for failure to pay child support. They do lock deadbeat dads up in PA. Now, there’s a reality show worth watching.

  22. p3rp3tu4 says:

    I don’t think I will ever be able to look at a Trigger fish the same way again lol.

  23. buckley says:

    urgh…this POS received swag at Sundance?
    Just. No. Words.

  24. Leslye says:

    This just goes to show that this guy is the biggest liar on the planet. We all knew he was just out for himself, this just proves it. Kate is well rid of him.

  25. Dani says:

    “There’s still a lot of interest in this family despite the fact that they may seem played out to us.”

    If you think they’re played out to yourself and your readers, why keep writing articles about them? For the small percentage that may read the site that likes them?

  26. Maritza says:

    People can’t stand him! Who on earth wants to hire him anyway? I’d love to see the kids again though.

  27. Feebee says:

    Even with the obvious groundswell of utter disdain for this creep, this is America, somebody will hire him to turn up at their pool party. Eeeewwwww.

  28. Aspie says:

    He was obviously in it only for the money…his kids were never his main priority. It’s not just merely a coincidence that he’s allowing the cameras to film his kids again now that he’s broke, is it?

    He’s so disgusting.

  29. ann says:

    will not watch, will not watch, will not watch. . . . . . . . . . .
    Here’s hoping TLC will not follow through with this. This man is toxic.
    He is shallow, self absorbed and pathic. Worse than that he is a horrible father. Sell your kids down the river for 5 more seconds of fame!!!!

  30. CB Rawks says:

    HAHAHAHAHAAA
    Suckit Douche.

  31. Lady D says:

    Only a truly loving parent would offer to pimp his own children. I mean, as opposed to letting a stranger do it. That pig doesn’t deserve those beautiful children.

  32. escapee says:

    Good call Lady D. If he really stopped filming “due to concern for his kids’ well-being” then what does that say about him as a father – sacrificing their best interests for his own? I recall him saying on the show one time that he “would do anything for his kids, that he would die for them”. Way to prove your words daddy dearest.

  33. BiggieShortie says:

    Wasn’t he sayin’ some shit about his kids being looked at on tv by pedophiles?! Wasn’t THAT part of his reason for putting the kibosh on the kids filming? I guess there are no more pedophiles with tv’s, eh?

  34. Jazz says:

    Noooo, don’t film the kids again Jon, you tool.

  35. yae says:

    John had a great attorney counseling him when he made the decision to pull his kids out.

    I think those attorneys are just wonderful guys. They really got the job done nicely. And they gave him great advice. ~snort

    Wonder how much they got paid for that “advice”? Who were those attorneys again? Hmmm

  36. Whatever says:

    There was only one reason he wanted to stop the show and it had nothing to do with the best interests of his kids. HE wasn’t getting paid and if Jon can’t profit, he won’t cooperate. Now that there is something in it for him (dropped lawsuit) suddenly it is ok. He only cares about himself, which is why he is almost never with the kids anymore.

  37. Sunflower says:

    L-O-S-E-R!!

  38. bella says:

    The reason Jon stopped filming/production of J & K + 8 was because TLC told him he wouldn’t get paid if he continued his nasty behaviour; he basically told TLC that if he wasn’t allowed to do whatever he wants and still get paid, he would put an end to the show. That’s exactly what he did.

    Now that he can’t get paid for his appearances, and no “normal” person would hire him because he’s such an ass, he’s all about reconciling with TLC. I reiterate, TLC needs to tell him to get bent. Ain’t karma about a bitch!

  39. Madisyn says:

    Lets get real people. Any “normal” person would hire him if he actually APPLIED FOR A JOB. This twit doesn’t want a “normal” job because how on earth would he have the time to parade around in front of any camera within eyeshot?

  40. Dhavy says:

    I hope TLC doesn’t make the mistake of letting him get away with using his kids for money. They should just forget about him and force him to get a regular job. He’s so nasty

  41. Raquel says:

    am i the only one thats happy? i’ve loved this show since it first started and is not yet convinced that jon gosselin is the worst guy living. if the show does come back no i dont want jon on it, but if having him on it is the only way of getting the show back on i am 100% supporting it. and yes i will watch it every week it airs. KATE GOSSELIN BEST WISHES TO YOU AND THE KIDS.
