Star Magazine is reporting the following exclusive story (And thanks to Bobbycat who shared the link with me earlier today, and of course thanks to Star Magazine for publishing this!) about Jon and Kate Gosselin and their twisted marriage arrangement. The gig is up for the Gosselins. Aunt Jodi and Uncle Kevin are finally speaking up! People, it is time to stop watching, stop buying their stuff, and stop believing what they are telling you, because when a nice family like the Kreiders who were cut out of their life comes out to say this, then it IS TRUE. I believe this article with 100% of my heart.
I’m not going to watch the show anymore, or buy any of the products that advertise during the show or buy anything from sponsors on their future shows. I feel these kids are getting hurt by it. It makes me sick to my stomach to even read and post the following:
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.
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.
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.”

And, lastly, ACTUAL VIDEO OF KATE’S BROTHER & SISTER IN LAW TALKING ABOUT HOW THE MARRIAGE IS OVER:
Suck on that KON defenders. Because that VIDEO is REAL! Kate’s response to all of this:
“I don’t know that we’re in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing,” she says quietly. “I’ve been struggling with the question of ‘Who is this person?’ for a while. I remember where I was the first time I heard her name. It’s one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there’s blaring, red flashing lights.”
Nice of Kate to try and blame it all on Jon when they both have this arrangement. I LOVE that her own family just scrwed it all up for her. Poor Jon Gosselin, and all of those kids. Get a divorce, and move on with your life, you will finally be happy Jon.

Thank you so much for posting this and thank you Bobbycat for sharing the link. I’ve never seen a list like this before and it is truly astounding. No wonder Octomom got ideas…
wow that list is crazy….
hi u have done a nice piece of work and Thanks for this post ………
“It’s all for the kids. . . “
No problem! There’s just too damn much to keep up with these days, isn’t there?
And you KNOW the fucking sheeple have got a ‘hit’ (I don’t mean that literally) out Kevin & Jodi. They’d much rather believe a bar bouncer than blood relatives. The abundant stupidity continues to astound. Google ‘Hollywood Spotlite’-they have full scans of US & Star and just WAIT until you see the 2 page ‘Glamour Shot’ of Kate in People sitting on a stone walkway (?) in a dress, barefoot with fake fucking doe-eyes (more linke HO-EYES) making love (eew) to the camera. It’s disgusting. I might have to give up my subscription to People after this week. Cocksuckers.
This all may be true, but it also could not be…. I heard Jodi demanded a 7 figure salary to stay on the show and Kate AND John freaked due to the possiblility of loosing the show altogether. That puts a totally different spin on anything said by Jodi. And understandably, Kate and John would not want to loose the show. It’s a great source of income for them and as everyone else does in this world…if you have something everyone wants you can make money from it. It can be your music (Madonna) your great clothing (Donna Karen) your photographs (Annie Leboviotz) and all of these people have received “freebies” worth much more than that list written above. Don’t be hard on these people taking “freebies” the world surrives on “freebies”…all those companies got tons of advertisement and exposure for being on the show, which is why the give the stuff away. It’s cheaper than advertising in a magazine or commercial. We are also discouting the magical tv tool know as editing. Can you imagine the amount of footage TLC has on this family and for a half an hour we see kids whining and fighting and Mady kicking the little kids and John and Kate fighting, this all magically started happening in the last season. It’s possible that the stress of 8 kids has taken it’s toll on both of them or that they have always been this way and TLC’s editing has become more creative…and now thats all they show. Let’s face it, it’s all about the ratings for TLC and their ratingings have never been as good as when their is contraversy and scandel. So…as stated in the beiginning of this…it may be true and also may not be. So be careful about what you believe and write, someone may take it as truth and it may not be.
You “heard” that Jodi demanded money…where did you hear that from? If you could list a source for that, it would be great, because I have never read that anywhere. So if you’re just “hearing” this from the other ladies at the hair salon or your friend’s cousin who knows someone who knows someone…just say it.
Celebrities like Madonna, Donna Karen, and Annie Leboviotz are famous for their talents no for being parents on TV and selling their childrens’ name and images to the highest bidder. So there’s the difference.
About editing, it’s well known that Kate is actually edited to look better on the show. The few recent shows that I saw (the moving ones and the one where they take the dog to the vet) they can’t even come up with footage of Kate with the children. Don’t you think if they had her on camera with the kids they would show it? Isn’t that what the show is supposed to be about? But no, she’s working as hard as she can to be away from her family as much as possible, and I doubt the production team and TLC are happy that she is never available for filming.
It seems like they’ve made enough money to be comfortable, I would think if she wanted to be with them she would take a break and be there for the kids (at least for filming, that is her bread and butter after all!).
baaa baaaa baaaa
Kathy,
I LOVE the way you put it. I agree w/100%. I been watching the Gosselins for 2+, my family n’ I love the show n’ wll continue to watch fatefully. Things have change w/the family dynamic but that’s what happens sometimes!
A fan of child exploitation are you??
Must be proud!!
Kathy, come on!
And, doe eyed Kate in People? Pass. I’m never buying another magazine again that profiles them after they seperate. Seriously. I’m so done with their facade. This is something I never even imaged, how horrible to pretend to be a loving mother and wife. Makes my tummy sick.
And, you guys, after reading that list, I wonder what the IRS is going to do, oh my!
Gotta go, LOST is on. That ass kicking is awesome.
Unfortunately the IRS won’t beable to do anything to miss ‘doe eyes’ or Jon because they were all ‘gifted’ to them. It will be interesting to see if the government tries.
Bats0711 – I am under the impression that you have to claim gifts over $10,000 to the IRS. I could be completely wrong … but I beleive this to be true.
