Radar Online used to run a lot of flattering fluff pieces on Kate Gosselin, but it looks like they’re getting better information from Jon lately, because this new article will piss Kate the hell off. They claim that Kate lied when she told both Entertainment Tonight and The Today Show that in no way were two of her six year-old sextuplets expelled from their private school in Pennsylvania and were instead being homeschooled because “the pressure was getting to them” and “they needed some breathing time.” She also claimed that her children were having “anger issues” that were “normal” during a divorce and that she “mutually agreed” with school officials that the two who were having trouble, Colin and Alexis, would be tutored at home with the “goal to get them back into school.” All of that is a pack of lies according to Radar, which claims that the school wrote Kate a letter telling her that Colin and Alexis were no longer welcome there after two incidents in which an adult was hurt. They’re also said to have bullied other students.
Kate Gosselin lied when she denied her children Alexis and Collin were expelled from school, and RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the situation is far worse than what has been previously reported.
One of the expelled Gosselin kids physically harmed an adult at the school TWO TIMES, creating a situation that caused school administrators to believe they had no choice but to remove that child from school, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.
The nature and extent of the adult’s injuries are not known, but the situation was severe enough that it contributed heavily to the school’s decision to expel the children. RadarOnline.com has also learned that both of Gosselin children were abusive to other children in the school, creating an untenable situation.
In a defensive move, Kate went on camera with Entertainment Tonight in late November and denied reports that her children Alexis and Collin, both 6, were expelled.
But RadarOnline.com has not only confirmed that Kate lied — the children were infact expelled — but we’ve also uncovered the sad truth that the Pennsylvania private school said both children were physically abusive to classmates.
On TV Kate was asked: “Let’s set the record straight. Kids. Two of them rumored to be kicked out of school. Is that true?”
She answered: “No. Two of my children are being tutored at home.”
That lie has deepened the rift between Kate and ex-husband Jon.
“Both Jon and Kate were sent a letter from the head of school explaining that despite their best efforts, staff had reached a point at which they had to request the children enroll in another program,” a source close to the school told RadarOnline.com.
“It’s clear Kate did not tell the truth.”
Kate’s denial of their problems has left many people close to the school perplexed at the very least.
“Both Alexis and Colin received three full weeks of intensive special treatment to focus their behavior,” revealed the source.
“While the teacher was able to achieve some success, it became apparent to the school that the pair needed intensive assistance to help them with their social, emotional and academic needs.
“The demand on the children’s classroom teachers — and the impact on other kids — was just too great.”
[From Radar Online]
The article goes on to say that Colin and Alexis “can’t just be tutored, at home: these kids need to be integrated with other children.
“Jon and his girlfriend Ellen take them to public parks to play with other kids and they tell them to go and make friends, because it’s clear they need to develop their social skills.”
Obviously Jon is Radar’s source and he’s pushing his agenda. Plenty of kids do fine when they’re homeschooled and while I send my kid to public school I don’t think there’s anything wrong with homeschooling or home tutoring. Plus these kids have siblings so they’re obviously getting social time with other kids their age. One thing they don’t seem to be getting is consistent loving discipline, though. I can see Kate smacking and yelling at them (as she’s been photographed doing) but that just teaches the kids that smacking and yelling is how you deal with conflict. No wonder they’re having problems and lashing out when they have a mom like Kate.
Schocker!
There was a brief moment during the Dancing with the stars debacle that I felt a little sorry for Kate….now after the Sarah Palin show and this B.S., I just hate her! Is the only reason she has custody is because her creepy husband has no job? Why can’t she be forced to pay him to stay at that big house and be the primary caregiver?
More like Kate is so in love with her ‘fame’ that her children come second. If they’re being expelled, then that points toward serious behavioural issues that will only worsen the more wrapped up she is with her idea of celebrity.
Hello, so many other women have multiple births. What the hell makes her so special?
Why do networks even bother giving her any media time?
Kate Gosslin & Dina Lohan…separated at birth?
I agree. They need loving discipline. I think their violent behaviour comes from the fact that’s how they are being taught.
