Jon's Pals: 'Kate Will Never Take Responsibility'

By Rob Shuter Posted Dec 2nd 2010 08:50AM

After Kate Gosselin sat down with Meredith Vieira on NBC's 'Today' show on Wednesday and swore that her children were not expelled from school and that her ex-husband lied when he said he apologized to her for his past behavior, Jon's friends are fighting back, telling me people shouldn't believe a word Kate says.

"She's in even more denial than Dina Lohan," a friend of Jon's tells me, nodding to Dina's similar visit to 'Today' last month. "Kate takes shots at Jon on national TV but will never take any personal responsibility for the mess this family is in. It's like everything that went wrong was all Jon's fault and had nothing to do with her."

During the 'Today' interview, Kate disputed Jon's tweet last month that he has "apologized to Kate" for messing up in the past.

"I have never personally been apologized to," Kate said. "I don't personally consider an interview on TV or a tabloid as an apology, unfortunately. But I have strangely and ironically forgiven him for the sake of my kids."

One TV insider I spoke to believes Kate is being a tad hypocritical when she claims her children's problems are a private matter, while at the same time promoting a TV show centered on the children.

"She wants it both ways. It's time she stopped blaming others, including Jon, and started looking in the mirror," my source says. "It's heartbreaking."

What do you think: would Kate be better off spending more time at home rather than rushing to NYC to do press interviews?

I do NOT watch this show. It's the best way to get Kate and her litter OFF the TV! STOP WATCHING!! That's all we as a society has to do. No profits for TLC, no money for the money hungry Mama, and they are all soon forgotten about.

With all the pains in this world of unemployment, people losing their homes, our goverment, and the rest of the uphevel in our world...does this so called family really count??? NO!!NO!!NO!!

These kids don't have a chance .. Collin and Alexis the two children that had to leave school are the two children that were the closest to Jon . They clung to him all the time . Now Daddy is gone and Mommy is gone half the time and a control freak when she is at home ..Kate's brother said these children were being emotionally abused . And I believe it .

I Kate needs to be kicked of TLC because of her actions. Now lets see if Kate would ever apologize to Jon. Im sure she won't since none of the problems where hers. She was perfect little Kate.

She needs a body guard to keep the public from smacking her. Does she know how people feel about her? I personally can't stand her period. You don't treat your husband and children like that.....

Are you kidding me?? Jon-boy agreed to allowing his children to be the center of a TV show...ALSO. The only reason he all of a sudden changed his mind, is that he is no longer getting the pay check he was getting BECAUSE of those same kids.
Grow up Jon-boy (the 9th child) and get a job that can support your family or stop whining!! Don't you think it's time to put on your big boy pants????

By Lori

One more thing, I use Parental Controls on any Show this person is on, or any show she will ever be on.
All her screaming in past episodes I had to change the channel to not frighten my kids. Show was such a nice show, till Haggitha came out.

By KM

I think she and her ex are horrible parents. It seems she has gotten more and more snobby. Ever since that show has been on the air she has had all kinds of nice people help them out. A plastic surgeons wife felt sorry for her and I beleive performed a tummy tuck on her. They have used those kids for everything they could. I have no repect for any of these people who expose their kids for profit. She though, has pushed the envelope. Shame on TLC for keeping this show going.

By NanaJoan

Kate is only doing what thousands of other Single Parents are doing - she is supporting her children by herself. I applaud what she is doing in providing for her children. Kate has kept her personal life private and is not out in the public eye acting like an oversexed nymph like Jon did. Give her credit where credit is due and quite being so jealous of the fact that she is a very attractive woman raising 8 kids on her own and doing a good job.

By joan

Please tell me why anyone gives a flying fig about anything Kate Gosslein says or does and is given any type of publicity? All this woman is, is a sad star wannabe who is exploiting her life and her children just to stay in the news. I think she needs psychiatric help and those children need to be with someone who truly cares about them, not herself.... She is truly a disgusting insensitive user of a person.

By Leslie

She should grow up.

By brenda

I saw Ship Kate and Sara Palin off the Alaska and give Jon the kids and get them off the tv,,,,,,,

By B. Taylor

Can't say I find either one especially likeable but thus far Kate hasn't been photo'd making an arse out herself with the opposite sex. She's the breadwinner and seems to enjoy what she does. Jon take the jerk award, hands down. And so what if a couple of her kids got a little unruly (if you're to believe the stories) in school? I've only one child and he's trying to put me in an early grave! Can't imagine have eight, even if I did have nannies out the wazoo.

By Glo76

Why do people keep saying, how is she suppose to provide for 8 kids? A nursing job will not cut it... Well how were they supporting the kids before the circus show aired? Im sure Jon had a job and Kate was also working. So lets go back to our jobs people!! But, of course not exploiting the kids is an easier job!

By JK

Honestly, Kate needs to grow up.......she treated Jon like a dog, what do you expect the man to do?? And Kate exploits those kids every time she goes on TV, she says it is to support them, then why has her lifestyle changed, she thinks she is a Hollywood Diva......give me a break people.......Kate is an extremely selfish spoiled brat that needs to wake up and be accountable.....Over it!! Dont feel one bit sorry for her.

how many puppies do u have in ur litter nanajoan

By John Lori

Why does anyone care at all what Jon and Kate do? Shame on The Today show for even given her air time. Move on!

By Lee

What makes this egomaniac a "celebrity"? Does she even interact with her kids if there isn't a camera in sight? Everything she does is self-serving and for show. Dancing with the Stars??? In what world is this woman a star? Why is anyone even offering to interview her? She's old news. Her 15 minutes are WAY over. Enough. On to the next pseudo-celebrity.

By MK

I think that Jon and Kate are both equally at fault for their marriage failing. Kate was wrong about a lot of things, as well as Jon. They both need to get over it, move on, and take care of their children. They are never going to agree, and never decide on "who's fault it was". Their children are what is important and the public bickering on TV shows and interviews is damaging them. Their children aren't deaf or blind, they see these interviews just like the rest of the world. It's time for the both of them to grow up and get over it. It takes two people to make a marriage and two people to break one.