Hello GFTG! Long time reader (your page is like delicious pixie stick crack!), first time poster. I had to comment this time around. I remember from one of your earlier posts how you mentioned why all of us enjoyed this bit o’ reality in the first place…What a charming couple! What adorable kids! Oh, and they’re all working hard (or so we thought) to make life happen, to make ends meet. Then of course we’ve evolved into what it is today. Today I saw a preview (I’m only limited to previews–oh god the incessant previews of this stupid show!) of an upcoming show on a TLC bumper, and I’ve nary seen Jon around in these new episode ‘sneak peeks’. Plus, have you seen in previews how snarky she is to Emeril Lagasse and to that ‘Ace of Cakes’ guy (Duff? I think that’s it). Her casual insolence towards the public is just indefensible!! The whole thing is sickening. The lengths to make it all seem so normal, the blasé disposal of family and friends (“didn’t need them anyway, too busy counting my Scrooge McDuck stacks of gold”). Her belittlement, his passiveness, to watch these adults go to their own mental pleasure islands and forget that they’re parents and not college kids anymore. His carousing with young girls and her endless, mindless book tours (it’s not like she’s touting Thoreau!). The children never having the ability to choose their own privacy. My friends and I have expressed our concern on how their lives will surely to haunt them in the future, played back in front of them as humiliation as a High School prank or University joke. Have you seen how mean teenagers are these days? It’s dizzying to watch the rampant consumerism, the greed under the guise of ‘it’s for the kids’, ‘we’ll do anything so our children will be exposed to such opportunities’!! Bah Humbug, this is a girl who is trying to relive a childhood she dreamed of, almost totally regressing into a carefree single girl and forgetting about her family (or any sort of moral compass). Life sucks for everyone at times, and her sense of entitlement to this new lifestyle is nauseating. One more spa trip and I’ll yack on my keyboard!! His lack of testicular backbone, to keep this family together and keep her inline has made me grateful for the strong men (oh hell, women!) in my life! I hope to any god out there that no one gives this woman a talk show. She doesn’t deserve it (the flippant cow), she has no credentials and she lacks any sort of journalistic/communications background. I hope they both take up honest work again, the kids need to see that a positive attitude and good work ethic and not cameras is what real life is about. I stopped watching the show several months back, I saw way to many Ziploc bags and Swiffer logos to care anymore. There’s a line in the movie Fargo that I come back to when I think of this whole situation, it’s spoken by Chief Gunderson after the whole plot has unraveled, it is very wise, “…and for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little money, you know. Don’tcha know that? And here ya are, and it’s a beautiful day. Well. I just don’t understand it.” And I don’t understand it, they have 8 healthy, happy (well, we’ll see in 10 years) children and they had a decent relationship at one time (you can see bliss in their eyes at one time in old video). And all seemingly thrown away for luxury. Three cheers for luxury. How I hate that they’ll learn what they really lost when the cameras finally leave and they have to send these bright children to the psychiatrist’s office thrice weekly. Mr. Rogers is reeling in his grave at how screwy this all is. I just wish they’d stop it, and stop it now. America has to give up this reality kick and leave it to well written shows you know, with ‘real acting and stuff’ (like “Lost” hehe!!). If reality is making a family give up everything that is fine and good in life, for the sake of ‘comfort’, then we’ve arrived in some sort of Orwellian nightmare! Rant over, two cents in the mail, keep up the great work! If only for my entertainment.
L.S. Barbie – I loved the long time reader, first time commenter, omg! You are so funny. I love to hear that you’ve come out of the ghetto closet and joined us. Welcome! I try hard to make it fun, but I’m not perfect, and plenty people hate what I have to say. Goddness, the hate I read on here is so funny and so sad all at once.
I’d love to talk smack with everyone about KON today, but I’m having a mini nervous break down. Health stuff galore, and now I just found out work has to lay off one person. Yikes! But I’ll be back tomorrow, so keep it coming people, keep it coming.
LeisureSuit Barbie,
U made me laugh!
I “hear” that Kate wants to be a talk show host which is why she has changed her look….she use to be relatable to me, now she just looks like any other Hollywood asshole.
my huband just started watching this show and he thinks jon just took a well-deserved chance to have a little honey on the side.
guess i better stop slapping my husband around when he’s breathing too loudly!
I would knock some sense into him if he thinks that husbands ever deserve “a little honey on the side”. Ask him if the same applies to wives.
Debbie – Yeah, you go girl with that speech.
haha xtina…
i was floored seeing that pregnant photo. so hard to believe that is her! This is a first season or so promo photo and it’s so unbelievable how much she has changed in appearance! ghetto girl you must do a post just on that alone and gather as many photos as you can! http://www.superstarcouples.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jon-and-kate-gosselin.jpg
I can’t stand this woman!
I agree, that would be interesting. I can tell she’s had major face work, and I’m sure we won’t be seeing that episode on TLC anytime soon!
Kate and Jon are going to blame the TV show and media for their crappy life now. This is all going to be a pitty party for the Gosselins. The fans will be out crying for the Gosselin marriage and support them 100% even though this white trash couple have been using their kids from the time they were in utero. This couple makes me sick. They pimp out their kids, throw away their families, get millions of dollars, etc etc and they still want more. More meaning a pitty party.
Kate & Jon probably have had an open marriage for 6 years. This train wreck will never stop. I bet that they will get even more $$ not that they are in trouble.
I so hate this couple. They need to go away. I do like Aunt Jodi thought and always did. I am so glad that the Gosselin bubble popped but I can just imagine what the creepy, sick, crazyfans are saying?
I just went on some pro-Gosselin sites and those people are so stupid and gullible. Some actually beieve that that is not Jodi and Kevin and that they are lying like the rest of the sources. And that Kate is a great person and mother and their lives are happy and all the kids are happy.
Are people really thind blind?
I’m not gullible or stupid. I’d like to slap that smirking Jodi silly and that big blabbing rat of a husband of hers too. Where was all that concern for the children when she was on the show? One thing that is evident to everyone is that there’s no loyalty in Kate’s family. Jodi had no impact on the show whatsoever. Her personality is missing and she comes across as being as interesting as day-old bread. Stale and boring. The show is about the 8 Gosselin children and their parents. Get over it Jodi and rat-fink brother, whose name doesn’t deserve to be stated in print. If Kate and Jon are through, I guess their families and those of you firing off here will feel justified. Let me tell all of you one little thing. Envy and malice are no less sins than greed.
Atlanta – I couldn’t disagree with you more. You have got to be a plant, as I feel very strongly that Aunt Jodi loved those kids, and she was fun and it was so nice to see here handle those kids plus her own, and do messy things like god forbid, gum and chocolate suckers with them. She added a much needed sense of levity on the show. Kate’s constant stress was tiring. Its obvious to me that you are one of the Gosselin people who come to blogs and spew out crazy to defend them. No one in the planet would agree with you. I’m sorry, I feel Kate chose to leaver her family behind for $$ and fame and it is not the other way around. Who agrees with me here, because I need you to speak up!
I am sooooooooooo sick of hearing about how hard it is to raise 8 kid for this couple. My parents did it!!! My Dad worked 2 and sometimes 3 jobs so that my Mom could stay home with us, there were days when we did not see Dad because he would take a sleeping bag with him and catch what sleep he could in between jobs!!! I know there are many many large families that make it on their own, and just because you have a set of twins and a set of sextuplets (ok its special) it still adds up to 8 kids, and they are only dealing with 2 age groups!
BTW on the list of freebies the dogs are listed, didn’t the episode showing the family going to pick out the dogs, or Kate picking out the dogs, show Kate writing a check for the dogs? I am confused here.
It was hard to see *if* she wrote a check. I was more agasp that she kept asking if she could bring them back.
Me, too. Why would you ever say that about a pet? Seems to be it is because you don’t want it in the first place.
ok, that is just insane. The poor dogs!!!
