When will it end? When I heard that Jon essentially got fired from his family, I thought, “Thank God. I can finally stop writing about him. He’s now nothing more than a former sperm donor cast member.” Sadly, I was wrong. The newly renamed Kate Plus 8 — though I think Matthew Gilbert over at boston.com had the best idea to rename the show K’eight — has run aground all thanks to Jon.
Remember how he decided to stall his divorce so that he could work on building a better relationship with Kate for the sake of their kids? Well, his idea of rebuilding burned bridges involved having his lawyer file papers to cease production on the show.
“Effective immediately, no production crews are to enter Jon’s family home for any reason,” a letter from his attorney says, according to The Insider. “In the event that anyone enters the marital property, Jon Gosselin will notify the local authorities to effectuate police action against any trespassers.”
Jon Gosselin owns the property jointly with his wife. The letter is dated the same day as the TLC announcement that the reality show about the couple and their eight kids would be renamed Kate Plus 8starting next season.
“Its pretty clear what’s going on: Now that Jon isn’t going to be on the show, he wants the show to end. All these years he’s maintained that the kids aren’t harmed by the show, but the minute he’s removed from the show, suddenly its bad for his family,” a production source tells PEOPLE.
Isn’t it funny how quickly Jon Gosselin has chosen to bit the hand that feeds him — and boy has it fed him — now that he’s no longer a digit on that hand? Last week the show wasn’t hurting his kids. This week it’s detrimental to their very development.
This amount of douche cannot be contained in a bag. He is a douchecementmixer.
i like that!
that is the best one yet!
When do you think Aunt Jodi is going to come out of the woodwork and comment on this? Oh wait! She already kind of did on her website!
Do you think Jon and her will go on Good Morning America together anytime soon?
I could care less about either Khate or Yawn. I’m just glad the filming has stopped … those kids had no choice in that or pay by the sounds of it.
well, kate alleges that she constantly asks them if they’re ok with being on the show. and i’m pretty sure the kids get paid for being on it. if you ask me, those little kids have it made. they’re never shown in a bad light, and even if they’re crying or something it’s excusable because they’re kids. they’re getting paid for no work at all and they probably like the crew by now since they grew up around them. i think it’s really good for the family. well, yeah, i’m sure they are starting to dislike the excessive media coverage. but, in general, it’s a pretty good deal for them.
you mean just plus kate equals h8. HAHA….yeah
oops jon* plus kate
oops, jon* plus kate
God, what an ass. I really can’t stand him, but I don’t have any love for Kate, either.
Obviously, concern for the kids has never been at the forefront of these parents’ minds – except that she realized that shey’d made a poor reproductive decision and had more kids than they could afford.
Then Kate decided that it was “society’s fault” (meaning us) that this high-tech reproductive option that she insisted on having meant that all of us owed her freebies for an indefinite period of time – 21 years is probably the minimum that she has in mind.
She alienated her parents, siblings, in-laws, and church congregations and then told her husband that the marriage was over. She figured out that she could make money without the annoyance of having to compromise for the marriage. No doubt it was her love of God that gave her the strength to reject everyone who knew her before she was famous. Talk about being spoiled by success.
But she forgot one little thing – that her newly rejected (and yes, very adolescent husband) is also the children’s legal guardian and the coowner of their property.
Is he behaving vengefully? Yes. is he within his rights to do so? Probably. If she had been kinder to him, this never would have happened. So now the gloves are off and she will have to prove that he is an unfit parent and a danger to the children. I wonder how long those fireworks will last.
Aunt Jodi, is that you?
That was completely unreal. If you think that he wouldn’t cheat just if she was nice to him, you have no idea of the reality of cheating men. Men cheat because they find their life boring, or their children too hard to take care of, or their wife too steady or stale. Men cheat because they need to step outside their life and be “free” rather than stay and be happy with what they have. Can you take care of eight children any better than Kate? I think not. If you watch any other show about multiples mothers, they are all organized up the whazoo. They have to be with the number of babies brought home and have to be taken care of. Jon was not there in the beginning full time, he was actually working. When Kate was home with the volunteers and the babies, she had to be organized to keep everything on schedule and to keep her from going insane. Jon was not involved in the parenting process or how difficult it was to take care of the twins plus the six for the majority of the week until he CHOSE to quit his job and stay home with Kate. He CHOSE to cheat and say all the nasty stuff that he did. Yes, Kate also said some things that were less than nice, but she did not blast him in various lights or get caught in compromising situations that were proven true. To say that if she was nicer to him then he would not have behaved the way he did or say the things that he said is giving all cheaters excuses. That is all it is, a weak excuse for a weak boy.
well said, think straight.
I wonder if they can continue filming when Kate is on the property for her custody time? Didn’t Jon boot her off the property when he had control?
