Please note that this post was originally written in 2008. I don't have any interest in this topic today.
I watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 all the time, but I have to admit as time goes on I have began to really dislike Kate Gosselin and the show.
1. First and foremost Kate expects everything to be given to them for free, and though she gets everything, she acts completely ungrateful.
2. Kate kicks Aunt Jodie off the show because she doesn't want her getting paid for her appearances. Kate is only happy when she's the one getting paid.
3. Kate's fertility issues are a bit sketchy. Having PCOS myself and been through multiple fertility treatments, it's a topic I know a bit about. No reputable Dr. would have proceed with an IUI without proper monitoring.
4. Pretends to eat only organic food when it's obvious she doesn't.
5. Seriously needs to get on medication for her OCD.
6. Claims the children have no colleges funds set up on their website; however the Governor of Pennsylvania gifted this back in 2005.
8. Shows favoritism to the girls.
9. Who doesn't let their kids eat the cupcakes they made for their birthday?
10. Charging $20 cash at their appearances for autographed pictures. This is in addition to the "Love Offerings" that are collected and the $25,000 appearance fee they require to speak at churches and other events.
11. Treats Jon like he is a child.
12. Complains about cleanliness but leaves pee in the potty chairs all over the house.
13. Has made comments like, "society has a responsibility to help with the children, since modern medicine promotes the use of fertility drugs, which can lead to multiple births".
Get ready for next season when Jon and Kate renew their vows in Hawaii and move into their million dollar home.
Edited to add: I do not fault the Gosselins for accepting freebies and getting paid gigs, my #1 complaint is Kate's attitude and ungratefulness that has resulted from this. It seems now she has come to expect everything and gives off an "I'm better than you" attitude.

OMG STOP EATING!!! WHAT LANGUAGE AM I SPEAKING.....I wanted to scream SHUT UP back at her....I know they weren't organic strawberries cause you have to take what you can get..eye roll!
I hate her too but it is like a train wreak...I can't stop watching! And in some really weird strange I may need therapy way I really like the plus 8 of the Jon and Kate.
Janna
Well, I've not enough energy to hate the woman but boy, oh, boy does she ever annoy me. I question her not only her POCS but a lot of her other diagnosis she gives herself and the children.
I can't stand the show anymore. I guess something fundamental changed with the gum on the teddy, or Joel being sick and banished to the laundry room or somewhere amongst those incidents along with the watch Kate shop for clothes, watch Kate go to the spa, watch Kate scream at Jon, watch Kate call her sons icky, watch Kate get a fancy dinner out, watch Kate, Kate, Kate. What was this show supposed to be about again? What challenges of raising two sets of multiples do we see. Doesn't look like they lack for anything other then sanity.

Yea, I have been seeing the hate blog going on that Jodi's sister started, but I just quit reading it cause I really do enjoy the show.
I like watching it in front of hubbs so he knows how good he has it LOL with not a bossy wife ;).

Hi, I just wanted to elaborate a little. I respectfully disagree that Kate treats Jon as a child, because that implies that Kate would treat Jon with some mothering kindness. No, Kate treats Jon like total garbage. She shows no respect for him, corrects everything he says, commands him when to cough, breathe, eat (or not), criticizes him about his weight, complains as if he does nothing for her. It is totally unbelievable to me that Kate gets by with treating this man like he is a worthless human being, when it is Jon that does the bulk of the work at the Gosselin house and it is Jon that is the only hope for showing real love and kindness towards those children.
Just wanted to share my two cents worth because I feel so strongly about this issue and I totally hate Kate for treating this good man like a dog.
Jenny
I thought I was the only one who felt this way! I haven't watched many of these shows, because I think her attitude stinks. Not that I am always a little ray of sunshine, but come on. SHE got herself into this mess of having eight kids. Now people are jumping to her aid as though it was some kind of natural disaster, and she still finds things to complain about!
The one thing that really bothered me was when they first sent a maid to clean for her. When the maid finished and left, Kate went around the house looking for things she hadn't cleaned. She found a bit of dust and lint under the hamper and had the gall to complain that she was "disappointed" because she thought the maid would do a good job, and then she was sloppy. Hello, first of all it was free. Second, a maid is not going to be able to clean up a mess you spent months making in just a few hours. Clean it yourself if you're so perfect.
Ashli
Kate is a sociopathic moron. I think she and her proper english are like nails on a chalkboard.
I'm waiting for the tell all books that the children write when they are grown and always on the look out for the episode where jon grows balls and leaves her!
Karla
I can no longer stand to watch this show. Kate mistreats Jon every chance she gets, why he takes it I'll never know. I admire his commitment to his children, but he doesn't deserve the abuse Kate gives him. She is always standing around, hands on her hips, giving orders, dictating. There are many times she is standing right in front of something she doesn't like, and screams at Jon for not taking care of it. She has fits about things she should be responsible for. Once while the kids were getting swim lessons, Kate walked around the pool shouting orders, when one of the kids went under water she freaked, told Jon not to let it happen again. He was in the pool playing with the kids, she was standing right there. Did she jump in? No, just complained about Jon, again. That poor guy, he really needs to Man-Up. Those kids are going to have a warped sense of reality.
angel
Wow!! I totally agree with everything you said! I have never made a post before...anywhere about Kate because SO many people are truly blinded by this PHONY CHRISTIAN and they get brutal with anyone who doesn't worship the ground this selfish woman walks on!!
I used to feel sorry for Jon, but not anymore. Any man who puts up with that treatment and chooses to do nothing about it is just asking for it! He needs to grow a set and show her he is a man not a child!
Then again, maybe he likes the free cash as much as she does and chooses to remain quiet and "plays" the part to keep the gravy train rolling. He must condone it all to some degree, b/c I don't see him putting his foot down and stopping any of the non-sense. He seems to be okay with charging CHURCHES 25,000 dollars a pop....how wrong is that?!
The show was cute in the beginning...it was real. It showed the REAL struggles of a family in their situation. NOW, it is so staged and fake and unrealistic. All they do is travel, and spend TLC's money. Kate has a personal assistant for her errands, an organic chef to do the cooking, a lawn care person, hired nannies, maids to do all the cleaning and a plethera of other people to do her bidding. I wouldn't call that the "normal struggles of everyday life of a mother of 8".
The show is no longer about the REAL LIFE struggles and daily tribulations of a family with 8 kids, rather, it is a show about putting a group of kids on display for rating to keep their pockets lined.
It would be a cold day before any child of mine was degraded to the point of having to urinate, have bowel movements, and throw up on television. That is beyond disgusting on the part of the parents!! When those poor children have accidents and it is aired for ALL to see, that is as LOW as it could possibly get!
Shame on Jon and Kate Gosselin for taking their "Blessings" and EXPLOITING them!!
And as many other anti Jon and Kate viewers have been accused of being, NO I am not at all jealous of these people. I live in a house well over 6,000 SQ.FT. and I have only 3 kids, we own our own business, and live a full happy life. So NO, there is no jealousy, just disgust. I could never do to my babies what those people do to theirs.....that is NOT love!!!
joanne macpherson
The Kate Gosselin I see on tv is not a loving parent. She frets about how her children look and not how they feel, as evidenced by the Disney trip where she screamed that her daughter was ruined for ice cream melting down her shirt. She has completely sold out her kids to satisfy her own desires for cash, free travel and hobnobbing with celebrities. The fact she has no relationship with her parents is telling. I think her children will regret how she used them.
Diana
Can someone help me out with a few questions?
Real or Rumor?
1. Kate "fired" her sister-in-law Jody
2. Kate "fired" her best friend Beth
3. Jon no longer works
4. Gosselins are moving to a million dollar home in North Carolina.
What's up with this show? This new season seems so staged; not REAL like the first few seasons. I decided to google and came across many blogs. WOW! I'm relieved to read that so many others have had the same concerns as me; especially when it comes to the kids. I certainly don't begrudge Jon and Kate the opportunity to make money to secure a future for their family. I can't imagine the cost of raising 8 kids and putting them through college. But where are their extended families? I keep hearing there is a "chasm" between them. What could have happened that caused Jon and Kate to break from both sides? And with such vehement permanance? I've also noticed that none one in this family has friends; neither Jon nor Kate, nor any of the children. Is Kate that controlling?? She's starting to come off as impervious with only her best interests at heart. A real Diva at this point. I truly feel for her children. She treats them terribly with no concern for their feelings; only that they're clean. When the kids come of age, they're going to leave home and never come back...much like Kate has done with her own family. Hmm..apple...tree. I pray for the kids to have someone in their life that doesn't demand perfection and will listen without verbal abuse in return.
Hayden
Its not enough that she treats Jon like crap, but she made him get a hair transplant? I had to change the chanel. She makes me sick. I feel sorry for her kids especially the boys. What a witch!
AmberDawn
I am shocked at how hateful you sound as a mother. Kate can be a bit of a snob at times, but YOU don't know the whole story about any of this, she eats as much organic food as she can. She has NEVER claimed she eats ALL organic. Shame on you for talking down on another mother. She is doing amazingly considering she has 8 flippin kids..are you serious? The only thing I really don't like about her is how she talks down to Jon..and she is a little OCD, but she can't help that.

Do you all not have anything better to do than to HATE on Kate? Until you have walked in her shoes, you have no room to judge!
mandiran
wow all of you are saying things about a woman that you have never met nor do you know the whole story. the author of this blog doesnt know what she is talking about. next time you go and judge someone, make sure you know what you are talking about. k thanks.
Shayshay
Just as those of you defending Kate have not walked in her shoes or know the whole story. I don't care if she has 20 kids - there is NO reason for her to belittle and verbally abuse her husband, children and anyone else unlucky enough to come into contact with her. There are many, many families with high order multiples who are not pimping out their children's dignity for the sake of the almighty dollar. The author's opinion is spot on.
Kate Gosselin gives motherhood a bad name - shame on her.
readthebook
I recently read the book Multiple Blessings and felt that it was a bit forced, seemed like they were trying to hard to weave in rationale for some of the decisions that they made in the past. I read about how they were unnappreciative of the makeover they received. I managed to find some pics of that makeover online:
http://www.interiorimagesofpa.com/nbc.php
I can't totally disagree with Kate for not liking what that makeover team did to the girls' room, or the nursery, but it does seem like she expects a lot. I don't know what my opinion is on Kate...nor if I am entitled to have one (don't judge less ye be judged) BUT I have decided that I'm going to stop watching the show....
I think the adorable, wonderful kids that they have deserve some privacy to grow up. I don't agree that they need a huge house, but I guess I can't blame them 'making hay while the sun shines'.
Tammy
Thank You!! I have been trying to find a site where I can vent onto how I cannot stand Kate Gosselin. When I first viewed the show in the beginning...I also thought it was real. I thought how hard it must be to have 8 kids that are so young.
Now...I can't even watch. And..my husband and I will not allow our 2 children to watch either. Mostly b/c of the way Kate talks to Jon. We do not talk to each other like that ( not that we're perfect). But..as a paramedic..I disagree with many things on the show. One being allowing a sick child to lay on a luandry room floor. He should be in his bed..or on the couch..somewhere other than a cold floor. That made me sick.
This family is using these kids for money. I doubt either parent works anymore. The Christian BS is out of control. I hate when Kate yells (" OH MY WORD!!"). She is all for show. And Jon needs to step up and say something. How in the world do the producer's think America is enjoying this show? It's a total train wreck! They have zero family and friends left. That poor Maddy girl is headed for BIG trouble. It just bothers me. What's gonna happen when TLC cuts the show? Everyone knows it wont be on forever. Neither of these parents work and I highly doubt that any of them will be huge movie stars. How will they afford this million dollar home when they don't have a show or jobs? Kate is downright rude to all who come in contact with her. She lie's constantly. As for the PCOS..I don't see one single sign of her having that diagnosis. I am in the medical field and Iknow what PCOS looks like...and it's NOT Kate. She had those treatments b/c she had an agenda!!! Look where it got her. She treats those kids like crap. I see NO love in that family. None. I know that if social service's was in MY HOUSE watching my kid lay on a laundry room floor sick..they'd have some serious questions for me. Maybe one day..Kate and Jon will get a reality check. Hopefully..they will. For those kids sake. This woman is crazy..and so unhappy. I've heard she has no family..no friends. My brother live's in PA where they used to live and according to him..all of PA can't stand her. I believe it, too. She's just a awful, mean, nasty mom and wife. I actually like Jon. But..I wish he'd stick up for himself. But..like alot of you said..he can't. It's his bread and butter too. Plus..he doesn't have to workl now. What I don't get is..they have someone doing everything for them...what's gonna happen when it's all over? Are they really set for life???
I think enough is enough with this family. I wish TLC would cut it and allow us to view "real" family's. With "real" problems.
Thanks for allowing me to vent. I could go on for hours...lol. I enjoy reading everyone's posts...Thanks You

You know what's really funny is if it was any of YOU idiots getting "freebies" you all would LOVE it. People want their cake & eat it, too. It's so apparent. & secondly, any of these so called "freebies" are actually NOT free. So while they're getting "freebies" they are actually WORKING, you know how that is? Because people from companies/places/parks/Disney/ & anything else like that get ADVERTISED by THEM visiting the damn place, which= WORKING. The people of the companies basically say "we would love for you to come & film a show here & in return give you guys free accomidations if you guys ADVERTISE". Are you people blind or something? & thirdly, I'd like to see some actual PROOF as to people being fired, Kate being a so called "bad parent", & them being millionaires. Once I see some PROOF I'd believe it. "ALL ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY". Stop being so hateful, jealous, & petty. I'm so happy that they have all that they do & how well they take care of their children. Forget this bashing.
TEAM JON & KATE PLUS 8 <--- A REAL FAMILY, A REAL INSPIRATION, & YES WHAT REALITY TV REALLY IS & SHOULD BE.
starla
To "La" and where is your proof? The proof that the rest of us see is smashed in our faces on the t.v. all the freakin time! I'm telling you, that woman is out for herself; and those poor children are going to be the ones to pay the price. Look towards the future and think about what happens to them when the money stops pouring in, the cameras shut down, and the cuteness wears off! Here's a hint of what we'll see: think about all of those pitiful child stars that end up screwed up....uh, can we say LINDSAY LOHAN, McCauley Culkin, etc.??? You need to wake up. I hate to tell you and bring you out of your happy place, but this type of "reality" t.v. is no reality at all.
Miha
Kate fills me with rage. She allows no joy in her home and treats everyone in her family like a burden. Ooooohhhhhh poor Kate with all your nannies and maids and free money. The way she treats Jon literally leaves me speechless. Jon must feel like he's living in hell on earth. I would divorce that psycho woman so fast she would implode.
Espen
I think what has kept the show on is our own comparison to our family life. In this case, it's all negative on Kate and Jon's part b/c we know life really isn't like that. One blogger mentioned that if we were in their shoes we'd take the goods. Yeah true, but it's how we accept the goods that makes us different. It is ironic though that we never see any of their friends or family on the show. The people that surround you are a reflection of who you are. But if you don't have support, then how can you grow and learn?
Life is the greatest teacher of all and its sidekick, Time, always comes for support. The price for fame and fortune will come due for this family in years to come. What they have learned and not learned mentally as well as morally will determine the bill's total. Unfortunately, the bulk of the bill will land in the hands of the children. It is at that time that they, Jon and Kate, must make a real decision on how to handle shortcomings, disappointments, failures, etc. when the cameras have stopped rolling and the help has stopped coming.
TLC is also partly to blame for the destruction of this Amercian family. How many multiple births are there in this country? What purpose does this show serve if they have skewed from the original informative base? In metaphoric terms, TLC is the drug dealer and Jon and Kate are the drug addicts. You keep feeding them, they'll keep tearing themselves down. But when you cut them off, what have you created? I guess watching a family of 10 do nothing got boring so you furnish them with gifts to see how they react.
Miha
Did anyone else see the episode where Joel was sick and throwing up, and Kate made him lay on the linoleum floor of the laundry room, surrounded by training potties, away from the rest of the family? Kate was so concerned about washing things that Joel threw up on that she made him lay on a cold floor all alone. And the whole time he was sick she was just being a martyr as usual, talking about how she has to wash so much laundry every day.... then continued to explain that she neither folds, irons, or puts away any of the laundry herself. Finally Jon found Joel and moved him to a BEDROOM, where sick babies belong!
Lindsey
Jon & Kate are moving into a 1.3 MILLION dollar home with 26 acer at 298 Heffner Rd, Wernersville, PA.
No they didn't move to NC. Property is Best viewed on MSN Live Maps.
Jon no longer work 's now as they command $25.000 per speaking engagement and get royalties from the book and also get "Love Offerings" from Churches.
Kate has said "the Show is their life and their life is the show" very telling.
I also have said the children will pay the ultimate price and they have and are.. by their mother and Jon' not having the guts to stand up to his wife cutting everyone out of her and the family's life that has the guts to stand up to her and disagree with her I.E.the Grand Parents and her siblings, Aunt Jodi & Kevin and now Beth.
The children are one day going to see their mother in a new light when they are older and see threw all the lies and see it was because of mommy's greed that they didn't have a relationship with Grandma & Grandpa and other family members. How sad.
Megan
Well i like Kate Gosselin, but now i am getting a little annoyed with her.... i wish that she didn't charge so much! i still like her, but she is getting a little money crazy!
That annoyed me when she kicked Jodi off the show just because she can get paid to! Jodi was not my favorite (Hannah is) but her kids are sooo adorable, and Jodi was so nice!
rabbitears
jealous jealous jealous thats all i can say, the more you hate upon others the more you are upset with your own life. these people did struggle at one point as i am sure just like the rest of the world and i believe they have been given a chance at hope and opportunity with the show to be financially secure. its not like they went off and planned or scheduled to have 8 kids so that they could be given freebies or handouts. things happen for a reason. this family was blessed at what has been given to them. and yes i agree at times that Kate talks down to or at her husband. but its no reason to bash or hate on the woman. no family (wife, husband, mother, father, children) is perfect. everyone has imperfections as i am sure all of you do as well. but they stick together and make it work and im sure there is alot more to this family when they cameras are off. you only see a glimpse of what goes on. you guys need to really get a grip reality and your own life and not judge people based on what you see on the television. dont be haters of others good fortune.
think about this quote before you start judging people. "Who are you to judge the life I live? I know i'm not perfect and I don't live to be, but before you start you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean"
Gatchaman
I think rabbitears has a warped sense of reality. I wouldn't be surprised is it was Kate in disguise.
As much as I can't stand how Kate treats Jon like dirt, he's the one who takes it. It's like he enjoys her verbal beatings and asks for more. Jon...for once...grow some balls and stand up for yourself. You're an embarrassment to the male population.

The lack of others, family members, family friends, and children's friends, in their lives is what disturbs me the most. Who among us is a perfect family member or friend, yet we love our family and friends in spite of their faults and they reciprocate. Part of teaching your children is making them aware that while we might not agree with all the things that others do, we still love or like them and look for the good in them. I am referring to different life styles, religious beliefs, socioeconomic levels, not "child molesters or murderers, just "normal" family.
As a mother and an adult daughter I honored my parents and my husband's parents and through example my children do too. They would have been robbed of life long memories and unconditional love had they not had extended family in their lives. No one, who has reached adulthood, would trade their time with family and friends for any amount of money. I wouldn't.
Juli
If Kate & Jon didn't want the judgment of others they shouldn't of put their family on TV.
I'm one whose not jealous of Kate or her family and my life is just fine thank you. Now my extended family has a whole lot more money then Kate could ever fathom, That being said I'm glad I'm not apart of it as money can not buy you happiness and for the most part it destroys. I've seen it for myself and I am glad I'm not apart of the mess of the other half of my family.
I'm thankful for what I do have.. and no amount of money would make me exploit my children or my family for gain. Time will tell as to what psychological damage has been done to the Gosslin children. Whats sad is Mady is exhibiting stress and acting out and sadly I think its only going to get worse as time goes on and more of the little ones probably will also be acting out in their own ways too.
Now as the Gosslings have bought a million dollar home they now have too keep exploiting their children to pay the bills.
Kate has another book titled "Eight Little Faces" on various themes including trust, perseverance, joy and encouragement.
After seeing how Kate treats her husband, disregards his role in disciplining the children when she has said to the children and I quote "Don't listen to Daddy he's mean".. or giving back a plate of food when taken away in punishment when one kids throwing a fit, or just putting her husband down to her children..thats NOT teaching your children to love and have respect for their father.
I don't see how anyone would call the woman a good role model.
Tinkerbell
Ok, I just went on a site http://www.babble.com (somehow you will have to find the things on the Gosselins) because there was a link i clicked on, but it wont let me copy it and past in here. Anyways about the third picture down is the Gosselin family standing in a entry way of a home. I think this is their home. If you look at the picture closly you will notice it is a brand new just built home, not the other one people are posting about, it just doesn't fit those other house pictures people are submitting. I thought maybe it was a hotel or a vacation rental, but it is diffentiely theirs. Kate is barefooted and you do that in your own home. Go to the link and look at the picture. Also you will see I think everyone is fooled about the house that they supposely bought. This is their house the one in the picture I just shared about and you can tell it is a newly built home.
Rhonda
I do like the show. Kate can certianly be annoying, but I am not going to dwell on that. If they want to capitalize on their kids, that's their problem. I don't care. But..... the most ridiculous things about her that is totally pathetic is HER not letting the kids eat the cupcakes made at the bakery. IT WAS THEIR BIRTHDAY!!
She was afraid they would mess up their church clothes?? They had already been to church that morning so what's wrong with getting a little icing on the clothes? I just thought that it was sad that the 6 kids were soooo excited to have made a cupcake and couldn't even eat it until that night after dinner (and only if they ate all of their dinner first).
Also, the incident where Joel got gum on his bear! It is obviously like my child's blankee (a secuirty toy)---She was actually going to throw it away just because it had a little gum on it?????? That poor child was sooo upset. That was really sad.
Melissa
John and Kate were not wealthy people when they had their first two kids. They wanted one more. They got 6. Many women taking fertility drugs end up with multiples, most I've seen have two or three. Kate ended up with 6, and it did scare her and John when they found that out. Not just because of the enormous physical feat it is to carry 6 babies, but because of what it was going to cost. It scared them a lot, they've said that themselves. They had to do something to clothe, feed and put money away for these babies. They got offered to do the show, TLC actively sought them out, not the other way around. If you had 8 kids and not enough money to make ends meet, would you not take freebies and take the opportunity to make money to feed your family? They were desperate. They house they have been living in is nice, but it's not by all means huge. If they really had a ton of money like people claim they do, they'd have moved a long time ago. TLC is probably putting out most of the bill for their new house, yes. But with 8 kids, they NEED a bigger space. The kids are getting older and they have more clothes, more stuff. They need space to move and play and be kids. If I was offered help with paying for all that, I would take it too. Yes they promote various products and clothes and kids stuff on the show, but that's how TLC makes THEIR money, thus being able to pay John and Kate. I don't agree with a lot of what is filmed being public knowledge, and it does seem Kate is very protective and controlling. Some women just are that way in the family. John is soft spoken and does a lot around the house, but from what is shown on t.v., he DOES procrastinate. I know when my husband says he's going to fix something and months go by and it's still not done, I get kind of annoyed too. She doesn't "HIT" him, she play hits - there's a difference. It's not like she's cold cocking him in the eye or something. She is very organized and she plans ahead, but I think that's an admirable trait, and not something people should be attacking her for. We only see SOME of what really goes on in their home. Not sure what happened with Jody and all that, but really - that's a family matter and obviously a private thing they are dealing with on their own time. Sure, they do have help with the kids and they do have someone that does the yard maintenance, but so does the old lady who lives next door to us. Sometimes you just don't have time, so you outsource and you hire someone. Again, not something Kate should be attacked for.
I think I've made some points here, and that's all I'll say.
I think it's not right to judge based on what you see on t.v. only.
Thanks for reading.
rabbitears
Melissa hit the nail right on the head.
Rick
I ******* hate Kate. I'm a 21 year-old male and Kate is exactly what I don't want my wife to be like. It's [un]funny how neurotic she is -- not letting her kids walk bare-foot in hotel rooms.
Rick
"She doesn’t “HIT” him, she play hits - there’s a difference." Uhh, NO. No, there isn't a difference. And Melissa, talk what you know -- and you don't know anything. You don't know the circumstances of how the show got started, so why are you even talking about it? You sound just as stupid as Kate. Whole lotta talking, no sense or logic to back it up.
Sasha
I've read some of these comments and almost every single one makes me sick. I love this show and the entire Gosselin family and find nothing wrong with Kate with the exception of maybe she gets a little cranky and OCD at times but who wouldn't with that amount of stress in your life 24/7. As for the "she's always screaming when their out in public" she had 8 very young kids in places where something could EASILY HAPPEN. I think it's brave and couragous of her and Jon to even consider taking those kids anywhere like Disney or Hawaii or any of the trips they go on if only for the safety aspect of those children. They do an excellent job raising those kids and I don't think they mistreat them in any way. You are not seeing every aspect of their lives. The crew is only there 3 out of the seven days in a week. Do you really think you can get 100% of their lives in those three days? There was another comment about how you never see the kids with any friends which is true but it doesn't mean they don't have friends. Mady and Cara both have friends and in this last episode she mentioned that they do hang out with friends from school. The reason you don't see them on the show is for confidentiality issues because obviously their friends are minor children and their parents probably don't want their identity aired on a TV show for all to see. I know I would be a little sketchy about that. There is a lot you don't know about this family and until you know everything, don't judge. I think this family is amazing and God Bless Jon and Kate for doing what they do and raising those kids in the best way they can.

Can I get a witness???? 😉

Tinker I bet its the new CONDO that Jon bought in Park City Utah. He was there by himself skiing.
You can listen to Jon's Park City TV interviews here.

In the third interview Jon talks about his and Kate's parents and By the way her father is an assistant Pastor. She is what many Church going people call a PK {Preachers Kid }
During the interview he is asked as to WHY Kate's parents aren't involved in their lives without telling the reporter of Kate's demands on them and on their church.
{Yes there are blogs by people of the church they left when Kate didn't get her matching cribs and money donations when the tups were born. As her parents didn't condone her actions {GOOD FOR THEM!}and wouldn't give into her demands, nor would the church..she cut them out of her life and they left the church}
So he says they just aren't involved at all in anyones lives.
His body language is very telling IMO.
Sasha DOES sound like Kate and Jon are known to troll and have been caught a few times.
TCH
Sasha, you think she yells at her husband in public because she has 8 kids? Have you ever stepped on foot inside an elementary school, Sasha? I am a teacher and I can control 20-25 children without yelling at ANYONE. All day long. What kind of example would I be if I yelled at them all day long?
The woman [Kate] is a horrible example for self-control. It disheartens me that people think if you have 8 children you automatically get to yell at them and talk about their weknesses and fualts in public, and treat your husband like a some lowly servant. If Kate is a good example, than what is that mother of 16 (or 17 or whatever it is) on that other show? I've watched that a little and from what I could see she treats those children with the utmost respect and she encourages them in the most gentle manner, right along with her husband. THEY ARE SAINTS and wonderful examples for people to aspire to as parents. If more people raised their standards to that level, it would make my job as a teacher sooooo much easier.
There is no excuse to yell at your family. If you think that is "normal" you need better role models in your life. It is NOT normal.
LG NB
I have to agree with you TCH. I am a teacher at a middle school and I guarantee if I yelled at my students like she yells at her kids and her husband I would be so FIRED!!
I also think that the Duggars are a much better example of how to handle having a large number of children. I have never once heard Michelle Duggar yell at her kids or at her husband for that matter. Its not a matter of stress level, its a matter of simple respect. How can she expect us to believe that she serves her husband or raises her children in a Godly way if she disrespects them like that.

Well Kate's days are probably numbered (fingers crossed). The birth of octuplets will probably mean goodbye to the Gosselins and hello to the family with 8 little ones.
Anyone who can watch her and think she is a great mother is very gullible. She is blatantly and doesn't try to hide the fact that motherhood isn't her favorite thing.
Obviously the hairdresser is but she should fire the one that came up with this new "do".
She looks like Veronica Lake from the front and a mop from the back.
Caitlin
Well i would just like to start off by saying that just because this family is on tv what gives you the right to put them down as if you know their complete life story and the hardships that they have been through to get where they are today. No matter what you may say about yourself no mother is perfect. Kate and Jon have done all that they possibly can to give their eight children a normal life just like any other child. If you don't like her don't watch her show. No one forces you to watch Jon & Kate Plus Eight. As adults, I honestly can't believe that you are on this website posting such things when you should be caring for and worrying about your own lives and children. Mothers get stressed. I myself have five children. You can't possibly keep your patience at all times. Everyone has a breaking point and you can't honestly tell me that as a mother you have never yelled at your children. Discipline needs to be given to all children otherwise they will grow up thinking they can do whatever they please and us as mothers will lose control. I find Kate to be a great mother. No she does not treat Jon like a child. They have their arguments and disagreements, but what married couple doesn't. They truly love each other and do what they think is best for their kids. And yes companies do donate things to them, but jon also works and makes money for his family. Yes, Kate does feed her family organic food. And you may say that isn't possible you take what you can get. This however is not true. There are supermarkets that sell only organic food which is where she gets her food from. And who are you to say that she needs medicated? Is it a crime to want healthy children and a dirt and germ free house? Do you not want that? Because i know i wouldn't want to live in filth. In all honesty, Kate and Jon very much remind me of my husband and myself. The way they live their lives and the way they parent their kids is very much like my husband and I, even the discipline and bickering! We actually sit and laugh at them bickering because it reminds us so much of ourselves. Are you going to make a hate website devoted to me too? I'm sorry that you are jealous of the successful life that Jon and Kate and many others live. But i will say it took a lot of hardwork and they had many hardships to overcome to get where they are today. The life they now live didn't just fall into their laps and I do not think that you are one to judge the life someone else leads when you have not lived that life. God Bless Jon, Kate, Cara, Mady, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, && Joel. You will be in my prayers. God Bless.

I think what we all like about the show is that no one is perfect. Kate is both loving toward her children and annoyed by them. Obviously she likes the sextuplets more than the twins and likes the girls more than the boys. I have never, never seen her having a conversation with any of the kids. She tells them do this and do that and complains about them all the time (especially about Mady) but never, at least on television episodes, just sits and talks with them. Cara tries hard to please her parents (and often succeeds). Mady feels unloved and shows this. Most mothers would stop and talk to a child who expressed the anger and sadness and frustration that Mady so often does but Kate just complains about her on camera. For me one of the saddest episodes was went Cara and Mady started taking music lessons. After the first week, they were asked to give a concert. Kate made fun of them throughout the "concert." I am happy to see that Cara is a pretty good athlete, her father's influence obviously. If the other kids have any talents, they quickly disappear as a result of being ridiculed.
But back to my original statement, this is why we all watch. It's real. These are people with problems and we all know the problems will multiply as the kids get older and more independent. Who knows, maybe they will even develop friendships and have other families and friends to talk with. Bet we'll never see that on camera.

