Jon Gosselin and his lawyer Mark Heller appeared on 'Larry King Live' to give their side of the story on why the father of eight moved to stop production on the reality show 'Kate Plus 8,' claiming TLC is exploiting the sextuplets and twins.
King played a video of Gosselin explaining that the kids liked the cameras, allowing Jon to respond. "I can make mistakes as well, and you know, I do regret it," he said of telling the paparazzi that his children enjoyed being filmed.
"This has been a media explosion. I've been on the cover of magazines since January. It's just crazy, I want the fodder to stop. And I want Kate and I to mediate, I want us to become friends, I want us to figure out our marriage and I don't want to be filmed anymore and I don't want the kids involved."
"I don't get along with the people of TLC," Jon responded when asked by King.
"I've been talking about pulling the plug on this program ever since I became council," Heller told King, citing contractual agreements that leave the kids without compensation.
Those who disapprove of Jon's behavior know very little about men. Da...of course he went to find a women who can treat him like a man; what can you expect! I too feel bad for the kids but believe me that they will grow up and they will understand. Divorce is nothing new and many kids survive it...they are very resilient..that's just life. Kate appears to be the innocent one in this and I do support her as a mother, but as a wife, she is hidding things and eventually the truth will come out; she should be honest and admit it--that security guard. So typical that she would let all the blame fall on Jon and almost got away with the Kate + 8 (as if she had sole rights) she almost got away with it and why would she think she wouldn't...after all, she's been successful in the past. It only shows how little SHE knows about men; this is a rude awakening for her and a hard lesson for challenging the opposite sex to the level that she has...they are men.This is what happens in a divorce and Jon is right...it should not occur in the media and the kids....this is for adults and he has the right to protect them as a father. Everybody suffers that is inevitable. Keep on doing what you are doing bro!
Have you been even watching the news. Jon has said he despises Kate. He has been flaunting Hailey as the love of his life. He smokes around his kids and had an affair in the house with the kids sleeping. Nothing was ever proven about Kate and the guard. If he wanted all this as he said, why do it as soon as he is dropped from TLC? Hasn't Kate and the kids been through enough? Kate I wish you all the best, and the kids. Jon dug his own grave.
this guy for one has been cheating with the baby setter and also only god knows who else for a long time.now he has more than one girl friend.he has been going to this pub when he was with kate and flirting with other women.when he should of been home with his wife helping her.all he is doing is making these bad for kate and thinking of his self.get ready to pay child support jon
Thank you John for finally putting a stop to this train wreck. Kate drove this marriage into the ditch. But as always she blame you and takes no responsiblity for her pat in it. she is a bully!!! i watch the show in the beginning, I saw what she was doing to you. How she belittled you on national TV. But you were to much of a gentlemen to make her look like the fool she so enjy making you look like. I am glad you are back with your mother & brothers. The fact that you never see grandparents or family inter act on this show speaks volumes for kate being a loser. John has make some mistakes, he just was not sneakie about his mistake. Kate says she is taking the high road...stop trying to insult our intelligents kate, we have seen though you for a very long time. tummy tucks, boob jobs, botox does not make a mother. you ae not a single mother doing the job yourself. you have nannies that do everything for you, you have body guards, Real single moms of american do not have this. what make you think you can teach anybody anything. I have 5 children, 6 G-children, lost a son to cancer age 6, husband had heart transplant and then died of cancer. married 44 yrs, have done way more then you have even thought about doing, and did it with diginity.You could take a few lesson on how to treat a man, and raising kids. You are a phoney....any show you are on will have low ratings. Paula Deen is crazy to get involved with you......it will ruin her name and just be another one of your train wrecks..,,
Jon is just made that he won' be making as much money any more. While he was on the show everything was fine and he did not care if his kids were used because it allowed him to live the life he wanted. Did not really have to work, could by himself expensive toys, got a nice house, go trips around the world. Now that he will not be on the show as much it is a problem. Kate is not the one that has been sleeping around and being photographed with different people. And if she is she has enough sense to keep it private and not put it on display for the world. Jon is just being selfish right now. Cuz being on the show allowed him to live a very good life and now he is taking that away from his kids. He can't give his kids all that they can get by continuing the show so in the end the kids always suffer. It a shame that they suffer cuz their dad is selfish.