She should be able to do the same thing to Jon (i.e. allow whoever she wanted on the property when it was her time to be there) and there’s nothing idiot boy could do about it.
I wonder if she will screw the help like he did. lol
I think she can have who ever whenever.
In case he thinks he can remove the camera’s, he need to watch last season big brother, he will be billed for it.
He is a what was it?
douchecementmixer!
Of course, he is trying to hit her where it hurts- in Kate’s case the show that is her cash cow. What else could he do, try for sole custody which I am sure he wouldn’t want since it would impede on his shopping, chick banging, and ATV riding?
These two were made for each other. Both are childish and seem to care only about themselves and thier stupid, boring lives. Face it- they don’t work and they rely on pimping out the kids to support thier psuedo-celeb lifestyles. Why don’t they go back to working real jobs to support all those kids like the rest of us have to. Do they really want thier kids to have to see or hear about this now or even ten or twenty years from now? And also- dont have 8 kids (or 1 kids for that matter) if you can’t pay for them.
The show is Jon’s cash cow too. Why do you think he’s trying to stop them from filming now? He’s pissed that he got fired from the show.
I just saw a picture of a sign posted on the gate at their property (www.wwtdd.com)… it’s got typos! Things like that just really show the level of intelligence we’re dealing with here.
I work in marketing and PR and even if you are saying something stupid or even immoral, you can maintain a certain amount of credibility by how you say it. The typos basically just confirm his maturity level. It’s very difficult to back up your high and mighty attitude and threaten someone with a “penelty’ followed by your own name misspelled…
Wonder if he can spell dumbass?
Sad but true. Those high-paid lawyers and PR folks had better nip in there and manage this guy better because he’s really undermining his own cause, and typos on public signs are the least of it.
And probably Kate’s work-around will just be to take the kids off of the property to produce the show. More free vacations which are “in the kid’s best interests”. Missing school to produce a TV show and having your parent’s conduct themselves with so little genuine concern for each other, their families and their children is probably in their best interests too.
I hope someone gets on the ball and starts creating legislature to protect the minor children of families from predatory “reality” TV shows and from the family’s own greed if need be (see Khloe Kardashian’s fake marriage for example).
There are just no better principles in evidence from these TV producers, unless you count the popularizing of the dilemmas of little people through various shows. But they all tend to devolve into “watch us go on our reality-TV paid vacations”. Ultimately boring.
Screw Kate. How all the sudden did she become mother of the year? YES Jon is in major crisis mode right now, but who would’nt be? The biggest mistake hes made is putting on those damn Ed Hardy t-shirts and getting laid by some scank. Sounds pretty tame to me. I can’t imagine what it must have been like living with that nasty women. Nobody in her family, his family, friends, anybody seems to like her. People behind the scenes say shes a monster. Her sense of entitlement sickens me. Even when shes well coached by her media savy team she seems like lying cold bitch. Jon needs his to surround himself with some good P.R. people and public perception will turn around. Not to mention a stylist. Maybe he could hire Kates. Shes looking better than ever. Jon stayed with the kids while she was gone buiding up the “All for the sake of my kids” empire. She was gone three weeks out of the month sometimes. I know somebody has to support them, but to act like he did not have any part in it is crazy. Women get credit raising the fam while hubbys away making money, whats the difference? How people turned on him. All he did was what everybody wanted, Demanding back his balls from Ms Kate. Does any one remember how dreadful she was before she got so media savy? I thing hes an immature guy but a good guy. I think a pure hearted parent is better than a manipulative witch like her. Who is she to eradicate him totally from everything? It reminds me of Mommy Dearest-“If she does’nt like you, she’ll make you go away” haha
Daisy Mae you, said everthing I wanted to say and said it so well. I also think he’s basically the better parent and getting a raw deal. She is a shrew and a phony!
The Evil One feels bad for the kids who are the one’s getting jacked around in all this foolishness. There’s plenty of blame to go around and lots of finger pointing yet to come but it still comes down on the shoulders of the 2 tools who are supposed to be the adults and are acting anything but! Overlord wishes these two trolls would go away now and a pox on bad hairdo’s and the E. Hardy fashion sense.
I just don’t understand how he can get away with this.. If you have a signed contract, and you fucked up to the point that you practically got fired, how can he just change the rules now and get away with it?
And i’d be very very very surprised if the house was ONLY on his name.. Kate couldn’t be that stupid, i don’t think..
The article said that they were joint owners. Things have changed since they entered into the contract. Obviously, the kids have been exposed to some ugly things and I’m sure that they are well aware of the fact that things are not going well. I can see why being on a show at this time would be a bad idea.