Funny I found this website since everything mentioned here has been in my mind for a while now. I really like the show, but lately.....hmmmmm....I don't know. I think it was a really nice show when they were a "normal" family, you know what I mean?? Now, to me, they are too much of celebrities and I really don't see the point of the show anymore. I think they should find another family, with real struggles....this family is obviously doing really well. There is a woman who just gave birth to 8 babies!! That would be interesting to watch and they probably need some help.
Good for them they are doing good, moving to a good house and so on, but I don't think it is interesting watching them anymore.
I think it is hard to judge them only by what we see on tv, but Kate can be a pain, no questions about that.
By the way, don't you guys think it is so weird that they never have friends over!?!
Patty
I loved this show when it first started because the Gosselins were normal people with normal jobs who work working against some pretty tough odds. Little by little, they sold out. I couldn't even believe the Desperaux episode - now the show is a commercial for movies??? In this last episode, Kate looks out the window of her million dollar home and says, "This is mine, all mine..." (not OURS, but MINE) and I wanted to hurl. There is nothing real about this family any more. Kate acts like a spoiled brat. No matter how much free stuff they get, she whines about it. People all over the country are losing their homes, losing their jobs - and here she is whining about all that they have been given, just because of an accident of birth. I agree that the episode where Joel was dumped on the laundry room floor so that he wouldn't mess up her house was horrible. How about a hug and a cuddle for the poor, sick kid instead of screaming at him for making more laundry and then treating him like a leper? What kind of mother does that?
Marie
Kate originally said she allowed the filming of her family because she wanted to capture memories of the kids on film. Wonder if she'll look at the videos years down the road and wish she had done a little less cleaning and commanding, and a little more mothering.
They grow up so fast.....
kara
i think you all are absolutly retarded i mean seriously people she has eight kids ! you all would be bitchy also.. you take her eight kids and see how well you treat your husbands . and so whattttt if she doesnt feed them all organic , if she cant sometime who the hell cares . none of you no the truth about aunt jodi , STOP STARTING RUMORS . jon and kate had nothing but there eight babies , you should be proud of them for coming out of that . YOU hate her , thats wrong think aboutt of hard her life is . you only see a few days of her life dont judge her. she is way more responsible then all of you im sure , so shut your mouths .
Janey
I find it interesting that so many are willing to excuse Kate Gosselin's very poor parenting because she has eight children. That's nonsense. I was raised in a family of 8 kids and it was not havoc around the house. I never heard or saw my parents fight - I'm sure they must have had their disagreements, but they were adults and made a conscious decision that they would present a united front to the children and have their disagreements private. I respect them so much for that! Kate is constantly belittling not only her husband (which is bad enough, but he's at least an adult), but her very own children. It's really depressing to see her mean little digs all the time, and especially toward the boys. She just does not like boys does she, not even her own sons.
The show so rarely shows a quiet moment between mom and child, except for mom and her favorite, Hannah. She has no sympathy for when they get hurt, but oh boy if they get their clothes dirty - it's the end of the world. Did you see the show where they are in New York City walking along and one of the boys walks into a pole or column and bonks his head? He's hurt and cries and she tells him, in a cold indifferent tone, "oh you're okay" and sends him to his dad, who actually gives him a little TLC.
I'm amazed at how this woman is looked up to as any kind of parenting role model. She has a very cold heart, and is more concerned with material things than spiritual things. To me, she truly does represent the empty soul that has become the face of the "right wingers" and so called religious right. Look how many churches are still ponying up the speaking fee to hear them talk, when that money should be going directly to people in real need within their own community. Shameful.
Jan
I agree with all the posts describing Kate as selfish and uncaring. The greed has gone to her head...she wanted children, has 8 now and what is she doing? Travelling around leaving her kids at home (With Dad but then again, Jon should be out working and supporting his family) to line her pockets with more and more money. I believe through Jon's inheritance, the show, the fact I read recently that the kids are set for college (not sure if that's true; read it on a blog somewhere) and the proceeds from "their" book, they are set for life.
As far as the makeovers on their first home, sorry but I have to agree with Kate on this one...I find them simply awful and gawdy. The master bedroom and living room aren't too bad but the nursery, twins room and bathroom are way too busy for me.
I would have thought they would have had some say in the decorating and I would have kept it more simple.
califgal
I think this show should be taken off the air. I have not seen anything that demonstrates any positive parenting at all by Kate. I watched one of the early shows when the babies were first born and Kate was a different person then. At that time she wasn't the greedy, shouting, demeaning mother that she has turned into. Unfortuntely her darling daughter Maddy is following in her footsteps and has trouble written all over her.
It was very telling in last weeks episode when Kate was in the kitchen looking out the window waving her hand and saying "look it is MINE ALL MINE. There was nothing about "OURS". She had a very evil grin, like she had really pulled one over. I think TLC should dump this show and find something that is more positive. I saw a post on another web site by the surviving Dionne's that said how much harm over exposure had done to all of them, and just think they did not have TV cameras following them around!! One can only imagine what kind of troubles these kids will have when they are older.
Jan
Since Jan. 31st, Kate's been out of town and doing an appearance today in Indiana. 8 kids and she hasn't been home for 5 days????
I think that alone will cause harm to her 8 children living with a mother travelling....for what??? Oh, yeah, for them!!!
Right??? It's for money, money, money although they seem set for life already!!!
Jen
Just wanted to say that I used to like the show very much. I was sort of a latecomer to the show so I had no idea who they were until late Fall 2007 when the show was first starting.
First off, no wife (or husband) should speak to the father (or mother) of their children that way in front of their kids. Period. There is no excuse for it. I don't care if you have 8 kids or 18 kids, it's not ok.
Daycare providers in my area can legally be licensed to take care of at least 8 children alone in their home. If a daycare provider can manage to feed, clean and play with 8 kids a mom who has a vested interest in their development and well-being should be able to as well. Is it easy? No...but life isn't easy and when you have taken on that task, as they did, well...sorry, you're the Mom and Dad!
Once I started to get that not so great feeling about Kate, I decided to do a little research online. I was happy to find out that, no I wasn't crazy, Kate really is a raving lunatic.
But what was most telling to me was a newspaper article about Kate when the babies were about a year old. Jon and Kate had a free skilled nurse in their home 30 hours a week. The State of Pennsylvania paid for the nurse at the cost of about $25,000. When their one-year was up and the nurse was to be sent somewhere else, Kate begged and even went to a court hearing to contest them taking the nurse away. She wanted the nurse for another year, AT THE STATE'S EXPENSE....meaning, free again for another year. She acknowledged that her kids were healthy and that the only medications that needed to be administered was a daily multi-vitamin. She said that they could not afford to hire someone to help and that it, "wasn't fair" that she had to be alone with eight kids!
Even though her children were healthy...even though she used to have volunteers in the home helping whom she sent away...even though she had a nurse for free for an entire year, it made no difference to her. She had absolutely no problem asking for a nurse to be at her home at state expense, wiping noses and feeding lunches while some family with an ill or disabled child went without a nurse! Can you believe that someone would be so ungrateful and so selfish as to deny a needy family a nurse that they rightfully needed for medical reasons just so she could have what basically amounted to a child care worker in her home for free?
An interviewer from a newspaper asked why she couldn't go back to work as an RN since they make decent money (oh yeah, she's already a nurse HERSELF, but needs another nurse there too) and she said that she would "just end up giving her paycheck to childcare". Ok, you mean like normal people do every day?
Then the interviewer asked why if they had $100,000 in equity in their home why they didn't take out a home equity loan like people do for educational purposes and medical expenses. She said they didn't want to do that either....ok.....
So you see, this is just one VIVID example of her selfishness. I could go on and on with more of them, but this is the big one for me because it was the one that opened my eyes and made me see that this entire show, this entire circus is yet another example of someone (Kate and Jon) who would rather someone else shoulder the responsibility for their decisions but in the case of the show, those shouldering it are the kids.
Karen Newton
Does anyone else think Kate is gay? She talks just like Ellen DeGeneres and seems to hate Jon. There is no attraction between those two. I feel really sorry for Jon.
Caitlin
I must say you all are utterly ridiculous! Apparently no one wanted to take the advice i gave in an earlier entry about minding your own business, stop judging people you don't know, and worry about your own kids. A lot of the things said on this ridiculous website are all for the simple fact that you all are JEALOUS! I mean Karen Newton for example, "Does anyone else think Kate is gay?" Wow. She has eight kids and a man she has been through extremely tough times and just renewed her wedding vows with but she's gay. Come on now. We all know that you're just looking for a reason to hate and be nasty. This world has enough hatred in it without you having to opinionate yourselves on the internet. You act like you all yourselves are such saints as parents. If this is the way you treat and judge all people you know nothing about, I'd hate to see the things you teach your children on a daily basis. You're setting a terrible example.
Jen
Caitlin,
With all due respect, as you are entitled to your positive opinion of Kate, some of us are entitled to our negative one. As for judging, you are doing that yourself about people posting here. As for jealousy, I wouldn't PAY money to be in their shoes. My family enjoys privacy, a happy home and a happy marriage between myself and my husband. No need to be jealous. They have been like this LONG before there was a show and money. A little research into their life before the show would reveal that to you.
Jen
Caitlin,
And again, respectfully....one more thing. When you come to a post that is titled, "Reasons I Really Dislike Kate Gosselin" what do you expect to find? Instead of chasing down people who disagree with you, why not simply enjoy the show?
liz
I can no longer watch the show. Kate is a train wreck waiting to happen. Her need for attention is sad and alarming. When children are the financial supporters of the family the universe has shifted. Down is up, wrong is right. I feel the children are being exploited by their own parents and TLC. There is very little "reality" in a life where cameras are present so much of the time. These children are basically child stars and experience has shown that being a child star often leads to being an adult who feels unprotected and used.
mygfmakesmewatch
I used to make fun of my guy friend when he watched this show. Now I watch with my girlfriend, and love to hate Kate. I have a great game for you Kate haters. Everytime she says 'me' 'myself' or 'I' you drink. I have gotten drunk many a time by watching half hour shows with my girlfriend. Also, this is my paraphrased opinion of her as a person. She's horrible. She's bossy, self-absorbed, neat freak, sociopathic, CONDESCENDING, ungrateful, dumb (even though she thinks she is a genius), can never be wrong about ANYTHING, superficial (while she thinks she is wholesome), delusional (about the way she treats her husband), an elitist, and an overall flawed person who puts others down but somehow does not comprehend how she is hurting others. My opinion on Jon: I do understand staying with her for the kids, but once they are grown and gone, he should BAIL!
LG NB
I watched the show until they went to their new house for the first time. After watching her ignore her children all day, make kids wait to have their behinds wiped until she finished what she was doing (although I do think there were multiple behinds and she couldn't find them all) and bitch and moan about all the mess she had to clean I don't think I can watch the show any longer. This is ridiculous now, they don't need the show to let the public see inside their lives, we all know now how they REALLY are.
Mel
I also love to hate Kate. My husband and I watch like it is a train wreck. Gruesome, but we just can't look away. We now call the show John and Hate + 8. I agree with most peoples observations of the show and of the true Kate that SHE shows to everyone with every episode.
As for all of the we should be ashamed of ourselves for not jumping on the I love Kate bandwagon and thinking that everything to come from her is GOLDEN... let me ask you this... who puts themselves and their family up there on television to display these situations? Its not me or anyone else here that has commented... well unless John or Kate have been trolling which I could totally see them do. They only have themselves to blame. Its like the people in Hollywierd, if you put yourself out there and want just fame and fortune and everyone to think you are all that well guess what... its not EVER going to happen. When anyone was a nobody Hollywood or Kate first started out they would have given their anything to be noticed and to make a a name for themselves. Once it becomes difficult to have privacy they all bitch and get annoyed that this is not what they signed up for... that's where they get it wrong. They did too sign up for it because that's part of it.
Barton Fink
Myself, I hope for the best for Kate and Jon and the kids. I understand that there are moral purists who would be happier if they just shut up and hid away in a 2000 square foot home somewhere, but on the other hand, the parents themselves are quite telegenic and would make quite a good show just bickering.
Jennifer
Wow....their are some really jealous people on this site. Chill out. You act like you actually know the Gosslins. What you see on T.V. is made for T.V. Unless you are their friends or their family, you don't have a right to make any judgement about their family. Apparently your life is not very interesting.
Jen
I get such a chuckle out of people who come to a post titled, "Reasons I Really Dislike Kate Gosselin" and then dog on people who have an opinion in keeping with the title of the post. Makes for some great entertainment! 🙂
JAM
I wan't going to post, but I just couldn' resist. I knew Kate as a teenager, and not to much has changed. She has always been at odds with her parents, and was always close to her brother. She was pretty self obsorbed even back then.
As to the comments about her getting a skilled nurse, this makes my blood boil! I have a special needs kid who REALLY needs the nursing. My child has so many neurological problems that it is truely a miracle she's alive. I have to fight tooth and nail to keep the few hours we do get. Every year we live in fear that the hours will be cut. If there is no nurse we have to stay up round the clock to make sure she doesn't asperate and die! To think that woman got care from the government program that she didn't need, then tried to fight to keep it because she was too tired to do it herslef makes me SICK! Like everyone else said, we do it on our own we don't ask for handouts! I didn't ask for a special needs kid, and I wouldn't trade her for the world, but I do it myself, I don't get handouts. She should have left the nurse for the kids who truely needed them.
Also, they have received so much stuff from so many people! I mean Dr. Phil gave them thousands of dollars in toys, so the kids didn't always have to "share"! What do we do with our kids. Teach them to share no matter what! How many free trips can you take to New York City, and California etc... then cry the blues about money or no time for the family. How about turn off the camera's and stay home and really get to know your kids!
NoFanofKate
Kate is the most obnoxious "mother" on earth! She is so controlling, demanding, cold, selfish, rude & into herself that it's pathetic. I'm sick of hearing her cry poverty, talking about her "monkey munch" & organic food, using the term "meltdown", & that ugly hairdo of hers! Gee, isn't it everyday that mothers of large families get tummy tucks, teeth whitening, vacation after vacation, hair transplants, etc.? Kate definately needs some meds for her OCD & downright nastiness. Also, Jon needs to stand up for himself like a normal man would do. He's such a wimp! No wonder their families have nothing to do with them and now even their one friend! I can't understand how anyone actually sticks up for selfish & greedy Kate! You need your head examined along with Kate if you do.
Jan
Jennifer....Unless you are her family and friends???
THEY DON'T TALK TO THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS....Jon and Kate have cut all ties to everyone....
Kim
And here I was thinking I was getting fertility treatments so my husband and I could experience being parents - who knew it was such a cash cow? Maybe I should go for TEN AT THE SAME TIME and the stimulus package can bail me out and I'll never have to work again!!! Muahahaha!
Kate is a pyscho - I watch the show with the same glee I watch any "reality" show; for the (unintended) laughs.
Jen
JAM, thanks for the insights into Kate's past. I have a feeling there will be people she has wronged who will be all too eager to come forward and talk about the "real Kate". I have heard some stories from people who knew her and so far, not one positive thing.
Where are the family and friends that can defend? Gone. Yesterday's trash. They burn every bridge one by one, it seems.
claire
Both of these parents are horrible! I watched them on their walk in the woods, and Jon openly mocks his kids. Neither of these people seem to have ever taken a parenting class. They seem so intent on making their family into "entertainment" that they are willing to say and do anything. Do they have any idea of how damaged their kids will be when they grow up?
Love the show!!!
You people are such HATERS. OMG!!!! Most of the rumors that you are complaining about- are probably not true... You don't live their life and you don't know what goes on behind the camaras. Most of you probably woudn't have the strength or fortitude to raise 8 children (you're probably doing a bad job with the one or two that you have). I like Jon and Kate, they do what they have to do to get the job done, and obviously from the behavior and mannerism of their children they are doing a GREAT job. I bet if camaras followed you and your brats around most people would not like what they see. Keep it real, people. None of us are perfect, all of us have our little qwirks that we wouldn't want exposed. At least they are brave enough to show us -would you be. I believe their purpose for doing the show is to help others and on the backside it will help their family. Don't act like you wouldn't want the benefits (or perks) from doing a show like this one----CAN WE ALL STOP PRETENDING AND STOP HATING!!
Love the show!!!
Oh yeah -Jen... I actually clicked on the site because I was looking up her recipes for organic foods. Let me break it down for ya- when you google the words Kate Gosselin and Organic foods this is one of the sites you get. I start reading the haters blogs and decided to be one of the good guys. Glad you are entertained by jealousy.
MEAGAN
I WAS A NEW VIEWER THAT WAS GOING ALONG WATCHING A SHOW THAT I DID NOT PLAN TO BE A FAN OF... THE CHILDREN SUCKED ME IN ( MAINLY AIDEN ) . REMEMBERING MY FIRST EPISODE OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN THE CLEANING LADY CAME AND WENT NO DOUBT DUE TO KATE WELL MY HUSBAND BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE FAMILY HAS NO COLTURAL DIVERSITY I.E. NO PERSONS OF COLOR... ANY COLOR. JON HAS CAST OFF HIS ENTIRE MAIN LAND FAMILY AND THE ONLY PEOPLE WE EVER SEE THE FAMILY ASSOCIATE WITH ARE WHITE. TRUE THE CHILDREN DO SEE THEMSELVES AS ASIAN IN LOOKS BUT HOW LONG CAN THAT EVEN LAST WHEN EVERY THING ABOUT THIER WORLD IS WHITE THE ONLY PERSON THAT STEPS BOOTIED FOOT THROUGH THEIR DOOR IS THE ASIAN CAMERA MAN. AND THE ONLY EVEN REMOTLY REMINECSENCENT OF JON'S ASIAN ROOTS ARE HIS "NO WORRY BEEF CURRY" OF WHICH KATE NEARLLY RIPPED HIS HEAD OFF WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE JON WAS ABOUT TO REVEILE THE RECIPE. DOES ANYONE SEE THAT RECIPE ENDING UP IN A COOK BOOK ? MONEY MONEY MONEY
Jen
>>Most of the rumors that you are complaining about- are probably not true…<<
Except for the fact that most of what has been talked about was in newspaper and tv interviews with the Gosselin's themselves.
Seriously, do you think the opinions of the people posting here have come out of thin air? If you love the show, why not just love it? Why come to a post that is clearly opposite of what you think and berate people for their opinions? Are you THAT concerned that perhaps what you are reading might be true and it will burst your bubble?
My apologies to Stefanie for this discussion getting like this, because I'm sure she wasn't looking for an "OMG hater!" versus "OMG, do some research!" arguement. But c'mon...there is factual evidence, interviews, things they have said themselves to back up much of the history that some people have referenced.
I was a fan of the show at first too, until I did research and learned that they have been taking advantage of everyone around them for quite some time.
charles
i just have to say i dont like kate
Judi
What happened to Beth and Jody? I loved the show seasons 1 and 2. Season 3, more of a chore to watch. She SUC_s. The Hawaii episode should be considered the episode the show jumped the shark tank. From here on in this is a train wreck. WHO GIVES A TOOT it took 4 hours to clean a fridge. You let your kids wait to have their bottoms wiped? WTF?
MYSTERY
I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD CANCEL THE SHOW KATE AND HER UGLY FAMILY(NOT AIDEN)(DEFINITELY MADDY) GET ON MY NERVES.MADDY IS MEAN,CARA IS WEIRD,THE 5 LIL KIDS ARE ANNOYING, KATE GOT THAT UGLY HUMONGOUS BANG ON THE SIDE OF HER FACE,AND JOHN LOOKS LIKE A CREEP

ANN
BUG I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
Jan
Kate wants whatever she can get as long as there is $$ for her (and her children, of course).
She'll promote anything but she'll always be complaining about something!
Yasmeen
Wow, someone's jealous?
You know, she's not SUPERMOM, she can't do everything you expect her to do.
And FYI, all you see on the show isn't their whole life, OK? So I'm sure there's a LOT of good stuff to her that just isn't aired.
And one more thing,
Yes, she does get freebies from the public, but you know what she does in return? She donates to various causes.
EX-
1. In the Yard Sale episode, all the $ Mady and Cara made was donated to charity.
2. During Christmas time, she took the whole family to KMart to but gifts for kids with cancer in the hospital. Jon and herself delivered them PERSONALLY.
3. They wrote a check out to the Ronald McDonald house, the place where they stayed while the 6 where in the hospital.
...And I'm sure there are many, many more.
Aunt Lucie
Kate is so disliked she should be taken off the air. She's a mean and vicious person who does not deserve 8 children. She seems to not be able to give them love. All she does is b****. Jon is a whimp. The kids act retarded at times. Mady needs a shrink and is a brat. I can't decide who I dislike the most -- Kate or Obama.

YASMENE NOBODY IS HATIN ON KATE BUT NOBODY LIKES HER,AND DONT COME HERE IF YOU DO

I use to love watch J&K+8, but have found Kate's behavior very annoying..SO she has eight kids and is bogged by the daily struggles of having so many kids, BUT remember it was their choice to have that many, did she seriously think it would be a walk in the park??? I mean she had twins, and I'm sure they were a handful...so for her to whine, b&tch and moan about the stress of having multiples, I don't want to hear it....I'm sure the lady that has 18+ has her days, well you decided to have that many, now deal with it...as far as the Gosselins giving back to St. Judes, DO you really think that they spent their own $$$ to buy those gifts??? How many times was Kmart shown or spoken about during that episode? The only $$$ she put out was to buy that Elmo her daughter wanted, and the gifts she bought for that Nana woman and her husband and dog...Kate didn't seem genuine when she went on that hospital visit, it's like she wants to sit on her ass and let the $$ come to her, these appearances are becoming time consuming and a bore...she should appreciate what she has in her life, her 15 minutes of fame are running out...thank God!

I agree Karen, I think it's all winding down too. This year will hopefully be the end of this trainwreck.
It's funny but when I'm with people and they bring up the show, I'm shocked at how many people have changed their opinion of the show. I mean, I was a fan of the show at first until I started to look for more information about their story. Keep in mind that I did this as a fan, not as someone looking for negative information. There was plenty to be found and from reputable sources particularly from back when the babies were born.
I have not run into one person offline who likes this show anymore. It's a constant stream of, "oh, those poor kids" and "I think they need to hang it up and stop that show." As someone who participates in discussions like this, that's not an unusual thing to hear. But when you hear it even from the former fans and casual watchers offline away from the hype of the show, it's amazing to hear how passionate people are about disliking this show and specifically disliking Kate and they way she treats Jon and the kids.

Kate has really been painful to watch. She has extreme untreated OCD, anger and excessive control issues which doesn't work with eight kids and a husband. She has become very disengaged from the children and continues to treat Jon in a horrible fashion. Not to mention, she is resentful of the very vehicle which has taken her to a new level in society. This is evident in her extreme sarcasm toward the camera.
TLC ratings may rise if they document her much needed journey into therapy to treat her OCD and anger which no doubt arises from her family of origin. Interesting that we have never seen them on the show. Her need for attention and control is negatively impacting her family as seen in Jon's apathy and whipped puppy attitude. Please find this woman some help, she really needs it before she takes her family further down. Maybe she should revisit a 7 to 3 nursing shift to shed reality on her. It was very interesting to see her tell us how she needed new top of the line appliances. I wonder what was wrong with the "old"ones in the million dollar home. Is this OCD or just selfish behavior. (maybe a little of both) I enjoyed watching this episode with the new appliances followed by the Duggar's sleeping on mats in El Salvador as they served the poor. Now I can really show my kids the difference between self-indulgence and true kindness and selflessness.

To the thousands of Kate-haters out there:
If you really hate her as much as you say, and if you really feel that it is in the best interest of her children that they are not filmed, STOP watching the show so TLC CANCELS it! It is the only way to help put an end to the nonstop freebies and hopefully give Kate a much-needed reality check. You all who keep viewing this program are feeding her narcissism and greed. If people stop watching the show and stop showing an interest in their lives, they will have to resume life as a normal American family...and hopefully their kids will be better for it. Don't worry, their savings account and college funds will still be there.
Mel
Hannah, you are correct that we should just stop watching if we hate her so much. For me I just can't believe that she wouldn't watch the show and see how mean she was being and want to correct it. Its my version of a train wreck and one day I will stop watching because I can't watch the mess anymore. But there is an evil part of me that just wants to watch her spin out of control and self-destruct even more than I've already witnessed. I'm sure some would think this is sick and wrong but at least I'm honest. I DO love that show's like The Soup on the E network have taken notice of her a couple of times. As for worrying about their savings accounts and college funds for their children... not something I would ever worry about. Got my own childrens to be concerned over. The last episode before the dog one I did notice her actually engaging in some actual interaction with her children. She was touching one and everything. Maybe she is watching, reading and trying to do better.

I have mixed feelings for Kate Gosselin. I can certainly understand her excepting all the donations they get, and excepting money from the show, especially in the beginning when they really were struggling; I'd probably do the same thing to ensure the well-being of my family. But i also agree that she has exploited her innocent children, and is using them to line her own pockets. I don't think anyone believes they are a poor struggling family anymore, not with the new million dollar house, the luxury vacations, and the 24 hour cleaning, cooking, and babysitting services who obviously take care of everything for them. Kate treats her children awful, like if they're not 100% perfect all the time, they're not good enough. I hope not, but I would bet money that the children are going to have to go to some sort of therapy when they are older. (they should probably be going now).
But I think eventually the kids are going to disown them, and Jon and Kate are going to realize what a huge mistake they made in raising them. Hopefully, they realize it a little sooner, though. I certainly hope the kids won't be emotionally damaged by this, but why wait to find out?
Jen
My solution: I don't watch the show on TV either. And the more people who are able to get away from it the better.
However, as a TiVo subscriber, the records, watches and rewatches are monitored for their "Stop Watch" service that they sell to networks and other people who compile viewer data.
But...thanks to the good fans who violate copyright law and post the show on YouTube, you can still see the new episodes the next day (if you can stomach them, I usually don't see the whole thing) complete with commercials edited out for your convenience! 🙂
Best solution though would be if the show just stopped. Let the kids have a life like a normal non-tv kid for crying out loud. When is it going to be enough for them?
Kelly
Kate is AWFUL! At one time I liked her. I respected why she was the way she was. She had to make sure her family was taken care of. Now I think she is a SNOT RAG! I read her book (yaaaa I contributed to her 1.3 million dollar home) and when all those people came to VOLUNTEER to help her, she didn't care to even know who they were. LIKE THEY WERE HER "NON PAID SERVANTS! Who does she think she is? REALLY?!?!
Her faith, she better get a reality check. Just because you believe in God does not make you a good person. Gluttony, greed, wrath, & pride. Four of the seven deadly sins. Look them up Kate.
She had NO respect for her husband. NONE.
Well I believe that what comes around, goes around.
Kelly
I DON'T watch her show anymore. Nor do my family or friends. We are hoping they take her off the air.
Yasmeann
I don't watch the show-- I just snark on it. Kate's a bitch and her husband is a spineless jellyfish. The kids are all spoiled brats and are losing the cuteness factor. I see the show ending and drug abuse and homeless shelters in their future.
Jen
I used to love this show. But I have notice that the show becomes more and more about Kate. The new season is awful it seems to be all about Kate. I don't see much revolving around the kids.
How dare she not want Aunt Jodie to get paid, Kate is so ungrateful Jodi had helped her out so many times even when she left all the kids sick with the flu with her while Jon had his hair transplant and she left the kids with Jodi.
Jodi and Kate's Brother were obviously there for her a lot and deserve some compensation I don't see why she had to freak that TLC wanted to pay them she is such a controlling freak.
Poor Jon and the kids I think one of the worst episodes I saw was when they were at the toy store shopping for Christmas gifts for the kids and she was yelling at Jon in public, no matter what Jon does he can never do right she is a miserable controlling witch.
All she does is yell all the time and humiliates Jon in public she makes herself look so bad and she does not seem to care.
Maddy is just like her what a problem she will be in the future.
They need to discipline her instead of letting her be so disrespectful and going around hitting the kids and lying about it.
kate zilla
Kate is one of the most annoying persons I have ever had the displeasure of ever listening to or seeing. Ungrateful bitch is too kind to describe this she-witch. She is a money-hungry glory-pig always looking for more of each. I stopped watching the show out of disgust.
Starla
As I keep hearing more and more about the Octo-mom, I cannot stop wondering how much of what she is doing was because of what she has seen in the media. Not only are Jon and kate enjoying their new 1.3 million dollar house, but so are the Roloff's and the Duggars. To those of us on the outside looking in, it is easy to surmise that these people are doing very nicely because of these shows. In her screwed up mind, I just wonder if she is thinking that she will be a candidate for a new reality show and therefore will have a substantial income, not to mention the celebrity (which she is eating up with a spoon!).
One of the earlier comments questioned why we don't stop watching Kate and her trainwreck; well, i have, and i think a lot of others have too. Unfortunately, we can't get away from the ads which come over and over and over (and I now hate that "it's a beautiful world" song with such a passion!). Maybe TLC hopes that people will tune in to watch the mom we love to hate....not me. Her arrogance irritates me to no end.
Mel
With the help of this page and other investigating I have done and as much as I have been enjoying watching this train wreck of a woman spiral downward I have taken their show off my Tivo. Don't plan to be watching anymore. I can't watch her anymore. I'm more angry than happy after watching her show because of how mean she is to those kids and to her husband. Even if its an act, I just can't do it. I know there are terrible people out there in this world like her and much worse than her just can't have her negativity and meanness come into my home anymore. I hope she gets what she has been giving. Whatever that truly is. I encourage anyone else still watching to STOP. The best way to hit this lady where it hurts is most likely the pocket book. Stop the inanity and cut her off if you can. Thanks for all the posts. I have learned a lot.
Laken
I agree completely and I AM 12 !!!! She treats Jon like one of the kids and she treats maddie like she is the only good one even tho I hate maddie Just as much !!!!!!Jon tries to Discipline and it is all wrong (according to Kate) I think Jon is fun, cool and sweet I feel so bad for him
Laken
Oh and why do they need to add PUPPIES TO THE MESS I MEAN HONESTLY JEEZ !
Laken
Yasmene you know how she boght those cancer kids presents ?! I'm glad she did , but using other people's money and the shows money wont make her look like a good person !!!!
BARBARA
I HEAR JON HAS LEFT. BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN, THATS NOT GOOD. TRAGGIC FOR THEM. IF ITS TRUE.
BUT, ANYONE THAT WOULD STAY WITH THAT WITCH (KATE) HAS LOST THEIR MIND. SHES A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A CHRISTIAN AND MOTHER AND WIFE. THIS SHOW WAS TO BE ABOUT THE 8 CHILDREN. KATE HAS MADE IT ABOUT HER. NO ONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT HER. THE NEW HOUSE...HER QUOTE " MY HOUSE"
WHY JON HAS NOT DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, IS BEYOND ME.
THOSE POOR KIDS. god, FORBID THEY GET DIRT ON THEM. god forbid they actually are allowed to play and dare get paint, dirt, etc on them. KATES EXCUSE IS RIDICULOUS. SO THE HELL WHAT IF THEY HAVE STAINS. ALL THOSE POOR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO GROW UP...ALL SCREWED UP..BECAUSE OF KATE. AND YES, THEY BOTH ARE EXPLOITING THEM FOR THEIR OWN GAIN.
I HOPE SOON, THE WITCH GETS A TASTE OF REALITY...THERE ARE TOO MANY THAT CAN'T STAND HER..FOR THIS TO GO ON. HER LOUSY EXCUSE...ABOUT HER BEHAVIOR BEING " NO ONE ELSE HAS TO GO THRU WHAT SHE GOES THRU" THATS TOTAL BS. ANYONE WATCH 18 AND COUNTING? I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT MOTHER EVER CONDUCT HERSELF LIKE KATE. DEGRADING HER HUSBAND, CORRECTING HIS GRAMMAR....ETC. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THE WITCH....IN THEIR OPENING BULL CRAP...ITS NOT " R " LIFE. ITS OUR....WHY DOESNT JON CORRECT HER ON THAT. SHE CONTRADICTS HERSELF EVERY SHOW. WHEN SHE DOES SOMETHING STUPID...AND JON POINTS IT OUT...SHE HAS A MELT DOWN....SHE SURE AS HECK DOESNT MIND..CONSTANTLY CRITICIZING JON, BUT, OH HELL NO...DONT CRITICIZE HER...OR POINT OUT HER DEFECTS...GEEEEEEZ I CANT STAND HER....
pjd
Agree w/most all here except the amazing folks who think we are jealous of Kate. Why would anyone be jealous of a mean, selfish utterly crazy woman? She gives me chills. Jon is a mere spineless serf with a certain privilege I'll bet he has to suffer for.
Among the highlights of this show:
Remember the little boy who had to sit on the potty until he went while "Mommy Dearest" turned the light off and closed the door on him. Several people mentioned the poor sick little boy who was punished for throwing up by having to lay on the cold laundryroom floor with no covers on. All the while his mother, THE NURSE, was yelling, bellyaching, pretending to gag and making faces about cleaning up the throwup. Some bedside manner.
Her insults, rantings, shrieking, yelling, bragging about herself and the fact that mostly she does absolutely nothing but stand around and boss is nearly as repulsive as her constant victimhood.
Notice how she says "we decided" about everything and looks at Jon. That means she decided and he had better agree. If she doesn't rule the roost all hell breaks out and she is relentless.
It is also sad that Hannah is the only child she really likes and oddly, Maddy, who is her emotional twin. Why is Maddy never corrected for her mean treatment of her siblings? We watched while she was kicking and slapping one of the little ones who was sitting down and trying to avoid the punishment. Why was she not punished when she came home from school, smart talking, slamming doors, kicking things - no she was allowed to watch TV by herself. She and her mother need someone to straighten them out.
As for Kate's almost maniacle yapping about organic food - why does she not give those kids milk to drink and eggs and oatmeal?
She said early on she only buys milk when she has coupons. Am I the only one who has never heard of milk coupons? She gives those kids that phony juice, dry cereal and sticky buns and other junk. Are they organic?
Kate rambles, repeats, uses words that have inappropriate meaning for the sentence, laughs at her own idiotic jokes , says cruel and unfeeling things to and about her family and, in general, is beyond awful.
When the show or part of it is about Jon, she pouts, insults, interrupts. Talk about jealousy! If the camera is not on her she steps in. If someone else is talking she takes over the conversation.
I agree with most of those on this post, the show is not about the 8 anymore at all - its The Kate Show. And, notice she is appearing more and more on other shows without Jon. It isn't Jon who will leave - its Showbiz Kate.
Kate is a perfect example of not being able to tell a book by its cover. She is very pretty outside and very ugly inside.
Shanna
So apparently Jon has been seen out kissing and partying with a bunch of college girls lately. Apparently he has been living with his mother for a while now. I will be sad for the kids if he leaves, but Kate deserves it after the way she treated him. Who's ready for Jon - 9? theres an article about it on http://www.evilbeetgossip.film.com
Peggy
I love this family and have watched every episode at least once. I'm relieved to see that this frustration about Kate is not just me. I will watch to see the episode to see Kate go to therapy. Her abuse of Jon is inexcusable over the years. He blows it off but to be ridiculed for breathing is over and beyond. She has even admitted in the early years that she needs therapy so GO GET IT.
Kate needs to realize that nobody is perfect and until she sees her horrible flaws, she will never get better and neither will her family.
Peggy
They NEVER exploited those children for their own gain. GET OVER IT. They showed us in the beginning what having a family of mulitples was like and we all wondered and watched and grew to love them. It wasn't until Kate showed her mental flaws that we questioned this. And now with the UBER mental octomom .......there is NOOOOOO comparison.
Kellie
I have a solution. Jon moves out...............OctoMom moves in with Kate. They are both mental and have the same issues. They can support each other and stop feeling they are entitled. The world does not owe you because of mad medicine!
Kellie
Whoops..................I meant bad medicine not mad medicine!
Anne Burke
When we FIRST were 'exposed' to Kate & Jon HE admitted he did NOT want to have any more children but she kept AT him and AT him and she was SO money hungry and was TRYING to have huge multiples - it was SO obvious. Remember the Kiesnest Quints in NJ? She already HAD a daughter 18 months and son 9 months and she made SURE every NY news station monitored her EVERY move. the husband was VERY much like Jon - no job, no motivation. Kate REFUSED to accept gifts from her father's church (he is a minister) b/c they weren't MATCHING or NEW. Not only does she not speak with her PARENTS but she doesn't speak with any of her siblings - but she DID USE her brother's wife, Jodi, and USED over and over and then SPIT HER OUT and the same with Jon's bosses wife - used her and now Kate doesn't NEED her. The daughter is OBNOXIOUS and Kate preaches she is SUCH a wonderful Christian belonging to a NEW church - not her father's denomination - where they say to 'spare the rod and spoil the child' so WHY are they SPARRING the rod? The kid belongs on the SAME couch with the mother. They are THE most obnoxious, money-hungry, rude, self-centered family I have EVER seen. WHAT does TLC see in them? Oh, well, yes, those rumors, but..... Give us something better!
CB
I heard Kate was hungry and they had to groceries so she just ate Jon for dinner. She is a CANNIBAL!
pjd
There ought to be a law against Kate, her mother's-helper, Jon, and their cult-followers who constantly come up with "..walk a mile in her shoes" alibi from ever being able to utter a word in any media again.
Kate is now at the place where she is traveling to various media and "business" events while mother's helper, Jon, stays at home taking care of the kids. Kate is show-biz! Actually she is star/overseer. She shows up to see her underlings now and then but mostly has to travel and allow her fans to fawn over her. Also, she must give advice on how other people should raise their children and how she did it all herself - no one helped her and how she suffered.
pjd
P.S. Notice there is only one member of the original TV crew left? Seems to be a constant turnover. Wish one or more would write a book.
Karen
I've posted before about KateZilla, I think she has gotten to big for her pants, why do I continue to watch the show then? I guess you could say "curiosity killed the cat?" I'm not a fan of Jon's; but to see the way KZ treats him, it's ridiculous and somewhat sad. I watched the infamous "getting new dogs" episode, IF she was so against getting them, then WHY??? Even her son (don't remember his name?) was walking around the breeders yard saying he didn't like dogs, did Kate not hear this or see his reactions??? Or was she too busy "acting" like she was interested in getting free puppies and the camera in her face, if we were going to get a pet, and any of my children (5) had a problem, I would most certainly have reservations about getting that pet, this woman has exploited her children, for those out there to say she hasn't, ask yourself, would she have a reality show for just about her alone, w/ out the "two set of multiples" factor? No, she would be just another married woman in PA who happens to work as a nurse, those kids made her a household name, not her alone, she was just the carrier of that many children! She enjoys the perks of getting free things, vacations, etc....now her living in a million plus dollar house! Me, jealous? Hardly, what I do feel is sorry for those kids, deep down she might love them, but that's not what come's across as "love" on the show, it's like their the puppies, they are messing, a waste of time, let someone else raise them...I could go on..but I'm done wasting my time watching this show, the poor dog going to the vet was enough! Let KZ crash & burn...eventually her spotlight will fade out, and the freebie and perks will dry up, she'll lose that million dollar house and hopefully her husband...and she'll have 8 kids that hate her for exploiting them..and she'll be alone, b/c she had alienated everyone who has helped her through the stress of raising multiples...poor Katezilla! NOT!
pjd
I noticed Showbiz Diva Kate does not allow airing of any footage showing her smacking Jon the Lacky in the face this season. That is how to solve abhorent behavior problems - not by stopping it but by hiding it.
Please, members of the original crew who have left (all but one) please write a book about this "interesting" mob.
rainbowtourist
It was my husband that noticed how often Kate hit John, after that we started to keep track..it's awful of me to say that I detest a child but I'd hate to see what they have to edit out on Mady seeing as she has a hissy fit on almost every episode now. Only Kate would ruin picking up the puppies..she presented the puppies to the children, already named, she's the one that hopped into the kennel first and picked the dog she wanted and yes, if you have a child that's afraid of dogs, do you really need two german shepherds? The final straw for me was the show when John took the kids to the Phillies game...Kate was so condescending and unappreciative, it was hard to watch. Now with this new home there will be even more isolation for those kids...I'm guessing neither Cara or Mady has ever been invited to a sleep over. They only play with each other..god help the kindergarten teacher. Wish someone would refresh my memory but has there ever been a show when the kids had a friend over? Before at least they had a chance as it looked like they lived in a neighborhood..now..it's just them and two dogs...I also thought it was cruel to make comments about the cleanliness of the person who owned their house before John and Kate..it's okay if you're just complaining to yourself about how the previous occupants left the house but to complain about them on tv was really just cruel.
Martina
I have watched a few episodes of this show, I can't stand Kate! I find her as annoying as her daughter Mady, I know children can whine (yes I have 3) but she seems like a spoiled control attention seeking freak (kind of like mom) the recent show, when they went to see the new house for the first time with the kids; and she was in her room w/ one of the seps (can't remember the little girls name) and she was kicking the crap out of the poor little thing, especially in the kidney area; and the response the little girl got from Kate, "well you should stay out of her room" (or something to that effect). She is quick to put the seps in time out, but I don't think I have ever seen the twins in time out? Especially Mady, I have seen Cara throw a tantrum when they had their Memorial Day picnic and they were at the ice cream place. The way Kate yells at Jon, when they are in public and he wonders off or is talking to others. She is SO annoying...I don't know if children made her that way or she was always that way? Thank God she is not a practicing nurse, I would hate to see her bedside manner with patient's?!? I've stopped watching this show, I enjoyed watching the Seps. grow, but the novelty of them have worn off...I fear the Sep. girls are becoming little KateZilla's and the boys are little Jon's, soon to be berated and hit by their sisters...poor children!
Angel
I'm the youngest of ten kids, our father died when I was 4, leaving my mom a single mother and we all turned out very well. Of course she had her stressful moments dealing with all of us, its a wonder she's still sane but overall my mom has never lacked showing us love, affection, and concern so when I hear Kate bitch and moan it angers me. If she has all this extra help and not to mention her husband, she should take it all in stride since this is what she wanted, instead she acts like these little ones are more of a burden than a blessing. The whole "love offering" thing is what's really infuriating, there are everyday people out there who could use the $20 to buy groceries to feed their entire instead of fueling Kate's greed. I used to watch the show because the kids are so cute but it became annoying due to Kate's constant negativity, I've never heard her say anything positive or remotely kind and loving to any one of her family members. It's quite sad really, at least her 15 minutes of fame is coming to an end.
PSR
I am done with this show. Used to LOVE it...but now it is over the top. SO tired of Kate and now the lack of realness. I also can't stand Kate's hair!! What is with that long flap of hair on the right side??? Pick a length and stick with it...I can't stand it! If they have all this money now she needs to go to a real hairstylist and get a real hair cut...it is awful.
Rachel
Obviously kate is not perfect!! Is there anyone who is?!? But she clearly loves her children anyone who can not get that obviously is just looking for the bad! And how is it so obvious that they pretend to eat organic food? Besides that, if they don't, does it really bother you.....? I feel like there is a lot more horrible things in the world to be bothered by..... but that's just me! The whole Jodi issue is ridiculous!! That is between family! None of us can know or understand the whole situation!! I agree that Kate needs to work on patience, a lot! But in reality we all have something we need to work on and rather than criticize her couldn't we try helping her or pray for her and her children!?
monkey
Does kate gosselin LIKE to clean; i need a good nanny!
Brian
I used to like the show,but lately Im starting to hate it! Jon is probably the nicest guy you could ever meet, and the kids (with the exception of Mady who needs a really good spanking) are great! Kate on the other hand could probably benefit from a good spanking too. The way she belittles Jon on national TV is mind blowing. Jon if you are reading this, a word of advice buddy RUN! Give her half, take the kids, and get out of there! you don't have to take that crap! You can call next season Jon minus Kate plus 8! And Kate if youre reading this, I hope that my poor spelling,and bad punctuation dont push you off the deep-end.

