It's a good thing I don't have access to any sort of media, because I have a number of complaints I would like to publicize. You would not believe the injustices I suffer on a daily basis. And all the people I hate -- their dastardly deeds are shocking. Shocking.
But Kate Gosselin can appear on any morning talk show she pleases, and today she revealed that Jon had emptied their joint account of more than $200,000, leaving her unable to pay her bills (and the kids' bills).
"I need that money to provide for them," she said. "We were in the position after our sextuplets were born that we could not pay our bills. We did the show to provide a better life for them. Never did I think I'd be back in the same position."
In no way do I mean to belittle the fact that Kate cannot pay her bills. Whether or not she decides to take out a hit on Jon, it would be nice to have the requisite money on hand. But honestly, I'm not worried she will be turned out of her Pennsylvania home to set up camp in the kids' Crooked Houses. I don't think she is, either. She has the law on her side, not to mention TLC.
So embarrassing Jon on TV was just lowering herself to his level. Jon is a jerk; it's getting a little redundant at this point. What else can we hear about this guy that would actually be news? If it's not one of the following, I don't want to hear it.
*Jon has made a porn film with John Wayne Bobbitt, Tonya Harding and Joey Buttafuoco.
*Jon sets himself on fire.
*Jon admits that he slept with David Letterman.
How Judgemental you people have become!
I notice that childcare workers who handle groups of children of the same age group are not 'stoneing' Kate! How many of you people have raised..birthed, trained, fed, educated 8 children? How many of you have figured out how to SUPPORT financially, their medical, day to day living and ultimately, educational needs? Kate DID NOT SEEK a free tummy tuck! It was offered by a viewer who was married to the Plastic Surgeon. Did any of you see the show when Jon had his HORRIBLE, PAINFUL hair transplants PHEW! What a wooze! Jon did the show of 'building'... his OWN HARLEY! And immediately had to have all the clothes and goodies to go with it. Jon! HOT STUFF ! Big Bad Biker! Laughable! When the company delivered the PINK BIKE to Kate..what was it she did? SHE DONATED IT TO CHARITY!
Many people who have massive responsibilities are known to be Obsessive, and methododicaly intense due to having to stay hard on point 24/7. This job is 24/7 FOREVER! Have a little compassion! She is not perfect, but NO ONE IS and JON....JON should be ashamed and work at getting a backbone and showing some REAL RESPONSIBILITY!
I am as tired as anyone else about all of this, but my question is for all of you so called devoted mothers who drop your kids off to strangers every a.m. and dont see them for 10 hours a day, consider yourself more respectable and claim to have well adjusted children stop kidding yourselves. This woman took an opportunity to secure her and her childrens future and seeing how Jon is wigged out and never could have supported his family , why continue to put her down. Sweep your own street
At this point - they deserve each other - no one starts out wanting a marriage to fall apart and certainly not in public. The marriage failed because they both failed each other and more importantly their children. They need to start finding a way to make this up to their kids. As a nurse Kate will not make enough money to support the kids. John seems unable to keep a job. He says $$ don't matter but obviously it does as he seems to be helping himself to it quite easily. John has proven himself to be a liar and a cheat so why is anyone surprised about the missing funds. Kate has proven herself to be controlling and manipulative, no one should have to live like that. Everyone including myself needs to move on to other things. In the big picture they just don't matter.
First of all I'm glad to see that any decent woman with common sense can see this "Tramp" for what she is a lying cheating tramp.
Now that doesn't mean he's a saint he's a cheater himself.
Oh and he only left her with a grand in the bank, yea what a crock, but to take the cake the "TODAY" show which seems to be her place of residence seems to revel in this trash and are contributing to it every time they let her on to babble that "BS" she's babbling.
Boy what low standards they have for that show now, used to be a good place to really get up to date information and good reporting, now it's an outlet for the "National Rag" .
If Kate is so broke, why doesn't she quit going to the spa? Quit tanning? Quit getting her nails done? She doesn't know what it means to be broke!
I am really tired of her crying I am broke. Jon stole are money. the show provides us a way to be able to take trips and do things. Just think of all the trips you have already taken. alot of children do not even get to go anywhere.as far as all the free stuff kate gets for herself... hey whoever is doing this dont you think this woman has enough. Why not take half of the free things kate gets and find another single mom that maybe needs extra food or help with the rent ect.dont you think thats alot better than blowing it all on one person.I mean you can have just so many shoes..lol.nothing is ever enough for kate. She wants more. can you imagine how wonderful it would be for a hard working single mom that can not take her kids anywhere... think about it. who ever donates all this free stuff. Try giving it to someone who deserves it.A free trip or outing or whatever.
easy come easy go. these people aren't entitled to ANYTHING. k8 is NOUVEAU RICHE and classless. k8 implanted multiples ON PURPOSE for a photo op and EXPECTS everyone else to pay for them. these kids should be removed and the parents exiled to gitmo. they NEED punishment.
