Jon Gosselin Sues TLC for $5 Million

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 13th 2009 12:20PM

'Jon & Kate Plus 8' star Jon Gosselin has filed a $5 million lawsuit against TLC, the network that produces the show, PEOPLE reports.

Gosselin believes TLC has damaged his reputation and is preventing him from finding work elsewhere, according to PEOPLE.

"Their behavior has caused Jon great anguish and it has caused him financial losses," his attorney Mark Heller says.

Heller claims that Gosselin did not have a lawyer present when he signed the contract with the network for the show. "They had a cadre of lawyers so they had a one-sided agreement," he explains.

TLC has also sued the father of eight for breach of contract.

Whatever happened to taking person responsibility?! Jon signs a contract without hiring a lawer? That's on him...idot!

PLEEZE.. enough about Jon! If he is stupid enough to sign a contract without a lawyer then who's fault is that? Just because the network had a ton of them just means that they had more sense than this moron. Ok, so let me see who I can sue for my OWN stupidity!!! Go away, Jon. You ruined your own reputation. Doesn't look like you needed any help with this.

I think John has ruined his reputation all on his own.

"Gosselin did not have a lawyer present when he signed the contract with the network for the show. "They had a cadre of lawyers so they had a one-sided agreement," he explains." - DUHHHH - not having his own lawyer there before singing a major contract like this????????

Maybe Jon should of thought of that before he exploited he, his assinine wife, and his poor children on Cable TV. I've never heard of anything as ridiculous as this.

I GUESS LAWSUITS ARE THE ONLY WAY THIS LOSER CAN EARN A LIVING!!!
HOW SAD FOR HIS CHILDREN....GET A JOB INSTEAD OF SPONGING OFF YOUR KIDS AND HAILEY'S PARENTS!!

EVEN HAILEY CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS LOSER.

Jon damaged his own reputation. Shame you now blame someone else cause your 15 minutes of fame are over and the public is sick of you so you cannot market yourself.