Narcissism - Mayo Clinic
Definition
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. They believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships and in other areas of their life, such as work or school. In particular, narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by dramatic, emotional behavior, in the same category as histrionic, antisocial and borderline personality disorders. Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around psychotherapy.
NEXT:
Symptoms
Symptoms
Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:
Believing that you're better than others
Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
Exaggerating your achievements or talents
Expecting constant praise and admiration
Believing that you're special
Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings
Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
Taking advantage of others
Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
Being jealous of others
Believing that others are jealous of you
Trouble keeping healthy relationships
Setting unrealistic goals
Being easily hurt and rejected
Having a fragile self-esteem
Appearing as tough-minded or unemotional
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.
When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may also seek out others you think have the same special talents, power and qualities — people you see as equals. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — the best car, athletic club, medical care or social circles, for instance.
But underneath all this grandiosity often lies a very fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation. And in order to make yourself feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and efforts to belittle the other person to make yourself appear better.
Causes
It's not known what causes narcissistic personality disorder. As with other mental disorders, the cause is likely complex. Some evidence links the cause to a dysfunctional childhood, such as excessive pampering, extremely high expectations, abuse or neglect. Other evidence points to genetics or psychobiology — the connection between the brain and behavior and thinking.
When to seek medical advice
When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may not want to think that anything could be wrong — doing so wouldn't fit with your self-image of power and perfection. But by definition, narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of your life, such as relationships, work, school or your financial affairs. You may be generally unhappy and confused by a mix of seemingly contradictory emotions. Others may not enjoy being around you, and you may find your relationships unfulfilling. If you notice any of these problems in your life, consider reaching out to a trusted health care provider or mental health provider. Getting the right treatment can help make your life more rewarding and enjoyable.
JAX
Offer me all the money in the world and I still wouldn't come home to a wife like that. Jon, step up and take control of your wife and kids. Please TLC..........no more!!!!!
Martika
This show is just awful, yet it is hard not to watch...like a bad accident on the highway, your mind tells you not to look, but human nature says to see what's going on. I totally agree about Kate's mentally instability...the way she talks to Jon, the kids & hell even the dogs...I am going to watch the season finale and find out what the mysterious ending is going to be..TLC is making it seem like things have come to a head with their marriage, but it probably something really stupid, now you know TLC isn't going to let anything happen to that cash cow, oops I mean Kate! She is a witchy woman who should NEVER have been allowed on t.v...one nice thing I will say about Kate is she isn't openly greedy like that Octochic in Cali! I also agree about KrazyKate's hair, is she seriously trying to start a new fashion trend??? It reminds me of something the 80's group, Flock of Seagulls tried to pull off...the 80's called they want their hair back Kate! She looks better as a brunette, the big streaks of blonde are just plain trashy...and yes I am a hair dresser...so I can say it! lol @ KrazzzzyKate minus Jon n 8...lol!
erika
First off... I used to LOVE this show. When it first started, you could really feel the love in the family. Now... its a big disaster. Kate treats her children like CRAP... except for perfect Hannah of course. If you need further evidence of this... you don't need to look any further than one of the most recent episodes where Kate is busy cleaning her fridge for 4 hours and pays no attention to any of the children... even the poor boy who ended up pooping on the floor because she wouldn't go help him. =( Leaving a sick kid on the cold floor in the laundry room?!? Do you not own a couch??? Couldn't you at least move his mattress somewhere so the poor kid could be comfortable???
Second.... I just want to say to all the people defending Kate about her receiving free stuff. Of course we all would love to get free stuff.... but I'm pretty sure 99.99% of us would also be grateful!! She seems to dismiss it as though she's entitled to it. I'm not talking about company stuff because they've got something worked out with the company. I'm talking about stuff that people have personally made and sent them out of the goodness of their heart. The banner for their birthday, the endless amounts of t-shirts and personalized clothing... DOESN'T SOMEONE DESERVE A THANK YOU?!?
I truely hope that someone knocks that B**** off her high horse because one day REAL reality will set in and she's gonna lose her freakin' mind!!
Heather
This show doesn't seem real anymore. I noticed they haven't showed much of the outside of the house and when I saw it on-line and the price, I was shocked. This isn't the average american family with a bunch of kids anymore. Kate use to go to work at the start of the show then she stopped and Jon was working. Now he doesn't... must be nice! Most people have to bust their butt to get where their at. Just one more thing... Kate's hair drives me crazy... I just want to reach into the tv and cut it!
Krystal
OMG, Heather, I completely agree with you! And everyone else on this site (minus the "leave Kate alone!!" posts) for that matter. I find myself wanting to reach through the TV screen to either strangle her or thin out that massive fluff of hair she has on the right side of her head. As a hairstylist, it's SOOO hard to pay attention to what she's saying with that as a distraction LOL! I think they should make her & Jon abide by the same "making up" rules that they lay out for their kids. She should go up to him, give him a hug & kiss on the cheek and look him in the eyes and say "I'm sorry for being such a [beep]" LOL now I would LOOOOVE to watch that. But of course, that is beneath her....she's *never* wrong. I'll be surprised if at least two of those kids isn't on the show "Intervention" one day. I just feel so bad for the children....Lord only knows what damage she has caused all of them. She needs to stop traveling, telling other people how to be a parent, and get into some parenting classes herself. Who ever said this woman was the end-all-be-all in parenting, should be shot. Anyway, thanks for letting me rant! (oh yeah, P.S. I live in North Carolina..THANK GOODNESS she didn't move here!! I was so annoyed when I heard they might.)
Barb
What you have is two parents who have gotten away from what is really important and that is the kids & family life that they so wanted:
Kate: fame, popularity has been sucked in that tiny brain of hers and that's all she can think about...the show's mainly about the kids dear, NOT you & your self centered boo hoo ways!
Jon: DUDE you are in serious need of some balls! You either lost them when the Seps were born or you never had them to begin w/. You are disconnected from your family, looking back now don't you wish you would have done "selective abortion". I know that seems harsh, but isn't divorce just as bad to kids!
These two children need to grow up, turn off the camera's, you've made enough money, and get back to what your family was before all of J&K+8 show's...it's NEVER too late...but IF those camera's stay on, NO amount of editing will make you look like a perfect family, the camera doesn't lie!
Jay
The big surprise ending will be gettingn rid of the dogs....they would never talk about their marriage on TV and although they may have been separated recently, I am sure their marriage is fine. If I were Jon, I'd put my foot down and tell her to be home more often these days but then again, we are talking about Jon.
I recently watched the Where it all Began, the episode that talks about the very beginning, before children. What a difference but now Take (Kate) is so very different and down right mean!@!!!!!!
Adrianna
If you think Kate is a beyotch on the show, she's even worse when the cameras are off and she's in public. I pity Jon so much. She belittles and humiliates him. When they were in Toys R Us was the worst example of public humiliation toward Jon. Jon is a saint putting up with her. I don't think she's a good mother, in fact I think she is the equivalent of Mommy Dearest. The point where I totally despised her was the gum episode. She freaked out about a little gum on a sock or two AND when she wanted to throw out the blankie and her son was crying saying "but he's my buddy" I wanted to smack her upside the head and tell her to lighten the hell up. She was rude to the woman who was kind enough to babysit for her.
I love the kids and Jon, but I can't stand how Mady is such a brat ... a chip off her Mommy's block. That girl is going to have a hard road ahead of her if she doesn't get her attitude under control. Perhaps her and her mother can live together and let Jon and the other kids lives a normal life.
I enjoy the show because the kids are cute, but I cringe when she rips Jon a new butt whole. I can literally see his testicles jump inside his body when she berates him. Watching her is like a train wreck ... it's horrible but I have to watch, but the more I see of her the more I cannot stand her. She needs a reality check ... she's NOT a celebrity, she's just a mother who has 8 kids. Her choice ... and there are plenty of large families who don't get all the handouts (then treat people like crap).
Leslie
I watching the season finale last night, Kate didn't seem thrilled about going to the Globetrotters game, she called it "stupid fun" she is so fake, if only she could see it! You know damn well there is going to be a season 5, TLC & KateZilla are not going to let that cash cow die anytime soon, fuck Jon, make him suffer even more, as far as their new "helper" who doesn't want to be seen on camera, please, she takes care of the kids, what would you call her??? Kate said "we will never have a nanny!" well what was the agency she used alot??? Nanny helpers, or something like that, I think her lies are starting to come around full circle, and when Jon said he was at his mom's house b/c she broke her foot, that wasn't truthful, and did anyone else notice that the kids repeated "dad's at his mom's house" why didn't they call her grandma? Is she another victim of Steam Roller Kate???? Not allowed to be in her grandchildren's life??? I hope they don't come back on, this bitch is delusional IF she thinks that she is this celebrity, just like the Octomom, it is a joke, so you popped out alot of kids, my grandmother had 21, where's her fame & fortune??? Go home Kate, take some meds, and be a real mother to your children! It's not too late!
Darcy
I was just got done watching the show and the only thing I really noticed was how kate bitches about EVERYTHING!! I also wish Jon would grow some balls and stand up to her. I hate how she treats him and her kids...she doesnt deserve to be a mother. To me she acts like its a huge burden if it wasnt for the kids she wouldnt have the life she does, I think she should be a little more grateful for all the "freebies" she gets and now that HUGE HOUSE!.
out west
After doing much surfing I read that this was TLC's MOST POPULAR show with 3.5 M viewers, and had done wonders for its viewership. It said this channel likes to show controversy and they certainly do with this show, and the antics of Kate and Jon. In the season finale he said he wants to be just Jon, and not J+K +8, but I guess he doesn't realize he sold his rights to privacy when he signed up for 4 seasons of being on tv. I guess if he were just Jon then he could be snogging as many young women he wanted and it wouldn't be in all of the papers, oh Pleasssseeee, such a role model.....meanwhile his wife is getting paid for her unenlightened speaking engagements. Hopefully this sham of a show will end soon, it is beyond pathetic. BTW he had a big bruise on his forehead, maybe Kate bopped him one!! The ones that I pity are the children.
Joyce
Have you seen TLC's newer show "Table for 12?" This family has ten children, and they are so normal and relaxed, and the mom is so human... If they are as real as they look, they show that it can be done, you can raise that many children in a normal well adjusted household and you DON'T have to be like Kate!
Joyce
Oh and I forgot to mention... My prediction is, they are going to be in that big new house they got, and all of the children are still going to be crowded around in the kitchen trying to talk to Kate, and soon enough, she's going to be complaining about space again.
Lori
The info on narcissitic personality was dead on kate. Amazing! Every word of it describes her perfectly! I do hope for the sake of her children and marriage she gets help. I have only watched the show a few times and usually not in its entirety. Its so repulsive that i cant subject myself to it for long. I dont believe anyone on this site is jealous. There is nothing on that show to b jealous of. I dont care if they get gifts or that fans of the show provide the children w the 'gifts from santa'-kate actually went on their website to tell people what to send them!-wtf??? Also Its the expectant and ungrateful attitude that kate shows when they are given stuff. Noone's jealous!!! Its the ungratefullness that makes ur skin crawl. Get the kids off the tv and let them live a normal l
Can't sleep, but needed to comment
I have watched the show since the beginning, and i liked it a lot. Then little by little i started to realize how much Kate was being a bitch, she yelled and teased the kids. i want to cry so bad when my son cries and he's one year and 7 mths when he falls and all she can do is stand and say, you're ok, stand up and be a big boy. when i see her and she's yelling, i want to go up to her and slap her sorry ass and ask what the hell is wrong with her. Milking those poor babies is not enough? them making thousands of dollars while you sit on your ass and just do nothing is worth all the humiliation you set your kids up for? SORRY TLC, BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Lily
I stopped watching the show because of Kate. I even sent her a nasty email, don't think they would be reading that on the air. lol Even hubby says she is a really beotch! I know I can be a bit snarky with my hubby but not to the point of making him feel like a child! That woman surely needs some medications. Imagine how she is when they have sex. NO Jon, not like that! NO Jon what are you doing? LOL
Essielou
I too stopped watching the show because of Kate. She's not someone who I want to spend my evenings with, kids are no.....
But watching how purely rude, cruel and ugly she is towards her husband and what a rotten mother she is towards her kids makes me all the more determined to avoid her.
If there is true justice in the world....Jon leaves her and the show is cancelled.
Lily
Oh and don't get me started on that Maddy! A little Kate in the making!
Sandi
Kate acts like Jon's mother.
How attractive must he find that.
Bet that part of their marriage went
to hell years ago.
what a nag she is.
He's such a pussy to put up with it.
sickening. She's no more than
a drill Sargent. Not a wife or mother.
Kathryn
What I detest about Kate Gosselin is one thing, and one thing only. She's one ungrateful, overbearing, insensitive, controlling, nagging, complaining, nasty person.
Ok, that was more than one thing.....
Seriously, she's horrible
I say bullcrap to her being OCD - she's too lazy to have OCD
The personality, the core, of this creature is horrendous
Amber
To all of you that HATE Kate SO MUCH.... Why don't you try having your lives filmed!!! YES they do it for money... SO WHAT. I would, if I could, and everyone else would too. Never judge until you have walked a mile in their shoes... And last time I checked no one is being forced to watch the show, if you hate it....TURN IT OFF... It's just that easy people.
Kathryn
now, now, calm down......this is a blog, don't forget. Don't come unglued just because someone doesn't agree with you
Debch58
Everytime I see this show advertised, nope don't watch it anymore thanks to Kate, but I have to think about when those babies were born and they had nothing. People from all across this wonderful country who had little or nothing themselves, found a way to do the right thing and reach out to help. I feel like what they are doing is a slap in the face to everyone who tried to help. How could that be a slap you ask? Little ol ladies living on fixed incomes did without so they could send $5 only to see the family go on all expense paid trips all over the country, having vacations most people only dream of. They get to go behind the scenes and do things, get freebies, get, get, get.
But most of all it's Kate's attitude. NOTHING is ever good enough for her. My mother was a cleaner. She let lots of my life slip by because she HAD to have a perfect house, without a spec of dust. I swore I would never do that to my child, and I'm proud to say that was able to enjoy my child, and to have a real relationship with him. We have memories. I am also proud to say that NO ONE ON EARTH has ever seen me treat my husband as she treats Jon. Not that my husband would take it. LOL! I am just a very strong believer that to expect respect, you have to give respect, and she shows NO ONE respect.
The sad thing. In just a blink of an eye those babies will be adults, she will have missed out on their childhood. More than that, she will find her kids as adults, who are rich in their own right by the books they will write, don't come around, and she will be single because she will be divorced. Alone. Enjoy it now Kate, your day is coming. And a sad, sad day it will be.
Jon... GROW SOME BALLS! Kate... PLEASE do something with your hair! Maddy, oh please.... that child needs disapline. Lots of it. Instead Kate says don't give up on her. Seems as though she has, that she lets Maddy have 2nd in command for ruling the roost. If she really cared she would get her counseling.
Enjoy your big fancy house Kate, while the people who strugled to help you along the way do without.
And one last thing, I really think that Kate is one of those people who is just not happy unless they are unhappy.
Kathryn
Oh boy Debch 58 you hit the nail on the head: Kate Gosselin IS one of those people who is happiest being unhappy!!
I think I could have tolerated their greediness a bit more if only they had displayed some gratitude, and I mean SINCERE gratitude, not the monotone speech HRH occassionally delivers on the couch of where she says how 'grateful' they are.....oh, sure ya are Katie!!!
Kate has essentially neutered her husband. He sits there and takes her abuse like the village idiot. 'Mad Maddie' is following in her mama's footsteps. Seriously, I wouldn't let that child alone with her younger siblings, I still remember when she was repeatedly kicking one of the tups. She obviously has issues that need to be addressed but we all know that'll never happen.
I'm done with this sham of a reality show - and to think it used to be one of my favorites. I've gone from admiration to total disgust. Gosselin's: you've overstayed your welcome. Time to go....
Kathryn
And to Karen Newton: I thought I was the only one who thought KG seemed a bit gay. Her butch 'do' and her lack of femininity, hmmmmm
And btw, just because she's married and with kids doesn't mean jack crap
ananke
Aren't they embarrassed at how obviously ridiculous they have become?
Jon & Kate are so far from who they were when they started allowing TLC to film their family as they "really" lived in their home raising their twins and sextuplets. Or are they --over time-- really just revealed as the greedy, entitled, bumbling, ungrateful, pseudo-Christian, pompous, nouveau-riche people they have always actually been?
It is difficult to imagine being as obtuse as they must be to NOT see how ridiculous they have become all while being filmed. The lack of introspection and self-examination boggles my mind.
Although I have to say that their EXTERNAL transformation has been an amazing journey into the land of the ultra-superficial--wow. ::Tummy-tuck, professional physical trainer, regular spa visits, massages, hair transplants, cosmetic dentistry, foils foils foils!, getting professionally tanned, professional dresser-buyer, etc...
All this in a few years while publicly presenting themselves as a "real" family...it is truly amazing.
After originally watching out of curiosity and genuine interest, I am now disgusted at their blatant arrogance and obvious greed. I no longer look. It has become too much. These people are ridiculous. Their life is ridiculous. They absolutely belong on a network that airs programs about Pageant moms and kids. Perhaps that is where they will end up. At very least, it would be more honest than what they show now.
Meh.
Lisa
I was a huge fan of the show, but this new season is the pits. Kate is out of control. She was so rude in the last show about going green. She was freaking out because she had people outside her house, installing solar panels. I don't think I saw her smile once. She's an absolute snob. I think I'm about done with the show.
Nancy
I used to love the show and I am not "about done" - I am done! Kate is very mean spirited and why should I waste my valuable spare time to watch "that"? I went from watching the show every Monday night, along with ALL of the reruns during the week to not watching it at all in over a month! And I don't miss it! Kate stopped showing any interest in the couch interviews so why should I waste my time watching a miserable person?
But - seriously, try the new TLC show "Table of 12". It has taken Jon and Kate's spot and hopefully it will stay there! It's great. The parents are SO NICE and LOVING and CARING of the children and of each other. Now this is a show that you will walk away with a good feeling, not a bad one!
TLC should NOT renew The Gosselin's contract. Have you noticed that the Producers and camera and sound crew have changed also?
Marcy
I loved your post because it's so and I'm totally annoyed at the same exact things.
Did you see the "Green Project" episode? She was extra bitchy that day wasn't she. She just seems so darn irritated at everyone and everything. What's her problem? Can't be money that's for sure!
Debch58
I just wonder if they have stocked some of their money away (I would hope some of went into accounts for the kids when they are adults since they are what the show is about, but I'm guessing Kate get's to say how every single penny is spent) or if they have spent every cent. If so, they will be in a world of hurt just as soon as the show is cancled... hopefully soon. How will Kate ever live without being kept in the manner she has come to love so much.
I too have fallen in love with table for 10. They are SUCH a great family! They treat each other with so much respect, they take it as it is, life, and they let the kids be kids. All that AND they have a disabled child. Kate could never handle a disablity. She can't stand letting them be kids and get ice cream on their hands.
Such a sad, sad life they lead, and she keeps saying they are SO blessed. I have news for her, I have been dirt poor in my adult life, due to things I had no control over. But we were ALWAYS blessed. We had each other, we had love, and we had a sense a humor.
pjd
Found at another site. Am still laughing. Cruel Kate, R.N. ruins another family with her serpent tongue, husband slapping, shrieking, etc. She will be even more exhausted!
Judith Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 12:24 AM EST
...BUT the real news is...there's a rumour..Kate might do the "WIFE SWAP SHOW"...which means, if you and your Better Half volunteer real quick, maybe you'll get the chance to spend a week with Kate!!!!
Oh, Steven, won't that be wonderful, to be with KATE, 24/7, for 7 days and receive a heaping-helping of the same treatment she gives to Jon...(Better stock up on the Anti-Depressants and headache remedies. I think you're gonna need them!)..lol
Tracey
I love the fact that in one episode she was worried about them having grass stains on their pants for rolling down a hill but would let them run on benches that they could have easily flipped over and cracked their skulls..this woman needs serious meds..she is a joke
Mom
What happened to the kids being normal? When it was their specail days, most of them had no other kids or people around. Cara rolling skating, the only people in the place were Kate, Jon, and Cara. Yes Cara this is normal, you pay this much $$$ and you too can have the place to yourself. I enjoyed he kids when they were small but now just boring. Oh we got dogs, Oh we got bigger house, that the kids deserve, no Kate deserves --- take the tummy tuck, take the Hawaii trip, take the ski trips, that is all normal kids - Jon, run and take the kids with you, they will be better off. I think the new show should be Jon minus Kate plus 8. TLC move on
Mam
People in Pennsylvania were very happy when J+K+8 took off. Before that Jon was an unemployed hubby with a shrew of a wife demanding the state do more and more for her family. When she took the state to court demanding more full time nurses after the state denied her second extension because nurses were needed by other children who were indeed sick, that did it for the public. There she was in the court saying since science made it possible for her to have so many children, it was the state's responsibility to pay for them. So after the Governor established a fund for all eigh children to go to college, after the state gave Jon a job , after the community chipped in and modified her house, after 150 people signed up for special red cross courses learning how to help Kate's brood, after one year of having a dedicated onsight nurse (Kate's a nurse too) in addition to all of the volunteers. After all this and Kate's complaining for everything, oh the donated cribs didn't match, oh the job is too far so after all those folks built additions to their house for free she asked for a second house closer to the donated job for Jon. After the complaints that the volunteers were annoying because she had to explain everything to them and she insisted she still needed a nurse for free at least half/time. Pennsylvania said enough and started to ignore her. So Kate took her whining national.
She's a true narcissist and Jon is likely a co-dependent passive agressive. Yeah, he's younger then her and probably bought her BS when they got married at 23 and she immediately started getting fertility treatments for her supposed infertility. Something no credible doctor does for a woman under 30 unless she has been trying for at least a year.
Kate is just plain crazy and to see her now in her 1.8 mio dollar house, her show that brings in half a mil a year, her books, her 40 stop /year speaking engagement. I'm surprised she doesn't inspire a whole army of octomoms!
Debch58
The more I read the more I wonder why she doesn't just come out say that these kids are a career to her now. It appears as though she just flys in long enough to do her show and then leaves again to go to book signings or speaking engagements. Watch the kids and really pay attention. They are NOT at the level they should be. They don't speak right, they don't write letters, they never practice colors or numbers. Jon is trying to take care of everything while she is off to her next adventure.
But wait.... who is watching the kids while Jon is out at the nightclubs? This family is SO disfunctional. It will be so interesting to see these kids as they get older, to see what decisions they make. Maybe they will decide to stay right where they are in that big house, after all, it's for them, it's what THEY deserve you know! And I'm sorry, maybe it's just the part of the country it's in, but I could buy a much nicer house for 1.2 million. And if she had purchased it from me, I would slap a lawsuit on her so fast for the crap she said about them and how dirty they were.
There are WONDERFUL families out there and she is giving them all a bad name. The Duggers, they take care of themselves, they show love, they RESPECT each other, they care for others. Table for 12. Same thing, they show so much love and respect, they HELP one another. BOTH families support each other, love each other, laugh together, they are normal, they care.
Kate needs to go. Jon needs to go. The kids need to be shown love and support. Maybe MAYBE if the show is taken away from them they will show some stabiltiy to those kids.
I don't think I could live where I was always being told no, don't, get this, get that, sit in the corner, don't be a kid.
Sad, sad, sad.
Wake up Kate, it's SO not all about you!
felicia
I hate Kate she is a organic snub and a horrible wife and she just sucks at being a human she sucks the life and fun out of everything she is near. I love you jon i feel sorry for you and your cute kids.
felicia
Oh yeah and her hair is NASTY change it Kate that look is done.
Christine
My prediction for this family? These kids are going to grow up and write tell-all books about the embarrassment and degradation these parents have subjected these children to. Can you imagine going to school knowing that other classmates can go onto the Internet and re-watch your potty training?
Oh, and another prediction: Jon will definitely be gone eventually... as soon as he grows a set of balls.
I truly wish TLC would take this show away for good... I really believe these so-called "reality" shows are becoming a huge disservice to society. Why these networks keep choosing to reward irresponsible behavior over and over again is beyond logic. I think OctoMom is a direct example of the mentality these shows have created.
I swear, if I hear this bitch complain one more time from her million-dollar home with her free tucked-tummy and her post-vacation tan I will vomit. I am a working Mom and I haven't had a vacation in over 12 years. My husband is currently unemployed also, NOT out of choice but because his company just laid him off after five years! Nobody helps me with my laundry, in fact, I don't even have a washer and dryer. Or a dishwasher. We pay rent for a small one-bedroom apartment and my daughter doesn't know what it is like to have her own room or backyard. I have been driving the same crappy car for over ten years. I cannot afford to go to a salon, I have to color my own hair at home. You'd cry if you saw my bills... I could go on and on, but my point is this: If I had what Kate Gosselin has I would shut the fuck up and count my blessings every damn day.
Kate
Please just back off! Jon and I will make this work. I love my hair
tabitha
I too use to like this show in the beginning but now Kate feels as if she deserves this for her kids, B.S. it is for her and her alone, she is living through her kids, living the life she once dreamed of as a kid, I think she is smothering all 8 of them...it's funny how in the beginning she would let the camera's almost anywhere around the kids, now she won't let the camera's in their rooms, for privacy reasons; but hey let's show a camera in our little girls face while they are sitting on a potty chair, which in my opinion is no better than someone looking at child porn on the computer, she is exploiting the children, physically, mentally & socially...if Jon had balls before the marriage, they must have gotten kicked up in him, I mean look at how he is acting while she is out on these book tours??? Isn't that when he has been caught acting like a college boy? TLC is the pimp and they have become the whores, it's sad and pathetic and a damn shame that there is another season coming out soon...I know I won't be watching...I can't stand seeing children abused....
kim jones
All this hate, just stop watching and see how long Kate last. Band together, boycott the show. TLC is no better, it's not a show about the kids anymore. Hasn't been for sometime. It's the Kate show. Kate this and Kate that. Let's stop watching.
Iddybite
I lost it when Kate took pictures of her children's first poop in a potty. You keep your kids first shoes, teddy bear, a lock of hair from their first haircut, maybe even their first tooth that they lose, but you don't make a keepsake out of a bowel movement! Its degrading and disgusting and will serve no other purpose than to embarrass these kids later in life. What parent pulls out pictures of their children's poop to reminisce about their younger days?
Marcie
This woman is a TERRIBLE example of motherhood. I can't wait until the network pulls the plug on her ridiculous show. Jon is obviously having an affair, and it will only be a matter of time before viewers drop off because of this.
Debch58
The sad thing is that even if TLC pulls the plug she will continue to make money off the kids. I can't wait to read the tell all books the kids are going to write. Do the camera crews have to sign an agreement not to come forward with what they see and hear? I would think that someone would have spilled the goods by now on what they too are exposed to. Or Jon's 'friends' that he has been hanging out with. Man don't you know he is paying hell for this one! Wonder how long he can take it staying for the 'sake of the kids' before he walks and makes his own way in life telling about Miss Perfect Kate.
The one I really, REALLY can't wait for is the true crime book that will be a tell all of how Maddy finally stepped off the ledge and took good ol Mom off the face of the earth. Ax? Gun? Bare hands? The only thing that scares me about that one will be if she takes the little ones with her, she is being raised to hate them, and to use that hate to get what she wants. There was one time they were taking swimming lessons, the little ones went first, she threw a FIT, ended up getting sent in the house, but the next day, guess what, Maddy went first, then was allowed to stay and play while the little ones went, even though the teachers had ask that it be only the little ones.
I can't blame her, but I really dislike her as much as her Mom.
Kathryn
I just saw a portion of HRH on the Today show or whatever.....ho hum, this bitch STILL doesn't let on that the crap is hitting the fan. And yes, once again, she prefaces her statement with 'I really don't care what people think....' oh hell Katie, ya THINK??!!!! Hey dumbass, that's your problem: You don't care about ANYONE but yourself. Not even your children. Yes, you may love them but it's plain to see that they're an annoyance to you and an obstacle for you on your way to bigger and better *things*
You deserve what you're getting right now. You treat your husband like dirt, you get treated the same. That's just the way it is. Understand once and for all that you cannot go through life bullying and intimidating those around you.
Lady, wise up.
Ann
Does anyone see the similarity to the Dion Quintuplets???
michelle
I used to love this show, the everyday normalness of it. I love to watch the kids and hear the things they say. The last season was awful, the VIP trips they take annoy me. There was one scene where Jon was on the computer talking about checking something his allstate agent wanted him to check and it panned to the computer and the allstate website. It was so staged and he was so clearly acting in an allstate commercial.
Kate drives me nuts, yes she is mean to Jon but I also want to point out sometimes Jon just needs to grow up and stop acting like a kid. He always seemed a little self centered and short tempered to me and his behavior of late is more proof he needs to grow up. Sure Kate has been controlling but if it is that bad in the marriage go to counseling or separate. Married men don't have any business being in bars with other women. Married men don't need to have a gang of female friends and that goes for married women too, having male friends. Things get too complicated and the next thing you know you are sharing things with the other person about your spouse and then your in bed together. It's inappropriate behavior regardless of how your wife or husband treats you, there is no justification for adultery.
What is up with the sk8ter boy hair do? Either cut it or let it grow, it's worse than a mullet!
And Maddie is little Kate, I love kids but that one needs a good spanking, she has some issues. Maddie gets whatever she wants and she is mean to the other children.
I can't not watch the new season, it's like a train wreck, it's awful but I have to watch. Wonder how much longer before we hear they are splitting?
jack
Leave Kate Alone! She is hard working and a terrifc mother. She and Jon are loving and caring parents and Christians. The children are super smart and outgoing. Jon is just going thru a somewhat mid life crisis, he will get over it because he loves Kate very much.
Egamemnar
You can't treat your husband like crap, order everyone around you to do things you should get up off your A$$ and do and expect that your husband won't go find a nicer woman to get affection from. Kate deserves what she gets, karma is a b$%#h.
Egamemnar
#jack, have you been watching the same Gosselin's that the rest of us have? Kate is NOT a loving Christian, she is a greedy, mean, use her children for financial gain, run all her family and friends off, self serving, LAZY yes, LAZYwoman who has the personality of the wicked step mother.
Wwhat mom sits around and barks orders at her 8 kids and husband and then says ,"oh, my day was so busy" Have you EVER seen her actually play outside with her kids, not sit outside yelling about how everyone else should be doing this or that, but her actually interact other than screaming at her kids, no, you haven't.
What comes around goes around and she is getting a big ol bowl of it right now.
spvoelker
I HATE when people play up the Christian thing. What, are other religions not worthy?
I don't condone what Jon has done, but I can see why.
jack
She has to be the parent authority. While Jon is more hands on with the kids, Kate has to be the one to set the rules. She does it for the children's safety and well being. They deserve that beautiful new home and all the gifts that contributors have blessed them with. They are good hardworking common folk, and need to be left alone to resolve their home issues. You are all jealous that she was able to make a name for herself and family.
Kathryn
..ohhhhh, I'm just SO impressed that the Gosselin's are christians!!! Wow, that must make these 'good hardworking common folk' real real special. Forgive me for not kissing their butts
jack
Kathryn,
you must be related to Aunt Jodie, why else would you be so bitter??
Angel
I think it is horrific that many people are wondering if Kate is the model of "motherhood", because some of the ways she treats her kids and yells at them should be considered emotional abuse. Especially the way she mocks and criticizes Jon, I do think it weak of Jon for not putting his foot down, and if there was a custody battle I would prefer Jon as one of their children.
I refuse to buy her books and I rarely watch the show anymore, I think they need a surprise episode with the supper nanny to shut Kate's big, loud and annoying mouth.
I don't think it moral for what Jon did, but the way she treats him, I would try to find happiness from someone else myself. I am surprised that Jon didn't go gay after his experience with Kate. She doesn't deserved those kids, she should have stopped at two, because she is ruining so many lives on her quest for fame, money and power.
Egamemnar
#Jack "You are all jealous that she was able to make a name for herself and family" Yeah, we are all jealouse of Kate Gosselin and the "name" she has created for her family. HA! That name is MUD, or "we are an embarressment" or "I am a bitch so my husband steps out on me"....Yep, for sure, we are all jealous, especially me!
and your comment, "they are good hardworking common folk" THEY USE TO BE, but they ain't that anymore.
Egamemnar
and for the record. I believe the kids DO deserve what they are getting via freebies, trips, house, etc since they are the ones that earned it. The unfortunate thing is that the person teaching them the value of things is Kate Gosselin and somehow I feel like the kids are going to grow up feeling entitled like mom does and not like this is a blessing. Kate is just a poor example of a mom.
I am mom to 1 child with cerebral palsy, he is 24 years old but if you evaluate him physically in terms of age he about 10 months old and trust me, I do more in one day for my son then Kate Gosselin does for 8. She hasn't got a clue about being a good mom. Jon bathes the kids, jon plays with the kids, the onely thing I have really ever seen Kate do is fix few meals here and there and that was before she could afford to hire someone to come in and do that for her.
So Jack, why don't you tell all of us foolish people what it is that makes Kate Gosselin mother of the year. She isn't home with her kids, she doesn't play with her kids, when she spends any time with them she always makes sure there is "help" available to bark orders to . what about that makes her such an upstanding mom.
jack
EG, you sound like Mother of the year, so maybe you should contact TLC and get your own show too.....Will that make you happy, since your on here bitching about someone else beating you to it....

