    Kate Gosselin Slammed By Ex-Husband

    Jon and Kate Gosselin were known for their hit reality television show Jon & Kate Plus Eight. The couple had twins, and then not long after, gave birth to sextuplets. Their growing family landed them a spot on television, where their daily struggles, with eight children, were documented.

    However, in 2009, Jon was photographed with many different younger women, and instantly became a tabloid hit. The couple announced their separation during one of the final episodes of their show, which broke the all-time viewership record for a reality television series.

    Since their separation, the couple has had a bitter relationship, and have different views on how their children should be raised. Last month, on Oprah’s Where Are They Now? episode, Jon revealed that his children have developmental problems because of the time spent filming the show. On November 4, Kate took to her personal blog to clarify his statements.

    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.

    Because he has spoken negatively about our children, I feel I owe it to them to respond on their behalf. Each and every one of our children has met and continues to exceed all physical, mental and emotional developmental milestones throughout their lives. Their normal development is regularly monitored by myself, their pediatrician and school staff, as is usual within any family.

    It is also very normal in a family, especially a large family, to have a full range of personalities, abilities, talents, hobbies and struggles. Ours is no different. However, anyone who has personally met our children all have the same thing to say: they are the most normal, pleasant, polite, loving and well adjusted children they have ever met. Most even go on to say that they are a “a delight” to be around.

    When our kids grow up, they may see their father’s latest interview and wonder why he made untrue and hurtful statements about them. I know that I risk stirring up an unwanted public and private “frenzy” by commenting on this, but, if our children ever stumble upon that interview, I want to be able to point them to this statement so that they know that I publicly set the record 100% straight on this one, for their sake.

    Now, Jon is turning his animosity directly towards Kate. In a recent interview with Philadelphia Magazine , Jon didn’t hold anything back when describing his ex-wife. “Everyone thinks I’m out to get Kate,” he said. “I don’t give a f—! What would I get out of it? Everyone knows she’s an a–hole, you know what I mean? I don’t have to — she’s proven that!”

    He then went on to talk about Kate’s excessive use of social media, and how she still wants to be in the spotlight. “She tweets everything,” he said. “To the world, all about my children. I think it’s disgusting and awful. They can’t even have a normal life… Kate wants to still be on television. She’s now digging into the past, because that’s what sells. Too late, honey. No one gives a f—, really.”

    However, it’s not Kate that will be making her way back to television, it’s Jon. He recently signed on to appear on VH1’s Couples Therapy, where he will work on his two-year relationship with his girlfriend Liz Jannetta. “I didn’t put out an open bid,” Jon said. “This is something that just popped up. We needed the therapy for our relationship. We really couldn’t afford therapy. And it’s free therapy.”

  • Kate Gosselin Blasted By Ex-Husband Jon Gosselin

    Like most divorces, it’s evident things didn’t end on an amicable note for Kate Gosselin, and her ex-husband Jon.

    However, the extent of their animosity wasn’t so evident, until last week.

    According to Reality TV Magazine, Jon Gosselin has felt some kind of way about his ex-wife for quite a while, and he’s decided to speak on it.

    However, “speaking on it” would be an understatement where Gosselin’s regards are concerned, as he went for the jugular stating his disdain for the mother of his eight children.

    It appears her parenting skills are the crux of his problems with her, although, most fans are aware that Gosselin may still have steam radiating from his ears since she slapped him with a lawsuit months ago.

    But, nevertheless, now his issue is her parenting skills. So, here’s where it all started.

    On Friday Dec. 27, Philadelphia Magazine printed a recent interview with the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star. What started out as a conversation about Jon’s life after Kate, quickly turned into a rant about her. When Gosselin was asked about his ex-wife, he immediately grew defensive and went for her jugular.

    “Everyone thinks I’m out to get Kate. I don’t give a f-ck!” he said, “What would I get out of it? Everyone knows she’s an a–hole, you know what I mean? I don’t have to—she’s proven that!”

    Then, he went on to discuss the issues he has with her parenting skills as he feels social media usage is of too much importance to her. Gosselin feels that she shares too much the children’s lives online in an effort to gain publicity.

    “She tweets everything. To the world, all about my children. I think it’s disgusting and awful. They can’t even have a normal life,” he explained. In a nutshell, the 36-year-0ld Korean-American feels that her social media usage conflicts with her ability to effectively parent the children, as her attention is divided. But, that’s not all he has to say. It actually gets a little worse.

    “Kate wants to still be on television. She’s now digging into the past, because that’s what sells. Too late, honey. No one gives a f–k, really,” he said.

    Kate Gosselin has not yet responded to her ex-husband’s claims. Hopefully there is a light at the end of the ‘Jon and Kate’ tunnel. Fans can only hope for the best, because they have a long road ahead with 8 young children!

  • Kate Gosselin Totally Dissed by Ex Jon

    Kate Gosselin Totally Dissed by Ex Jon

    Whoah!

    Jon Gosselin is not feeling the love this holiday season. The ex-husband of reality star Kate Gosselin said some really harsh things about his former wife in an interview with Philadelphia Magazine.

