Anyone wanna lay down your guess when this marriage will end in Divorce Court? Here’s mine:
NOVEMBER 21, 2009.
Someone is WASTED in this picture, don’t ‘cha think?
Seriously, how much longer can Jon Gosselin continue to raise eight kids by himself? Kate goes around publicizing their money-making children, gallivanting across the U.S traveling on her media tour. Let’s not speculate when the last time they had sex was. Oh, hell, you forced me … my guess is his 30th birthday in Key West, before she got her sunburn.
I’ve sat quietly the past week without blogging about Jon’s infamous bar night on February 6th. After reading Star Magazine’s March 16 issue, I can no longer hold my thoughts. They say a picture speaks a thousand words …
I saw this picture online somewhere else before it was on Live Journal. I knew it was gonna cause some heat, but a four page spread in Star Magazine? Watch out Kate, because YOUR MARRIAGE MAY SOON BE OVER!!!
Star Magazine is reporting that Jon spent SEVERAL nights out drinking without Kate. First, he popped up at a party thrown by Erin Albert and Mariel Little. He has been spending time by his mother’s home in Huntingdon, PA. And apparently, he has been spending time “kissing girls necks and mouths and playing beer pong with Juniata College’s Woman’s Volleyball team?“ Oh, fucking no he didn’t.
There’s more! He went out to dinner with his mom and step dad and apparently asked for the hotter waitress … and ended up leaving with some divorcee from the bar … then left her crying in another bar, called Johnny’s Bar. WTF? Star has a quote from Jon’s mother that I just love : “What are you doing? Stop acting like a fool. I WILL NOT COVER FOR YOU.”
Even better, Jon’s mom bought the President of Juniata College dinner as a way to apologize for his jackass behavior. Jon Gosselin, you just may have ended the gravy train. Hello America, Jon and Kate ARE NOT HAPPY TOGETHER. IT IS ALL A SHAM. EVEN HIS MOTHER ELUDES TO COVERING UP. You can read more here, but please pick up a copy of the magazine instead. It is totally worth it!

For a long time now, this show has been all about Kate Gosselin and the free stuff she thinks she is entitled to get. All of those appliances, free. Dogs, probably free. Trips, clothes, teeth, tummy, and probably even her iPhone. Just look at some of the people she’s meeting these days:
What will it take for the show to get canceled? So far this season we saw three boring episodes about their house, then a show that was filmed two months later (As said on tv, evidenced by the aging of the puppies) because of Kate’s travel plans. She was away on business twice during the filming of that episode. Plus, she was gone when the packing episodes were filmed. Its obvious to that neither one of them spend quality time together … its all about the fame rather than the family or each other. Hell, having sextuplets these days is nothing. We are having a new show debuting on TLC – Table for Twelve, which features the same family from their special Twins, Twins and Sextuplets. Plus, there is Octomom aka Octopussy, who even though TLC says she won’t get a show – I bet you she will when all the heat dies down.
Remember their wedding, when Kate kept saying “We will never get divorced.“ Why say this? Obviously she is aware that neither of them are happy and they are just going through the motions. Look at her body language. She is holding on to Jon as if he was a possession, not as a husband who she loves. In my opinion these smiles are fakes.
Here is an interesting article from a legitimate news source that also believes the time for the show has passed, or rather “The jig is up.”
http://www.phillymag.com/articles/jon_and_kate_gosselin/page1
According to the author, The Gosselins, who still continue to accept Love Offerings (Free money collected at church gatherings) “moved into a $1.13 million house on 24 acres in Lower Heidelberg Township, near Reading in Berks County.” So, they have the money and means to own 24 acres of land … even though neither one of them is employed. Now you know where the Gosselins live.
Also, so many people have been googling what KON means … I have to answer them, lol! KON is Jon and Kate’s celebrity nickname, like Brangelina stands for Brad and Angelina, or Bennifer, for Ben and Jennifer. Get it?

Yes they are miserable but he can’t leave for like 16 years because that DEVIL BITCH will put that guy through HELL! And so it’s just better for him to stay like most dad’s do…sacrifice for the kids. He’s actually an abused man!
That’s a funny comment. Considering the fact that Jon knew what type of personality Kate had when he married her. If he doesn’t like the way she is , he should have never married her or had eight children with her. Let’s be reasonable. I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. He is an immature male who cheated on his wife and now his children will have to suffer because of it.
Abused my ass!!!!
Eh hem. You are throwing around allegations right now. Not to mention that they did not try to have 8 kids. Not to mention what fame can do to a person. In my opinion, the money and fame has changed Kate much more than it has changed Jon. Being that she has changed so much, it is unfair to say that Jon should not have married her knowing the kind of person she is. I bet he wasn’t pondering how Kate would change if they had 8 kids and a TV show while shopping for the engagement ring.
You’re probably some crazy soccer mom who doesn’t think that the wife can do any wrong and it’s always the guys fault that a marriage goes bad. There, I’ll throw that allegation around.
Um, GoJonGo, did you even read what I said? I am on Jon’s side, as I believe Kate is, and has always had control issues. The show has clearly made her worse and fame went to her head. Even E! is reporting on her first engagement, how she allegedly cheated on him and how he thought she was a controlling girlfriend. From episode one of J&K+8 it was clear to me and most of America that Kate was controlling. Just pick up any magazine or turn on any news station or entertainment show to see other people voice the same thoughts. Even Good Houskeeping wrote something to that effect last November when they were on the cover.
Pay attention before you decide to insult me or anyone here again. It is clear you never fully read my posts on the family and just read one or two lines that you didn’t like or misunderstood. Go take a class in reading comprehension before returning here again.
She did abuse him. He loved her and tried to stick it out. She spends money,(god knows how much) on spas and designer clothes and bitched him out for not taking a $20 coupon for a shower head. Then she says the house was bought for the kids
Then turns around in another episode, looks out the kitchen window, waves her hand and says, “All mine”. I hate that bitch, and then I hate her for making me hate someone. I am so sick of Jon taking all the bad wrap. That no good bitch figured she was going to end up with her body guard so told Jon she wanted a divorce. Ha, Ha bitch. Didn’t work out for you. She has no talent whatsoever, and rides on her kids coat tails. She is nothing without her kids. Get her the hell out of here!
Donna
I just realized I can watch this show on-line which I will do for the first time shortly to see what all the fuss is about. I did hear about her husbands bizarre behavior though- ick. ick. and ick.
Hey Girl,
Excellent entry. As far as my guess for divorce filing-it’ll either be late this year or first part of next year. Definitely after they suck everyone dry with Season 5 (which starts in May, just a few short weeks after the season finale 3/23-that’s a jacked up season schedule isn’t it?), and all of the previously scheduled church and women’s conference scamming appearances.
As the topic of child support is likely to come up in this thread, I am bringing my post from other J&K entry and what I think will/should go down on that:
Why do people assume Jon will owe Kate anything for child support? She’s the main ‘breadwinner businesswoman’ (by pimping ‘her’ story) GAG! If I were the judge in this future case, I would either give Jon custody of all 8 and make her pay (essentially the kids are paying their own way if you really break it down) the bitch is never home anyway, OR split the kids up Jon gets Cara and the boys, Kate gets Kate-clone Mady, her precious Hannie and the other girls and they’re responsible for their own four kid’s support . If the scenario played out where Jon gets all 8 full-time, I would also award him the Konpound and make the bitch move out of her ‘mine all MINE’ mansion. Wouldn’t THAT be sweet justice? Ha!
TGFTG-there are several more of Jon’s barhopping photos out there. I’ll be glad to email them for you if you want to fill the page up, haha!
Bobbycat – Sure, send me the photos. I only looked on photobucket, since its a file sharing site.
Obviously you are not watching the same show…Kate was at home with the kids the first 3 seasons. She was a nurse and had to quit working after the twins. It is obvious you have no kids of your own becuase Kate is doing a fantastic job. If writing books helps provide for her 8 children…why not? And anyone wishing a divorce for this family is sick…how do you think that will affect the kids? I hope they work thru this difficlt time and prove you all wrong. On a side note…if Jon was raising the kids without Kates help he would not have been at the bar in the first place….
Neither Jon nor Kare are doing anything on their own. Alot of the money they have to pay for everthing is from the reality show (up towards $50,000 per episode) all the trips, all the times they have moved into a home that is bigger and better then the last. And lets not forget the “Love Offerings” that people in good faith are giving them, when so many other familes out there need the help more, but don’t go around whining about it. I really hope that they do not get a divorce, but being in the pulic eye takes its toll, they need to stop the show, all the appearances and start living a simpler life like nealy all Americans have to do now. Kate or Jon need to learn how to sew, and on that huge piece of land they live on start growing their own fruits and vegetables, learn to can them. Get some cows for milking, and slughtering, as well as pigs and chickens. They Jon and Kate were the ones who were not happy with only having 2 children and wanted more. So let them buckle down and raise them out of the public eye.
FIRST OF ALL KATE IS A DUMB ASS…How dare her to use her kids as a way to make money in the first place she was ok the first few seasons and now all that taste of money went to her head and i hope jon leave her nagging ass… he has a right to do what ever he wants just like her. maybe if she was alittle more respectful to he man he would not be getting drunk just to put up with her.. Im so sick of watching her show and hearing her bitching at ppl all the time.. why cant you just be happy and enjoy your family like you did in the beginning..Im on your side jon the hell what everyone else says
Dana – The best thing we can all do is not watch the show Monday. I’m not going to. If they hype all this alleged infadelity on the show I definately don’t want to see it. That would be the same thing to me as watching Charm School. Yikes. What ever happened to the kids? How is Mady doing?
I,m with you. It’s been awhile since I watched the show and I totally refuse to again.
How can you say that about splitting kids… all Jon talks about is how he wants to just hang around the “guys” and whining about being so much with the kids… he doesnt want these kids… he wants to do his own thing… and maybe fit the kids inbetween partying, or what ever else HE wants to do
I do agree the marriage is in shambles. People don’t say things like “we will never get divorced” unless there has been talk of it. It is painfully obvious that Kate/TLC are making a point to have Kate absent from most of the episodes. I think this is a last ditch effort to save the show, since Jon is the more liked parent. KON has become a PR nightmare!
the show could get cancelled sooner if everybody refused to watch it. Even though we could all sit and get a chuckle and cat call while we watch it…as long as the little tally mark goes up that our tv has zoned in on it..they get another hit.
EVERYBODY needs to turn it off. The ratings go down and so does the show. It’s all ratings based.
these 2 losers need to be knocked back into the real world and real damn fast. What other skank would want to be with jon? He’s got no balls..he’s not good looking even in the least ..it could only be for the money of which I bet he has little to NO control over so basically they would be getting skanky for nothing.
I can NOT stand these 2..this has got to be one of the biggest mistakes in the world of television.
Good for Jon! Maybe he’ll find a woman who will love him with all his faults like playing with his kids, cooking them a nice Korean dinner, helping one of the kids out with constipation…..oh sorry I forgot to mention his slightly thinning hair!
Kate wake the hell up before you wake up alone taking care of 8 kids yourself!
WOW. Yeah… because playing with kids is really hard . “Cooking them a nice Koren dinner” Sorry, no. Jon hates cooking… he said so himself. Actually, he’s said it on quite a few episodes. He said he “likes to use the microwave” and he never cooks. I hope Kate does get all 8 kids because all they are going to be eating if they were with him are wicrowave TV dinners. EW. That would be a very unhealthy group of kids. She goes away on her book tours and yeah, he feeds them but what is he feeding them? Nothing great, unless Kate has already prepared the meals , in which he will reheat in the oven. So no credit to him, sorry. There are quite a few episodes of him doing this when she was away. So…yeah not sure where you are going with this post.
Also- just because a guy cooks a meal once for his family he is god’s best creation? Umm no. Whoopdie fricken doo she cooks and prepares three meals all day everyday for 8 kids, and she’s been doing that for quite some time. Let him do it another 200 times and maybe it would be even. Please.
Yes, and he worked from 7:00 am to 7:pm and came home and bathed all the kids and helped out after working all day long!
Donna – Did you see Jon and his lawyer on Larry King Live last night? I wonder what is going to happen with that show? I just don’t know how Kate thinks it is a good idea to continue. She can write, host stuff, do her book tours, church tours, etc., and still make enough money to keep those kids in that house. I just feel so bad for them, so bad.
I am so sorry for those children. Believe me, I am willing to bet that Kate has plenty of money stashed away to be just fine. If she wanted to go out and do a few things for money, fine, but she has enough that the majority of her time can be spent with her children. I think she loves her kids but she is no more putting them first. She is a celebrity wanna be with no talent. Get back on track with your kids Kate.
Donna
Donna -I have a feeling Kate has a huge taste of celebrity and she can’t control herself. With Jon its the exact same thing. Sad that 8 kids are paying the price for it.
You guys … I am loving the new pictures on this post. I love when people like Bobbycat share niecely. I am anxius to see if TLC or KON will have a response to the Star Magazine article and all the buzz going along with it. I passed around that Star Magazine around my office today and everyone was SHOCKED at all the proof they had, eyewitness testimony, etc.
Ange, you are cracking me up with “Devil Bitch.”
Java Q- You HAVE to see the show!
BobbyCat – Again, thanks for sharing and caring.
Java J – Sometimes, the mistakes of TV producers become the biggest media hits of all. Look at ROL and the fame they’ve seen?
Audra – LOL … I think Kate will NEVER take care of those 8 kids alone … she needs her army to raise those kids.
You’re very welcome. Anything that I can do to help promote the downfall of KON I’m in!
Great post. I’ve been reading up on the posts on the Gosselins Without Pity blogsite. Their episode summaries are very unforgiving, and when they type out actual transcripts of KON’s show interviews/arguments it is undeniable that they hate each other. It hits your ears one way when you watch it on the show, but when you read it, word for word…. all the proof you need is right here.
As far as turning it off in your own home in hopes of driving down ratings…Nielsen ratings just don’t work like that unless you have a “set meter” attached to your TV. I’ve never met anyone who actually has a Nielsen set meter in their home or ever had one. Do you? I think the way they measure ratings is totally inaccurate and probably BS.
Jen 512 – My hubby had a Nielson here before we married. Except, all he did was just write down the shows he watched and mailed in his report. He did that for a few months. Cool, eh. I always chuckle when people say stop watching … because I KNOW that only the Nielson homes matter as far as ratings go. Plus, i learned all of that as a Telecom major.
I have very serious doubts that the upcoming season (btw, why do nthey even bother with calling them seasons when there is only i mo. b/w them?) is their last. Yes, it is all very sad for the children if they do divorce. BUT, I’m not sure that having their parents together in the same house is any better. Won’t I can’t stop thinking about is howe they have a taken a good thing and blown it all to hell. Him with his galavanting (not that I blame him) and her with all her diva shit. Now that I think about it though, maybe this is all a blessing in disguise. It will get the show off the air sooner and give those poor children some privacy and a shot at some kind if normalcy.
Thanks for all the info!! I love your blog and have forwarded it on to friends & family. The sooner we get all the facts out about KON, the sooner all this maddness will end.
Monica – Glad you like the blog & thanks of forwarding it on to friends and family. And, yes, I am glad to hear you think the kids need to start living a life of privacy. It must be hard having so many people in your house all the time. No rest, not even when you have the flu.
Haha, no way. Okay now I can say I know of someone who did it. I read about those “diaries” that people can submit to Nielsen…and you get a few bucks right? It just made me chuckle because I’m such a channel surfing nut that I could never keep track of what I watched, one hour would probably be 100 different things.
There’s just no way a Nielsen rating could be accurate…people are aware they’re part of a Nielsen sample so than can lead to biased reporting, and the sample is not random, which is the most important criteria of a statistical sample… Anyway enough of my ranting about statistical pseudoscience.
However, I read that Nielsen has already launched a revamping of it’s methodology–developing new ways to look in on you randomly via digital cable (DVR boxes) and TiVo.
Thanks but no thanks. There’s a war on privacy going on in this country but no one seems to be paying attention.
Back to KON:
Isn’t it in the Ten Commandments of Television–Thou shalt divorce thy spouse after thine relationship is exploited for national fame?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s in there somewhere.

You so funny GG.
I live in England so I’ve never heard of the show or the people but I have heard of Octopussy.
And Katie (Jordan) and Peter.
I feel bad for the guy. I’d have to drink heavily if I was married to her, dealing with all that…as if 8 kids isn’t enough to drive parents a little nutty! I don’t even want to think about the child support payments he will inevidbly be making if (when) they do get divorced! 8 kids + stay at home mom + standard of living they are used to = Jon will never sleep again!
I really enjoy the show and can understand the hardships of taking care of a large family. You give Kate a big injustist, and Jon way to much credit. I think all marriages go through rough times but if they both work at it they will make it. I pray for them and the kids. I feel it is a great show that does not hold back the true way a family lives in difficult times. So give them a break and wish them well. Hang in there and keep on loving each other.
dude, i can’t even believe i’m commenting about a show i’ve never watched 20 seconds of (nor a couple i give two shits about), but you are hilarious and i read every word of this post. it’s idiots like these douchebags that make me hate american tv!!! why are these two relevant anymore!?
Jonathan – You made my day. Seriously, I have no idea why these two are on tv, other than the fact that WE ARE STARVING FOR ENTERTAINMENT in this country.

I bet that they are already seperated but not legally seperated. Put on a good show to keep the money rolling in. And besides I can just hear the lazy, uneducated and slobby Kate fans out there if this marriage did end. “Oh, poor Kate” They would be crying for Kate and saying what a horrible time she will have being a single mom. Not that she is a mom now.
So their divorce could be positive for Kate too. Actually what if this was her way of getting public sympathy? Being a bitch to Jon so he does leave her worthless ass and then Kate does become America’s favorite bitch, I mean mom.
Just a thought.
The kids would be better with happy separate parents then two miserable parents.
Kate could pay Jon child support and maybe even get visitation, if she wanted it.
They are also in People and Us this week. The media train keeps rolling and rolling along.
“together for ever and ever”
HA! My ass.
Mother of 5, I’m sorry than you can actually think that KON + 8 is living through some “difficult times.”
The difficult times in my life have never included free trips around the country, a 1.3 million dollar house, nannies, housekeepers, and puppies.
What exactly is difficult about their lives?
What is this word??
–injustist,–
Let me guess, a Kate fan!!!
wat givs it awai??
**What exactly is difficult about their lives?**
THEY HAVE 8KIDS!!!
6 THE SAME AGE!!!!!
This gives them all the right to be total asswipes and pimp out the little-moneymakers for all they can squeeze from their innocent childhoods.
Jen 512 – We may have ahem wrote down shows we liked but did not watch from time to time. So, its not an accurate system. And I’ll just ditto your response to Mother of 5.
TV Snark – Really? I’ll have to look in those magazines, too. People who are miserable can get better, they just have to take the right steps in their life.
Saya – Exactly. Poor Kate, Jon was a manchild, he didn’t face up to his responsibilities, etc. Kate might just make more money because of this. Who knows, this could be another passive aggressive move from Jon towards Kate.
Writebrite – I hear you girl. But I don’t think he’s had a moments rest since the day he was married.
Pressi – thanks for the link.
A Jaye – I try, I try.
I feel bad. I didn’t know that their marriage was so bad. I have felt that she doesn’t get it when he feels emasculated just because she’s yelling at him so intensely in the Toys ‘r’ Us store that everyone within 50 yards is staring. Change the genders here and you’d have people advocating arrest and imprisonment for the abuse dynamic.
Hey. Why didn’t I figure these things out about my OWN marriage?! The trick is, how do you go back and address all of these issues?
You guys are so rude and judgmental. Yes, she’s naggy and shit but he HAS to have known that since they were dating. He’s laid back and she’s picky. They work together and to “predict divorce” is just plain nutty. Get a life.
Barz – If you watch the show, you may remember the video clips show of Kate and Jon before marriage, and then before twins. She seemed like a sweet girl, happy, always kissing him, etc. I am not dumb, I am aware that they had/have a lot of stress having those kids. But, no matter the REASON, they both are subject to JUDGMENT when they have a tv show. That’s the thing, when you put your life under a microscope, you are going to see EVERYTHING.
Rational – You know, all lot of people don’t realize how bad things are. Sometimes outsiders see the bad stuff. All I know is that I could NEVER take being yelled and belittled like that in my personal life, let alone on tv.
Something to keep in mind here people, is that one of the biggest reasons this show is so popular, is because its REAL!
Perhaps some of you would find it more entertaining or satisfying to watch Full House, Growing Pains, or another 30 min. TV show were you can feel better about not having to judge a “scripted” TV family.
Whether or not Jon & Kate are having problems, it is ridiculous to say that Kate’s temper or curt words is what, (if there is any truth to it) drove Jon into the arms of another. He’s a grown ass MAN, with the same right to choose as we all have.
Instead of further dissecting yet another hypothetical “affair”, I think a better topic to discuss is people’s assumption of their right to JUDGE others.
Some think that because they are in the spotlight, they are obligated by the public to conduct themselves as saints, not the real life people (with some human error) that we have all come to know. How unfortunate for them.
In closing I wanted to address one more topic, their children. People seem to chastise Jon & Kate for using their kids to financially better themselves. I find that outrageous, because I cannot think that it would be easy to welcome into your home, a camera crew and North America, to have your life, and how you choose to conduct it, scrutinized.
Wow – Well, we have a different value system and different opinion. I would not do what they are doing, and I’m expressing my opinion, here, on my own blog, and unlike others, I let argumentative and negative things toward me get put on there, because I think its fair, unlike many other bloggers.
Kate has said she doesn’t pay attention to what people say … so why are YOU paying attention? Many people search for info on the Gosselins and I know that is how you got here. You went a step further than most and actually commented on here because you were compelled to. You ask us on this post not to assume we have a “right” to judge – well, let me ask you this – What gives “YOU” a “RIGHT” to “Assume” we can’t say our assumptions here, on a blog? I thought the whole purpose of blogging is to talk about “stuff” and that is all we are doing. Writing what we say. This isn’t a blog dedicated to them, nor one with adds. Just a post about them. I write way more about health and other tv shows than I do them.
EVERYONE who puts themselves in the spotlight has the right to be judged, otherwise Tabloids like Star, and even People who are coming out with an article about KON wouldn’t have the “RIGHT” to write and photograph them.
Thanks for the blog TGFTG! I am a mother of two children who are 3 & 5 yrs. old. My daughter who is 5 has loved J&K+8 so I purchased Seasons 1 and then Seasons 2 & 3 for Christmas. I have to tell you, in the beginning I thought the show was o.k. Yes, Kate has her OCD and snappy attitude but she has turned into a super HAG!! I cannot believe the way she talks to her husband and constantly degradesh him on national television. My husband & I have been so appalled by her escalating, verbally abusive, condescending, self-rightous, DIVA attitude that we are no longer allowing our children to watch the show because we don’t want our children to think that is acceptable behavior. As for Jon, I think he is alright on the show and tries to keep the peace with Kate. I enjoy all of the children, expect for Maddie, who is just Kate’s “mini me” who needs her little butt spanked! Her behavior sends me over the edge and would not be tolerated in my home for 2 seconds! Kate just laughs and makes excuses for her being so rotten like saying “Maddie is our free spirited child”. Oh, is that what we are calling it these days? Please, that child needs some strong discipline, and I mean NOW! As a concerned mother, I have researched Jon & Kate in the recent days and all that I have learned has been both shocking and heartbreaking. I have learned about the Kate cutting ties with her parents after they gave so lovingly to J&K and kept the twins non-stop while she was pregnant with the tups. When people from her Dad’s church donated cribs for the tups, Kate threw one of her fits and complained that they didn’t all match! She has since cut ties with Kevin (her brother) and sweet Aunt Jodi because TLC wanted to pay Kevin & Jodi for camera crews inconveniencing them in their home. The same goes for Beth & Bob. Kate said that NO ONE would profit from her children except for she & Jon. It is not like the $$ TLC would have paid them would have come from Kon’s allowance. TLC knows how rotten Kate is and that is why they tried to keep the payment contract with Kevin & Jodi private with J & K having no knowledge of it. Kevin & Jodi didn’t feel right doing anything secretively so they tried to talk to Kate about it and that is when Kate cut them out of their lives. Just like that, they are cut out just like her parents. She was also angry that viewers had commented on how wonderful Jodi was with the children, especially while they were sick, sitting on the floor with them and rubbing their backs. A harsh difference from Kate who throws an old blanket & a bowl on the laundry room floor and walks out and leave them in there alone. Jodi’s sister Julie has a blog that she started because she was tired of Kate hurting her sister & Kevin while they just sat by & took what she dished out. When bloggers doubted Julie, Jodi even made a video which was posted on the blog, confirming what Julie had been reporting as the truth. They even went into detail about what is now known as “Gumgate” when Jodi gave the kids gum and Kate when nuts about it on the show. Apparently what viewers saw was just the tip of the iceburg on that one! Now onto sweet Beth! It is also now a well known fact that Beth actually wrote most of “Kate’s” new book Multiple Blessings and Kate didn’t want to give her any credit and only did so after being strongly directed to do so, so that she wouldn’t be sued. Beth was constantly keeping the kids and compensating for Kate with her new travels for her “business”. Kate refused for Beth to be paid any $$ by TLC just like the case with Aunt Jodi. Kate is a user and abuser and her greed is sickening! Has anyone noticed that Nana Janet is gone too! No contact with Jon’s Mom either. There is a sad pattern here and now no one remains except J&K & the kids. I am also sickened by the fact that they go from to church to church for a fee of $25,000 per appearance, and also pass plates requesting “love offerings” from the congregation, demanding only 1st class airfare and 5 star hotels, AND $1200 for body guard coverage while they are there. After the speeches, Jon sets up his little booth where he sells autographed pictures for $20 (cash only thank you!) and Kate works the book booth! In their church speech, they are still using the same old “we struggle to make it”, “we live on a stict budget as everyone knows I am a coupon clipping Mom” speech. I’ll tell you, as a Christian, it truly hurts my heart to know that they claim to be Christians but yet go straight into church after church, begging for “love offerings” opertaing their KON. The heads of these churches need to do their homework and stop inviting these two. The may end up in some trouble for constantly telling in their church speech how “Jon’s employer fired him while Kate was pregnant with the tups because he didn’t want to have to insure all of them!” How heartbreaking that someone would do that to them! Pitiful…right? Wrong, this man got tired of taking heat for this lie has now spoken out with the truth which is that Jon got fired for doing side jobs during hours that he was supposed to be doing his regular paid job! The real truth is that Jon could barely keep a job prior to the fame and while Kate was pregnant with the tups, he reportedly told several friends “I will never have to work again!” They go and sit in church after church telling lies about why Jon got fired and about their finances. They are now making $70,000 per episode X 40 episodes in Season 4 which totals $2,800,000.00. That does not include the $65,000 per episode they made for Season 3 or the $60,000 they made per episode for Season 2. That does not include all of the free clothing from Gymboree and the other companies that fork over the free stuff for product placement purposes. Out of 142 cable shows, they were ranked #8 for the worst about product placement. I have heard lots of people complain about the free trips and in all fairness, I dont’ have a problem with that so much. I am sure TLC is pushing this because honestly, how much can we stand to watch them in just their home environement. The trips add interest and a different setting. I do have a probelm with them riding this pity train and beggin for more $$ all the while Kate being hateful & hurtful to friends & family who truly love their children. I wonder what the children were told when they asked “Why can’t we go to Aunt Jodi’s house” or Maddie & Cara asking to play with Beth’s daughter who is supposed to be their best friend. Jon is supposedly living with his Mother now and only returning to their new mansion for 3 days each week to film. I hope that he has not been cheating, much less with college grils because that is terrible wrong. I am happy that he has reconciled his relationship with his mother who Kate probably 86ed out of their lives. The sad truth is, Kate is a narcssus and truly needs to recognize it. My sister is married to one too and has been told by 5 marriage counselors that she can either learn to live with his behavior or leave because he will never change. There is no cure. Kate is just exactly like him, only a female. This is a very sad, sad situation and I wish them the best in their marriage and pray for them and their children. As for my household, we are finished supporting this trainwreck.
Terri from Texas – My goodness, you had a lot to say. I have read everything you wrote and when I finished reading what you wrote, I remembered what bugs me the most about KON. Its the church offerings thing. If you make $70,000 for three days of filming, and film like 40 shows a year, then why do you need to charge $25,000 and then ask a plate to be passed around, and sell pictures for $20 at churches? Its just too much … greed. Be happy like the Duggars were back when people dumped bags of clothes on their back porch like Michele Duggar was when she only had 15 kids. By kid 17 they got invited to NYC and got a show. KON wanted too much, too soon. Two or three years of hard diaper changes KON could both basically quit working.
Plenty of people are simply mad because historically mothers have raised large numbers of children and struggled to make ends meet. People don’t like when someone gets too much and still expects everything. Its that simple. If the show is going to continue airing, my suggestion is that KON create their own charity and start doing A LOT of spending. Seriously, the public is sick of them just getting freebie after freebie, then going out and selling their image everywhere they can. Either take the money and run, or start helping others with it. Writing a check on a tv show or passing out copies of your book to patients at St. Jude’s isn’t cutting it. Sorry.
Anyone read US and People’s stories yet? People has Jon saying “I did not cheat on Kate.” If my husband kissed any other woman on the neck or mouth HE would get a metal pipe to the head. He will read this and laugh, knowing full well I mean it. YOU DON’T DISRESPECT YOUR SPOUSE BY KISSING SOMEONE ELSE. That sure sounds like cheating to me. Jon did state that “Kate’s career is taking off and I’m a bit lost.” Whoops … I thought this as just a tv show. When did it turn into a career. To quote Kate “Hello!”
Us has the more saucy article. A source close to them said “They have let it turn to money and fame” and yes, that was what I was thinking.
GFTG,
I must admit that I am not really a “blogger” and just found your site today while researching KON. I must say that I am glad I found you because I like your honesty about things and will keep in your loop in the future! As far as KON is concerned, I am not out to be vendictive but people need to know that J&K are not quality individuals. They are truly con artist and opportunist. I do have one question regarding the new $1.3 million Mansion on 24 acres of land. I have heard several different reports about how they acquired it. 1. I have heard that it was willed to them 2. that KON bought it on their own with all of their new $$ 3. that TLC bought it for them as part of their contract, due to security purposes and the need for a larger “set” for filming conveniences. Do you know the true answer? BTW, thanks for sharing the link to the inside / out view of the house. That was very interesting. It gives a clear picture of just how large this home / property is.
Here’s another vomitous interview with Queen Expert Kate:

Gosselin shares ‘some’ secrets of raising eight kids
Sat, March 14, 2009
The co-star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 will appear at the Women’s Lifestyle Show in London
Email Print Write Size: A A A Share:
By KATHY RUMLESKI, FREE PRESS REPORTER
Kate Gosselin, the best-selling author and star of the No. 1 show on TLC, Jon & Kate Plus 8, will make her first Canadian appearance in London on March 22.
The mother of sextuplets and twins is speaking at the Women’s Lifestyle Show at the London Convention Centre.
Her new book Eight Little Faces: A Mom’s Journey, is set for release in April.
Gosselin and her husband, Jon, and eight children are in their third season on the reality TV show, which shows the challenges and highlights of raising sextuplets and twins.
The sextuplets were born in May 2004 and the twins arrived in October 2000.
Gosselin’s first book, written with friend Beth Carson, called Multiple Blessings, is on the New York Times bestseller list.
Gosselin has said her books and speaking engagements allow her to share her faith.
Eight Little Faces includes photographs from the family album, Scripture passages and thoughts from Gosselin, in her own handwriting.
Gosselin recently responded to questions from The Free Press.
However, some of those questions, including why she said in her first book, “. . . it is exhausting to constantly feel like an exhibit at the local zoo,” yet continue to let cameras into the home, and what advice she has for Octomom, Nadya Suleman, were not answered.
Gosselin revealed she would like to be a talk-show host one day and that her grandmother was born in London.
Best-selling author and TV show host Kate Gosselin responds to questions from Free Press arts and entertainment reporter Kathy Rumleski.
How do you find the time to care for the children, write two books and film your television series?
It is my job. It is extremely crazy busy and sometimes I think I can’t handle it all, but I try to look at all of the positives. I can basically make my own schedule and I really like that. Every day is a challenge and I have become a scheduling miracle worker through it all! Also, I can’t forget to mention that Jon and our babysitter also make it possible for me to travel and work.
You once feared for the life of your babies, what is your biggest fear now that they are four years old?
Balancing each of their needs, all eight of my kids.
What is your biggest challenge each day?
Having enough time for everything that must get done!
How do you make ends meet, especially in these economic times?
We’re doing the same things we have always done: Clipping coupons; watching for sales; stocking up when things are on sale and planning meals (and other purchases) according to sale flyers.
Why did you want to write a second book?
The same reason I wanted to write a first book–for my kids! Also, I can’t describe how wonderful it feels to be an accomplished bestselling author. Who would have thought?
Why do you think your TV show has such wide appeal, with kids to grandmothers loving it?
We are still surprised by the major ratings and reactions. Some people see us as ‘inspiring’ while we feel like we are just parents doing what it takes to raise our uniquely made up family. Little kids watch to ‘make friends’ with our kids. Teens watch because they babysit and don’t have kids yet. Young married couples watch because they look to the future of their families. Young parents watch to get advice or see how we do things or even to remind themselves they ‘have it easy.’ Older parents watch to reminisce, as do grandparents…..and so on…….
What are your plans for the future in terms of your public life? Will we see more books, more TV shows, more marketing of your family?
I know one thing for sure; I am never sure what the future holds for us! However, I am enjoying doing TV in all capacities that I have had the privilege of doing and my dream is that there is a future talk show waiting for me!
Are you looking forward to your first Canadian appearance and why did you choose to make it in London?
I AM looking forward to my first Canadian appearance. I happen to know that we have A LOT of fans in Canada so it should be extra exciting! By the way, I just learned that my grandma was born in London, Ontario, Canada so it will be extra special for me to visit.
Why did you choose to get two dogs in an already busy house? And how is the new home?
We chose two dogs because we never do things in ‘ones’ and I guess my family caught me on a weak day.

