Jon Gosselin: Kate is Exploiting Our Kids for Cash!

Reports have said that Kate Gosselin is worried that Jon might expose her toxic parenting on his own show with Hannah and Collin. It turns out that she needn’t have worried. Jon is against his kids appearing on film, and he doesn’t need a reality gig to expose Kate for what she is. Jon says that Kate is violating a court’s decision by having the kids film, all so that she can exploit them for money to fund her lifestyle. In 2018, the Department of Labor declined to grant Kate the permits that she and TLC wanted. Why? Because both the department and a judge concluded that it was not in the best interests of her minor children to film for Kate Plus 8 . And yet Kate and the network continued to film Kate’s (remaining) minor children, both at home and on location in North Carolina. Speaking to TheDailyMailTV , Jon Gosselin unloads his frustrations that his ex is breaking rules about their kids just to rake in more money. “I’m furious,” he expresses. “Absolutely furious.” “[The network] didn’t care,” Jon Gosselin laments. “It’s really upsetting that big businesses and big corporations go do whatever they want, against a parent’s legal right,” he despairs.. “The judge and the guardian ad litem both agreed that it wasn’t in my children’s best interests to be filmed,” Jon points out. A guardian ad litem is appointed by a judge to evaluate a child’s welfare as an outsider who then reports findings to a judge. Jon continues: “but my ex-wife and TLC had other ideas.” “They put profits and ratings ahead of the well-being of my children,” Jon accuses. He continues furiously: “and filmed illegally without work permits.” “They literally don’t care,” Jon says. “They’ll pay the fine.” He hates that “big business will do whatever they want to do because they have the money to pay all the fines.” Any crime or violation that is payable by fine, from parking to filming without a permit, just means legal for rich people . Remember that. “This is all about money,” Jon notes. “This is a fiduciary thing.” He accuses: “This has nothing to do with anything else other than Kate’s lifestyle, not the kids’ lifestyle.” “Go get a job,” he indirectly tells Kate. “Support your own family.” “It’s disgusting,” he bemoans. “My kids work for her lifestyle.” “Kate does nothing,” Jon continues. “Zero. Absolutely nothing.” in September, Jon spoke of how toxic and damaging a household Kate has built for the children still under her “care.” “I do know what [Kate’s] capable of, whether it’s mental or physical [abuse],” Jon stated grimly. The whole world has known for many years that Kate is a monster. Jon points out that Hannah and Collin left a lot behind just to escape. “I have two kids in my house who left a whole pile of money behind,” he noted. “They left fame and money and came to my house,” he emphasized. “They left it all behind.” He also says that, actually, none of his kids really want to be reality stars. “They have all said they have to film because they feel they need to provide a lifestyle for their mother,” Jon revealed. “They don’t want to film,” he claimed. “They said they have to film. That’s heartbreaking.” “Why do my kids need to provide for themselves?” he asks. “They’re kids.” That is an extremely fair question. A lot of terrible parents exploit their children for reality fame. Networks profit from it. One day, laws need to be passed to prevent this sort of thing, be it Gosselins or Duggars or Teen Moms.

Kate Gosselin: Caught LYING About Relationship With Hannah!