Honestly, I do not watch this show all the time as I noticed that it makes my blood boil...but here are my two cents regarding the Gosselins and especially Kate.
I dislike the Gosselins because they get everything handed to them. So what if they had 8 kids? That was THEIR choice. They get everything handed to them or collect freebies all day long. If Jon and Kate were a couple from East Los Angeles, they would not have a t.v. show, collect freebies, or get help from their neighbors. I don't know why their friends and family come over to help, I'd rather shoot myself than to babysit 8 bratty kids that do not listen.
Kate is something else. Do you ever see her without make up on or messed up hair? This is because she is not around her kids, she's looking to get on the cover of magazines. She even has a funky tan, if she has time to tan, she should have time for her family. One last thing, her hair do sucks. It's like a backwards mullet!
Egamemnar
yeah Jack, I don't recall bitching about not having my own show. You should reread what has been posted. I am bitching about people like you who insult the intelligence of me and millions of others who see Kate acting like an asshole but then tell all of us how great she is.
I probably could have my own show...would I want to use my child's life for my personal gain? No but I guess that is what separates me from people like you and the Gosslins.....
Egamemnar
and Jack, we are all still waiting for you to tell us what makes kate Gosselin mother of the year. what does she do that makes her such a fantastic mother... I maybe am missing something when I use to watch the show for what I began to see (and the reason I stopped watching) is a mean, cranky, bitchy, nagging, lazy woman who professes to do so much yet I watch her do so little. Could you enlighten us all please.
jack
for whatever kate is, at least she helps and donates to st. jude children's charity and other foundations. what do you do? just sit on your butt and like to argue about how much you hate people that are in the spotlight. instead of spreading so much hate, why dont you do something positive in your life, get away from the computer, (however painful it is) and start making a difference for yourself and others. you would feel so much better about your life, that you wouldnt have time to bitch. i was up at 4am, gave PT (i am a sgt. in the ARMY), and now my soldiers and i are going to the local day cares to volunteer for their book fair. most of these kids have one or both parents deployed overseas, and are gone from 12 months to 15 months. my wife is deployed, and its just me and my son. so before you start judging and bitching, take a look at yourself and ask if you like what you see.........i can at least wake up every morning with a smile on my face and say that i try to make a difference for me and my family. Peace out.............
Kathryn
To 'Sergeant Jack':
Whoop-di-do
Buzz off...
Egamemnar
Yeah my ass your a Sgt. Your a useless nothing sitting home spewing hate. I see it and so does EVERY ONE else reading this but for the record.
I donate to St. Jude's too and other foundations (my dear friend's grandaughter has a brain tumor) as well as caring for my elderly grandmother and taking care of my disabled son who COULD be support by the State Welfare Department if it weren't for me, \and as if that weren't enough, I also work a full time job as a paralegal, that's right, I have a bachelors degree. And what is it that you do jack besides mirror your feelings of yourself on to others "why dont you do something positive in your life, get away from the computer, (however painful it is) and start making a difference for yourself and others. you would feel so much better about your life"
Practice what you preach grasshopper...oh, I mean Sgt.
Don't forget to take your medication today. Your a bit on the manic side.
Egamemnar
Kathryn-- right on sister!!!!!
Buzz off Captain Jack...
Debch58
I think that both Kathryn and Egamemnar said it wrong. They should have said F-off Jack. Since your so smart about every thing Jackie can you figure that one out?
Starla
You know, Kate is so good at acting like she is something she's not, maybe she is here posing as JACK! Bahahaha!
jack
to all you fat hens and cows....get off your lazy asses and go clean something...................
Egamemnar
Jack, Jack, you are giving yourself away. What Sergeant would say, "to all you fat hens and cows….get off your lazy asses and go clean something" Why would you talk about your family like that, especially your wife.
.............but Com'on. Maybe Starla is right, is that really you Kate? Come to defend what honor you have left, oh that's right, there is none left...hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Jamie Walsh
I used to enjoy watching this show- seeing a real mother deal this the daily routine of raising multiple children. Then TLC made the show all about ad placements; dressing the children in baby gap, showing new leap from learning toys, ect ect.
It bothered me when they started getting all the free trips- (Now before someone accuses me of being jealous I am not!) because thats when it stopped being real. How can anyone relate to that? There are millions of people loosing their jobs (I for one) and are struggling to make ends meet- this show is just not appropriate!
This show needs to be taken off the air for the simple fact that it promotes bad parenting skills---yelling, favoritism, cruel joking, ect If you watch 18 children and counting- The Dugger family- thats real. Have you ever seen the mother disrespect her children or lash out at her husband? No- and she has 18 children not 8. There is also no ad placements and Im certain they dont get freebies because they have talked about not being in debt. They buy their clothes used at a thrift store..could you imagine Kate having to dress her precious ones in used clothes??
Even if the fighting is for show it is WRONG- think about those children and how awful it is to hear their mother bash their father for not using a coupon. I did have remorse for Jon but he is a grown man and can stick up for himself. No one can relate to this family anymore-
I dont care if you dislike Kate and Jon or like them- bottom line is the show is promoting horrible parenting skills and showing an unrealistic family. Who takes 25,000 from a church for an appearance? Its not for the childrens college fund because our governor gave the family money a few yrs back.
Spoiled, selfish, horrible mother- she is no role model-
Egamemnar
Jamie, I couldn't have said it better myself. Sums up the entire situation. Kate and that mom on Little People both ought to take a lesson from Michelle Duggar, in fact, we all could.
That Kate tho, she is something else. I really feel insulted by her and that show and its supporters. I stopped watching for the same reasons you state. I hate what I see and then to have others tell me she is great. It is insulting like I somehow don't know bad mothering or a bad wife when I see one.
Kathryn
Egamemnar, I'm really glad you brought up Amy Roloff from Little People. Most people praise her for being such a great mom, and yes, she does seem to truly care for her children. But it's the treatment toward her husband that riles me. She shows such contempt toward him, rolling her eyes and always making sarcastic remarks. All of this is done in front of the kids and now I'm seeing that the children as well are treating their dad like crap. Matt Roloff might be a bit bossy (yeah, like Amy isn't !!) and he might be a lot A-Type personality, but hey, he accomplishes so much!! And he's a good dad
Amy needs to stop belittling her husband in front of the kids and start showing some appreciation for a change. And if she really thinks her husband is such a dead-beat, then for god's sake, leave!
Kelly
I can not stand the un-greatful Kate! what a $%&@# she is. she ought to be ashamed of herself getting or should I say demanding all those free things!!! I don't know how she can look at herself in the mirror.....I think this gravy train needs to end for them. I wish TLC would pull the show off and never show them again. OMG I can't stand to even look at her
Debch58
I did a little research and found out what Kate's kids are worth. I say this because she is now spending her time on the road promoting books, speaking, and making TV appearances, rather than being at home raising her kids. This is time she can never get back, but she has choosen money. Here is a brief breakdown.
$75,000 per show (last seaon had 41 shows)
$3,000 per hour for speaking engagements
$20 for autographs
$150 a person for a special meet-and-great-tea
And the reason Aunt Jodi is no longer on the show. TLC approached her and her husband, Kate's brother Kevin, about compensation for their appearances, so they would be on more shows. Kate said NO, no one would be paid but them, and she pushed them out. She gave the reason that the more people who split the money, the less there is for her.
So tell me, how does one justify coming unglued on another person when they don't use a coupon but are a part of the group that comands $75,000 a show? And how does one justify spending months away from home, only flying home to tape a show now and then, in order to promote 'her' books.
So I go back to what I said in the beginning. She put a price on what the lives of her kids are worth. She is more interested in the almighty dollar than she is in her children.
And go Dugger family. They teach us all, to get respect, you give respect. They are wonderful. They laugh, learn, share, give and recieve as a group. What a blessing they are.
Kathryn
Love the Duggars too!! And the Hayes....
Too many kids for this small earth but still, they're such nice families
tracey
I can see why Jon would have an affair. Kate probably has a more organized way to be intimate. She is too controlling. The show should be postponed until Kate receives treatment for her OCD.
Kate (not Gosselin, thank God)
Like others on here, I too watched the show when the kids were smaller, the cute little things they would say, like when Kate came back from her surgery and went up to the nursery and the little girl was standing in the crib saying "hi mommy" in that sweet little voice, that is worth more than any 75,000 per episode. I read online that Kate said she won't walk away from the show, they have made enough money, if she invested it right and lose the million dollar home, they could live comfortably... hell the kids even have their college education paid for, so why is she worried? I think she is seriously living the life she wanted through her kids, I think I read somewhere she lived in a trail park (nothing wrong with that, it's a roof over your head); If she went back to nursing and got a couple more years of experience, she could make a descent living, no not the million dollar home...I think they should have stayed in the second home, and just expanded it....I won't watch, I don't care if Jon cheated on Kate, did she deserve it? yes and no, but it happens every day all around the world, theirs just happens to be out there in the spotlight...too bad that light doesn't burn out...I'm tired of it....
Kate (not Gosselin, thank God)’s last blog post..Murder Suspect Faces New Claims
Lorraine
I cannot believe how much she has changed, I honestly dont blame Jon if he did cheat. She belittles that man all the time, and that hair style, and has to be tan now. Did anyone else notice in the episode when they were buying the toys for St. Judes, Kate wearing her heels (which she cannot walk on) almost slips, and then they show her again in flat slip ons. And also when they went to get the dogs she was wearing her heels. GIVE ME A BREAK.
Claudia
STOP!!! For all of you who think that the gosselins are a joke why dont you try raising 8 kids? Most of everything you guys say are opinions. You act like your picture perfect.
Eileen
I wouldn't even call her a "mother." She is BY FAR the worst mother I have ever seen in my entire life. Any mother who would treat their children, their daily activities, their husband, their friends/family with such disrespect...is a terrible terrible person.
I seriously think we need to boycott Kate. People need to stop watching TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 because its only giving her more money. She's money hungry and it annoys me that she's becoming more & more powerful with all of this media attention (better show ratings).
The way she treated Jodi, her FATHER (her own family!), and her husband disgusts me. This woman needs to learn a lesson, she thinks she's gods gift to earth.
Kathryn
Eileen,
You are so right about boycotting this stupid show. I quit watching altogether, only because I just can't stand looking at her face or hearing her voice.
She sucks the life out of a room and is nothing but negative energy.
Get off your high horse you neurotic witch and get the hell out of Dodge....
Bev
Sigh....I used to love this show, even quoting Kate as "my hero" because of how she handled all her kids. Now I just see her as greedy, disrespectful, bitchy, and rude. What an utter disappointment she turned out to be. As far as Jon goes...I wouldn't feel too sorry for him, either. It's obvious he's in it for the money as much as she is. I believe the whole show is a game cooked up by the both of them and the producers, to make as much money as possible....even the cheating thing. Lets face it, scandals stir up interest and everyone wants to tune in to see how it all unfolds...it's human nature. I say everyone should just change the channel as it's all as fake, right down to their contrived bickering. It's all about looks, control, greed, and exploitation. Lets hope the kids don't suffer too much.
i
i was a fan of kates and now i am not. here is why: a) she shared her children with me over the years via the tele, only to get money. now i feel used and hurt. i feel hurt b/c i am emotionally invested in these kids and it saddens me to see them in this situation...i can see warning signs that they are going to have a hell of a hard life emotionally and psychologically, which i know only b/c my own mother is very much like kate and i grew up thrown back and forth between two extremely narcissistic, immature parents and as a result, made choices i wouldn't have made had i not had to parent my parents when i was an adolescent. b) i feel pissed off b/c i've probably wasted more time watching her manage her own life and get ahead, when i should have been managing my own. (partially my fault so i take some responsibility for this one) c) I CAN'T STAND people who connect themselves to Jesus Christ, and then act so irresponsibly so easily and then sit there and let us see for ourselves that they are completely clueless as to how hypocrital they are, as they keep digging a hole in the ground for their future burial. (one day people will finally have enough and cause the person to become a total outcast and i think we can all see this day approaching for kate and perhaps as she too sees it coming, we will witness her have some huge meltdown). i don't know why, but i suddenly have a thing for jon. i always noticed we had a lot in common, starting with when i began to yell out the same things to the tv when i watched the show, that jon would end up saying to kate. as someone with a similar personality, let me just say, i would totally lose my mind if i were in his situation. but the sad thing is, it's like he's imprisoned in a nightmare. he loves his kids but he knows he'd risk losing them if he fought kate on doing the show, which has now gotten to the point where he feared it would b/c he can't go anywhere now without drama. i realize it's not kind to slander people and i probably shouldn't post this, but on the other hand, kate brought me into this. i simply cannot fathom choosing to ruin my precious family and marriage to a genuinely good-hearted man, all for the sake of a stupid tv show and as we now know, the money it rakes in. and if her reason is true, that she keeps doing the show for the viewers and the opportunities for her kids, then she is a stupid woman b/c she is putting strangers and money first, and the genuine well-being of her family second. i try to imagine having cameras in my face like that, while taking care of all those kids and being a wife and it dawns on me that this woman is one greedy u-know-what. of course i'm going to tune in to the first show of the season, but i swear, if it's all about kate sitting there yapping out her carefully crafted explanations so as to justify her choices and actions, then no more jon&kate plus 8. she has already lost most of my respect and is hanging on by a thread. i think it is so tacky to continue with the show. even more tacky than her small town hair cut. okay that was mean and uncalled for. i am sorry.
Hayden
It's sad the 1st season seemed so real life. John and Kate were worried about their money. It was there choice to have in vitro, Kate makes it like America owes her and her family.. I'm so sick to see all the free sh!t they get. Don't get me wrong I'm sure her hands are full and she's busy as hell. But she is way to over dramatic and there seems to be no discipline for Mady. She is always being so sassy and whining she's not 2! It's not right that John or Kate have to work and get vacations, a house, furniture, dogs, tummy tuck etc...... Oh yea in the tummy tuck episode was it me or did Kate seem a little pissed b/c the Dr. told her to get another type of bra- like she was wanting free boos too or something????!!!! I hope this show gets canned now ... The Little People now that's a good show!
Kathryn
Yes, I remember when the Queen went for her tummy-tuck. I was kind of embarrassed when she hit the good doc up for a boob job as well.........uh, HELLO !!! Talk about the gall of this woman! And this was in the very beginning when I really enjoyed the show, but that really bugged me. At least the doctor turned her down....he was probably thinking to himself "don't look a gift horse in the mouth lady"
By the way, I thought her surprise 30th birthday gift to Jon - taking him on vacation to the Florida Keys was so sweet, I loved that episode. But then I read that, gee, guess what?? It was FREE also. Holy crap, does this family pay for ANYTHING??!!
Debch58
Does anyone know how we could get an address to TCL telling THEM how we feel? Not like this, just a way to boycott and let them know we are? I think they would get the message MUCH faster! The better Kate gets knocked off her horse, the better for all involved. Maybe they still have a chance as a family, I don't think so, but maybe.
Kim
About 10 yrs. ago I was a little like Kate, a total type A personality, control freak, everything had to be in order, a list made, it drove my poor husband crazy, I would yell at him for the littlest thing, even if he moved slower than me, I wouldn't let my kids be kids, in the sense that I wouldn't let them get dirty, heaven forbid if they got muddy or grass stains...more work for me to do w/ laundry. I never really got to enjoy my family life, b/c I was so obsessed with trying to portray this perfect family imagine...what woke me up from reality was a call in the middle of the night, both my parents were killed instantly in a head on collision with a drunk driver...so you see life isn't about being perfect, it isn't about having everything that you think you need, it's about spending the precious time you have on this earth, b/c every day is precious, and tomorrow could be your last...I was so blind with living my life a certain way, that I neglected those around me, I hadn't spoke to my parents in about a year, b/c they didn't like the person I had become...so the reality of never talking to my parents again was my wake up call...I certainly hope this doesn't happen to Kate...yes it's nice to be able to give your kids a life you never had, but it's more important to let people in their life that know love and care for them...not some reality show on t.v. that's going to possibly ruin what relationship you might have with them later on in life.....it's never too late to stop all of this....
Kate B
Why don’t you have 8 kids so we can criticize everything you do! Maybe you should spend your time on yourself or your children instead of spending time making lists about people you do not know. You are the one who sounds bitter.
Kathryn
Kim,
I'm so sorry about your parents and I admire your ability to speak from the heart. I couldn't agree with you more. I just spent this Memorial Day weekend with my 82-year old father and I was looking at him and seeing how little and frail he's become. And kicking myself for not taking the time to go and visit with him throughout the years because I was always too 'busy' or had to do totally irrelevent things that I thought were so important at the time. And now, looking back, it breaks my heart. You can't get those years back...
Life is not forever, such a cliche but damn it, we act like it is. Listen to the old people and their wisdom. They've been there, and done that. And they know what's important. It's about family, and friendships, and basic human kindness. It's about paying it forward. It's about giving back. The 'things' in life aren't what count in the end, it's about those closest to you.
I said goodbye to my dad and then went back inside my house and cried like a baby. I know in my heart his time is near. This weekend we had a wonderful time though, laughing and reminiscing. What a blast we had, I only wish we had done more of this throughout our lives.
TRULOVER
I think that all of you are very rude for bashing a woman that has basicallygiven up her life for her children. But I guess most of you wouldn't understand that becaue you probably have shipped your children off to day care and let someone else take care of your child because you're to lazy to do it yourself. Jon gave up his job so that he could be at home and help with the kids and Kate goes and does publicity so that they can have some money. By the way TLC probably only shows the bad parts of their relatioinship because its entertainment and people like to watch it. Once again you should all be ashamed of yourselves for making this womans life a living hell.
Sam
Haha I agree you should watch with your man cuz it really makes him appriciate what he's got! =D
Penny
I totally believe that people will twist anything they can to make it look soo bad or something. try having 8 kids thats what i try telling everybody. although i do NOT blame jon, I do NOT blame kate either. 8 children will tear any couple apart
Cakes
Kate turned 'Hollywood', she has the time to get hair done, highlights touched up, manicure, pedicure, tan, tan, tan, etc. etc. All of the above takes a lot of time, she should have been worrying about her kids and her marriage instead of trying to sell books and travel for weeks at a time with her bodyguard. She's made enough money exploiting her children. Who cares what she has to write about or say...
I'm glad her marriage is ending, she's a rude, inconsiderate, and demanding wife. What goes around, comes around and I hope someone degrades her like she belittles Jon on a daily basis. I can't wait for her children to turn into teenagers, I hope they send her to the psych ward. But knowing her, she'd probably collect disability and free load off the government. One day, she'll look back and see what a deadbeat freeloader she is, and her backwards mullet is NOT cute, I don't care what anyone says! Kate -- quit freeloading off other people.
Kapaccino
I hate to burst your bubble sweetheart but this mega-breeding grifter chose to have children; she knew full well that her chances of having multiples was very high. The Gosselin's figured that if they put a bible in their hands and hung biblical quotes on the walls of their home for the viewers to see, they could mask their true incentive: $$$.
But you're right, TLC probably DOES show only the bad parts because the rest of what we don't see, I'm sure, is quite horrific. It has nothing to do with being overwhelmed or overworked - simply put this woman is in serious need of an intervention but I doubt it would change her core.
In reference to your opening statement: While we all may be rude for bashing Kate Gosselin, we also know it's well deserved. However this woman has not 'basically given up her life for her children' but rather she has given up her children's life for the love of the almighty dollar.
I, for one, am not ashamed of making KG's life a 'living hell'. I would be ashamed of myself if I stood by and did nothing.
Collectively people need to reach out and be a voice for those children. And in the end maybe this woman can finally come to terms with the fact that she used her children like commodities.
She should have never had even ONE child.
i
kim, i'm sorry to hear about your mom and dad, but i don't think anyone's words can equal what an awful tragedy that is. i would like to point out though that it says a lot about your character that you're response was to turn toward your family and not away from them, or self-destruct in bitterness. i wish you the best.
i
as for season 5's episode last night, i don't know what to say. kate is reeeeeeeal good at getting people to forget about the fact that she is choosing to slowly destroy her marriage. her husband DOESN'T want to continue the show. he is HALF of the partnership here. he DOES have a right to change his opinion and renegotiate the plan for their family, so long as it's not something immoral such as "i'd like to be swingers. you in?" all the man wants is to get those freaking cams out of his face and i don't blame him. we have similar personalities. i think he has been so busy these past 5 years that up until 6 months ago, he really didn't get just how many people were super into their show. and of course, the media began to chase him around more and more...so i totally think his request to end the show is valid. but kate is choosing to put money and work first. might as well kick the man between the legs. did you see that moment he shared at the birthday party with one of the little girls? it made me tear up. he is really sad. sucks having a dictator in the family, let alone to be married to one. anyway, i know i shouldn't have watched it, but i did. i will stop. they could always keep a website and show updates on the kids now and then, for their fans. they don't need to continue the show. these kids think that's real lilfe and i bet it causes big issues when they are older and realize what the heck is going on.

Kate is a manipulator and sociopath. In her world, it's all about her because she has been so put upon by life - by her parents, her husband, her children. In her world, she deserves to be treated differently than anyone else because of what "life" has done to her. She views herself as a Christian martyr. She will destroy anyone that takes atttention away from her. She is only somewhat less mentally ill than "tot mom."

What a horrible woman Kate is. My wife watched the marathon this weekend so she could see the transformation. Last night showed fake laughs, little jokes with giggles and a completely fake attitude that never existed at the start. Jon seems contrite, confused, hurt and took responsibility for his actions and all she did was blame, blam, blame and get angry because he meal ticket might get ruined. She is a pathetic woman. The end of the show was perfect. Her trying to explain how she is there for her family even though she is gone alot and him saying he is already there for his family because he is with them daily. I hope he gets the kids and she disappears into oblivion.
i
sandlapper said "In her world, she deserves to be treated differently than anyone else because of what “life” has done to her. "
this aspect to kate feeling like a victim has really thrown me for a loop. i didn't know i was supposed to be feeling sorry for her, but if that's the case, i can't find it in my heart to do so. Kate could learn from the mom of "table for 12". you know, sit on the sofa, read a book. Cuddle. maybe if this were to happen, my nerves wouldn't be so shot after i watch an episode of J & K. Mothering for me is natural and I don't even want children. I guess I just know what kids need b/c my mom was a lot like Kate. It begins by shutting up when a kid talks. Not trying to convince them that what they want isn't really what they want and then telling them what it is they want and should do. And it's not dragging them with everywhere you want to go or assuming that yes, they DO want to do that "opportunity" and making them feel like there's something wrong with their character b/c they want to chill or gee, maybe sit in their room and read a book in silence. that would be foreign to my mom.
Next, make kids do chores. Or is that child neglect now? My mom was superwoman. I would turn around to do a chore and it was done - perfectly. Well, I grew up and couldn't manage my own life with a job and personal chores. She was like my personal shopper. She made my appointments. I'm 31 now and have learned how to apply my job duties as a Construction Project Manager but heck, I feel like I'm always at work b/c my systems can feel a bit intense just for a trip to the drugstore. Maybe that's how it's supposed to feel. I wouldn't know. As for cooking, I've gotten it down to about 10 foods which I mix and match into meals. It works for me...with a mircrowave and maybe a skillet.
Kate is tacky and thoughtless. She burns her skin fakebaking but promotes raising money for cancer. Nice. She might as well smoke during her interviews. People with her fair skin are dying of melanoma and it's not like she's in her early twenties. Come on. If she wants to be a classy woman, then at 35 she wouldn't be tanning. At least do the spray on tan. And stop whereing designer clothes and heels to K-mart and puppy farms. If she keeps that hair style, buy a baret and pull it away from the face b/c it adds to her snobby demeanor. I think her look right now isn't helping. Perhaps her publicist also can't stand her.
Kate is also thoughtless towards women who can't have babies and young couples right now on the brink of divorce as she's totally unaware of the power she holds in her hands to influence a woman to make the wrong choice about divorce. In addition, she is also ignorant of the fact that some of her fans are probably beaten by their husbands, and they look at Jon and can't believe Kate would even consider ending it, all b/c he wants to get those cameras out of his face. Amazing.
And this show is supposed to be healthy for families? Each individual family makes up society. Kids raised in dysfunctional homes can grow up to shoot their classmates or kill their friends, cut them up into little pieces, and hide 'em in their bedroom closet. We now know this crazy stuff really happens. Right now Kates kids on this show are friendly and talk to everyone that comes to the house, but what if not everyone in the world responds to how they are used to people responding? What if some of them enter into a really awkward point in time physically (I did) and then they have to read about it on the net or hear it on entertainment news? Are they going to be able to handle this? I guess we'll see. It will be interesting to check in when they are older. But i do hope, for their sake, the show ends. Let's see if TLC can at least put the kids before money, since their mother obviously can't.
PA
How sad to exploit your children for money. This woman is a total crack pot and deserves nothing. I can't wait for this stupid show to end - maybe they'll have a reality check and she'll have to live in a normal house and have a normal job. Why does she feel like society owes her something? She did this to herself - no one else did it to her.
Her poor husband needs to go already and take the kids with him. Then she can just sell herself.
i
*wearing.
Kate has me so flustered, that I can't spell or figure out if I want to use small caps. Darn her. I wonder what else I could blame her for...;-) B/t/w, I don't know how I got to a mommy website but if it helps, I've been reading parenting books since age 14, b/c my mom would bring them home, read 5 pages and leave them around the house. I learned what she wasn't doing but was too afraid to tell her back then. You could say things have changed. Eventually they must.
i
P.S. Kate's made me start yapping more than I normally would. Sorry. But really, I felt I should add that I am always happy for people who are in need and get the help they are in need of. I was happy for Kate's kids b/c I knew they were getting help and I like to see young families (and marriages) make it and do so without having to struggle through day-to-day events. I was happy for Kate on a personal level, that she got her tummy tuck, even though I'd love plastic surgery too, I don't "need" it in a way she did in the sense that it was used to get back to how she was before, not necessarily to improve what she was before. So by all means, good for her. I over looked the under handed request for a boob job. I wondered if that was normal though, but it seemed odd. At least, not something I'd not do, sort of like if someone takes me out for dinner, I don't ask them to take me out again the next night. Oh Katie. What are we going to do with you? Probably not call you Katie to your face. I think Jon pulled out his own hair, but that's just my guess.
i
"On Sunday, the family filmed the sextuplet's fifth birthday party. It was more than a week after the kids' actual birthday -- mother's day -- in which Kate spent the afternoon tanning instead of with her children." http://www.usmagazine.com/news/report-kate-gosselin-event-canceled-after-ticket-sales-low-2009195
(Supposedly per her sister-in-law): "When the show first started, Kate made a wishlist of things that she wanted, and that became the theme of each episode--the carpet, twin's room, bunk beds, cow, hairplugs, teeth whitening, trips, etc. EVERYTHING that you see them do or buy is completely paid for out of the budget for the show or traded for free advertising. Kate went on and on about saving up for special days, you saw her paying for things, she talked about budgeting, etc. It is all for the appearance that they are a struggling family with 8 children. They needed to be relatable. They didn't pay for any of it.
"The episodes are also staged. Here's how it works...there is a staff of people reading these blogs and they base the shows around what people are talking about. I haven't watched many episodes, but I do know some of the behind the scenes events.
"The Christmas episode from 2007. Producers told Kate that the viewers wanted to see her show appreciation to their helpers. They told her what the episode was going to be. I think they baked cookies and then went caroling (of course this was probably one of their many 'traditions"--those are all fake too). Kate threw a fit. She didn't want to do it, but she did...because they were trying to pacify the viewers.

