The Gosselin brood
You may or may not have heard about the drama going on between Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's Jon and Kate plus 8. Supposedly Jon was photographed with a mystery woman a few weeks ago that started speculation that things were not peachy keen in the Gosselin household. Jon issued a statement saying the woman he was photographed with was just a friend and that he realizes he needs to be more careful since they're in the spotlight. It was a nice cover, but the word is that Jon and Kate are headed for splitsville.
A family member said Jon and Kate have a secret contract that allows Jon to date as long as they pretend to be happily married for the show because that's their moneymaker.
Apparently, Kate is no fun. US Weekly ran a story calling her a monster and reported that Kate's attitude was so bad she went through 40 nannies in 3 months. I can't say I don't believe it. If you've ever watched the show, Kate is mean as hell sometimes and she treats Jon like an idiot. I mean I understand that he may be acting like an idiot, but she doesn't have to point it out every time.
It's getting harder and harder to keep up the charade, so what will become of Jon & Kate Plus 8? Maybe we can watch a show that doesn't show the parents and that just shows those adorable kiddies.

You mean watch the exploited children? Children are not supposed to support the parents. Parents are supposed to support the children.
There are no laws in PA to make Jon & Kate save even one dime of this money for their children. Let them get their own jobs. The children have worked long enough.
Jon said he needs PRIVACY, but so do the KIDS. TLC is greedy and needs to stop exploiting the kids. They should show proof that money is being put aside for the kids' education, but since there's no law for reality shows in PA, that probably hasn't happened.
How is it that the children are working? What? Living as kids and being recorded? I am sure the parents are saving money for the children. These people aren't apathetic selfish monsters. They have 8 beautiful children and as parents they love them. This I am sure. It is no likely unless they are sociopathic that they would neglect their children. I don't think that the two of them are as bad as the media makes them out to be-afterall, like Britney Spears, they profit from scandolous cove
they profit from scandolous coverage. Did anyone think that the negative media perpetuated may be a ratings grab? Maybe it is and maybe it is not.
There is no need to pity this family. Each and every marriage suffers through ups and downs and sometimes infedelity. It's all about the perogative of the adults in the relationship to decide whether they wish to work on a marriage or not.
For all the individuals who see the Gosselin parents as apathetic, selfish and awful money grabbing people, you should be ashamed. They are doing what any family with EIGHT young kids would do-and that is to make the most amount of money for as long
as they can which will sustain them long after the sensationalism is gone. THeir marriage may end, but they may both take comfort in knowing that their children will be clothed, fed and have college money.
I think they should take time away from the show and focus on the real family issues. This is a horrible situation and the publiciity is making it worse. They need to have family (alone) time.
There is a great column in today's edition of The Detroit news by a woman named Alyssa Martina. She is a Parent Coach who sponsored a lecture series that brough Kate to Detroit to speak on May 14. The article critiques the main points of Kate's lecture. It appears to be a very unbiased and fair review and does state that Kate did provide some helpful insight into parenting. However, Ms. Martina also had some crtical remarks for Kate. For example, she thought that her encouraging parents t
I just posted a comment about an article in today's Detroit News. For some reason the main part of it did not post. I'll paraphrase the missing part. The columinst crticized Kate for being self-serving when telling the audience that they should be generous so that others will be generous to them. She gave an example of giving a check to a needy family and then someone sending her a check in the same amount. So much for giving for the sake of giving - typical Kate. Then she said that Kate l
God or Mother Nature were right in making sure that Crazy Kate could not have children. She is an unfit parents and but for modern medicine, they would be where they deserve to be. Without children. Kate is not a victim even if she pretends to be. She does not like the abuse directed towards her by decent people and the Tabloids, but has no problem attacking and verbally abusing her husband in full view of her 8 children. This is not how you show love for a husband or your children. Kate should
I think the divorce would actually be a good thing here. The reason I think so, is the show will most likely be canceled after this season. The parents will acutally have to start being parents again. The family courts will make the parents take some parenting classes. And the courts can appoint an attorney to make sure the kids are being taken care of. Stop watching the show so that we can help these kids get their real parents back.
just think who was the only one with there pictue taken with antother person. maybe that is the person to blame. kate has not had any pics come out on her. think about it people, families with two kids can not even make a marriage work so who is to judge them when they have eight kids,maybe it is better for the kids in the long wrong. oh and by the way if you want to go out with other girls get a divorce first, do not be a coward and sneek around and get caught and say i made a bad decision. fo
I have loved watching the show, but I cringe through many of the episodes at the way Kate treats Jon. Talk about emasculating a man! I would never promote infidelity, but the way to keep a man is not to continually criticize him. If they are in this together, they should support each other--not cheat and not constantly criticize!