    “Everyone thinks I’m out to get Kate. I don’t give a f-ck!” the Jon & Kate Plus Eight star said, “What would I get out of it? Everyone knows she’s an a–hole, you know what I mean? I don’t have to—she’s proven that!”

    He continued to criticize Kate’s use of social media, saying it is not good for the kids, “She tweets everything. To the world, all about my children. I think it’s disgusting and awful. They can’t even have a normal life.”

    The 38-year-old Gosselin continued saying that Kate always seeks the spotlight. “Kate wants to still be on television. She’s now digging into the past, because that’s what sells. Too late, honey. No one gives a f–k, really.”

    Although Kate has not responded to the latest outburst by her ex, it’s clear the two have little love for each other.

    After Jon told Oprah Winfrey that their eight children have stubbled “developmentally”, Kate responded by saying that Jon has “value judgements…based on his limited visits (albeit mutually agreed upon) with our children.”

    “I find it very heartbreaking that my children’s father chooses a public forum to discuss his current opinions of the ‘development’ of our children,” she wrote on her blog Monday, admitting that she risked “stirring up an unwanted public and private ‘frenzy’ by commenting on this, but, if our children ever stumble upon that interview, I want to be able to point them to this statement so that they know that I publicly set the record 100% straight on this one, for their sake.”

    Love has never been lost between these two, but perhaps they need to think more about the kids. What do you think?

  • Kate Gosselin Responds To Jon’s Oprah Interview

    Jon Gosselin gave Oprah an interview recently wherein he spoke about his eight children, his strained relationship with ex-wife Kate, and what the pressures of being on television will do to both kids and a marriage. Now, Kate has taken the opportunity to speak her mind about the whole thing on her blog and says she wants to set the record straight.

    The Gosselin family gained fame on TLC with “Jon and Kate Plus 8”, which ran from 2007-2011, and the world watched twins Cara and Maddy and sextuplets–Aaden, Joel, Collin, Alexis, Hannah, and Leah–grow up on their television screens. While the show allowed the family to move into a much bigger home and travel the world, Jon says it also had negative effects on their development.

    “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 says that’s just not true, however, and wrote a lengthy blog post about the interview and Jon’s comments.

    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.

Each and every one of our children has met and continues to exceed all physical, mental and emotional developmental milestones throughout their lives.

    Jon, who is now a waiter at a Pennsylvania restaurant, says he and his ex-wife barely speak anymore and only communicate regarding the children.

    “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 said.

  • Jon Gosselin: Kids Have “Developmental” Problems

    Jon Gosselin rose to fame on the TLC show “Jon and Kate Plus 8”, and the world watched the 8 Gosselin children grow up on their television screens. The show allowed the family to travel the world, ensured that the kids would be able to go to college, and helped pay for a home with plenty of acreage for the kids to run around on. But ultimately, says Jon, it hurt them.

    “It just became stressful on the kids and stressful on me,” Gosselin told Oprah recently. “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.”

    Gosselin says that after a bitter divorce, he and Kate don’t really have any communication other than the barest essentials regarding their shared guardianship of the kids.

    “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 said.

    Gosselin, who now works as a waiter in rural Pennsylvania, says his reputation became ruined towards the end of the show’s run, when his name was dropped from the title and the tabloids were running rampant with rumors of adultery and partying.

    “The most common misperception [is] that I cheated on my wife, that I left my family, that I’m a party boy,” he told Winfrey. “But my family knows the truth.”

    Do Jon and Kate Gosselin Still Talk?

    After 10 years of marriage, eight children and a hit reality TV show, Jon and Kate Gosselin decided to end their marriage. Jon opens up about co-parenting octuplets and where his relationship stands with his ex-wife. Plus, hear about the effects of raising children in the spotlight.

  • Jon Gosselin Sits Down With Oprah

    Jon Gosselin Sits Down With Oprah

    Jon Gosselin hasn’t been in the public eye much lately; the father of 8 who rose to fame on the TLC reality show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” ran from the spotlight following a very messy, very publicized divorce and now lives in a cabin in Pennsylvania, working as a waiter in a local restaurant.

    But Gosselin sat down with Oprah recently for an episode of “Where Are They Now” and speaks pretty candidly about his relationship with Kate now; that is to say, it’s almost non-existent.

    “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.”

    According to Jon, the two of them barely speak to one another these days.

    “I wish her the best in all that she does, but [we’re] just moving in totally two different directions, just totally not on the same page at all about anything,” he said.

    The Gosselins became world-famous after their story was televised on TLC; after having twin girls, the couple decided to try for another child and ended up becoming pregnant with sextuplets. They eventually landed their own reality series, which became a hit and led to a successful book career for Kate. But as the show progressed, so did the tension between the couple. While they admitted from the beginning that having eight children didn’t always “bring out the best” in the two of them, it was obvious that things were rapidly going downhill. During the last couple of seasons of the show, Jon was often not present, and when their separation and divorce became tabloid fodder, the reality series turned into a show about a celebrity mom who often had to shield her children from paparazzi.