Hello!? Did anyone watch the interview?! Kate struck first and then was told to put the money back...so she did. However, she is not poor Kate. Did everyone forget that she has been leaving the kids at home to go hawk her books about raising her family WHILE John sat at home, taking care of the kids? Where is the book money? John is entitled to half of that as well.
People, please do not feel sorry for Kate or John. They are silly people, and the only true victims are the children, who still don't know what it is like to earn an honest dime. I hope they cancel the show so their parents can both go get REAL jobs.
Did you also forget that Kate receives all kinds of free stuff? I know many people that have seen her around town getting everything free or for a discount...groceries, clothing, etc. I don't feel sorry for her, she needs to get real.
Save the tears Kate...YOU SUCK!
Kate was lying through her teeth on the Today show. The whole thing was a performance, designed to throw Jon even further on the bus (note to Kate: he doesn't need your help) while attempting to make this nouveau-riche horror of a woman relatable to her rapidly diminishing audience.
How do you know she's lying? Aside from her body language, note the words she used. He took money from the "liquid" account. This means there's at least one more, even if she can't get her hands on the money right.this.minute. Then, she said that he's been withdrawing money steadily since August -- why is it suddenly an issue? Could it be because he finally did the right thing by his children and stopped filming? (I don't care why he did it, the important thing is that the kids are off camera.) In the second segment, she described her future projects with TLC, and the ring she wants to buy to replace her wedding ring. What practically destitute woman with children to support even considers buying "a pearl surrounded by eight diamonds", no matter how "symbolic"?
Oh, wait, I know the answer to that. The one who isn't destitute at all. Leopards don't change their spots ... although his behavior since the divorce was announced appears to made people forget it, she behaved horribly towards Jon during their marriage. Her behavior since -- running from one media outlet to another to bash him -- has been no better.
I think that this is really getting out of hand. I feel sorry 4 these kids, I really do. Everyone is looking @ Kate like she is wrong 4 wanting the show 2 continue. This is the way that she knows how 2 make sure that her kids r taken care of 4 now and in the future. Can't no ordinary job put 8 kids around the same age thru Jr. And Sr. prom plus college. Especially 5 kids going in2 college @ the same time. I admit I felt bad 4 Jon when Kate talked down on him and couldn't blame him 4 wanting 2 divorce her. But enough is enough, Jon isn't any better than Kate. He is wearing all of these name brand clothes, going on vacations and all. He is loving the perks from this show 2. And 4 him 2 empty out the bank account is petty and childish. I am convinced that he needs some help like seriously. If he really Didn't want his Kids on the show anymore, than there wouldn't b a show bcuz the last time I checked inorder 2 do a show with kids, u need both parents consent, unless one parent lost their parental rights. Jon Gosselin is desperate and Kate is being a hustler tryna make things happen. Both of them just need 2 sit down 2gether and work things out the right way.
P.s. Both of them r making me sick!!!!!! They let money ruin their marriage
Everybody is so quickly to judge Kate put yourself in her place she takes care of her kids while job goes our and party kates only income is the show what would she do now I'm pretty sure that jon is not concern about that he just took the money and left that's preety selfish to me
Jon Gosselins actions are so obvious. He is a disgusting pig who is smoking pot, cheating, spending money on his other women instead of his fam. Then when TLC and Kate take a stand against him, he tries to shut everything down because he knows he is not included. If I was Kate I would try to fastrack my divorce as quickly as I could. There are pictures of him smoking pot just recently that have surfaced. She could prove he is unfit to have those kids all the time. She is the one trying to pay bills, what was he going to do with this 200grand? Did he offer to pay any bills with it. So far I havent heard that he was...