Calamity, your Dad is in a group of men that I call “old school men” they were like my grandfather, he had 5 kids and worked his ass off….Im sure your dad is a wonderful man.
berkslocal I was FLOOOORED when I turned on the TV and saw that they were not buying 1 but 2 big dogs….I just kept saying “are the effin’ kidding me?” I have 2 boys and when they asked for a dog I flat out said “No way” because I do not have the time for a dog and it would not be fair to the dog. But of course the Gosslins had to get 2 dogs so there is some added frikkin drama!! and of course we had to listen to Maddy whine whine whine about the dogs, that kid would whine with a loaf of bread under each arm… I never thought I would say this but I do not like that child…..I officially stopped watching their show because of her, I wanted to just smack her mouth.
I was hoping that now the bubble has burst that this couple of media whores would just go away. But now I fear that this will just make them more popular. Of course the Kate supporters will be saying that Kevin and Jodi are liars, Kate is so strong, look at the way she is handling all this stress. Give me a freakin’ break! This woman should be ashamed of herself! She keeps on saying it’s all for the kids. I guarantee you those kids would gladly give back all the trips and stuff to just have a happy intact family. And as far as the Kevin and Jodi interview: They have no ax to grind. It’s obvious from the first few seasons that they love those children like their own. I cannot wait until the show ends, Jon starts spilling his guts and hopefully even the production crew will start spilling all the secrets of what an evil witch this woman is. It’s high time that the viewing public needs to stop rewarding bad behavior and making people famous for no reason or for being an asshole. It’s time for the gravy train to end, NOW! Kate go home and take care of your family instead of out promoting books that you say you don’t care if they sell even one copy. And also , quit acting like the show is now your job and there is nothing else you can do. You do have a nursing degree, do you not? Although, second thought, hell I would never let you come near me with a needle!
Xtina, finally someone echoes my sentiments
regarding Maddy! That kid irks me to no end.
As for Mom and Dad, they have been coming off
as “high and mighty” for some time. It’s a wonder that any business would want to put
themselves through the DRAMA of giving them
anything! Kate always ruins every outing they
go on. Ahhhh!, don’t get cake icing, finger paint,
grass stains on your clothes! Jon!!!!!
Give me a break. My niece has eight kids from
pre-school age through college and does it with-
out all the drama and bitching!
The dog thing bothered me too. I wondered how
long it would be until something happened to
one of them. It didn’t take too long before the
one was in surgery. I wouldn’t have given them
anything, let alone a living creature. How ir-
responsible and self-promoting of the breeder.
Well, I have stopped watching also, can’t stand
all the stress. How come the Duggers with 18
kids seem to have it all together. The difference
has to be the parents. Clearly Kate and Jon
aren’t emotionally equipped to handle eight.
[b]She keeps on saying it’s all for the kids. I guarantee you those kids would gladly give back all the trips and stuff to just have a happy intact family[/b]
*clap clap clap* All she is raising is kids who think things, trips ,etc… are just handed to you for free.
Khate + 8 little money makers
hey, some more:
- they OWN a condo in Park City Utah where Jon,his bar whore, and her friend were seen for several days at a spring festival a couple of weeks ago.
-their 1st house was renovated by the community for the arrival of the 6tups, adding 50K to it’s worth. They promptly sold it.
-they have a full-time organic chef for the family
———————————————————
There’s just no underestimating the gullibility of churchgoing middle-America who still believe this is an all-’Mercan family.
That’s interesting, because in the latest people mag , and I quote ” Do I prefer that he was feeding them pizza instead of the organic meals I prepared in advance?” I very much doubted she was home slaving away cooking anymore!
Kate and Jon… the pride of pennsyltucky.
But… but!
Kate will do a benefit appearance at the Milton Hershey School’s Catherine Hall on Saturday, May 23. There is a fee, with proceeds to benefit the Ronald McDonald House charities in central pennsyltucky – including the one right across the road from the Hershey Med Center where Kate birthed her litter.
and yet another reason I am glad we don’t get tv. At least I can honestly say they’ve not made a dime off me.
If kate is having an affair I hope that dudes wife beats her into next week. I can’t stand what little bit I’ve seen of Kate..she’s a spoiled rotten bitch and jon still has no balls. You would think on that long list of shit somebody has provided them somebody on this planet would either help Jon find his or buy him a fucking pair!
They are both losers in my book. The show needs to be stopped. They need to live on what they’ve earned so far (AKA a FUCKING BUDGET KATE)! and when it’s getting low tide in the $$ pool…they both can go get jobs.
This is craziness. Octopussy is craziness , Duggars..Ok that’s wicked craziness too but at least the dude worked for his money (ok he’s a what a governor so he kind of worked for it)…this kind of crap has got to stop. Our economy is going down the toilet and this is the kind of crap america is spending money on. “WE” are supporting these losers! I for one say ENOUGH!
Again GFTG..nice reporting job and let’s just say NO to KON!
I completely agree with you except for one thing. The duggers are god people who have there kids because of their believes. They had all their children natural and they have worked for everything they have unlike other people (john and Kate). There kids are well behaved and respectful and the gosslins could learn a thing or two from them. Stessful to have 8 kids my ass. Me and my husband have 5 kids and live on a military salary that is barely anything and yes its stressful but im not going to run out and ruin my kids childhood by putting them on tv so that i can have a little less stress. Jon and Kate you should be ashamed and honestly after rading these blogs not only will i not watch the show but I will not buy any thing that they mention on their show. Thank you gftg for your blog you are the only one with some common sense

Someone – So are you!
She is a horrible emasculating wench. He should have been out the door years ago.
GAHHH.
Thank goodness I ONLY watch the show for the kids. Those kids better not be fake either.
New On TMZ.com May 15, 2009
Kate Gosselin’s Bodyguard-The new Costner?
According to Detroit radio personality Mojo from Mojo in the morning Jon & Kate plus 8′s Kate Gosselin is getting hands on with her bodyguard -and he saw it with his own eyes! Mojo says he saw Kate and her busted weave last night at the Marriott with her hired protector, Steve Neild…and they were holding hands!
Jane, THAT is hysterical!
She was also shown writing a check for the organic cow
When did parenthood become a thing about money? I think these reality shows are ruining families because they become more focused on what more can they get instead of what can they give.
I was a fan of the show until watching Kate’s abusive ways with Jon became old and tiring. She complains all the time how motherhood is tiring. Everything with her is me, me, me. Get over yourself honey!
Ciao!
Nice blog I really like it!
Can I tips you about my new blogg, it is about travel in Italy, spread the word!
Alexander – I love Italy, had a great time while I was there! I will have to check out your blog soon.
I was watching the show and enjoying it until I realized Kate is quite mean bitch and doesn’t appreciate much. I was watching the show where they were greening their new home and she is such a stuck up peice of crap. Who does she think she is? Get real, I won’t watch show…I really enjoy the children and the laid back way of Jon…Seems like he got hustled into this crap.