i think they did break up he shouldn't cheated on her
I have been married for 10 years with 3 children and i cant even imagine disrespecting my husband privately worse nation wide.. i dont approve in cheating but i do belive Kate drove him to it..this man lost his selfrespect in front of cameras..he might not be a perfect father or husband but who is? no one is ready for children its hard enough to raise your children imagine raising your children in front of cameras? kate give it up, take care of your family and cancel the show is not worth loosin
I don't have an ounce of sympathy for Jon. There obviously was dysfunction in their marriage, but that is no excuse for cheating. He is an adult and responsible for his own actions...just as Kate is responsible for her actions. They both need help. Unfortunately the kids will suffer either way...Divorce is not always the answer. The parents need to grow up.
its true that Kate is mean somtimes but she has a right to when she needs to. O.K mabey Jon can be an idiot somtimes but there are times when you need to be appropreate. But Jon should hav never cheated on Kate like that and yes Kate can be vary stricked but thats no reason to cheat on her. Face it...YOU NEED TO LOVE EACH OTHER. Also i love your show and now it wont be the same..... =(
Also you need to think about your beautiful children. Do you think that your kids want you to not be together anymore? Every single time when Jon gets home from work the kids say DADDY!!! do you think that Jon doesnt want to her that anymore? Jon shouldnt have cheated on Kate but think its for your children.. I want the best for you!! <3
they need to tkae the show off of the air. If John and Kate are having problems then they should come up on the show. I do believe that at the beginning of the show that it says "this is our everyday life".
Well it is all lies! Who wants to watch a load of bull crap?
OMG what is going to happen to the kids? Grrrrr
i no that john cheeted but what willl hapen???
listen up jon! you are not maing the right choice! Look at your kid's faces and think about what will happen to them! That was incredibly stupid and irrisponsible to cheat on Kate! you're out there right now disapointing millions fans, including me ={
hEY jon and Kate, I really think this whole situation is going to hurt your beautiful kids. And i hope you continue on with the show, I really enjoyed watchiung your childern grow up.
jon and kate do not split up your kids need you and so does america!
I don't think that you should get a divorce. You would tarerise you beautiful children. They all love you and it would be so hard for them to see mommy and daddy fighting. Even though you get inoyed with your kids and each other sometimes you really shouldn't let that ruin your relationship. Kate, you should treat Jon better. But jon, just because you were being tereated poorly doesn't mean you should find another woman. And just because Jon cheated on you doesnt mean you should do the same. you
Maybekateought o appreciate jon a little more. Every chance she gets she is belittling him. She is a very nonsocial type of person, who does not need to be having her own tv reality show.
i think the mediA needs to back off and let jon and kate deal with this by them selves with out cameras and reporters constantly in their face. no one can sit there and say that it was an affair or just a friend so people need to stop making conclusions because it is not their family and not their place to assume.
Kate is mean as hell!!! why does she always treats Jon so bad. She is never apprecite what John does, she alway mock him. Even if they fake there happenist, but she never fake being a bi**h! I Don't really watch the show, but my man love the show, so when he home i have to watch it. i just want to slap she, because she the biggest idiot.
First of all Jon and Kate I love your show and all of your children are each and every one of your children are beautiful~just in case you happen to read this...ya right...I don't think it is fair for everyone to be accusing Jon of cheating when there is no solid proof, yes things look fishy the staying out all night with some girl and then haviing the same girl sunbathing in your yard but it could be innocent she really could be just a friend. In my opinion I don't think Kate or the rest of us
I have watched the show, and said to myself, wow, Kate sure can be a witch. I have to say though, it is not like John didn't know how she was when after he had the first two kids with her (the twins). I think the two of them getting a divorce should be completely out of the question. They need to work out thier differences and get a shrink. Im sorry, when you have 8 kids, bailing out shouldn't even be an option. Kate just needs to get her attitude in check and figure out that she made her b
Re: Kate - nothing like an irritable fat cow to ruin your day. These mushy women who think they can get away with being b i t c h y just crack me up. W T F do you think us guys are gonna do? That's right: go out and find a sweet young thing who actually *enjoys* hanging out with us.
Wake up ladies and realize you need to *compete*.
Jon & Kate need counseling, without a doubt! The way they, very often, treat each other is not easy to watch. Especially Kate’s incessant perfectionism and her criticism of Jon. She desperately needs help in these two areas. It appears that Kate is an obsessive compulsive perfectionist which would be ‘beyond easy’ to live with. Kate is so often, if not always, very tired to which being so ‘driven’ certainly is one contributing factor.