OH........MY......GOD!!!!!! Are you serious??!!! The Christmas episode of them caroling was staged???
Well, TLC sure fooled me then. What scumbags they've become
Sal
How about I hate Kate because she's a self absorbed beeatch!
Alexa
I agree with all of these reasons.
I am 13 and I have been watching this show since I was 9. At first I thought ..."Wow what a great mom who loves and devotes ALL of her time to her children." Now I see it for what it realy is.....a bunch of crap. I commend Jon for cheating on that obbsesd physcopath Kate. And I hope all of their beautiful children are able to get through their lives with her. This used to be my all-time favorite show,but now I only watch it to prove myself right.....that Kate is an uptight biddy!
Jeanna
I only have a few words for Kate, and that is "Kate, your a horrible mother."
i
I am really sorry for posting again today but I just found out both jon and kate (apparently) are BOTH Aries. She - March 28, He - April 1st. Yep, they are screwed. This ain't ever going to work. These kids need to be saved by splitting up those two. God help those kids if the cameras do get turned off. I imagine there are some MAJOR screaming matches (hopefully that's it) that go on that we don't see. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I find out Jon is something else that is more chilled. Holy moly there are so many places to hide a dead body on that new property. And chopped off...u knos. How can such pathedic people be given such awesome kids? (Although, I haven't given up on Jon totally yet. But he does need to grow a pair).
They had a ton of people add on to their first house to make it for 10 people and she wasn't happy with it. How do you think these volunteers feel now, seeing her in a 1.3 million dollar house? Ouch. Kate's mom was recorded as saying Kate always wanted twins and then got what she wanted but took it too far by going to a DIFFERENT doctor to get her pregnant the second time. It's suspected that perhaps the first Dr. wouldn't do the second treatment. Kate was very young to get that treatment so it would have taken work to find a Doctor who would perform the task (think of Octomom). The whole time Jon was saying "stop. no. wait." Poor guy. Now the kids are going to google their life story and wonder if they split up their parents. Kate is a freaking psycho for not being able to put that together. That ticks me off. No kid should ever have to wonder that. But how can you not under these circumstances?
I feel like an ass for ever buying into this show. Jokes on me (and the millions of other fans).
Marcia
What did we expect from a woman who was not content with what God had intended for her. She willing took fertility drugs, had two sets of multiples, and then expects us to support them and HER! She and John (maybe) made the choice to seek fertility treatments on their own, but now that they got what they wanted, we are expected to foot the bill.
Where would she really be if she had to honestly raise these 8 children on her own, without the freebies and media deals? I don't think she could handle it. But she would probably be more appreciative of what handouts she gets. Her children will probably write the latest version of 'Mommie Dearest" when they are ready to start negotiating their own media deals.
Is there really a difference between Kate and the OctoMom? Not really, Kate is just a lot more media savvy!
Janine
OK I don't like Kate as much as the next person. Some thing she says and does, doesn't make much sense at all.
BUT BUT the BIG BUT of this whole situation is if you hate her so much you BETTER get your information in line.
THEY DIDN'T MOVE TO NORTH CAROLINA, WHO EVER TOLD YOU THAT LIED. They moved to Wernersville PA and the only reason I know this is because the people that they bought the house from was my doctor and still is for years.
SO to anyone who thinks better then this BITE me.
I don't think your life is perfect enough for you to be judging others.
Especially someone who you apparently can't get enough of or you wouldn't have something to write about.
I accidently came across this and read everything you wrote.
I really think you ALL need to take a long look at yourselves in the mirror and ask yourself.
IF you wore in those shoes and you were the one getting followed around everywhere and your life was being on national TV.
Wouldn't you think that you would get alittle tired also.
I'm by far not perfect by any means, and like I said before I don't much care for certain things she does either.
BUT for GOD sakes.
FIND A HOBBY PLEASE.
Julie
Okay, to the people who say that Kate didn't move to North Carolina, she did. If you don't know that. you haven't been keeping up with her. I have, just out of curiousity for the kids' sake. They moved to Wilmington, North Carolina but only Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel plus Mady and Cara. Hannah and Collin both live with Jon, just wanted to say that. It's so sad but it doesn't surprise me and now, Kate has disappeared from social media, which shocks me but she also has two new puppies from her dog, Shoka and they're now older and adult dogs. it's crazy. She's a nutcase but so glad Jon is taking care of Hannah and Collin.

Oh Janine, take a hike. You're not our freaking mother

I notice Jack, I mean KATE never came back. She is the most self absorbed, crazy person I have ever heard. YOUR CHILDREN LEARN BY YOUR EXAMPLE. they didn't learn at school that paparazzi are following, they learned that from YOU KATE.. They wouldn't even know what it means had you not told them.
Kate get over yourself
Egamemnar
"IF you wore in those shoes and you were the one getting followed around everywhere and your life was being on national TV. Wouldn’t you think that you would get alittle tired also."
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT.
Don't set out to be in the public eye if you don't want to be in the public eye. Don't creat your world then bith about it to others. Don't have more than most and bitch that you don't have everything.
Did anyone see the Duggar's last night. There kids all well behaved, self controlled at the dentist meanwhile, the Gosslin kids threw a fit.....TAKE A LESSON
and Kate, likely your kids wouldn't call you the wrong name if you were home with em.
i
janine, i'm well aware of how i'm spending my time, thanks. also, this subject is not exactly existential in nature (i.e. we aren't debating the existence of God). if kate were not a manipulative, deceitful, hateful human being, the people that have been tuning into her show, would not have to put so much effort into trying to figure this looney tune out. and i can only speak for those good people who were duped by kate, but the main reason we're interested in learning more about her, has everything to do with the fact that we're concerned about the kids. kate is the one who "worked" at leading us to believe she was a great mother and what we're learning is that she is anything BUT this. of course there is an element to this situation that does bring out our kitty kat claws, but kate is just so damn ridiculous sometimes.
Egamemnar
KATE GOSSELIN: "I think the thing that makes me the maddest is: Jon made some mistakes and he was out and whatever, and that made people question him," she said. "I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm working and traveling"
news flash kate. YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE HOME WITH YOU KIDS NOT OUT TRAVELING.
You should just keep quite.....everything you say makes you look more pathetic and like more of a self absorbed poster child for what a great mom is not.
You are merely an irritation. This too shall pass

Ok...first of all JANIE is 110% right about the situation. Second,(Oh Janine, take a hike. You’re not our freaking mother.) KAPACCINO, is your mother the only person you ever listen to or take advice from, if so then maybe you should start listening to other peoples opinions and viewpoints. Maybe if you did that you wouldn't look like such an incompetent ASS!!!! Lastly, EGAMEMNAR, you should really watch it when you talk about people writing abilities. EXAMPLE A (Don’t creat your world then bith about it to others.) EXAMPLE B (. they didn’t learn at school that paparazzi are following, they learned that from YOU KATE.. They wouldn’t even know what it means had you not told them.)! Maybe you should learn how to spell and correctly use punctuation and capitalization!!! I GOT YOUR BACK JANIE

I might be wrong, but what I took away from the show the other night was that Jon wants to try to go back to having a 'normal' family. I felt he was saying they have enough money, they should enjoy and bond. What Kate is saying is NO, it NOT enough, I want more, more, more, damned be the family! It truly appeared as though she is really getting off on the traveling and meeting and greeting, well, bluntly, the attention, and she is just not ready to give it up. Meanwhile Jon is expected to care for the home and 8 kids. That would make most people crack, even with having a spouse come home at night.
And what was the talk about the kids hair being in thier face. Does Kate ever look in a mirror? And shopping, oh yes, I LOVE to shop. Remember when Jon had to force her to go and buy clothes.
Oh my, how people change, and the things they are willing to give up to get it.
Kapaccino
I was listening to Jane Velez Mitchell and a panel of 'experts' last night and while they were all pretty much critical of Kate Gosselin, particularly JVM, they also agreed that the show most likely will continue on. Of course TLC's new spin will be KG as a single mom 'struggling' to make it with 8 kids. My heart sank when I heard this but then I figured that this is gonna get awfully old awfully quick. My prediction is that people will just lose interest after a while - the train has already wrecked, how much longer can we keep looking at it?
Egamemnar
Penny, does 8 kids give you a pass to be an ******? I don't think so. Michelle Duggar has 18 kids and she is nice, respectful, sweet, doesn't complain. hmmmmmm Guess it can't be the number of children, must be your ability to control yourself.
momof3
I watched the season opener of J&K+8 just to satisfy my curiosity over the items in the news lately regarding the family.
I have watched all the shows since the special on TLC and my thoughts are this:
1. Kate has changed, for the worse. She has become a very greedy, selfish woman who sees her family as a gravy train and exploits the kids.
2. Jon has remained pretty much the same, easy going, trying to do right for the kids, despite being hen pecked by Kate at EVERY turn.
3. The kids are basically also the same, except I get the impression that the kids do not always like having the cameras in their faces.
IF the plug is pulled on the show, oh well, this is a family who had their Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame, so let them be a family in peace and quiet. I think of all the times I went out with friends and had a drink or two...does that make me a bad mom by having some time to myself? Does Jon going out to have a beer with a friend or two make him a bad dad? No, it's just that he's now a celeb, and celebs have no privacy what so ever. Every movement becomes a paparazzi photo op, and then the whole world hears that Jon was out for a night on the town, cheating on his wife.
Yes, I think Kate and Jon should be home with the kids. I don't see the need for a book or two from them. The TV specials and show have pretty much told the story of the courtship, marriage, infertility struggle, pregnancies and births.
They have a huge new house, yard, and seem to have it all, and Kate seems to want more. It takes two to work on a marriage to make it work. There has to be give and take from both sides, and that is not what I am seeing from Kate.
Frank_NJ
I get a laugh that everyone complains about them buying the house but are overlooking the Condo they bought is Utah. Kate has seriously changed and has a major chip on her shoulder and needs a major wake-up call! As for Jon, if it is true what is in the news in a way you can not blame him as she pushed him away with her nasty attitude towards the man. When the show ends where will she be? That is a great question and can't wait to see what happens.
vanessa
I can't explain how much Kate Gosselin disgust me. Fame really got to her head and shes still hideous inside and out. If Jon cheated on Kate, i think the way she treated him pushed him into doing so. Those poor children have to live with such a disgrace of a mother. Her own kids know how bad she treats Jon.. She's just a horrible person.
newmom
I used to love to watch the show because I could only imagine how difficult it would be to have six babies at once with a set of twins just a few years older. The struggles the family encountered made it interesting and well, real. It's not as much fun to watch anymore because they aren't struggling like the rest of us from day to day. We would all love to have trips and clothes handed to us and help with our laundry folding and ironing. After watching this season's premiere, I can't help but feel like "Please just stop doing this show! It's ruining your marriage and it's not worth it!" Jon is obviously unhappy being at home all the time instead of working. Some folks just aren't cut out for the stay at home life. The "business" is tearing the marriage apart. Lots of families have 8 kids and they are not making anywhere near the kind of money Jon and Kate are with this show. The sextuplets will go to kindergarten in the fall. Kate, go back to being a nurse, and Jon go back to work doing IT. You won't make as much money, but you might save your marriage, which, although people like to criticize, seemed to work for you. I've seen lots of marriages that wouldn't work for me but do work for the people involved. There's a lid for every pot, you know. No marriage is perfect, but Jon and Kate did choose each other and surely were deeply in love at one point. What these kids need is a stable home with parents who love each other as its foundation. There are always yard sales and student loans. The public will soon forget about you and you will get your lives back.
Paige
I pretty much echo everyone else's opinions of Kate being an ungrateful pretentious piece of work who has chosen to exploit her children for her own gain. But what I find really pathetic is that the idea of a family with eight children, once considered normal, is now thought to be reality tv show worthy. My mother grew up the oldest of 10 siblings. I was one of eight. My husband was one of nine. So what?? That was our family, our lives. Nobody ever followed any of us around filming our every move like we were some kind of freak show and my grandparents, parents and in-laws actually managed to raise large families WITHOUT any handouts from the state, corporations, donors, charities or TLC. I am a nurse in a long term care facility operated by a Catholic charity. Many, maybe even most of the residents of this home successfully raised large families with far far less than what Jon and Kate EVER had, even when they were "struggling". So if TLC wants to air a REAL show about the REAL struggles of raising large families, many of these residents (and many many others all over the country) could serve up a much needed dose of reality. I just hope that after it's all done that these dear elderly people will please stay OUT of the tanning beds and resist the urge to let some overpriced stylist cut their hair with the weed whacker. YIKES!!
Audra
Nice site! I read at JK8Forum.com and like it too. It is a good resource for anyone intersted in the Gosselins from the beginning up to today.
Kapaccino
Paige:
Yes, I totally agree with you; my father was one of 11 siblings and they got by with sheer hard work and a bit of luck. And a whole lot of love.....
How the Gosselin's can be classified as 'typical' escapes my imagination. You're right - what family gets handed everything to them? No family that I can think of in the ordinary world. NO ONE. And then of course TLC cooks up this farce of a show and shows the viewers their day to day 'struggles'. It was kind of cute in the beginning, the VERY beginning but if you think about it, they started getting the freebies from the get go, starting with the tummy-tuck. It just snowballed from there....
If Kate Gosselin had an ounce of humanity in her, maybe the viewers wouldn't be this disgusted. A healthy dose of gratitude and sensitivity from this woman would have definitely put her in a better light. Absolutely they are exploiting their children, no doubt and I'm sure the viewers would have come to that conclusion eventually. But Kate Gosselin is the ONLY one who turned us against her - nobody did it but herself. And I do believe she was born this way and that the TV series only brought it out.
She's just ugly and mean and she will always be ugly and mean.
She deserves this backlash against her.
calif girl
This was my post from Feb 4th, 2009: It was very telling in last weeks episode when Kate was in the kitchen looking out the window waving her hand and saying “look it is MINE ALL MINE. There was nothing about “OURS”. She had a very evil grin, like she had really pulled one over. I think TLC should dump this show and find something that is more positive. I saw a post on another web site by the surviving Dionne’s that said how much harm over exposure had done to all of them, and just think they did not have TV cameras following them around!! One can only imagine what kind of troubles these kids will have when they are older.
Little did we all know at that time, as we do now that she had given Jon his "secret" contract to get on with his life and that she was carving hers out with Mr. Gray and the "multiples". I find this all so sickening that I question my own intelligence for being duped the entire last season.
Things seemed quite off last season and I guess now we all know why. I am glad that the State of PA is investigating them and the show. Someone needs to be an advocate for those innocent children.
It is funny I just read a news article that she said her new life is "lonely". Too bad she didn't realize that she couldn't treat Jon like an imbicile for ever and not drive him away. The woman is such a narcissist, and the phony "I've been cheated on" is such crap. I guess when you have fooled the public for 4 seasons you think it will go on for ever. I hope this show goes away and we won't have to see any more of the highlighed, buzz cut, fake tanned Katie Irene. I have had enough of this con artist. I hope for Jon's sake that he finds some one that will treat him like a real person and he can restore his self worth as he has been verbally abused for 10 years!

Found this article online about her new cookbook:
Love Is in the Mix" is the title of Kate Gosselin's third book, slated to arrive in bookstores in October 2009. According to Us, the cookbook "will feature nutritious recipes and tips on eating organically." Kate will also talk about "how to craft family traditions that create happy memories." LOL! What, like yelling at your husband in front of everyone on a shopping outing, or getting your game on with your bodyguard?! "Love Is in the Mix?" Pffft! BTW, if you haven't noticed, Kate does little to no cooking on the show, so how she's qualified to write a cookbook is beyond us.
Our office came up with some more appropriate titles for her book:
• "Bitch Is in the Mix"
• "He'll Eat It or Beat It"
• "Only One Cook in THIS Kitchen!"
• "Rollin' in Dough"
• "How To Craft Family Traditions One Affair at a Time"
• "Recipes on How To Drive Your Husband Crazy"
• "Bitch in the Kitch"
• "Hungry for Fame"
• "Cheat, Then Eat"
• "Tummy Tuck-Busting Recipes"
• "Stirring Up Some Infidelity"
• "Recipes My Bodyguard Loves"
• "From My Mullet to Your Gullet"

LOL... Love it Karen, the names are great, and SO fitting!
How about one from Jon called
Jon was conned
I'm finding it hard to beleive that she ever loved him OR the kids, sorry, but I wouldn't sell my husband and there is NO one that has enough money to buy my kid, or me to be on the road months at at time away from him. She does not know what love is, if she did she would find a way that they could make this a career as a family or she would walk away. Oh, sorry, guess I spoke out of turn, she DOES know what love is, but it's all about money and things, not people.
Kapaccino
Karen,
I'm serious, you should write a book of those sayings - I'd be the first in line to buy it! Think about it: you could go on the road just like HRH and promote it, and you could give autographs too!! The big difference would be that YOUR book would be a REAL book...
LOL, my fav's: Bitch in the Kitch and From My Mullet to Your Gullet
Don't know where you work but you guys are a riot!!!
Egamemnar
Hey Kate, if you are reading this, I keep hearing you talk about being Christians, ...well, if your truly serving the Lord and not yourselves, ask yourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity? Because that is EXACTLY how it appears you are living and why people are so over it. You say one thing and do another. Which is it?
Kapaccino
Whoaaaa, it's neither here nor there, but check out those bikini pics!!
For being so holier than thou, you'd have thought she could have least covered herself a bit more
And no, I'm not jealous. I always said this woman needed to grow a heart but it looks like she also needs to grow a butt
Laura
Kate is all about Kate! The End--game over! Run Jon run. I have never liked the show because of KATE. She is a money hungry, self-centered, nut job. She is anything but a role model for mothers to follow. Did I mention ungrateful?
Egamemnar
I was thinking about the whole thing last night and it is interesting that you here these folks saying "its all for the kids" Well what good is it if the family falls apart. Sure, financially its better, but what about the other things that are more important. I heard they are bing investigated to be sure they aren't breaking the child labor laws. True? and curious about the divorce laws in the state they live in. Is it "no fault" state or community property state. I also understand that John stays home with the kids cuz Kate told him too? WTF , did she throw him a bone too????

Egamemnar
oops sorry for the double post
Melissa R.
I have watched the show since the beginning. We (me and my kids) have fallen in love with the kids, they are really cute and sweet. I used to like Kate, but started to see how badly she speaks to Jon. I think Jon is very articulate and funny, he makes the show, whenever he speaks.
Does Kate know how good she has it with a husband and father like that? I am not putting down all men by no means, but most of the husbands that I know do not do as much hands on work with the kids in addition to everything else he does for his family. Not saying that Kate doesn't do a lot, I know that she does a tremendous amount as well.
I too enjoy watching the show in front of my hubby, he can't believe how good he has it, with a nice, polite wife that speaks to him "kindly" most of the time. I would never speak to my husband that way, especially if he were as good and nice as Jon is to Kate and the kids. (Sorry hubby).
calif gal
If you all haven't had enough of Kate yet, I read on line yesterday that in addition to her new "cook book" that she has coming out she is also working on a deal with K-Mart for a clothing line like Jacklyn Smith and also a perfume deal.
Who does this woman think she is? If this is true her new PR firm must be getting paid big $$$ for these deals...The real question is who in their right mind wants to look like her? Didn't Jon critize her STYLE last season saying she had NONE? This has all gone way off track. Lets hope the state of PA shuts the whole thing down and they will go away.
Kapaccino
...I can see it now - her perfume would be called 'Simply Bitch'
Mel
AMEN... I hope the state of PA shuts them down. I think I saw her somewhere on tv months ago whoring children's outfits that she had designed that maybe the Kmart deal but maybe she is going to do both. Fragrance would be lucky to be called 'Simply Bitch'. I seriously wouldn't be surprised if all these antics are just a publicity stunt. Stranger things have been known to happen, like celebs calling the paps to let them know where they will be so they can get exclusive pics and then the celebs getting a cut of the money they get for selling them. I DO believe that Kate IS that shallow.
Kapaccino
Yes, and let's not forget the bikini pics. I think she's hoping for a spread in Playboy (gag, not as in 'funny' but as in throwup....)
So Sad and Mad
All I can say is, I hope this show is off the air soon. That the parents get back to parenting and the kids can be "kids" and not show pieces.
I believe they have made their money now. They have their travels done, books made.
Disappointment and disgust are very appropriate at this point.
Praying for the little ones, even Maddie. She needs some help, the little ones need protection. BECAUSE, when it's all said and done, their lives will NEVER be normal from this point forward.
SHAME ON YOU TLC and the parents of these 8 kids.
Kate, you should be so so ashamed of your ego. Step outside your ego "little child," and do what we all do. Make due with what we can and make our childrens lives the best without selling them out. Jon, do the right thing and of the two of you, I think you know what that is. Put your foot down. Protect your children. SOMEONE protect these kids.
So so sad...
Egamemnar
it's funny when you hear Kate talk about "its all for the kid" but yet her family (husband AND KIDS) crumbles around her. STOP Kate, it is time to stop and focus on YOUR KIDS. That little Maddy needs something that she is obviously not getting. Attention maybe? If my child acted like she does, he would be punished but Kate makes excuses or laughs Maddy's bad, rude behavior off. Possibly cuz she is becoming just like mommy.
You know it is bad when Octomom is on the band wagon. http://wonderwall.msn.com/tv/Octo-Mom-Slams-Kate-Gosselin-1515820.story/?gt1=28135
I believe that if enough people would stop watching the show would'nt have the steam to continue. I also don't think that any of these shows centered around children should be allowed for long periods of time. Give a glance, do a few specials on em, but for God Sakes, don't force it to be the kids lives......
Kate will be alone one day. She will have run off her family, her friends , her husband, he body guard, and its only a matter of time....her children. As adults do you really think they will like the way mom portraits herself?
They will both be "googled" one day.
Egamemnar
Melissa, I note you indicate that Kate "she does a tremendous amount as well." I just don't see either John or Kate doing much but serving themselves, they have help, sitters, cooks, etc. Real life mommy and daddy do EVERYTHING for the most part themsleves, even celebrities, Look at Tori Spelling, she has her kids with her when she travles and enjoys being a mom, being with er kids and her husand. Kate enjoys the notority that comes with being "the mom" of the Gosselin kids, she doesn't really do mommy stuff........she leaves that to the hired help.
It use to be ashow about regular folks, now it is a show about the all mighty Kate Gosselin and what a train wreck she has created for her family. ENUFF already Kate.
TCL should pull the show because it is the right thing to do....
Kapaccino
I agree Egamemnar: people just need to stop watching this b.s. show - I have and it's wonderful not to be subjected to KG and her monstrous ego. Without the viewers = no show
I love Tori Spelling and the maternal instincts she exhibits, it's such a refreshing show to watch, especially after J/K. THAT"S what a mother should act like!!!
I feel like saying F U to TLC, they make me sick
Egamemnar
Kapaccino maybe that is what it will take. Boycott the entire TLC channel and although J/K might get ratings, if other shows suffer that may have otherwise been watched, and the channel itself goes down the tube... maybe they would take it off.
I jsut think the answer is to stop allowing adults to make money off kids. If John and Kate were actually doing this for the kids, the money was really all for the kids, likely they would have purchased a modest house rather a million dollar one....they wouldn't be driving with drivers and spending money for body guards. Kte needs one because she is mean not cuz she is famous
It insults our intelligents to repeatedly be told "its for the kids" when we ALL see that it is for Kate.
Egamemnar
Tori Spelling- Humble
Michelle Duggar-Humble
Dog the Bounty Hunter- Humble
People want to see reality TV about reality. About the real lives of others. J and K is just not that any more....I saw the Duggars took the kids to the dentist. Loved it when Dad said "we try and teach our children self control no matter what situatin they are in" Meanwhile a few of the Gosselin kids lost their minds at the dentist. or can you see one of the Duggar kids running in, kick a balloon, giving mom a dirty look, snarling at the camera all the while Mom is preparing a party for that particular kis? (if you didn't see the early episode of J/K when Maddie does that) The punishment for that rude, disrespectful bad behavior.... mommy Kate laughs then puts Maddie in their room to watch TV. Hmmmm possibly no TV and a stern discussion about why that is bad behavior would have been more punishment.
Kapaccino
Absolutely!! TLC took the 'reality' out of J/K and is basically making it a scripted show....it's just so damn fake I wanna puke.
And yes, we all know that those kids aren't having $$$ socked away for their future. If they ARE, well, you can bet it's a meager amount. Come ON, mamma has needs too!!!! LOL
In addition to the Gosselin tups being exploited, I also feel that they need special attention that they're not getting. They seem 'delayed' to me, just too behind in their years. Something's not right.....
Tanya Master
Can we do something about these people so we can get them off the air?Don't you all think that this marriage story is a scam so they can get better ratings and more money per episode?
thomas storm
Well I know shit about them. I hear about them weekly after the news at work.
But what sparked my attention was where they were from and where they are living now.
They have jumped over me and moved to the next county. They drive by my house to go visit family. I am 1/2 way in between them.
But not knowing about them I am am tied of the press.
But what I have heard as of lately....
BITCH.
nuff said?
I drove past their house at 4 am.
No Popa. around. But who would expect. Unless K was out on a late date.
I am trying to catch up with J to support him. I am also talking with out senator about laws to end this kinda shit in our state.
My reality... My reality would never be shown on TV. I would shut down corruption in government fast.
But Amerika has its head up the reality tv shit that they have no clue of the constitution.
comment welcome.

Anyone who has followed this couple will realize that Kate checked out of the marriage a long time ago and you don’t abuse another human being the way Kate has abused Jon over the years. I don’t know why women think it is o.k. to treat their husbands in this manner - because it’s not. It's amazing how much shit this so called Christian woman has gotten away with...I'm not saying Jon is innocent, while he's off sticking it to another woman, who's watching the kids? Someone they can trust? In this day of pedophiles, weirdos climbing in through windows to kidnap children, you would think that the Gosselins would want to protect their children, they are NO BETTER than child pornographers or pimps who whore out children! Shame on you JON and KATE and TLC!!!!!!!!!!!
Sandy
She treats Jon like a dog, barking orders at him all the time. Amen to every thing you said!!
If she were really truly concerned for her children she would quit the show and work on her marriage. She is the one that has changed and is on a different page! Can't stand her!
WE Love Aunt Jodie!! She was so sweet!!!
Sandy
Maybe she should watch the Duggars! I love the Mom and Dad on there. They may not do things how I would, but you can really see and feel the love they have for each other and for their children. Now there is a family to look at.
anna
Jon N Kate still whoring out their children!
Kapaccino
I was sympathizing with Jon; however, I've come to the conclusion that he's as much to blame as his wife is. He's in this for the money and he just can't wave goodbye to the good life $$$
He got a taste of wealth and he's addicted, kids be damned.
Parker
Totally agree! Kate is an evil psycho.
Singularity
Kate is a seriously twisted wreck of a person. She's an abusive control freak who thinks she's entitled to her version of a perfect world and she beats down(verbally) anyone who does anything she doesn't like, including her own children.
I used to feel sorry for Jon, but he stays and puts up with it. At first I think it was because he was emotionally dependent on her, but now he's enjoying not having to work, all of his new toys and his new mistress. Seriously dude, Man Up! Divorce that psycho, Take half of the money and all of your children and spend the next 20 years trying to undo the damage you two have done to them.
Boycott TLC!
vivian
I think Kate is a wonderful Mom. I don't think it is wrong to tan, have manicures, pedicures, etc. (even though I can't afford that sort of thing...). She always cooks, cleans, plans outings with her kids, etc. John seems "disconnected" and resentful to me and I think she has grown to treat him the way she HAS to in order to get him to participate.
It never goes one way...she is treating him like he is needing to be treated, and he is acting like she has taught him to act. Both need to change in this regard.
I think the children are well-adjusted and will grow up to be wonderful people. I am glad that get things "given to them". I believe they are VERY thankful! I hope they work it all out and go on to have a great life together.
Debch58
Vivian have you lost your mind? Wonderful Mom? How can you say that anyone who talks to her children like she does, is on the road more than she is home, and has children that call her by the babysitters name, a wonderful mom? Why? What makes her so great? ALWAYS cooks and cleans? How does she do that while she is out on her book tours and speaking engagments? I don't mind that people tan and get thier nails done, but most don't do it with money they made off their kids. And NO one HAS to treat anyone the way she treats Jon. She get's all pissy that Jon doesn't respect her, HELLO, she respects NO ONE.
Did you see the show where the crew was trying to help her hang blinds and she ragged them out. They were trying to help. They were NOT hired help, and you know, even if they where, slavery went out a LONG time ago, you don't talk to people like that.
As for the kids being well adjusted, at what? They are behind children their age, they never do any activity that helps with thier skills, they just run around the house. As long as they don't bother Kate, she is one happy camper, of course she's busy cooking and cleaning, who has time to interact with their children?
And thankful, no she is not. She feels like she deserves it. Oh look at me, I am so wonderful, I have 8 kids, and I am SO all that. Newflash, she is SO going to crash and burn, and as for Jon, he will be right behind her. They are both so caught up in the money and what it can buy them, they forget that happiness is not something you can purchase. The companies giving them all the gifts could give that money to people to people who need it, or at least let people use it who appreciate it.
I am done with J & K both. I'll be back to see what the kids have to say when they are old enough to do it, but mom and dad suck good energy out of people.
AND..... I hope the investiagation prompts the children being removed from that house and put in a loving home, one where people pay attention to them. But it won't be a relatives house, Kate has cut them all off, who needs family when you have money?
Kapaccino
Quite honestly I'm getting kind of sick of people saying how adorable and cute the kids are.....yes, they're cute I suppose in a little kid 'way' but certainly no cuter or more adorable than a lot of other children out there. I mean, really, maybe in the very beginning they caught my attention but only because they were like a litter of kittens.
I'm probably going to get a ton of backlash here but I do think the tups just aren't developmentally there. That could be because they're multiples, I don't know. But they just seem so annoyingly babyish and I'm astounded that they're 5. The show was intended to be specifically about them but we all know how that turned out. But even if the focus turns back to the children, I just don't see how much interest that can hold for the viewing audience. How boring to see a bunch of kids do whatever. Throw a loony mom into the mix and boom, people pay attention. But eventually even that will run its course.
Please TLC, pull the trigger
bobbie stuebs
I find it painfully hard to watch the show because of the way Kate constantly insults Jon and her own children. She is more worried about cleanliness and organization than about how she acts. I hope she can make some changes before her children get too much older. If someone mimicked her and insulted everything about her family series on national tv, she would be devestated. How can your children be THAT annoying?
tparker
I once heard it said, "It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get through the gates of heaven".
Jon & Kate should know the full meaning behind that scripture. I don't doubt that some jealousy has played a role in the loss of family and friends, but when there in NO ONE around, you need to look deep within. If the body guard and his family is all that is left, well that speaks volumes.
If you are reading this Kate, think about it. To go from adored to hated, come on Kate wise up! Remember, "You reap what you sow".
tparker
If you people really hate the show, quit watching it. Write the sponsers and tell them you will no longer purchase their products, and stick to your guns! Other wise TLC will continue with its hit, its good money. I for one have quit watching the show. I have heard it said if you have Tivo or a DVR they can still determine how many viewers are watching. I refuse to give them the ratings.
Kapaccino
That's right - the only way to 'stop the insanity' is to quit watching.
egamemnar
Did any of you catch the "other show" about raising sextuplets. It was on the other night and it is a real mom and dad raising 6 babies. Wonder if they too will beocme jaded. Kate at this point could take a lesson.
I don't watch John and Kate the trainwreck. TLS should do the right thing and take them off the air.
I did see on the news where Kate refused Matty water. Matty asking for a drink and kate whips out the water, takes a big long drink herself then puts it away while Matty whines that she is thirsty and how Kate is mean for drinking it in front of her. My question is "Why can't Matty have a drink?" Kate should be up for the worst Mom award....
egamemnar
Tanya, in reply to your question "Can we do something about these people so we can get them off the air?Don’t you all think that this marriage story is a scam so they can get better ratings and more money per episode?"
I really think Kate is a B&^%H and that John stepped out on her, I really think Kate is a sucky mom and I don't believe any of it is for ratings. I think their lives are falling apart. What is sad is THEY are cashing in on it. Who would do that. I guess money is the root of all evil, huh. Gosselins are case in point.
egamemnar
Vivian, are you kidding me? "I think Kate is a wonderful Mom. She always cooks, cleans, plans outings with her kids, etc." SHE HIRES PEOPLE WHO DO THIS THEN COMPLAINS ABOUT HOW HARD HER DAY WAS.
"John seems “disconnected” and resentful to me and I think she has grown to treat him the way she HAS to in order to get him to participate. " SO IN ORDER TO HAVE YOUR HUSBAND PARTICIPATE YOU HAVE TO TREAT HIM LIKE A DOG AND HUMILIATE HIM IN PUBLIC AND ON NATIONAL TV?
"It never goes one way…she is treating him like he is needing to be treated, and he is acting like she has taught him to act. Both need to change in this regard. " WHAT???? THIS DOES NOT EVEN MAKE SENSE...HE "NEEDS" TO BE HUMILIATED? YELLED AT IN PUBLIC, SPOKEN DOWN TO AND DISRESPECTED? I DON'T THINK THAT IS HOW TO GET YOUR HUSBAND TO BE INVOLVED. YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO LET HIM BE HIM, NOT HUMILIATE HIM IN TO SUBMISSION.
I think the children are well-adjusted and will grow up to be wonderful people. YOU ARE JOKING RIGHT? HOW DO YOU SUSPECT THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN NEITHER OF THEIR PARENTS IS TAKING CARE OF THEM, THEY HIRE OTHERS TO DO THAT. THEY HAVE CAMERAS IN THEIR FACES AND TO ME SEEM UNDERDEVELOPED LIKLEY BECAUSE MOM AND DAD DON'T SPEND THE TIME TEACHING THEM WHAT THEY SHOULD. THEY LEAVE THAT UP TO OTHERS.
I am glad that get things “given to them”. I believe they are VERY thankful! I hope they work it all out and go on to have a great life together. THEY ARE TAKING FREEBIES NOW WHEN THEY NO LONGER NEED FREEBIES THEREBY TAKING AWAY FROM ANOTHER FAMILY WHO ACTUALLY NEEDS THE ITEMS, MONEY, TRIPS, WHATEVER. THEY APPEAR GREEDY NOW SINCE THEY ARE NO LONGER IN A POSITION THAT THEY CANNOT AFFORD THESE THINGS ON THEIR OWN. LET ANOTHER FAMILY WHO IS STRUGGLING HAVE THE FREEBIES..
Kapaccino
There's a poll out - who is the worst mom: Hate or Nadya? Gotta vote for Hate, at least Nadya is warm and loving with her kids. Of course that doesn't mean she's qualified to handle all of them, but still, she truly seems like a loving mom. Hard to fake that.....
And for crying out loud, TV did NOT make Kate Gosselin into the monster we see. I'm convinced she was hard-wired at birth to be a heartless psycho
egamemnar
Kapaccino-I don't think any of these families with multiples should be able to gain from it. I don't think it is good for the kids or the family (obviously) Let us have a peek then go back to life as normal people. the other show I was speaking of was on WE this past weekend. The mom actually had appeared on the game show Deal or No Deal. Anyway, they seemed like normal folks, bickered a bit as married couples do, but were respectful to one another. I suspect it is only a matter of time. Nadya and all the other multiple parents out there. If ya cant afford em without a tabloid show, don't have em!
Cathy
I stopped watching over a season ago. That woman makes my skin crawl. And as a dog lover, I could've never watched this loveless woman around beloved dogs.
She is the epitome of hypocrasy!
I think it's very telling that we don't see other family members or friends around. We know what happened to Jodi and Kate's brother. We don't know why we don't see much of the grandmothers or other family members, but we do know, don't we?
The woman who cowrote the first book WAS a friend of Kate's... no more! Does she have any other friends? Oh, yes, the bodyguard. hmmmm
Do the children have other friends?
IF you truly care about these children, stop watching, stop buying.
Also, for those of you who are interested, there is a petition to stop the show. Just google, "petition to stop Jon & Kate show."
egamemnar
I heard the news last night that the ratings for the show were down. More than 1 million people tuned out since the previous week. GOOD NEWS! I also hear that not only did she refuse water to one of the 8 year olds but she whipped one of the little girls for blowing a whistle while she was on the phone....She is a trainwreck and she is taking her family down with her.
Kapaccino
Yup, this nut job is losing it alright....looks like she's physically abusive as well as mentally.
Remember in one of the early episodes when she's reprimanding one of the kids and says "We don't hit in this family"
Oh yeah, SURE ya don't, you maniacal nincumpoop. What she MEANT to say was: "We don't hit in this family when the cameras are rolling"
Oops, guess she got caught....
egamemnar
Special announcment Monday from Kate. Betcha they are "seperating" or its divorce time....
Kapaccino
Ok, I bet it's that they're going into marriage counseling. Only because TLC could possibly be forcing them into it.
What they REALLY need is an intervention for Kate, send her to rehab on Mars
Kaya
I never really liked Jon and Kate Plus 8. I just normally watched it because there was nothing else on TV. I was horrified that they showed the kids being pottytrained. Wtf!? I feel so sorry for them.
When they are like, 23, people will come up and be, "Omg! You're from that old show, Jon and Kate Plus 8! Omg! My parents watched that! We would all sit down as a family and watch your life get screwed up together!"
And they are like, "Oh yeah. I remember that. Our mom was a bitch to everybody and the reason we didn't have any friends growing up, not to mention why we are total idiots due to lack of being taught our education. Oh, and Dad. He actually grew the balls to leave Mom."
"Oh really? I never heard about that!"
"Yeah. Dad left Mom an hour ago, you can get all the information in the paper in exactly five seconds."
I can really picture that happening.
egamemnar
Kaya: that cracked me up!!!!!!! Only because your are so right. TLS should pull the show. leave these people with what is left of their lives.
Belinda K
I must admit, I've been lucky enough to have never seen this show. However, they seem to be constantly in the news as of recent months. I have never seen one single positive thing written about then, whether it be a news article or a blog. I think that is pretty sad. Frankly, Kate sounds like the woman from hell and her husband sounds like he needs to grow some serious cojones. I don't blame them for taking the opportunity to make money while they can. But, there is no excuse for her to treat the entire family like dirt. And the things that I have heard that have been shown are nothing short of shocking. And now PA is going to do an investigation?....
Marge Kingsley
I THINK KATE IS SO INTO HERSELF AND I DON'T ENJOY WATCHING THE SHOW ANY LONGER. SHE TREATS HER HUSBAND SO POORLY AFTER IT WAS HIM WHO GAVE UP HIS JOB TO STAY HOME AND HELP HER RAISE THE CHILDREN.
NOW THAT ALL THE CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE GOING TO SCHOOL SHE NO LONGER NEEDS HIM SO SHE TOSSES HIM TO THE WIND??
IF YOU LOOK AT THE EARLIER FILMS, YOU CAN SEE HER....."HELLO."!!!.. CALLING TO HIM LIKE CATTLE.
WELL, KATE, BETTER HANG ON TO HUBBY BECAUSE YOUR WORST YEARS ARE COMING UP WITH 8 TEENAGERS AND THAT AIN'T A PRETTY SIGHT. YOU ARE GOING TO ALL THE HELP YOU CAN GET WITH THE ONE WHO SEEMS TO CARE THE MOST FOR THESE CHILDREN.
BETTER THINK TWICE BECAUSE MONEY AND FAME ARE NOT ALL THERE IS IN LIFE!
egamemnar
in my line of business we have a saying, "Its Cheaper to Keep Her" divorce means dividing ALL the marital assets (money, house, retirement accts, bank accounts, personal property, etc. It also means one of them will be paying child support to the other, and possibly spousal support.
I don't blame them for trying to make money, the problem I have is that it is negatively effecting the lives of all involved. It is clearly no longer about the family but Kate's greed.
Look at the Duggers. Humble people who, certainly are making money from the show, yet still teach their children the value of moeny and family. And I don't see Michelle hiring anyone to come in and do work for the family, they take responsibility for the children they have. that is what sets their show appart from John and Kate doomed fate.
The Gosselins are not humble people they expect EVERYTHING to be handed to them and Kate is just a hateful evil person. What goes around comes around and I will be interested to where she is in 20 years. Probably old and alone.
Hayden
I don't watch the show anymore. After Jon pulled up in I think it was a sporty BMW to the kids birthday. Then I saw a pic of him on people.com wearing earrings? You don't see the Duggers with lipo/hair transplant or a bunch of free crap. It's a shame TLC is allowing this to continue. They need to can this reality soap opera! It's like the show isn't even about the kids anymore. And it's annoying when people comment saying we don't know what they are going through, to mind our business. I say to that Jon & Kate CHOOSE to air all their drama. They are the ones that continue the show and interviews- if they didn't want comments and backlash they would have got out the limelight a long time ago.......
Helen
Here in Australia I dont know any one else who watches the show but me, so it is interesting to see so many have formed the same opinion as I have.
One of many things that irks me is the way Kate wants her family to have so much more than a normal family to compensate for them being in such a large family. I would imagine being in a large family, and being financially secure, would bring a richness to life that most people could only dream of.
sakura
I think Kate has turned into a person she doesn't even know hereself. She obviously care so much and post on varies sites regarding people slanting at her (she said). She has to ask herself truthfully what she is turning herself into. I doubted that she has the understanding of what she has become. In her world, she has become the queen bee and everybody has become smaller, so small that she doesn't appreciate or acknowledge their existence or achievement. Look deep inside Kate. I know it is hard but better to realize what you have done wrong and make good for the future. Being in reality show doesn't mean you are a diva and stop being diva like. The show is about your kids and you have got lovely kids. I watch the shows and felt in love with your kids. Many people will be feeling sorry for Jon. Maybe you should too. Get a fresh start if you guys can. Ten years is not a short time and you guys have survived the worst part which is when the kids were babies. If you have faith in your heart, you should try to use it NOW.
Kapaccino
I agree with Helen - you'd think the Gosselin's would be overjoyed with all that they've been given. But nooooooo, it's never enough. Fame (if you want to call it that) and fortune is their drug and they truly are addicted
Gwen
I read online that there is a "big" announcement on Monday, I wouldn't be surprised if it was divorce in the work's, but I also read that Jon has spent a lot of time in New York apartment hunting at the Trump Towers, 3200/month, do these ppl. really think that $$$ is going to last forever? Maybe TLC, will have a new show called "Kate plus 8" a single mother's show about how this poor woman will have to deal w/ raising them on her "own" lol...but behind the scenes she has loads of help...I think this show is a whole set up...these so called ppl. were having trouble making ends meet after the twins, but yet they could afford fertility treatments, sounds fishy to me...this whole thing is probably a whole TLC whitewash...I won't watch it anymore, I read the stories online, but no more...I don't even watch TLC, yes I'm missing some of my other favs; but how a network and two parents exploit 8 innocent children, it's beyond me, and I WON'T watch it....
Kapaccino
I'm sick to death too of TLC; as sick of THEM as I am of the Gosselin's. So I've quit watching it altogether. It's unfortunate that the other shows have to suffer but until TLC 'gets it', I'm done with their f-ing channel. Their stupid idiotic 'teasers' and their lack of ethics about what they put on their channel makes me sick and they should be ashamed of themselves. Again, it's all about the money and to hell with everything else.
TLC = The LOSER channel
Kaya
Thanks egamemnar! That just popped into my mind when I was commenting.