Last week, we all saw video of Kate Gosselin claiming she’s totally cool with Hannah avoiding her like the plague. A new report claims that Kate’s claim was like the contents of the Mother’s Day cards she receives — nothing but polite lies. Apparently, Hannah has skipped out on these family trips because Kate straight-up does not tell her about them or invite her. “So I noticed Hannah’s not here right now,” a producer observed to Kate in the Kate Plus 8 clip. (Seriously, when are they going to change that show’s name to something more mathematically accurate?) “She’s with her dad,” Kate explained. “And she was not able to come,” “And that’s sad,” she added after a pause. Kate then accused: “That’s the second trip here, actually, for us that she hasn’t been with us.” “Hannah … it was sad for us because … you know, they’re getting older,” Kate later explained while speaking to the camera. “And they’re making different choices,” she acknowledged. “And they’re doing different things.” A lot of control freaks have trouble letting go of total micromanagement. “And she opted to stay back with her dad, actually,” Kate stated. She then added: “Which again, you know, her choice.” “Whatever,” Kate expressed. Fun fact! People saying whatever is not  “It’s not optimal for Mom,” she admitted. Kate then claimed: “But it’s something that I support,” “And you know,” she concluded. “We just adjust and move on.” An inside source tells RadarOnline that Kate has been everything but supportive of Hannah. “Kate saying she is supportive of Hannah is outrageous!” the insider exclaimed. Apparently, claims that they retain much of a bond at all are nothing short of absurd. According to the source: “She has not given her a birthday present.” “She didn’t even tell Hannah about all of these family trips,” the insider adds. Just for the record, if you’re a parent, even if your 14 year old (wisely) wants nothing to do with you, you still owe them a birthday present. Another report recently described their actual relationship. “[She] rarely sees or talks with Hannah,” the insider described. “But they do have some contact.” “Jon allows her to go over anytime she wants,” the source noted. The insider then concluded: “but Kate never asks her to come.” Jon has stated in the past that he does insist that his kids maintain relationships with their siblings, but that he understands if they don’t want to speak to him. So why is Jon so chill about some kids not talking to him while Kate seems considerably unchill about Hannah and Collin breathing free air? Well, Jon understands that he made some major screwups. It is 100% valid for his kids to be angry with him. He also understands that the majority of his kids are living in a toxic household under Kate’s tyrranical rule. Kids under the influence of a parent like Kate can be expected to nod and gree with them. It’s a survival mechanism. That Hannah and Collin broke free shows their extraordinary courage. Not every child is brave enough to defy a tyrant. View Slideshow: Jon Gosselin: TLC Was Gonna Pay Me $1 Million to Stay Married to Kate!

Jeff Prescott Slams Kate Gosselin’s Claims That They Were Never a Thing

Kate Gosselin clearly doesn’t deserve love or companionship, but she may find both on her new dating show . But with all of the talk about Kate Plus Date , she has been slamming reports about a previous relationship. That hasn’t stopped her “non” ex from coming forward and confirming that they dated very seriously for two years. It was widely believed that reality TV villain Kate Gosselin had dated Jeff Prescott. Prescott is a millionaire philanthropist who co-founded Dreamstime.  Kate Gosselin took to her Instagram Stories to claim that none of that is true. “I didn’t date him,” the walking nightmare insisted on social media. She went on to warn her fans and followers to never trust “people who sell stories.” We wonder how she defines her career as anything but that. Kate claims that “they are looking for publicity to benefit themselves/their business.” Saying that you dated Kate might get your name or even your business’ name out there. But will it help business? Some people might avoid it like the plague. Speaking to Radar Online , however, Jeff Prescott says that their romance was not fake news. They didn’t just go on a couple of dates. He says that they were an item for nearly two years. Prescott adds that he was, at one point, so serious about Kate that he went house-hunting so that he might live closer to her. Luckily for him, it sounds like their relationship ended before he sank money into Pennsylvania real estate. Now, house-hunting could be the actions of a one-sided man who’s read more into a relationship than is really there. According to Jeff Prescott, he and Kate were both serious about each other. “We were talking about our future together,” he tells RadarOnline . He even says that he and Kate were just about ready to go public with their romance. Just a few years later, and she’s saying that they were never even an item. Ouch. If push came to shove, there may even be a way to prove how serious they allegedly were about each other. Prescott says that he was prepared to do much more than announce that they were dating. He says that, back in 2015, he actually signed on to Kate Plus 8 . There, he would have played the boyfriend of the notorious mother. Clearly, those plans fell through along with their alleged relationship. Some of Kate’s suitors on Kate Plus Date have no idea who she is, which we suppose makes sense. (Who would agree to date her if they knew as much about her as the rest of us?) They have then been shocked to learn that she is the mother of eight children. Of course, that number doesn’t really reflect reality these days, does it? These days, she’s only regularly terrorizing six of her children. Two of them, Hannah and of course poor Collin, have escaped to the relative safety of their father’s house. Jon Gosselin’s not making anybody’s Father of the Year list, but at least he’s not an awful human .

Jon Gosselin: I’m Bringing Collin Home RIGHT NOW!