Kate now wants to have her own talk-show. After all, she is now an “accomplished author,” just ask her!
TVSnark – OMG, a talk show for Kate Gosselin? I wonder if Oprah is doing talks with her about this.
haha this is funny now remember when jon visited penn state? lol you should ask some of the kids here what he did afterwards lol i doubt its true but after seeing these picture i could only imagine he stopped at a few of the bars here for a quick funnel and keg stand lmao
Excellent blog. My concern is the damage KON has done to those children.
LOL! I would only watch Kate’s show if looked like it already does in my head….a “cheery” yellow back drop, the seating is all those white plastic lawn chairs she loves so well. She sits on stage the whole time, too lazy to interview anyone that requires standing. Her personal chief can give organic cooking demos, her nanny can dispense child rearing advice, and her house keeper can give the audience those great Gosselin “organizing” tips.
Martha better watch out, before Kate swipes her homemaking throne.
Wow. I’ve only watched like one episode of the show but a few of my friends keep me updated. I think it’s ridiculous. It’d probably be better for all parties involved if the show ended and they got divorced!
Don’t you people have better things to do instead of picking on this family. You realise what will happen if the kids happen to read this. You should be ashamed of yourselfs. Go find something productive to do!
GG……Haven’t been here for a while. I’m so glad that I dropped in to read all of this juicy info. I don’t watch their show but who really has to watch it to know who they are? Kate has shown up on so many talk/news shows spouting her expertise in the case of Octopussy. This just goes to show that anybody with enough balls to push and promote themselves can be a reality television star.
Now…gonna run and read your post on the Brett (nice face lift) Michael’s Skank O’ Puss bus.
You never cease to entertain and inform. You still rock it with the best!
to be honest I feel like everyones forgetting about the EIGHT KIDS here..
the twins are already pretty screwed up.. you can tell…
but what about the babies?? They shouldn’t be in that enviroment at all.. theyre going to end up as bad as their parents… ignorant greedy stuck up alcoholics.
Mary – Don’t you have anything better to do than surf the internet for Jon and Kate stories? BTW, I love that you think kids their age surf the internet alone.
TPB – I try, I try!
Sparklesxo – I really don’t think any of the Gosselin’s are alcoholics, come on, that is CRAZY!
If the kids ever do read all the things on the internet written about their family, I hope they realize that there are strangers out there that cared more about their health and well-being that their parents did. There’s a small army out there fighting everyday for those children’s rights.
Here’s a copy of the ad for the house they moved into in Wernersville PA.