Ok guys, I just had to share this...hilarious!

LOL @ video
Cathy
I'm the second oldest of eight children. Even though I had the best childhood-lots of love and laughter, I don't believe in large families. It took its toll on my mother, but one thing she never lost was her sense of humor.
How often have you seen Kate laugh, really laugh? OR play and have fun with her kids?
She's a hard, calculating and humorless woman who has put money above all else.
-------
The other day, I watched the utube video of Kate and Maddy, the water incident. Not only did she deny the child a drink of water, she purposely asked for a bottle of water and then drank some in front of Maddy. Honestly, I don't even know how to respond. Actually, Maddy's response is on target, "You're mean."
As for Jon, he hasn't grown up yet. Very sad in his sports cars and earings.
So damn sad.
AND finally, I find it so oxymoron-ish that this show is on The LEARNING Channel. What a joke.
Kapaccino
Khate supporters are coming to her defense in regards to the water episode with Maddy, saying that if she were to give it to just one child then she'd have to give it to all the others. They also say, of course, the old standby: that nobody knows what went on 'before' and therefore we have no right to make assumptions. My point is okay, given that, maybe just MAYBE Khate had a tiny bit of reasoning for not giving water to Maddy. BUT WHY THE HELL DID SHE THEN PROCEED TO DRINK THE DAMN WATER HERSELF???!!!!!
Dumbass idiot, what a low-class loser
egamemnar
Kate, you have 8 kids, it is entirely possible that they ALL may want a drink at the same time, did you not mull that over before deciding to have them? Idiot!
Also, I am irritated that I read TLC is "ordering" the couple into counseling. Let the show die GEEZ it isn't worth the trauma to these kids.
TLC is as bad a the Gosselin's. So what if the entirme family is f$ck$d up. Long as you make the money TLC, right?
May have to start boycotting the entire channel and all of its advertisers. This is just out of hand now

Just read this online at People.com
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20286254,00.html
egamemnar
So, they are getting divorced (finally, put us all out of our misery!) and Kate says "I don't really want to be alone. I don't want to do this alone." Are you joking. When have you done anything? You pay others to do it for you. Now you might actually have to play with your chidlren since Jon won't be there round the clock. What a piece of S^%t Kate is.
Jon, you are a lucky man to fianlly be rid of Kate!
Karen
I taped the show last night and just fast forwarded through the kids and those ugly houses...what Jon said was something to the effect of "I let her run the roost for a while, now I'm standing on my own to feet" a.k.a. he has found his manhood/balls, I think he seriously read enough about this subject online and got sick of being called a girly man, b/c in the early episodes he seemed ok w/ being Kate's bitch...and lastly, we have dear Kate (I am vomiting as I write this) she said something about the title of the show being different, or not being able to live up to the show, or something stupid to that effect....OK here's my problem with that...YOUR marriage is going DOWN the tubes, and that BITCH is worried about this FRICKIN show....she SERIOUSLY needs a reality check...and I'm NOT talking about one you take to the bank and cash, this bitch deserves NO ONE...not even her body guard...I have see her, I'm laughing at the bitch! NO sympathy for her....
Kapaccino
Well, well, well, just heard the news that the twits are separating. Uh, duh, like it's a real newsflash and blindsided all of us.....
I just saw a clip and is it just ME, or does Jon look particularly puffy?? And Khate looks like I do after I've had too much to drink the night before.....
I'm glad however that Jon's balls found their way back home
Christine
So TLC is "The Learning Channel"? Well, what have we learned here?
-- Watching other people's bratty kids just may make you appreciate your own a little better.
-- A mullet IS reversible.
-- Kate apparently cannot produce real tears.
-- Jon is heinously ugly when he is drunk.
-- Marriage counseling and good parenting MAY interfere with your filming schedule and paycheck.
-- A man with no job can still pull in $75,000 an episode.
-- Having eight children at once can lead to fame, money, free tummy tucks, free vacations and sponsored products, money, weekly spa visits, a free home worth millions, lots of nannies and hired help, trips to the tanning salon, money, estranged family and friends, emasculation and adultery, book deals & signings, paid speaking engagements, money, an inflated ego, divorce, money, and finally... a cancelled show.
Thank you TLC. I feel much more enlightened now.
Noor
Okay. Well, I think the media has made Kate Gosselin even more hateable. But, really, it's stupid. She's just really open with her personality, even the ugly. Nobody's perfect, and everyone can be shallow..
So. I disagree with you.
How does Kate "expect" everything she gets. I've seen almost every episode, and she seems to be thankful..
And Kate didn't want Aunt Jodi to make money off of HER kids. She didn't care about what she looked to her viewers, and she still doesn't. And how the crap is it obvious that she doesn't eat organic? BS. And so what if she gets anal over things? Alot of people are like that. She's just in the spotlight. And she does NOT favor the girls over the boys. She treats all of them the same. Her publicist or people or w/e probably make her charge that much now. They're pretty much celebrities. :/ And how do you know she leave pee in the freaking potty? They've never zoomed in on the potty's or anything unless the kids were ON IT. And they're not chairs..
I'm sorry, but it just seems like you're not being rational at all. The whole frkn world isn't.
Noor
And Jon's not so great either. Everyone loves him. Yeah, he got his balls back. But, I think he's too into being "young" again. Like the guy from Juno. It's understandable, but he needs to grow up. He won't even give up his anger enough to atleast TALK to her. Even when they were still married. I guess he just wanted out. But he could have tried.
Debch58
Noor, have you been watching the same show we have, because I'm pretty darn sure you are seeing a whole different Kate then I am! Oh yes Kate EXPECTS, and if she doesn't get it's not pretty. It's ALL about Kate and kids made it happen for her. And yes, how DARE Aunt Jodi to ever make money off HER kids, the money is HERS, no one elses... got that, she sure as hell isn't going to share, with anyone, not even the kids! She made it clear that this marriage would be put next in line, right after her career. John said he wanted to try to go back to having a marriage and family, she made it very clear that was not an option for her, she likes what she is doing and she wouldn't give it up, even to save her family.
As for Jon talking to her, she never talked to Jon, she talked AT Jon. And no, she doesn't want to do it alone, he did it for her. HE held that family together, he did for the kids and with the kids, while she hung out in her kitchen and told everyone how busy she was and how it was so taxing to cook for everyone.
As for the pee, no, I have never seen the pee, but I did see when she took pictures of each childs first poop in the potty. Come on! Maybe a picture of them sitting on the potty, but the poop? Kate got what she wanted, now she will make even more money off of telling the world she didn't want it.
I wonder what her next book will be, 8 little blessing given to me with the help of that basta** father who is a good for nothing and never loved me and never helped and doesn't come around and hates me and his kids? Yes, I expect even more drama from the bitch, she thrives on drama, and make no mistake about it, she will take anyone down, including her kids, if she can profit from it or make herself look important.
Open your eyes... look at the REAL Kate, you know, the one SHE shows us!
Debch58
AND how do you say she is not in it for 'stuff' when she just took a WONDERFUL all expense paid vacation to Hawaii and went through with the farce of renewing her wedding vows? Tell me she meant those when she has publicly said she wants the career more than she wants to keep her family together. BUT, and she will play this one to the hilt, so get used to hearing it folks, she has given us a sample in the past,
parents of multiplies have a higher divorce rate. She had that one waiting in the wings, gee, if I get divorced, I can BLAME IT ON MY KIDS becasue I had more than one at a time!
Yep, she is a good Mom, her kids call her mean and by the sitters name, I can't tell you how proud that would make me if my child called me either one of those.
Give it up TLC, I quit watching when it was the whole group, I sure won't watch it now to hear her whine even more. Poor, poor, me, I'm doing this ALL alone, I have NO help, it's SO hard. Excuse me, I need to go throw up now.
Kaya
To be honest, I understand some of the things Kate does. Like denying her daughter some water because it was at a bad time.
But asking for water herself and taking a sip??? wtf!? (sorry I just watched the video)
Kapaccino
Yes Noor, I agree on one thing you said about Khate, that "she's just really open with her personality, even the ugly" However, the problem with this woman is that her ENTIRE personality is ugly. It's not like the 'ugly' side of her comes out occassionally, it's the ONLY side of her personality. She's ugly all the way around. The only time I think I've seen her in a quasi-sweet mood was when she was heading out the door to go to the spa. Then she'd return and it was always back to bitch mode, her default setting. Because that's all she is, a ruthless bitch.
Vicky
For the last 4 or so years, EVERYONE has heard that WOMAN--KATE-- talk down to her husband, smack her husband, second guess EVERYTHING he did, make him bath the kids, dress the kids, put their shoes on, BRUSH their teeth etc. All the while she was sitting back and doing basically NOTHING. WAIT--I take that back. She was SUPERVISING! She would toss out 8 plates, scatter snack like food on them, throw them in front of the kids, FORCE them to eat the junk BLAH BLAH BLAH. Her husband may not have had an outside job, but honestly, I can not blame him for staying home. I think he was SCARED of what she would do to those children. He does have skills, as we have seen him taking apart beds, reassembling them,building swingsets, moving them, building shelving, and lots of other father like things around the home. At the same time he took over more traditional mother jobs, again bedtime stuff, tucking in kids, blah blah. If outside, he was running around with the kids, playing and helping them ride their bikes. MOTHER was rarely outside--but when she was--always sitting and barking orders etc FROM a CHAIR. I never had 8 children. I had 3. They were each one year apart, so at one point I had 3 children under 4. I am NOT SUPER WOMAN, but I fed them,played with them, dressed them, bathes them, tucked them in, cleaned house, did laundry, and LOVED my husband too. He worked fll time but helped out when home. OF COURSE, I knew he was tired from 10 hour days, so I didn't bark or belittle him. I appreciated that he was doing his best to support us. I NEVER had NANNIES! PLEASE this is the part that is so LAME. I can see having 6 babies at once must have been hard. But these children are BIG NOW. WHY does she need help NOW! How come HE can watch those children by himself, but she NEEDS HELP????
NOT a fan of her because honestly I never saw a mother there. STILL don't and never will!
Kapaccino
Good point, why the hell does she need this tremendous support system now that the kids are FIVE??? And still in bibs???
But what really gets me is why this woman needs a frigging bodyguard, oh PUL-EEZ!!!!!
Christine
I love how Khate said on that infamous "announcement" episode that the show will continue. Anyone who gives a damn about thier kids would have opted to stop taping the show and go to marriage couseling. These idiots didn't even TRY that. But still, the show must go on, right Khate? Good thing TLC stepped in to pull the plug on thier cash cow.
egamemnar
I don't think Jon grew balls, I think Kate told Joh that they were done...what choice does he have. But I am pretty sure he feels some relief at no longer having to be her whipping boy.
I am disturbed that they are continuing the show. These poor kids. What kind of mother/parents would allow this chaos to continue. I mean come on, Kate and Jon are adults and can't handle it but they keep putting these kids thru "it"...What self respecting parent would do that?
I am pretty sure they have enough money, don't need a million dollar house and all the other frivolous crap they spend money on.
Also, can't watch that Orange County Chopper anymore cuz they are supportive of these people ... giving them 2 free custom made motor cycles and can't watch Emril Legossy (sp?) as I saw that he went over and cooked for these nut jobs. You are part of the solution or the problem and if you are helping to purpetuate this train wreck, you are part of the problem!
Kapaccino
I'm horrible when I see other people cry, automatically I start crying too. It's weird, like when someone yawns......however I see these clips of Khate on the interview couch with her eyes welling up (well, at least one eye is, the other one's hidden under the uni-bang) and her voice just a mere whisper of how devastated she is. And for the life of me I cannot garner one iota of sympathy - NOTHING.
As for Jon, at least he was the lesser of two evils for me. I thought: hey, here's his chance to run, quit the show. He's always complaining how his life has been under scrutiny and how he hated the attention. But does he run?? HELL NO!!. The show must go on, ka-ching, ka-ching. He's just as much a money whore as his wife, they both disgust me
egamemnar
I can tell you that with my son being disabled we have had the good fortune to be offered things at no charge (circus ticket, football tickets, opportunity to meet celebrities, etc) and also, due to his disability he is also eligible for certain monitary things just by virtue of his disability. I have NEVER not one time ever told him, appeared like, or insinuated that he was entitled and I certainly NEVER took money when I knew it was better served somewhere else, when there was likely a family doing without when I had plenty and to take money just because it is there, shameful if you ask me.
I am perfectly capable of taking care of my child and it seems the Gosselins are too, so I don't get why "The show must go on, ka-ching, ka-ching. He’s just as much a money whore as his wife, they both disgust me"
Its a shame isn't it.
I don't think the show will survive now nor will it be what it once was. Viewers are down and the entire show has turned into the same lives that you see your next door neighbor has. fighting parents with bratty kids. I can see that looking out the living room window.........
Kapaccino
Egamemnar,
I applaud parents like you who take what life has handed them and just forge ahead. And you do it on your own. You have pride and ethics, two qualities the Gosselin's are sadly missing.
I heard Khate say the she refuses to remove her wedding ring because doing so would be "a visable indication that the marriage was over, and it would just devastate the children". To that I say: WTF??!!!! It was okay for her to demean and scream at her husband, her children's father, in front of them. It was okay for her to be away from her children on her stupid book tours, WITHOUT their father. It was okay for her to roll her eyes and spew her sarcastic remarks to him time and time again on public television.
How's THAT for devastating your children KHATE!!!! Don't you think you've caused them enough damage?? Sweetie, your marriage started going sour the minute your husband put that ring on your finger. Don't start acting so concerned NOW for your children's mental health, you should have thought about that the minute you brought them into this world
egamemnar
Thanks Kapaccino, and AMEN! The marriage did start going south the minute John put that ring on the finger. I heard a "report" from an ex fiance of Kate's who said that Kate was "chasing the month"....A little apparent, huh?
egamemnar
Thanks Kapaccino, and AMEN! The marriage did start going south the minute John put that ring on the finger. I heard a "report" from an ex fiance of Kate's who said that Kate was "chasing the money"....A little apparent, huh?
jonhateskate
Hey, want to start a website blogging about Jon and Kate??
http://www.jonhateskate.com
http://www.katehatesjon.com
for sale!!!!!!!!!!!
egamemnar
johhateskate: why would would BUY a website when we can blog here??? Trying to cash in on the misery of others just like the Gosselins.
Kaya
To be honest, I can get why Kate has a bodyguard. With all her haters, I'm surprised somebody hasn't tried to shoot her already.
Kapaccino
Get THIS one: I read somewhere, and I'm totally serious, that Kate had concerns over being SEXUALLY HARASSED, and that was the main reason for the bodyguard.
The truth was most likely: Khate was just plain being harassed but she decided to put a spin on it. I mean after all, she's just SO damn irresistable - NOT
Helen
Ahh Geez,
Can't tell you how great it is to finally hear J. & K. discussed. Nobody knows them in Australia. Apparently they made morning news shows here and were described as being bigger than Brad and Angelina, or similar, in America.
Can this possibly be true?
Kapaccino
Yes Helen, unfortunately it's true. While Brad and Angelina have something to offer, J/K are a big fat ZERO. Yet they keep rearing their big fat ugly heads and the world has taken notice.
egamemnar
Helen, I don't know that I would go as far as to say that J&K are "bigger" than Brad and Angie...maybe in how f%$ked up their lives are. Brad and Angie have done more to be in the news about. They take care of those less fortunate, Kate and Jon take care of themselves, Brad and Angie give back to the community and other countries, Jon and Kate give nothing to anyone and go so far as to still take church offerings for themselves, and any thing else free for that matter. Brad and Angie do interviews about how the rest of us can help our world be better, Kate and jon do interviews about themselves. Brad and Angie work in order to afford the many homes they have so that while traveling to their destinations in the world to help their fellow citizens they have places to stay, Kate and Jon pimp out the kids on TV so that they can have a huge house and nice cars (for them!). Brad and Angie are secure enough in themselves that things like plastic surgery are uncessary in the big sceme of things (children starving, natural disasters, etc. They use their money to help others who have been hurt.... not fix themselves up. So, as you can see, Brad and Angie's lives are much more meaningful than J&K.
egamemnar
oh, I left out that Brad and Angie have alot of children but NOT so that their kids can take care of them, but so that THEY can raise children who grow up to make a difference in the world unlike J&K who had a bunch of kids to get the money. If that were not the case then when J&Ks lives started to fall apart, they would have jumped the TLC ship to work it our, but nope, they are gonna milk it for a few more seasons.......
Janessa
I'm off work today- I'm watching an episode of Jon & Kate at Disney. I really haven't watched a lot of the show before. Oh my Kate is always freaking out! Jon stop making the tea cups going so fast! OMG the kid has ice cream on her shirt. Geez It's a vacation have fun. It's so unreal how Mady talks back and throws this temper tantrums...Maybe if there was a little discipline with the kids things would be a lot smoother...
Anonymous
Just a tip for the gosselin that I hope sees this! - if they have so much money and freebies, they should
Donate the money that they don't need
Kick out the cameras
send the kids to a full-year public camera-free catholic school with strict teachers, uniforms, and switch-allowances,
send maddy to a manners school
send kate to therapy
have jon go back to college, poor guy,
egamemnar
I second that Anonymous. But I think what maddy needs is diciplined, not manners school. If my child threw the fits she does, stomping in the house (looking to be sure he was being wtched as Maddy did) kick things, hit kids, scream, cry, edtc, he would be punished. But instead, Kate laughs and spanks the kid making noise while playing outside because SHE is on the phone. Give me a break. I am pretty sure withholding water is NOT an appropriate punishment no matter what the situation.
out west
TLC publishes a statement that J&K will no longer be making statements to the media; next we see Kate in US parading IN HER FRONT YARD in a blue BIKINI. HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO Kate, will you stop at nothing for attention!!!!! Or are you getting paid more big $$$ by the P-people for shots of those new bubbies. I thought it was "all for the children". Wait till they are old enough to look at these photos. Are you hoping for a call from Heff next? Here is a novel thought, try and be a MOTHER for a change and not so self absorbed.
I live in CA and no decent woman in my neighborhood (one of $1.5M homes and more) would be caught dead in front of her house dressed like you do. That's what backyards are for.
Hayden
Jon & Kate call Mady the free spirited one.....That's not how are free spirited child acts. Her outburst are way out of line! Even the younger kids scream and act wild. I understand they are young and sometimes there will be meltdowns and tears it's every show it seems. There is no way I'd let my child act like that.... Kate says she does all this for the kids how about a little discipline? Instead of screaming at them and having Jon dealing with b/c your exhausted !!!
RodM
Kate is a total waste of sperm.
Debch58
Kate is a total waste of SKIN.

And air. She uses up good oxygen with every breath!

Don't forget toxic and a total pollutant
kiM
My husband and I are expecting our first children in two months, yes I said "children", I am have triples, the old fashion way, no drugs/intervention...just mother nature saying "hey you want to be parents, well here ya go take 3" lol~ I have watched a few J&K8 and it didn't take long to see how Kate is towards her husband and the standoffish behavior towards the children, it's as if it were an act, I am on bed rest now, so I have a lot of time on my hands, I have seen that their is another show on the Oxygen channel (I think) it's about a mom (who's a nurse) and the dad works and goes to school for his MBA and they "seem" to make it work, I watched part of the show this evening and the mom seemed genuinely loving towards her children, I guess she is getting in shape to run a marathon, well she was at the table feeding the children pieces of pancakes, and the dad ate a small piece, the wife mentioned about him getting weighed in the next day, he didn't sit there and let his wife belittle him like another wife we hate *COUGH Kate COUGH* the dad actually put another piece of pancake in his mouth and laughed....no one ever said having multiples would be easy; but it's sad that Kate has let this so called celeb-reality get to her, when all the cameras are gone, and Jon and her kids too, what will she have left? Maybe she should start liking cats...maybe she could be one of those lonely women w/ a dozen cats....pitiful if you ask me...
kiM
sorry I spelled triplets wrong...my brain power is being drained by the babies...lol
Helen
And another thing..
If the kids learn it's ok to muck up in front of adults, i.e. camera people, with no consequences, isn't that a bit confusing for them? Do you not have child welfare agencies over there?
Kate's most positive role in life has been being so objectionable as to make Jon look acceptable!
Helen
Ahhhh!
Just watched as Witchy Poo would not let the kids have cupcakes on their fourth birthday. The kids will be fine, but it speaks volumes about her. Someone stop me from watching!
Elizabeth
I think Kate is doing all of this because of all the stress with her kids and everything, but truly i agree she has been acting like a total jerk. I mean come on! She acts like she's the most important out of everyone and everything!!! I know she loves her kids but she "is" a total diva. She threatened the neighbors that she will have them arrested if they tell anyone where she lives. Oh and Kate gets mad at Jon when has an affair, but when Kate does-EXCUSES!!!
Debch58
Who cares where she lives and why would she care if the world knows, after all she has her 'body guard' to keep her safe. If I were a neighbor and she told me that, I would be taking out buildboards to point the way to anyone and everyone.
Does she think people wants to stop by and ask who her hairdresser is so they to can look like a beauty school drop out who is pissed off got ahold of them?
She truly does think that she is all that and the whole entire world revolves around her.
Pity, pity, pity.
out west
Elizabeth - that is too funny. Kate is obviously not the brighest bulb in the basket as I live in CA and months ago I found the address and a site where there was a photo with a map as to the location of their house. There is plenty of info on the internet if someone wants to know where they are without her threatening the neighbors. I only looked as I am not familiar with PA and wanted to see how far it was from where they were before and was amazed at the info that was available.
Hayden
I was on line and I came across something - Saying Jon and the Dr's daughter (22) who did Kate's tummy tuck are going to Paris for a trip soon...I'm no fan of Kate but Jon is turning into a real jerk.
* Another point is if he wants to lead a "normal" life and not be in the media. Then why was he taking pics and signing autographs outside his home on father's day?Ugh TLC please take them off the air.
Kapaccino
NO KIDDING!! I was 'formerly' a Jon supporter until I caught on that he was duping us as much as his psycho wife was.
His big cry-baby tears on the interview couch of how he was SOOO stressed - oh poor thing. He was probably stressed for about 2 minutes but then it was back to the ka-ching part of his life and how much money he could continue to make off of his kids.
Both of them are sorry-ass idiots
Cookie
Hi I have finally decided it was time to stop watching Jon & Kate & Eight because I feel so sad for the little boys. Yes, Kate likes to be in control and it is obvious she must have some problems with men because she loves to castrate Jon any opportunity she can. In my home, I could never get away with this. My husband would pitch a fit if I ever said anything derogatory in public. Besides, where's the respect. How did Kate learn this? Was she abused as a child? Did her parents talk like that?
Jon also makes me mad for being such a whimp. I know now that he won't be under any woman's control. I just hope that he stays loving to the girls but most of all to the boys. Yes, Kate seems to favor the girls more and they all act just like her. The boys are cute, curious and adorable. I want this show to come to an end. We in America are tired of the husband bashing, the poor mommy attitudes, the OCD, the crabbiness. Bring back shows like The Bill Cosby SHow, 7th Heaven, etc. SHow us some good values like The Duggars or even Table for 12.
Peggy
Cosby show - values? Are you serious. Didnt Bill Cosby have a love child that he didnt want known?
Kaya
I think they should bring back Full House. I loved that show, and it sort of teaches values.
Kiki
Kate-
" I have a...VERY big announcement to make...(sobs a little)...this could very well change my entire life 'sniffle'...I don't know how this could affect my family...but I will go along with it...I'M CHANGING MY HAIRSTYLE!yay...?(flips bangs to opposite side) Oh...I'm also divorcing with john because i like my pockets to be full of $$$...no biggie.
John-
I am divorcing with Kate for the well-being for my children. They do not like her and I do NOT remember what I saw in her. Behind that "angry soccer-mom backwards mullet" hairstyle of hers is ONE EVIL CHICK!
Kate-
I don't know what he's talking about...(she's growing horns!)
I care about my kids as much as he does. Maybe a little less...Mamma likes her $$$!
John-
...No Comment...
(this did not actually happen....but wouldn't it be weird if it did???)
Kaya
LOL @ Kiki
Kiki
LOL is so right!(high fives Kaya)
Kiki
Kate makes me feel so good about myself! Like...NO MOM COULD BE AS BAD AS HER! If yu aren't like her...you must be a good mom! I also feel like walking up to her and slapping her silly (or in her case SILLY-ER) until she passes out then taking pics of her unconcous body with my cell and sending it to everyone i know...lol...that would really be funny!
Kaya
xD -high fives back-
Hayden
So now the word is Kate kicked Jon out a year ago. At that time he went to go stay with the Dr. who did Kate's tummy tuck..WHO in the hell stays with their Dr. when they are separated- unless there was something already going on. I saw a commercial Aug 3 they are back on the air. Kate all alone camping with the kids.. Seriously get off t.v - try to fix your life and try to go back to normal.... but I guess in her case....The show must go on! Sad...
egamemnar
The only way this show is going off the air is if WE all stop watching. I note a few of you start out by saying "I just watched _______episode". If you want it to go away, you have to stop watching, the ratings will then go down. As long as we tune it, it will stay put.
tparker
The last episode I watched was Kate in the kitchen looking out the window of her new home saying, "Its mine all mine,etc." I see the previews because I still watch TLC, but I will not even sneak a peak at this greedy woman. She is getting rewarded for her greed and controlling behavior every time someone tunes in. So if you dislike what she represents, STOP WATCHING! Write the sponsors and tell them you will no longer purchase their products. They are given free products to display around the home. Those are the ones you go after. Unite people, unite!
Kiki
Kate really doesn't deserve to have anyone...not even a dog or a pet hamster...she would probably divorce with that too...
Kiki
Yeah..My daughter and I stopped watching a LONG time ago...:P
Its not interesting anymore..its all "wahh" and "sob"
NO ONE WANTS TO WATCH SOB STORIES ON TLC!
but you have to admit...those pics of her on magazines does make her look like an idiot.. ha ha ha ha ():P

I am hearing in the news how john is running around dating every woman he can get his hands on (or so it seems) Wonder how Kate is taking to that? She is probably mad as a hornet seeing as she is now home all alone having to look after her children.
I have stopped watching shows that support the Gosselins such as the Orange County Chopper show since they gave the gosselins free motorcycles, Ace of Cakes since they had the gosslins on and NOW I hear how one of the housewifes of New York or whatever is hanging with John...I will give up everything that has to do with them. I have blocked TLC from my televisions so we no longer even breeze by that channel when channel surfing.
egamemnar
Kiki, you are a riot!!!!! Oh, and serves Kate just a little bit right that her husband would start messing with her plastic surgeons daughter. HA! and I understand that this young lady thought Jon and her were in love only to find john dating another woman who has resigned from her job for the love of a Gosselin. Taking it a little extreme dontcha think since John ins't even divorce yet is he? Might wanna put the breaks on quiting your job to be with this flash in the pan "celebrity"!
egamemnar
cookie, as to your question "How did Kate learn this? Was she abused as a child?" I wouldn't be surprised as Kate has not much to do with her family (or maybe they have nothing to do with her) But her behavior, wherever it stems from, is not normal. Normal people don't berate, disrespect, belittle and just plain be mean to the people they profess to love. At least none of the "normal" people I know behave that way. Most are kind and loving most of the time....What does this behavior say about kate. That she has some OCD, that she was abused and/or neglected as a child, obviously she was not taught mothering skills. Wonder if she has sought any mental health help, maybe some parenting classes....Couldn't hurt, right?
Patricia Butler
The crucial thing is neither of them appear truly interested in nurturing their children. Yes, nurturing includes feeding and clothing children and looking to their safety and education, but first and foremost, children need love. All Kate does is bark orders. The children only seem to get real affection from baby sitters. That's why the children constantly fight and cry around the parents , they're begging for affection. Call nanny 911 for the love of God! Get some help, see how it's done. Because they give the children no emotional interaction, the children are really abused. What is going to happen to them? What is happening to them now?
wow
Who is more hated in America? Kate Gosselin or Joe Jackson?
katehate
Tell me some more of the crappy things she has done on the episodes. I have only seen a few episodes but I immediately didn't like her. What if Jon constantly belittled her appearance and asked her to get a boob job or bleached blond hair? She is not nice. One episode I saw where she wouldn't order her own food at a restaurant because she wanted to share jon's crab cakes and he told her' order your own' yet she refused but kept taking bites of his saying 'I want more of that!" well - he said order your own - bitch! anyhow - if i made my two year old wait for me to wipe him when he potties then he woudl be up and poo would be everywhere. HOW does she have such a clean house?? Does she really clean all the time?? I have only one and I clean a large percent of the time (but I make an effort to play with him and also teach him things and take care of him (feed, bathe, etc.) point is - my house is not spotless - the floor gets filthy in one day - and I clean alot!! oh but i do work fulltime as a teacher too -
katehate
Don't worry - not as a English grammar teacher!

