Did Kate spank Leah?

Already lighting up the message boards are new photos that appear to show Kate Gosselin spanking her daughter Leah. Featured on the cover of the next issue of In Touch Weekly, one paparazzi photo looks like Kate takes a swat at Leah's bottom, and another shows Leah shielding her rear end with her hands and screaming while Kate grabs her arm.

What the pictures don't show is Kate actually striking Leah, or if she did how hard, or what led up to the provocation. Of course many think it's never right to spank a child no matter what they've done -- what do you think?

According to one report, a witness told In Touch:

The girl was screaming and crying. Kate just pushed her away and walked off with her coffee. Her older sisters were trying to make Leah feel better.

A previous story showed police at the Gosselins home, and at the time it was said Kate had called because photographers were too close to her property. Now rumors are it was actually paparazzi that called the cops to report the spanking -- a story bolstered by the fact that Kate is wearing the same dress in both the "spanking" pics and the ones of her talking to a police officer.

The controversial pictures were revealed in a promo for the gossip show The Insider, and the voiceover suggests that Jon will be able to use these against Kate if/when the Gosselins divorce. You can watch the promo below to see the images for yourself:

UPDATED: It appears The Insider doesn't like getting free publicity for their show. Here's the authorized version on their website.