Here’s an ariel view.
http://bunnywithfangs.com/2009/01/jon-kate-plus-8-controversy/
I love your blog! I’m a Kate hater. Check out my first attempt at blogging: http://myrealityobsession.blogspot.com/
It bothers me when Kate talks about we only eat organic foods yet you see them eating hotdogs on the 4th of July, and eating out at a buffet. She finds out that Jodi is giving the kids candy and asks was it organic suckers? I can see her getting a little upset at her for giving the kids gum, but this woman was watching 7 of Kates kids plus her own, and Kate jumped all over her. I felt for Collin when she said she was going to throw away his blanket because she couldn’t put it in the washer anymore. Did anyone notice how Mady was trying to comfort him when he was crying? She needs to not be so uptight when they go shopping. It seems like Jon is trying to be a normal dad with the kids. Like at toysrus when he was playing with them and Kate totally embarrassing him by talking to him like a dog. She’s going to loose all her friends and family if she doesn’t stop being so overbearing.
I am an avid watcher of Jon & Kate plus 8. I love the show and I am amazed at all that they are able to accomplish with the kids. Kate is an intelligent woman and yes TLC wanted to do they show and they make a very nice profit. Why shouldn’t the Goesslin’s do the same, this will create a nest egg for the children. These children are fed well, recreational trips are carefully planned, their medical needs are all being met and she loves all of her children. All of you who are name calling and attacking Kate are ridiculous. You speak as if you had first hand knowledge of their lives and their motives. Shame on you for being so vicious. Thiose of you who are so quick to say DIVORCE could care less about the needs of the children. They need both parent’s and like they say “we are in this together and it’s our life.” I wish Kate and family all the best and I pray that the rumors about divorce are false. They are a beautiful family that has truly been blessed by God. People quit your cruelty and focus on your own life and make it better.
Some of you people have problems. It’s a little unhealthy to be so passionate over other people’s [possible] misery and especially to create outrageous scenarios over a speculated divorce. I like the show and watch it occasionally. I think Kate is over-the-top at times but she’s a good mom and her kids love her. Criticism is fine but you guys have taken it to a whole new level. Maybe you need to stop watching other people’s lives and live your own.
Also, I found the blog b/c I heard a rumor about Jon’s partying and all I find are a couple amateur blogs. If there’s really a story there, wouldn’t we hear about it from people who do this stuff professionally.
OMG!
I’m watching this weeks episode. Jon and Cara go on a vacation alone together to Utah…haha.
But the OMG moment came when I saw the teaser for the next episode and season finale…they’re hinting at marriage problems. They showed old clips of them fighting and new ones of “coupongate” and the voice over is saying something like, “It’s been building for a long time…” and then Jon on the couch saying “It’s just not right”
WTF, did anyone else see this?
My guess is they’re going to marriage counseling…only because I’m sure there’s more seasons of this misery.
This is such a nasty blog. This is someone’s marriage and there are 8 children involved for crying out loud.
Those pictures look like Jon got a little drunk and a bunch of fans wanted to take photos. By the way, you believe what STAR magazine has to say?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Wow, how can you say any of this crap about them? If they are getting a divorce fine, let it be. But you have no right to go around bashing them. You can’t even imagine the stress of raising 8 kids. I’d like to see you try to do that without having problems in a relationship.
And for your information, their dogs WERE NOT free. They very obviously showed her paying for them on that episode and all of the proceeds went to kids with cancer. Who are you to talk so much crap about someone you don’t know? Oh, and as for the picture where you said she’s holding Jon like a possession. The photographer probably POSED THEM. Most of the time when you get professional photos done like that they do. And Kate is very thankful that everything that is given or done for her for free. She is constantly talking about how much she appreciates it. And besides, the people are using her for free advertisement so it’s not like she’s being greedy, they’re practically drooling at the chance to give it to her. How could you possibly sit there and scrutinize their lives when I’m sure a lot of you would do the same thing if you were in their position. You have no idea what the life must be like and therefore no right to talk about them like that. Honestly.
Emily – I know plenty of divorced religious people. Divorce or separations happens to 2/3 of all marriages.
Nikki – Way to get yourself worked up. What, you haven’t read the 2,000 other blog posts or opened up In Touch, Star, of People magazine this week? I’m just talking about what EVERYONE else is talking about, too. Hell, even Perez Hilton is talking about them. I like how your email includes kuku, because that is exactly what you are if you believe everything you see on a reality tv. Just like when Brigit Neilsen and Flav a Flav were in love. I like how you go on and on about Kate here, but ignore the fact that Jon was out KISSING YOUNG WOMAN. Great way to dodge a bullet by going after me instead. Asswipe.
Liz – Wow, thanks. I love hearing my blog is nasty, at least you are original! Actually, I’m choosing to believe the twenty of so people who were there when Jon kissed YOUNG GIRLS. Especially the two BRAVE ENOUGH to give their entire names. BTW, have you noticed the preview for next week’s episode. Its going to show something VERY INTERESTING. Come back next week and talk to me then.
Jen 512 – Yep, my guess is that Jon took the offer for the free Utah vacation to get his ass away from Kate. you can see from the episode that this was the beginning of January. Also, someone on one of these KON blogs posted that she saw Kate & kids with an asain nanny at Seasame Street Live, back in January. Plus the dogs were little again.
Stephanie – See Perez Hilton, he’s a professional blogger. See People Magazine, Star Magazine, In Touch Magazine, and Us Weekly. See Philly Magazine, and go read what’s out there. Why would college girls give their full names in tabloid magazines unless it was true. And my writing about it is no more unhealthier than you “reading about it.” Also, I am living my won life. Read my blog, see what I do. I don’t have a blog titled Gosselin’s Without Pity. I’ve written a few posts about them out of the 320 or so posts I’ve written. Of the ALMOST 1,000,000 hits I have not even 10% comes from KON. Do your research before you call this blog amateur or leave dumb comments like “I heard a rumor.” Its everywhere, and its been verified by the big guns.
Josey – Of course Kate and Jon love their kids, and yes they are a cute family. I have watched them since the first special, so I know the evolution of the show as best as anyone else who was/is a huge fan. I just don’t understand why I see so many people just hate on and dump on Octomom, who was unemployed just like Kate and Jon were. Why do people hate her, and not KON for having so many kids that they couldn’t afford? Just because she is single? Kate when to court against the STATE of PA and you can look that up in their local newspapers, and see that she argued that it was impossible for her to take care of so many babies without a provided nurse after their first year was up. Why was that ok for the Gosselin’s, but not Octomom? If someone rational like your self could answer that question for me I’d really appreciate it. Why are people talking about taking away her kids?
Holly – You bring up excellent points. Anyone who is in blind love with Kate wanna defend your girl to Holly?
HI, my name is Emily, I just wanted to say, the Gosselins are very strong Christians, they would never do that with 8 kids!
Christians get divorced too, Emily. Especially when there’s abuse going on. (Kate towards Jon)
Oh my, so many sheeple . . . . hope they don’t bump into each other.
For the kids sake, I don’t want to see them divorced. I just want them to stop pimping out their kids and get some couple and/or family therapy. I also want them to get “real” jobs.
I should have added that if the marriage is unrepairable, they need to split for the mental health of their family.
“For a long time now, this show has been all about Kate Gosselin and the free stuff she thinks she is entitled to get. ” Have you actually SEEN the show? It’s about the kids, CONSTANTLY, that is ALL they talk about. “Its obvious to that neither one of them spend quality time together … its all about the fame rather than the family or each other.” Yes it’s OBVIOUS, the 30 min. episodes tell us exactly how much quality John and Kate get. How can you question a familys love that you don’t even know? Maybe John and Kate will split, but they love their kids 4 SURE!! “Obviously she is aware that neither of them are happy and they are just going through the motions. Look at her body language. She is holding on to Jon as if he was a possession, not as a husband who she loves. In my opinion these smiles are fakes.” You’re reaching now and you are a stupid ass.
I hope they can work it out. If not I bet you Kate gets a show all on her own “Single mom of 8″ or something like that.
DAMN people, way to sound happy these kids are going to be from a broken home. YaY! Have a fucking heart.
As Jon himself said in MANY episodes on JaKP8, Kate is the same as she was when they got together but hey, I don’t know because I wasn’t there and neither were any of you.
Props to them for providing for their kids and their 8 don’t seem to mind the new house, dogs, trips and toys they get because of the show and they surely wouldn’t have without it.
My guess, Jon has went into an early mid-life crisis because he is physically and emotionally living beyond his age with raising 8 kids and a wife that is a bully. Jon is no picnic either, I have watched the show from the beginning and Jon is childish, whiney, sometimes irresponsible but both Jon and Kate evened it out nicely.
It is obvious to anyone watching the show that they are not perfect but is anyone?
It is also obvious while watching the show that they have come a long way financially and I think they would rather be with their kids, why wouldn’t they, but maybe they want to earn money to leave EIGHT kids when they pass and give them a big enough house to grow in. Did people expect them to live in the 3 bedroom house forever, it isn’t practical. How could they afford to get a house to grow in while working 15+ hours a day it would take to earn an income to pay for their kids living expenses and NEVER have the money to take them anywhere or buy anything.
It is easy to sit there behind your computer and bitch about how other people are living their lives but if you were in their situation I bet a lot of you would STFU.
Maybe the reason for their divorce is because jealous little assholes that think they are parents of the week sit online and talk shit about them on messages boards. Yea, I know they asked for this because it is a reality show they signed up for but damn, Britney Spears didn’t get this much heat and she is like, worst mother of the decade.
Also, if they work their shit out good, if not they must feel it is for the best. It isn’t like they WANT their kids to be shuttled back and fourth between parents and come from a broken home. Damn, you people suck sweaty ass.
Blue – Thank you for telling me I’m a stupid ass rather than telling me I am just jealous like most of the morons on here. I love how you are the one looking up Kate Gosslin gossip and tell me off on my own blog, even though you don’t have your own blog. Annonymous hate comments really must thrill you. And, if you pay attention to the little details on the show, read newspapers and magazines or even turn on your tv on to TLC, Oprah, etc. you will see that Kate is traveling all over the US and even Canada (Next week) to promote their second book. No need to read it in a random blog. So, let me help you here … if Kate is in Canada and Jon is out drinking … where is their quality time? Let me ask you this – How can YOU question a bloggers thoughts and feelings … you don’t know me, nor do you know if I know them in real life or know people who know them in real life.
ME – Your comments were all over the place, a bit weird if you will. I’m not sure how to respond to you other than – No, I am not rooting for their divorce, No, I did not cause their marriage to break up just because I wrote my opinion in a post about them, and No, I am not jealous of them. Yes, no one wants to shuttle kids back and forth between homes, its rough on everytone. Yes Jon is no picnic either, and Yes, the Gosselin’s and no one else in the entire world are not perfect.
You guys do realize that by reading what I write and repeatedly commenting negativly about me doesn’t bother me. It just makes you look stupid and makes many people including me chuckle.
Damn, Girl!! Congratulatory hugs your way for hitting the 1,000,000 mark (and then some)!!
You rock!!
Seriously, to all of you that read this blog and then seemingly TRY to tell the AUTHOR of this blog off really does show your ignorance & lack of common sense. Two reasons I feel so strongly about this is: #1-from the first paragraph it is obvious this is not a site for fans of KON. If you don’t want to hear/see it, don’t read it! It has absolutely nothing to do with you and everything to do with the fact that this is ghettogirls blog and therefore her venue to write anything and everything she wishes. Besides, like she said, you have to know that all your bitching at her just makes her laugh. And please, if your going to bitch about something that she did write, at least be correct about what it is she is saying. Don’t put your own spin on it and don’t put words in her mouth. It doesn’t take a phd to realize that this blog is based on reasearch. Not just some physcho with no life who likes to make things up about people and then condemn them. #2-Anyone who had even an ounce of common sense can see that this whole situation these children have been put in, by their parents, is not right. Yes, they might of had a good thing going in the beginning, but that is so very clearly no longer the case. They just took it too far. At first the show was about their lifestyle and it was interesting, ect. But now the show IS their lifestyle. Even if they were the happiest couple on earth, it is wrong to bring up children in the way these children have. I don’t see how that can be debated by anyone with basic common sense, even non-parents. As KON themselves have said repeatedly, ‘the cameras and this show is all they know.’ HELLO!?!? Think about that. IT’S ALL THEY KNOW! These children are being raised thinking everyone has a camera shoved up their ass for the whole world to see. The sad thing is, thats the very least of their problems. This whole circus needs to end before their family is destroyed along with any hope at a normal life.
For those of you who do think that KON are just getting a bad rap from jealous people who only want to have something to bitch about, that the children are fine and the show has only had positive outcomes for them and their futures-are you really being honest with yourself?
Maybe the reason for their divorce is because jealous little assholes that think they are parents of the week sit online and talk shit about them on messages boards.
Obviously their marriage was never strong if bloggers are the reason for a split.
Everyone seems to want to bash Kate…come on. She has to demand help from Jon all the time. If anyone has been a stay-at-home mom….it is a FULLTIME job. And you never get a day off.
Just because Kate travels and speaks she is being criticized…someone in this family has to do something to generate income.
It has been obvious for some time that Jon wants to stay a “guy” and go out partying while Kate is left to take care of the children. He needs to “Man Up”…suck it up, be a man, a husband and a father.
They both need to be nice to each other. It is insane how rude they are toward one another.
are you saying that getting $70,000.00 per episode and filming 40 episodes in one season which is a total of $2,800,000.00 that they still need to generate more money? Why is that because they might have to one day actaully be required to support their children themselves? Mommy Dearset needs to have her butt at home taking care of her children and not worry about her “public’ because more and more people could care less about her and her lies and the poor poor pittiful me attitude
If anyone disagrees with Ghetto Girl or anyone else posting her, please present a clear argument. Don’t resort to name calling. I don’t know Ghetto Girl personally, but I am sure she welcomes a good debate. Give us some evidence laid out an a clear manner and I’m sure any of us will be happy to change our minds.
Bobbycat – I know, its so crazy … thank you!
Monica – Your comment was so amazing I’m sending you a great big hug and kiss. That was so well put. Thank you!
TvSnark – Also, well put. I’m loving all the good sensible debating going on here tonight.
CBGrace – Kate had a job, a well paying job (Or, at least many nurses are well paid) that helped pay the bills. I agree they are rude to each other … they may not even realize it, but the thing is, people like myself who have watched them on tv for years see all the things they may never see. Yes, Jon wants to be a guy … he never had a chance to. They rushed into having kids. But Kate wants to sleep in, go to spas, shopping, etc. She is no perfect person either. And she has a hard time trying new things. I wanted to deck her when she wouldn’t go into the water on their snorkling trip in Hawaii. Then she did, and she loved it. I just want this family to have a chance to survive. Being on tv your WHOLE life has to be hard. Can someone explain to me rationaly why all those tv child stars are messed up. Little Jodie Sweetin with her Crystal Meth habit … dear lord!
Sally- Exactly. I have never thought it was wrong that they took the college educations, trips, gifts, hell, even doing the show in the first place. I just think its time to get out, while they have some cash saved, and the kids can have a chance to be normal.
Sometimes I get sucked into watching this show because the kids are so cute–but I can’t stand the way that Kate treats Jon. I understand that she is tired and stressed out–but she puts down almost everything he does. This past weekend I saw her yell at him for putting the kids in the car too soon, not dressing them in the right clothes–though they looked fine to me, and go upstairs while he was painting that room and putting beds together and jsut plain freaking out at him over and over–I can’t even imagine what happens when the cameras aren’t there. She is also a control freak, but a very disorganized control freak. If my husband treated me hte way that Kate treats Jon, I would be out of there in a minute.
Kashed – I have a no yelling rule that my husband abides to. i don’t care for yelling at all. It traumatizes me.
Jon is no picnic either, I have watched the show from the beginning and Jon is childish, whiny, sometimes irresponsible but both Jon and Kate evened it out nicely.
I’ve got to say that is total BS. You only think he’s that way because KATE is constantly calling him childish, whiny, and irresponsible. Seriously, name me one occasion when he was not doing what he was supposed to.
I remember when Kate said he was being childish and “playing with the toys” during the infamous Toys’R'Us episode. I watched that episode the other day, and he was simply doing what she asked him to do and was distracting the kids. He just couldn’t hear her because 1. It’s a big store, and 2. he was watching all the kids…maybe he was distracted? I’m oblivious to the rest of the world with only 2 kids. But she still insists later in the interview that he was being childish…blah, blah, blame Jon.
Another example I can name was in the “Soup” episode, Jon is playing playdough with the kids outside and pretending to make it come out of his nose, much to all the kids’ delight. She just berates him later on the interview couch and calls him “childish” again! Hel-LO, playing with your children, isn’t childish, is actually a responsible, adult thing to do.
And irresponsible? More BS. If you’re really a fan of the show, than you will KNOW that it is Jon who always got the kids up, changed, dressed, and fed each morning while Kate slept in. Now that super mom is traveling all over the country, who do you think is alone at home with the kids all the time, doing the real child rearing? They make enough money from the show, she doesn’t need to leave every single week to promote her book or herself. It’s not necessary for her to be away from her children so much, she chooses to do that.
How is Jon the irresponsible one? Tell me. The shows I’ve watched since they moved, she’s gone so much you only see her on the couch for interviews. Every time Jon talks about what the kids are up to, it’s all news to her. That’s sad.
Jen 512 – Another thing about Jon … he bathes all of the kids. Can someone tell me what Kate does besides laundry and run a sponge across the counter tops?
Jen512,
Ya know, EVERY time I’ve asked for someone to explain exactly WHAT organizational tips they’ve gleaned from bitchface, no one ever replies. How curious.
Okay yeah I agree, they’re marriage probably isn’t perfect and the show isn’t 100% real. But, let’s remeber they have 8 children. Jon and Kate are doing their best to raise all of them and put food on the table. Why do we all have to put everyone down? It’s a little much when you start attacking a family. Who cares if Jon went drinking, if he bathes the kids, or if Kate hasn’t been shown that much this season? If she was, everyone would be complaining how she doesn’t do anything. The reason they don’t show Kate doing anything more than “laundry and running a sponge across counter tops” is because everyone would complain about it. After a long day, who wants to sit down and watch someone do everything you’ve just done? No matter what they do, no one is happy.
The part that upsets me is how we can all sit here and talk smack about Jon and Kate. Whatever, do it among yourselves, but don’t bring the world into it. They have 8 children who have to deal with it. So when you push “submit” after you wrote a long story about how mean Kate is, what exactly have you done? It’s not like Kate cares what you think of her. But, her kids might. I would be furious if I googled my name and all I found were nasty thoughts of other people. you have no clue what Jon and Kate’s lifes are truly like. Who are you to judge them? And what if you googled your parents’ names and all you read was how your dad’s cheating on your mom and how your parents do noting but complain and ask for things?
No one is perfect. I’m not, your not. So let’s leave the Gosselin family alone.
Here’s a thought. If you don’t like Jon and Kate and you believe they’re fakes, STOP WATCHING and get on with your life.
You try raising twins and sextuplets on TV and see how much the world talks about you.
Why dont you ask Michelle Duggar, or Becky Dilley how they manage to raise their large family without all the drama and nastiness that comes from Kate? Having 8 kids, does not give one a licence to be a total raving bitch to EVERYONE! Wake up moron!
Joanne – Really! i saw a show on Discovery Heath, a family who adopted/fostered 20+ kids, all with special needs. Plus they have their own kids. No one yelled that entire special. And all of the kids worked hard. they had their blind daughter giving littlier kids baths and doing laundry. It was AMAZING, and Kate might want to watch that program to understand how hard life could be for her, and that she is lucky to have 8 kids without major health issues!
no one knows what goes on between two people unless you’re one of them. why all the focus on poor jon, divorce, and disaster?! If they can make a small fortune from their show, who cares. If people didn’t watch it, it would not exist.
Only a miserable people would wish parents of 8 children to crash and burn. it’s pathetic.
I have seen the show a few times and find Kate overbearing and bossy. So I stopped watching it. Simple!
Jae,
We are merely entertaining ourselves with this blog. If you don’t like what we have to say then get steppin’. We are not judging, but merely stating the obivious facts. KON chose to put theirselves out there for the World to see. They have to take the good with the bad. They have no problem taking the good. Therefore they can learn to deal with the bad! If the kids see negative stuff about their family they have no one to blame, but their parents! That my dear is life in the public spotlight!!!
Jae,
It is not our responsibility to make sure the kids don’t find negative things on the internet. THEIR PARENTS have caused this and it is THEIR PARENTS fault.
“There’s a a place for us…”
Now I don’t feel so bad for watching the occasional episode, and making full use of my mute button.
Jae, I would LOVE to see Kate do more around the house, that would make her more relatable. If the show was really about how hard she worked, instead of the freebies and free help they get, I think we’d all love her. The show doesn’t leave that stuff out because they think it would be “boring,” it’s not in the show because she’s not doing it. They don’t show meals being prepared because she’s not the one doing it, they don’t show the children getting ready because a nanny is getting them ready. Anytime we see the kids these days is when they’re finishing up a meal, playing with Jon or playing with those dogs. I think it would be fascinating to see her actually interact with her children on their level. Like, get down on the floor and play with them, or go for a walk with them on their property. She never leaves that house unless she’s on her way to the airport…it’s so obvious.
She is a mom, and she doesn’t act like one. All I ever see her do is dole out snacks. That is not the only things that children need!
I’m not jealous of K or J.
I’m jealous of G G. She’s ballsy and has managed to get a bazillion people to comment on her blog. I would poke out my right eye to get this kind of action and debate on my blog.
Go, GG! Go!!!!!
One more thing…..
I use to work for a doctor and Kate reminds me soooo much of his wife. She thought her motherly duty was to throw a snack pack of trail mix at them once in a while.
She and the doc are no longer married.
Kate needs to wake up and realize that there is much more to mothering than what she does.
TPB – thank you my friend, thank you! And I like your story of the woman who reminds you of Kate. Very interesting.
TV Snark – Hell ya you are so right.
Cee – You quit watching the show, but you still surf the net for gossip on it? How bizarre? Why?
Jae – I have no problem with Jon drinking or even getting hammered. Good for him. What I have a problem with is people telling me how to think. How dare YOU come here, repeatedly, and tell me WHAT I THINK IS WRONG? I am really tired of living in a world where people tell me I’m not allowed (Or shouldn’t) share my thoughts. I hope you can understand where I’m coming from. I’m not trying to hurt your or anyone’s feelings, I’m just saying something that I NEED to say. I can’t stand living in a politically correct world. This is not PC. If you want PC then get your ass to Gosselin’s Without Pity.
COME ON YOU GUYS!
Jon is not on house arrest! He went out and some fans asked for photos with him! If the ladies were 90 years old- it wouldn’t matter.
I say it’s RATINGS, RATINGS, RATINGS!!! Us suckers out in TV land are losing interest in the kids, so now with all the posts of how she treats Jon, it’s turned into how can we cause a scandal to keep people watching! OH the big season finale- we’re having problems! So tune in next season so we can keep the rating up and stay on TV. We LOVE the money and all the free perks!
So pathetic. I encourage everyone out there to stop being so dumb and naive!
PS: And a big one at that!
Star magazine is in it for the money- well DUH?!
These girls in the photo get the picture and sell it to STAR for—the MONEY! Everyone is in for the money.
How dumb do you have to be not to see an opportunity for STAR to sell a ton of magazines to a bunch of idiots who don’t mind buying a bunch of trash???
kate is a fucking bitch!
jon deserves a better life, she treats him like garbage!
that woman deserves everything bad that comes her way. totally deserves it!
I can’t watch the show anymore. Watching a wife immaculate her husband like that makes me cringe. If a man treated his wife like that all hell would break loose in the polls of public opinion.
Can you blame him? I’m with Paula…emasculating ones man is not cool.
And the “she has 8 kids excuse?” That’s BS. My grandmother had 8 kids in a 3 bedroom house and one bathroom with no help from nobody. No, she didnt have them all at once but still….
Sandy – Since they are Christians I really don’t think Jon went out on purpose and now they are allowing the show to turn in into a ratings booster. I think Jon was spending some time at his moms for a break from Kate since she has been traveling. He went out, got drunk, and probably kissed on a few girls because he was drunk like many drunk people do and he was just having fun. He’s only 31 or so. And people at the bars mayhave taken advantage of the situation. Or maybe not, maybe they were just shocked to see him out and called the tabloids. Remember, this was reported locally in the school papers first about a full month before the tabloids knew about it. Star’s goal “As a business” of course would be to sell magazines. And Kon has become very “newsworthy” lately. You never know, maybe a staffer of the mag has friends/family from PA. And it stumbled into their lap. I have people email me tips and pictures here all the time myself.
Jem – I personally don’t wish KON or anyone/everyone in this family bad luck. I don’t hate them at all.
Paula – Did you mean emasculate? Lol, I’d do something like that myself.
Sistasmiff – Like I’ve said many times … knew a family with 15 kids … they paid for all of their kids colleges without any help.
jon and kate should not get a divorce . what would happen to you show !?!?!? what about your kids !?!? if a show were to replace you nobody would watch it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
A very wise family member once told me that marriage is never a 50/50 proposition. Some days its 70/30 and some days its 20/80. In the end it all evens out. Having been married for over 15 years with 3 kids and 2 stepkids…..I look back on that as the wisest thing anyone has ever told me. Were there days when I wanted to say f$&# it and leave? Absolutely. Were there days when my husband wanted to do the same? You bet. Do I sound like Kate some days? Absolutely. Does my husband act like Jon? Well, no, he’d rather just battle it out with me than to bow down. But it works for us. Add in a crazy ex-wife who still tries to push her ex’s buttons….heck – I should have a TLC show – “How not to kill anyone in your life”!!!!!
Maybe they are going thru a bad time. If so, I hope they make it out ok. But if it truly is really bad….don’t make the kids suffer. Get divorced, stay on friendly terms even if you hate each other, and pray for the day the last little inkling turns 18 and you don’t have to speak to each other ever again.
Huh?
Is the show more important than their marriage?
Have I been punked???
You guys are ass holes, jealous much? Get a real job.
Wow!! I would like to see anyone with 8 children all around the same age, have television people in their homes all the time, not fight.. Seriously anyone who is married knows that it is difficult enough but throw a whole television crew in there, lets see how long you handle it.. And for the comments of pimping out their children, I would do the same thing in order to give my children a wonderful life, save for college and be able to have a spouse stay home to raise that family.. Please calling people names and speculating what their marriage and life are like when you are not them and have no idea what it is like to be them… Glade you don’t come and look into my life and my marriage because I wonder what you would say about me… Lesson for a lot to learn is not to throw stones when you live in a glass house!
Sierra – What?
mom of 3 – I agree marriage isn’t always even. But, I see Jon dress and bath kids always, load them in the car, carry the heavy stuff, and I see Kate complaining and directing a whole lot. sure, this could be due to editing, but then I want you to remember the episode when Mady said Daddy was cleaning out the garage and mommy is telling him what to do?
TV Snark – Ha ha ha … what was that?
**** – You can’t even make up a fake name? How lame.
Jodi – I don’t live in a glass house. I am not on tv, therefore I can throw my stones. If a show like J&K shows them fighting all the time and the kids are misbehaving, how is that a wonderful life? Money don’t buy happiness as the famous quote has said …. and this is why you sympathize with Kate, because you probably act just like her.
OH WOW!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE BEING KIND OF……RUDE! YES KATE IS VERY BOSSY AND NEEDS TO WORK ON THAT! LETS FACE IT THE WOMAN NEEDS THEREPY! HOWEVER, WHEN IS IT EVER OK FOR A SOMEONE TO CHEAT AND EMBARRESS SOMEONE! NEVER!!!!! NO MATTER HOW MEAN KATE IS TO HIM IT IS STILL AN AWFUL, AWFUL THING TO PUT SOMEONE THROUGH!
Jen – I agree that its not nice to cheat on someone. Jon says he didn’t in People Magazine … and I wonder if its going to get addressed in tonight’s episode.
I wouldn’t be holding your breath waiting for some huge ‘revelation’. Doubt it’ll be much of anything at all certainly not a ‘cut & dried’ statement of ‘I’ve been busy barhopping and beer ponging with the coeds while my wife is tending to her ‘career” (gag) …we shall see, in a few short minutes though.
I am laughing because the first thing Jon said was that he was at his mom’s house … and that her foot was broken, just like he said in this week’s People magazine. Oh dear lord.
And, the fact that the help isn’t a nanny … and that “she” doesn’t want to be on the show .. and Kate said “For whatever” …. meaning TLC wouldn’t have to pay her if she was filmed.
Looks like Jon wants out of the show and Kate doesn’t. She has the “perfect job.” It seems that she is enthrall, as we suspect, with being a celebrity.
Wow, you guys are pretty pathetic. First of all, if you’re griping about the show getting so much publicity, STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. Now I know everyone that watches the show connects with them and, like any other reality show stars, we like to think that we know pretty much everything about them. HOWEVER, I was not there, you were not there, and I don’t believe anyone’s opinions on the affair rumors matter unless they were involved. It is pathetic and immature to judge their marriage, sex life, and parenting when we have only seen bits and pieces of it through the television. Every single marriage has its ups and downs and the flirty lovey relationship they once had is obviously going to change into a more mature, serious relationship with marriage. All you guys are doing is making their lives a little bit harder. Also, don’t act like you wouldn’t take the same opportunities that they are given. They love spending time with their children and they want them to have full, happy lives. If you immature people can’t see this, it is obvious that you have a little bit of growing up left to do. I’m nineteen and I can see that. I’m praying for their family and I hope you guys can realize your obsession with other peoples’ drama is way out of hand.
Direct tonight’s episode comments here please.
http://thegirlfromtheghetto.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/is-kate-gosselin-trying-to-get-her-own-talk-show/
Ri – You don’t consider it a little pathetic telling me what to do, even though we never met? And you don’t consider it pathetic that you are 19 years old, and instead of being out and having fun, you are searching the internet for Kate Gosselin gossip? When I was 19 I was either studying for class or out having a blast in E. Lansing bars dancing my butt off. Your obsession with our conversation is what disturbes me. I pray for you to get some fun in your life and fast.
Sally – Damn right Kate loves being a celebrity.
for such a christian person she sure is extremelly greedy, also if the money that they make is actually the childrens shouldn’t it go into a trustfund for them since they will need it once they turn 18 all 8 of them, that would include the million dollar house, just sayin it should be in their names or have a clause in it since their privacy has all been sold for profit
also a lot of ignorant people keep on saying that jon cant divorce her becuase of all the child support he will have to pay- but that is not so remember ppl use your brain he only has to pay according to what he makes, if he makes nothing meaning has no job then he has to give very little or nothing at all, the person that is earning the most always pays the most in child support and alimony, ahh do people use their brains anymore including you blog owner??
And your life is that much more exciting sitting at a computer talking about other people’s relationships and planning dates for divorces of celebrities whom you refer to by KON or TOMKAT? I’m sorry that I spend my MONDAY nights at my apartment taking a break from studying for accounting exams while you await comments from other people on your creepy website that revolves around people you don’t know. Don’t bother replying. I won’t be checking up on your opinions like you do everyone else’s.
Ri – Oh, that’s right … you won’t bother checking … even though you just responded to my “Creepy website” a second time. Then a third. Lol. Take a look around bitch, my blog is about me and the things I like and dislike. Its not all about KON or TOMKAT. By the way, I got a 4.0 in my own accounting class … even though I got married during my midterms and didn’t study. I think getting married is a much more meaningful study break that surfing the net for celebrity gossip. I love how you kids today spend all of your time online. No wonder you can’t take me ripping on you … you are all huffy and promising me not to come back probably because you’ve never been in a real fight your whole life.
I’m on the internet right now because I have a damn disease that keeps me awake at night due to the pain. Instead of collecting disability, I go to work even though I feel like hell because I want to. And, oh yeah, my disease can be fatal. That is why I’m at home, awake, because I need to do something to when I’m sick. And I think being productive and writing a blog that talks about everything, from art to literature to medical awareness to politics is much better than visiting websites and telling the webmasters off. You are acting like the asshole, not me.
Don’t belive me? Take a look at my blog before you trash me.
http://thegirlfromtheghetto.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/and-the-lucky-disease-is-dysautonomia/
I DONT KNOW WHY EVERYONE KEEPS COMPLAINING ABOUT JON AND KATE BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT NO THEY ARENT PERFECT NEITHER IS HALF OF THE PARENT IN THE UNIVERSE AS A PARENT OF ONE JUST LAY OFF OF HER YOU KNOW WHAT ATLEAST YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY LOVE THERE CHILDREN AND ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO MAKE THEM HAPPY YOU NEVER SEE THEM HIT THE CHILDREN YES THEY DO GET PUT IN TIME OUT BUT EVERY KID NEEDS THAT SOME TIME SOME PARENTS BEAT THERE KIDS AND YOU KNOW WHAT NO THEY MAY NOT BE PERFECT PARENTS BUT THEY DO THE BEST THEY CAN WITH WHAT THEY HAVE AND YOU KNOW I WOULD PROLLY BE THE SAME WAY WITHH EIGHT KIDS BECAUSE THAT IS HARD TO GET STAINS OUT OF CLOTHES AND CHILDREN ESPICALLY WITH EIGHT KIDS AND YOU KNOW WHAT IF YOU ALL HAVE TIME TO CRITIZE JON AND KATE THEN MAYBE THERE DOING A BETTER JOB AT PARENTING BECAUSE THEY ARENT ON HERE CRITIZEING YOU ARE THEY??????
What did everyone think about Kon’s explanation of the picture’s and Jon staying at his mom’s? Anyone buy it? It is obvious that Jon wants this all to end and Kate wants more, more, and more! Once again the twins were mainly absent in the episode as was Jon. Wake up Kate your family is trying to tell you something!!! Get out now and save your family!!! The freebies and the fame is not worth it. Love your babies and your husband more!!
i think that they are doing great things for their kids. of course they are going to make money they are working really hard. this will help in the long run because they didnt have very much money in the start and now they can probably put away alot of money for their children. i think that jon is going under the normal stress he is a normal guy in an extraordinary situiation and hes is just know realizing what it feels like to have this much attention. I think that kate has been very strong through this and what people seem not to understand is that she has to act the way she does because if she didnt her household would be out of sorts like the new show “table for twelve” their just jon and kate plus eight on acid to me i dont like them i love kate values and belifs and i think she is doing wonderful things her kids seem extremely happy. they seem to adore the camera and the crew theyve literally become family to them.Jon can go out and drink and thats totally fine and its not like hes grinding on these girls they were just freindly pics.
Like i said before it is never ok to cheat on someone! no matter if they are mean and bossy. I think the family needs therepy and i think it would be best to stop the show if it’s going to cause so much TROUBLE!
The pictures on this page look very innocent to me. Are there pictures that look more damaging? Because if not people need to quit speculating. Many couples act, do & say the same things to each other just like Jon & Kate do thats just the ups and downs of a relationship . I really dont think that they will divorce and I can see the love they have for each other.
Here’s the evidence. The pictures speak for themselves. The eye witness accounts are undeniable.
Let’s just admit it, YOU’VE got the only true “family man” left.
Kevin – I agree, the pictures say alot. And too many people gave their names and testimony to several national tabloids. I am truely lucky to have such a family man myself. He is so private he won’t even let me talk about him in detail or post pictures of our family on my blog where I don’t even use our names. He values his privacy and plenty of people do, too. I laugh when people tell me I’d do what the Gosselin’s do and I assure you, NO WE WOULD NOT!
Kayla – My lord, you are a horible speller. I believe that they do love their children. And I beleive they may have thought they were doing right by their children by doing a tv show. and, yes, most parents are not perfect, including my own. However, when you see two people with two differetn sets of ideals raising eight children on tv you have to wonder is this the best thing for their marriage and the best thing for their children. Most people don’t have reality shows, so strangers like you don’t know their dirty little secrets. You can’t watch a dvd of your family whenever you want … seeing mommy yell at you about socks. Perhaps while it comes off as ok to you it comes off as mean to me … and many more people. You tell me that maybe Jon & Kate are not on here so this makes them better parents? Huh? What does that have to do with parenting skills? Jon was clearly upset on tv last night and wants to quit the show. Kate doesn’t. If she gets her way and the show continues … how is THAT going to effect Jon’s parenting style? Its not going to make him happy, as we all know in our hearts when you do something you have to rather than you want to it never makes you happy.
Lynn- I wrote a post on last nights show. I agree Jon is done w/tv and Kate is not. Read my post to find out what Kate may be trying to do next.
Malaurie – When KON started they were young and poor. They grew into a huge family, with no means to provide for them. Society decided to help them, and its now become their only support for these children. Its the same thing to me at least with Octomom, except while she collected disability they may have collected welfare, since I’ve read that Jon got fired and Kate quit her nursing job. In my house, we don’t have more children simply because we can’t afford to. That is a responsible thing to do in my opinion.
Jen – for Jon’s sake, I hope he gets what he wants, which is peace.
Barb – My husband doesn’t drink, let alone never goes out and gets drunk and hangs out with college girls. You forget that while Jon is young, these people were almost a decade younger than him. I have no idea if he kissed women like the tabloids are printing, but I know if it were my own hubby, he’d be getting a earful from me. Men who are married don’t need to go out and mingle with college girls. Period. And all of you woman out there know exactly what I mean. Please don’t try to tell me otherwise.
We keep hearing the same thing OVER AND OVER AGAIN! HE WENT OUT PARTYING! HE PICKED UP GIRLS AT A BAR! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO FINALLY HEAR SOMETING THAT WE HAVENT ALREADY HEARD
MILLION TIMES! Jon shouldn’t have done that(if it’s true) and Kate should not be soooo mean to him. They BOTH need to work on their marrige. So don’t blame it on just Kate or Jon. They both are at fault!
Jen – True, the both agreed to have their lives taped. Its like once you go reality tv you never go back. Look at the damn Osbourne’s. Their kids went crazy, yet they are all coming back to tv because now that’s all the have. Hell, even the chick who got jilted on The Bachelor is on her third reality show in three year. Yikes. You can’t expect privacy if you put yourself out there 24/7. All you are doing is inviting the world in for a glance.
My mother always says she dosn’t like reality t.v. because she believes it’s not what it really seems TO BE. Jon said HE didn’t want to be in the public eye. Kate said SHE still wanted to do it but when your in the public eye 24/7 and you have that many kids it might not work out. I really hope that they do the right thing. Everyone deserves something good. Even if you did something wrong. Right, thegirlfromtheghetto?
Girl from the Ghetto,
Thank you for this site. Before I found it I thought I must be the only one to find Kate one awful person in spite of the pro-Kate propaganda put out. This show is like watching the news. We see maniac car chases, foreign wars and narcissistic Kate. She mangles words, uses the wrong words and blathers on all the while accusing no-b___s Jon of the same. She abuses her kids. But she is the victim.
The absolute worst behavior of many examples is her overacting on the plane to Utah. She actually said she was making a big, loud scene for everyone with her. Then she became so sick she couldn’t take care of her children and had to go to a spa. She is insane and should have been put away a few years ago. Watch – in a few years someone will do a film like “Sunset Blvd.” about her. Then Carol Burnett can do a takeoff.
Pjd – I am rolling about the Sunset Blvd remarke. I am glad we found each other and yes, Kate did overreact so bad in Utah that I can not bear to watch that episode. She is so maniacal its bothersome. Anyone who wants to be a part of that – god bless them I say!
Mr. Mom will not divorce Kate. It’s over when she says. He can’t even stand up to her. Sure, he’s miserable because he’s home playing Mr. Mom while Queen Kate is running around being pampered on trips (ooo I mean working). Jon has been stripped of all his diginity. He gave up his dignity when he gave up his job and grabbig freebies instead.
Your so freaking wrong.
He posed with a couple fans, and you can NEVER trust Star magazine..
Logan – Why can’t we trust Star? Have you ever read the magazine? They have broken all sorts of news stories way before reputable news magazines have. If they didn’t verify the truth they would be sued and shut down. So spare me with your self rightous bullshit, be a man, do some research and give me a list of stories they were wrong about. Franny – I hearYeah, that’s right, you can’t.
Franny – I “heart” you today!
Franny-LOL! Yes, you are right. Jon Gosselin barely has the guts to even speak for himself. So why would he have the guts to divorce Kate. Everyone is getting ahead of themselves here. They haven’t EVEN addressed it. So Lets all take a step back and breathe because WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED!
Well, Kon finally made it onto TMZ tonight. A shot of them leaving dinner at Mr. Chow’s in Beverly Hills. Oh Brother! Isn’t that where the “celebrities” are always spotted? Who the hell does this woman think she is, she is not a celebrity. (Only maybe in her own mind)
She is the most evil woman walking the earth in my opinion. She treats her own husband as if he was a dog, talks to him like a child constantly. What kind of example is she setting for her children? I feel so sorry for those children. The only decent people they had in there lives (Aunt Jody, Uncle Kevin, Beth, Nana Janet) have all just been erased as if they never existed. My only hope for Kate is as my sister always says, “you reep what you sow”, hopefully she’ll get what she deserves one day. A lonely miserable existence with no more husband, no friends, and no more fame!
Jane – I missed seeing them on TMZ, but I did this post earlier today about it … has a link to the video.
http://thegirlfromtheghetto.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/jon-and-kate-minus-8-date-at-mr-chows-in-beverly-hills/
I feel sorry for any potential spouse of any of the kids. Kon certainly doesn’t exemplify a health relationship. The boys see nothing but a dishrag of a father/husband figure and the girls see a domineering shrew of a mother/wife. True, all couples go through hard times, but to see the disrespect Kate shows to Jon weekly is not healthy. Any guy marrying one of the girls would have to be a wimp and any girl marrying one of the boys better have a set.
Hey Genius –
It’s ALLUDE, not ELUDE. Also, why would you put an apostrophe in “the Gosselin’s?”
Go back to school! Ugh.
Erica – Girl, you are so funny for calling me out. I write the wrong shit all the time because I have Dysautonnmia … I’m constantly rushing to do my blog posts since I’m busy living life – work, kids, husband, physical therapy, etc. Trust me, if this was a paid gig there wouldn’t be any typos. I’m a decent “real” writer when I make the effort.
To improve your future blogs, please heed the following grammatical recommendations:
1. I’m going to the Gosselins’ home for dinner tonight.
2. The Gosselins are a family of eight.
It’s possible to make a correction without being rude or sarcastic.
If Ghetto Girl needs grammar school, then you need charm school.
You know Star Magazine is a tabloid, right? I’m not saying that it didn’t happen, but you can’t take everything you see and hear as fact. It is my opinion that Jon shouldn’t have been at college parties where there was alcohol and half-dressed girls, but that is all the pictures prove–that he was there. The rumors go so far beyond that, but it’s all hear-say. But if those incidents really did happen, I am so sad for he and his wife and his kids. I watched the show from the beginning and I really do think that they are a normal family with values, trying to give their kids good childhood experiences and what is in their best interest. They do seem to have changed since the show started, and maybe that is due to too much exposure. Maybe they became too aware of how much they are in the public eye. The reason people fell in love with their family is because they were so normal…they had a normal house, normal jobs, and they just did day-to-day stuff with their kids. Now it seems they feel the need to be something else. It makes me sad, but it also seems to me that trashy posts like this one feed into all of it. I’m not saying that the media is solely responsible for behavior like that, but it definitely encourages and promotes it. And in light of all of the exploitation, I think it would be REALLY hard to have a normal marriage and family. The media aggravates that, then when they see people struggling, they kick them while they’re down, splashing stories and pictures and exaggerated rumors everywhere, commenting and hoping that they’ll never make it. It really is a vicious cycle.
Honestly, I’m willing to bet that Jon attended these parties, but didn’t do any of the things that people are claiming he did. I don’t know why he’d go in the first place, but I am just not willing to believe everything that people are claiming. People will say anything for a story. If we feel that Jon and Kate have turned into something else, the best thing we could do for them is to stop running their names through the mud. What they obviously need is to re-focus what their family and marriage is about. I don’t think that can very well happen when people are kind of willing their family to fall apart, like this post demonstrates. If not for them, for their kids. They really don’t deserve the brunt of all of it.
How could you do This to jon gosselin
burn in hell i can’t believe you’d do this to him.
unless it’s a proven fact, leave Jon and Kate alone. The truth always comes out…until then…No one knows except for Jon and Kate
The grammar and spelling of the Kate fans scare me. Do these people actually function in society?
My daughter learned the difference between their, there, and they’re in 2nd grade. Why do adults still not know the difference?? I know, maybe they are not adults. Still, people should know these basic rules or else they should just play games and not attempt to communicate.
Y are u so hateful? Do u know them personally? Then don’t make an assumptions! Mind ur own damn business and let them work out their own problems. They have 8 freakin kids, yea having a relationship as well would be tough if u took care of 8 kids all day. Get a life and quit being so damn nosey!
Adults don’t know the difference because the teachers are better now and I don’t care if people have typos. It dosn’t really matter as long as they get their point across. People dont have the time to be making sure that its perfect. We’re not perfessionals. It is true though, if they like Kate then they almost always have really bad typos. I just don’t get why people really care that much about it. Seriously.
I think because Jon Gosselin is a T.V. star people are making a big deal that he went to a party. Yeah, men who have that many kids should NOT be going to parties but as I read more about this I have finally come to the point where I don’t know if he cheated and I think he just wanted to have a good time. However, if that means he has to go to a bar, get drunk, pick up girls, cheat on his wife then that means that there is something SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH HIM.
Everyone is bagging on Kate….and I don’t blame them. She is loud and annoying and sooooo abusive to her husband(verbal). I think she might have drove him to insainity. THIS FAMILY NEEDS PERFESIONAL HELP.
I hope they get what they need, peace.
Again, I’m short on time this week. Can’t comment to everyone but let me say this – I am not “doing” anything to them. “THEY” put themselves in the publci eye. THEY sell themselves as an image and “I” am just talking about them and their show here, for fun. Not for profit or fame. Just for fun. Relax people, relax. I have no idea why people who have a different opinion than I do take it personally AND tell me off as well. YOU look and sound like complete fucking assholes.
Got to go watch Izzy die on Grey’s.
Adults don’t know the difference because the teachers are better now and I don’t care if people have typos.
Are you serious or is this a joke??
Why am I always being punked on this site??????
I just found this site, and it’s outstanding! Nice job!
tvsnark, everyone makes typos now. It’s because our teachers suck!
I don’t understand these people who get fertility treatments, have a litter, and think they did something wonderful.
By the way, I have multiples myself, and can’t imagine disrupting their lives for the entertainment of others.
I just found this post, and it’s outstanding! Thanks ghettogirl!
tvsnark, there are typos everywhere now. It’s because our teachers suck!
I can’t understand how women can have fertility treatments, have a litter, then think they did something wonderful. I have multiples myself (natural, no drugs) and can’t imagine disrupting their lives for the entertainment of others – for ANY amount of money.
Missy99912 – Wow, thanks for the kudos Missy. You know, I read in People Magazine last night about how its medically recommended to only implant TWO eggs in a woman. OMG, how are these people squirting out six to eight kids at once? Sounds so dangerous to me. Congrats on the multiples!
TV Snark – If I you knew how I felt running this blog … people are CRAZY/RUDE/INSANE. I hate that I get sucked in to going GHETTO on them.
Jen – There is nothing wrong for a person to go to a bar. Drinking is fun. Reality show people have to just watch out what they do when they go inside them. I know that … and Jon should have been aware of that fact as well, right?
As for typos, I do make them myself on my own blog posts from time to time. But, its mainly because I have a stupid neurological disease. When I’m not sick/tired/stress/pressed for time I write very well and professionally. Your going to have to look around at read some posts about myself to understand for proof of that.
My pet peave is people who have no idea how to write … and this is my blog, so I’m entitled to say this. If a person makes one typo, I can deal with it as long as they aren’t being a jerk to me. But, if you want to emphasize a point, I expect people to write well. If you can’t write well I consider you dumb. My own BFF is a college professor and she has students who turn in their Theisis, and if she sees one correction on the first page, then they have to redo the ENTIRE paper. That’s just how it rolls in the academic world. Some colleges may let you slide but the good Universities will kick your ass.
Kelly, N, Ash, Liz – Are you serious? This family has never been normal. I need all of you to do this: Imagine what if Kate was a man, and Jon a woman and you saw Jon slapping Kate and yelling at Kate and telling Kate what to do all the time. Would you honestly feel they were lovable, normal and happily married couple?
For many many months I was ignorant about what many others thought about the Gosselins. Only when a friend emailed me did I look them up and start mentioning my feelins online. From the beginning of the show I felt something was “off.” You can’t expect people who go on to to be left alone. Fame always comes with a price. sorry.
Liz – I agree totally that the show has changed into something else. While I personally feel that KON was never a normal family, I realize that there isn’t a normal family in the entire world. They were interesting to me and I loved watching their beautiful children grow up. I still adore the children. I’m sorry if you feel the media is responsible for their issues because its totally the other way around. Their issues are causing everyone to start talking about them. Why else are any of you constanly searching the internet for them other than to find out gossip about them. If you really just liked the show you would just watch the show, buy their books, etc. People who I like, such as Tina Fey, I have no idea what they are like in real life. I don’t care. I don’t know her past, her history, who her friends are, what her favorite food is because that’s not normal to me to think about. Back in the day when old Hollywood existed, no one knew much about those stars … because they were such damn good entertainers. You fall in love on screen with them … and the ignorance was bliss.
Dearest Ghetto,
Yes, I am serious. I think you said you’ve watched the show from the beginning. Well, I have too. From the very first episode to be exact (and no, I’m not that obsessed, I just happened to catch it when it first came on and I’ve been following it ever since.) Like I said, I do feel like they have changed over the years, but in the beginning the show really did portray a normal family. I don’t think the producers’ aim was to have the family take a bunch of lavish trips where they receive special treatment the whole time, and do exciting things every episode. I think those ideas kind of evolved after the show had been on for a couple seasons and they saw that people really enjoyed watching the family. After a while, it needs a little something to continue being a show, other than a house full of children doing daily things each episode (even though I just think the kids are cute and do enjoy episodes like that.) My point is, when the show started out, I think that the intentions were true. People were interested to see what a life with sextuplets (plus twins) might look like, and Jon and Kate opened their home. I guess your opinion is that it was for money and fame all along. Well, Kate has admitted on many of the shows that they do it for the experience the kids get out of it that they wouldn’t ordinarily be able to get since there are so many kids and the money wouldn’t stretch. But I don’t think that means she was in it for the money. And I am admitting that I think she has become increasingly aware of being in the spotlight lately. Her focus does seem to have shifted a little. But I am just saying that I don’t think the show started out that way and I don’t think her motivation has been money and fame the whole time. That is what I mean by the media aggravating the situation. TRUST me, I do not blame the media for what happens to famous people. People should be aware of exactly what can happen in the spotlight, and you can’t really blame other people for the decisions you make or your behavior. So I wholeheartedly agree that the Gosselins make their own decisions and the media and anyone else can and will comment on it. And that’s freedom of speech–you are certainly entitled to your posts and your opinions (BUT if you are entitled to that, then I am entitled to speak to it as well. It goes both ways. Just as an aside.) What I am saying is that the media feeds into the family’s demise. I am not ignoring the fact that the interaction between Jon and Kate isn’t all that pleasant, or that it seems at times Kate is too aware of the popularity, what I am saying is that all of that will only become worse as the media exploits it. The more exposure and gossip, the more rifts will be caused, at the very least. And I’m not sure it’s entirely fair to say that for a show like this they knew they were getting into it. I think they should have been aware that being closely watched by so many people would mean more responsibility, but it’s not as though they chose a “life of fame.” I just don’t think that statement is true as it would be for someone who pursues fame and fortune as a life goal. You’re entitled to think that’s true of them, but like I said, I’ve watched them from the beginning and I just don’t.
And you’re right – what family is normal? Sometimes Kate’s personality rubs me the wrong way–she has a very dominant and controlling one. She doesn’t treat Jon all that well sometimes. But if you sliced anyone’s home in two to watch the goings-on on a weekly basis, do you realize the kind of flaws you could easily pick out and dwell on? Of course you’re going to find major flaws when you’re watching the same family that much. I’m not excusing the way she treats him, I’m just saying maybe she shouldn’t be so heavily criticized for her personality. She is also a very strong, motivated, caring, and loving mother.
Finally, are people really that misinformed to believe that fertility drugs instantly make you pregnant with six or eight babies? Come on people. First off, Kate did not have embryos implanted, and if you’ve been that clueless to the news lately, the “Octomom” and doctors who assisted with that are being severely criticized for doing it. So obviously that doesn’t happen very often. The percentage of multiple-birth pregnancies that result from taking fertility drugs is very, very low. Kate has said she wasn’t trying for multiples–she was having trouble getting pregnant so she took the drugs, knowing that the chance of multiples was very slim. As she has said, she is a multiple-birth nightmare. But I do think it’s entertaining that people act like she was this woman who sat around plotting to have six children, start a tv show, gain fortune and fame, and rule the world. Right.
XOXO
Liz
Liz – Thank you so much for responding, and responding respectfully. I honestly appreciate the effort to get your point across. When I wrote the post about them possibly being in it for the money I was asking a question … could it be possible? I too have watched the show from the beginning. I love networks like Discovery Health and watch any type of human interest story. I enjoyed the KON show because it was interesting to see how people cope with that many kids. It was entertaining to see the simple things get done, like brushing teeth, grocery shopping, etc. It turned into freebie fest and over exposure. It happens, and I understand the snowball effect. Now I see two different people every week on that couch. I know all about what they have SAID about Kate’s fertitlity issues were, but remember, really only she and her doctor(s) know the truth. I found it interesting that while Kate was pregnant they did press conferences and set up a web site. They were looking for financial help. To me, this is obvious. So many people in this world have large families. We all could market ourselves in some fashion, hoping to garner interest in our causes. Like the girls who start websites to get money to help pay for their breast implants. But most of us don’t. And I really understand the people who support them, too. But, and I say but, if you are going to market yourself, you have to find your market and realize there are plenty of people who think your idea is nuts. If you have read my blogs and every comment I’ve ever written you aren’t going to see me saying those kids don’t deserve what the have. I beleive that the kids need to begin life off camera to grow up emotionally healthy, and that if KON is going to continue to market themselves, they do it in a new fashion. I don’t feel its right for them to go to churches and accept offerings if they are really still saying that they are struggling. Some of you will say they need all the money they can get, and I’m going to always tell you that they live in a million dollar house and anyone who lives in a million dollar house should not still be talking about using coupons. This implies they need to. And they don’t. They can of course use coupons, but don’t talk about using coupons on tv.
They make around $76,000 a show. In just three episodes that is more income than 98% of Americans make in a year. (*Only 2% of Americans make $200,000 or more in a year.)
Don’t forget, the kids have gotten free haircuts for the first five years of their lives, plus dentistry, clothing, shelter, food during filming, free vacations and little trips to museums, etc, and have been promised free college educations by the governor of PA. Just what the heck is that (Reported) $3 million a year going to? I swear to god if I had that much I’d do more than just save it for the future. I’d help mankind. That is what I want to see more from Kate. Her money going into someone else’s pocket. Like it should have to Aunt Jodi. Sigh.
Thegirlfromtheghetto,
Sometimes people do really stupid things. You’re right, Jon Gosselin should have been more carefull. Every now and then people make mistakes and it’s okay. Just as long as people learn from them so that they won’t make the same mistake. Part of life is being able to correct yourself when you screw up. Unfortunutly, celebrities have a harder time with it. A lot of people who were never taught not to hold a grudge end up making bigger mistakes then the people who were taught to live life to the fullest.
Jon Gosselin needs to come to terms with what he did(if he did do something wrong). Thats the best way to make things better, right?
Jen
Jen – Whatever problems Jon and Kate do have need to be taken care of in private. by going out to the type fo restaurant that has photographers at the door they are inviting the public into their relationship. I’ve seen this sort of thing tear apart a lot of celebrity realtionships … they need to work on this in private and not in the public eye. They should stick to their house … and not the streets of L.A.
It always seemed as if Jon Gosselin wanted out of the celebrity fame. I wonder if the show will continue? Just like you said, they need to work it out in PRIVATE and by having the cameras around, it seems as if they’re creating more problems. This family seems strong enough to handle their problems but publicity seems like an issue, dosn’t it?
Jen – Why are they making public appearances then? How is that going to help work things out privatly?
I don’t think that Kate and Jon Gosselin should be making these public apperances either. Like I said, JON wants out and KATE wants in. In an issue in people magazine Jon Gosselin said that he felt lost. He said that he was having a difficult problem always being on t.v. I wonder how Kate REALLY feels? Now that her career is taking off and the kids are growing up will this show that we’ve known to love come to an end? Maybe if they slowed things down?
He’s never seemed too bummed-out about their lives in the spotlight before, after all, it was partly his decision to put them there. The peak of their fame is on a downward slide at this point…it’s a lot easier to be comfortable with your fame when it’s new and people are not yet discussing how your wife keeps your balls in a mason jar, or how you are totally jeopardizing your children’s futures.
I’m starting to think that Jon’s whole issue with being famous might just be a play for ratings.
Conflict and controversy is always a sure way to get people tuning in.
If this is a ploy for ratings then its working because they are now called the most-watched t.v show on tlc. How odd is that? When things get out of hand they get the best ratings…….hmmmm……I wonder….? Well thats more money for Kate? Yah.
i did not know that november 21et already happened!!!
Most of the comments was all about “poor Jon” what he has to put up with. What little time I have watch the show he’s like most men if you didn’t nag him nothing would get done.
Guess what both agreed to have another child which ended up to be 6 more children. I’m sorry to hear about the possiblity of a divorce, not only for the two of them, but also for the children.
To say that Jon is the better parent, would you be saying that most Dads takes the inital to spend one-to-one with each child without the Mom’s encouragement.
I would hope if they had made a decision to be on television they would be getting paid. You don’t see many movie stars in with a movie without getting a big pay check.
Jon was wrong in being married and going to a bar and forgetting about, if not his wife, his children.
If it was all innocent why not come home and tell his wife he went to the bar had some fun. Like most wivies they are the last to know.
I wonder if Jon had spoken to Kate and express his feeling before playing around in the bar, or telling her things needs to change.
How many of us gets the chance to leave our children and have a fun night out and feel safe with who we leave them with. We are not talking about one or two children are we.
Most married couples has trouble, without being on camera.
Whatever we as people watch on television there are most always something that capture our attention to watch the following week, Surviver, the MCI showS, Without a Trace, Numbers and many more….
Think about the pay each are receiving.
Sorry, I forgot to mention the possibility of the station taking on another single mom family of 14 do you think she won’t be getting paid.
The station already has more family on that is simulator, Table of Twevle, which has replaced Jon & Kate plus eight until the next season.
How many of us won’t do what they are doing in order survive and go on trips and receive special favors, again movies stars receive the same as these reallty shows but more and sports players also.
In many of those pictures, he is at a bar called Legend’s in Reading, PA. My friends have seen him there……just having a good time
I think this marriage has been on the rocks. Isn’t interesting now that the kids are getting near school age, this is all coming up now? I think the show would have gone kaput anyway what with the kids being off to school soon. I can’t see any school allowing tv cameras, especially for the privacy of the other students. I never had much respect for him or her- seems like they were both enjoying the benefits of basically pimping their kids out.
Michele – I just don’t think this latest controvery was planned by Jon or Kate. If the show is making the most out of it for ratings, can you blame them? They must make so much advertising money off them … and the buzz is sensational. I mean, all the KON lovers and haters still flock here and this gossip is old news.
I can tell that he loves kate and thy will be together for the reast of there lives married.
Emily- No one knows how long any couple will stay together … its impossible.
TGFTG . . . love your blog! I have watched this from the first show and as others have said it has changed. It has turned into Kate belittling and Mady whining. To whoever said Mady is a mini Kate . . . I AGREE!
The saddest for me is knowing they are living in a $1.13 million dollar home in an area where so many have lost their jobs and/or are laid off temporarily. I have yet to see them give back to the community that they so eagerly took from. Not to mention when you bring up thier names to locals they cringe and tell you “If you only knew”. You think now that they are on “easy street” they’d give a little back to those that so eagerly gave years ago. I’m sure there are a few that could use that help now. {{{And I don’t mean a signed pic, a cd or a book}}}
In due time the truth will rise to the surface and everyone will know what we know here in the area. In the meantime . . .you keep your blog going. Some of us are listening!
Berkslocal – Thank you! They do need to give to charity … I feel everyone does.
You know what? All i see in those pictures are of Jon with a bunch of obsessed fans that have to make up wild stories just to get noticed!! I don’t think Jon would EVER do that to Kate!! And how would you guys like it if someone was betting on how long your marriage would last?!?! You guys are just sick and wrong! Leave them alone! They have enough to deal with in there life with 8 kids they don’t need shit from you guys too!
Patrice – Come on, can’t you beleive the other side of it at all … are you saying that Jon COULD NOT make a bad decision? Don’t be so closed minded.
Oh but my family has and have bet on how long my marriage would last. Too bad its still strong and solid after 24 years. Would it be going strong if I belitted my husband? Would it be strong if my husband hung out in bars with young girls? That would be a big fat “NO”.
If you’re at home helping Mom then why are you even going out. My mother-in-law had Alzheimer’s and I can tell you my hubby never left her side when he was care giving. I stepped back to give the space needed for them. He wasn’t frequenting bar rooms when she needed him.
Okay, I need to get off my soapbox.
Ara – People here may hate them, but not everyone who writes their opinion does. I don’t hate them at all. And, actually, we do have a right to judge them, because we pay them to entertain us. They make their living off of filming a tv show, and in return, we get to think ANYTHING we want about them. That is the beuty of being an American. You want to live in a country where you would get killed for thinking something outside of the box? I certainly don’t …
Danielle – I assure you, I am not a brainwashed American. I watched the show for years, loved it, then started reading about stories about KON. I make my own opinions based on what I read and see on the show. I’m just saying what I think. Nurse M is right, if you don’t want to get picked on then don’t call us names. We are allowed opinions, as I’ve allowed you to have one here.
First off, I must say that I love the blog…great work! Jon & Kate + 8 has become a guilty pleasure of mine….but I do have many issues with it. I agree with everyone who is concerned for the children, hates Kates attitude and doesn’t understand why Jon can’t stand up to his abusive wife. Should I stop watching because of these issues? Probably. Will I stop watching because of these issues? Probably not. I just hope that something good will come out of all of it…especially for the children. Kate can rot for all I care. Sorry to be so blunt but she just seems evil.
Tiffani – Thanks for loving my blog. Glad to read a comment that wasn’t so typical. Congrats on having your own original thoughts.
I don’t watch J&K much anymore, but it is often on because I love the TLC channel. I did hear Kate the other night during the couch interview…she told Jon he was breathing funny. I can’t believe this woman…everything bugs her and it has become very uncomfortable to even watch them.
I truly feel their show has reached an end. Maybe an update on the children (not KON) once a year or so would be enough, but all the waste of air time about J&K’s personal issues is boring. Stay married? They have alot of work to do, but $$ will be an issue.
being a white wife with an asian husband (a korean one at that, but he’s not american like jon, he’s korean-korean with limited english), those two are an embarassment to couples like us. I’ve only seen a few episodes, and I love those kids, they are super cute, but yeah… the mom is complete selfish bitch. I NEVER talk to my husband like that (if their case was the other way around, it would abuse wouldn’t it kate lovers?), I would NEVER treat my children like , and never put them on TV for money no matter how many I had. still, I’d die if my husband was cheating on me, its a horrible thing, and when children are involved, thats just pure evil. no one deserves cheating, if they are unhappy, they should go their spperate ways for the childrens sake. I’ml ucky me and my husband have a healthy relationship, most people dont even know wer’e married (and for 3 years now) becuase of how polite we are to each other and how loving we are, but our young age might have something to do with it ^^… I’m wanting children, and if I had 8 kids, I’d just love it, might be hard, but my offspring are worth it. I’d never rob their childhood form them like that. kate and jon both had well to do jobs, and if they needed help, take what is given to you (like from family…) and be humble. not like those two didn’t know what was going to happen with that procedure. if they were so poor, they should have stopped at the twins. their parents are selling them out, 1 or 2 seasons was enough to set them for life, this is overkill.
and another thing, whats with the hate messages to the blogger? this is her blog, her opinion, and I dont think she lives in china… if you dont like, just state that you think they are good people (without acting like your 12 years old) or leave. its not hard.
I was reading cuz the comments on here are funny, and I wanted to put in my share. if I truly though those two were good parents, i’d just say something like “I think they are judged unfair, having 8 kids can make you act like a bitch, the husband might not even be cheating, so this could all be just gossip…etc…” yeah, calling the blogger ignorant, stupid, bitch, or w/e isn’t helping you out.
Mimi- Thanks for sticking up for me! People love to hide behind their fake names on here. Its just a self esteem thing in my opinion. I think a lot of the women who watch and love Kate defend her because they see themself in her. Admitting she comes off mean or a bitch means they are admitting they act the same way and they can’t bare to acknowledge that. Anyone who tells me off her rest assured I have bigger problems than someone hating me for what I think.
Bravo, Mimi. This is the Girl’s blog and she lets us share our opinions on it. Afford her, and all posters, some respect when you disagree.
Bravo Sally and Mimi!
these thoughts are what ihave been thinking forsooooooooo long.
the showhas changed dramatically
if you want to call me jealous,so be it
but i think it is horrible to watch all those freebies when all of us with children can’t afford toeven survive in this economy
we should boycott everyone who contributes to KON’s kitty
at least the Duggars are real
they respect each other andstay hometo watch their own children.
KON sickens me. it is time to get them(especially kateand her woodpecker hairdo) off the air permanently
Laurie – especially kateand her woodpecker hairdo
You are cracking me up this morning. I think if eveyone just stops talking about them rather than watching the show it will have a better impact.
I have been reading this with interest because I see a lot of my own thoughts/feelings reflected here. I also can relate to Ghetto Girl because I too have autoimmune diseases, in my case Rheumatoid Arthritis which prevent me from doing much of what I would like to do;
That said, I would like to comment on Jon & Kate versus the Octuplet mom. I too wonder why the public backlash is so much more severe for her; the only real difference is that she is divorced and having to do it on her own. She has been taken advantage of by everyone from Dr Phil, Angels in Waiting, A realtor (Victor Munoz) who decided to become a publicist and practice on a very difficult case; radar online who managed to portray her as silly and irresponsible and shows her fighting with her family and her family themselves who sold her down the river immediately after the birth of the octuplets. Online negativity is positively venomous and the poor lady is not only subjected to public scrutiny with every move she makes, but the majority either want her children taken away and put up for adoption or can’t use enough bad language to describe her; the word “octopussy” has got to be one of the most derogative and belittling terms I have ever hear used towards any mother. I have seen comments about what if the Gosselin children read these message boards what will they feel like; I ask what will the octubplets and their older siblings feel like when they simply read the news stories.
I hope the do get to do a reality show because they obviously could use the money and because I think it would be truly interesting. Imagine the amount of organization involved in taking care of this many children!
Nurse M – While I find the idea of having 14 children impossible, I hope that she just gets help. I agree its not fair the negativity she is getting right off the bat, when everyone was so pro Gosselin just because they were married. All parties involved were unemployed when birth was giving for all these children. Then again Octomom has been running around like crazy in front of cameras. Plus she contacted Angelina Jolie before the kids were born to ask her to play her in the movie of her life. And Angelina has admitted this as well. Anyone who wants fame just because they have a lot of kids is doing a diservice to their children in my opinion.
However, I have to point out that this is NOT a message board or a blog dedicated to KON, this is a blog all about me and the things I like and don’t where a post was written about a tv show and I allow all sorts of comments to go through. If anyone’s kids surf the net about them years from now its on Kon’s or Octomom, not me. You are supposed to watch what your kids do on the net. I know we do.
I just reread my post and have to apologize for all the typos and the poor sentence structure. I guess I should have proofread my submission! Anyway, thanks for letting express myself in a mostly non-threatening environment.
Nurse M – I only pick on the bad spellers when they are just ragging on others or myself. Don’t worry about it. :>)
I agree that Nadja may be doing this for fame, but I also think she needs the money and I don’t know how else she can get it but the “citizens” are so against her being on welfare.
Nurse M – Well, she’s going to have some help from the government. Welfare, WICK, Food stamps. Eventually private citizens, churches and charities will help her. No one wants to see any kids suffer. I just think giving her a show will just feed into this multiple craziness. People tell me on her how there are websites that tell you how to conceive more babies, etc. Yikes! No clue this type of chatter existed.
No, I didn’t know it existed either. Maybe if I am honest I just want her to do the show because I want to see the babies grow and develop; of course if she really is as silly as she has been portrayed on radar videos it could be very painful to watch. I find myself just itching to help organize that household. Maybe there is a little of Kate Gosselin in me. I am the grandmother of 14, five of which are adopted special needs kids and I know what it is like just to organize a holiday party here and we have the perfect house for it. Can you imagine when she has 8 little babies all crawling or toddling around at once? My daughter had five foster children all under the age of four at once and even she who is very sensible and well organized had her hands full.
My thinking is if Nadya had the dough to inseminate herself repeatedly, it’s on solely on HER to support the lives she created. I do hope that in whatever way she pimps her kids out-it’s inevitable that she will (she already has)-that she take care of all of her medical bills, student loans, etc., etc., etc. and not be a burden to society. What she’s done is complete and utter bullshit to the highest degree! Stupid bitch.
It’s interesting that Nadja once made the comment to a friend/neighbor that she was being paid to do this. I wonder if the Dr was paying her because she was the one patient with whom he was successful. Of course there is also speculation out there that he may also be the sperm donor. Whatever happened, the babies and the older children need our empathy and consideration, and the more they are kept in the public eye the less opportunity for abuse I would think.
NurseM-
Since you brought up ‘Kate’s organizational skills’, could you please cite me some examples of how she’s organized? I’ve always been befuddled by people that think Kate is the ‘be all end all of organization’. Does having everybody do everything for her constitute ‘organization?Thanks in advance for any insight you may provide.
Bobbycat – Let us remember that Nurse M is a rational person one here, a rare treat for us, right? Still, you always make me laugh. Always.
You have a point; I don’t know if she has any organizational skills, she’s just OCD. I on the other hand have managed to organize my own life in such a way as to handle more than one job at a time – if you’re in Nursing Ed you also have to work as a nurse to keep up your skill level. I also had to organize patient care for up to eight students at a time as I was their mentor and supervisor, etc. Having worked in many capacacities which required this type of skill I would welcome the task of leading a team such as Nadja has to care for all her little ones. It wouldn’t be too different from the time I was a supervisor and team leader in various hospital settings, especially the child Psych unit. You want to make sure all needs are met, each person has their assigned tasks and not one child is missed or forgotten. Actually Michelle Duggar would be the master at that one!
Nurse M – Good for you for being a teacher and a nurse! Both very honorable jobs!
Kate is not OCD. She says she is but if she was she wouldn’t let poop and pee sit in toilets all day and freeze in the back of the Van.
She thinks it’s ‘trendy” to say. She’s insulting those who actually suffer.
TV Snark – My poor hubby is so OCD that if I get out of bed just to pee he HAS TO make the bed, even though I’m coming right back in it. That is OCD. I live with it. I have it midly myself but feel like a freud compared to the Mr. Ghetto Girl. I think Kate is more anal retentive, a trait I respect in any person.
Wow. i guess we believe everything we read these days. Can’t anyone hope that something good happens for once like they stay together. He was at his mom’s because she broke her foot. Isen’t he aloud to have fun sometimes, go out with the guys. You people need to worry about your own issues instead of theres. Get a life
- – - I hope you realize that part of me is joking here. I’m sarcastic. If you read my blog, not just this post you’d understand my humor. I don’t want anyone to get divorced. We all just find it comical that he was out drunk. Maybe he kissed girls, maybe not. But some people gave their full names to print in tabloids. So don’t get your panties in a bunch … many people read this and laugh. Haven’t you ever watchedany other comedian on tv these days also making fun of them? NONE of us ever wish them bad luck. Sigh. Please stop writing dumb things like get a life. People like you bore me to tears.
Thanks, I guess! Anyway it was nice to find this blog because people seem to be able to express opinions here without venom and hate, and with a little humor. As for Jon & Kate, I have to admit I watch them because the kids are so cute but I also see Kate as a bit of a witch and John as a bit of a wuss. The kids are improving except for maybe Mady who most of us have itched to administer a little well deserved discipline to. I also am enjoying the new Table for 12 on TLC because these people seem to be everyday people who genuine love and respect each other. I am also glad to see they don’t try to hide Rebecca, the child with cp like she embarasses them. Instead they plan for her and include her and her siblings help to care for her. It is neat to see. If you havn’t watched it give it a try; a refreshing reality show.
Nurse M – Oh, I loved Table for 12 … it was called Twins, Twins and Sextuplets when it first aired as a special earlier this year. I love how they know that their lives are hard, but they just keep rolling on. Plus I love all cops (And teachers) as a rule. My heros in life.
The best argument that I’ve heard against Octomom having her own reality show is that the unsanitary filming environment will become a serious health risk to those 8 preemies. They’re going to be exposed to things that their tiny immune systems just are able to handle at this point…let alone all of the excessive light and noise.
NurseM, I see why you say having cameras around might be a watchdog against abuse/neglect. But I must ask, isn’t exploitation a form of abuse?
The most troubling thing about the announcement the other day about her new supposed show is they used the phrase “Cameras will be rolling 24/7″. That is totally immoral, and illegal according to any child actor/labor law. I pray the somewhat stricter California child labor laws will protect these kids from this madness…but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was otherwise. If there are no laws in California protecting reality show children then those lawmakers better get to work!
I wouldn’t be so concerned about camera equipment being unsanitary as germs don’t really live long on cold, hard, inanimate objects. On the other hand, the people handling the equipment are a real source for the spread of infection, especially if they aren’t good about hand washing, etc. As for the 24/7 filming, does that seem realistic? They certainly aren’t going to film a bunch of people sleeping, are they. It just doesn’t make sense. If they tried it for long they would all be going crazy – camera people included. I wonder who is going to be doing that show; I wouldn’t think that TLC would go for that kind of hours.
iT’S great how they don’t waste a lot of time complaining, just get on with doing what needs to be done and through it all just really enjoy each other. They also don’t across as “preachy” or like know it alls. Just nice, ordinary people like the rest of us. The kids are even dressed like normal kids.
You guys have fun on here while I’m gone … fill in for me, will you?
You’re right! With the non-matching clothing I can actually tell them apart!
Bobbycat – Let us remember that Nurse M is a rational person one here, a rare treat for us, right? Still, you always make me laugh. Always.

