Jon Gosselin Returns Money, Still Claims Kate Hasn't
Posted Monday 26 October 11:30 AM By: PopEater Staff
Jon Gosselin has paid back $230,000 he took from the joint bank account he shares with estranged wife
Kate Gosselin, but still says Kate hasn't accounted for $33,000 she spent,
Usmagazine.com reports.
"We have all the representation we need. All we need is Kate's participation and Kate to stop crying on TV," Jon's lawyer
Mark Heller said outside the courtroom, criticizing Mrs. Gosselin for not attending the hearing.
However, Kate's lawyer claims that she doesn't have to account for that missing money. "It's fully compliant," Cheryl Young said,
PEOPLE reports.
For his part, Jon is "optimistic" about the proceedings -- although he's still without an attorney. (Heller is not licensed to practice in Pennsylvania where the hearings are taking place.)
"I'll just get another attorney. I have to," he told PEOPLE after Charlie Meyer resigned again.
The case has now been left to arbitrators and a two-day conference has been scheduled for next month.
After the hearing, Kate's attorneys released a statemen,
TMZ reports.
"We are clearly pleased that the monies taken by Mr. Gosselin have been returned to the marital account, and we look forward to recouping additional monies taken by Mr. Gosselin at the time of the parties' private arbitration hearings," it read.
"A total of at least $235,000 was taken by Mr. Gosselin, and despite his initial comments denying responsibility, we have established that Ms. Gosselin needed emergency relief to prevent her economic claims from being compromised."

Why would Kate have to replace any money? She's MOTHERING the kids. FEEDING the kids, cooking, cleaning, caring...HEY JON, WHAT DO YOU DO? Get a job, before AMERICA has to pick up the tab. You worthless piece of flesh!

Oh Carole. Ye of small brain. Don't you watch, don't you read. When Kate is off (as she is many, many times) to the spa, to get her hair done, to shop, to go to the store and no wheree in sight are her kids? Why? BEcause she LEAVES them with NANNIES!!! So give us all a break with how hard she toils for her kids. HA! When my kids were young I never had time to do any of this stuff, especially by myself. I'm sure there are plenty of mothers who would agree. Let alone enough time to exercise or do I dare say...get plastic surgery. Kate needs to stop whinning like one of her kids.The same with all you scorned single/divorced mothers. Kates not hurting in the same way you all were. Far from it!

No no no, dear--*I* am "mothering". Kate is out doing whatever she pleases, leaving her children in the care of others. I am homeschooling, raising six kids to be responsible adults, feeding them healthy homecooked meals every day (on about 1/4 the money of what Kate was crying about!), dealing with three who have special needs, etc., etc. KATE is getting plastic surgery, getting her hair and nails done, and WHINING like one of her own bratty brood! Jon might not be an ideal father, but Kate is NO mother.

Carole, are you seriously kidding???? MOTHERING?? Is that what you call what Kate is doing? That must be a post modern kind of mothering she's doing instead of the old fashioned kind that I was raised on. Cooking, cleaning, caring for the kids?? HA. She's got people doing that for her while she's out going to the spa, doing her hair,nails tummy tucks or whatever she's having done this week. As for caring? The only thing she cares about are what kind of perks and bonuses she's going to get in her next contract w/ TLC. Kudos to Jon for putting a stop to his kids being in front of the cameras on that show. He may not be the best father out there but at least he's got his kids' well being in mind in that apect.

Why doesn't Kate get a job? The kids are in school all day and there's no reason why she can't get a job right along with Jon so America doesn't have to pick up the tab. And if she spent the $30,000 on the kids, then she should have no problem coming up with receipts to prove what she did with it. Maybe if she'd grow a garden on their oversized house, she would'nt spend so much at the grocery store. I watch an episode of Supernanny yesterday with a single mom of 5 kids, which included a 7 year old, 5 yr old twin boys, and 4 yr old twin boys. She was also going to school at night and raising these kids on her own. Maybe Kate should call her and ask her how to do it on a budget. Which would mean no more stylists, manicures, tanning sessions, hired help, publicist, etc. She is just as bad as Jon.

Carole, what planet are you living on. Kate does NONE of those things...she has hired help to watch the kids, clean the house, and even a personal chef. Maybe if she'd stay home once in a blue moon, she could save some of that money she so "desperately" needs. She is a self-absorbed diva who cares about nothing but herself and her "bodyguard." Jon is the one who has provided the majority of the care for those children while she's out flitting around. She is no role model in any form or fashion. TLC is despicably duplicitous in this situation. Get that media whore OFF THE AIR!!!

sister, calm down. yes, poor Kate is feeding and clothing those sweet little kids... all while looking in the mirror at herself...... finding that perfect expression for the next close-up.... "wha wha poor poor me..... I can't hardly pay the bills..." Kate is a whore. Jon is a LOSER.... they both deserve each other!

I really agree with you. Alot of people are jealous Kate gets to experience the lavish lifestyle. And for everyones info Kate does work.