Early last month, we heard that Jon Gosselin would have Collin home for Christmas . There was still a lot of uncertainty at the time. Now, that uncertainty has all but vanished. Collin is coming home this week — and possibly even by the end of the day on Tuesday. RadarOnline reports some very good, very timely news about Collin Gosselin’s release. “He is expected to be released December 18 or 19,” an inside source close to the Gosselin family reveals. That’s Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. “Collin will transition out of the facility,” the insider elaborates. Adjusting to life outside of an institution can be more challenging than it sounds, but ultimately, we hope that it will be good for him. “And,” the source concludes, Collin “will finally be home with his dad for good.” Jon is no longer a reality star, and works as a DJ — among other things — to make an income. He can’t always afford to take a great deal of time off, but he has nonetheless made a real effort to see Collin for multiple visits. At first, he wasn’t even sure of the location where Collin was being held. That was Kate’s call. But earlier this year, Hannah began living with Jon full time. Now, he’s prepared to add Collin to the mix. This is great news for Collin and Hannah. And fans who have watched Collin miss multiple birthdays will be relieved to see him allowed around one sibling, at least. After Jon won temporary custody of Collin following Kate skipping out on a custody hearing, Jon was excited. Also excited was family friend and longtime barber Eric Rodriguez. “I asked him if he was excited about going to regular school,” Eric said of his most recent visit with Collin. “And he said, yeah he’s super excited about it,” Eric shared. “He just said he didn’t like his other school that he was in before that facility,” Eric reported. “The one that Kate had him in.” Hopefully, Collin will adjust well to living with Jon, Jon’s girlfriend, and Hannah. As you may recall, Kate banished Collin to a facility in 2016. She said that the place was equipped to handle his “special needs.” Kate was vague about it, claiming that Collin has “anger issues.” Some joked and others seriously pointed out that growing up in Kate’s home could seriously impact mental health. Kate herself wrote about being violent towards Collin. Others suggested that Collin may have simply inherited the unbalanced rage that Kate herself seems to possess. Regardless, Collin is a very young teenager and deserves to live a normal, healthy life if he can. Hannah has been staying with Gosselin since earlier this year, causing quite a stir among fans. Jon has confirmed on multiple occassions that she is residing with him permanently. He has also revealed that Hannah and Collin are the only children who speak to him .  Whether the others have their own issues with Jon or are simply under their mother’s pernicious influence is still up in the air. Families are complicated.

Jon Gosselin: I’m Gonna Rescue Collin in Time For Christmas!

Over the weekend, Collin Gosselin resurfaced in photos of him visiting his father, Jon Gosselin. This was heartwarming for countless fans, especially since they know that Jon has filed for custody of Collin. Now, a family friend has opened up — and reveals that Collin could be home with Jon and Hannah surprisingly soon. Eric Rodriguez is the guy who’s been cutting Jon Gosselin’s hair for about 20 years now. Just this week, Jon shared a photo of Eric with Collin, and referred to Eric as “family.” Well Eric spoke to RadarOnline   to reveal that Jon’s quest to bring his son home has a goal: before Christmas. “Jon is hoping for December 18,” Eric reveals. Folks, that’s only a little over a month away. Speaking of Collin, Eric says: “Lets hope he gets out soon.” We all share the sentiment of hoping that Collin is soon free. Fans all want him to be free of the institution that holds him and free of Kate, who put him there and made his childhood a living hell. But Eric has actually seen and spoken to Collin recently, as the photo Jon shared makes abundandly clear. Eric says that Collin seemed “so happy” during his visit. “Oh my god. His smile,” Eric gushes to RadarOnline . “Honestly, his smile was unbelievable” Eric even shares that Collin seems very healthy. “He lost a lot of weight from the last picture I saw of him that Jon showed me,” Eric divulges. it is important to remember that teenagers tend to have weights and body proportions that fluctuate wildly as they grow. “He looks really, really good,” Eric concludes. That is so heartwarming to hear. Collin has been out of sight — but not out of mind — for the better part of two years. As we reported, on October 24, Jon Gosselin filed for custody of Collin . In the court documents filed in Pennsylvania court, Jon argues that it’s in Collin’s best interests to live with him. Anyone familiar with Kate’s troubled and at times allegedly violent interactions with Collin will find that difficult to dispute. Hannah is already with her father, and most of her siblings have gotten to spend time with him here and there. Now, no one is saying that Jon should be winning any Father of the Year Awards. but Kate will be hard pressed to prove to the court that he should return to the home from which she banished him. Collin was sent away in the first place for vague “special needs.” Jon has explained in the past that Collin is smart and questions Kate, which infuriates her. Kate has been widely perceived as being deeply controlling, which brought her into conflict with her son who wanted to be his own person. Some fans believe that his alleged “anger issues” are simply the result of growing up under the suffocating constraints of Kate’s household. Others believe that perhaps he inherited his mother’s rage, and that working on it in an institution as he has is the best way to keep him from turning into another Kate. Either way, it sounds like him leaving Kate’s household, as hard as it must have been, was for the best. But now, countless fans are keeping their fingers crossed and hoping that Collin can come and live with Jon. It’s not super clear how many of his children Jon can afford to support on a DJ’s salary. But plenty of parents have made do with less in order to give their children a safe, loving home. Jon and Kate have been waging a custody battle off and on for nearly a decade, now, since their messy split in 2009. Maybe Collin can finally join Hannah and get to start really experiencing his teenage years. Leaving his current institution just to return to Kate’s house sounds like an “out of the frying pan, into the fire” situation.

