  • Kate Gosselin: Did She Enlist Daughters Cara and Mady to Spy on Dad Jon Gosselin During Visits?

    Kate Gosselin recently came under fire when court documents surfaced indicating Jon Gosselin believed she was abusing their eight children by feeding them moldy food and leaving them for days on end in the care of a teenage babysitter. Now a new report says the former Kate Plus 8 star also enlisted older daughters Cara and Mady Gosselin to spy on their dad, Jon Gosselin, during visits to his home.

    RadarOnline reports that Berks County, Pennsylvania civil court papers indicate that Kate Gosselin sent the girls to their dad’s home with cell phones so they could report back to her on their father’s actions. Jon Gosselin had a problem with his twin daughters having cell phones at that time, since they were only 10 years old. He reportedly told Kate the girls could call her from his cell phone if they wanted to talk with her.

    “Father has told Mother that he does not want the girls bringing their cell phones with them during his custodial time as the girls are constantly texting Mother to ‘report’ on what Father is doing,” Jon’s attorneys stated in the documents, adding that the concerned father believed the twins were “too young” for mobile phones,” the papers quote a lawyer as stating.

    “Father has a phone that the children can use if they want to speak to Mother, so it is not necessary for the girls to bring their own phones with them,” the lawyers explained.

    This isn’t the first time Kate Gosselin has been accused of spying on Jon Gosselin either. She ordered her nannies to keep tabs on what Jon said to their children during phone conversations, too.

    “ALWAYS listen with one ear to hear what they are saying,” Kate Gosselin allegedly wrote in a rules book. “You are always my eyes and ears and need to report everything you see and hear!!!”

    What do you make of Kate Gosselin enlisting the help of her older daughters to spy on Jon Gosselin? Hasn’t enough time gone by since they divorced for her to simply leave his relationship with their kids alone?

  • Gosselin Twins Throw Kate Shade During Interview

    Kate Gosselin and two of her eight children made an appearance on the “Today” show on Thursday morning, and it did not go well.

    The reality stars were there to promote a “Where Are They Now” feature in People Magazine, and when asked a question that stumped her for a moment, Mady was told to “find your words” by Kate, accompanied by a hand clap in her face. The 13-year old answered with a typical 13-year old glare, while her sister sat silent on the other side of their mother.

    The question, posed by Savannah Guthrie, was about what Mady might want to say to the world about how her family is doing, and might have stumped anyone whose family had been the subject of a reality show as well as the covers of various tabloids. Kate and ex-husband Jon have had a very public battle after their bitter divorce concerning their kids and what’s best for their well-being, and Jon has spoken to Oprah–among others–about the barely concealed contempt he holds for his former wife.

    “At this point, there is no cooperation, there is nothing, There’s two different totally parenting styles, two different totally everythings. Which is a shame, because it affects me, but it really affects my children,” he told Oprah.

    The world might indeed be curious about how the family is doing since Jon said in an interview that because Kate has forced the children to grow up in the public eye, they have developmental problems.

    “It just became stressful on the kids and stressful on me,” Gosselin told Oprah. “You’re trying to keep your marriage together, and you’re trying to keep your family ties together…Yes, they got to travel the world, and yes, they got these fabulous things, and yes, they have trust funds, and they’re taken care of educationally. Great. But developmentally, they have problems with their peers, and they have problems with talking to other people, and they have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals and what’s right and what’s wrong. I think more so than someone who grows up off TV.”

    Kate responded to the accusations with a blog post, saying there was nothing wrong with the kids at all.

    “I find it very heart breaking that my children’s father chooses a public forum to discuss his current opinions of the “development” of our children. These opinions are, in reality, value judgements made about our children and they are based on his limited visits (albeit mutually agreed upon) with our children,” she wrote.