I tink you are wrong. Kate has always treated Jon like he was her child not her husband. She has humiliated him many times in front of the children and in public, she is a wortheless piece of crap. Any woman can have a baby but that doesn't mean your a mother so to all of you kate fans it's bologna. And another thing Jon is a IT analayst research it and do your math kate would not be living in them houses if it wasn't for Jon's salary do the research. She is a sorry and poor excuse as a woman and a so called mother.

Carole-
you have it right. Kate takes care of her kids. All these claims about spas, and plastic surgery are unsubstantiated (except for the necessary tummy tuck, which was admitted to right after the babies were born). People forget that Jon hired a PR firm to plant all these stories in tabloids and message boards like these.
Kate's traveling was for business and was in the last year. Jon's travels were for himself and spent money, didn't earn it.
Kate never had an affair with the bodyguard. Jon had three affairs in short succession till Halley told him he couldn't anymore.
Kate had nannies when the kids were infants. They were necessary and didn't detract from Kate's mothering at all. Kate doesn't have nannies now, Jon kept screwing them.
When you separate the allegations from the facts, Jon's behaved very badly and Kate's been pretty classy...and a good Mom.

I am not taking either side here, but come on Kate taking care of the kids...not.... she has sitters that takes care of the children, they both need to grow up as far as I am concerned and while she should or should not replace the money that she took, she should have to account for it.

You have got to be joking, Kate treated Jon like a dog, always barking orders, instead of GETTING OFF HER A** AND DO IT HERSELF... Sorry but if I treated my husband the way she did in public, you can bet ur sweet a** we would NOT be married NOW. Jon got tired of her crap and left, I do NOT condone cheating but I also do not blame him for leaving this self righteous B*tch.. Get a clue Kate fans, watch some of the older episodes, do this do that, glad Jon is home, HE was the one giving baths, diaper changes in the morning before work, etc.. He even brought her coffee, and SHE would NOT GET OUT OF BED BEFORE 8AM!!!! when u have kids u gotta suck it up, its no longer about YOU!!!! kids are up get ur a** up and tend to them!!! Now watch some of the newer episodes, boo-freakin hoo, sorry KATE UR NOT THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS PLANET THAT IS DIVORCED WITH KIDS, you should count ur blessings with ur children and the ones in the bank.. get off ur high horse, We the fools of America have helped you get rich and live in a beautiful home, and take lavish vacations, AND days off to the spa, hair and nails each week, ur fortunate to have all that, Stop ur whining GET A REAL JOB, maybe take a class or something on how to treat people with respect and maybe just maybe you will be able to find a man... Enjoy YOUR spoils and quit ur pathetic whining!!!!

Carole, me thinks you've been played. If you have followed the show for the time it's been on tv, ask yourself when you have ever seen Kate play the victim. When has she ever been less than aggressive in getting what she wants. I'm not saying that Jon is any prize, but Kate is playing this situation like a violin. The times I've seen her all weepy on television recounting how difficult it's been for her makes me want to puke. She's gonna get what she wants and doesn't care who she has to mow over in the process. She does travel alot, promoting herself through using the kids and, truthfully, the current situation. She now has another card to play...the abandoned, forsaken wife. Give me a break!!! She is not a homemaker and definitely relinquishes care of the kids to pursue her own agenda. Wake up and smell the coffee!!

I couldn't agree more. If she is supporting the kids and not buying crap for her self then she deserves all the money. Jon I am a father myself, my kids are all but grown now. Real man take care of thier kids, Jon your no man .

Jeez Janet, do you judge much? Why don't you get off your high horse. Sorry your hair looks like crap and you're fat cause you don't have time to exercise. Let's go back to the original comment. Kate's paying for everything. Do you think Jon is paying the Nannies? The woman's got 8 kids that she's now raising alone and pretty much has been for the entire time. I think she deserves to do something for herself. I mean come on do you really expect her to sit at home all day with 8 kids. If she did she'd be just as bitter as YOU!

Wah, wah, wah, stop crying all over TV, Kate! Yes, she's taking care of the kids...with help. She's not the super mom everyone gives her credit for! If she were, she wouldn't have time to go to do her hair, shop for good clothes and did anyone see the shoes she was wearing on the wah, wah, wah TV appearance to announce she had bills in her purse she could not pay...did anyone see them? Doea anyone really believe that? Please! I'm not for Jon either, but I really hate a woman who willingly had all those kids and who cries "foul play" after things don't go the way they want.

I have watched the show from the BEGINNING and have always said that if my husband was as INEPT as Jon and I had 8 small children, I would bark orders too. There were MANY times that Jon was also snippy to her. I have nothing but respect for Kate! It appalls me that many readers have said that she is not "mothering" simply because she has outside help. Kate has joint custody & is trying to maintain the lifestyle that her kids have become accustomed to by promoting herself with The View, etc. And what is frickin' wrong with going to the spa and looking your best? Does that make someone a bad mother? Jeez. Kate is constantly in the public eye and even if she were not, there is nothing wrong with wanting to take care of yourself. Jon disgusts me. He's had 4 affairs and Hailey was arrested for drugs just a few years ago. And THIS is the woman who will be around the children??? Also, let's not forget the $27,000 ring and $79,000 Porsche he bought his mistress.