Hey Girl,
I should have prefaced my inquiry to NurseM to include that it was being written WITHOUT sarcasm, etc. I realize that NurseM is rational that’s why I was hoping to get a valid example from her of bitchface’s (Kate’s) ‘organizational skills’. As I said, I’m always befuddled by those who think she (Kate) is God’s gift to organization. I have asked so many times for examples and no one had ever posted any examples for me. I knew I’d get an answer from NurseM that’s why I asked.
Sending warm fuzzies & hugs to you both!
Bobby C – Oh, sorry, sometimes I hear sarcasm in everyone … plus I was in a hurry to reply to about 65 messages … Good times!!!
TGFTG-Forgot to mention that I LOVE the new look here! Very nice!
Actually Kate does organize; I was watching a couple of the reruns last night as I was chatting on here. Jon was alone with the kids and talking about meals. Kate had apparently left him with meals and directions which he didn’t care to follow. As they were talking on the couch at the end of the show she kept rolling her eyes and making fun of him. I thought he did a wonderful job with the kids while she was gone and seemed to do it all on his own. So, she organizes shopping and meal planning just as all of us mothers and wives do; its part of our job. She also organizes their clothes and then tells Jon to get them dressed. I suspect this is her pattern; i.e. organize, delegate, and yell! It was also the episode where the talked about Alexis “choosing” to sleep alone in the dark basement. I had heard she was banned there because she was keeping every one else awake so that may be some more of Kate’s organizing, sort of like making the sick child stay on the laundry room floor to keep the bedding clean. Not the way most of us would choose to do it, I think.
Bobbycat: Thanks for the hugs and warm fuzzies. It’s 26 degrees out here today so they are not only appreciated but needed. Sometimes it seems like spring will never really come.
Hey NurseM,
It’s about the same kind of crap weather here. Sadly the daffodils are now bent over and frozen under some freshly fallen snow.
Bobby C and Nurse – Hey, I wore a wool coat and cordory pants today … freezing up in the D!
No worries! Like I said, I should have prefaced my comment with the ‘sarcasm disclaimer’…had a feeling it’d come off sounding bitchy.
Watching the snow fly here…ugh!
No one will know whats best for anyone unless they Personally Know the situation. TV will never fully put the truth in a 30 minute show. They Put what they think will get good ratings.
Well..I thought in the begining the show was very informing about what it’s like to raise multiples. I had twins a couple of years ago and I actually turned to kate as inpiration. But since the show went for the dark turn.(being dumb with UNREAL situations!!) She said if it wasnt real she would not shoot it) Anyway to each is own. So from a real mom who really takes care of her four children including a set of twins. Kate focus on your family! Oh ya, I don’t verbally abuse my husband for playing with our kids, & I praise him too. We still have sex and really love our marraige. ya it’s not perfect but it’s REAL!!
I want mom’s to know… you can still take care of a large family without “help”, love money,or indorsment deals from product placments. Lets see a show like that!!! I do it 24/7. And mom’s do it all over the world with NO praise. They do it because it’s life!!!
OMG…YOU ARE HILARIOUS! YOU HAVE A NEW FAN!
anyone out there want to make a real reality show? come to my 900 square foot cabin in the woods and see my family. My 2 year twins & two older daughters, me as a little person & my average sized husband. We actually struggle on a daily basis to pay our bills & I am constantly rejected on interviews because of my little staure. I have a an undiganosed case of dwafism. At 4 feet 4 inches people dont think I can do a lot but I can!! Anyway just venting! anyway I like real life shows when they are really real!
I hear octomom did get a reality TV show, they just havn’t said witch network its on. she really seems to want fame, and as much as those kids need the money, I can’t help but think she did all this for money, and not her children. maybe she did want that many children to begin with, to sit back and let the money flow. this is jus my guess, so please dont flame me over it. ^^
Actually she is saying the magazine that reported learning that in an “exclusive” interview made up the whole interview with doctored pictures; maybe the reality show rumor is just that. She’s threatening to sue the magazine.
You ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!U r all dumber than hell if u cant tell all that crap is made up and photoshopped!!!!!GO BURN IN HELL!!
Skitlz – So, I need to burn in hell because I question pictures of Jon gosselin? Hmmm. Sounds like we have anutter here folks. All I can say is this – Stay away. I’m only requesting intellegent rebuttals at this time. Take your crazy elsewhere.
AMD – I’m sorry that you are undiagnosed! I hope that someday life gets easier for you … and I hear you on the reality show thing … I do enjoy a REAL show myself.
Nurse M – I find that interesting about Kate wanting to sue. On their own website they even say they don’t care what people think about them. Sounds weird. They are protesting a bit. Who knows. It could be true, it could be not true.
Mimi- You could be very right. It seems odd to me that she is constantly talking to media, acting goffy on camera, etc. She is on TMZ night after night. Its sad for all those kids.
PregoMom- Awesome, glad to have you on board!
Jessica – You know, you make sense. I don’t know them and I really don’t know what is best for them. I just hear so many other people who grew up on tv fall into crisis as young adults. i worry about kids. I want all kids to have safe and happy childhoods. I wonder how tv shows that broadcast kids pooping on camera isn’t going to be embarrassing at some point to them.
Bobbycat – Tell me about snow. Still wearing my wool coat and fleece pjs. Freezing here … I need spring.
I really don’t remember saying anything about Kate wanting to sue? Over what? I might have said that about the octuplets mother but I think that was over that “In Touch” article she said was all made up. Now her attorney is coming out saying she will be doing a reality show because it seems to be the only option open to her after the public outcry becasue she was going to apply for WIC. Such a disturbing story.
Nurse M – I don’t remember either. I’ve been racing to reply to all of the comments for a week now. She has a right to wic. Its for the kids, they have to be taken care of.
Skitlz — Jon admitted these pictures where him. No photoshop needed. Jon was out and about. How does that make us assholes, asshole?
Tn Snark – LOL, LOL, LOL!!!!
I watched Jon & Kate Mon night as they did another of their question answering sessions; the atmosphere seemed quited different like they weren’t connecting in the same way. I’,m not sure if this was a new or old taping but Kate was looking really thin and kept playing with those hoop earrings. That gets really distracting and irritating when someone does that – someone ought to tell her so.
I read alot of these posts but there were too many to finish. I saw the show for the first time tonight when visiting a friend (actually 3 shows – 1 recorded; 2 on air back to back). Almost immediately, I couldn’t stand Kate. I think she’s downright mean, especially to her husband….plus overbearing. She says Jon is the leader of their home but I know she wears the pants in the family.
Unfortunately, she reminds me of myself
all too often. Kate needs to (we all need to) realize how our words can be so cutting. We all have stress at different points in life. And I know it must be very stressful having that many young ones all together talking at the same time, etc… but she makes it more stressful by insisting on all her particulars. I can tell from watching just one show that Jon is unhappy. He barely smiled during the whole 3 episodes. The show needs to end and those two need a reality check to save their marriage before it’s too late!
you no what if yall think he’s cheating on kate yall are crazy in the head he is davoted to his wife and kids and yall are crazy why is it so impossable for a guy to go out and have a fan picture taken i mean serioucly yall need to back off of him cause all yall are doing is wrecking his family and making him rethink all the love and happy moments he’s had so yall can BACK OFF him because all yall are doing is chasing him and his family off air all they try to do is open their home and life up to the world which by the way MANY PEOPLE ENJOY so if yall are doumb enough to think he’s cheating yall are having diffeculties thinking.
sahmomof3, I believe that Kate’s attitude towards her husband and children has changed MANY mothers and wives to be the opposite of Kate.
She really shows us “What Not To Do.” Maybe that should be a TLC show?
It hurts to watch her which is why I stopped months ago.