    The new episode of “Where Are They Now” airs on Sunday night at 10 p.m. on OWN.

  • Jon Gosselin: Waits Tables, Lives in a Cabin

    Jon Gosselin is no longer living the high life at the expense of full exposure and damage to his children. Entertainment Tonight reports that he is now waiting tables and living the simple life in a cabin in Pennsylvania, a far cry from dwelling in the $1.3 Million dollar home he had while filming the ridiculously popular reality show Jon & Kate plus 8.

    Jon says his circumstances are due to the near impossibilty of finding employment after his messy divorce and the implosion of his reality show. He now serves the locals at a restaurant called Black Dog. Jon tells ET‘s Brooke Anderson,

    “At first I was nervous because I was like, ‘How are people going to react?’,” explains Jon of his initial hesitancy to take the job. “But then I’m thinking, ‘Well it’s fun and I get to talk to people.’ And they technically already know me … they’re like ‘Are you the guy?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m the guy.’”

    With the dramatic drop in the income he earns Black Dog from his previous situation, Jon lives without some creature comforts like internet and television. Though he’s hit rock bottom “about 20 times” since his high-profile split from wife, Kate, he says he is happy and trying to make the most of what he’s got.

    “I [party] now on a different level,” he tells ET.

    However, Jon tells ET he has no regrets about signing up for “Jon and Kate”. He said, “I don’t regret anything. You learn from your mistakes. That’s what builds you to who you are today.”

    Jon reportedly has zero relationship with his ex-wife Kate Gosselin who he does not pay child support to.

    “[Kate and I] both support [the children] financially because she takes care of school and all that stuff, but I take care of the exact same things she takes care of,” he said. “I buy their own groceries. They have their own groceries at my house, their own bedrooms, their own stuff. It’s doubled.”

    “I don’t have a relationship with Kate. There is no relationship. Text and email. That’s it,” Gosselin told Anderson, noting that it’s been that way for four years. The two don’t even cross paths when Gosselin goes to pick up their children. “The nanny comes out and I exchange the kids at her gate or at the bus stop,” he explained. “I don’t physically see her.”

  • Jon Gosselin is being Sued by Ex-Wife

    Since their split in 2009, the drama has never seemed to end with these two. The “Jon and Kate Plus 8” reality television stars are at it again.

    This time, Kate is suing her ex-husband Jon Gosselin, accusing him of hacking into her personal computer and cell phone and using the information obtained to give her private secrets to an author writing a tell-all book about her life.

    The claim, filed in U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania on Monday, August 26, is stating that Jon stole a hard drive from Kate that had all of her personal information and then used to it help his friend and tabloid writer, Robert Hoffman, write a book called, “Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World”, which was released in 2012.

    The suit states that after illegally obtaining her information, “Jon then gave the contents of Kate’s email account and the hard drive, all of which were acquired illegally, to his friend and business partner, tabloid reporter Robert Hoffman. Hoffman used the illegally acquired data to publish a defamatory book about Kate … which was removed from large distributors like Amazon.com because the information was obtained illegally.”

    According to Kate’s lawyer, Jordan Rushie, “The book with Robert Hoffman had certain confidential info that he shouldn’t have and she believes it came from Jon”.

    In an email to Radar Online, Hoffman threatens to release more information about Kate if he is falsely accused of anything by her or her lawyers.

    “The other 90 percent of the material that I possess will not be published, ever, but you can be sure that if I’m falsely accused of anything and drug into court, or called a liar by Kate Gosselin or her lawyers, this information will come out then, including photographs.”

    Jon and Kate showcased their lives on the TLC reality show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” until their divorce in 2009. The former couple has 8 children, a set of twins and sextuplets.

  • Jon Gosselin Apology: Regrets Behavior, Ready to Move On

    Jon Gosselin’s apology to his ex-wife Kate will appear in the next issue of People magazine, which is scheduled to hit newsstands this Friday (June 22) According to the publication, the estranged couple are apparently getting along now, and have attempted to put their past behind them.

    Regarding the number of women he dated following the split, Gosselin appears to be remorseful. “I am sorry, because I did stuff I wouldn’t want done to me,” he explained. Gosselin also added that he accepts “his share” of the responsibility for their marriage’s collapse, stating that his passive-aggressive nature prevented him from communicating with his wife.

    Although he’s considered returning to the entertainment industry on a number of occasions, the father of eight says that nothing he’s been offered thus far has been the right fit for him. According to him, some of the offers were fairly outrageous, and he didn’t want his children to think less of him for appearing on a television program just to make a few dollars.

    “I used to talk to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (Michael Jackson’s rabbi) a lot when I lived in New York,” Gosselin explained. “He said, ‘There are two things you can do with your fame – sell out or take it and use it for good.’ I didn’t grasp that at the time.”

    Gosselin, who now lives in Berks County, Pennsylvania and works as the director of sales and promotions for Gameface International, is ready to get his life back in order.