Nearlynormal – I missed that show on purpose, but a lot of people have said she was acting horrible on it.
hey sauer kraut. Eff you and your pennsyltucky comment. We’re not all bad! Besides there is a HUGE difference between the bible belt states and a state like PA. Where are you from anyway that’s so amazing some futuristic green city that only plays techno and has iphones attached to their head? (sorry just defending my state) PA’s got the full gamut from city to suburbia (central PA’s a hotbed for new neighborhoods too) and yes rural (God forbid a farm). Hey, it’s kind of nice to see people driving the speed limit and using turn signals once in a while.
Nothing wrong with loving God either. There are problems though when those that claim to be good christians mutate their faith for their fancy as in what we may be seeing with J&K currently.
Anyhow, my wife and I watched a few seasons but pretty much stopped the last season and a half. I honestly couldn’t handle Kate’s bitching. I would try my best to understand what it must be like and how I may act if in the same situation. I can’t see myself being that bad. If anything, I would guess that I would be more lax than strict (too much to get worked up over).
Jon was alright in my book (based on the way he is on the show) I always felt like he would be a more assertive and involved father but didn’t want to rock the marital boat and deal with an argument (I would probably feel the same way).
I am very worried though for those kids to be in a split household should the couple get divorced. Hopefully, somehow, the couple will come to their senses end this show and try to get back to some semblance of normal living. That’s the best I can see for this to work out if at all.
hopefully whatever happens has the least impact on these young and impressionable kids.
Somedude – Was there an actual persone on here named Sauer kraut? LOL. I myself have been to PA, I loved State College, it is a fun college town. I’m pro small town and pro country, so I’m not sure who you are directing this comment to. Of course people honestly care about those kids from watching the show and no one really wants any family to be divorced. But if this marriage pact thing is really true, I just find that so awful. Whatever happened, happened. We can’t change how KON live their lives, but I sure wish I knew way less about them.
Good article, but you didnt address where you got this info from, the list you provided is from this website, and you used it verbatim. I could care less about jon and kate, but I think you should be noting where you copy your posts from:

Thats not cool at all.
Stacey, I already did. You must have missed it, being so busy pointing fingers at me. And I even thanked them for writng the piece, duh! And I put links to both Star Magazine and Us Weekly. Your OMG post took it from one of them, as it was written later than their original posts.
You all can read more here, and thank you, US Magazine, for breaking this story as well!

I hope Jon and Kate have a good tax account or attorney and realize that all those frebees are considered income by the IRS. If not they could be in big trouble.
Stacey, I bolded the links, since you didn’t see them the first time. Trust me, I beleive in giving credit where credit is due.
My favorite Ghetto Girl….I read this and totally thought of you! I hope you appreciate this little tidbit.

Audra – Oh, lord, those pictures of Kate making those mean faces! I want one for myself. She looked so mean in that one with Mady. You guys have got to check them out, thanks for the link!
OH wow, just look at her face and the screaming kid….
Spam – It may be the meanest face ever caught on film of any mom I’ve ever seen.
as for the check writing she so often does… i have a thought that perhaps $4 are pre-deposited into her account so that when she writes the checks THEY look good.
LJ – Oh, yes, you never know if she is just writing void on them, lol!
All for “cute” kids
To all the congregations who have donated love offerings to help support our family through the years, thank you for your generosity. It put food on our table, enabled our children to attend private schools and to pay for their college funds. Most importantly, it helped Kate and I to grow a substantial nest egg for retirement.
Now that we rake in $75,000 per episode, $3,000 for speaking engagements, $150 for Meet and Greet Teas w Kate, $20 for autographs, a huge sum for writing books, magazine and television interviews, not to mention all the free items we receive from sponsors, we are happy to report that Jon no longer has to clip coupons.
We must say Kate really enjoys flying first class and having body guards *they make her feel important* since she has become a celebrity. She even is thinking of opening a chain of tanning salons to capitalize on everyone’s desire to appear orange just like her.
Thank you so much for dropping those dollars into the collection plate during all those services. We struggled and lay awake at night wondering how we could afford to build our new “Green Energy” 8,000 sq home on 40 acres. We scrimped and saved and here we are now just 2 years later. Our only complaint is that it is sometimes really difficult dealing with an off camera house staff and two free puppies!!
Again from the bottom of our hearts… thank you and God Bless you.
Our regards,
Just an Average Un-Realistic Family of Multiples
P.S. Please don’t interpret our appreciation as an invitation to trespass on our property or appear on any of our new episodes.
Seems to be alot of tit for tat going on between Jon and Kate. One cheats the other cheats, one goes out and buy a new car so does the other. Kate is currently driving a brand spanking new BMW (dealer plates still on it) If I hear its about the kids one more time I’m going to vomit!!!!
Where did you get the info. about her driving a new BMW? Just curious.
There was a picture on website where there showing the kids going to Party City…also, its shown at the kids b-day party in front of the van (it’s white). I have to find the webiste to see where I saw it.

Jane: This is where I saw the pictures of Kate’s new wheels.
Franny – Wowza, nice car.
Frankly, even if it is true, I would still think what Jodi and Kevin did is wrong. You don’t blurt out other people’s family issues for the press. It’s a mean and thoughtless move on their part regardless of the truth.
Mia – Perhaps they are sick of hearing her lies about Jon and HAD to speak up. I mean, even Jon’s old boss did, because he was sick of hearing that Jon was fired because of insurance reasons.
I believe that something is going on..(it’s obvious), but I believe the media blows things way out of proportion. And just to clarify, Jon and Kate did not receive those solar panels for free, they talk about how they paid for them on the show, and also Kate writes a check for the two dogs when they got them.
I know they’ve received TONS of other things for free, but I’m pretty sure people in their situation would as well. You can never really judge people until you are in their own situation.
Danielle- I just included the list that was reported at Us Magazine and they say she received them free. I didn’t watch the show because I’m done with TLC. Of course the media surrounding them is crazy, but when they are on tv for years, hire bodyguards, and spoke out publically about their marriage, what else do you respect. If they didn’t address it, no one would have cared so much. I think people who gave to them wanted to help a nice family in need. Do they still seem in need to you? Fancy cars, bodyguards, dinners at Mr. Chow? That is real celebrity stuff. I’ve never put them down for accepting stuff for the kids, but the church offerings? KON makes plenty of money and should never accept the love offerings.
You know what people…what kind of family goes and tries to screw their own sisters life up!!!??? Wow, you guys believe all this! Well guess what…these people are only after money as well and that is what they got paid for saying all of these LIES that they are saying!! Must be nice to give up family for a little bit of cash!
Erin – You are a fool is that is what you believe. People are coming forward because they can’t take the lies that are being told.