GFTG – O absolutely love your blogs! Especially the video you did of them. Way too funny. Anyway, I just watched the The Bakery episode for the kids fourth b-day. John FINALLY went back at Kate a little bit, about letting the kids have fun and not to worry about the outfits. Maybe he’s finally growing back his balls. I loved the reason Kate said they didn’t do the carnival this year for there b-day was because the kids didn’t want it, they wanted just family. HELLLLO, Kate, I think the reason no carnival was who’s left to invite????
Polly – Oh, fantastic, I have been wanting to read that story, heard a bit of it from Amy.
Franny – You know, that wasn’t my video at all, I just found it on youtube. I thought it was funny, too. I love to hear you enjoy my posts, thank you for telling me. I think tomorrow is the new season, and I’m not sure if I want to keep writing about them. Sometimes the haters drive me nuts on here.
HI GFTG, I finally blogged about our silly stalking of Jon and Kate on my blog. (I live in Wernersville and J&K live a couple of miles away, for all the J&K lovers out there who read Girl’s blog.) Here’s the link – hope you like it! And let me know if you have any questions. Maybe I can think of something I forgot.

This is a resonse to the comment ‘katie’ left.
Are you f’in serious or was that comment a prank?
Seriously. If what you said & how you said it was not a joke, then…damn.
the gosselin family is not filmed twenty-four/seven.
its pretty possible that the TLC crew chooses footage that will continue to portray both jon and kate’s already established TV personalities.
kate – controlling.
jon – passive.
ever think that maybe we do not know them at all?
just an idea.
Dear Wow, whatever!
After watching ‘The Greed$lin$ Go Green$$’ this morning, there is NO editing Kate’s bitchiness. She’s a bitch of EPIC proportions! Too bad Steve Thomas didn’t walk the fuck off that property and scrap the episode. I know I would have hightailed it down that solar lit driveway post haste, with that C’s attitude. Ungrateful, unappreciative bitch.
Ok..I just finished waching Jon and Kate..Go Green episode. How can Kate think that her show is going to go on when she treats everyone so BADYLY?? That poor man from the renovation show must have been so happy when he was finished with the Gosselin’s home. Kate was truly nasty and should be made by TLC to apologize publicy on TV for her attitude. It was truly distastfeful and disrespectful. I agree with so many of the posts here that say many will NOT allow their children to watch this show anymore. I certanly will not allow my kisd to view this lady act like this anymoe either. Ive said it before..this show will be canceled one day..and where will they be without any jobs??? I cannot stand or stomach Kate anymoe. Who in hell gave her permission to act like that to not only her family..but friends and TLC themselves?? Its awful!! And..is it true that Jon left Kate and is living elsewhere?? If so..can you imagine his child support and alimiony?? and..how does that work when he doesn’t have a job?
Girlfromtheghetto..its been a while..how are you and how are you feeling??
Tammy
I would like to see most of you raise 8 children and not be stressed out. Those pictures… most likely random drunk college girls at a bar wanting to take pictures with a celebrity. If Jon and Kate didn’t have this show their children wouldn’t have half of the oppurtunities they do now, they would still be in a cramped house, clipping coupons just to be able to afford enough food to feed the children. I don’t get why everyone thinks that they know everything about other peoples life… Get 8 kids and then see if you still want to critisize.
Morgan – If your theory is correct, then why doens’t the Duggar mom or the other TLC mom w/two more kids than Kate act like that on tv? So, you believe its ok that people who can’t afford their children should get free stuff? If that theory is true then why aren’t you sending Octomom a check? People, get with the program and stop being suckers.
I would LOVE to see most of you raise 8 kids and be half as calm as Kate is. Everyone says Kate is such a bitch, I know I would be ten times worse. I don’t understand why everyone thinks they know so much about the Gosselins… If they had never done this show the children wouldn’t have half of the oppurtunites they do now, they would still be in a cramped house clipping coupons just to get by. Those pictures of Jon… most likely drunk college girls wanting to take a picture with a celebrity. They are a young family trying to do the best they can with tough circumstances, it would take a strong marriage with a lot of love to do it and I commend the Gosselin’s for doing as well as they do. So why don’t all of you try raising 8 children, and then see if you still want to critisize the Gosselins.
Wow – Of course I relize the show is edited to show the dramatic moments. Just like all reality tv shows. I’ve said it 100 times, but I’ll say it again. Those kids might have serious problems from growing up in the public eye, from people thinking their mom is mean, whatever. I don’t want to ever see any child hurt because I was a victim of child abuse and neglect myself. Get it?
Bobbycat – You always make me laugh. Greedlins go Green. LOL!
Tammy – Well said. People amaze me that they can’t even read a viewpoint different than my own. You would die laughing if you saw what some person named Spark Plug or something said to me today on another post. Seriously, go read it, it killed me! As for my health, not so good. Going to Mayo Clinic this week. I’m going to write a post tonight/tomorrow so look for it if you’d like. I hope you are doing well!!!
Girlfromtheghetto – Im sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. I was reading the diff posts earlier today and saw that you said you’re up alot at night b/c of pain. Im hoping that The Mayo Clinic will have some answers for you or at least a healthy way for you to deal with your pain. Im about 45 min from New York City..so if you’d like a referral to any of the NY/NJ Dr’s..I’d be HAPPy to help in anyway I can. Ive been a medic for a long time..so I know many DR’s in many specilaties. Id be happy to help you with any questions, etc. that you may have. And..I will def check out the post from SparkPlug!! LOL! People amaze me!
Morgan – If what you’re saying was true..then in order for Jon and Kate to properly raise 8 children(without the show) that would mean they’d have to HOLD DOWN A JOB!! Which..they’ve proven they cant! And..thats not me saying that. Those are the facts! They both are ONLY exploiting 8 kids to make money..and you think thats ok?? You think its ok to exploit 8 children just to make money? What is going to happen when the show is over and the money is gone? Both of these parents have burned every bridge they’ve ever had. Jon has had a bunch of jobs. And..Ive said this before. Im highly skeptical of Kate’s “so called” nursing job. I watched the episode called “surviving sextuplets” ( or whatever..cant remember the exact name) and Kate said she was a P/T Dialysis nurse( in an outpatient setting, too).not a Ob/GYN Nurse..get your story straight lady! Which is it? And..if raising 8 kids gives Kate permission to act the way she does..then Mrs. Duggar should be in a straight jacket!!! Kate is out right rude to all who come in contact with her! Id love to know how many of these “Kate Fans” would honestly respond if they saw 1st hand what Kate REALLY thinks of her fans..Kate doesn’t give a rats ass about any of us,TLC, her family and friends. She proved that! Kate cares about Kate!
TLC should make her publicly apologize for the way she treated Mr. Renovation Nation! That was horrible! I still dont get what TLC see’s in this boring, nasty, controlling woman and her circus freak family! Im tired of hearing how “cute” these kids are, too! Personally..I think TLC is using Kate ( b/c of her crazy ways and nasty attitude) just to gain ratings! But..when they drop Jon and Kate’s show..where are Jon and Kate gonna be? Does everyone think this family is set for life? That they’ll never have to work again? Either one of them? Whats gonna happen when these 6 kids go to school? How will they be treated by other kids and other parents? Probably not very well..and they only have their parents to blame. I know I would be highly skeptical of allowing my kids to play with her kids. God only knows what Kate would say or how she’d treat another person. More less a child! She can’t even act like a normal adult on TV! I can’t even fathom what she’s like without the camera’s!!
Bottom line is..I wouldn’t have such an issue with them if they’d just act like people who’ve been given such a grand oppurtunity. Act like the Christian you claim to be! true Christians dont act like this! True Christians are thanksful and giving! Not greddy and nasty!
God..I could go on and on..I truly hate this woman!! And..Id ove to see more pics of Jon and college kids!! That makes me die laughing! He’s a man with needs that I highly doubt are being met by the wicked witch of Pa!!! You go Jon!!!! LOL!!
Tammy – You always make the posts enjoyable for me. Its amazing how people think its ok to sell your children’s image or to go out bar hopping when you have nine people waiting for you at home. I feel that when you live in the public eye, you need to keep SOME personal stuff from the viewers.
Girl from the Ghetto; I am so sorry to hear you are in so much pain. If you are going to Mayo they have specialists in just about everything so hopefully they can figure it out and do something effective. We actually live within a hundred miles of there. The wheather should be getting better next week.
Nurse M – Too bad you ween’t a nurse there! I hear its going to be HOT? Yikes, I hate heat. But yes, I have a feeling they will determine how I got Dysautonomia. Some of my doctors, well, suck, or just can’t handle all of my shit. I meet a doc in the ER last week who gave me his card and told me to call him, he wants my case because its complicated and he’s treated someone with dysautonomia. I’m thrilled!
Girl – Well, I’ll say a prayer for you. That you are able to get the answers and the treatment you that you so need and deserve. No one should live in constant pain. Thats a horrible way to live. Im hoping that The Mayo Clinic will have answers and more importantly a way for you to start feeling better. I’ll be thinking of you…Tammy
I watched the show last night where the traveled back to revisit the NICU where the sextuplets spent about six weeks; It was rather touching when they talked about how special and memorable it was when they were there after the birth of the babies with just the twins and how that was the end of a much simpler time. They appeared to be grieving the loss of that “family” they had been. They indicated it was anything but heaven when they brought home the babies to the condo they were staying in and started adjusting to their new life. It sounds like those memories are anything but special and enjoyable. I hope the little ones don’t grow up to see that episode and wonder if their parents regretted ever having them. Of course now their lives are much different as instead of working and living normal lives they have turned their family into a business. Neither one was working for a time after the birth and neither is working in any other position now. How are they any different than Octomom?
Jon Boy made this week’s cover of US.
http://www.usmagazine.com/news/jon-and-kate-dad-caught-with-other-woman-2009284
Did anyone see the article in Entertainment Weekly? I guess Jon was caught at a bar with another woman at 2:00am. Kate also is commented as saying “the show hasn’t changed me, but has changed peoples perception of me.” If Kate has always been like this, why did Jon ever marry her?
OMG – He was pictured leaving a bar at 2 am with a woman. Jon is quoted as saying that she was just a friend that he has both female and male friends. hmmmm. This happened to someone I worked with, she treated her husband like garbage and he did everything for her but she was floored when went looking for love elsewhere. I’m not a fan of Kate and I don’t like the way she treats Jon but he should h ave been standing up to her all along instead of the cowards way out. That’s what happens with people that achieve fame they like the lifestyle but not the intrusion in their lives. You know the saying if you can’t take the heat don’t stay in the kitchen