# wow....
Joe's kids are raised, he can still hurt them mentally, but not physically. Kate's kids are being absued EVERY SINGLE DAY by what is going on around them. They can't walk away!
My vote. Kate is the worst parent alive.
The more the drama goes on, the more both her AND Jon damage those kids. Maddy is already past the line in the sand, all the others are close behind.
No one stepped in to help the Jacksons, someone needs to stop these 2 self centered parents, and anyone who watches and supports thier show.
NEW SHOW ON MONDAY NIGHT I keep reading. Yippee Skipee... I'd rather have my eyes cut out as to think I was putting money in Kate's pocket.
Even if it weren't for her being a total bitch to everyone and anyone around, I'd feel bad about being a part of paying for her haircuts!
Guess I'm just spoiled because I have a family who care about one another. I like my husband, my sisters, their husbands and kids, I even like my own kid. Kate likes no one unless she can use them, and when she is doen with them, out. Jon apparently likes no one unless they give him the feelings of love he never got from Kate.
I'm still confused over them going to Hawaii and renewing their wedding vows and having the 2nd wedding to proclaim their everlasting love. Some people will do ANYTHING to get a free trip. And while I'm on a roll, what about the show opening,
BUT WE ARE A FAMILY, AND WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER.
Excuse me while I go find a trashcan to puke in.
Hayden
I get on line to check my e-mail and SOMETHING is always in the news about these 2. They are the 2 biggest pieces craps around. Kate swears she didn't cheat with the bodyguard yet she doesn't replace him - then she is looking for a place in MD so she has a place when Jon is with the kids. That's where the bodyguard lives. Whatever Kate....Then Jon - Mr. I don't want to be in front of the cameras anymore... He does a good of avoiding them doesn't he? .. Hanging with Michael Lohan.... Um yea Jon - That's a great source for parenting advice.. ugh...
Kiki
Jon's just as idiotic as Kate...kate's depressed yet she's trying to get ''happy''...and Jon has a new girlfriend every 10 minutes!
its like..."kate,TAKE SOME MEDS!" and "Jon!MAKE UP YOUR MIND!" yeesh... \/
/\ D
Kiki
Thank you eggamer...i am the funniest within my circle of kate dispisers...
Kaya
What I found really funny was how surprised Kate was acting about the divorce, and how calm Jon was.
Kate: I didn't expect this to happen! I was just counting my money one day and planning on how to ruin my children's future again when Jon gave me the papers!
Jon: -shows no emotion as usual-
Seriously. I think Jon lacks the ability to show emotions.
J
There is a special place in hell for these idoits...and all the foolish people that actually pay them any attention.
Just STOP watching their stupid show and they will go away.
Debch58
Jon shows no emotions because he learned to shut down about 10 minutes after he was married! You teach people how to treat you, and he taught Kate that she could use him for her whipping boy. When he woke up one day and decided he wasn't going to take her crap anymore, he turned into another kind of loser, one who is on the prowl for someone who will show him love and support and approval, all the things he never got from Kate, and apparently not when he was growning up either. I liked him for a long time, then he decided that in his own way he was just like her. ME ME ME. Look at me, I have a cutie on my arm. Look at me, I drive a hot car. Look at me, I'm gonna be somebody when I grow up. To bad it doesn't include being a father, oh wait, he needs the kids to make his childrens clothing line. Yep, 2 peas in a pod. Can't be married becasue they are so much alike now. Worked when they balanced each other out.
I would watch a show if it had all the people who know the two losers on there telling all the dark secrets! All the family and friends are taking the high road on this one, but man could they make the money! Guess they don't want to be tied up in court forever, Kate would sue thier butts if she thought someone else was making a dollar she missed out on.
Why does TLC continue to allow those children to be used?
Shame on them.
tparker
I read there were over 10 million viewers that watched the new episode. I of course did not and never will again. I did however watch the Duggars. I will admit in the beginning I did not like them at all. Having watched numerous episodes and getting an insight on the family members I am more than impressed.
Principals, morals and values are what they teach. Whether you agree with them on their family size or not at least they are putting out a solid group of children. What will the Gosselins turn out like? Entitlement comes to mind, or its all about me. There are only 8 Gosselin children and 18 Duggars. The difference in behavior is astonishing!
They are in the process of building an addition for their long time friends, the Bates out of love. Compare that with the greed and overall "It's all about me" Gosselins. Jon and Kate have in the past given to the less fortunate but on such a minimal scale. They are no examples for us to be watching. Shame on TLC for continuing that show!
Kapaccino
tparker: I TOTALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE STATED!!!
Kapaccino
I call her the NO-CAN-DO Khate since she's either too lazy or not interested in doing anything other than going to the UPS store to pick up freebies, or to Starbucks for her coffee, or to the tanning salon for her fake bake, or to the salon for her stripes, or to the spa for her treatments, blah, blah, blah......
What a washed-up mess of a person
Turn off the lights on your way outta Dodge Khate, your time is near
Kaya
I remember on some episode, where Kate was all, "We got pregnant less than a year after we got married cause I was scared that we wouldn't be able to have kids if we waited any longer."
Almost exact words.
I was literally, "What the hell?"
Debch58
Kaya... another example of Kate living in the moment of it's all about ME. Her whole life is like that. She never loved Jon SHE wanted to win the guy--she has stated this that he was dating someone else and SHE took him away--- SHE wanted the ring, SHE wanted the wedding, SHE wanted to have a child right away. Jon has said he was content with the family they had with the twins, but SHE wanted 'just one more' and put pressure on him to have get pregnant again. Not unusual for one in a couple to want to have more children, but to PRESSURE the other person. She kept him around till he wasn't needed anymore.
Think about it... did you EVER hear the words I love you on that show? Either to each other OR the children? In our house we say it often, we never go out the door without saying I love you, never hang up the phone, and often my husband grabs me for a hug and says he loves me, always when we play with the kids we end it with I love you. Maybe it wasn't their way to say it to each other, but come on, say it to the kids for Gods sake!
So all that being said, Kate live for right here, right now, what can I get? The I should be big and bold their, because she would sell everyone of those kids down the river if she could get a dime, a free trip, a new piece of furniture......
Kapaccino
And now Kelly Ripa is kissing Khate's butt. I never watched Regis & Kelly anyway but now I sure as HELL won't!!!
And as far as Khate never saying 'I love you' - she's incapable because the only one in her universe that she loves is herself. And even I'm beginning to question that....she's mentally sick in my book. Just plain strange and psychotic.
The next spa she trots off to should be a mental facility. Even an intervention wouldn't work on this woman because she is what she is, it's not like she BECAME this shrew of a person. She always WAS, IS, and WILL BE....
And if her kids keep receiving all these free goodies and trips, trust me, they'll end up just like mommie. Nobody wants to hear that but I sincerely think it could happen
hulahoop
Ijust had to watch the first season episode, so I'm done. DIY network will demonstrate pitching a tent. How lame "and now I'm going to try to put up a tent" and she gets what???? $75000 for that. I'm done! TLC get a grip.
Kaya
I agree with the love thing! My family is always arguing, bickering and it seems like we hate each other, but we've always said I love you at least once a day.
Kaya
Also, I lol when I saw this description: Washing dishes in the bathtub was too much for Kate, so she takes the children out to relax at the beach.
Seriously. xD
Debch58
There are days when I really, really don't LIKE my husband, but I always love him.... and he knows that and I show that.
You know, I've had a really bad week at work this week, maybe I should just head on down to the beach and relax. Yes, I think that's what I'll do, just as soon as I get back from the spa. I do hope my nanny's calendars are clear so that they can travel with us. If not my bodyguard might have to step in and play Daddy. Oh wait, maybe I could get my soon to be X husbands girlfriendS to go along and help. Oh the stress.....
Kaya
I was okay with Kate going to the spa ONCE. Mainly because EVERY SINGLE WOMAN NEEDS TO GO TO THE SPA OR HAVE A HOME SPA DAY TO RELAX AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
Then she seemed to have them every week.
No more likie.
Hayden
LMAO @ Debch58!!!! Life is soooo hard when everyone is doing the work for her! LOL
This women as zero emotion I watch Good Morning America before work- and super mom (eyeroll) Kate was on there. She's like the Grinch her heart needs to grow. I'm doing this for my kids blah blah blah...Seriously do you want a round of applause? Your not the only single mom trying to make it-Hell you get 10x's the help and freebies...
Kapaccino
Shrew- woman was talking/whispering to Meredith Viera and I could barely hear her!!! WTF??!! From her ear-piercing 'Hell-OOO's' to THIS? Her role portrayal as 'victim' made me almost puke. This idiot needs to build a bridge and get over herself and quit torturing others with her, well, with her existence
Kaya
Her ear-piercing HELL-OOOs are gone!? Thank god. It got on my nerves.
Kiki
i wonder if she got surgery to make her voice that loud..
*when the show's over i think i know what kate could be...Cuban dictator..no! the Boogeyman! Her butt-ugly hair would sure get my kids into their beds! LOL
Kaya
Rofl @ Kiki xD
Kiki
I'm serious! Kate Gosselin would be the PERFECT Cuban dictator! She's mean, scary, and her hair makes small children cry and wet themselves! Just look at her kids! They're terrified of her!
Kaya
So true. I'm half-wondering if she's related to Sonic Boom. (Dude from Sky High that has the really loud voice)
Hayden
LOL! Ms. I do it all for my kids so they will have memories! Yea memories of you screaming and being overly anal - and memories of Jon being a schmuck . Please! If you really love your kids you would have stopped a long time ago..... With ALL that free sh!t maybe TLC should have offered FREE parenting classes or FREE marriage consoling....HAHAHA
ANN
Shut up Kate. Stop whoring out yourself and kids to the media. You have money and if you didn't then why did you have 8 kids? If you hate the paparazzi then stop filming and be normal. Jon, please you look like a duche bag now. Get real people.
tparker
Finally people are getting wise to Kate, they were down 7 million viewers. That is probably why she was giving an interview to Meredith Viera. She played quite the victim, speaking barely above a whisper and dabbing her eyes, and the frumpy dress, come on! No doubt she is trying out some new acting lessons or hoping to keep the viewers through pity. Who knows what is up her sleeve next. Lets not forget the Hawaiian wedding farce. Kate needs to take some of the money she has made off whoring out her kids and get psychological help! This woman is without feelings, anyone who can just cut all family members out of her life and be content is sick.
been there done that
I was married to a woman just like Kate for 14 years. We went to 10 different therapists and even had brain scans to try and save our marriage. It didn't work.
I cant believe how happy and successful I am now that I am married to woman who really understands what love is. she is unselfish and kind. between the to of us we have 7 kids. I can barely watch the show.... but I am worried that many women out there think that kate is justified in her paradigm. She is not.
Kiki
THERE'S ANOTHER LADY LIKE KATE?!?!?!? THEY'RE TAKING OVER THE WORLD! AHHHHHHHH!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! HIDE YOUR CAMERAS! AHHHHH!
Kaya
O.O
-hides cameras and all the little children and throws a giant blanket over the infedrofertization place-
What bothers me is that my mom told me of this black couple in Texas who had 6 kids NATURALLY WITH NO MEDICIAL INFERENCE! We should give them the Jon & Kate show. They didn't ask for it.
Debch58
Please BEEN THERE DONE THAT, tell us she didn't have the same hairdo! I can't stand the thought 2 bitchy, all about me, look at me, no don't, oh yes, do, give me, give me, give me, look at me, bitchy, me, me, me, me, oh, now I'm repeating myself, stupid hairdo women cluttering up the world and using precious oxygen. '
Are you sure it wasn't Kate in a former life? Maybe when you dumped her she found a new kill. She is really a black widow spider who just sucks the life out of you and when you dump her she moves on to the next. Maybe an alien. A science experiment? Could be, she just get's meaner and more hateful, and more greedy, but she fails to die.
I'm so sorry you had to go through the crap, but kudos for trying so hard before walking away, and GREAT big high five for finding that there is a normal world out there and going to it instead of doing the Jon thing and going stupid himself when he followed the light to the end of the tunnel.
These 2 should be used in class rooms a what you don't want your life to turn out like, or examples of money can be a bad thing.
:o)
Vett
Ok I know im not perfect believe me. I am just so sick of both Jon and Kate they are both so selfish. They both deserve nothing. I have been through the break up thing and its hard. But they both need to get real jobs. They have every excuse in the book not to work and quite frankly im sick of them. I wish they would take the show off. Its so fake now. There are so many struggling families out there that need help why don't people help them why do they keep giving to kate and jon? Gee whiz will we ever stop seeing them in the press??
Hayden
I agree! It's very sad that all this money is being poured into this family and show. Aren't the kids 5 or turning 5 already? Doesn't that mean kindergarten soon? Kate has no excuse not to work at the very least part time (other then her stupid book deals) and Jon worked when the show started. What happened? However when your in the Hamptons, France and parting with a 23 yr old ... how has time for work... This once church going family is just pitiful.
wendywonder
Kate is an AMAZING mother and you know it. Jon lacks discipline. Not the best match.
Debch58
Kate is AMAZING compared to what? Having a psyco mother who is belitting, demeaning, hateful, look out for only herself, and thinks that money is more important than her kids are? Oh wait, I just described the self centered Kate hersef didn't I.
And Jon lacks discipline? Excuse me? What is he, a dog? She should have sent him to obedience school if that were the issue. And don't we ALL lake obedience is some manner? Overeating, not exercising enough, not always doing the right thing, like sleeping in on Sunday morning instead of going to church, playing hooky from work, telling those little white lies, you get the idea. So if I hear you right is that all of stupid people who arn't perfect and 'lake discipline' need perfect people like Kate to shape us up?
You are right about it not being the perfect match though. There is no one on earth that could be a semi perfect match for that snotty hateful demanding critical crude rude mean bitchy egotistical demeaning demoralizing witch, oh and I must not miss AMAZING woman.
Thanks for the laugh WendyWonder!
Hayden
Nope, sorry can't say that I think Kate is an AMAZING mother... You might want to try an I <3 Kate site..
tparker
I just saw a report that the ratings are slipping even lower. Kate is now concerned about future episodes. They have enough, their kids have seen and done more than most children. If they managed their money well they do not even have to worry about the future. Time to move on Gosselins, you are nothing special or extrodinary. Your magic is GONE!
Kiki
* experinced science medic talking*
Kate Gosselin in number 1649.52 in a long line of genetic expiraments. Unfortunately..she had a serious flaw while in her larva stage...She is expected to melt her face off or implode in the year 2012. On a happier note, we have created Kate 2.0. She is like the original, flawed Kate yet with lesser flaws. We are expecting to put her in mass production in the year 2010. Since each model takes 10.9 days to fully grow..every man should have one in the year 2015. They do not need to be fed, never ask for the remote, only use the bathroom once a year for 10 minutes, and are genetically grown and organically harvested to produce several children with or without the husband/lover's help.
Kapaccino
Those tups seem like they're still in the toddler stage....I'm not ragging on them, it's just my perception. I think their mommy-dearest was destined to try to keep them as baby-like as long as possible, because, after all babies are cuter to look at than 5 year olds. Come to think of it, even Khatie is trying to look like a baby with all those widdy biddy dwesses she wears......
Kaya
Today, I saw this newspaper article in the grocery store about I think that Kate is now dating her boyguard. I didn't get to read it, because my mom needed my help with the food, but it made me laugh a little.
Dale
She's no better than Octomom, a publicity whore, pimping out her kids to make money!
I hope for the sake of the children, that the State of Pennsylvania steps in and places the children in foster care and gives the two "adults????????" another bit of publicity...charge them with child neglect/abuse
Debch58
I just hope those kids turn around and make at least as much off her as she has made off them. THAT my friends, would be justice!
tparker
That will never happen. I think Kate uses the kids as an excuse for everything. The house is for them, all of this is for them etc. Who does she think she's kidding. It's all for her and the kids are the money makers.
I saw link on youtube and viewed it. There is a Kate lover on there that is giving those who say anything negative about Kate a thumbs down. I think it is pretty funny. Check it out for yourself.
http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=TE4U_D7Fc98
Kapaccino
LOL!! That 'Kate Lover' giving the thumbs down is probably no other than mama gosselin herself!!!
I bet she stops and looks at herself in front of every mirror she passes and kisses it.....
tparker
Thats funny, I wondered the same thing myself. I think she goes in everyday and gives the thumbs down.
egamemnar
"The View" is now amungst the many shows supporting the Gosselin train wreck. Apparently Kate is to co-host. I will no longer watch that program. I hope the rest of you will join me in boycotting any programing that supports these people.
egamemnar
wendywonder, MIGHT WANT TO PUT DOWN THE CRACK PIPE. KATE GOSSELIN IS A DISGRACE NOT AMAZING, WELL SHE IS AN AMAZING DISGRACE.....
da goddess
OMG i love this site. kate gosselin is in it for her self. first she
gets rid of the aunt and now its her husband. for gods sake he
is the only adult in this world who would love her. i bet after
next season she's gonna start chopping the kids off the show.
WTF The View! I rather listen to Paris Hilton say "That's hot" for
an hour at least she knows what she is talking about.
But that Kate Gosselin needs a serious wake up call. THE
PUBLIC DOESNT LIKE HER.
angie323
OMG!! I cant believe it either the view is gonna have her be a co-host..WTF. she needs to stay home and be the mother she thinks she is. shes pathetic and money hunger devil. im glad jon left her. she doesnt deserve anything or anyone she just uses everyone to get what she wants. i dont understand why she isnt taking off the air. i heard jon is going to leave the show.. i feel sorry for those children.
egamemnar
da goddess, I hear ya re: I would rather listen to Paris say "that's Hot" too! But yep, I read that they asked Kate to co-host the View while on of the girls is on maternity leave. Just fuel for her already BIG, GIGANTIC head, eh? Possibly she should be home with her children, just a thought.

Angie323, they won't take this show off until EVERYONE stops watching, taping, T-Voing it. No viewers = no show.
Hayden
I can't believe "The View" I saw her on Good Morning America and Larry King.... Why does she even bother going on these interviews?? Her answers are ALL the same brief statements on I do it for the kids... She has no talent and it's not like we care about what she has to bring to the table on the view..... Why bring someone like that who is hated by a lot of people and has such crappy media coverage on the show? Seriously get another mom that has something smart to say?! So that way Kate can search Monster.com for a REAL job!
I can't stand this women!
However I love this site =)
Kaya
They've made so many changes to the show. Maybe they can replace Kate with a loving mother that actually DOES care for the kids.
Debch58
I read that TLC is giving them MORE shows next year. Keep it up TLC and won't watch ANY show you have on, I won't have it on my TV at all. Do they we are stupid? Duh....
Guess they are banking on people tuning in to see the final train wreck when she has a complete melt down because she has to do so much, and she is all alone, and she has 8 kids, and she is SO put upon, and NO ONE understands how hard it is being chased around having people taking pictures of her, sighs with the back of the hand to the forehead, it's just SO hard!
HELLO... no one cares, take her off the air. In fact, could someone please arrage to have her taken off the planet? She is wasting good oxygen!
tparker
Oh this woman disgusts me!! She went from a hero to a zero and is getting worse by the day. I will never watch The View again and if TLC isn't careful I will quit watching them all together too. Maybe people need to write TLC and let them know their level of distain they feel towards Kate. Better yet, write to the sponsors as that is the quickest way to get the plug pulled. Anything to get rid of this pathetic excuse of a control freak, non-feeling, greedy a$$ woman!
Kapaccino
Well, there's no way in HELL I'm watching the View, although I must admit, I never did anyway......but now fugly Khate is on this TOO??? OMG, she's literally being shoved down our throats
I agree, I'm so disgusted with TLC that I'm on the verge of not watching it anymore AT ALL. I kind of got into the Duggars and the Roloff's but if this Khatemania crap continues, I'm flat out done
My husband saw Khate's mug on a magazine cover in the store the other day and says "What's up with this woman, I just don't get it"
Yeah, sweetie, none of us do
Kiki
i don't think anybody ever got kate...she's just soo weird...but i just saw a pic of her in a DIFFERENT hairstyle...i almost cried halleluah! at walmart...
Kiki
Here a site I love me and my freinds love to talk about Kate. We even talk bad about the kids. http://www.realitywithoutapologies.blogspot.com/
egamemnar
I have already removed TLC from my channel line up at home. I don't watch ANY show that promotes this family since the only way to get rid of them is to act like they do not exist, ya know. The only way to get them off the air to show TLC there is no one interested but the fact that folks tune in to this crap and other shows that promote the train wreck is what keeps it going....
Thanks kiki for the link! I get so mad hearing about these people. I mean they are EVERYWHERE for God Sakes....next thing ya know, Wal_Mart will being carrying T-shirts with their pictures on it UGH!
egamemnar
So sick of hearing the Gosselins say how everything is "for the kids" why are these folks not able to BE NICE TO EACH OTHER AND RESPECTFUL TO ONE ANOTHER FOR THE SAKE OF THE KIDS!
Must be so reassuring and pleasant for these kids to have their parents fighting in front of them every time they get together for “the sake of the kids”. Do they really believe that hanging out together and fighting/bickering/arguing/ being ugly and hateful to one another is what is best for these children? Stay away from each other if you can't be nice for the sake of your kids
Just read that they argued while taking the kids to the bus stop for their first day of school... I am sure that this made for an exciting and peaceful morning for each of the children on what was probably already a stressful day of the new and unknown.
This is why no one buys that "we do everything for the kids" THEN FU%^&NG BE NICE FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR KIDS
Alicia
I have been watching J&K + 8, and I think that Jon is getting the low end of this fight. Kate I've noticed have been pushy and verbally aggressive and yada yada. She didn't that much sh**. I don't blame Jon from splitting with her because she bosses him like a nanny instead of working with him and helping with the kids. I dont agree with his choice of g/friend but at least he's not being a fake sob like Kate's a**. And another thing I believe that they should just CANCEL the show because they are putting pressure on the kids and the kids should be left alone and live a normal life they have been through ALOT of stuff. I take Jon's side NO HANDS DOWN.!!!
egamemnar
Alicia, they won't cancel the show until YOU stop watching it. We all have to show that we are more interested in the well being of the kids then being entertained by the train wreck that is their life. Until then, when you watch it, you support it...Just my opinion
Kiki
I haven't been on TLC since the first report about their devorce came out...I'm thinking of removing it from my tv listings..
but have you heard of the Duggers with like 18 kids?!? She's pregnant AGIAN!
Kate
Get a life people. Stop talking about Kate you dont even know her grow up.
Kiki
WELL! who do you think you are?..Kate Gosselin?....you're not kate gosselin..are you?
Hayden
I saw that Kiki! Number#19!!!! You sure don't see her on book tours or Jim out partying it up. I don't watch J-K plus 8 anymore but I do keep TLC for Not what to wear... I have been watching that for a few years now.. TLC just needs to can that show...So Kate can go back to "doing it all for the kids" by getting the hell off tv and getting a real job...
Kiki
i don't think kate can EVER get a real job....she's too scary...
Kate ^...i think you're on the wrong website.
like one of my former posts...KATE SHOULD BE A CUBAN DICTATOR! all she needs is the horse-jockey pants and the beret. (she already owns the whip...)

Kate needs to be in charge of the mental ward. At least that's what her much needed Dr. could make her believe!

(appears she shows up to defend her honor once in awhile, look at early posts by "Jack" pretty sure that was her) Take our advice, millions of people can't be wrong, you need to really and truly focus on the kids, don't just talk about it, actually do it. that is what would make you impressive to alot of people. As it stands now, you and your husband look like a couple losers pimping your children for money...but then saying "no we don't" which not only insults EVERYONE's intelligence...it makes you look stupid.
tparker
Kate you are on the wrong web site. The likely hood is we know this woman better than she knows herself. We know she is NOTHING SPECIAL! She is greedy and has way too high an opinion of herself. Millions of people hate her and in due time her kids probably will too!!!! The best thing this beast could do is drop out of site. Everything she associated with goes bad. She has NO friends and NO family. Her greed came at a price and she deserves every bit of it! For the record I quit watching her show when the greedy B%$#h was in the kitchen looking out the window of her new home and exclaimed "Its mine, all mine". So as for you Kate, I think we do know this woman!
Kiki
if you are Kate G....SUCK MY BRAZILIAN a**! there's NO WAY i'm watchin your show even if u paid me!

My ex-boyfriend and I had a daughter together pretty young. (I broke up with him during the pregnancy because I was moody and hated him for basically no reason.) Even though he could have just run off and basically just party with his friends and visit our child once a week, he didn't. He was there when I delivered, and he came over to visit her four times a week, and every Saturday he took her out.
When I was at school, my mother or father took care of my daughter, and my ex-boyfriend and I would pay her. She always refused, so he would just sneak it into her purse or stuff it in his wallet.
I'm not saying we were smart or did the right thing by having a child at 17, but we did our best to raise her. We did give up a lot. My boyfriend and I have given up parties, spending time with our friends and more. Every time I needed diapers or new shoes for my child, and I had to borrow some money to pay for them, we always tried to pay back. I always accepted help, no matter how small it was, and I always tried to pay back.
Watching Jon and Kate always made me feel like I'm a better parent than I really am. I only dropped my kids off with somebody to go to school, and I only went out when her father was taking her out.
Debch58
Neeke.... Cudos to you and your boyfriend. You ARE good parents, keep it up, and no matter how hard things get, keep trying. Kate is the exception, life usually doesn't hand it to you, you work for it, but the rewards are just that, SO rewarding.... you get those baby smiles, the cute things they do, the giggles, yes even the heartaches and sicknesses and hurt and pain, but it all rolls up into memories. When Kate is an old woman and looks back, she won't have the joy of happy family memories, or the satification that she worked to get what she has.
God bless you, you are a true insperation! Hug that baby for me!!!
Kapaccino
Nobody's gonna like what I'm about to say but those tups annoy the living crap out of me
They're not cute, they're spoiled rotten and I can honestly say that I worry more for those two dogs than I do for those kids
Ok, bring it on
Debch58
Kapaccino... here it is. I agree. I LOVED those babies when they were babies, but now they are becoming relflections of Kate, whining and hitting and fighting to get attention. Not thier fault, but they are. I HATE being around children like that. When children are show love and know there are expetations of how one should act, that is what they learn. Example, when you are in a public place you act like you are in a public place. When you are outdoors, you run and scream. When you are part of a family you help with sitting the table, picking up afteryourself and so on. Sorry, went off the wrong way thier. What I am trying to say is that they don't know how to act because they have not been taught how to act. Nor have they been taught the simple things in life, like the basic life skills.
And the dogs. Kate made NO secret that she didn't want those dogs. I don't think ANYONE should bring a animal into a home without all being in agreement. It is another family member. If someone is not in agreement it shouldn't happen, just like having a baby. They too need love and attention. Getting fed toys and having major surgery due to that 'attention' is not what kind of attention they need.
So, go ahead folks, beat me up right along with Kapaccino, but I say ditto to her comment.
Neeka
Thanks Debch58. I tried. I'm not going to college for while because of her, but it's worth it. (My ex is, but I'm waiting until she can be at an age where she can be home alone safely or until he gets out of college to watch her. Whichever comes first.)
egamemnar
These kids have been Katenized...what do you expect. they are merely chips of the block that is Kate. Children are a reflection of their parents and these kids definitley reflect the improper, self absorbed, greedy behavior they see from their parents.
egamemnar
FINALLY, Jon appears to be on the same page as the rest of us
-- Jon Gosselin said he despises his estranged wife Kate, and believes she took his wedding ring.
The reality TV star told ABC News' Chris Cuomo on "Good Morning America" that he set down his ring one day and it vanished. He said no one else could have taken it.
He also accused Kate of verbally abusing him and beating him down during their marriage.
Jon's remarks came from his first TV interview since divorce papers were filed in June. Kate has made a number of her own interview appearances in recent weeks
Kapaccino
What I don't get is why so many people are beating up on Jon? I'm sick of hearing how he's chasing after young women, etc. but I think once he was let out of his 'cage' he just went wild. And let's face it, he got married at a pretty young age. But more than anything, can anyone really blame him for going kind of crazy? No doubt he should have shown a lot more discretion but jesus, married to that screaming monkey-woman, hell, he must have felt the weight of the world lifted from his shoulders once he realized the marriage was over. And yes, I realize he chose to marry her in the first place but come on, who would have ever guessed she'd turn into the greedy heartless sasquatch she's become?? I'd like to see Jon take full custody of Cara because I do think all of the other kids have, in Egamemnar's words, become Katenized. Yuck
egamemnar
Kapacinno, I agree to a degree, we do have a double standard and if Kate were out rippin' and running like Jon we would lable her a wh#r#e, but, I agree, jon was weighted down for SOOOOOOOO long and endured the wrath of that BEOTCH....man, he almost deserves an award just for enduring her cuz a lessor man might be standing trial for murder right now rather than running around chasing young women.
i also agree that Jon should take the kids ALL OF EM and deprogram them. He seems a bit more realistic about what "real life" is but let's face it, they BOTH are keepin' this money train running. If jon wanted to stop it he could use the legal system and wrap up the kids future for the better. the money made I am CERTAIN is enough to keep them going in the life style they lived prior to the million dollar house. Only a judge who is blind, deaf and dumb would say that Kate is a model for these kids.
Hayden
I agree the kids are just bad.. Remember when they were flying? Kate again freaking out and the kids just being loud and crying... I'd be so pissed if I was on that flight! Those kids are just out of control and Mady needs something like a Swiss boarding school! (Ok, maybe that was mean)
Kapaccino
Have you guys heard the latest??!! OMG, Khate's been offered $400,000 to appear in Playboy. Apparently she was disgusted and offended by the offer (yeah, RIGHT)
I heard Playboy was in dire straits financially, looks like they'll resort to ANYTHING now. Holy crap, I can just picture mama G flaunting her tummy-tuck...
Kaya
OMG! I KNEW THAT PLAYBOY WAS GONNA OFFER SOON! I WOULD NOT SURPRISED IF SHE SECRETLY APPEARS AND THEN GETS ON THE PRESS!
Kapaccino
ITA!!! I don't think she's gonna let this go by......at first she'll be all righteous and indignant but eventually the ka-ching ka-ching of it all will be too good to pass up. AND can you just imagine where her HUMONGOUS ego is right about now?? Strutting her stuff and saying to herself "I'm one hot be-yotch"
Debch58
Come on Kapaccinoon, of COURSE she is disgusted and offended, they ONLY offered her $400,000? How dare they. EVERYONE knows she is worth so much more than that! I would say she will hold out and when they offer her a cool million, she will be more than happy to flaunt it.
Miranda
Kate is going to be a guest host on "THE VIEW" next week. She'll be filling for the other TV Personality I dislike..... Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
I wish I could see Tanya Harding and Kate Gosselin in a boxing ring and see Tanya beat the snot out of Kate.
Hayden
Playboy!!!! What? However she does it ALL for her kids....Just think maybe she'll end up as one of the Girls Next Door...haha eww
Kapaccino
You're right Debch58!!! I never realized that $400,000 is a meager amount for royalty such as her!!
Girls Next Door, YES, that would be right up her alley although I think she'd be so pissed off with all the hot young girls it would just about kill her - hey, not a bad idea!!!
chris
lol at kate lovers protecting kate. its obivuous kate can't find from the public that can see how fake she is.
And the blog poster is right. I am so glad jon/john frogt how he spells it. I couldn't stand Kate when i watch it. that goes with amy on big world little people as well. But she not as bad. But she is somewhat of a hypocritical.
egamemnar
Hugh must be desperate....and Kate, if she needed the money would have done it....the only reason she doesn't is she has boat loads of money coming in pimping her kids out.
egamemnar
apparently it is more respectable to pimp your kids than yourself.....
Kapaccino
Thanks Chris for your comment about Amy on Big World. She's nowhere even close to mama G but she's pretty demeaning to her husband. And then the kids start doing the same thing, ripping apart their dad.
I thought I was the only one seeing this...
Miranda
Kate is such a PHONEY!
POSER!!!
The bisch professes to eat organic food but uses 1300 paper plates every 3 weeks?
You're not very environmentally friendly, are you sweetcheeks?
When Karma catches up with you, Imma be laffin!
Neeka
Why does she get tummy tucks all the time when she supposively eats so healthy? Jenny (my daughter. Short for Jennette) and her dad eat healthy, and both are at a very healthy weight, actually a bit underweight but I can't fatten up either.
I honestly suspect Kate forced healthy food upon her children the second they went on TV, something I would never do. Jenny actually started out eating healthy. My old boyfriend, Tom, had her when she began to eat solid food and he naturally began to feed her organic and healthy food. She loves it, and the only meat she'll willingly eat is chicken.
No child will become a healthy, organic-loving person unless they begin from the start, or love it at the very beginning. If you start your child eating out healthy and eat healthy yourself, they will most likely stay that way, even after they become introduced to junk food.
The more I thought about it, the more I believe that Kate really does just force healthy food upon them when the cameras are shown, then just throws some steak at them while the cameras are off.
The only real good cooking idea I got from Jon and Kate was cooking foods from other cultures. My parents (sometimes Jenny) and I had a lot of fun cooking foods from other countries, even if looked at the results and gagged.
Then, Tom cooked what he would normally eat back home. (He was born and raised in France, but came to America as an exchange student then got his citizenship when I was pregnant.) I then looked up my own background, and I cooked food from what I learned about my orgians.
Kaya
One thing that gets me is how LAZY she is. Whenever she sees something happening, she yells JON! My kids need their pancakes cut. JON! Oh, Joel threw up. JON! OH MY GOD HANNAH IS ON FIRE JOONNNN!
Kapaccino
No, she wouldn't yell for Jon if Hannah was on fire. Hannah is her favorite - she'd yell for Jon if the other little snots were on fire though...
egamemnar
what is up with these men that they allow their wives to treat them like a doormat? I would NEVER EVER talk so disrespectably to my boyfriend and if I did, he would be having NONE OF IT! What does it say about these men who are berated and act like it is nothing? That show Little people, she does it, Kate does it, there was a show on for about a minute about a family with 6 babies, she does it. Seems Michelle Dugger is the only one who actually respects her man and her family!
Kapaccino
My husband and I have had a few blowups during our almost 30 year marriage but it's usually me having the hissy fit. But to be mean and derogatory on a daily basis is a HUGE no-no. He wouldn't put up with that for one second and because of that I just plain don't cross that line....he may drive me nuts at times but one thing for certain is that I love and RESPECT him. The key word: RESPECT
Hayden
I thought this was really funny! I was looking for Halloween costumes online today and what do they have out....Kate Gosselin wigs !!!! What the heck this women is a nobody-who would want to dress up as that crazy loud witch.
Kaya
My friend just suggested we get a recording of Respect by Aretha Franklin (You know, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Find out what it means to me, R-E-S-P-E-C-T) and hid it in her bushes or tape it to the house, playing full-blast.

