Maddie Gosselin was photographed hitting her little brother with her sweatshirt and she told her nanny she did it because he was misbehaving in school that day according to
Splash News Online. Kate Gosselin always says on the show she is like her second mother to her six siblings. Maybe she wouldn't have to feel that way if Kate and Jon stopped caring about themselves and doing in press in NY and LA and spent some time with their kids?
I guess Jon Gosselin didn’t feel it the show should go on without him, so he filed a cease and desist order shutting down production on his sooner-to-be ex-wife’s show according to People.
Jon’s lawyer issued this letter today:
“Effective immediately, no production crews are to enter Jon’s family home for any reason. In the event that anyone enters the marital property, Jon Gosselin will notify the local authorities to effectuate police action against any trespassers.”
“We are aware of Jon Gosselin’s recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic,” TLC said in a statement to PEOPLE. “Despite Jon Gosselin’s repeated self destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents.”
Jon also claimed that the kids have been complaining about being filmed all the time and here is what Kate Gosselin told People.
“I’m saddened and confused by Jon’s public media statements. Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits our children and was taping on Friday with the kids.
“I check in regularly with each of the kids to be sure they want to participate in and continue with the show and will continue to do so,” Kate, 34, continues. “I do the show for my family because I believe it provides us opportunities we wouldn’t otherwise have. Jon used to share that belief until as recently as the day the network announced the name change of the show and indicated that Jon would have a lesser role in the show. It appears that Jon’s priority is Jon and his interests. My priority remains our children and their well-being.”
Hopefully their 15 minutes are almost up. If only we could shut down all the press about Jon and Kate as easily as Jon shut down the show that shut him down?
TLC announced today that Jon & Kate Plus 8 will go on, but without Jon. Starting on November 2, Kate Plus 8 will make its debut and here is how TLC described the updates show, “The series will continue to chronicle the Gosselin family as they go on outings and tackle daily challenges and adventures. It will also document Kate’s journey as a newly single mother raising 5 year-old sextuplets and 8 year-old twins.” I don’t think I could watch a half hour of just her and the kids. Her voice alone is enough for me to switch the channel.
Maybe because TLC has written him out of the show or he has had a change of heart, but according to Life & Style he is going file papers to postpone his divorce for 90 days.
He explains, “This will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family.†He also pleaded with her to set aside their anger so they can start interacting amicably. “I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting,†Jon tells In Touch. “Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That’s why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family — not destroy it.â€
Could you imagine if these two got back together?
Hopefully by November 3rd we will be done with these two and we will move on past them, but I highly doubt it.
Jon Gosselin opened to In Touch Weekly and what he is saying sheds a whole new light on when and why his marriage to Kate ended. What is the biggest difference in your life now, compared to a year ago?
What is the biggest difference in your life now, compared to a year ago? Let’s go back to October of last year — that’s when all of this happened. Kate basically came to me out of the blue and said, “I am done. You are going to live your life, and I am going to live my life.” I was like, “What?” I didn’t really know what was going on. When she said that, I was really upset and nervous. Why did she want to break up? I think she initiated the split because she wanted a career. Maybe I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, and she was going to move on regardless. I said, “Are you sure about this?” Did you want to work it out? Yes, I asked, “What do I have to do to mend the relationship? What did I do wrong?” I was beating myself up about it. So I read a lot of books about personalities, like The Five Love Languages. Throughout the marriage, I felt like my personality had changed a lot. In December, I went to therapy. I asked Kate to come, but she didn’t want to. She said, “If you have a problem, go fix it.” When did you and Kate start living separate lives? We went to Utah on January 1. On January 12, she flew back with security and I stayed. That’s when I started to just hang out and meet people, and feel free. Not too many girls, just with my guy friends. I couldn’t do that for nine years. When I came back on the 17th, Kate and I weren’t talking. So I just said, “I’m moving out of the house,” and that was it. How are the kids handling the split and all of the drama? Even though they are young, it still hurts them. They can’t figure it out. They’re like, “Why aren’t they together? Why can’t you hug her?” The other day, Alexis said, “I want you and Mommy to be home together.” And it hurts because it’s not going to happen — and how do you explain that? I just let them know we love them no matter what. It’s hard. I feel like I failed them.
So according to him she called off the marriage almost a year and they have been living apart since January. So in other words that have been lying to us on Jon & Kate Plus 8 even longer than we thought they were. Do you believe him? BTW check out who he said was the first person he started dating after the split and who it was in this week's In Touch Weekly on stands now.
On Monday TLC will be airing a 1 hour retrospective of called Jon & Kate Plus 8: The First 10 Years which is fine, but don’t you think the promo should be changed from The First 10 Years to Their 10 Year Marriage since she filed for divorce on Monday? The best part of the promo is the end when the guy says and a look at what’s ahead for the family. Ouch! I think we know what is ahead…divorce and heartache. Poor TLC their top show is in turmoil, but they have to go on. Personally I think they should rework that promo and make it a little more time sensitive. What do you think?