I somewhat disagree about homeschooling, I honestly don’t think any one person can teach all the subjects necessary for a child to get the same level of education they would at school BUT that aside in this situation especially the kids need an environment without cameras and you get much different interaction with other kids than you do with your brothers and sisters. Either way the kids have her as a mom and are fucked and I feel real sorry for them and hope they turn out o.k.
yup, they’re just mimicking what they see mom/dad do, like kids always do. good job, Kate!
man… does she ever look like an absolute bitch or what?
@ Majalane; the reason Kate doesn’t want Jon staying at the house watching the kids is that when he did so shortly after the split he brought “help”.
These kids have already suffered enough public humiliation at the hands of their parents. Why does their expulsion need to make the news? Kate is vile and obviously she would lie about this. However, kids should be off-limits!
@anna
Then the judge in their case needs to set ground rules and icky Kate can just go live somewhere else. Someone needs to sue Kate NOW on behalf of this tribe of children and stick the money in the bank for them.
Why isn’t children’s services investigating this awful, manipulative excuse for a mother.
Her Brett Michaels hair is probably pulling her brain too tight. this is unsurprising, and leaving 2 kids at home under her loving care while 6 of the other kids go to real school is a recipe for resentment and unequal maturation.
kate is a failure of a human being. there is a blind item about a reality tv star getting a $2,000 haircut, not tipping, and not saying a word of thanks to anyone except her bodyguard when he opened the door for her. hmmmmmmmmm.
@bria-exactly.
And what’s up with the hideous bouffant that’s suddently everywhere? Jenny McCarthy, Rimes, ScarJo, Oprah?
Look, the dynamic of this family would be difficult on any child and this is something that they may grow out of. I don’t like to pass judgement on people with small children who have problems with them because kids are difficult to raise but I think she should try taking them out of the spotlight.
who?
How could Jon be the source on Radar Online? He’s under a gag order to not talk to the media – per his contract with TLC – and the last time he violated that, they sued him. I think the only way he could be the source is if he had a friend be the source, and I just don’t think he’s clever enough to pull something like that off.
Ok *wipes eyes* I read that too quickly and thought “tutored” read “tortured”
I guess TLC couldn’t cover up the truth this time.
Ms. Hate Gosselin.
I just can’t with this waste. I can’t wait for Kate to go help other “Mothers” on “Twist of Kate”. I wonder what kind of inspiration Kate will bestow on her victims. If she spent as much time on her money makers then on herself.. Uggg.
If we would stop watching her show, stop printing stories about her maybe she would go away. She thinks she is better than everyone else, she talks down to everyone and she is just a COMPLETE BIOTCH fame whore. No wonder her kids have the same attitude, I think they would be better with John.
I agree that children need more interaction with children their age than just that with siblings (especially in this case), but MOST responsible parents who homeschool make sure that their children are also enrolled in neighborhood programs with other children their age as well, often sports, dance, of art classes.
Which I don’t think for a split second Kate is doing, nor cares to do. ITA, the children are only using the behavioral lessons they’ve been given to deal with conflict and normal life problems. Jon would NOT be parent of the year by ANY stretch, but when the other option is Kate, how can I *NOT* want him to have care of the children? =(
My only hope is that being called out on her lie so publicly, which makes her sound either ‘unconcerned with the seriousness of the issue’, or ‘completely out of touch with reality’, will bring these kids the help they need.
EDIT- @SRM (#9)- I do agree with you that children should not be subject to public humiliation and jibes from media… BUT you also have to consider that the parents made them ‘fair game’ when they sold their lives (and childhood) to this tv show.
It’s wrong and horrible that any parent would do this. But in THIS one case, I’m truly hoping the negative attention will let everyone see proof of how horrible the kids’ situation is, how terrible a job Kate is doing as a parent, and maybe bring them HELP.
photos #2 & #3: oh man, ET has the barbra walters diffusion filter on kate!
Kate needs to realize that these kids are going to grow up one day and have a lot of opinions and resentment about how she interacted with them and the decisions she made for them.
She is going to be a very lonely old lady who will be stuck in a nursing home at the first opportunity – if her kids even care enough about her to do that.
I always thought that she was a lying sack of shit. Now, there is proof of it.