ooooooo and I believe Kate has changed if you watch the earlier episodes she was much more humble than in the later ones where you can tell she thinks she’s all that
Maybe Jon feels like they have now finished taping their last season so he can break loose. As for alimony he shouldn’t have to pay that because is making money off books and appearances. If he goes back to work, then of course he will have to think about child support. I wonder how that works, if they continue to have money coming in as these episodes air over and over.
You know what just leave them alone! He went out get over it, people like y’all are what destroyed a marriage all the rumors in tell they can’t handle it. you go Kate do not listen to all the horrible people in this world listen to john and just think what y’all are doing to these kids because y’all have no lives!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow Tina have you read the entire blog? and I don’t think you should criticize someones life when you just bashed someone’s opinion.
people like y’all are what destroyed a marriage
If this is true than that marriage was very weak to begin with.
On Radar Online there’s a report that Jon was caught kissing a girl passionately in the stairway of a motel, the America’s Best Value Inn; then they left with her driving his car. OOps!
Enjoyed reading the blog. I couldn’t help but laugh at all the people saying you need to get a life especially that person “RI” but good job.
Sounds like alot of u r jealous cause they made alot of money. They did not want to do the show in the very beginning and they knew they could not afford 8 kids plus send them to college so why not do the show. Can u imagine what the food bill is? Granted she is nasty but how much sleep can they possibly get with kids and cameras. The worst thing is the table of 12 show,already had 4 kids but lets have more and take the chance of having disabled children and quess what they had one.Shes like that because of her parents selfishness.Now that is disgusting.Now down to the fact that if all these families were not on tv we would be supporting them cause neither family could do it themselves. Foodstamps,medical and cash assistance plus grants for college.Give some credit for taking care of it themselves. It is not easy raising 1 child and supporting them more or less 8 or 10. The disabled girl ontable of 12 will always get assistance forever from the government.
There is no excuse for selling your kids privacy. Parents have supported huge families for centuries without selling naked pictures of their kids or humiliating family on TV. Table for 12′s father has a job and supports his family. I don’t agree with them having more kids but at least they treat each other and their kids with respect. Kate’s kids are ignored, pushed away, called names and, in my opinion, neglected by their parents.
Kate was just as selfish as the Hayes family. She had healthy twins which most infertile mothers would be thrilled with but she needed “just one more” and even though her ovaries were overstimulated she went ahead and did the deed. Of course she wasn’t going to reduce . . . how else would she be able to fleece the right-to-lifers. If she loves these blessing so much she needs to be home with them and not gallivanting all over the country hawking a masturbation manual.
All of this talk about J&K is just sinful gossip…it should stop at once.
Oh yeah, Kate is pretty and I would like to have sex with her.
ha ha, I’ll stop all this sinful gossip when they stop sinning and get off of my TV, magazines, and everywhere else I look.
Tina. We are not destroying the marriage. We didn’t take the vows twice!!! KON is doing a good job of destroying it themselves. We will not take responsibility of hurting these children. It is their parents!!!!! You Tina must not have a life either..
Is it really true that they have all ready stopped filiming J&K Plus * and the it’s FINALLY the end of that damm show ( As Nurse M posted earlier?)..If so..Thank God!
And..as far as the alimony, Jon would def have to pay her alimony! Usually ( and Im from NJ..so I know the alimony situaltion well b/c I receive alimony myself) is that if a couple is married for more than 8 years.and esp if they have kids ( alot of them, too..lol) that if JOn should move out from the home he would be obligated to send her alimony and def alot of child support. The big question here is neither one of them has a job, per say. They have this show and Im sure other additional income coming in as a result of this show. But, my question is, who has control of the money? Do they have a contract in case they should split up? Im not really sure how that would pan out for Jon and Kate if they should split! My other opinion on that is..if they DO split, I will gauntee you that Kate will be a total witch! Beacuse if they split..its the END Of anything they wouild have had left styaing in the “money”spotlight! WHat company or Tv is going to want them with JOn gone and Kate all crazy b/c the ONE person who she ever had a chance with left her sorry ass!
I would feel bad for those kids if that happened. It would be impossible for them to lead normal lives if Kate was their SOLE provider. You all know that Kate would make it SO hard for Jon to see those kids. She’d have all sorts of restrictions ( like NO other woman with the kids unless it’s Kate)..It would be the beginning of a LONG war between those two! And..remember Kate wrotte of all of her friends and her family! So..my guess is she’d be alone for this ride. Its her own fault, though. She wrote them off, not us.
Maybe she’ll have to give back the 1.3 million dollar house..lol. Oh and that nasty spray tan! Gross! Between that peacock hair with the blonde stripes and that awful spray tan ( when its obvious that its 20 degree’s in Pa when they filmed the later shows for 2009). IDK..she’s just WAY to fake for my taste. How does she have all that time to get her tan, hair done, etc. when she has 8 kids?? LOL..For real, lady!
I wouldn’t doubt for 1 second JOn is out there struuing his stuff! He’s rich, kind acute, he works out, he’s a nice guy. If 1 girl shows him the love and respect he’s looking for..he’s gonna jump on that.
We’ll just have to see, I guess. Thanks for all the great facts! Its always good to relax and read these posts! People really have great insight about this family. And..I enjoy reading everyone’s opinion and facts as the show goes on! TY..Tammy
Jon doesn’t have a job so Kate would have to pay HIM alimony. She’s obviously capable of supporting herself, I guess you are not.
I’m sorry, that sounded mean and I didn’t intend it too. I’m bitter because right now I don’t get ANYTHING from my kids’ father and I’m on the verge of loosing everything I have. Sorry about my sarcasm.
TV Snark – Hey, feel free to be sarcastic anytime. Go to the new KON post … guess whose back? Dead Leanna from the grave. You’ll love it.
I have a problem with alimony. I don’t know her situation so I felt my tone was more than rude.
I still have a problem with alimony.
Wow – I AM able to support myself and my 2 kids. Ive been a paramedic/firefighter for 15 plus years now. I also understand what its like NOT to get anything from the “other” parent. But, through alot of reserach I was able to motion the courts here in NJ myself and get a decent amount of money from the “baby daddy” without a lawyer. I went through 5 years of having a lawyer who did nothing for me and finally I gave up and just wrote my own motion, attached what proof I had and asked the Judge MYSELF to assist me. So..after 5 LONG years of constant fighting..I walked out of the courthouse a happy woman! I would be happy to assist you in anyway I can ( it sounds as if you’re at your wits end with your kids father).
Honestly..at 1st I was annoyed at your comment to me..But, after doing some thinking, I thought I was just as angry as you are now, this time last year.
Anyway..Id be happy to help you find your way to getting money and supoprt for your children. I learned SO much in the past few years and Id be happy to pass my knowledge along to you..
Lastly..you probably understand WHY this show makes me SO angry. This woman gets to acts like a total pyscho and get paid for it. She gets to treat her husband like an ass on TV every Monday. SHe ven gets to put her sick toddler on a cold floor and get away with it. She has NOTHING to offer society! This family gets paid TONS of money to be abusive on TV to her family and what pisses me off is she gets away with it! Im sick of people saying “Im jeolous”..Im not jeoulos of Kate. What I am is sick of her, the kids, her crazy “pretend to be born again Christian” attitude. If this family was SO perfect ( as her fans seem to think) then lets see them give back a little more. But, you WONT ever see that b/c Kate wants everything to herself andif she has to expose her 8 kds to a cruel world to have “nice things”..then obviously she’s gonna do that! It sickens me. Most people would have had CPS at their door by now if we were to act like that. Thats the way I feel..my opinion.
I’m sorry if I misled with my statement about the last filming. They have completed filming for their fifth (this) season and I am guessing they won’t be back due to the age of the tuplets and the fact they will be in “real” school next year. I suppose they could continue, but with the growing unpopularity of Kate and the possible marital problems it would seem unlikely. I do enjoy watching the little kids in the show but the older ones are really worrisome with the behaviors and expressions we are seeing. I also can’t help thinking that they are all getting the idea that the whole world revolves around them everywhere they go and that just isn’t so or won’t be once they are no longer little and cute. The twins look so cute and happy in early episodes; now they just look cranky and sad. It would be a mess if Jon & Kate really did split up and they had to figure out how to divide assets and custody of the children. It seems like Jon is the major caretaker at this point as Kate is often gone and when home puts things like baths and wiping bottoms off on him. By the way, aren’t most children able to wipe their own bottoms by the time thier old enough for kindergarten? It seems like these kids, at least the boys yell for someone else to do it for them. Jon in a recent after show session commented that he was really sick of cleaning up poop from everyone and in the first show in the new house Joel is yelling for someone to wipe his hiny for him. What’s up with that anyway.
Listen, this is just sad that these kids are going to have to go through this becuase their father is a jackass… Secondly, you hate Kate because she loves her children and will do anything for them. If she was so awfult he children would not just love her so much and want their mommy so much. You have no idea what you are writing about. Do Jon and her fight? Yes. Do Jon and her not get along? Yes. Do we know what it is really like all the time? NO! We do not. She is a good mother and they did this show so they both can be home. And the kids have grown up with the cameras around them. They know the crew as part of their family. Is that sad in some ways? YES! It is but STILL I do not think they just do it so they can get a head in the world… People love their show and love their kids.. If you watch a certain episode where they go to a baseball game EVERYONE who was in the suite with them and the baseball players they met were all talking about how much THEY loved they show and that is why they invited them…
Who was home with the kids when Jon was out drinking and Kate was out signing books?
The crew has changed constantly. They are not family, they are workers who get paid to be there.
I’m going to take a guess, via the emblem, that you’re from Detroit. Me too! I, in fact, just moved to NYC 4 months ago because the city is in shambles along with the employment market (Michigan is the worse in the country right now at nearly 13%!). That being said, and I do mean this respectively as a fellow Detroiter, why do you care? There are so many other things to worry about right now. Let them worry about their relationship and possible divorce and spend your time worrying about you or writing about some particularly ghetto-ness as I’m missing it right now
Ok. Why do you care what she writes about? Don’t like it, move on.
TLC needs to cancel all these shows with people raising giant families. Way to send a message that it’s so happy and beautiful to overpopulate the planet. (Not to mention that you can’t properly nurture your children when you have so many you can’t give them appropriate individual attention. Sorry Jon and Kate…taking your kids on individual outings once a year doesn’t cut it.)
These people they feature are selfish. It would be one thing if they adopted, but to purposely produce 18 children? Not only that, but we have to swallow their religious agendas, as well?
This is not entertaining and I refuse to watch TLC in protest. Let’s feature families who are responsible, ethical, and educate their children in science. These TLC programs are trash – an exercise in featuring how NOT to raise a family. Idiocracy at its finest.
I agree!
TLC stands for Total Lack of Class.
Gee, I wonder where Octomom got her idea from??
Snarky, you are on a roll tonight! LOL, and I’m sorry about what’s going on with you.
Kyli – I try, I try…
Pingback: Jon Gosselin Gets Caught With ANOTHER Woman, Again « The Girl from the Ghetto
Hey everyone – Thanks for the well wishes. I’m finding out all sorts of things @ Mayo. I’m very tired but felt I had to write a post about the latest Kon scandel. Lets move the discussion there. Just go to my home page to find it.
Hi! I’m so glad your finding things out and also so glad to see you on here. Yes, things are getting interesting out there. I don’t know how they can keep doing this show with the kind of scandal that is brewing about this “all american dream family”. Maybe this explains why the twins look so troubled lately. Doing a show like that has got to put a tremendous amount of stress on the whole family. I sure hope they had the mortgage on that new house paid because they just can’t afford that kind of payments and taxes on the salaries of a nurse and an IT person. It really is very sad to think about how it will affect those children who are used to being treated like princes and princesses
This has gotten nuts! Those pics on here are from MY personal facebook! I put these up because he is a celebrity from my favorite show, everrrr. I think the tabloids are such crap. He’s going out to get away from the stress of becoming a celebrity overnight, having no privacy, and a wife that treats him like her 9th child. Big dealllll. If I thought he was such a creep, I would have sold those pictures. But I don’t, and he was fine, well behaved all night.
Am I understanding you to say that somebody lifted those pictures form you facebook? I mean as in the media who were reporting it or do you mean our Girlinthe ghetto?
Nurse M – Who knows? I find my stuff on photobucket. She has to realize that anyone who posts on a social networking site has to protect their pictures from being shared. At least on myspace you can hit a button that will protect your pictures from being forwarded or copied. Or, she can be some random crazy person on KON’s team pretending to be some girl who claims her private pics were taken from her facebook page. All I know is this, unless you are someone’s friend on Facebook, you can’t view their pictures or info. So … I’m going with the thought that she’s a KON loonie making it all up.
More people need to be aware that when you upload pictures to sites like Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, Photobucket, and even wordpress you are giving up the rights to your images. Because they host them, they own them and have the right to even resell them if they want. It’s all in the terms of use agreement that you agree to when you sign up, and of course don’t read!
Thank you!!!! My wife watches this show because she thinks the kids are cute. However you can totally tell that the whole thing is a farce. John is the man. The fact that he was hooking up with college chicks makes me like him even more. His wife is a controlling B. and you can tell by the look on his face that he wants nothing more then to punch her in the face.
IB – you made me and the hubby laugh, and hard. Right on!
I think Kate gets a little too much of a bad wrap. That being said, she’s no one I’d want to live with.
Jon isn’t exactly man of the year, now is he? I’d rip my hair out if my husband was off getting a hot dog while I managed 8 kids at a theme park. I don’t care if she’s got outside help or not. Those are his kids.
Yeah, yeah…Kate’s off on a book tour making more money for the family and where’s Jon? Playing beer pong with college girls at 2 am. You never hear about Kate running that kind of game. Probably because she’s just so damn perfect.
Bottom line: what’s right is right. Jon was wrong. I don’t care how big a bitch Kate might be. Don’t do your wife like that, playah! Be a real man and divorce the cow, then make her pay you alimony and get some smokin hot model chick to run around with and play mommy to your kids on the weekends. Don’t pussyfoot around dive bars while the wife’s away. WEAK.
I thought you had to be accepted as a friend to have access to pictures on facebook; I do have an account there and do some conservation and picture sharing back and forth with my grandaughters and I know I couldn’t access their facebook until they invited me. Luckily they like me and trust me well enough to do that. You’re probably right about the KON thing. I was just trying to make her clarify what she was accusing you of. Have a good night. Millie
Listen I don’t care how Kate comes accross for the sake of his family and 6 kids he needs to have some dignity and respect. Can you imagine what those poor girls (Maddie and Kara) are going through at school with all this crap in the media. If he was a real man he would keep it in his pants and be an adult about all this. I challenge any one of you to be a prent of 6 for a week and see if your not a bit cranky and snipy like miss Kate.
You do not have to be someones friend on facebook to see their photo albums unless you choose to hide them…thus nixing the entire point of posting an album in the first place.. in order to see personal photos that someone is tagged in from their photo album, you DO have to accept a friend request…which is probably what you’re referring too..
I know for a fact that they’re from her personal facebook album..a facebook album made because seeing a local celeb like Jon out and around is fun to show your FRIENDS! I laughed out loud and had to see for myself when i got a message from her that pictures from her photo album were posted on some gossip blog..and now I’m a little taken aback with these crazy assumptions like KON things?? and accusations??… the only thing I’m wondering now is how many of my own personal photos are being taken from my page and posted all over the internet just to be bashed on by strangers without my knowledge…or to be used against people they don’t even know…talk about accusations.
Well this is just ridicoulous for you to beleive these stupid ass tabloids! Do you not know how these magazine companies work? They just want a story and they do not care if it is true or not! I do not believe these stories at all. Do they have sources to show for what they write? No they do not! Do you see pictures of jon kissing other women or being all over them. No he is just posing in these pictures with a girl and smiling its called a fan picture! Yea he may look drunk but maybe he looks drunk because of his bad sunburn cause it does make the face look a bit puffy or maybe he was drunk but he was not misbehaving with these women there are no pictures to prove it! People need to give this guy a break. So what he goes out and has a good time and is taking a break from his children and wife. What is that not allowed? You people make assumptions on stories that do not have sources what so ever. You believe everything the media tells you. Your all brainwashed morons!
I need to add to my comment also after reading everyone’s comments. Yeah Kate does have an attitude and she does bash Jon allot but all couples have problems. People are not perfect! If i were Kate i would act the same for Christ sake she has eight kids! She can only do so much! They both put 50/50 into watching there children Kate prepares meals while Jon gives them to the children Kate washes clothes while Jon dresses them etc… You keep going on and on about all these magazines and interviews but honestly do you all believe what you see and read? pathetic i must say! As for Kate going around promoting her books.. Good for her she wants to share her experience on being a mother to eight children to her fans. I say Kate is a smart woman for how she promotes herself and her family all she wants to do is provide her eight children and her and Jon with the best. If anyone was given that opportunity I’m sure they would do it also. Also did you ever stop to think that maybe Kate’s parents are not on the show because they don’t want to be? Not all people want to be on television. I respect all of you for having your own opinions on the matter you can say anything you wish and i am just stating my opinion also that’s what blogging is for right?
oh, you people. why can’t we be just happy for them? why the hatred? although we watch them on the show, we do not know them as much that we can judge them like this. we have no right. not at all.
I can’t wait for the “True Hollywood Story”.
Danielle – this marriage is in trouble.
Yes, Danielle you are welcome to state your opinion and especially if you do not cal us morons for what we think.; That is what blogs are for and this one is not usually the site of “gang bullying” like you see on some other sites.
Im not sure what to believe now with the status of Jon and Kate’s marriage. I mean from what I saw on TV..Jon was caught “red handed” with that college girl. SHE was driving his car. He went home with her. You cant tell me that Kate didn’t freak out on him! Jon probably just did the worst thing he could have done to ruin that show they have together. Its supposed to be a family show. Now..it’s a soap opera. I heard that Jon isn’t living in the Pa mansion anymore either ( Im NOT sure if thats true..or just a rumour). But, either way, this show is in big trouble.
Ftom what I’ve read and also on Fox’s Morning Show with Mile and Juliett stated this past Friday that not only was Kate rude on air but was rude behing the camera’s while being interviewed on the show a few months ago. They also aired the pics of Jon with that woman and “confirmed” that he had cheated b/c he’s unhappy with being Jon and Kate Plus 8..Not just Jon Gosselin.
Personally – I think Jon’s had enough with Kate. I think she’s getting worse with being famous and having tons of money. They are under a contract..so I heard they’ve added a 5th season. But..I think we’re nearing the end of this show. TLC isn’t going to want this drama on a cookie cutter clean family show. Plus..it seems that even Kate’s biggest fans are getting kind of tired of her! I see it on these blogs all the time. even the blogs where it seemed everyone was on her side. Not anymore. This latest drama with Jon sure did leave a bad taste in people’s mouth’s!
I thought I read that the fifth was the one they just finished filming. It’s hard to believe they would even want to keep filming with the sextuplets all in kindergarten; I guess they could do it during the summer. Actually it would make more sense to just to occasional documentaries or maybe something like the Duggars do. I suppose Kate could go to homeschooling to keep going a little longer. Her kids all seem to be really smart.
Danielle _ I hear what you’re saying. Yes..of course Jon is allowed to go out and have fun with other people. We all do from time to time. But..dont you think it was odd that these tabloids actually have a picture of Jon allowing a young girl to drive his car? I mean..come on! Didn’t he know that soemone was going to post that all over the place? On top of that..look at the last episode of JOn and Kate..where JOn was talking about not being the same guy anymore. All b/c of that show. He said that..not us or the tabloids. He looked sad and depressed.
I say that it wouldn’t have been that big of a deal if Jon was out with people his own age..maybe some friends ( not that the poor guy has any anymore b/c of his nasty wife). But..for real..what did he expect when he posed with a young college gilr, allowed him to drive his car, and apperently went back to her home or whatever. The tabloids abviously followed him. He did this to himself. And..the fact that most of us are getting tired of Kate’s attitude and nastiness on TV..this clearly did NOT help that situation of trying to make this family look as if ” they’ve got it all going for them”. They clearly do not. Kate thinks she’s a movie star now. Look at her, she thinks she’s the “Sh*%!! ANd..in MY opinion..she’s FAR from being MY hero. My hero doesn’t treat her husband like that. My hero doesn’t expose her children to a big, cruel world just to make money. Im happy that they were able to make money to help their family strive to do many things that thye probably couldn’t ( if it weren’t for the show) But..I can’t sit there and watch this woman conduct herself in such a crazy manner anymore. I will NOT allow my 2 children watch anymore after my 10 year old daughter ask me ” why is that woman SO mean to the daddy??” I wish TLC would just find another family already..lol. Im bored with J&K Plus 8 now..
Just found this site and was amused by the comments. My friends and I have watched the show from the beginning. First show to see the kids, from then on to check out how awful Kate was to Jon. I am a grandmother who has known hundreds of couples and that woman is the rudest, most inconsiderate wife I’ve ever run across. I’m certainly no counciler, but there is a certain level of acceptable behavior and her actions scrape the bottom of the barrel. We could all see this coming, you can’t constantly humiliate a person without that person eventually acting out.
Becka – Thank so for saying something that seems very obvious to me “you can’t constantly humiliate a person.” You’ve hit the nail on the head, and thank you for sharing that with all of us.
Tammy – Exactly. I mean EXACTLY. If your child can see it, why can’t every single adult see it?
Nurse M – You know, people here forgot that I loved the show once. It was great seeing those kids grow up. They showed how hard it was, the earned a bag full of money, and know the little ones are in school. From what I’ve heard from scores of other childhood stars, being famous didn’t make school easy for them.
I loved them to and seldom missed a show. I still watch them because the kids are so cute but show has definitely gone downhill. You wonder how long before that happens to the Hayes family on Table for 12 or even the Duggars. Unlike some on here I really like the Duggars but that is probably because I share a lot of their religious principles; I still remember how shocked I was when I realized that an IUD stops an embryo from implanting or to me causes that baby/child to die. I only have four children but its probably a good thing I didn’t have that realization earlier or I wonder how many children I would have had! In other words I have very mixed feelings about it.
Liz said- “Finally, are people really that misinformed to believe that fertility drugs instantly make you pregnant with six or eight babies? Come on people. First off, Kate did not have embryos implanted, and if you’ve been that clueless to the news lately, the “Octomom” and doctors who assisted with that are being severely criticized for doing it. So obviously that doesn’t happen very often. The percentage of multiple-birth pregnancies that result from taking fertility drugs is very, very low. Kate has said she wasn’t trying for multiples–she was having trouble getting pregnant so she took the drugs, knowing that the chance of multiples was very slim. As she has said, she is a multiple-birth nightmare. But I do think it’s entertaining that people act like she was this woman who sat around plotting to have six children, start a tv show, gain fortune and fame, and rule the world. Right.”
But, (there’s always a but) Kate was hospitalized for overstimulated ovaries and went through the IUI procedure ANYWAY. If that isn’t “plotting” for multiples, I don’t know what is.
This information is based on what she wrote on their own website. Screenshots do exist if you care to verify.
My opinion? Kate had such a lavish amount of attention payed to her after the twins she wanted to repeat the experience.
I wouldn’t blame Jon if he is stepping out; she has clearly and consistently emasculated him before the entire nation. Just once I would like to see him slap her back, and yes I am a woman, but I believe in the golden rule. Both of them are money-grubbing scammers.
WOW I love Jon and kate plus eight and I don’t think someone is going to have 6 babies at once just for money. It’s not like they knew they were going to be on this show and get help like they have from it. stop hating.
What flavor is the kool-aid?
I know exactly what you mean! My husband and I have 3 boys that are close in age, then we each have teen daughters from previous relationships. It is hard for us to keep up with just the 3 boys, let alone be one man taking care of 8! She is a shame to motherhood! One episode she’s asking the two older girls to bring her things, all the while she’s also letting the oldest daughter boss all the other kids while she just sits back and chills. Then recently I caught part of an episode where they’re going to the zoo. The father is doing everything, and she just acts like retarded cow! I can’t stand to even watch an entire show! That woman is not worthy of having those kids, I know couples that don’t have children that would give any one of them a better life, than to be paraded around like “OctoMom” babies! What happen to parents wanting to be parents? Parenting has responsibilities!
RE: Danielle Gorski
Honey, I’ve been with my husband for 11 yrs. and to speak to each other like that is disrespectful. My husband would NEVER speak to me like that, and I’d NEVER speak to my husband like that. We are equals, we do love each other, and most importantly We RESPECT each other. I’ve been married to a guy who treated me like Kate acts towards Jon, it’s controlling, degrading, and shameful. If you think that is OK, you are way off. Marriage is a commitment, a relationship, and a partnership.
Now, as for equal partnerships, Kate bosses Jon around to the point I think he just nods his head and does what he’s told. Kate promoting her book. My husband and I would probably be a lot more successful ourselves. Instead we decided being good parents, and put our need for success to the side. It is our choice to make our children our success, and parading them on tv for a paycheck is not being successful parents. That is using your kids. And where is the privacy? Marriages need privacy. If a couple can go this long letting people invade their privacy this much, they don’t have a marriage, they have a TV show. I wouldn’t doubt if they “emotionally” broke up a long time ago, and just play happy couple for the cameras and the money.
Wow I love Jon And Kate plus eight and it sounds like someone is a hater. Mind your own business.
You can click.
Tammy
I still do not believe any of those tabloids so what Jon got pictured letting some woman drive his car does that mean he is automatically cheating on his wife? My guy friend drives my car sometimes does that mean I’m cheating on my husband? He doesn’t seem to think so. Just because they got a picture of it does not mean anything. Paparazzi take pictures of anything then the tabloids go out and make stories about it. I can look at any celebrity picture and make a complete fake story out of it and put it out in a magazine and people would believe it just because there is a picture. Honestly i think Kate acts normal i do not think she acts like she is the shyt to me she seems normal acting. Anything the tabloids come out with i refuse to believe because they have no sources to back it up what so ever. Who knows maybe they are having problems maybe they are not. Nobody knows because they are not there. But i love the show and i love the both of them and there children. I think they both do a very good job with raising them even Maddy. But yeah think whatever you want that’s just my opinion. Btw i think it is just awful for you all to talk so much crap about people you do not even know personally! But whatever do what you want
Hey KOOL-AID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, another delusional sheeple in Danielle Gorski. I pity the fool.
After all the tabloid’s “fake” stories, they Konpound mixed up a few extra batches of the kool-aid for the sheeple who ALMOST used there minds and eyes.
Anyone that believes that it’s okay for Kate to talk to her husband and children the way she does, has not been in a verbally abusive relationship. Not only does Kate say cruel things it’s also the manner in which she says them. As far as the children are concerned, let me preface my comment by saying I do not have 8 children. But I have NEVER seen more crying and whining in my entire life. When the younger children were babies, it was understandable. But now that they are all older, the temper tantrums need to stop and Mady needs an “attitude adjustment”.
Jean – Well said. People forget that its not ok to be mean to someone just because life is stressful.
BUT SHE HAS 8 KIDS!!!!
(just kidding, she has 9)
I can tell you that from what I have watched is that kate is a manipulating control freak. This is evident by how she talks to Jon and how she treats him. With that said, I think the guy is a major bonehead if he is out having an affair. I don’t condone it, or believe in it. But just from what I have seen is that Kate has to have everything her way ALL THE TIME. Not to mention that little brat Mady is starting to acy exactly like Mommy. Nest thing, cancel the show, and bring that pretty pretty princess Kate back down to earth, although I truly think her head is stuck somewhere else. She is using the kids as a meal ticket. Jon, get out now, yes you’re going to pay child support, but get out now before that harpy sucks the life from you.
I don’t Jon and Kate can afford to divorce to be quite honest. What would child support be for 8 kids?
I notice they started showing them taking the kids to Sunday school and such about two years back, don’t know who they are trying to impress with that. Jon and kate need couples counseling, I agree with the person who mentioned about the complete lack of respect with which they address one another. She does come across and a shrew on the show, but sometimes he comes across as a real dumbass too.
Since they moved into the new 1.3 million dollar house the show has been boring. She’s really gotten a snooty attitude now too, she finally got a house bigger and better than her best friend.
I think they need to take a break and learn how to be a real family away from the camera’s and maybe do a yearly show around the holidays or something.
He has a hit TV show and you have this um, unknown website. Get a clue or a life or something.
Joe – Hmmm, my blog has over 1.3 million hits … and somehow you found your way here. I wouldn’t say my website is unknown. But nice try… and besides, why is some dude commenting on some random unknown website on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Shouldn’t you be out drinking beer and scratching your balls rather than visiting and commenting on posts about the Gosselins? Grow a pair dude.
What’s your point? I guess you want the show to continue so you can keep “enjoying” the children, right? Good for you.
Hey I LOVE THE SHOW JON AND KATE PLUS 8 AND YOU PEOPLE ON HERE ARE VERY VERY MEAN!! MEENIE PANTS MEENIE PANTS
You people are lame! maybe you should spend more time worried about your own lives! And a heck of alot less on the Gosslins! What do any of you are weather they get devorced or not? I am confused! Why is it you went through all the trouble to write a blog of negativety? How is that good for anyone?
Publicity good or bad will only make them more money so in reality all you are doing is helping them! I’m sure though you knew that?
Go cook your kids dinner or play with them instead of worring about what other people do with their children. If they break any laws reguarding their children well there are enough cameras around to catch it and put them in jail. So chill out and get a life!
Chrissy – Let me same the same to you. Why are you trolling the web for KON gossip? Go get your own life. BTW, my kids are in bed….
This has got to be the best passage a have ever seen!! Really girl, this is great!!!
Bobbycat please do not call me delusional or a fool for the things i like or believe in its my opinion so please do not judge me for what i say thanks
I calls ‘em likes I sees um. Sweetheart, you need to open your eyes and ears to what is REALLY going on with this family.
Well i guess you all can keep going arguing about jon and kate but its not going to do much. The show is not going to get shut down just because you all want to boycott it by not watching it anymore. They have a million of fans who will keep watching it. I’m sure it will go off the air sometime but i do not think it will happen anytime soon. So therefor i am just going to stop wasting my time arguing my points across because its useless. But anyway nice blog.
What a cheater! And then if he goes with another girl, She (Kate) Will LOSE the show that gave them Millions of dollars every like 2 months! CHEATER!
First of all, you KNOW how the media blows things out of porportion — people want to see other’s FAIL, or else it wouldn’t be interesting right? So why don’t you stop speculating and GET OFF THEIR BACK, you are one of the reasons this whole thing is getting out of control. NORMAL couples have a hard enough time staying together with one kid, they have 8! I think they are absolutely amazing, i love their show and i think they are amazing with their kids. you’re idiot. thats all i gotta say.
Okay you guys need to stop worrying about other peoples lives and take care of your own! Leave jon and kate alone already, give them some room to breathe and stop overanalzing their every move. They seem like really great people and if other people stopped digging their noses into other peoples private lives and posting videos comments and pictures all over the web of their every move (Ahemm this means YOU TMZ) then maybe the two wouldnt have all these problems to begin with!! These two people used to be happy together and look what all the vultures out there have done to them! Jon and Kate i wish you best of luck and i hope you can stay together through all this crap.
Harvey Levin just called. Because of your post on this blog he is re-thinking his million dollar empire and he will stop posting things that offend you.
Yeah, right. TMZ doesn’t live here.
The Gosselins have problems because they sold their kids souls to the highest bidder. Any marriage that can be influenced by media and gossip is not a strong marriage to begin with.
How are they great? By selling their kids? Printing a masturbation manual for pedophiles or by eliminating all the extended family from the kids lives?
I’m watching an old episode where J & K go to church, then some castle playground place to have a picnic. First the beyotch tells him she wants a blanket down for the little kids in the sun. As soon as he unloads all the crap, she changes her mind and wants to sit at a picnic table. Then she has the damn nerve to wonder why he’s crabby! If he did that to her, she would pull his nuts up through his throat! Then they go to this purple ice cream place, and she’s bitching at the kids for running and playing in the grass. They are freaking kids bitch! Even the one twin is heard saying, “can’t you just let them have fun?” Then they showed a preview of the new season 5 coming May 25 and they are in the kitchen cooking with Emerill and he says to Kate shh leave him alone (meaning Jon). She smacks Emerill on the damn arm with a spatula! Who the hell does this bitch think she is! He should have hauled off and knocked her on her ass!, Now that’s good tv! As far as Jon’s latest escapades at 2 am. with the other woman, I don’t doubt he’s running around, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but who could blame the guy. Him getting photographed like that is just his passive/aggressvie way of getting back at her for constantly emasculating him in public. This whole marriage is a sinking ship. The poor kids will be the ones to suffer for her stupid greediness. I understand they need to support their kids, but she has taken it to the next level of greed. Kate needs to refocus herself on her family instead of promoting “her” career. Just my opinions.
Ok..so ALL of the Kate fans out there..You mean to tell me that if your husband or boyfriend was caught on camera with a college girl..driving HIS car at 2am..that you’d all be ok with that? That he was “just having a good time with a friend” Bull Shit! I know Id be VERY upset if my husband did that to me. The man KNOWS he has a TV show thats making him tons of money ( so that HE doesn’t have to work, god forbid!) And..more importantly..he has 8 kids at home who DONT need to see there Daddy out with another girl. Anyway you put it, tabloids or not..thats definatly Jon in those photo’s at 2am with a young gilr driving HIS car. I dont care WHO took the pics. I thought this was supposed to be a wholesome family show. I thought that Jon and Kate were such “Christians” with their love offerings, etc. I know I wouldnt wanna give them a dime after seeing what I saw in those pics. Jon and Kate are HUGE phony’s. They know it and most of the world knows it. I think we haven’t seen the last of what skeletons are in their closets. I think this family is on a downward spiral. But..whats sad is the 8 kids will def feel the strain of their parents realtionship and once that show is over..probably the financial aspect as well. I think J&K are burning through this money faster than they get it. Who knows..maybe after the 5th season we wont have to look at Kate’s spray tan and pea cock hair. More importantly..her nasty attitude!
All u guys are talking all this shit as if u dont have a family of ur own. As if u dont ever give attitude to ur husband/wife. As if u guys r not greed. As if u guys r perfect. Fuck all that bullshit!!! U guys r all just hating because they have been doing good for so long, and now that Jon slipped u guys r going all against them. U have been hating on the show since it first started. Now that there is a possability it might all come to an end, u r happy n wish them the worse. What kind of human beings would do that?? None of us r perfect!! We all make mistakes!!! We all trip on rocks along the way, and u dont see no one rubbing it in ur face!!! Jon knows he did wrong, and he knows that because of that the show might end. He does not need people like of of yall to throw it in his face even more!! I have heard so much shit about the show. How its a stupid show, how Kate is a bitch, how the kids r too spoiled! How would u know that if u hate the show??!!?? I know all u watch it!!! Its not because there is nothing better on tv, but because u want to know what is going on!! Uggghhhh……. I hate people that talk all this shit, and then sit down in front of the tv n watch the show!! That is so fucken stupid!! If u dont like it to watch then then DONT!!!! COMMON FUCKEN SENSE!!!! N for who ever wrote all this shit I have something to tell u GET A LIFE!!!! I cannot believe u would actually waste all ur time writing all this shit, n posting the pics when u urself say u dont like the show!! STUPID!!! The show will not end because millions of Americans love Jon n Kate!! U guys r part of the other half that hates them!! Let them be!! We all have a life, n we know how marriage is!! Its hard, n it has its up n downs. N if Jon n Kate can have them too. They r human!! Man u see all this actors having affairs n u decided to talk shit about Jon Gossilin. Kate is an amazing mom. She cooks, cleans, n still has time to write books about her family. Like someone said if writing books is providing for her family then let it be! N if the churches give them money dont talk shit about the Gossilins, blame the churches they r the ones giving the money!! N if they have a big ass house then let them they r a big ass family!! They need a big place!! They would not be the first to have a big beautiful house!!!! I could keep on going about all this bullshit!! But im gonna stop because u guys dont give a fuck, n im tired of writing what I think!! I have been reading negative shit about the Gossilins since the pictures appeared. But u know this blog just got to me!!! ALL U ASSES R JUST FREAKIN ASS HATERS!!!!!!! JON N KATE WILL NOT DIVORCE!!! N THE SHOW WILL KEEP GOING!!! O n one more thing we all say we will never get divorced!!! FREAKIN IDIOTS!!!!
Hey Einstein, our concern is the kids! You know, those eight little money makers that are alone with babysitters??
The only thing Kate is amazing at is conning people like you.
Kate has a cook.
Kate has a maid.
Kate didn’t write the first book and the second book is bible quotes. Did Kate write the bible??
You seem to think so. Good for you. I guess you get your jollies watching the kids too. You might want to check into why you enjoy looking at other people’s children.
All of your sources lack credible information. The Philly article relates back to the STAR magazine article and since when is STAR magazine ever been a legitimate source? How about you look at cnn.com today and see the interviews with these women. He can do what he wants, do you have 8 kids, its obviously really hard. But i dont understand how you can come to these conclusions from STAR magazine, which lies about everything!
I am not the one who put my family on tv. And it certainly is not my fault if their marriage is in fact in trouble. Maybe Jon is friends with a 23 year of girl and Kate is totally fine that they hag out in bars until 2 am. I know I wouldn’t, but maybe Kate is laid back like that.
Even if I stop responding to comments on here, more of you will come and keep coming. Face the facts, KON has pushed their way into each America household. People are going to talk about them, because people talk about people. Been going on since time began.
And lilworm, perhaps you can view the cnn.com video I posted on my latest KON post that shows that even cnn is making fun of this family. Perhaps you can pay closer attention before you go running your ugly mouth all up in my blog.
Everyone else who defends Kate in a nutty manner- Go screw yourselves. Seriously, why are you all getting your panties in a bunch? This is my blog and I’m allowed to talk about anything I want here. I give you the right to post freely here, so why do you cheapen your defenses and call me names, etc? I call you names back because its funny and entertaining to the rest of us. I respect anyone who comes here and just writes a rational post on why they enjoy Kate. You make all of those people look bad.
Shame on you for spewing hate and for forgetting the fact that I once enjoyed the show and I don’t even hate Kate myself. Stupid sheeple.
Jon and Kate don’t have a partnership, period. That’s the problem and Jon is acting out instead of confronting her on her controlling and demeaning behavior. I’m not saying that developing a drinking problem and stepping out to re-masculate is acceptable, but no man can live with a nagging shrew like her without doing something. He should have confronted her and demanded marriage counseling and therapy for Kate’s OCD personality. Instead, being the passive aggressive he is, he decided to start drinking & sabotage the relationship so he could get back at her, feel like an in-control man. No way in hell he’s going to be bagging coeds anytime soon. Sounds to me like he just snapped and started drinking his issues away.
For real Girl! It amazes me how the Kate lovers manage to talk about US having NO lives..where they are doing the SAME thing as the rest of us..blogging! Very hypocrtitical! I see nothing wrong with writing and discussing issue’s that I, myself, wanna talk about! But..b/c its about Jon and Kate..we’re supposed to sit back and NOT express our opinions b/c the “Kate Fans” say we’re supposed to watch,enjoy, agree and LOVE everything this family does and says. Well..I for one feel that Im allowed to express my opinions as long as its respectful to others. I enjoy discussing topics that interest me and Im also completely tired of these Kate fans telling ME what Im supposed to think! Cant we ALL agree to disagree? We’re all adults here. We all aren’t going to agree on every topic. But..there’s NO reason for ANYONE to be nasty, rude, offensive and down right hateful just b/c jYOU dont agree with what someone wrote or thought.
I find the Kate Fans to be the absolute worst when it comes to Freedom of Speech. Which..hmmm..says even more about this woman and her damm show already. I recently saw on another blog..someone very nicely wote how they dodnt agree with alot of the things Kate does and says..and OMG..thios woman was blasted right out of the water b/c of HER opinion. If you dont agree..then MOVE ON or debate the subject like a normal human being!!
AND…How do the “Kate Fans” know what the real truth is anyway? They always think that there word is the final word. And.I got news for all of them..it isn’t. Most of what we write is OUR opinions, anyway. I’ve said this ALL along..SO many poeple LOVE this woman. What would happen if they actually got the chance to meet her? And..tell her how much they love the show, etc..I garuntee you Kate would snub every fan she has..unless you have something to offer her. Like the baseball comment..Of course the baseball team is going to tell the family how much they LOVE the show! What do you think they were gonna say? That they HATE the show? Please! Im not stupid to the fact that unlike Kate on camera..that most people are going to say NICE things on camera. They surely dont wanna get a bad rap for being rude on national TV. In MY opinion..thats how most normal people would act.
Allegedly (from another site)
“Allicat said…
Just got word today that they are going to make an announcement about their situation. Mark my words, everything that people are saying on this board are true. Jon has spoken to a close friend and has admitted most of what we are speculating. I will try to get permission to say more. The ship is sinking and it will sink fast when the sheeple learn their prince and princess are frauds!
5/05/2009 11:08 AM”
OMG Bobbycat! LOL! I LOVE IT! If Jon actually admitts to these “speculations”..I’d love to see how the FANS react! They’ll probably say “Its NOT true..everyone lies..Jon and Kate are perfect..blah blah blah”! What more do these people want? I guess its hard for them all to realize that their two perfect hero parents aren’t so perfect after all. And..Im sure someone is gonna write back saying that my marriage isn’t perfect and that I should ignore the lies, etc. That Jon and Kate are the two most perfect parents to have ever roamed the earth, etc..Oh and MY FAVORITE..That Im jealous! LOL! But..guess what? I dont care! Its not MY marriage and my family on TV for the entire world to view!
Ted ~ I agree with everything you said in your last post. There is NO partnership there at all! And..as I dont condone drinking and everything else he’s doing..Im not the least surprised that this happened either! You could see it in his face. He looks miserable! He’s even made a few comments here and there that I thought were a little off! Oh well..I cant wait to hear what comes next!
oh my just leave them alone already… seriously. they are not celebrities… they are just on tv. they are normal like us… so what he goes out. i have a boyfriend and i let him go out whats the big deal? they have freakin 8 kids they aren’t getting divorced lol
Devon – OMG, have you not seen them on CNN, People Magazine, or TMZ? Trust me, they are celebrities. And your definition of normal and my definition of normal are very, very different.
We will “leave them alone” when they get off our freaking TV sets!

Affair confirmed by Deanna’s brother. Video of Jon sneaking out.
TV Snark – Another gold Star. Thanks for doing all of the legwork.
My sitter lives right down the street from their new house…Apparently she’s a real b****. That’s why they have so much land…so nobody has to live close to them.
Mommy of Two – Really? Oh, you guys could make a lot of money selling your photos and stories to Star, US, etc. I can’t imagine what they are like! And, you totally made me lol on that comment!
YOU HAVE TO BE THE BIGGEST WASTE OF A HUMAN ON EARTH FOR EVEN BRINGING SOMETHING LIKE THIS UP. GO FILL UP YOUR LIFE WITH MORE OF YOUR MADE UP STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE YOU “KNOW.” IT’S SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS TO EVEN READ ANYTHING FROM YOU, I FEEL ASHAMED. THIS IS A FAMILY YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT, WITH CHILDREN, AND OBVIOUSLY YOU’RE IN NO POSITION TO EVEN COMMENT ON GETTING ANYTHING CLOSE TO IT BECAUSE YOU’RE A PATHETIC BITCH THAT FEELS THE NEED TO SPECULATE ABOUT OTHERS’ HAPPINESS.
09151990 – Oh, I adore a crazy fuck like you. Nerea is your code name? Totally appropriate for some dumb southern Florida hick like you. First, why are you giving me your date of birth? How stupid is that? I can see from your lame profile page you are 18 years old.

You go by names like Misery Loves me and Letters of Regret, so is it any surprise you’d put me down here? Nope.
What I think is that you know the Gosselins, and are desperatly trying to defend them. What are you there babysitter, or another of Jon’s alleged girlfriends?
I mean, isn’t think your blog, now that you are all grown up? That blog is lame. Don’t waste your time here, Anna, spend it on some free college therapy. Leave the adults alone here and go back to playing with your little college girlfriends. You know nothing yet, idiot!

haha, wow, none of those are even mine, but I’m glad you got a kick out of it. Floridan hick? wow, great one, and you call yourself “girl from the ghetto”? it sure doesn’t get more ridiculous than that. Its even more sad the fact that you call yourself an “adult” and spend your time “blogging,” about other people’s lives, you’re a genius, grow the fuck up and get a real career, “writer.” Don’t even bother replying its not worth coming back here.
09151990 – Oh, so brave of you to come back and deny what is true. Take your mental illness and be gone from here! Sadly, of all of the crazy KON fans, this poor girl is the only one ever who has emailed me:

You call youself a writer? uhm, I guess this is what most of our “writers” have been reduced to. For you to even mention anything at about the Gosselin family its incredibly ridiculous, this is a family with very young children and the last thing you should be addressed doing is talking about their parents’ marriage. Obviously, you don’t even know the foundation of a marriage, probably why you’re sitting behind a computer screen with the need to speculate about others. Do everyone a favor and primarily yourself and begin to reflect on your “writing” to actually begin writing about world issues that matter and make a difference.
Listen up Little Miss 1990, don’t you have anything better to do than actual email a lady who just hours earlier you made fun of for being too old? Also, if you had taken the time to search for something else on the internet today instead of Jon or Kate Gosselin, you may have found some of these articles I previosuly wrote which would help better society. Listen up girly, I know plenty about marriage, esp. since I’m married. I doubt at age 18 you are.

