On Thursday’s “Inside Edition” with Deborah Norville, former Gosselin nanny Stephanie Santoro spoke about her relationship with Jon Gosselin. In what was reported as an exclusive interview, Stephanie Santoro says that she not only worked as a nanny for Jon Gosselin, but the two were also lovers. Santoro says that Jon Gosselin would come into the bar where she worked as a cocktail waitress.
Santoro goes on to say during the time that they were together, they exchanged hundreds of explicit text messages.
Santoro claims that Jon Gosselin smoked pot at the family’s home. She also told “Inside Edition” during her 1 month relationship with Gosselin she had sex with him nine times in the apartment above the family’s garage. Santoro claimed their relationship went south when she realized Gosselin was cheating on her with other women. The media has known about Stephanie Santoro since August, shortly after her brief employment as the Gosselin children’s nanny. So her allegations are not new, however since October, Stephanie Santoro has made new claims about the reality dad.
The new allegations made by Santoro could be used by Kate Gosselin in the divorce. Santoro says that Jon Gosselin would brag about hacking into his estranged wife’s email, voicemail and online bank accounts. If true, this would contradict Jon Gosselin’s attorney’s claims that Jon didn’t have access to the family’s bank accounts. Kate accused Jon recently of raiding their joint accounts and not leaving her enough money to pay the bills. The couple was ordered to return all the money that was taken from the accounts when they appeared at a court hearing last week. These new claim of cyber snooping by Jon Gosselin could be true given that he apparently has the technical expertise to do it. However it can be argued that Stephanie Santoro is making these claims up as a way to promote herself. The former nanny and cocktail waitress has been interviewed by several media outlets including Radaronline.com and In Touch Weekly magazine. Its not know if she was paid by any of them.
Stephanie Santoro is a member of a modeling networking site called Model Mayhem. The site connects aspiring and working models with photographers and other industry professionals. Santoro has pictures posted on the site as well as a statement that mentions her involvement in the Jon & Kate drama. She says in her profile on the site “Yes this is really my model mayhem profile, and yes I am Stephanie from the J&K+8 drama. Thank you very much for your understanding that I am just trying to get on with my life as a normal human being.” According to her profile she has been modeling for 10 years. “Inside Edition” will air the second part of its interview with Stephanie Santoro today.