Kate Gosselin: My Missing Son is Just Fine! Screw You, Jon!

Kate Gosselin is moving right along … without Jon Gosselin, or anybody who has negative things to say about her man, Donald Trump.   What a lady.  In a new interview with Extra , Kate makes it clear she is over Jon – who recently accused her of deliberately hiding their son – and his nancy-ass drama.   Sheesh.  About Kate’s institutionalized son, Colin , she said, “It’s a family experience that we are dealing the best we can with.” “Everyone’s got their stuff. Another bump in the road and we’re all doing the best that we can with it.” “I am confident he is in the best hands and receiving the best of what’s being offered for his situation.” She continued and claimed that the hardest part was admitting that she was a jackass, and that her life wasn’t perfect. “It’s kind of humbling when as a mom you have to admit that, ‘I am not enough for what you need.’ That’s kind of what I struggle with, but we’re moving on.” Um, okay.   Naturally, she had something to say about ex-husband and rumored drug dealer Jon Gosselin , and said: “I don’t have a relationship with him – I’ve moved on. I support the kids and their relationship [with him] – some visit, some choose not to, some visit sometimes.” “Sometimes” is pretty hard to come by when you’re actively keeping your children away from their paternal father, but we digress. “I support them and what they want so they can be happy and whole,” she told Extra . OH OKAY. Jon Gosselin Doesn’t Know Where His Son Collin Is, Claims Kate Won’t Tell Him She also claimed that even if she hadn’t hit “the big time” with her TLC-crapshoot of a show, she would have ended up divorcing. Are you LOLing? It’s okay; we are, too. “All I can say is that a lot of people try to pigeonhole you and say reality TV led to [the demise of my marriage],” she revealed. “The writing was already written on the wall.” She adds that “I always say it [would have] ended the same way, except the world wouldn’t have known about it. “I think that along the way, the signs were there and it’s unfortunate regardless,” Kate reasoned. Kate Plus 8 Trailer (2016) Kate also weighed in on her former Celebrity Apprentice  mentor, Donald Trump, and praised him for his win. “That’s kind of a weird thing to think about because I knew him outside of and prior to Apprentice .” “I fully expect him to take his success in business and make our country successful,” she stated.   “I hope that and hope that others can get behind him [because] I do know that at the heart of Donald Trump is a true and utter love of our country, and if he allows that to guide him, we will all be really happy.” Well, you can’t win ’em all … especially if you’re Kate Gosselin, but if you’re Donald Trump, all bets are off.  Stay ridiculous, Kate.  Keep at it.  View Slideshow: 23 Infamous Kate Gosselin Scandals

Kate Gosselin: Reality Ratings Plummet! Will Kate Plus 8 Get Canceled?!