The children and parents display a lot of emotions that see
I believe many people in our present society have no real insight, knowledge, understanding and wisdom; basically let's just say not enough depth to embody such things. Enough to even know what makes or breaks a marriage, family life, and future. The relationship and interaction between Jon and Kate is just a blessing to even experience or be able to be that way with each other, which of course benefits the children most of all. Their daily lives or overall situations consists of everthing from
CONTINUATION: A to Z, something we will never have in a lifetime. I can say from experience, their system works for them. That's what you all need to leave alone, many cant leave it alone though. It works for them but the media and people who feed the perception of Kate being a controlling awful person and Jon being such a victim to it all, and their children being miserable wrecks; I will tell all of you that their system is what makes their lives work but what all of you are contributing, is w
2ND CONTINUATION, LOOK FOR NAME DALE AND WORK YOUR WAY UP TO READ POST IN ENTIRETY:
I will tell all of you that their system is what makes their lives work but what all of you are contributing, is what breaks it.
If these two do get a divorce, I think they should change the name of the show Kate's Pride...not only for the number of children, but for the fact she'll never admit she's been wrong or say she's sorry. I can't watch anymore; what they're doing to their kids is disgusting and I refused to get sucked into these lives that should definately have become more private, long ago.
I don't think Jon cheated, I think he wanted to get away and got caught...but I stopped watching the show because I couldn't handle Kate any longer. Her attitude is so negative all the time, she went from being a beautiful woman with a great family to being a rich, stuck-up spoiled brat...where do you think Madelyn gets it from???
Hey there, all families have troubles, you brought these 8 children into the world with a mother and father. Stop being selfish and go for help. It takes two to work on a marriage. Sometimes I wondered why Jon stayed faithful so long with Kate always treating him like the 9th child.
Kate is a disrespectful and mean wife....not only is she snide and sarcastic to Jon..but anyone who she can belittle to make herself look smart. She better take a hard look at herself and just see what her family has put up with in the past five years....Kate - it is not all about you!
And what I can't believe is that she is a nurse - she has no compassion at all for people unless they are serving her.
Count your blessings Kate...because one day you might wish you had!
I think they should not get into a divorce.. They need to over come it and be an example for America. Nobodys perfect. People make mistakes.. Every family has problems and who are you to judge them when you only see what he tv shows?and what the media says. Kate can sometimes be a witch but there are two sides to every story and if you had 8 kids , you would probably be stressed too. We all let out steam sometime. Your not human if you don't.
Why is everyone all over Kate? Jon is the one that cheated, so what she is a little controlling and rude she didnt start all this drama Jon did. Kate just needs to leave him and find a man with a job so she can take care of her kids and stop doing the show.
jon run don't look back get away from the evil one called kate. get to a safe house and hide!!!
just rememeber what happen to the 5 girls from canada!!!!!!!!!!!! they all had mental health issue and so on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Jon should divorce Kate. She ridicules him all the time.She is rude person. Acts like she is the perfect mother------NEVER. She needs to keep her BIG MOUTH shut.
i think that if they have the contract then just say you do and leave it alone. alot of people have open marriages and it works for them. i have noticed that lately they don't push the christen angle much anymore so maybe they found something that works better for them. I personally don't watch the show for them anyway i just love seeing those 8 cute little faces every week. my son is 4 and the loves watching the show i just hope that they keep their kids out of it as much as possible.
she doesnt want the media attentionto stop. Thelast show ofthe season they we going to decide if doing the show was best for them. Kate said she enjoys it and Jon will have to learn to deal with it or "get overit" Sounds like she made her decision right there.....
i luv the kids......they r all sooooooo cute! wat i dont think is soo cool is Kate!!!!!! All she does is yap yap yap. All negative. I feel bad 4 Jon. I heard that Kate kicked him out of da house and he is now living in their barn. i personally think that Kate is da 1 who should be in da barn. Those poor kids. they have 2 listen 2 them fight. they r probably sooo scared. They r probably wondering y their daddy wont come back in the house. i hope Kate learns her lesson. so Jon can get full custody
The show may be edited that way to provide more drama. The production company shoots many hours of video and condenses it down to a 1/2 hour show. They surely include the gripes, snipes, and nasty remarks to keep the show more lively.
Remember the saying "be careful what you wish for" , J & K needed to find a way to support their family and they got a way to pull their family apart. Kate & Maddie should look for a good shrink. I have stopped watcing the show.
PS Kate was a bitch long before the twins came along. Just ask all the neighbors in Wyomissing. No friends no family I like my life so much more.
MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS!!!!
totally agree jess. walk a mile in her shoes and you all might think different. u only see half an hour a week theres a lot more that goes on behind closed doors then u think and just because kate is more vocal then john doesnt mean he is inocent, start watching the re runs now u know whats been going on and catch his nasty remarks coz they are there.
Its over!!!!! Better pull out your scrubs Kate! Jon take the kids and get an lawyer and move to Hawaii. Jon, save your kids!!!!!!! ALOHA