Well I thought that the Gossleins had shared custody – that’s why Kate isn’t getting child support because they both have the kids equal physical time. She wants full custody so Jon will pay child support even though given a choice, I think Jon would be the better parent to have full physical custody. I’m not saying he’s a great parent, but compared to Kate, right now I think he’d be better.
I think the fame when to Kates head. She probably was always a bit demanding but has even become more so as she’s tasted the perks of being rich. I think if it’s not being filmed on camera, Kate pays her kids no attention. Leaves the daily care and raising to nannies. Remember the story about how once the filming was done at the Holloween corn maze, she made her kids leave midway through the activities? And before filming started she dozed in the car totally uninterested in what her kids were doing, leaving their care to others? Likewise, this trip to Alaska camping. Her kids were having a ball. Rather than suck it up and make do because it made her kids happy, she makes it all about her and another opportunity to prove to them once again, their needs and wants are irrelevant.
Her family needs counseling, she needs to practice consistent loving discipline and pay attention to her kids if she doesn’t want them to go way out of control. Without changes, the teenaged and young adult years could be quite destructive.
Oh gosh, lookie what Kate recently did:
“This reality star, well not really anymore thank goodness. Anyway, she recently got a $2,000 hair cut and did not tip anyone. She also said thank you to just one person and that was her bodyguard when he opened the door for her. Classless.”

Every time I read the word “tutored” I’m hearing “tortured” in my head.
Didn’t any of you follow the history of this family? Kate made Jon stop working to stay home and be her servant. Then she told him the marriage was over one month after they renewed their vows in Hawaii, and he moved intonthe garage apartment . They kept it a secret so they could keep doing the show . After a while, Jin, like ALL men who are separated , began dating, and that bitch took the opportunity to blame it all on Jon, even though the separation was HER idea. The kids are a mess. They are very, very delayed for their age, and speak like babies for being almost SEVEN. It’s nit an interesting show anymore. It’s all about who Kate can flirt with and make an ass out of herself. Massy has acted like a snotty spoiled brat since day one, and I think Kate finished off any possibility of looking like a good mom with Sara palin. Even Sara’s daughter had no use for any of them after that camping trip. What a joke. Everyone needs to stop blaming Jon. Watch the old shows. Shevtreated him like crap, and he was always the much more loving parent. Kate is now encouraging those kids to act babyish to keep the show going. Sorry – it was fun watching babies, but who wants to watch a bunch of overindulged half grown brats? No one. I raised six kids in my own with no help. I’m sick of hearing Kate talk about how her kids deserve all this free crap and extra attention. She could make enough money to raise them as a nurse if she wasn’t so damn greedy for herself! I cannot stand this woman and hope the show us cancelled!
I cannot WAIT until they kids start writing their tell-alls. I have never watched this show, only know them through tabloid fodder. I hope at least on of them turns into some type of advocate for not putting kids on reality television.
My mother is just like Kate. And from experience, unless you have someone SANE who cares enough to show you the right way of behaving, it’s a long, slow ride to biiiig trouble. Expect drugs or pregnancy stories!
@Sam. Good summery. Those poor kids. She is evil, isn’t she?
What disturbs me is that there is always anger in her voice – never gentleness or kindness.
It is time CPS showed up at the kids school questioned the kids seperately and investigated her sorry ass.
I do not think Jon leaked this story as kate & her TLC paid for army of lawyers have his nuts in a wringer. The stories of what went down at the school were leaked in the local blogs long b4 kate tried to save face on her Today Show Denial.
They are the devil’s spawn.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
There will be lots more drama to come I’m sure.
“My kids are the reason I have always done everything. My kids are the reason I laid on bed rest for 30 entire weeks. My kids are the reason that I wrote the books and it’s always about them. And, I know that it looks it’s all about me all the time and whatever, but what you don’t see is down deep inside it’s a desperate desire to provide for my kids.”
Kate Gosselin
I understand a parent who maybe feels at the mercy of a school district or problems happening at school that is impacting their child and want to take control. But I have such a huge problem with homeschooling.
Yes, there are parents who are totally organized and intelligent and can do a good job homeschooling. But very often, you have an unorganized mess with parents who do not have the skills to teach.
