Point-Counterpoint: PopEater and AOL Television Debate Jon's Nanny Fling

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 16th 2009 09:16PM

With today's bombshell In Touch Weekly interview where Jon Gosselin's nanny admits to having a sexual affair with the father of eight (in lurid detail), we started wondering if Jon's public perception was ruined. Then we got thinking: Is the fling really that bad? He is single, after all. So, like a medical diagnosis you aren't so sure about, we figured we'd a second opinion, and we did so with our fine compadres at AOL Television. Turns out they're staunchly Team Kate, declaring that Jon is "a terrible husband." See the debate after the jump and pick a winner!

PopEater: OK.... so with the admission from Jon Gosselin's nanny that she and Jon did indeed have relations... does this make Jon look even worse in the public eye? It was, after all, post-split/divorce filing.
AOL Television: Absolutely. He was already on the hook for being a slacker and a terrible husband. But every detail revealed in this report provides more proof that he's got zero ability to make good decisions as a dad and partner. Plus, it's just gross.
PopEater: We agree on the gross factor simply on the premise that she says she was worried his kids were watching out of the window while they were in the hot tub (that's 16 eyes!), but ... the dude was single and is going through a lot.
PopEater: Everyone has rebounds ... his just wind up in magazines
AOL Television: This is true, and all people make mistakes. But with him it's just one bad decision after another. And who's watching his sleeping kids if he's stupping the nanny in the "apartment" out back? This kind of story could cost him his kids! But then again, maybe he just doesn't care.
AOL Television: Although, you have to hand it to him - he's clearly got some game (ick).
PopEater: I'm guessing it's more fame than game
PopEater: He does seem to be setting himself up for these things lately. Meanwhile, Kate's working her new 'do on 'The View' and continues to win the who-looks-better battle. How'd she pull that off? Or did Jon simply hand it to her?
AOL Television: Ha! Yeah, she gets big points for taming the spikey 'do. There's just no contest though - he's all beer gut and faux-biker wear.
PopEater: And he still lands the ladies despite his unfortunate wardrobe ... Again, fame > game. We're not going to bash the dude's weave, though, b/c we'd be bald too if we had 8 kids.
PopEater: So through it all, you're still team Kate?
PopEater: at least in this Nanny instance
AOL Television: We're 100% team Kate. She's got the right instincts here - she knew something was up with the 23-year-old "nanny" charged with her kids' welfare. Keep it together, Kate! Those kids need you to be the best mom you can be.
PopEater: While we're not 100% Team Jon, we're going to cut him some slack with the nanny thing. If anything, he's keeping her around the house more by getting it on with her!

PopEater: Though I suppose that's not in her nanny to-do list (no pun intended)
PopEater: Either way... in the case of Nanny-shag, we're Team Jon
AOL Television: God, I hope they've stocked up on sanitzer at that house.
PopEater: I'm guessing they've got some sort of lifetime supply of Purell donated to them at some point. Fingers crossed!

Separated does NOT = divorce! He is not single YET! And to behave in this manner at the very real risk of one or more of the kids seeing him!!! How can anyone with any intrgrity be Team Jon?

What gets me as much as the affair is that PopEater seems to think that being separated or having filed for divorce is being single! That is really so sad....

Your absolutely right Separation does not give Jon the right to show off his newly founded relationship with girlfriend (house keeper) with his children watching in the background.
Jon needs to grow up and grab the reality that until this Divorce is over he should stay low profile for the respect of his 8 children and do this thing right..he never was the one who could do things the right way his Mother plays a huge part in his life and direct discisions. I totally feel if TLC carries Kate plus 8 on thru their newly signed contract it would give Mothers a whole new propective on taking care of your children without having a Father image and still keep the children balanced, especially while the kids are still mentally building their relationships with life, most children have not got it as good as the Gosselin children have it, so this is a good oppurtunity to expand their awareness, Afterall it's not Kate that had the affair it was Jon who separated the Lve between the two..FIVE STARS for KATE PLUS 8

By themeeker

Please AOL! Please Popeater! Please make this fool go away. He's lowering the standards of our country too much.

I don't believe the story the Nannies telling. Their is no proof but her word. I've never been team Kate, I think she gave up her marriage for money and fame plain and simple. I watched their show at the beginning and I would of left her along time before Jon did. She was controlling,nasty,a bully and will say it's all for the kids but still is looking for a talk show and parades in her bikini. Get real!! Jon hasn't made the best decisions but it was Kate who didn't want to go for counseling to save there marriage. It's always been and will always be about her. Please no more on either one I'm so sick of hearing there names and seeing there faces.

The responses from PopEater were disgusting. Ten bucks says the one from PopEater is a pimple faced teenager.

By buckeyefanatic68

the divorce is not final yet which means he is having an affair.how disgusting that he would carry on like this with his kids so close by. & another thing why is he staying in the garage? there is no way he could hear the kids if something happened.is this the same babysitter that caused Kate to rush there & try to get into the house & the cops were called to escort Kate off the premise? if so I guess the "mommy radar" was right on!

By Renee

What if there was a fire in the main house and he doesn't notice or can't get to the kids because he's doing the nanny?! & does that make her a prostitute cause she's getting paid to be there and not really doing the 'job' she was hired for!

By samantha

I normally wouldn't condone disparaging somebody, or speaking to them in a condescending manner. However, there are exceptions to every rule.

I honestly believe that Jon is borderline retarded, or has an abysmally low IQ. He's a vertiable dolt, so I can understand Kate losing her patience with him. He's basically an overgrown child himself, with a scintilla of intelligence above and beyond what his kids have. Plus he's lazy, fat, ugly and incompetent. The guy can't do anything right.

I got to hand it to Kate. If faced with the prospect of having sex with Jon, I would seriously be on the verge of vomiting. He's a true double-bagger! As a matter of fact, he's one of the most physically repulsive men I've had the misfortune of ever laying eyes on. Remind again what any of these women see in him?