He sure as hell wasnt worried about the kids when he was getting a fat paycheck. Now that Kate is well rid of him and he is off the show, he is whining about the kids being in the spotlight. He is just worried about his ownself, and he is mad because they cut his sorry ass out of the show. He needs to stay out of it and go on with his sorry bimbos.
kate keeps saying she is doing this for her kids , you know what, get a job there are better ways to make a living , but this is the easy way , get on television ,get paid and thats it , i remember at the end of last season when they did that end of the show talk thing , jon said he didn't want to do it , and kate said , oh i don't know i do, so this is something he wanted stopped long ago
Actually, for Jon & Kate I really think for them it is all about money and not the kids. They are equally greedy, selfish and cruel and I truly question both parties' ability to parent. They are a symptom of what is going on in America today-greed and infidelity. Since when did cheating on your spouse of whom you have taken sacred vows "make a man?" or "make a woman?" Face it, if an adult cannot keep their vows what kind of life skills are they teaching their children? Giving a man the out of saying "Oh well, he's just being a man." is in effect giving him permission to be weak. A man's word is his bond and so it should be with woman as well.
Jon is the one who started his crap with the show he was on saying he just wants to be Jon Not jon and Kate plus eight.He is the one who put his children though all the girls and etc hes doing now.At least Kate is protecting them.When they grow up they should blame him for all hes put them through.Kate is a good mother and looking out for the best for the children and their future Jon only wants the money.It seems to me when he has the children one of them is always getting hurt.I think they should look into his actions more.Are they safe with him!!!!!!!!
The key word here is men....Jon gosselin is no man. Areal man would not have walked out on his family to start with. He would have stayed and tried to work things out with his wife. At the first sign of trouble what did he do? SPLIT! Kate had to tell hime his next move all the time. Do you not think that this got old for her? She wanted a husband and father for their children that was her equal, not one more immature child to take care of. Jon is the blame for all of this. His antics in the past months show how immature he really is. This stuped baboon needs to grow up and honestly put his kids first. Not his greed.
He sure seems to like that nice house, Harley Davidson, going to visit the Ed Hardy designer on his boat in France, hanging in the Hamptons. How did he think he was able to pay for all of that? Hmmm...let's see...he doesn't have a job. Kate has written 3 books and goes on the speaking circuit and they have the show. I am not excusing anyone's bad behavior. Kate shouldn't be so snarky and Jon needed to be an adult. Someone had to be the adult and make sure things got done so looks like Kate did that. I don't care if you lost your 20's because you got married and had 8 kids. Man up! You are an adult not a college frat boy. And you keep apologizing for acting like an idiot. So stop acting like an idiot. To say you love your kids and when it is your turn for custody to go and leave them with a nanny who claims to be sleeping with you. Nice. Start thinking before you act. If you have been tailed by the paparazzi for 9 months...then you have had plenty of time to figure out how to not be an idiot in front of them. Kate has managed to figure it out. Obviously she is the brains of the operation.
Any woman who wants Jon Gosselin, isn't a woman worth having in the first place. He is a poor excuse for a man, who is just upset at the loss of income which allows him to hang with celebs. The perfect word to describe Jon Gosselin is "YUCK".
Sure, kids survive divorce....only because they have no choice. Here's the lag time fall out of "surviving": Children of divorce are 4 times more likely to be divorced themselves. Same as children of adulterers are likely to become adulterers themselves, (or marry one), and children of abusers are likely to become abusers themselves (or marry one). You think malignant narcissism is bad now? Just wait for the next generation's pending lack of feelings for anyone but themselves due to this divorce and selfishness epidemic. Your statements are flip and illustrate perfectly why our culture is in such a selfish state. Evil thrives when good people have attitudes like yours.