If someone wants to homeschool, shouldn’t the parent at the very least have a teaching credential? I know this opinion might anger some, but I have seen many times absolutely ridiculous and unqualified parents ‘homeschooling’ their kids and their kids are so far behind academic wise, it’s pathetic.
I understand where hairball is coming from, because I also have seen some pretty scary families that home school.
Be careful in judging though. This family has always been abused by Kate. The early shows, her cruelty to Jon and the children was breathtaking. I have been amazed watching TMZ build her into a saint. The proof is on tape, just watch any early pre breakup episode.. Jon’s mistake was allowing her to be such a monster in the beginning. He could have tried standing up for the kids, but he always just went along. He was always much better with his children, no question.
You don’t homeschool because your kid got expelled. You homeschool to give your kids better chances and a happier life than public school can provide. My son is 15 with lots of friends and sports. He will be finishing his second year of college this spring. The difference is, he had lots of great love, support and boundaries when he was young. When he was six, he would never have injured anyone, much less a respected authority figure. Something is very sick, and very wrong with the Gosselin family. And our media pushes this as entertainment.
Baby, that’s crap. She could provide for them by nursing, not exploiting them. I might believe a small part of that if she was not spending so much money on herself. Can someone tell me for what insane reason she needs a BODYGUARD? Come on! She’s not the president! Remember the Dilley family who had sextuplets? The moved to a SMALLER house after they were born so they could afford it!!!
Thrre was a special about them a few years ago, and those children have grown up well adjusted, normal and smart. And same with the Table for 10 family. They weren’t so f’ing greedy!!!! Snd they have a handicapped child, too. No one there has a body guard. Kate is a joke. Everything she does is for herself, not her kids.
@ hairball-
Do you really think Kate Gosselin is personally homeschooling her two children? No she has tutors for them.
As for your comment on homeschooling, I think you are partially right. Some parents shouldn’t homeschool, just as some teachers shouldn’t teach.
I choose to remove my children from public school and homeschool them. They are doing fantastic. My eldest will be attending middle school next year, if he desires.( Our district offers free web based classes for middle-high school students.) I was also able to take my youngest off of his adhd medication and he is doing much better at home. Yes, I have an advanced degree, but I have met homeschooling moms with just a high school diploma that do a great job with elementary aged children.
Madelyn Grace, you poor child.
Ugh, second post today about horrible parents being absolutely rewarded with fame and money while they more or less abuse their children while the nation watches. We are sick, sick culture!
MissKittyLitter:
I’m glad it is working for your family. As I said, some families can do it. I’m not trying to make you feel bad about your choice for your family.
For me, I just can’t change my own opinion about homeschooling. Of course Kate has tutors, does the woman do anything for her children herself? But most homeschooled children do not have personal tutors.
I just have seen too many times families who can’t even organize their home life, not to mention being responsible for teaching their children at home on top of it.
What training do these parents have to actually teach their kids not to mention teaching the kids how to function with other people in society?
(Please don’t blow up at me, I am sincerely not trying to attack your personal situation)
That’s fine I suppose (but not really since learning to read and math etc is extremely important in elementary school) if a parent only has a high school diploma, but once the child gets into the higher grades, can the parent really effectively teach all the subject matter?
Kindergarten is now like 1st grade etc. I sincerely can understand the feeling of not having control with regards to the school district and fear of losing your child to them, but I just can’t shake my opinion of homeschooling.
@Cough Once – Jon’s problem is he is a pushover. He didn’t even want these six kids but he let her go ahead with the IVF or whatever it was they used to get these kids. If a man doesn’t want more children and he let’s his wife steamroll him into having more he is setting himself up for failure.
And all of the home school kids I have ever met have been very intelligent and excelled in academics. If you aren’t lucky enough to live in a fabulous district or rich enough for private school home school is a good option. My step-daughter wastes so much time on nonsense at school and I remember growing up all the movies we watched at school. What a waste of time.
And who pays for a $2,000 haircut? I wouldn’t leave a tip either if someone charged me that. Isn’t that tip enough?
Ugly. Bitch. Face.
The End.
She could provide for them by nursing, not exploiting them.