Yeah, just the way Kate gave up her kids and their “normal” childhoods for cash?
LOL Jane!
Word.
Yeah, when Kevin and Jodi were taking care of sick kids puking and empying potties all over the house they were thinking, “someday we’ll cash in on these kids too.”
Truth hurts, sorry about that. Maybe you need to worship someone who isn’t a raging fucking bitch!
Snarky – I always love you!
Lol!
..a.nd the drama continues…
From Perez Hilton….
(start quote)As if their actual show wasn’t already like sitting in on a therapy session, now the Gosselin couple are going to ACTUAL therapy and the audience maybe tagging along.
Due to their recent marital woes, Kate and Jon Gosselin have started seeing a marriage counselor to work out their issues. One would think that the pair would keep this aspect of their lives private, as to overcome their ordeals in private.
They would, if Kate wasn’t a money-grubbing famewhore!
Reports say that Kate was initially totally against the idea of a counselor and only agreed to it in order to keep their TLC show on the air.
The new season of the show is slated for next week and Kate is looking to sign on for at least two more seasons.
“Kate wants a future in showbiz, and airing their counseling sessions will shoot the show’s ratings through the roof,” suggested an insider.
Hopefully, she’s really in it for the kiddies and Jon. She doesn’t have much of a career without them.
(end quote)
oh my goodness. I thought counseling was supposed to be private. Otherwise it would be counterproductive. Which is more important, saving the marriage or raking in the bucks? How is counseling supposed to work with a bunch of people watching you on TV? It restricts you from telling the truth and being honest about what’s really going on, because of all the people watching… and all the other people who could use it to gossip, etc etc.
Spamwarrior – I think that the ratings for the show Monday are going through the roof. That is why TLC is making them do it. I find this wrong, and we should not know what goes on privately in their marriage. I am NOT watching in protest.
Xtina – I find it funny that Perez jumped on the KON bus, I thought he just talked about real celebrities, lol!
Kate should really give up the idea of being a talk show host or something along those lines. She just doesn’t have the personality for it. I think if she want to be on TV she should be on a soap opera playing one of those evil bitches after all it wouldn’t be a stretch, she could be herself since she doesn’t have talent.
Maybe she can get a show on Animal Planet
“Hairstyles that look like Beaver’s asses”
Franny – I love your idea. I can see her battling Susan Lucci in my head right now. Excellent suggestion. She is more Jerry Springer to me than Oprah.
Hey girl, could you TWEET this for me?? I don’t have twitter but somebody suggested it and you are the only twitterer I’m aware of (I know, I need to get into it but my life isn’t really anything anybody would want to follow.)

OMG you need to get a dose of reality? Do you think any famous person in the world pays for anything? YES Jon and Kate are reaping the benefits of being famous … but they are famous and we all made them that way. Leave them alone. No one is happy unless the more fortunate people are suffering. You build them up just so you can knock them down. As for Kevin and Aunt Jodi… give me a break! You beleive their story 100% It’s as simple as this. Jon and Kate get rich. Kevin and Jodi do not. Kevin and Jodi are upset because they don’t get a piece of the pie. It’s exactly like the families who win the lottery – everyone wants something. Kevin and Jodi should be ashamed of themselves. They say in an interview they are concerned about the kids — speading more gossip is not helping. I think Kevin and Jodi are concerned about their bank account. Period.
Yeah, right. When they took care of sick kids and emptied dirty potties their thoughts were all about making money. When Kevin did all the construction jobs for Kate’s house, it was all about money.
Sorry, but you are a fucking idiot if you think Jodi and Kevin care about money. They helped Jon and Kate and didn’t even know money was offered because KATE didn’t want them to get paid. MOST people on reality shows get paid. They did it for free until Kate stopped it because Jodi was getting popular. Jon admitted he just deleted Jodi’s fan mail.
Kevin and Jodi are concerned about the kids. Period.
I couldn’t agree more Snarky!
I’d like a TV crew to follow you around and see how PERFECT you all are.
You should be ashamed. Leave this family alone.
Juanita – I think it is funny that both you and Meesh commented seconds away from one another, telling me off. Then again, both of you have the same IP Address. It is abvious to me that you are either working for the Gosselins, trying to bust balls on anyone who speaks out against them, or you are demented. Go get a better job or a better life, loser.
HAHAHAH! SAme IP address! LOVE IT! BUUUUUUURN!
BUSTED!
They are all so dumb and the say the exact same thing. Always the same. So lame.
They will be left alone when they stop being on our TV, magazines, talk shows, news shows, gossip shows, commercials, other shows we watch.
They go away and stop SELLING THEIR CHILDRENS PRIVATE MOMENTS . . . we will stop criticizing.
We don’t expect perfection. Privacy.
STAR magazine???
Great source Ghetto Girl.
Gee I guess it must be TRUE then that Angie walked in on Jen and Brad.
Cindy – Oh, look, you are also Juanita and Meesh, too. LOL! Go get on another computer, asswipe.
I’m sorry… WHO needs a better job?
YOU ARE A LOSER!
LOSER
Cindy/Juanita/Meesh – I’m the one with the blog, and you are the one faking names to tell me off over and over about a tv show? Wow, you really feel that I am the loser? Go get another hobby you weirdo.
oooh, words on a computer.
Don’t cry Girl, Cindy thinks YOU are a loser even though she comes on YOUR blog and obviously reads what you write.
The only losers are people who are supporting a fake show, fake marriage, and fake children.
oh, wait. The children are real. So is their pain and the lies their parents told them. “We will be together for ever and ever.” The kids are the only real things about this show!!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/free-the-gosselin-8
TV Snark – You are my Knight in Shinning Armor. Thank you for always defending me, when i’m absent and attending to my life. These people are dumb, and they make me laugh rather than pissed. But you are always so sweet for sticking up to me.
Sources? wanna talk about sources? Kate admitted it all herself in her own words, I think that’s a pretty good source, really, Star magazine didn’t have to do much digging on the fame whore.
XTina- These people will never listen, because I am positive now that it is Kate or her minions doing her dirty work trying to personally put me down. It is just pathetic. I have never said they should have not done the show in the first place, only said that now that all the kids are in school it is time to end the show. They can still do specials, write books. The show should end, as well as accepting love offerings. And how is it right for her to be gone 21 out of 30 days away from eight kids under age nine. Two kids is a lot of work for one parent. But eight? Not fair, and not right in my book.
why don’t you all get a life, seriously.
stop being so judgmental.
you don’t know these people, you don’t know the truth.
and even if you did, it’s not your place to comment on their lives and their decisions.
stop spending so much time bitching about people that you don’t know, and actually GET A LIFE.
A life? Where???
Stop spending so much time defending liars, fakes, con artists and frauds.