Yes, exploited children.
Everybody seems to forget that.
So 09151990….you just run around defending J & K like its your job? Got much of a life do ya?
Why can’t the just put the girlfriend into the show. Follow him out the do to the girlfriends house. I think it’s just what the show needs adult content. I think Kate is fine with it as long as the 1/2 the TV crew stays with her.
Jogn – Dude, you rock! Lol!
Ok For a while now everyone has been on Kate on how she treats Jon, but lets think about this, she has 8 kids that will bring the B**** out in anyone. I have 2 kids and some days I dont even want to look at my husband when he comes home. Whatever her reasons are for acting the way she does that does not give Jon the right to step out of their marriage. He needs to be a man and come clean with Kate and tell her what is up! If I was Kate I would be pissed to if I was at home all day with the kids while he was out “hanging out”! I can see were Jon is coming from, wanting some freedom, I miss my freedom to, but when you have kids there is no more freedom. I went through my dad stepping out on my mom when I was little and still to this day I have to deal with that. Jon needs to think not about him self right now but think of those kids! And one more thing ever one wants to knock on Kate about her wanting to do the show, write books and travel to do book signings and everyone wants to talk about how she gets free stuff and is getting to meet people, for the people that is talking about her, you would do the same thing if that same door open for you!!! I think that everyone should just leave them alone and let them deal with their own problems. I know what a lot of you are going to say they are the one that is putting their live out there for everyone to see, but come on they are really doing this for kids. If someone wanted to type my life and that meant that I could take my kids to different places and see different things and have money for them as they got older to go to school or just for them to have a better life, I would do it in a min. I know how it feels to live paycheck to paycheck and want to take my kids places and just cant do it. I would like to know that they had money for the future.
I believe that the show has blessed them in many ways. And I stand behind Kate 100%!
Kate isn’t “home all day” with the kids. She’s been gone 23 days out of the month.
Also, not everybody would sell their soul and family for “things.” Some of us have ethics, integrity and modesty. Family life is private.
Many, many, many woman have more kids than Kate and not any of the help yet they manage to treat their husbands with love and respect. There is no excuse for humiliating your life partner, especially on national TV, and if you treat your husband like Kate treats Jon . . . well, all I can say is make your man wear a raincoat because he might bring you home a present.
Mrs. Vaughn – I appreciate you writing a very nice defense of Kate and not calling the rest of us names like so many others who feel the same way you do. I can tell your comment was sincere. However, when you wrote “I think that everyone should just leave them alone and let them deal with their own problems” this confused me, because Kate won’t let the matter lie. We can’t ignore her, because every time I looked at the tv after dinner she was on it. KON is what everyone is talking about, becuase THEY force themselves on us constantly. She is continuing her media tour, without Jon, and was not exactly defending him 100% in my book. A lot of the other media people on TV agree with me. If she truly wants to deal with her marital problems it is my opinion she needs to be in the same state as her husband to do so. It was clear to me on their last episode that he wants the show to be over, and she doesn’t. They have made money, and its time for them to walk away from the spotlight, not to continue to go in it, like the stunt they pulled last time when they went to Mr. Chows after Jon was caught drinking in a bar with college girls. More than anything, I want to move on, but people continue to read and comment on my old blog posts because this is what people want to read about. I try to respond to everyone who comments here, so the cycle continues. Paris Hilton left my radar, and I celebrate the day these two will leave it as well.
How do get all the wackos on your site? You get them worked up somehow, I still don’t have any haters on my one KON post…what do you have to do? Oh that’s right…state the truth and it makes them foam at the mouth.
I just pity that 18 year old, she can’t even find good music to listen to. How sad.
Jen 512 – I’m not sure how I stir up the crazy. Did you see my new Humanzee post? Oh, I’m loving this!
How can you all be so negative? I think its terribly sad that they started out as a young couple truly in love and now have a huge, beautiful family, but are having serious problems. I’m hoping they just needed a “time-out” from each other and that they have realized that they need to patch it back up, for the kid’s sake and their own. Divorce is not a good thing–especially on kids. So I think you people who sound so hopeful for it are a little twisted. Kate is definitely rude to him and I could see it all coming. I think she needs to get some medication to calm her down and not be so obsessive compulsive AND she needs to realize what a great guy he is. He was so willing to do SO MUCH for her and is a cute daddy. He did wrong and drinking and affairzs never solve anything. But all can be forgiven by both of them if they get back to their roots and get some good help. If she truly doesn’t care about anything but money, like many of you say, then it is pretty hopeless and extremely sad. She seems to me like she cares very much for her kids, but has just gotten a little crazy with it all, and she will be doing her kids a great disservice if she lets their daddy leave instead of humbling herself and doing whatever it takes to get him back. I wish them all the help from heaven and earth.
kate’s a bitch. i live in the area she lives in – everyone knows it. jon’s done a good thing just for putting up with her b/s for this long. she’s a bitch plain and simple.
I am NOT a fan of Kate’s by any means. But anyone else upset at TLC for corrupting this family by throwing so much money and freebies their way?
Yes, I do understand that K&J also actively solicited these “handouts” but I guess I can also understand how they couldn’t help but be tempted by the promises of wealth and fame and now Kate is fighting tooth and nail to keep this gravy train runnin’ …
Kate made this statement on the NBC Today Show:
“I think it’s one of the things that we did not invision, obviousley, when we started our show. It’s one of the things that comes with it, the tabloids stuff. And to be very honest, I am very hesitant to beleive any of it. It goes with the territory and you know we’re dealing with it just like everyone else does.” & “Our kids are essentially in our focus, they always have been. They are very much loved, very well cared for, and that will be how it’s going to be. Absolutely, without a doubt, that will never change.”
Jon made this statement:
“THESE ALLIGATIONS ARE FALSE AND JUST PLAIN HURTFUL. AS I ADJUST TO THE ATTENTION OF BEING IN THE PUBLIC EYE, I NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF WHO I AM ASSOCIATING WITH AND WHERE I AM SPENDING MY TIME, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS I DID NOT CHEAT ON KATE. I AM SORRY FOR PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS AKWARD POSITION, GIVEN SOME POOR DECISIONS AND BAD JUDGEMENTS I’VE MADE RECENTLY. I AM WORKING THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME WITH MY FAMILY. MY FAMILY IS MY TOP PRIORITY.”
It is very CLEAR, that Jon has too much to lose, and I do believe that he knew that all along. Jon is like any other man in the world: he makes mistakes, and in the public eye, he may seem like the bad guy. But the bottom line is, Jon is shocked to hear about these tabloids.
Most of the pictures that have arrived publicly are of Jon, where he is supposidly in a bar. Once again, he is just like any other man. Other public photos are of Jon posing for pictures with women. Just like any other famous person, man or woman, they are more than likely to have fans. If Jon took pictures with these women, why do we have to accuse him of cheating?
I say STOP THE ALLIGATIONS, because, just like any other publicly seen family on TV, the TABLOIDS ARE TEARING REALITY TV FAMILIES APART!
TGFTG: You may want to rethink your date you picked as to when this couple divorces. You picked Nov. 21, 2009. At this point, I’d guess they’ll be lucky if they make it through the summer!
why cant everyone leave the gosselins alone! they never did a freakin thing to you! i love the gosselins they are my idols. all that crap you people have to say about jon isnt true. why do people feel the need to be so mean to them. your just jelous that you cant be like them. i would love if everyone stopped the drama and stayed out of there freakin personal life! thank you!
yeah yeah, we are “jelous” and we would sell our kids privacy for nice things too. Yeah yeah, same old story. If they don’t want to be talked about they can get off the TV.
OH, Jon has a girlfriend, deal with it. The FAKE wedding in Hawaii was for a free trip to Hawaii. Your “idols” are faking their marriage so idiots LIKE YOU will buy their books and send them “love offerings.”
Girl, can I use the “F” word????
Tv Snark – Fuck yes you can!
Meg – If you want people to leave them alone, then why do you visit and comment on blogs? All YOU are doing is perpetuating their misery by CARING what other people think of them. If everyone stopped commenting on all the blogs and entertainment websites, the spotlight would be removed, and cameras would stop following them around. And, you are right, i’m jealous that my husband isn’t on the cover of a magazine getting caught with his mistress. I am so devestated to not be in that position!
WTH is wrong with you people???? It’s a sad day when you want to see families fail. WTH is so screwed up in your world that makes you wish others misery?
WTF -I don’t wish them misery. However, I thought that maybe something was going to happen to them, because of being in the spotlight. And, hmmm, my hunch may be correct, since this girl’s brother is quoted to having heard them have sex? Yikes, how embarrasing for them!
WTF is wrong with YOU. You enjoy children being exploited? You enjoy watching children going potty? What is wrong with YOU that you get enjoyment watching other people’s children in their most private moments??? Have you considered that MAYBE, just MAYBE, being voyeuristic towards little kids is just a little sick?? Maybe?? Some people go to jail for getting “enjoyment” from children but Kate publishes a book! Yeah, mother of the fucking year!
It is so sad that all of you people are so miserable and unhappy with your own lives that you take the time to sit around and obsess over these people and talk trash about them, when you don’t know them and don’t know anything about them, AND its none of your business. These supposedly “incriminating” pictures appear to be nothing more than him posing for pictures with people he met in public that are most likely fans of their show. It is because of tabloids, paparazzi, and hateful, unhappy people like many of you who start rumors, gossip, and attract negative attention to these people and invade their privacy and their lives. None of us are at liberty to make a decision about what is going on in their marriage, or what kind of people they are, so we should all stay out of their business and allow them to work through this on their own. They are an innocent family who never dreamed that this fame success of their show was headed their way. These kids are innocent and don’t deserve their family being slandered all over the internet. Have some decency and respect for others and keep your hateful, bitter comments to yourself.
Abbie – What I find so sad is that YOU jump to the conclusion that we are all miserable and unhappy, just because we have opinions about someone who the media is covering non-stop. My god, Kate was even debated on Nancy Grace! You found your way here by trying to search for Gosselin gossip, why is it right for you to put us down, but wrong for those of us who express our thoughts that may not match up to your own opinions?
Abby, another happy child exploiter heard from!
Yes, Abbie, innocent kids!
That is our concern. I don’t give a crap about Jon or Kate but those kids being left with strangers bothers me.
someone above said, in addition to some other babbling, “don’t know anything about them, AND its none of your business”
When they invited cameras into their lives for HOW MANY SEASONS now, they gave up their right to privacy!
Vinyl Villager – Oh, these HATERS are killing me. Thanks for trying!
uhhm.i think that thiss is all a publicity thing.no one knows the reall proof.soo just shuut upp.if they do get a divorce we will know when it happens.but if they dont why would you go along believeing all of this nosense.jon knows the damages that can be done to his family and i deffinatly think that he wouldnt want to seperate that family.so if you suposivly know all this you must be a stalker or something because oviously you dont have a life and seriously need to get onee.
blaah. You need to take an English class, pronto!
Blaah. It may very well be a publicity thing, or it may be the truth. I assume you, I’ve never laid eyes on them. Just because I have an opinion doesn’t mean I don’t have a life. While its clear that you don’t, look around the blog, and you will find out that I do have one. So chill crazy blaah person!
You all sicken me. It is disgusting to speculate over someone else’s marriage. Maybe they asked for if by doing a tv show but you all could have the decency to let them handle their problems without a whole country putting their two cents all over the internet. Showing interest in it is one thing but placing bets for when they will be in divorce court come on. Get a life.
Susan – Oh, hell, go fuck yourself. I’m too tired to be polite anymore to people like you!
I’m sorry, I now you have said this in so many words before ghetto girl, but I gotta say it again.
I almost look forward to the comments of people who comment on here as ‘haters’ of ghetto girl & her blog. You talk shit about her for doing the same thing that you are; only she directs toward KON & you direct toward her. 90% of you either can’t spell or can’t use puncuation. It’s hilarious how it’s always the same: she’s jealous, mean, has no life, blah blah blah. You all have to know that when you post comments as ‘fans’ of KON you not only get laughed at, but you make yourselves look like asses. CRAZY asses in most cases.
BUT. It is aggraving as hell when you, (and you all now who you are) put down the OWNER/AUTHOR of this blog for doing the same damn thing you are. Do you people really not see that?! DAMN! Talk about ‘showing your intelligence’. Still, I love it when teenagers get on here and comment that ghetto girl & all of us who support her don’t know what a marriage is & aren’t paying attention & taking care of our children b/c we’re on the computer. And then they actually expect us to take their comments seriously. WHATEVER!! Crazy dumbass freaks.
Monica – Oh girl, you made me laugh with that one! Thank you for pointing out the not entirely obvious!!! LOL!
they are both idiots, and shouldnt get paid for this, their are starving children in africa and this bitch is buying an iphone and a million dollar house off the publics money disgusting they should give the money back these disgusting fools, and i am sorry theat couple is so ugly to look at i mean stars get big bucks cause tehy are good looking and not cause they look liek shit SORRRY PLEASE CANCEL THIS DUMB ASS SHOW
im not sayingg that you dontt havee a lifee itss jusst thaat all of you guyss seem that you aree obbsesedd with thee situation.itss not like thee worrld is gonnaa comme to an endd.ohh andd sorry tvsnark orr whaatever isss thiss ann essay orr someethingg soorry, didnt get the rulee book.
Blaah -It is very hard to take someone seriously when they can’t spell. I am picky about that myself, not even lower case i’s. Trust me, we all have lives outside of KON.
blahh, this isn’t an essay it is real life. When you type like an idiot you are perceived as an idiot.
The gig is up (1st of 3-maybe more?)
INSIDE JON & KATE’S TWISTED MARRIAGE
-LICENSE TO CHEAT-THEIR SECRET CONTRACT
-JON: KATE’S AFFAIR WITH BODYGUARD
-’SHE’S EXPLOITING THE KIDS-IT MUST STOP!’
http://www.starmagazine.com/kevin_kreider_jodi/news/15588
Jon & Kate Plus 8 wife Kate Gosselin got on her high horse Tuesday slamming reports that she may have been cheating with her hunky married bodyguard. But what she didn’t know when she spoke to a magazine was the source of those explosive revelations!
In the May 25 issue of Star, we have an exclusive tell-all with the couple who were closer to Kate than anyone else — her brother Kevin Kreider and his wife, “Aunt” Jodi. They were mainstays of the TLC show for its first three seasons.
Kevin and Jodi’s shocking revelations about Jon and Kate include:
Jon told Kevin he believes Kate is having an affair with bodyguard Steve Neild;
Kate drew up a secret contract that allows Jon to have girlfriends on the side — as long as he stays on the show;
She has cut off her entire family — even her parents — and spends less and less time with her eight children while she promotes her career;
Her explosive temper and controlling ways have led to bitter battles between the TV couple.
And Kevin and Jodi reveal why they are no longer on the hit show. Kate freaked out when TLC suggested they be paid for their time. “No one else is getting paid but us!” Kate screamed at her brother. “We’re done!’
Kevin has a simple message for her family members. “Kate and Jon, I urge you to focus on what’s most important, and stop trading your marriage and family for fame and fortune!”
Read the full dramatic interview and see exclusive family photos only in Star.
Bobbycat – All I can say is Jesus Christ! (Sorry for those who that offends.) WTF? OMG, WHAT can’t cover the way that this shocks me.

COVER STORY: Family Member: Jon Gosselin Grew Suspicious of Kate and Her Bodyguard
Wednesday May 13, 2009
- Family Member: Jon Gosselin Grew Suspicious of Kate and Her Bodyguard ShareThisThe new issue of Us Weekly reports that Jon & Kate mom Kate Gosselin grew so close to her bodyguard, Steve Neild, it caught the attention of her husband, Jon — and has become the talk of many locals in their Berks County, Pennsylvania, community. Since May 2008, Kate has made 50 public appearances, criss-crossing the country, often with Neild by her side, as Jon stayed home with the kids. Even when at home — whether at Starbucks or at restaurants — Neild has been a constant companion to Gosselin, who is estranged from her family and viewed in town as not having friends.
“He threatened to hire a private investigator,” a family source informed by Jon Gosselin tells Us.
Look back at photos of Jon and Kate through the years.
The married Neild — who once worked for Bill Clinton, and is often photographed not wearing his wedding band — were “very physical, often touching each other,” says an employee at a recent promotional appearance for their TLC reality show. “She was gently poking him, giving him little love pats, totally unlike the slapping she does with Jon. She and Steve were joking around so much, I actually wondered if they were having an affair. There’s a lot of open affection between them.” The employee adds Kate showed no affection at all to Jon at the same event.
(Neild’s wife Gina, a one-time close friend of Kate’s, tells Us local and online talk of an affair is “ridiculous”; Kate recently said she is “horrified” by any allegations suggesting she and Neild are romantically involved; TLC refused comment.)
Meanwhile, Us has learned that Jon has had more public trysts with 23-year-old third grade teacher Deanna Hummel than first reported.
The new Us Weekly confirms a mid-March date at the local Ruby Tuesday’s that a waitress describes as “romantic and lovey-dovey.” And on March 28, Hummel and a girlfriend attended Spring Gruv with Jon in Utah while Kate was away. On April 17 — the day before Jon and Hummel were photographed at 2 a.m. leaving a club — the two were caught on cell phone camera and were “all over each other” while watching band Dirty Penny perform at Paolo’s Restaurant & Bar in Reading, Pa., a witness tells Us.

So what’s next for the couple of nearly 10 years?
“Jon says it’s over,” says the family source. “Kate doesn’t want to work on it, he doesn’t want to work on it.”
For much more on Kate and her bodyguard’s “inseparable” relationship, what people in her town say she’s really like as a mom, how much money is at stake for the Gosselins, and how Jon is handling the pressure, pick up the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands today.

EXCLUSIVE: Jon and Kate: How Much Money Is at Stake
Wednesday May 13, 2009
Amy Sussman/Getty Images CelebNews@Usmagazine.com! – Jon and Kate: How Much Money Is at Stake ShareThisThe Gosselins make up to $75,000 per episode on their TLC hit, Jon & Kate Plus 8, for a 20-episode season — and that’s not even counting all their freebies!
As the Los Angeles Times reports that TLC is scrambling to find a way to revise the May 25 season premiere given the latest news on the couple, the delicate balancing act of how to incorporate reality into a heavily produced “reality” show is in the balance.
For the Gosselin clan, it’s not just their show — but their lifestyle — that hang in the balance.
See Jon and Kate through the years.
Kate, who grew up in a trailer park and didn’t go on her first airplane ride until her honeymoon to Disney World, now flies only first class for speaking engagements (mostly paid for by churches), sells signed photos of her kids for $20 a pop at appearances, and received a free tummy tuck after giving birth (Jon received a free hair transplant). A family source says while pregnant with the sextuplets, she grew “obsessed” with how many goodies the famed McCaughey septuplets received in 1997.
Check out celebs caught cheating.
Jon, now a stay-at-home dad, was fired from his job at Style Craft Corp in 2004 after “spending much more time” on a “quest” for freebies than working, the company’s owner, David Rothermel, tells Us. (Rothermel finally has spoken out after growing furious at the couple’s well-worn claim that he was fired because the company didn’t want to insure his family.)

“Instead of keeping the attention on their kids, they’ve let the attention turn to money and fame,” says a family source of Jon and Kate, who, according to Nielson Media Research, are ranked No. 8 on the list of cable shows with the most product placement.
Marc Berman, senior television editor at Mediaweek, says producers cannot continue to portray the Gosselins as an everyday family trying to raise eight kids.
“Their lives have changed – they’re not struggling anymore,” Berman tells Usmagazine.com. “They’re eating at fancy restaurants now. Yeah, they still have eight children, but things are different.

In order for the show to survive, Mediaweek’s Berman says the Gosselins need to be upfront with the audience.
“They’re now a celebrity couple,” says Berman. “The emphasis of the show has changed, and they need to address how they’ve evolved.”
“If they don’t evolve the show, I think the audience is going to be upset,”
he tells Us. “You can’t fool an audience.”
I can’t blame the guy, haven’t you seen the show? Kate is ALWAYS all over his case. Can’t we begin with Kate not making his life a living nightmare in favor of the kids? He’s done the best he can to put up with her attitude. I saw an episode where Kate was all over his $hit for trying to make dinner and apparently didn’t do it to her liking so she screamed and kicked him out of the kitchen. Another episode where she cursed him out for trying to clean up. What did you expect ? Someone should of warned her what the consequences were…..
I’m asking all, no sorry but pleading with everyone to see that this show goes away is to NOT WATCH ON MAY 25th for their 5th season premeire. The only way they are going away is because they don’t have the ratings. The end of season 4 had the highest ratings because of divorce talk and the ending of the show.
I know it’s like watching a train wreck and you can’t help it but the only way it will FINALLY be over if no one watches.
PLEASE END THIS SHOW
Maybe we can forgo the initial airing and catch the midnite repeats as those don’t get counted in the time-slot ratings. Or do they?
I’m sorry but I can’t help myself. Kate is out there promoting her book with all the allegations going on. Kate is neither defendiing Jon or on his side. She is maintating that everything now is for the children. How so Kate? Your out promoting a book (which you didn’t care if sells) since you wrote it just for your children but yet doing a book tour. In all of the interviews I’ve seen with Kate, the books were supposed to be about the kids and not sales, so why is on a tour. Also, why are you just ckoking it up to tabloid gossip about the affair instead of saying “I’m Hesitant to believe” Do you think were buying this crap!!!!
And Bobycat that’s only the half of what there showing, how about the pics with Rega McIntere etc. There’s alot that were not privcy to
Damn, Franny, I can’t copy you in this post or your next one. Type to me so I can understand, please? TY
Bobbycat – Lala is back, go to the Jon Gosselin Gets Caught with ANOTHER Woman, again post. LOL!
Bobby Cat: Do you wan’t tp end or not?
Kevin & Jodi speak!!
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/05/exclusive-interview-jon-and-kate-shocker-her-brother-says-their-marriage-over
Bobbycat – Holy shit. Poor Jon, poor kids. This needs to be over.
And where is their ‘mother’ through all of this? Lying her way across the airwaves and print media (there’s some drivel-an alleged sit-down interview at the Konpound with ma & pa Greed$lin-not sure when the fuck that was conducted?) and gallavanting through Baltimore airport with her bodyguard on her way to $150 teas etc. in the most depressed economic state in the country. The picture in People with her in a ‘model-like’ pose is absolutely PATHETIC and the SOONER this bitch is revealed for who she is the better! Now with Kevin & Jodi coming out seemingly with dildo Jon’s ‘secret’ I hope to HELL Jon just says ‘fuck it!’ and starts spilling it ALL (along with everybody that has ever had contact with cuntess Kate). Yeah, sure, he’s a prick for selling his kids out all along-and that can’t be forgiven-but I would so much rather it be him coming out on top than her. Lesser of two evils, really. Jon’s a tool but the bitch he married is just a pure and evil CUNT!
YOU’RE A HATER. why do you care SO much about them??? I love how you are saying the show should get cancelled yet you know exactly how many episodes have aired, and exactly what happened in each episode. GET A LIFE BITCH.
Fuck you.
I’ll second that.
The hate expressed and lanquage used on this site has become way too strong and abusive for me. I will cancel my subscription and no longer post. Goodbye to those who were posting at a lower key a month ago. Millie
Millie,
I apologize if my use of the ‘c’ word earlier this morning offended you. Should have known better than to post when all fired up. I, along with TGFTG and many others who post here, would sincerely hate to see you go. I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts and would like to continue to do so. In turn, I will strive to restrain my profanity if you decide to stay. Please reconsider? Please?
Nurse M – Sorry to see you go, but I understand.
I’m sorry Bobbycat but I’m not following you. I was just agreeing with your post of all the free stuff that they were receiving and the privliages they incurred. We don’t see all of that on the show. I may not have been clear on what I was saying due to for some reason I get fired up about this topic.
And Bobycat that’s only the half of what there showing, how about the pics with Rega McIntere etc. There’s alot that were not privcy to
And:
Bobby Cat: Do you wan’t tp end or not?
——-
I couldn’t follow along for all the typos, that’s all.
Forgot about the Reba photo, and didn’t they meet the Sprouse twins, too? I don’t recall the list-don’t feel like scrolling up-but did they mention The Harlem Globetrotters? Bet if we all put our minds in recall mode, we could add a ton more free shit to the list that’s been on the show…
Holy crap.. that is something Bobbycat on the Kevin and Jodi interview. Gee, no surprise!!! Kate has been covering up about Jon’s affair but is she really just covering up about her own. I personally think this marriage has been over for awhile and they both went there separte ways. Unfortunately , they blew there cover.
Bobbycat: Again, Im sorry not usually bad with the typos. I see what your saying
GFTG – You are very intuitive. You called this story step by step before events even unfolded. I agreed with you and read your and others’ posts along the way. You were never “hoping” they divorced. You never “wished” them unhappiness. You just knew how the story would unfold and you were right. I am completely dumbfounded as to why there are still people out there who first of all think you were ever jealous or a hater and second thought the Gosselin’s were a “perfect” family. DAH! people. I loved the show and haven’t missed an episode to date and I could see this mess unfolding before my eyes. GFTG you called it and look – details show Kate cheated first. Kate won’t end here – you wait and see. This selfish, selfcentered woman is going to sell her story to “E” and probably write a book about “marriage problems” or some dumb thing. What she should do is step out of the limelight for her kids’ sakes – but she won’t. I’m calling that. Poor excuse for a human being.
Anyway good job reporting what was happening step by step on a very popular show. That’s what a good journalist does.
ohh yess.andd supossivlyy these “moneymakers”(kids)were planned to be born all at the same timme.becausee now a’ dayss we can pick how many kids we want to have at once.somepeople need to stop becausee its dump that you think thiss.well i think that its dump anyways.

http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Kate+Plus+scandal+primer+truth+will+free/1596799/story.html
Also, Showbiz Tonight BLASTED Jon and Kate for their decision to put their children on tv and to CONTINUE on with the show.
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2009/05/15/sbt.kate.jon.scandal.cnn
Good juicy stuff to look at lol
Is it just me that thinks this but Kate continually speaks out of both sides of her mouth. All week long she’s been saying that they are handling this matter privately, yet where does end up but on the cover of People magazine.
Wow has it been ALONG time since ive been here. I think that kate is a bitch!!! doesn’t everybody?????????/
OMG! franny that is so true?? if they try to handle why is it on the FRONT COVER of People magezine???? i meat WTF!?!?!?!
WHO SAYS HOLLI IS A MESSED UP SYCOPATH
jon + 8 – kate
I am really sad about that. I really wish that they’ll stay together. I mean… i really fell in love with them and their family. They shouldn’t split.
Family is more important than money. If you have your family you feel better. But if you have money and no family … you still have something missing in ur life. So please… Jon & Kate stay together for the big fans and espacially ur kids.
From: An only 13 year old that is a huge fan of them. :S
Janine – I think family is more important than money, too.
In my opinion katee isnt a bitch.shee is kinnda fammouss.if you were famous and had 8 kids would you be taking them EVERYWHERE you go.?and im sure they need a lot of money to support these kids.you guys probably cantt putt yourr self in this postion.no need to bee saying all thiss craap.
I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who call this family “normal”. I would beg to differ since most “normal” parents I know, including myself, actually work and support our kids in average homes with no handouts. Even those who have several children actually raise their children themselves. Rarely, do parents of young children get an evening out without their children, much less both parents of 8 traveling around the country! No Moms I know tan, get nails done, get plastic surgery, etc. We all struggle to find time in our busy “normal” lives to exercise and try to eat properly. People who believe the Gosselin’s are a “normal” family need their head examined and need to get to any suburban area in the USA and see real families in action!
Very well said, I couldn’t agree with you more!
It is quite obvious you don’t pay attention to the show. Not only that but you seem to be laboring under the delusion you’re using facts. This entire entry is nothing but speculation and wishful thinking that they will divorce. Why? Because apparently you feel divorced families are a good thing. My guess is that you’ve been cheated on and hate men because of it.
It’s easy to take something out of context and twist it into which ever form you choose. Including putting words into their mouths. Too bad speculation and ill mood aren’t legitimate evidence. They have a TV program. Even a nobody like Omarosa met famous people through reality television.
I can’t believe you’re actually comparing Kate to the Octomom. The Octomom even said she only had the kids because she wanted to be famous. John and Kate did a special with TLC and the networked liked is so much they kept them. John and Kate didn’t pursue fame, fame found them.
Perhaps you should look at the john’s hair line and tell me the dates are accurate.
Or perhaps you should just think about what speculation on a marriage, that is not yours, could do to any family. You should learn to stay out of their business and hope for the best instead of wishing for another failed family.
L. Scott – If fame found J & K, then why was a website created by Jon BEFORE the twins were even born? And, of course, you think I want Jon to be be divorced from Kate, when really I just want him to be less miserable. If divorce is the answer, so be it. Don’t get so high and mighty on me, I’m allowed to think what I want. Its obvious to me that a man named Logan who works for a college in Colorado has never seen the show, unless of course your wife is a huge fan. The professors and teachers I know don’t have time to watch tv shows. But you feel necessary to defend the characters on it. How odd!
Hmm…these pictures aren’t that big of a deal. These pictures look like fans that wanted to have their pictures taken with him. No one REALLY knows anything about these people except Jon & Kate. Divorce? Maybe. Cheating? Probably. But in the end who’s business is it? Jon & Kate
I don’t even watch this show but I’ve seen this couple all over magazine covers in the grocery store & on online.
Bartman – They could very well be of fans. I just think it is funny how drunk Jon looks in one of those pictures. Whatever is going on sure is riling up a lof of people here in America.
Kate and Jon can’t support their family on their own, they are relying of their reality show ($50,000 per epsisode), the “Love Offerings” not to mention all the free trips/vacations that they take. With all of the land they own, they need to plant their own fruits and vegetables, raise their own cattle, pigs and chickens and learn how to live off the land and not all the freebies that have been given. Jon and Kate were the onces not happy with two beautiful chidren but needed more. Let them take the responsibily on their own to raise them, and get out of the public spotlight.
I would watch Kate have to cut the head off a chicken. Yes, I would watch that!