1. Who cares?
2. Thank goodness John got away from K-hate. She is incredibly insufferable. A real bitch.
3. They obviously don’t think raising kids to think they are celebrities by pimping them out on a TV show is going to come back and bite them in the buttocks.
4. May they subside back into the slime from which they slithered.
Ohhhh poor Jon. To bad for him, he messed up and can’t handle that life still can go on without him. Kate is being an independant woman and he just can’t handle that. But it was ok for him to be selfish and go out and get his cake and eat it too and then expect his wife to bend over for him and take it up the ^%## and say thats ok Jon I understand and I forgive you. He knew what he was getting into when he signed up for the show “FOR HIS KIDS”. No matter if you are on Reality TV or just regular TV you are still considered a celebrity and u are not going to be able to run away from the tabloids. They will do their best to make a story out of anything whether it hurts your life or not. So Guess what buddy get over it! I’m a child of divorced parents and you know what your fighting, yelling, constant comments about eachother only makes things worse and it hurts inside. You don’t know because you can’t see it right now but it already shows in your kids the way they fight with eachother, pull temper tantrums, yell at each other, they are little versions of the two of you so you have created it all yourself. If you would just stop being “SELFISH” and look at the bigger picture, you decided that you wanted all those kids so now you have to deal with it. Take it and realize that they are God sent and if you would just step outside yourself and look in you will realize the only people you are hurting right now are those kids. You ARE NOT doing what is best for them but just looking out for #1 – YOURSELF. Step back and recognize you are the problem and you need to get self help and you and Kate should still be going to a counseller just so you can both learn how to be at least cordial to one another without hurting the kids. You are only teaching them that this is the way people live and they will grow up resenting you and then looking for men or women who will do nothing but hurt them and disrespect them. They will never learn the true meaning of love. I see Kate at least trying to show those kids love and affection. I haven’t seen anything of that sort coming from you, other than “oh poor me”! and buying them meaningless gifts! That’s not what they want, they need a father figure and I feel sorry for those boys having a father figure like yourself at this point in time is not good for them.
You are only HURTING YOUR KIDS! You guys need to get Super Nanny or Nanny 911 to give you guys a kick in the butt before it is to late.
If you do anything right now it should be for your KIDS not YOURSELF!! Stop being so SELFISH and do what is right or else you will pay for it in the end. Those kids will only grow up learning how to hate you and looking for the love they need in all the wrong places my friend!
The only morally superior position here is that of the sextuplets. TLC, John, Kate, and I think even the twins all seem to profit off other peoples’ misery. So good on John for using his legal rights to leverage out more dough. At that level it’s no different than what he and Kate have been doing for some time now.
He looks kinda hot in that picture.
Good for you John you did the right thing. And all you haters out there need to stop hating, its his kids too.
Wow, I really don’t know what to think. But I can say this, I am going through a divorce and my husband took all my fishing stuff and gave it away. He knew it meant a lot to me and that is why he did it. He is hurt for what ever reason. Someone who is hurt and unable to process those feelings like an adult will do it in the way they know. I told my attorney to forget about the fishing stuff and get on with the divorce. Not my intention to hurt the man, I just need to get away from him. We had no kids. With kids involved it has got to be very hard indeed. I just pray that all involved will come out of it ok. No side of a broken relationship is untouched by blame, gilt, or hurt feelings. All we can do is protect the kids and not make it harder than it has to be.
Thank you for this opportunity to say what I think about this. It has been a real treat.
Jon finally had a “Popeye” moment, you know, “that’s all I can stands cus I can’t stands no more”. After years of living with an unabashed control freak he finally put his “sack” back on and stood up for himself. He finally came to the conclusion that she did not love him, she loved the fame, the fortune, the tummy tuck, the boob job, the facial work, everything that comes with being a celeb. Only one problem, you married this sociopath and had eight kids! I know people can change after years of marriage, you know, from sexy playful young wife to duty driven butt in the front (remember that episode), no time for play middle aged wife. But you still are married and owe it to the kids to be respectful of each other and raise them as a team. They did a survey a couple of years ago about the biggest complaints married men have about their wives. Guess what was numero uno on the list, right, they wish they had sex more often. I really believe that is at the core of this whole disaster. If Kate “butt in the front” Gosselin would have only paid more attention to her hubby, he would not have sought companionship from easy sleazie college girls. When a man doesn’t get laid enough it eventually comes to a point where he needs release. Apparently Jon has reached that point. He is also finding out that he too has some celebrity appeal, with hot 20 somethings that don’t require his commitment or his spine in order to spread their legs.
I hate both of them, feel sorry for the kids, and will not ever watch anything with either of them in it! That said–as dumb as this douchecementmixer (LOL) is, he did a good thing stopping this farce from airing. Thanks dude.