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/free-the-gosselin-8
why are you all so willing to make negative judgments of people you don’t even know?
stop being so bitter.
Getalife – Ditto!
You all make me laugh, this is HER blog, her thoughts, her opinions, she can write about whatever she wants…if you dont like it, then dont read it!! Its so simple! You talk about how she has no life? What kind of life do you have if you are running around bashing people on their own blogs, again, HER opinions, thoughts and feelings.
Go on with your life then, really, does it affect you so badly?
Xtina – Word!
Girl…so sorry to hijack your blog yet again but I just keep finding these juicy tidbits that amuse me to no end. Everyone has something to say about this bitch!
http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/15-celebrities-that-look-hot-with-kate-gosselins
Audra – I don’t mind at all, because I don’t search the net much anymore. I like that it is just handed to me here.
OMG, Spencer and Heidi! LOL, that was funny.
I came downstairs this am to my mom asking me who Heidi and Spencer Hill were. After I set her straight that they are celebutards, I realized that someone actually put them on a talk show and actually thinks these two idiots are famous.
Audra – I have no clue why either one has fame, except i know that they like to throw weddings and make crappy music videos. Bless your mom’s heart, lol!
i love how ppl spend all their time worrying about other ppls lives.. everything that jodi and kevin were saying sounded like it was bein read off a damn que card…
Moi – Even the President uses teleprompters. Maybe they wrote out what they wanted to say first. BTW, I love how you love how we worry about KON. You are wasting time here, too.
well.. either way im glad to see your obsession and jealousy of jon and kates life. its ppl like u who tear marriages like theirs apart. =] idiot.
why is everyone so jealous of kate gosselins, ESPECIALLY, “thegirlfromtheghetto”? it is surely a sign of the times when vultures like that and others come out of the wood work to snipe and put down kate. Sure she is “bossy” to jon, that’s part of her and many other people’s personality and perhaps is why she is such a draw to watch on tv. all these vultures carp and criticize YET THEY STILL WATCH because of their fascination. this is reality tv and the jon&kate+8 are interesting to watch!
Lalaland – I don’t still watch. Get your facts straight before you wrongly accuse me. And, I have never heard of Kate Gosselins, just a Kate Gosselin, you moron.
What the hell you think all these rich celebrities who have lots of money to buy whatever they want are not getting more free stuff then them.They tell you themselves that when they go to award shows they get goodie bags and some of these goodie bags are worth hundrends of thousands of dollars.This family did this because you wanted to know about their life and know you want to complain because they get free stuff.Get a life!!!!
Eva – I am not complaining about free trips to the zoo, or clothes, educations. I am only complaining about them accepting love offerings.
Did you give any money to the love offerings? I didn’t either. But I don’t care that someone did. If that’s how they want to spend their money so be it. Are the Gosselins wrong for excepting it. NO they put the bait out there and caught some “fish”.
Kate is not famous for anything except finding a way to have her kids sell their souls to make money for her.I don’t care how much money she gets or where she lives,just as long as I don’t have to look or listen to her whining.I used to watch the show when it started,but I had to stop when I found myself yelling at Kate on my tv and cringing at the way she spoke to everyone.You need some serious help if you think Kate actually cares that you are defending her!
GFTG – I’m with you on not watching out of protest tonight. They are leading you to believe their are going to be great revealations. It’s totally a publicity stunt. I don’t see them saying anything more than they have already.
ooo and also, regarding Kate being away from her kids so much, she claims she gives them emotional support by phoning them in her free time. Gee, if only that’s all there was to being a mother.
embarrassing that you’re all probably depriving your own children by spending so much time on here.
..and don’t get all “ditto” on me again.
ps. “girl from the ghetto”
^ embarrassing name, makes you sound like the biggest dick around
Ok, then I will say it GET A LIFE…..jackass.
XTina – LOL!
tgftg-sorry to jump right on here,I am new to blogs.I just saw yours and loved your name,btw.I had to tell GET A LIFE that I think I heard her family calling her, baaaaa baaaa.
Getalife – My name is an inside joke, so that is why YOU don’t understand it. But, thanks for calling me a dick. I don’t think I’ve ever been called one, lol. I find it more embarassing that you are wasting YOUR time telling ME I’m a dick, lol!
Everyone, since a few of you have asked me to keep the KON posting alive, I will leave this one post open for now. Enjoy!
Getalife! Embarassing that you continue writing if you think we shouldn’t spend time on here. Your posts make you sound like a DICK! Leave Girl alone, go post on Ilove douceykate.com! Maybe you are Kate.
Audra – Thanks for the defense!
Do you have children and if so where are they when you post such things. I do and mine are in bed. I bet your kids are tugging @ your robe asking for juice, as you shrug them off and say “in a minute” LOL.
**hangs head in shame** I watched Mondays episode! While I respect ghetto girls decision not to watch any longer, I will miss the blogs following each episode.
As much as I enjoy seeing the kids (minus Mady, can’t stand her) I wish they would just quit this show & either repair their marriage or just divorce. Once this show is off the air, the press will no longer give a rat’s ass what these people are doing. Come on, Kate, do that for the kids.
Can you imagine the child support payments for 8 kids?
As for all the “fans”…. take your Kate loving asses elsewhere… like to a fansite.
Lis – I know all about the first episode. Not only did my morning radio show talk about it for an hour, but all of my co-workers wanted to discuss the show with me, as I was the one who introduced them to it in the first place. I’lll say this from what I have heard – those two are not happy. And the show sounds dumb now, I want to see kids, not a husband and wife ignoring one another. I find it laughable that Kate had production assistants help her decorate for the party … she has no friends left.
How old is this person stating that they cannot stand a child?
I noticed that you named several freebee’s but left an older one out.. Kate’s tummy tuck.. I know those have to be spendy!
Jeniece – Kate needed that tummy tuck so bad. And really, that has never bothered me, no one should walk around with a stomach that scary.
NUmber 1: Kate did not grow up in a trailor park, I know that for a fact. So this article is invalid.
Also, Kevin says to focus on what’s most important, and stop trading your marriage and family for fame and fortune
He is getting good money to give interview about his sister…He is getting paid to say things about his family members…How is he any better?? That is the pot calling the kettle black !
Have you seen a copy of the canceled check or did you read that on a gossip site that is only correct when it speaks against Kevin and Jodi?
LOL. Snarky, you’d be interested to know that my friend who is an expert on children’s pysch watched the show w/me last night. She’s never seen it, and I lifted my ban for her educational purposes. Ummmm …. yeah, she agrees w/me, on everything … she was horrified …
tvsnark you should really venture into the real world, if you don’t think that for one minute that Kevin and Jodi are doing this because they are concerned about the children and the marriage and not because in some way or the other are just lashing out. Then you are DUMB. If it were such a major concern before how come nobody cared until Jon started cheating and the couple became distant? All I’m saying is everybody wants to come out of the wordworks full of piss and vinegar and say how wrong all of this is, when in fact people should have had such loud opinions way before it got to this.