__________
Damn, she would need boobs the size of beachballs. Or were you thinking “nurturing”?
that photo with the dog is really cute, but i’ll bet those kids have alot of anger issues to work out, and not just because of the divorce.
I am sticking a fork in my leg when I say this but:
GIVE THE KIDS TO JON!
There I said it. whew, that hurt.
Sam, I know it’s a joke that’s why I posted it.. She is way beyond delusional. Which is fine except she is hurting alot of innocent children.. I can’t stand the bit$h myself.
Actually the home/parents.family is where the largest and most important ‘socialization’ learning takes place.
As we can already see from her kids being expelled, they have learned how to behave in social situations as their mother does (eg learned form home)- which is aggressive, disrespectful, non-cooperative, abusive, etc.
So even though they WERE in school and exposed to other children, that obviously did not work like some magic cure-all to create the perfectly socialized child. They will only act out what they are ingrained with from their homelife, out there in their social lives.
I was homeschooled and also in an abusive environment, luckily we escaped and I consciously took the time to work on myself and outgrow and unlearn what I learned from home- socially speaking.
Socially I am now fine, and academically, successful too 😉
-and thats why we have ‘cycles of abuse’ even though abusive people are also exposed to and interacting with tens, hundreds or even thousands of other people every day. Its more complex than throwing them in school and hoping for the best some 13 years later.
And I think the number of ineffective teachers or children who are failed by the public school system is higher than the number of children who are taught by unqualified parents. As for academic performance, homeschooled children usually far excel the national averages, when assessed as a whole, so those few inept parents are maybe few and far between or, the children taught by those inept parents maybe arent that poorly educated. Could be also that they are failed by their parents, but it still hasnt happened enough to bring the averages low enough.
TG, I assume its for her extensions. and yes, if the service is 2k, which many extension services are, just like a huge bill at a restaurant, you tip.
My heart breaks for these children.
Their emotionally abusive, egomaniacal parents sold their little souls to the highest bidder and now each of their every mistakes are going to be broadcast by the tabloids for the rest of their lives.
So unfair.
Homeschooling is a great option.
Do you see that last word? It says “option”. That means choice.
These two kids aren’t being homeschooled because their mother chose to do so. They’re being homeschooled as a last resort, and that is the worst way to go about it.
Homeschooling parents know that they have to have their children interact with others. It’s actually stated in many different homeschooling guides given out in every state. Most list activities and events specifically geared for homeschooling families.
These kids won’t be a part of that curriculum, which is something their old school obviously knows because of their mother’s behavior. The sad reality here is that no matter where these children go, what form of schooling the have, they will always, ALWAYS have the core source of their problems remain the second they are done and that’s Kate.
As for Jon being the “source” of this story, I actually sat down with a friend of mine a few weeks ago to watch her collection of Jon & Kate DVDs. It was…disturbing.
People here get on Jon’s case, call him an idiot, a loser, etc… But you know what? He loves those kids. You see it in his face and in his actions. This is a man who would get up and make the kids breakfast in the morning before work. He’d come home AFTER work and spend time with them, read to the, bathe them, and put them to bed. It’s a struggle for most SAHMs to get their husbands to do half of that and he did it willingly.
Every time there was some kind of crisis, he was the one who stepped up to the plate to help out the children. My personal favorite scene was when one of the boys was so constipated he was in pain. Kate insisted they go shopping for bunk beds and he stayed in the car with that boy and helped him…relieve himself…manually.
That’s not an idiot, or a loser. That’s a DAD. Yeah, he’s made some mistakes, but you know what? He’s trying to rectify that now. He’s no longer in the spotlight, he’s taken a regular IT job, he’s trying to keep his kids from being in the cameras when he has them.
Kate…?
$2000 haircuts and TV appearances so that she can lie about the behavior of her children.
Who do you honestly think is the better parent here?
For $2000, I’d expect to come out with hair like Lady Godiva!
That last photo with one of the twins crying is rather disturbing. It almost looks like Kate is pinching the girl hard to make her cry!
Is that the alleged $2,000 haircut that was in a blind just recently? If so, she needs to get her money back.
In 15years we will hear stories from these children. Mark my words.
