Jon Gosselin Will Let Kids Film Again... Only If TLC Drops Lawsuit

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 5th 2010 08:00AM

Jon Gosselin is hoping to use his children to bargain with TLC. He has agreed to let TLC film his children again -- only if the network drops its lawsuit against him, RadarOnline.com reports. Last year, TLC had a breach of contract claim against him and won a preliminary injunction, prohibiting him from engaging in media appearances. But even if TLC lifts the ban, don't expect him to make a 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' comeback. "You can be sure that if the kids come back to TLC it will be only with Kate, not with Jon. And there's no guarantee that will happen either," a source said.

A judge ruled in December that Gosselin has been restricted from making money off his reality TV fame and is no longer receiving a TLC paycheck. His trial is scheduled to being in the Spring.

"Photos of Jon Gosselin with scores of bikini-clad women was inconsistent with our image brand of our show,"TLC Chief Operating Office Edward Sabin said in court.

Afterward, TLC issued this statement. "The Court has validated our view that Mr. Gosselin has a valid, binding contract and that he has breached it repeatedly. Step one – getting the court to order Mr. Gosselin to comply with his contractual obligations – has been accomplished. Any further breaches going forward will be violations of a court order. We look forward to the next phase of the litigation, which is to pursue our claim for damages resulting from Mr. Gosselin's numerous breaches."

But Gosselin's attorney Mark Heller trevealed, "You haven't seen the last of Jon Gosselin."

This news comes just one day after Kate Gosselin announced she would be co-hosting 'The View' again next month and be embarking on her new reality show later this year.

Agreed - I miss seeing the kids and how they and their mom adapted, changed and grew. A few "special" visits would be great.

Jon why would you want to drop the lawsuit. Did you finally realize your were WRONG?

By HELEN

THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPIER THAN JON GOSSELIN LOSING HIS FIGHT WITH TLC IS TO SEE HIM IN JAIL.

By joan

Sheesh, this guy has silver dollars for eyeballs, greed running through his veins, and a brain stuck on 'stupid'.

By I'mJustSayin'

It's amazing how parents will "sell" their children to save their own backsides! Leave those children to private and normal lives. They have worked long enough.

By NotA JonBoyFan

OMG ... GOOD GRIEF. Anything to get back in the press. SAD SUCKER!!!

By ABM

Who is Jon Gosselin? I've never heard of him.

By Barb

Please don't start filming the kids again. They probably are just getting to a normal life (if you call it a normal life without a mother and dad). These two have exploited these kids enough. Keep them off tv.

By ASHLEY

NOW HE NEEDS THE KIDS TO WORK...ISN'T HE AN ENGINEER?? IF SO HE CAN EARN A GOOD SALARY (SIX FIGURES), BEING ONE OVERSEAS. BUT NO HE WANTS THE SPOTLIGHT AGAIN. HE IS USED TO THE LIGHTS CAMERA..ACTION.

I'm confused i thought he didnt want his kids filmed because he felt it was detrimental to their mental health and development! He even had experts talking about how this could potientially affect the children since his ex wife was "so irresponsible and only cared about fame" Now hes willing to give the go ahead just so he can get out of a lawsuit? And the king of the d bags goes to......

By What a DUMBASS

What a DUMBASS. He's waited just long enough for the public interest in his family's series to die (way to kill the golden goose, DUMBASS), now he's playing legal games to avoid a lawsuit. TLC should drop the lawsuit against him, resurrect the series (if possible), not pay him a dime and THEN sue him again.

We need to thin the herd a little; he needs to be off'd...

I agree with you a million percent.

TLC STAY PUT WE WANT TO SEE THIS SUCKER SWEAT

Hair plugs and hair extentions should not make a person famous, Have we sunk so low as a society to grant more money to these sycophants. Who the hell cares?

They are both losers and lousy parents. Both, Jon and Kate, are seeing dollars signs, that's it.
And you can bet Kate will be filming as soon as she can; cuz we all know the kids are missing it. No, it's Kate is missing the money and the kids are just her cash cow.
How despicable...

Wow, this dude is an a hole...wtf is up with using your kids to get out of being sued? Geez, its your fault you were sued, deal with the consequences, grow up, and stop using your children!

By junieb

I was hoping that we had heard the last from both of them! The silence has been wonderful. They both need to go away for good

By Karen

While I loved watching Kate and the kid's, I hope TLC doesn't drop their law suit against him. It will always be a never ending problem, as long as Jon has any say and he will until their 18.

He's so disgusting using his kid's like that to benefit what suits him at the time! He's always acted like a kid. Grow up already!!!

By Gail

I think they both use the kids to get the cash. I don't think Kate should be on TV anymore either. Wasn't she a nurse? Doesn't make enough nursing for the lifestyle she's gotten used to. I won't watch The View when she's on or any other show with her.

By cheryl

He is such a loser....