Thanks for posting this. I stopped watching the show before all the crap hit the fan about their sham marriage. I got sick of Kate’s relentless nagging and bratty maddy’s crying temper tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. that child is a mirror image of her mother. Now I definitely have no desire to watch it again. What a farce!!!
Hi TGFTG. I’m a long-time reader (and new poster) to your blog… Love it!
Thanks for posting all of the info and stories about Jon and Kate; this show needs to end SOON.
On a related note, I came across this video of J+K on Dr. Phil from a few years back… my god, they seemed like totally different people back then.. It had been sooo long since I had seen the old Kate.
Kay – Hi, thanks for finally commenting. I’m trying to not comment about “them” anymore in the hopes that people realize how badly this show needs to end. But, since you’ve spoken up, let me say this: I read an article in Star Magazine about Mady having such a bad breakdown about Jon leaving the house that TLC isn’t even going to air it. Screaming how she wants to live with him and not Kate, and that Aunti Jodi wants to have an intervention. I can’t get away from this show. EVERYONE is talking about it. Sigh. Those poor kids …
Gs FTG – That’s the bottom line here…the kids and its finally being addressed. I’m so sick of all the other crap and don’t blame you for not commenting because I can no longer either.
Kay – WOW I can’t believe the difference a few years make!!!
Dr. Michael Brody of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry was interviewed to discuss his opinions on the mental ramifications the Gosselin children will suffer because of their involvement with the reality show.
He insists that the constant presence of video cameras is damaging to the children’s early development. He suggests they grow up never feeling they can be “genuine”, since a camera will always be there to catch their actions as well as creating attention seekers:
“After a while these kids become knowledgeable, but it’s not genuine. I think that this is where the problem lies. It’s not genuine and you’re fostering this craving for attention, which can create trouble later on.”
The biggest problem Dr. Brody foresees is the resentment the kids will feel when they’ve grow and watch their childhood was played out on television for money. It is this idea of exploitation that motivated Kate’s younger brother, Kevin Kreider , to bring the subject up to Kate and Jon. He told CBS’ Early Show that the couple told him: “‘This is how we’re going to provide for them.’”
Again, Dr. Brody insists this is wrong: “It is not normal for five and eight year olds to support their family…This family, like other families on reality TV, is working to support the brand and so forth. Aren’t there all kinds of products and stuff that these people support? It’s wrong. It’s a commercialization of children.”
Finally, he slams Jon and Kate for not seeing the big picture and realizing that they have pushed their kids into a life they never had the chance to decline”
“These kids don’t have any say in this. They are helpless. They have to do what their parents say.”
Xtina – This is what i’ve been saying for so long, just not as fancy. See people? What the Gosselin’s are doing is Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Finally, professionals are speaking out. I bet they are all just “jelus” haters who want to “bring down the Gosselins.”
Can we all just admit that until you actually walk in someone’s shoes you CAN NOT judge them. Everyone needs to quit acting like they know what exactly goes on in the Gosselin’s lives. We only see what the media chooses to show us.
Leave them alone and let them live their lives.
Think about the children and what all of this media “CRAP” is doing to them.
With the divorce rate in this country what it is now I don’t think any of us can judge Kate and Jon.
My hope is that they can drop their pride , open up with eachother, communicate and forgive eachother and continue or pick back up as a family as it shoud be.
I don’t need to wear Kate’s $500 shoes to know that she treats her kids like little commodities. They will be left alone when they get off our TV.
This CRAP being done to the children is being done BY THEIR PARENTS, not us.
When they put us in their living rooms and get paid millions for it….they gave me the right to judge them.
So what they got free stuff! Uh Duh that is the norm for reality T.V. stars. Companies want their products featured on popular shows. So 10 times out of 10 the product will be given to the family as long as everyone knows where it came from. And shame on her brother and sister in law. If you really honestly wanted to see someone through a trying time, why would you put them on “blast” like that. They seem a little jealous. Not only that but WHY on earth would they say such things that they know the children are going to find out about. And further more, so what if she is controlling. Considering what she deals with on a day to day basis I’m surprised she doesn’t drink. All I know is @ first I hated on her as well, but you cannot deny facts and pictures don’t lie. Jon cheated on Kate emotionally and physically,and what about the kids. I feel for her as a mother and a wife. Go to the US website and look @ pictures of Jon and his “homewrecker” in the front yard of where his children/wife call home and tell me as a woman that what he did was in any way acceptable. And if people all across the board who are like you and me did not watch “reality” T.V. they would not bother putting it on. We as viewers eat it up, so we are part of the problem. You don’t like what’s going on with the kids then don’t watch. Go spend time with your kids and make sure that they are happy.
It does not matter if you stop watching the show. Hello we still cannot keep them off of our minds and out of our mouths. I found this link from looking up Kate. We are all feeding into it. Out of site Out of mind people. If this woman bothers everyone so much, then don’t give her the satisfaction of even speaking/writing her name. Everyone here including me is doing nothing but giving more publicity. Good or Bad apparently she is a hot topic.
tgftg what barrio do you come from?
I THINK THAT BOTH OF THEM STARTED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR COMPANIONSHIP….THAT’S WHY THIS AGREEMENT WAS WRITTEN UP TO BEGIN WITH…I READ WHERE IT SAID 25,000 AN EPISODE…WOW , I THOUGT THEY WOULD BE GETTING MORE THAN THAT..THE BOTH OF THEM ARE JERKS…AND I AM SICK TO DEATH WITH THESE TO CLOWNS AND I WISH THE MSM WOULD GO LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR A STORY…PLEASE..
I want to know why Jon ever married her. There’s no way in hell you can tell me.She suddenly turned into this ragging bitch. And the guy never had a prior clue. He’s was a dumbass doormat all these years.And personally I think he was content to be drug around by his nose. That is until the fame kicked in and he realized he’d be just fine without her tempermental ass. I think she’s a useless example of a human. Has no thought or consideration for anyone (BUT) herself. Doing it for her kids my ass.She’s doing it for her checkbook.ANd the kids have no choice as children (BUT) to go along. He may have gotten himself enough of a spine to get out from under her control.But now he needs to grow a set and rescue his kids from this bullshit. But no he’s not going to either.THey both enjoy life in the “FAB” lane.And dropping cash their kids earned like litter on the road side.I say TLC needs to cancel the show.Give the children their lives back.Sell Jon and Kate that big house she just had to have. Let them walk away with nothing more than a mortgage like the rest of the world.Watch how fast her snarky ass dances to a different tune.Him as well.