Instead of spreading gossip and hate, you can really help Jon & Kate: http://richardtgarner.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-can-honestly-say-jon-is-my-best.html
Rick – So you are saying it is better for you to get readers at your blog then mine, lol!
The measure of Kate Gosselin’s character can be found in the amount of family and friends who are at her side. Zip, zilch, ZERO. The sad thing is she blames the media for the situation she is currently in. I have news for you Kate–the media did not chase away your family and friends who love you–YOU DID. Someone who so easily writes off her own parents and moves on with not even a tear–SCARES ME.
Great blog–Glad my curiousity brought me here!
Eve – You are so right, if Kate was so well loved, her own family and friends would be at her side right now. But they are not. They only people who stand next to her are paid employees or agents, TLC staff, etc. It is actually sad to me that she apparently has lost her whole support system. And thanks for stopping by.
I watch the show all the time and probably will as long as its on.Its too bad it has come to this.
Pam – I agree with you. Of course no one wants to be on a magazine cover or have people take pictures of your husband at the bars. But they have to remember that they are paid to entertain, and that sometimes entertainment goes outside of normal filming hours. We see what movie stars go through, and it will never end for them as long as they keep piping up in the media.
this monday night at 9 on tlc there is gonna be a show that is based on what happened.
Yes, and I won’t be watching.
More dirt on Kate! She’s on the cover of US Weekly again, and the story is called “From Mom to Monster!” http://www.usmagazine.com/news/cover-story-kate-gosselin-fired-40-staffers-in-3-months-2009205
Missy – Thanks for sharing this. I know Kate was here in MI speaking at two different places in one day about three or four days after Aunto Jodi and Uncle Kevin spoke out. I guess she is trying to bank as much as possible before it all ends. That is a horrible cover, wow!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/free-the-gosselin-8
Don’t watch. Sign the petition.
Don’t watch. Families destructing should not be entertainment.
please will someone start a jon fan club or support site where we can all love on him, give him encouragement and the support he will never get from the military leader he lives with.
Somebody should tell her if you don’t take care of your husband someone else will!!!!!
I wish she would take some personal responsibility,a pole dance class and smother him in edible chocolate….then he will be so busy at home he wont need to go out.
If they do get divorced, kate should open a dungeon….she would be awesome…God knows weve seen enough “slapping” and “hitting” on this family show.
Deblianne – I was never a fan of the slaps.
im on kates side. jon has 8 kids at home and he is going off on a date with that other girl. its like her doesnt even care about his family at all. Think about how you would feel if you were in kates shoes? now, their trying to blame her for cheating?!
First Ashley did you mean to say?
I’m on Kates’ side. Jon has 8 kids at home and he is going off on a date with that other girl. It’s like he doesnt even care about his family at all. Think about how you would feel if you were in Kates’ shoes? Now, they’re trying to blame her for cheating?
Second Ashley, Have you forgotten that Kate also has 8 children and should make it a priority to be with her family and yes that includes Jon as well. According to Kates’ own brother she has given permission for Jon to go out with other women because the marriage is over. Just as long as he shows up for tapping the show.
BarbWire – I’ve just always been on the kids side. If she is traveling so much, and he is at the bar, don’t they just miss their parents? They have gotten used to them always being there, and now often not, or at least this is what is reported. I can imagine it must be hard on them, no matter how big their new house is or how cute their new dogs are. Love her or hate her, those kids still need Kate and Jon in their lives.
Ashley – I don’t slap my husband in the face for years, let alone have too many kids with him that I couldn’t afford to have in the first place. To imagine myself in her shoes would be impossible. If Jon really cheated on her, and there wasn’t a contract between them that allowed either one to cheat, then yes, I admit I would feel a tiny bit bad for her.
I can not believe how awful everyone is treating Kate. She’s a smart Woman and a great Mother. Jon is a great guy two, mabye he just needs a guys night out occassionally. I don’t think Kate is doing anything wrong by having the show, it’s clear that she does it mostly for her kids. She has 8 kids to put through college for God’s sakes! Give her a break. So what if she wants to look good, and takes care of herself. She works out, gets her hair done, and after 8 kids deserves a tummy tuck.! Most women just sit around like fat pigs and let themselves go. Doesn’t every woman want to look their best?????… I wish them all the best, and I will continue to watch the show, and hope they will work out their problems. Which i feel they will.
Tami – You must have not read the 400 comments where the Governor of PA gave those kids a free college education. Or you missed that KON allegedly make millions a year. They have a lot of money, drive fancy cars now, and go to fancy restuarants. This is not the Kate and Jon I watched two years ago. These are celebrities on the ride to fame. Eight kids in tow. I worry about the kids, and THAT is why I have ever posted about Kate. Not out of spite, hate, jealousy, or any other dumb reason you people come up with.
Hmmm… I think you have answered your own question.
Why doesn’t the show get canceled? When will it happen?
When the show stops getting great ratings. In any episode I have every seen, Kate has always been bitchy, and Jon has always been remiss. I would be bitchy too if I were raising 8 kids under 10 Yrs.
Is there anybody here who hasn’t taken a picture with a “side arm” around a married man? What about your friend’s husband?
Think about it… it is all conjured up, for ratings. People love it. Why do you think soap operas are so successful? The drama, arguing, bickering, tension…
I feel very sad for them.
She is a bitch!
She sold her soul and put the well being of her children & her marraige on the line all for $$$$. They sholud call it the “Kate Show”…..how is this about the family??? Where is the “real life”??? Everything they have is handed to them & staged. How would they fare if they actually had to manage on their own??
OMG…..Did you ever hear about the child stars whose life went to shit after the series was over??
Good job Kate….get your tummy tuck now, because you’ll be paying for child psychology for the rest of your life!
STUPID! people that are married aren’t allowed to go out to bars without thier other half? and if they do they’re automatically cheating? stupidest thing i’ve ever heard. And all this stuff about kate caring about fame more than her family…ridiculous…have you ever watched the show? I think this whole thing is ridiculous and to make accusations like this and hurt people like this is just heartless. and the paparazzi following them is the stupidest thing ever…THEIR LIFE IS TAPED AND ON TV already why do you need to follow them? stupid
Can’t you just let them be. If you could only hear the mean things you’re saying about their show and them. How would you feel if people were saying that about you and trying to ruin your marriage? gosh.
you people have nothing better to do in life but critisise their family. 8 children is a big deal. They have a great family going on and their relationship works, sure she is bossy but with all those kids she has to be. Plenty of married men go out without their wives and yes many flirt with woman but its harmless stress releaving fun, jon just gets photographed everytime he does go out. so stop discussing their family and look at your own, im sure all of you have some hectic stuff going on with either parents or aunts and auncles and causens.
their relationship works
Really? Is that why they are splitting up?
Snarky – Hubby and I were at the movies today and he pointed out a mom who looked like Kate, and by god, it was her twin, minus the spiky back part of her hair. Oh, we laughed and laughed. And, even though I’m trying not to comment here I have to laugh at the reduced number of sheeple spewing crazy here. Yes, they all have seen the light and have seen the damage of the show to their marriage. I find it laughable that someone wrote that their relationship works. I say, what relationship?
For the past two seasons Jon has been muttering comments such as, “I don’t want to be just Jon & Kate + 8″, i want to be just Jon….Hint! Hint! He’s finding being a momma’s boy who lived at home, married and had 8 kids suddenly is more than he signed up for. He’s still immature, and wants to play around, get drunk and pick up girls. A decent daddy would be home enjoying quality time with the kids….Kate didn’t have it easy either, raising 2 y/o twins, having sextuplets, and raising a momma’s boy hubby who refuses to show any sense of responsibility. That marriage is way over, Kate needs to continue putting the kids first, keep working to make money to support all 8 and pay for college for all 8 as she has been. Jon has been little help other than sprem donor
Am I the only person who thinks this is all a made up stunt for ratings? With the Duggars, Little Couple, the Roloff’s, Table for 12, etc. Kate and Jon were losing ratings fast. What else could give a quick boost than “We’re splitting up”? Kate was seen having a fit because people were taking pictures of them a the party. If she doesn’t want her picture “plastered on magazine fronts”, then quit posing for them! It’s a matter of money. She gets paid for the posing but not for the pics taken by people hiding in the bushes and trees.
that is totaly not jon. it is totally a lookalike. look at his teeth and lips and overall facial structure it’s not him
Dude, Jon admitted it was him!
Kate is your typical fat, white, bitchy, haggish, ignorant, selfish, demanding, white, soccer mom.
She is the only one to blame for the divorce…why ANYONE would marry and reproduce with a white american hag is beyond me.
White women are okay for fucking…but NEVER NEVER EVER MARRY or REPRODUCE with one!
OHH Very Interesting post! Thank you for such interesting resource! PS: Sorry for my bad english, I’v just started to learn this language
See you! ^_^
I think everyone should leave them alone. Kate isn’t an evil bitch and none of us know what Jon is going through or Kate for that matter, evil people like you are the reason people in HollyWood have problems, in my opinion you’re the evil Bitch.
That is fucking hysterical and absurd.
Hey GFTG, how are you? Some people here are talking like for sure they’re breaking up. As you know they live in my little PA town and I hear lots of news/gossip, and I haven’t heard anything conclusive about that. Did I miss something?
BTW, I wrote J&K a letter in my last blog post…haven’t heard from them though!
I’m doing good, how are you? I’ve seen the no tresspassing signs they have put up around the house. Shoot Polly, you could make some $$ selling your tales for sure.
Their children will grow up to hate them… especially Mady and Cara. They need to put fame and money on the back burner and give their children a normal childhood (or whatever bits of that can be salvaged from this mess). Shame on TLC for keeping it going… total exploitation….
I’m worried about that, too.
Ha ha ha ha HA This shit is funny, a tv show about some crazy bitch who uses her kids to influence everyone around her, and who finds it necessary to control every move her husband makes (Can you blame him for cheating). I was in a relatoinship like that once, I remember my ex bitching at me for some of the dumbest things. I cheated on her, no use in lying, I told her 4 days later because the guilt got to me, swore to myself I’d never do it again, now i’m in a great relationship, but i can see why Jon is sticking around he wants to make sure the kids don’t live without their father, a justified cause. But when you think about the trauma those kids are going through having all those people in and out of their home, a mother who is insanely obsessive just for the money and fame, they might as well not have either parents there for them. And I agree with Ash, I think it’s bullshit that America gets off on seeing two people who are quite obviously unprepared for raising children, destroying their relationship and everything in front of millions of viewers, the minds and future lives of those innocent kids are at stake all because the bitch likes being famous and having the money, living like a rock star. Meanwhile Jon can only sit back and watch as Kate tears everything apart. I feel his pain, I know what it’s like staying with someone, even though everyone says you should get out, just because you want to see it work, but I know it’s beyond that now, if he’s anything like most guys i know, if it weren’t for the kids he’d be long gone and quite frankly i don’t blame him for staying, he’d lose big time with child support, not many jobs pay enough to support 8 children, still it’s all bullshit in my view.
This is ridiculous.
Kate is annoying as hell. Picks at EVERYTHING constantly. Im surprised Jon has managed to live with her this long.
And their kids poor kids.
The younger ones arent that bad but Maddie is just a little bitch like her mom
No one knows what’s really going on with K&J. You can rag on them all you want, but you only know them from the show. I’ve been watching the show forever and have enjoyed it. I think Kate does get annoyed easily with Jon but I (as a wife & mother) can understand the pressure she’s under. She is the organizer in the family. I swear if she didn’t tell him what to do and how to do it, it wouldn’t get done. It’s obvious that they both love their kids, but I think the stress they’re all experiencing right now is worst for the kids than the show was (or is). They say in the beginning of each show “but it’s our life”. They have also said so many times that all the trips are “for the kids” and the memories they are building. Without the show paying them all this money, there would be few trips & experiences. Jon hasn’t worked for two years because he didn’t have to. He shouldn’t complain about being a stay at home Dad. Why should it be just a woman’s job? I honestly don’t believe that either one has actually been involved in an affair. At least I hope not. I hope they both had the common sense to know that it would hurt the children more than each other. Those darling kids deserve to have a normal life with a Mom and Dad and no cameramen hovering over their every move. Now that they have their dream home & property, they should think about quitting the show and maybe just doing annual updates. And maybe Kate shouldn’t be flying all over the country to make speeches & to promote her book. How the hell did she have time to write a book? With this said, I hope they will work things out. From what I saw on TV, it looked like he wanted his freedom and she would continue to be there for the kids as much as possible. I’ve heard stories about her treating Jody and other family members like crap. She does need to get off her high horse before she loses those relationships. Everyone has been so good to them. Jon needs to stop whining about not having enough wild times in his 20s. No one told him to get married young or to have kids right away. They knew that it was possible to have another multiple birth, but they went for it. Now they have to grow up and do what’s right for those kids.
it will all go way once the show ends. there fancy fake lives will crumble and they will lose it all the free clothes the free cable and food and the free house they have in wernersville pa.
Oh yes people it is free they did not have to pay a dime tlc did they have a property manger taking care of the finances of the house we were told when they moved to my town in wernsville pa they had to make it public knowledge that they are the new residence , we found out they did not own the house they claimed they did.
they get free food from gaint as long as they shop at gaint tlc pays for the clothing they buy and food they pay for their car payments they paid for their new scooter kate got and jon’s new occ chopper he got tlc pays for everything but the catch is people they refuse to comply and the show goes under so does their lavish life style.
tlc will take it all away easy come easy go. the trailer girl will be back in the trailer. she came from the trailer will be back in the trailer and jon will be living in motel 6 and they will keep the light on for him.
boy cott the show is a good starter and boy cott her advice and parentling books is another and boy cott them in general and not worry what they do is another tlc will drop them like garage on the curbside they will lose money and be in the trailer park.
the investagation of child abuse and animal cruelty.
if they are found guilty we all were told in wernersville by the officals they will have to move out of the township and face charges of animal abuse and child endabgerment charges. they will have the shief personally come and remove them from the property and face the local courts time facing could be a max of 10 years in berks county prison.with possible prole.
this is a serious charge people what they did is a form of child and animal abuse that is a charge of 10 to 20 years in prison.
pa is not easy to amuse when it comes to children they have strict laws on employment and they did not have working permitts for the kids the parents will be looking at state prison charges and fines up to 7,500 and the kids will be taken from the home and put in to foster care or in the care of responciable realitives the nearest realitive they have.
to all the viewers this is nothing but a game to jon and kate and if we leer in to their twist fate we are enforcing the ok for these people to be who they are bendictive insulting people who think they are more powerful then jon gotti.
jon and kate are fakes no doubt about it . the celeb life they live is fake stop buying their stuff and feeding into their lives then they will go away
you guys are so jeloues with jon and kate .what about your own life story may be more worse then jon and kate
I think all this media stuff is just bullcrap! So jon went out to some partys and got a little drunk? And maybe he took some pictures with fans? The pictures prove nothing and they don’t have proof of the whole kissing thing and stuff. People who say they saw him do that stuff have no proof. Jon should be allowed to go out and have somefun after dealing with 8 screaming kids all day! It isn’t a crime!

Nothing worth getting a divorce over! The media people are such liars and should be ashamed of them selves for trying to ruin somebody’s relationship! I don’t know how those media people live with themselves! Honestly, I don’t!
you were a few months off:
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20286254,00.html
Wow, alot of you guys on here are just idiots! seriously, suggesting splitting up kids, calling kate a bitch (pretty sure none of yall have met her personally) and taking up for a cheating husband? I only have one child and sometimes i lose my shit after a stressful day! I can say hurtful things and be a complete bitch to my husband, but he also has the cajones to stand up for himself when i cross the line. Jon acted like a big dumb kid most of the first seasons and walked around in a semi daze allowing himself to be ridiculed and directed every which way by kate! Now he decides he has had enough and wants out. Out to go drinking and making out with whoever he comes across? I dont care what the situation is, happy or unhappy, it doesnt give you licence to cheat! you get out of the relationship and then have the option to do what you will with no regrets or guilt. there would be no tabloids of cheating if he had been a man in the first place, told her to step off, and taken the reigns as man of the house! so now that the sad little puppy has realized hes to chicken shit to stand up to her, hes going to have an early mid life crisis and cheat/drink and party with kids 10 years younger. Gimme a break! when youre married with kids (and eight is some serious kids!) your days of crashing college parties and drinking till all hours are over. plain and simple. you man up, go to counseling, or get out the right way first. but in the end it doesnt seem like he wants to save his family, he wants to relive his younger days and pary like hes in college again. what kind of example does that make for your young children even IF youre not cheating.???
as for them pimping out their children, its not like they are chaining them to walls and forcing them to sew quilts by hand 18 hours a day in order for everyone to live in the lap of luxury! It seems these days everyone has a reality show, but somehow, everyone calls her out for it? if it was such a god awful show, why have ratings been through the roof since day 1? people are always curious about other peoples lives, especially lives which are so outrageously drastic as theres are. She knew that she would have to do something different than working 24 hours a day just to afford food for all those mouths! like i said, i have one child and i cant even afford daycare. its like 600 a month! so i work weekends while my husband works weekdays. we barely make it some weeks. would all of you people that are criticizing about a situation you couldnt possibly begin to understand , rather they work day in day out just to barely scrape by every day of their lives and never ever provide anything other than basic necessities of daily life until they finally shove them all out of the house at 18 so they can finally lay down in their mid forties and die!?? geez people. think about your own lives and how easy it would be to accept 50000 an episode in order to provide everything from clothes, vacations, a wonderful safe home, food, and college educations for every one of your kids? and god willing maybe some alone time to collect your sanity would be nice too. Im sure she misses them but i also think her book tour gives her a much needed breather from the CONSTANT screaming, crying sniffling mess that is her daily life!
besides her obvious sharp attitude on the show, how can anyone criticize someone when they have never walked a day in their shoes?
on another note, everyone knows how easy it is to slip into that bossy, bitchy overbearing role, when the person youre dealing with basically lies on the floor so you can stomp on them. you almost resent them for being such a flipping pu**y you cant help being disgusted and even more rude. I think it was a role she slipped into, and when there was no resistance from jon, who in turned decided to slip into his role as doormat- it spiraled. it seems to me she sees this now. hopefully she’ll learn from this. but i dont think she deserves to be called names, and i dont think he should be praised for cheating and hurting his children. just a man trying to stay a boy for awhile longer.
I’m really surprised that are no responses to last nights episode where the divorce was announced.
They are a family. They should work it out because they have kids. The kids are raised great, you can see how happy they are. It sucks that strangers actually have an opinion on what they should do with their lives. They have a show. We obviously enjoy watching it, but there’s no script for them. Paparazzi at their house and following them around is creepy. But everyone’s so interested and their headlines make $. Pull the show off the air and they are stuck having to get jobs that my not support the families’ new lifestyle and keep they show going just feeds peoples’ desire to rubberneck. They are stuck in a tough cookie. It’ll get better as soon as the public loses interest and they keep the microscopes off them.
Ya kate she had always demeaned Jon know matter what he said…Especially everytime they would do there interviews, me and my husband would sit there and get so pissed off at her, but not only that she would scream at him in public which is so embarassing.. no matter he went to stray and i dont consent it but i am sorry for 10 years of thati would do the same thing.he is also trying to be 20 years old again if you haven’t noticed he has hs ears pierced and it’s not just one it’s not only one it’s 2 and he has diamonds hello act like a damn father you decided to have children and get married and so on be a man and grow up take care of those children and your wife.
Jon, Kate and their whole drama doesn’t strike me as incredibly different from millions of other families.
The only thing separating them from most people is the fact that they have a television show about their lives which has brought them huge wealth and fame.
I think that Jon is a good natured, good hearted person, but he seems very unintelligent. He does stupid things because he is stupid in many ways. Can you hold stupidness against a person? Ihat don’t know that he can be any smarter on his own, hence, marrying Kate was likely the smartest thing he ever did.
By contrast, Kate seems very bright, capable and intelligent, perfectly able to make good decisions about important, life issues. On the other hand, she lacks heart and a good natured spirit. In fact, she seems very shallow in many ways. She does not seem to be interested in anyone but herself and her immediate family, which is her right but is not a good fit for a television “charact
I worry that their children will be hurt in so many unnecessary ways because of their fame, but at the same time, all children who are part of a dysfunctional family unit suffer many hurts that these children will not.
With the divorce now public knowledge, it is time for TLC to pull the plug on this three ringed circus as neither Jon nor Kate will pull it themselves (Jon because he’s too dumb, and Kate because she’s too greedy).
Time to really put the kids first. It was a good run, the show started out very innocently and was once a lovely programme, but it has become very tawdry and has allowed the senior Gosselins to make ridiculous spectacles of themselves.
First off people saying Kate is a bitch don’t know HER, they take what they see on T.V. and assume. Didn’t your mothers teach you not to judge a book by its cover?! Jon made a HUGE mistake, he ruined things. I could call him a dick or scum but he already regrets what he has done. As for the whole cheating thing has it even be 100% proven? I just watched the first episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 and was nearly brought to tears. Kate is an organized person, if that makes her bitchy hell yea go for it because without her helping and being organized then how would they have done everything they did for these kids. This is such a sad situation and it is so sad that people have to assume they had children for money or blah blah leave them alone. I do wish they would stay together and try to work it out on behalf of their love they did have and probaly still do for each other and their beautiful children. As for the so called freebies, being upset with Kate or Jon is not who you all need to be upset with, it should be TLC for all the money they threw their way, all the corporations that thought they would help them out, Kate and Jon never asked for help or freebies they were given. Also writing a book is work! People that are throwing all this blame on Jon for his “cheating” and bar mistakes or Kate for being “bitchy” need to stop putting in their 2 cents on things they know nothing about. I feel so bad for this family and I hope that their minds could change and they decide to give it one last go all or nothing. There is soooo much more I could say or want to say on this but it is just hypocritical of me. But on an ending note. I feel that Jon is letting this all go because he is “only 32″ and thinks he can start over? You have 8 children sorry but no one wants to get mixed up in that shit. You are deeply saddened by Kate filing for divorce? Then do something about it!! Kate, “you don’t want to do this alone”? Then don’t!!! TRY to work things out! People make mistakes, you live and learn from them, then move on. Good luck and I hope things work out for the best for your family. I’m sorry for the 8 beautiful children. I’m sad for the deep love that you two shared…. that will just be let go.
So, right..that ship has sailed, Jon…you will find out the hard way when Kate has coupled with a real man.
People never really know what they have until its gone, do they?
I haven’t read all of the comments above because, frankly, I am tired about hearing about this crap on a regular basis…even the news (both am and pm) when I turn it on to hear about actual important things around the world, all I hear about is these people who brought about their own problems.
It takes two people…both have their own demons to face. I have seen the show…Kate is a very power hungary person who thinks that she knows it all. Jon is a man who doesn’t seem to be able to take a stand against her…basically…a wimp and a flake. I believe it’s been “rumored” that they have BOTH had affairs.
The main problem that no one seems to be really addressing is the affects that all of this crap is having on the children. They did not ask to be born. They did not ask for stardom on the boobtube. They did not ask for a dysfunctional family…but, hey…who doesn’t have a dysfunctional family? Theirs just is VERY VERY VERY public. In a time when it would be best for the children to take EVERYTHING off of the boobtube, Kate just seems to compound it. LAY OFF!!!
Get them OFF the air…Kate will continue their pathetic boobtube show even after divorce to prove herself…The kids need a break!!! The kids deserve to grow up without being under the public’s scrutiny.
I am sick of hearing about this “family” when I’m trying to hear about things that really matter around the world…i.e. the war in Iraq…
I have my fair share of problems as well…I’m raising a gorgeous son, who I had late in life and had a premature birth at 32-weekls after a turbulant pregnancy. My precious son is on disability bevause of epilepsy, but the severe GERD that he has (and already had major surgery for) is what takes the biggest toll. Plus, I had brainstem surgery in 2006 because of vasculor tumors. Then a two-level cervical fusion 10 months later and L5-S1 back surgery 5 months after that. Now I have 2 new tumors in my brainstem and face further surgery, or death, or both. Plus, I need L5-S1 rebuilt and fused since the disc collapsed.
I returned to school in 2004 and maintain a 4.0 gpa despite it all. My son’s paternal relatives have been dragging me through court for over 2 years to get visitation for the JUNKIE (proven fact) “father” who abandoned my son for 5 years.
No one raises money for me and my son…no one has offered a boobtube “deal”…Not one church has taken a collection on my behalf. That’s OKAY!! I don’t want or need anyone’s pity and I sure don’t want my son’s life in the spotlife taking away any further aspect of his childhood.
Other people have worse problems than my son and I…other people definitely have worse problems than Jon and Kate. Stop being boobtube “stars” and manipulating your children and take care of your own life…IN Private, where it belongs!!!!!
came upon this site purely by accident and was drawn by the blog title.
i can’t believe how involved and emotional many of you are over people you have NEVER met. you take a show that is filmed and then edited into 40 minutes.( the rest of the hour taken up with ads)of course they are going to edit the film so its interesting and that may include kate makeing sarcastic comments and john always seeing to bored and disinterested in his life. personally, i admire kates organization. john is probably an ok guy but he even said that he imagined himself at 50 married to a 19 year old. i suspect being the hip guy that he is being the father of 8 kids didnt fit the image he was going for.
We care about the kids being exploited. Many of us have been trying to get the kids representation.
They are working. They are being used as commodities. They are people and their parent use their emotional turmoil to garner ratings.
Child exploitation is wrong.
True That!
Doesn’t this whole thing remind you of what happened with the Dionne quintuplets in Canada about a half a century ago? They were so screwed up by the time they reached adulthood, and they were bitter to the end about how they had been exploited.
Missy – Yep, about 500 comments ago on another of my KON posts someone else pointed that out, too. Very sad, and I’m glad you brought it up here.
I never thought that I would find myself so disgusted with Jon. All along I have pretty much sided with him. He put up with a lot being married to Kate. For someone who has said he doesn’t like the public attention, he sure is eating it up now! I guess the attention is better when you are not seen as a father/husband, but as a play boy. I am not a big fan of Kate either, but at least she is not being seen with much younger men out partying up. I think she has more concern for her children, well aside from the exploitation thing. My heart goes out to these young children. I have seen enough of the smug Jon and his teeny boppin’ girlfriends! Find someone closer to your children Jon, insteard of NYC. That just proves you love the attention!!
Lynn, at this point they both just need to fade into the background. I can’t see how any of this is benefitting their children.
It’s a very sad state of affairs when all you need to do to become a celebrity in North America is get knocked up and have multiple babies. Why do you worship and put people like this up on such a high pedestal? Take a step back and ask yourself this question, then take a close look at your own life.
And you wonder why there is a Jihad going on….
I shudder to think of what will happen once Octomom’s show goes on the air.
I sent Kate an email via A&E’s website a year ago warning her that if she really treats Jon like she does on the show and it isnt just an act for ratings I wouldnt blame Jon for leaving her. He took it longer than i could have. Now that people have seen how she is she is gonna have a hard time finding someone to put up with her and 8 kids. I dont feel sorry for her at all. Jons new girlfriend is hotter anyway.
I don’t think I will be able to make myself watch Octomom’s train wreck!
Personally it is really difficult to like either one of these people. Jon is acting like a complete putz. I don’t really care how he thinks he was treated or abused or whatever by Kate. It does not excuse his hideous behavior. It is completely disgusting. The fact that some people refer to him as ‘hip’ confuses me. Is it hip to openly cheat on your wife? Bring women to your home to sleep with in front of your children before your divorce is final? Act like a complete jackass? I think not. Then we have Kate…Kate…Kate. It really amuses me when reality tv personalities begin to think that they are stars. She is certainly playing the part isn’t she? Plastic surgery. Designer clothing. Expensive vacations. And she claims it is all for her children. Although I don’t question that she loves her children, I think she has told herself that all she has done has been for the kids so she won’t feel guilty as she heads off to the spa. I really don’t think the kids at 5 would care if they lived in a 1.13 million dollar home or a $100,000 home. At any rate she is a human being however misguided she may be and does not deserve to be treated with such disrespect. So I guess if I had to choose between these two I would say thumbs down to Jon the Jackass.
Jon, I hope you read this.
You fucking suck you god damn korean slant eye chink mother fucker.
I hope you fucking die you piece of yellow flesh bag shit.
Im gonna spend a few resources to hunt you down.
Do you feel like your being watched??
You are.
Annon – Um, wtf? It’s one thing to say you hate him, another to make fun of his heritage and swear to hunt him down.
You should report him to the authorities. That poster is psycho and scary!
Kate is the most annoying personification of a mother and Jon is the total lack of personification of a dad, that said, the kids still pick him hands down over her! The show has outlived it value, tups have outgrown ‘cute’, twins need their privacy and Jon and Kate have nothing to offer. Show topics have nothing to make you want to watch – kids/dentists,doctors,barbers – trips to farms,museums,NC, theme parks – NEW houses,furniture, appliances, vehicles (all FREE), things for the kids – tummy tuck (ask for free boop job but was turned down by Jon’s GF’s daddy but obviously found someone else to do it), hair plugs, teeth whitening (offered to Jon and Kate demanded they do her teeth too), fake bake, new clothes for K & J (while most often the tup girls are in their striped sundresses and the boys in tees and cargo shorts), and on and on and ……… oh, and don’t forget Kate’s recent trips with just the tup boys – naval ship in heels, dude ranch in spikes but then switched to baby doll dress (so boops could hang out), cowboy boots and ugly cowboy hat – but not as ugly as the HUGE pink one worn in the interview chair), and let’s not forget the tup boys or girls or twins in the chair repeating each other, and then that brings up the tups (boys especially) copying each other whenever one says something during their segments with their lack of vocabulary and/or pronunciation at 5 + years old and the fact that they are in ‘junior’ kindergarten a couple of days a week because they were premature (or is it that keeping them in high chairs, bibs and drinking out of sippy cups way too long they don’t realize they aren’t still babies?) And speaking of babies – Kate’s baby talk or ‘ridiculously ridiculous’ use of words or her juvenilish way of making up her own words – wtf is with that? Enuf said, in case it isn’t apparent, I don’t care for the show or the “star” and her cast and wish it would all go away. OMG and then she’s invading The View Mon/Tues – I hope Joy and Whoopie eat her alive. Quoting some ignoramus “Lordy Bee” what on earth can she possibly ADD to the show with her lack of knowledge and intelligence!
Well November is a good guess being that the divorce was filed by Jon in June I believe. I feel sorry for the guy for sure. He needs some freedom because I tell you what he has turned into MR. MOM!! He can never get a break and when he does it ends up in Star Magazine. Kate continues to slap him around even on camera. She calls them her Love Taps??? No one who respects their other half slaps them on National Tv. So good luck Jon. You deserve some sanity, just be careful with the kids. You may want to get them some counseling right away because of the divorce. Trust me, I’m a child of a divorced family and I’m 35 years old now and it still bothers me that my parents were divorced. It’s heartbreaking and devastating. But, whatever you do please don’t try to keep things together for the children because trust me they know when something is wrong. It’s more devastating to see them fight. One more suggestion. You shouldn’t fight in front of the kids too because they will blame themselves and that’s no good either. I drowned my sorrows over my parents divorce 10 years after they were divorced, so trust me the pain doesn’t go away for the children. So, if you are looking for any suggestions, please email me at goomba98@yahoo.com Good Luck and enjoy your freedom for a while before jumping into any new relationships too!!! Take care, Michelle
Michelle – Who knows what will happen with these people.
I’m with you, Michelle. better to have a healthy divorced relationshio than an unhealthy marriage. It’s better to role-model being fair and mature than to subject the kids to years of verbal and emotional abuse (not to mention those “love taps”.)
Hey Polly, long time, no see.
This is all so PERVERTED and SICK VOYERISM!!! And very, very sick to show that our society watches this so called TV show. A so called network following young children around and filming their first bowel movement, a physco control freak mother and a dad who cannot speak up for himself.
It is SICK and I guarantee the whole world…more then one of these kids will have addiction and mental health issues their whole life…and some could even take their own lives. A 5 year old cannot answer for themselves and say I don’t want to do this….PARENTS TAKE CONTROL AND END THE “FREAK”…it’s all over the media and normal educated people don’t give a rats a%&. WE LOST 8 men in Afghanistan yesterday and it barely got coverage….ALL WE SEE IF THIS KATE THING SAYING THIS SHOW IS ALL I CAN DO AND HE STOLE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
America…wake up and send TLC a message that this vulgure experiment is over….but TLC will go ruin another family’s life.
IT IS OVER….I pray the young one’s do not end up abusing themselves because of the EXTREME VOYERISM!!
Diane – This show used to be about adorable children, and how hard it was just to feed them, let alone take them to a pumpkin patch.
That is the phoney smile That jon always uses and Hailey looks pretty phoney too!