It makes me sick,what child at age nine can be told one sided facts . Kate how can you say I tell them the facts and they make up thier own minds.You need to spare them all the negative press about anything thier father does or does not do. You are dragging your children into your mess with your divorce. that is thier father no matter what. also since when do your little ones know whats best, to continue doing the show or not.That is what parents are for. To do whats best for thier children.Let staff and crew visit the kids if they are so attached. Dont use that as one of your many excuses to keep the kids filming.Wait till they get older and see all the filming and how you treated thier father in public.. on tv and in front of tons of viewers. The part about Jon stole are money. What about all your talk shows and book.. Did you spend that already. I dont know anyone that needs one hundred thousand dollars to feed thier kids.Isnt that what you stole out of the same account.
Kate Gosselin is getting everything she deserves. She is a publicity wh0re and her weepy interview on Today was sickening - particularly after her behavior in Pennsylvania this very weekend at a fundraiser for children! Stop the show and don't give her another one.
If Jon is soooo worried about his kids welfare (all of a sudden) why is he disgracing himself and the family. Also, all he had to do was not agree to sign a new contract with TLC himself. Oh, but that would mean no sport car, apartment in NY, condo in Utah and goofing around with young girls.
Kate may be able to recover from this in time and with legal council; but, that does not change the fact that she cannot pay her bills TODAY due to Jon's erratic behavior. I only have one child and due to lay offs at my job last year, I am surviving on unemployment while looking for work. I know exactly what it feels like to see your child needs something and know you can't provide it at that moment. I cannot imagine having to look into eight little faces and feel that! Jon's behavior is unacceptable and for those who feel Kate is just trying to ride the gravy train with the show, I've got news for you. The show has become a part of their lives and their main source of income. Kate readily admits it opens up doors and experiences for the kids they would not have otherwise. It also allows her to be a "stay at home mom" during her custodial hours. That is such a rare opportunity to have. Any other job would barely pay for basic expenses and she would be out of the home much more often, so the show is not quite the monster some people make it out to be. Also, she had the good sense to set up some type of untouchable account/fund for the future of the kids, so they are going to get their cut of the money when they are older. GO TEAM KATE!
Word. That’s why I’m so confused when fans try to take one side or the other – why do people feel like they need to choose between two vile human beings? There are no good sides here, except for the kids’, and unfortunately neither parent is on THEIR side.
Now I’m not condoning Jon’s recent behavior because he’s acted like an idiot, but it should be mentioned that he wanted to stop the show last year. I kind of got the impression that he hadn’t been all that happy filming the show for a while. She was adament that they continued the show because of all the opportunities it presented for her and the children.
Kate keeps trying to play the pity card. She whines that she’s a single mother raising 8 children, and she expects all single mothers across the country to rally behind her. What these single mothers don’t get is that, Kate has a full-time nanny, a full security team, and makes much more money than the average single mother. At some point these people have to realize that Kate is not a relateable person.
They are both crappy parents and the only people suffering from thier immature name calling are the children.
Why does everyone assume the show is harmful to the children? I don't get it. Jon is irresponsible, and he is the monster here. I would have yelled at him the same way Kate did if I had to put up with his childish behavnior. Anybody on Team Jon is an idio
Jon is not the monster his wife is. At least one of the parents is taking the kids off of TV, Mom is just looking to keep the gravy train a rollin. I think that both of these people are horrible monsters but at least on of them is going to get the kids off of TV. Page your maiden name fit you better So MORON.
I think that Kate Gosselin deserves everything that Jon hands out to her. She is NOT a nice person....I mean have you actually watched this show. She hates him and always has. The Toys R Us-Christmas shopping episode says everything about their relationship. She belittled him in a public place, screaming, yelling, throwing a temper tantrum. Strangers were staring and if I had been him I would have run like the wind from that evil woman looong ago. She is obsessed with acting like she cares about these kids. She had tons of help when those children came home, and I have no sympathy for her position in life. There was NO reason to be implanted with 8 (or more) embryos at one time. You asked for it you got it, live with it.
Kate Gosselin has been playing the sympathy card. Kate goes onto these talk shows with sobs, and answers every question with "It's for the kids" and evades the real questions. Rarely does she ever get grilled like John does.
If everything is "for the kids" then she would stop exploiting her children and stop using them to make money, cut her public appearances to be there for her children full-time.
Why does Kate feel that she's entitled to a TV show in order to "support" her kids?
They are not the only family in the US who have more than 8 kids. Kate needs to give up the multi-million dollar mansion, get a job that does not involve exploiting and filming her kids, cut the extravagant living, and live within her means. Get the kids off the TV show. They are in school full time now and need to get on with their lives off the camera.
Kate is clearly in it for the money. On "The View" she was asked if she didn't have enough money? Kate's response was to the tune of, "Does anyone ever have enough money?"