I’m so sick of hearing OUR ONLY PRIORITY IS OUR KIDS. Bullshit. Never was,Never will be. THe kids didn’t need teeth whitenning,hair plugs,ski trips,to be forced to shoot in the dead of summer in sweaters the cover for a fall magazine.Or any of the other things they been put thru.What they need is to know that they are perfect just as they are. That money isn’t how you measure value. That family comes before all else.That nothing is life is worth having if you’ve got to sell your soul to get it.Or step on your family’s heart . That no matter what they have one another. And simplicity is absolutely fine. They need to know they are loved for themselves.Not their earning potential.
CANCEL THE SHOW.REUNITE THE KIDS WITH THEIR FAMILY.ALLOW THEM TO GROW WITH A CAMERA AND BOOM IN THEIR FACES.MOM COOK FOR A CHANGE.DAD GO OUT TO WORK LIKE THE REST OF THE FATHER’S IN AMERICA. GIVE THEM A LIFE.
Some of the people you think are Kate or her minions would have to be her minions. Kate isn’t intelligent enough to think some of them up (even though they ARE lame). As a grandma of 5, I hope this show is now going to be over. The kids have FAR outgrown ‘cute’, Jon smartly wants out and Kate, well, Kate has (nor ever had) anything to offer. I have taken all 3 of my kids and helped take several of my grandkids to doctor/dentist/barber so WHY is it entertaining to watch Kate take her tribe and watch 1 or more have a tantrum? And at 5 1/2 aren’t the tups too old for biting, hitting, kicking, whining, crying, screaming without being corrected for it?
Forgot the most important thing, I love your site, GFTG. You are the best breath of fresh air in the crap storm called the Gosselin’s life. Keep ON!!!
Barbee – Thank you! I wonder how much longer this show will be on the air?
TGFTG, glad to run into your blog and see that I’m not the only one, who is both let down, and fed up with Kate & Jon. I can remember a time when Jon and Kate loaded up the kids and took them to church as a family. My, My, how quickly money can change things. In no time flat, things began to change. First off, They say they are doing it for the kids. But how many times have we seen the kids crying during the taping of thr show ? I have never seen a happy person cry while they are working, Have you ? People just dont cry at work. If they do, their fired or sent home. Right? I recall watching the shooting for the cover of fall magazine. The kids we’re tired,restless, cranky, crying, uncooperative, and DID NOT want to do it. One of the twins was doing her normal twisting,whining, backtalking, and being her usual self. Did Jon and Kate end it? Absolutly not. They we’re wearing winter clothes in august. Wonder why they would be whining ? GO FIGURE ! Instead, the camera crews done everything humanly possible to get that perfect shot of 8 kids who did not wish to be working. I dont believe for a second that if any of the 8 kids said,” I’m through, I dont want to stand here for these pictures, or I don’t want to work today”, that it would of made any difference. They don”t have a choice, regardless of what Kate says. They proved it that day.
We watched Kate go from looking like an everyday mom, to someone who at times looks like she’s competing for girls gone wild. We watched her refuse to put her pant’s on, to ride on the back of a motorcycle.Even after she was told to. It had to be shorts and highhills, as she tryed hard to steal the whole show from Jon. We watched as the rancher, had to tell Kate, that the clothing and highhills she was wearing was not appropriate and she would have to change. Thru time, her blouses got lower, her pushup bra’s got higher, her walking shorts became short shorts with highhills, and she had to steal a show from her kid’s by strutting her bikkini at the beach and have the cameras all on her and her poses, as she had to make sure she stood or walked just perfect to keep the LARGE scar’s from being seen. We’ve watched her work on her facial expressions to try to make herself look like an innocent victim. But she has forgot, “we have been watching her for too long”, for her to fool anyone now. This whole thing has became more than just making money for Kate. Kate is wraped up in her looks, and the attention she is getting. I feel Kate would be more than happy to have the show all to herself. Kate,” JUST WANTS TO BE SEEN”. Period! Anyone else in the family is stealing her spotlight. The only reason Kate wanted her kids on the show, is because she had to use them, to get her own attention.I think if they took every penny away from Kate, but told her she could work for free, and still be on tv, she would do it.
It was heartbreaking when Kate told Dr.Phil that the twin told her,” that she missed her”, and she was there all day”. That was before Kate got wrapped all up in her traveling, or her and Jon split up. How much Harder can it be on the kids now ?
I want to scream at everyone and tell them to turn the tv off when she comes on. She needs to be shut down.
I have been changing my channel.
If I could, I would ask Kate these
question’s :
1) Does she still have the same relationship with her Mom & Dad like she use to year’s ago ?
2) Does she still have the same relationship with her brother, as she did before she became famous ?
3) Does she still have the same friends she use to ?
4) What happen to the man that use to be the love of her life/ father of her children ?
5) Have you allowed fame to place other women in your children’s lives, that they may one day decide they want to call her mommy ?
6) when you ask god for more babies, Did you tell him, that one day “they” we’re going to pay a high price for your fame ?
7) Have you watched Naudia S, or the Heeney family, and considered them to be child abuser’s ? WHY ? Do you see yourself in them ?
8) Do you really consider a camera and the TLC crew, your true friends ?
9) The bottom line : no one has ever seen a u-haul back up to a cemetary, to send someones belongings with them when they go. Anotherwords, Kate, you can’t take it with you when you leave this world. So….. what legacy will you leave behind for you kids?
Will it be a mother that took her kids from their grandparents, Aunt’s Uncles,cousins, father, and is remembered as the mother who hit the road one day, still looking to keep her fame and fortune ?
Or will you stand before god and try to make him believe you done it all for the kid’s ? REALLY KATE, CAN YOU ?
The truth is kate, your kids had rather live in a little tiny house, with a little picket fence,and still have mom and dad at home around the supper table, tucking them into bed at night with a bed time story, “possibly one you wrote about them”,still going to church on sunday as a family,while they eat their dry cereal enroute.
Remember those day’s Kate ? We do !
People didn’t start watching the show to see how pretty you think you’ve become. It was your whole family, we tuned into see. But everything had to be about you, you, you. If you didn’t have the spotlight, you we’re gona make sure you intimidated your own spouse. “Pretty is, as pretty does,Kate”.
And you could NOT put on enough makeup to cover how ugly you have became on the inside. You are a BULLY ! And you are selfesh.
You need to go over some of the questions I ask you. If you don’t have family, true friend’s , or a husband left since you started this journey, maybe you should re evaluate what TRUE richness really is.
Remember,… we are NOT pulling for you, your audience is now pulling for you kid’s. Since “you are”the mother, it would be nice if you chose to quit exploiting them for you own fame and fortune, calm down, and sit down.

Jody – I have been waiting for a Kate supporter who gave me crap for months to come back here and admit they were wrong or mislead. But like a cockroach, none of them have surfaced since the light was thrown on to these two fools publically. I can certainly appreciate your frustrations and enjoyed your questions to Kate.