As you may have heard the first episode Kate Plus 8 Season 4 premiered on Tuesday night. Watch Kate Plus 8 Season 4 Episode 1 Online Of course, there’s a good chance that you didn’t hear, because the show returned after a long hiatus with very little fanfare – which may help explain why Kate and company received their lowest ratings to date. According to Radar Online the Kate Plus 8 season premiere was watched by just 955,000 viewers . That’s less than half of the show’s audience from last season. “It’s the same old story,” one production insider told Radar. “The past is played out and there are too many other things going on in the world.” Another insider blamed Kate with a much more succinct explanation: “She’s just not very likeable.” “Not very likeable” is putting it mildly, of course. In recently released excerpts from a tell-all entitled Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World , Kate admits to physically abusing her children in shocking diary entries unearthed by author Robert Hoffman. Viewers were first drawn to the Gosselins as a family that struggled in a relatable fashion, but also seemed bound together by tremendous love for one another. Jon and Kate’s divorce and the years of bad press that followed have soured that impression to the point that the public’s interest in Kate these days is mainly limited to unfavorable tabloid impressions. Producers have promised a glimpse into Kate’s dating life in upcoming episodes, but if that doesn’t draw in viewers, Gosselin may suffer the embarrassment of a midseason cancelation. Watch Kate Plus 8 online at TV Fanatic if you’re one of the few Kate fans left in the world (or if you just want to see her go down in flames).

Kim Kardashian Shares New Family Photo, Feels "Blessed" to Visit Armenia

Kim Kardashian has shared a new family photo from her ongoing trip to Armenia . The reality star is on vacation in her ancestral country ahead of the 100th anniversary of the genocide executed by the Ottoman Turks of more than 1.5 million Armenians from 1915 to 1923. She most recently spent time there with husband Kanye and daughter North, exploring a monastery and marveling over a bright orb-like mass in the center of a stone church “Blessed,” Kim simply wrote as a caption to the following image. On Thursday, Kim, Khloe Kardashian and their two cousins Kara and Kourti (really, they have two cousins named Kara and Kourti) met with Armenia’s Prime Minister . Wrote Kardashian of the sit-down: “It was an honor to meet the Prime Minister of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan who expressed how proud they are that we are proud Armenians and we have not forgotten our roots! #NeverForget.” The relatives later stopped for pictures at the Mother Armenia statue. “This statue reminds visitors of the strong female figures in Armenian history. I love how powerful women are and respected so much in our culture,” Kim Tweeted of the monument. The Kardashians have vowed to continue spreading awareness about the genocide long after their trip concludes, which we can only presume Kim plans on doing by snapping selfies of her large boobs a lot.

Kate Gosselin on Jon Gosselin: My Kids Don’t Even Visit Him!

Kate Gosselin has been giving a lot of interviews lately, which means, of course, that she’s been trash-talking the father of her children like it’s her job (which we guess it sort of is). Over the years, Kate has become a master of subtle shade-throwing, and while she used to just let her feelings be known in shrill tirades, now she neuters her victims one tiny snip at a time. She still hasn’t gotten any better at lying, however, but more on that later. View Slideshow: Kate Gosselin: 31 Photos of a Terrible Mother First, let’s get to Kate’s latest comments about her ex. Earlier this week Kate said her kids lack a male role model , which would be tough for any dad to hear. (Although Jon just became a DJ at age 38, so she may have a point.) Today, Kate doubled-down on those comments, claiming that the main reason Jon sucks as a role model is that some of his kids never even see him! “Some of the kids visit, some don’t,” Kate said in an interview with E! News. “That’s for the best. There were many tears. Things that happened with my divorce were hurtful. I’m definitely a no-regrets kind of person. I’ve always done the best with what I had.” Gotta love that ability to take a question about the kids and make it all about her, right? The whole interview is pretty damn funny, and definitely worth a read. At one point Kate says her celeb crush is Patrick Dempsey (Good luck with that one), but the real highlight is when she’s asked to describe herself: “People think I’m mean and b-tchy,” Kate says, presumably with a straight face and no trace of irony. “But I’m actually pretty laid back, and I don’t have an ego!” (See what we mean about the lying?) Kate Gosselin, ladies and gentlemen. There’s no one quite like her, and suffice it to say after half a decade of covering her, that’s a very, very good thing.