I have never watched this people but I will say that that woman’s energy (easy to see in the pictures ) is terrible! She looks like a super galactic bitch, I feel sorry for those kids
Why is this ugly soul famous? Her aura looks pointy….
As a teacher, I can completely see Kate’s kids having behavior issues at school. Watching the show, it’s clear they do not have typical childhood experiences and have been given a lot more than most children their age. That said, having to have limits at school is probably difficult for them. It appears Kate is too into her “career” and Jon is….doing whatever it is that he does, so parenting is not their top priority. I would NOT want to be their teacher. Kate is totally a parent who would blame the teacher for her own children’s issues.
@daisyfly: AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!
I would like to see someone other than ET’s Mary Hart ask these questions. Quite obviously, they are friends (and I think ABC demands it…who would CHOOSE to be KHATE’s friend on their own?), and Mary seems to give Gosselin a free pass and never calls her on her constant contradictions. Get a REAL interviewer. I love Mary Hart, but lost a lot of respect for her for letting KHATE slide in un-truths. And as far as the Today show interviews, let Matt Lauer ask the tough questions that no one else seems to be able to do. She’s protesting FAAAAAAR too much.
If both Jon and Kate had “jobs” they could support their children. However, Kate wants the glitz, the fancy trips, hair extensions, and plastic surgery. That costs money and nursing is hard work and it would cause her to break an acrylic nail. I don’t buy her sob stories about trying to support her family. She lives in a mansion with bodyguard(s) housekeeper(s) and nannies. For what? She has no talent other than being a cold vindictive witch. Her children are obviously suffering and if they are physically hurting an adult at age 6, then think how it will escalate as they get older.
TLC should be ashamed to continue this show. I for one, am sick of shows that portray family discord, bullying, low class behaviour, and exploitation of children. I’ve recently canceled my cable tv and will settle on either reading or watching movies. Until the Kardashians, Gosellins, Jersey Shore etc disappear, I’m done with tv.
Am I the only one who has serious issues with the gag order, and huge amount of ‘threat’ hovering over Jon all the time?
Does that mean even if he has legitimate concerns for his children’s health and well being, that the gag order prevents him from being able to voice it? (even just to the authorities?)
She must have graduated from The Lohan Academy of Parenting with honors!
She is clueless. She isnt involved in her kids lives emotionally. She just drags them out when a camera and paycheck are around so she probably really didnt know these children have issues. Sad for those kids she is just in it for the fame.
@Kiska: Jon has a normal job in IT again.
BOYCOTT HER. BOYCOTT HER. BOYCOTT HER.
The kids are so annoying.
But make no doubt, I would destroy her.
But on to the really interesting part of this story: what the heck does a 6 year old do, to get themselves expelled from school??!!
If she was smart with the money she has made thus far she could easily pull her kids out of the spotlight and care for them. If necessary she could get a day job because they’re in school full time now. She chooses to exploit them. Nothing she does is for those kids, it’s all for herself and everyone knows it. What I wonder is does she truly think she’s fooling the public or is she so delusional that she believes her own bullish*t?
And what does she need a bodyguard for??? The mind boggles.
@daisfly:great comment! I totally agree with you. Jon should get the kids. Kate has proven to the world that she is a terrible, selfish, self-centered, lying, materialistic, controlling and the list goes on and on. I could write a negative comment about her every day. Her behavior on Sarah Palin’s Alaska sickened me. She does not deserve those kids!!!!
@DoMaJorReMc: I stopped watching Kate Gosselin ages ago. When she started abusing Jon, that was it for me. I do not watch any show that she has been on. As soon as Kate is on a show it turns my stomach and I will not watch anymore. Mary Hart is another phony. Can’t stand her voice and her constipated smile. Bottom line, I will not help exploit those children. Even if Kate has her own show I will not watch because I can’t stand her as a person. She is vile.
Don’t you know that Jon must be so happy he doesn’t have to listen to her orders! Talk about a hot mess! I do hope that the kids don’t inherit her ways. She is a perfect example of the fact that money can’t buy happiness, or that ugly is what her inside heart reflects. Why is she called a “Star”? Go figure.
You just have to have fun with someone like her! Love it!!!