Why does she get tummy tucks all the time when she supposively eats so healthy?"

SUPPOSIVELY IS NOT A WORD, DUMBASS.
It's "supposedly" for you edification.
Now back to Kate bashing.
If they sell Halloween wigs of Kate's hair then I am going to make a dummy and hang it from my tree.
Debch58
I was thinking today, Kate was a nurse. A NURSE! That had to be medical care at it's best! I'm in a hospital room, in walks Kate dressed as a nurse, I'm pulling off all the tubes that are keeping me alive, yelling at my husband, KILL ME, JUST KILL ME NOW, DO N O T let that bitch touch me.....
Oh wait, that must have been a bad dream, I'm sure she sat at the the nurses station and barked orders, no taking care of stupid all people who had the gall to get sick and screw up her break times!
egamemnar
Miranda, was that name calling really necessary? Must be hard to walk through life NEVER having made mistakes. Kinda Gosselin like, eh?
Miranda
Thanks Egamnar,
I was trying to be like Kate.
I'm glad you noticed.... it was a JOKE!
NO offense, I was only trying to be funny.

OMG! DID YOU SEE HER NEW HAIR!? EWWWW!

Bahahha! Stupid Hair!
And this morning the nanny reveals an affair.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Good for you Jon, even though you're a tool like Speidi.
America Jon and Kate. Now go away!
Hayden
I saw that too! Surprise, Surprise Jon having an affair with the nanny.....Yea Kate and her new hair do- Why can't they just be shipped to an island so we can be Jon and Kate free!
themoi
These people need to get away from any kind of media---now! We are sick to death of them and their 15 minutes of fame was up 3 hours ago.
I can't blame Jon for his behavior even though he is acting a complete fool---if you had been henpecked and put down by this broad all the time you were married you'd be a basket case wandering the streets in search of the "kindness of strangers" as well.
She is exploiting her "fame" (if you can call it that) for self interest only--she can claim "it's for my kids" but she is the only one profiting from it and probably spending every bit of it she can. Kids better kiss college and any kind of therapy they will need later good bye because there won't be the $$ for it .
They need to get off the air, out of the magazines and tabloids and away from any kind of media immediately.
C. Hill
I know this is an old post, but the info is the same as I have said when the recent train wreck has been running. I also recommended that she be treated for her OCD and that she is the worst of shrews. I really don't get the kate cult. I won't even say what I am thinking.
egamemnar
I agree with themoi, Jon probably was in ssearch of the kindness of strangers...
Just saw yet another affair
http://thecelebritycafe.com/features/33575.html
probably the one that started it all and why we keep hearing that Kate id so hurt..
and Kates hair, saw her on the news....Apparently my standards are higher than most because I too thought her hair looked like total crap, like she rolled out of bed and went ...meanwhile the anchors of the news show gushed about how great she looked, I didn't see that.
Stacaey
I have been watching the show since the begining, thought cute kids nice to see a family struggling with the day to day of getting by. Over time I began to really feel sorry for the kids and Jon and by the way I feel Jon got the short end of the stick. If he would have stood up to Kate and fought back he would have been labeled a jerk, so either way he is labeled a jerk! I dont blame him one bit in fact I respect him for not wanting to do the show! She is in denial for thinking doing this show had no impact on the divorce! A lot of people only see Kate as this victim who goes on talk shows showing she is hanging tough! Did any of these people see her in her prime screeming and yelling on the show? Also she sure has changed her tune on the new episodes! She never wore high heels, make up she was an ordinary everday mom, now she is a manicured, designer clothes, high heeled, jet setting, money hungry mom! I fell bad for the kids and what the future holds for a normal, sane life!
Kiki
i don't think they're EVER gonna have a normal life...they're gone over to the KATE SIDE...
egamemnar
Stacaey- "I dont blame him one bit in fact I respect him for not wanting to do the show! "
Hmmm, you sure about that, if he (Jon) REALLY wasn't interested don't ya think he'd get himself out of the spotlight AND stop doing interviews.....I think he is loving the spotlight jsut as much as his crazy wife.....
They BOTH say one thing meanwhile they do something totally different then what they say. They are BOTH hypocrites
This entire thing could be stopped if these parents would put other people and things above themselves. Neither does that....
out west
So the news is now Kate is taping a pilot for a new talk show with Paula Dean this weekend. It is supposed to be about "Moms" with the View format. I wonder who's backpocket TLC got into over at ABC to get her 3 shots in 1 week at "co-hosting". She was so out of her element it wasn't even funny.
Who in their right mind thinks she can carry a show of her own where she actually has to say something intelligent, that doesn't have ish added to it or um in front of every word...Oh no and does not focus on her, as she tried to do on the View.
If she were doing it all for the kids she would be at home with them and the $10M she has already made. I for one would not watch anything she is on!!! Nuf said.
Kapaccino
Oh yeah sure, I can see her yucking it up with Paula Deen!!! Paula with her southern accent and Mrs. G, like you said outwest, 'ishing' and 'um-ing' every freaking word.
It's like the networks are frantically trying to place this freak ANYWHERE, just SOMEWHERE - it doesn't matter, as long as she brings in the $$$$$
She needs to take her saggy butt and Roaring 20's new 'do' and relocate to somewhere like Mauritius and live amongst the natives. And TLC needs to go with her
At least she returned those poor dogs, I can rest easy now
Jeremy
I don't understand why the modern mother would want to look up to people like this, especially Kate. Hmmm, has no job (neither does Jon), has a TV crew helping her out around the house and has MILLIONS of dollars to supplement everything. That is the EPITOMY of trash. Stop treating these people like celebrities, they just want attention so do the world a favour and don't give it to them.
barbara anne
I just can not stand that egomanic, who got rich off her kids. Now she is gonna have another show. In my opinion she is just one mean, nasty, thoughtless self centered and UGHALE(ugly) person. I have two grown up children and grandchildren, plus i worked most of their childhood. My time with my kids and husband, was mine. I would not want to share it with the world.sorry, i just think that she certainly does not deserve anything. We have all made sacrifices for our loved ones. The only thing i can give her is when you become famous i imagine it would go to your head. Thank you for letting me vent. I DO NOT LIKE HER
Kiki
i don't think those are even her kids. the whole birthing process could of easily been redone witha couple pillows, a bunch of food, and a hell of a good editing crew.
egamemnar
man, I am going to have to give up TV altogether with all these other shows supporting these train wreck people. Now Paula Dean is on the band wagon? Sad that Paula of all people would even entertain doing a show with Kate. What does that say about paual and how she really feels about family. is it all about money and ratings for her too. If not, she would have said" no, I am sorry but I cannot be associated with perpetuating this train wreck calle the Gosselins, these folks need to get it together, focus on their small children and giving this woman a show with me will not help them do that" We will see what happens.
rock
Kate sure wont be winning any mom of the year awards soon .I cant understand why all these talk shows are trying there best to build her image up ,(unless there all owned by the same company ,who runs john and kate ) .she did nothing but belittle john on their show ,cmon ,u wonder why maddies the way she is ...hellloooooo.....lol
shes a clone of her momma .....remember the show with ,maddie saying , all mommy does is sit down cuz she thinks she a queen bee !!! oh,what truth ,comes out of the mouth of babes !
my heart goes out to john , he was the best parent in that relationship! all the while gettn beat down by that bbbiiaattcchhh kate ! shes never home to be even considered being called a mother !! never mind a good one !! go figure ,kate wanna be star ! huh ! aint gonna happen ! and for all u kate lovers ,I can bet your all divorced or soon to be ! if u think that what shes doing is right !
God Bless you all !
Kapaccino
Hi everyone!!
I'm ready to chuck my damn tv out the window, if this is all tv has to offer. With her big fat double-chinned mug appearing on just one network, The Loser Channel, at least I had the option of not watching. NOW however it seems the other networks are determined to force-feed this village idiot down our throats......
Paula Deen, Kathy Griffin (can you believe THAT??!!), Larry King - all of them who I used to really like, well, now they can all go to hell and take their little princess Khate with them
egamemnar
i AM WITH YA KAPACCINO! I thought that other networks had some integrity but apparently it is all about ratings for them too and they are all jumping on the band wagon. there is obviously a bigger group interested in these psychos than our small group NOT interested.
and Rock, she is appearing all over the place as they are doing whats called "damage control" trying to show the people that Kate is not that bad.
Too late, for me the damage has been done.
egamemnar
I do like the show "Flipping out", Jeff at least knows he is crazy, and makes no apology for it....since I can't watch the evil channel with "Kate and Jon be gone" on it I had to find new reality to watch (as if my life isn't enough reality for me!) Too bad we can't all get together and picket their neighborhood. They'd have to shut down the show or at least be run out of town!
Kapaccino
I love 'Flipping Out' too!!!! And while Jeff IS pretty anal, at least he's got some humane quality about him, which is something I never ever saw in mama G. And I love how he treats his animals
I haven't watched Kon for so long now and I don't miss it one bit.
I just see snippets of their upcoming episodes and omg I want to tear that woman's face off, especially when she's dressed up like a clown (not too hard for her to do...) and screeching like a monkey in heat.
No amount of damage control can ever make me like this woman, not even one iota. She's disgusting through and through
Kiki
i was watching the view on youtube with my daughter and GOD! KATE LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THREW UP ON HER HAIR AND SHE USED THE PUKE AS HAIRGEL!
egamemnar
maybe Jeff from Flippin' out should mentor Kate! Oh I would LOVE to see that. Kate ain't got nothin' on Jeff!
New Mexico
Kate is unbearable. The only thing that matters to her is the money and now she is even more obnoxious because she honestly believes she is a "celeb". Her hair is a joke (a modern mullet). Actually, I am surprised it took Jon as long as it did to leave her. I admire him for walking away from the money and Kate.
egamemnar
JOHN HAS NOT WALKED AWAY FROM ANYTHING! He is still all over the place just like Kate. He hasn't givin up the house, the show, the MONEY! Do you honestly think he is telling Kate "yeah, you keep all the money" meanwhile he doesn't have a "real job"....pualeeezzzz
John is jsut as guilty as Kate. the difference between the two is that John "seems" like a good guy and Kate is....well, a witch with a capital "B"
jeje
shes such a little piglet, she makes me sick.
Kapaccino
jeje, I have to disagree with you on the fact that mama G is a piglet - no, she's a PIG
However, she makes me sick also. REALLY sick. Overwhelmingly sick.
Low class bottom of the pond scum
egamemnar
Did you guys catch Larry King interview with John? I did....he seems genuine. We'll see. I do believe that he was pulled from the show and thought, "if I ain't allowed to play, the show stops" but I wasn't there so I'll never know that. he says no, he wanted to pull out and that is why he was canned...
No matter the truth of it, I am just glad to see one of these parents fighting for their kids and the kids having a normal childhood.
kate's attorny seems to wanna fuel the fire. John is requesting arbitration and therefore breaks put on the divorce proceedings so that they can try and work out an agreeable strategy for the kids. Kate's attorney is like, "NO"
Why not is my question. why wouldn't you want these folks to work out there issues.
Oh that's right, the all; mighty dollar.
John disclosed that they, "the gosselin family" didn't earn that much, just 1 million dollars last year. Seems the greed has gotten to him if 1 mil isn't "that much"
And the saga continues....but in my opinion, it may have a better outcome with John fighting for these kids.
egamemnar
jsut for the record, I don't think John walked away, I think he was pushed off the gravey train by greedy Kathe. But are any of us surprised? she got rid of ANYONE who would profit from her precious little money makers.
Kapaccino
I agree with you egamemnar - he got pushed alright. And he did seem pretty sincere and adament on Larry King. Really, can you blame him? TLC boots him because they can no longer control him and he says "ENOUGH"
Meanwhile, Khate really doesn't give a crap about the mechanics of it all, the only thing she's concerned about are the bucks. And her Starbucks of course...
mark
did you ever notice that john NEVER SMILES.
maybe Kate won't allow it.
kelly
I can't stand the selfish B*TCH - I just saw a posting on MSN website with a caption under it - I can't pay my bills - because jon took all her money - if she got off her fat a** and got a real job like everyone else - and stop sucking off people who don't have jobs to support her - that is her welfare system - i live in the are and if i ever saw her i public i would give her a piece of my mind
Kapaccino
Wait!! I just read that she would 'work at McDonald's' if she had to. Liar Liar Pants On Fire.....
Newsflash Dumbass: You wouldn't know 'work' if it hit you in the head with a two-by-four
Paris
Why does TLC think Kate G's actions are just? She gives good mothers, good parents everywhere a bad name! We, good mothers of America, are done with this show, this fighting! I am a "single" mother. My children and I live separate from their dad. I am not in love with their father, nor do I want to live with him. However, I cannot imagine speaking to my ex-husband or any husband the way Kate spoke to Jon. It amazes me she thinks she had not part in their break-up. She never respected Jon, and news flash husbands and wives MUST respect each other or the marriage suffers. Kate and Jon are a case study in for that fact.
Forward fast to today…Would you say publicly saying the things that Kate says? I certainly would not because I want my children to grow up without stress or concern that their parents (i.e. their world) is in anyway in turmoil. Does she not realize her children will see these things she says? The answer... She doesn't care!!
Also, how can she possibly be broke? How? How? You keep 231K in your checking account and when it goes missing you can’t pay next months mortgage? Why would you live so beyond your means? Kate has a nanny, a body guard, all types of people to help you, lawyers and more lawyers but you don’t have an accountant to balance your finances and pay your bills???? This is a real Joke! A sad, sad joke.
TLC needs to do the right thing end the show! I am not saying that Jon is a better parent, but without a doubt Kate Gosselin is a terrible mother and an even worse person. Ask yourself this, why is she famous?... Is it only because she gave birth to these sweet innocent children? The answer is yes and now she uses them to make herself famous and rich. News flash- Good parents do not use their children!- Unfortunately, these beautiful kids aren’t Kate’s only talent, in actuality, her talents are being mean, arrogant money hungry and selfish! I never saw Jon act the way she does on the show. And TLC is leveraging these reality gotchas by keeping this show. TLC never stood for tender Loving Care ( thank goodness that would be an oxymoron) but it does stand for The Learning Channel and boy are we getting an education on what not to do in life! We want Kate and Jon to go away. We want KATE to go away… If she doesn't the TLC viewers will GO AWAY!!!!!!! We promise!
Debch58
I was away over the weekend, only to briefly log on to a borrowed computer and see that Jon has called the divorce off. I was stunded to say the least, all he said he endured, all we watched him endure, and he called it off. Something seem a little rotten in Denmark all the sudden. DUH! Of course! Drama sold magazines, got them on talk shows, Jon and Kate talk EVERYWHERE. Who is wrong, who was right, who did what, she said he said, but it got lots of attention and the rating went up. Now all the sudden he wants to work it out? More drama, more shows, together, more magazines interviewing them, together, and more more more shows of them working through the tough times to help others in troubled marriages. Kids are getting older, not doing the first, getting past the baby cute stage, how can we keep it interesting. Hummmm, perhaps we could throw some marriage problems in there says one writer as they all sit around the brain storming table, oh yes says another, good idea, but it will have to be big, REALLY big.
Good plan guys, I'm saying it worked. I'm also perdicting that they will get back together, and they will work though the problems.
As for Jon screwing around, so what, it's ALL about money to Kate, and pimping her husband out was such a small price to pay, she knows who's got him by the you know what's and when she is ready to take the plot to the next step she will yank him home.
Why didn't we see this coming!
tparker
Boo-Hoo poor Kate! I despise that witch. She took the money and hid it from Jon. She has to account for the 400K she moved. She claims it was due to Jon's reckless spending. I guess unless it is for her swimsuits, hair (UGH) nails or tans it is reckless. I wish someone would slap that woman right in her rat nest!! Funny how she can turn on the tears for the cameras. I hope the public finally wakes up to this deranged lunatic, To whine about not having money when people are frigging losing their homes AAAARRRRGGGGG. She has plenty of money and don't let her fool you for one second. She will get hers one day, you can be sure of that. Thank heavens Jon did take the kids off the air, they were getting to be little sh*ts!
OMG I cannot believe I witnessed this. Yesterday at the Harris Teeter grocery store a woman walked by me wearing the rat nest of Kate, I had to resist a comment!
tparker
Oh and lets not forget the million dollars she made from her book. Poor destitute woman!
egamemnar
I saw Kate whining she has no money that her husband left "his children and their mother" and took all the money. Look, down size! Kate, I don't think a million dollar house is really necessary. Start using hand me downs.....I mean do you really think anyone feels sorry for you? You used your kids to make millions and now that isn't enough. Give me a flippin' break. No hard working man or woman feels sorry for you. Where is all the money from your book, and the Paual Dean talk show and the money from The View? All AFTER your husband left you. And he left you cuz your a beotch and you treated him like a dog so don't act like you can't figure out what the hell is happeneing.
But in case you can't let me spell it out for ya:
KARMA
Kapaccino
I know!!! I can't believe the amount of support this beeotch is getting!! Did everyone conveniently forget the way she treated her husband?? Not to mention everyone else around her. And now Jon is getting beaten up because he wants to take the kids off the show. Yes, I agree, maybe the timing was suspicious but the fact is, he's trying to DO something about the situation. Those crocodile tears of mama G. are laughable but yet people are falling for it. OMG, the general population is THIS thick???
I used to like Dr. Drew until I heard him last night slam Jon and support Khate; now he's Dr. Dick to me. He mentioned that he personally knew the woman who was the head of TLC and what a wonderful and ethical person she was, and she would NEVER continue filming if she thought it jeopardized the children. WTF??!!! And oh yes, being the father of triplets, he totally understood the stress Khate was under and that Jon never really supported her. Another WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF???!!!!!! I wonder if the good doctor's wife ever spoke or treated HIM the way khate treated HER husband. No, of course she didn't. So how he can up there on his frigging soapbox and spew his so-called professional advice amazes me.
I don't know, personally I think khate gosselin is the main cause for everything bad that is happening. She's vile and wicked and lazy...
egamemnar
Kapaccino, I am wicha...I am so irritated by this entire situation. FINALLY Jon steps up and does what seems to be the right thing by his kids and HE is ridiculed.....
It is unfortunate that it is all about the Money....I mean seriously, who cannot see that these kids are being used by their parent(s) to be money generators. Crying about you can't pay your bills, are you kidding me. there are families out here with no money who are desprate for work and meanwhile Kate, rather than downsizing and penny piching, would humiliate herself by getting on TV and saying "Poor Me, I have treated EVERYONE who is of no benefit to me like $hit and no one but my kis love me, not even my husband, and now that I am left with just the kids and money, it ain't enough, I need more, I mean, I gotta tan, and travel, and pay for nannies, and manicures"
I personally think Jon is being responsible and I give HUGE propts to him for making the decision albeit not the popular one among those who are on the Gosselin bandwagon to say STOP USING MY KIDS!!!!"
Go Jon, Go Jon, its your family, Go Jon!!!!!!
Kapaccino
oh yeah, and she cries: "oh (sniff sniff), I have a huge stack of bills in my purse that I can't pay" Ok, now apparently this idiot has a slew of people who do everything for her but wipe her butt (hell, I don't know, maybe she has someone do that too...) and she's carrying around her paperwork in her PURSE?? Sure, whatever.... And then she said she had eight 'sobbing and crying' children after informing them that the show would be halted. Oh, come ON. I tell you, IF they were sobbing as she says, they weren't sobbing because the show was cancelled, they were most likely sobbing because their fun 'little' activities were being cut. You know, like a dude ranch, Hawaii vacation, amusement parks, Florida vacation, Harlem GlobeTrotters, etc. etc., all the things that a typical normal American family enjoys - NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those kids are growing up to be just as materialistic as their money-grubbing mom and they turn me off. It's probably not the most politically correct thing to say but it's what I feel.
I say GOOD for Jon. No wonder he went wild, he was living the life of a caged animal with that woman. I'd have gone crazy too......
Team Jon all the way
Donna
Don't mean to barge in ... but ... Kate Gosseling needed to be shut down before those six babies Th were born. I'm hoping Jon can get himself together to take care of the children.
Kate will not be there for them when they get a little older becasue the beotch removes people from her life if they give her static. or dont agree with her thinking.
egamemnar
Nancy speaks for many of us!

LINDA
AMEN! Kate obviously needs treatment for OCD. But more than this, she is a classic Narcissist. No one but her can do things right. She treats Jon like a dog, humiliates him constantly, when he is the only one who plays with the kids, which Kate hates. No wonder Jon has had enough. I no longer watch the show. I can not stand to see her face.
Kapaccino
Holy CRAP, I'm ready to file for divorce......my husband just informed me that he LIKES Khate Goblin's, I mean Gosselin's, hair!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sharon
I am totally sick of all the Kate/Jon crap but I can understand why Jon has went out and did what he did. I watched in the first couple of years and then I got to the point where I could not take Kate talking and treating Jon like she did. She said she did this because he was passive aggressive. Well Kate how could he not when you treated him like a child. I believe that we will be seeing the villain of Kate coming out sometime soon which will show she is not the victim. One more thing, I am so proud of him when he halted production of the show. Oh my gosh they are going to go bankrupt. Well they should have saved what they had made.
Connie
I agree with a lot has been said here probably more when I get time to read all of the comments, Kate has always bothered me. A couple of years ago, I had to quit watching.
Thank you for posting this.
On a funny note. Kate's hair.
Is it me or does she have a hairstyle that looks like it was cut by Edward Scissorhands?
Kapaccino
Nancy Grace needs to cool her jets - anybody see her attack Jon Gosselin?? Whoaaaa, I used to like this woman but she lacked professionalism when she went at him the other night on her show.
She kept referring to him dating other women, etc. She even made fun of his earrings.
I don't get it - everyone keeps talking about what a dog Jon is for going with other women. What is the big f-ing deal?? He was a good husband and certainly a much better parent when he was still married to Khate. He took her blatant abuse and belittling toward him, he tried to take the high road until he couldn't stand it any longer. And now he's scum?? I just do not understand.....
And I've seen numerous hosts on TV making fun of Hailey Glassman's looks!!! What's wrong with her looks?? She's young and attractive and has NICE hair, but no, now even SHE'S being attacked
If I'm wrong, could someone set me straight???
egamemnar
Well Kappaccino, I did not see the entire thing with Jon and Nancy, but I kinda liked what I saw in the video I posted..(see above post) I feel like Nancy was saying alot of stuff that I would have said. Do I think Nancy comes off as "all mighty" sometimes, Yes, I do, and likely she did with Jon, but, I really feel like BOTH of these parents need to be called out. Jon is playing victim too in some ways. Let us remember that he not only cheated on Kate, but with a girl that was a friend of the family and not some random he met out at bars. So, do I blame Jon, NO not at all, Kate drove him away, but, Jon has some baggage too. My whole deal with this entire thing is that you rarely hear about how these kids are being affected. Its always Kate and Jon, Kate did this, Jon did that...who the hell is taking care of these kids as I lovingly refer to as the "money bags". It ain't kate if she is always off doing interviews, the View, her book tour, etc. and it ain't John if he is always of galavanting....These kids need a real life and Kate needs to pull her head out of her ass, and Jon needs to pull his head out of her ass and both of them need to stop talking and start doing...
Rant over!
I do know what your saying about Nancy tho, she is harsh sometimes, but, honestly, I think each of the Gosselin's have it coming. Hope Kate is next. Nancy would have Kate in tears!
egamemnar
I just realized, maybe Kate HAS pulled her head out of her ass, that is why her hair looks so bad! hahahahaha
egamemnar
Sharon, I am totally with you. they made enough money that they could have saved a nice little nest egg, bought a house with a mortgage that was more affordable (Duggar's built their house and don't owe a dime on it so we know it could have been done) and been set, but if yo ulook at how irresponsible they are, makes sence that they are irresponsible with money too. Instead, they spend all of it. Its like the guy with no money, you give him $10.00 does he buy bologna and bread and eat for a week or does he buy a steak dinner and eat for a night? Apparently Kate figured they would be rollin' in dough FOREVER! I think Jon is putting the breaks on that. GOOD FOR YOU JOHN!!!!!
egamemnar
DO THEY STILL TAKE MONEY FROM THEIR CHURCH, "LOVE OFFERINGS"?
Debch58
I still say it's all a ploy to keep the bucks rolling in, the show going on. They will end up back together, and everyone will have to hear about them 'patching' it up for years to come.
I think between Kate, Jon and TLC, they came up with this gig to cause a stir and get attention for them.
As for Kate being in debt and losing it all, I just keep seeing her staring out the window saying
It's mine, ALL mine. Maybe she should have said, It's the banks, All the banks!
Kapaccino
You know what Egamemnar, even before I went on this site this morning I went online for the daily news and once again Jon's picture is there front and center about whatever, blah, blah, blah, and I thought to myself: "Ok, now HE"S getting on my nerves as well"......and THEN I went here and read your comment and I realized that yes, BOTH of these idiots, are disgusting. And maybe this IS all a ploy. After all, even negative attention is better than NO attention. And who knows, it wouldn't surprise me if they DID end up back together.
Right now I'm getting to where I'm not liking Jon so much. But I absolutely HATE Khatie-poo.
And yes, I would just love to see Khate being interviewed by Nancy Grace - do you think Nancy would be 'softer' on her? It's only fair that Khate be interviewed as well - maybe she's been asked to appear and has refused. Khate's a bully and I can't see her going up against one of her own
egamemnar
Debch58 , I hope you are wrong!!!!! Pleazzzzz let it not be so. I don't think I could take it.
egamemnar
Yeah, I think Kate is probably afraid of Nancy. Nancy would chew her up and spit her out. But I'd pay money to see that!!!
Debch58
I hope I'm wrong too, but can't you see it coming? I mean these money hungery idiots will do anythign, and creating this kind of drama to make more money. After all, it's money, money, money. And Drama is a close second.
SIde note, my nephew said he was SO glad to see that Obama got the peace prize, it kept him from having to read a story about Jon and Kate or 1 day!
egamemnar
The truth is revealing itself slowly but surely....if it ain't about the money Gosselin's then why are you BOTH fighting about the money?
egamemnar
It's hard to hide from the truth. Its all very telling and I think that now they BOTH are being seen for the money grubbing, greedy folks they really are although I think John is getting a worse wrap than Kate. Bad timing or not, I think John is doing the right thing by taking the kids off of TV, whether it be to hurt Kate or because he was kick off the show, no matter....its the right thing to do
Zellie
When there is nothing on TV and I'm "channel Surfing", I often click on old episodes of "John and Kate Plus 8" and say to myself, "I bet Kate is bitching at Jon"... Click on show/channel and there you go... Kate is yelling at Jon making him look like a child.
If I had a dollar for everytime I have done this and been correct, I'd be making close to what Kate is.
Sally
The first few episodes were good intertainment, but then I started to notice how often Kate berated Jon in public/on tv. I would NEVER speak to my husband in such a manner for all to hear and see! Why would he put up with such, He (every person) deserves to be treated better! Now I can clearly see that Kate is all about Kate and who cares how her children suffer. Jon is the only sensible parent in taking those kids off tv. People should protest this show....These kids will suffer from this, make no mistake kate! Hey! There's a new title,,,,,,," Mistake Kate"! LOL
egamemnar
Well Sally, every time you channel surf and land on J&K, you are supporting them being on TV.
egamemnar
Sorry, not Sally, Zellie. If we watch it, we encourage it to be on. If there is no demand, there will be no supply.
bajees
Kate Gosselin is wack. She is a manipulative bitch that has a rediculous haircut.
Did I mention her hair sucks
Kapaccino
Oh boy, I can't wait!!! Khate is gonna answer all our questions on a one-hour TLC special!!!
How special this modern day grifter must feel, after all, soooo many people interested in her life and in her opinions.
Uhhhh, another newflash to TLC and Mama G: WE DON"T GIVE A RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as I'm concerned this idiot and her offspring are polluting the airwaves
Jay
Too bad Kate is ditching court tomorrow...even a court appearance doesn't stop her from her schedule. I hope the judge puts her in jail....money, money, money Kate....
You should be in court and home with your children but some things never change!
egamemnar
I work for an attorney and I can tell you, they will likely do nothing to Kate for her contempt. It seems she still hasn't acocunted for her portion of the money taken and it doesn't appear anyone is really that interested since she is the mother of 8, she will likely be viewed as having a harder life than Jon, the father. Our system doesn't always work.
Bellah
I hate this women. She is the absolute definition of white American privilege. There is a underlying racism in her actions, Her berating of John, her condescending attitude in the episode that featured Jons Korean cooking, and the children's discussion of who was more Asian.
Jon is absolutely right in his actions. The fact of the matter is that after years of her abuse he is finally standing up and saying no. Dont getme started on the money issue.
Rach
What I hate about Kate is how she is so disrespectful to her husband, constantly drags him down ON CAMERA where the whole world can see. If you don't love your husband and respect him, get a divorce (oh wait, she did) but don't drag him down in public or in front of your kids. Kate, you're a nasty, controlling clean freak. Grow up, let the kids be kids and stop bitching about your husband.
Sal
She was a nobody before that show, and she seems determined not to go back to being a "normal" person. I read recently that she is looking for perhaps a movie role. No, no, no. TV created 2 monsters with that show, and the only way to stop them is to ignore them.
Kapaccino
She is constantly saying she can't "go back". Really? I don't see what the problem is - she was a nobody before the show, she's a nobody NOW, and even if she "goes forward" she'll still be a big fat nobody.
Dorky loser...
egamemnar
she comes off with an attitude like she is entitled, like she is somehow different from the rest of us, better than us, and no one likes to be treated like that. She apparently is open to her own show or movie roles. The only problem is that unless EVERYONE stops watching and stops being so interested that they tune in even once in awhile, Kate will be here to stay.
egamemnar
OMG! and that hair, that hideous hair. What in the hell? It is horrible...I can't imagine ANYONE wanting that hair do but according to Kate "everyone" is asking for it. Funny...I have not seen anyone in my area with it....
Kapaccino
Ha ha, no kidding!!! I swear to god she cuts it with a lawn mower.
You're so right about her being who she is because of the media attention. I didn't watch her stupid 'special' last night, nor do I watch ANYTHING on TV with her mug in it, but I did read online about her 'in-depth' interview (gag me) and she stated that she's 'used to hard work' or something along those lines...........WTF??!!! I thought this was suppose to be a serious interview, not the comedy hour. Hard work, this woman??? All I could picture was the episode where she's in that white plastic lawnchair ordering Jon around. She wouldn't know hard work if it came up and bit her in her dumpy ass.
egamemnar
I read where she was asked what happened and basically, from what I was getting, she blamed John. But when confronted with "so, its Johns fault" she said "No"...she takes responsibility for none of it and basically says she is the exact same and John changed, the money and the fame has not effected her at all..paleeezzzz. On top of EVERYTHING else, this beotch is in denial!
Donna Gonyer
It seems to me that television and shows that are putting Kate Gosselin in the spotlight, (exactly what she wants) are forgetting that she sat on National television in front of millions of people and out and out lied to all of us as if we were idiots and said she didn't have enough money to pay her bills. How dare this witch in this day and age with so many people without a dime to their names, how dare her do that. How can Paula Deen even think of doing a show with a person like this. I guess I'm done watching Paula too! I wouldn't dream of associating with that kind of person. She has no business whatsoever on television.
Donna
Kapaccino
Yup, Paula Deen's right up there with the other butt-kissers as far as I'm concerned.....I used to love Dr. Drew UNTIL I heard him talk on CNN about how 'ethical' the President of TLC is, Elaine whats-her-name, and that she's a good personal friend of his, and that she would NEVER jeopardize those children, blah, blah, blah. He further stated that the Gosselin children are 'just fine' and he more or less rolled his eyes at those of us who think otherwise. I'm so done with this guy. It seems like the only people he's ever concerned about are those that have been sexually abused at some point in their lives, particularly in youth. If you haven't been sexually abused, then forget it, YOU'RE FINE. Jeez, what a dumbass.
It seems like all the TV hosts, etc. are jumping on the bandwagon and crucifying Jon only - what the hell is up with THAT??!! Have they not SEEN the show???
Debch58
Has anyone mentioned that she has a really crappy hair cut?
LOL!
Kapaccino
Oh, you think??!! According to kHate, EVERYONE wants her hair!!!! It's so horrible looking, particularly from the back, that I wanna slap her
EGAMEMNAR
NO NEWS LATELY, HUH. COULD IT BE THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE FINALLY DISAPPEARED AND ARE ACTUALLY FOCUSING ATTENTION ON THEIR KIDS INSTEAD OF THEMSELVES AND WHICH ONE CAN MAKE THEMSELF LOOK THE MOST FOOLISH ON NATIONAL TV. COULD IT BE TRUE?
joanne
Who wouldn't want financial help when there is 10 people in a family???? I believe Kate wants only the best for her kids and doesn't want them to miss out on things that they would miss out on if they didn't have enough money. And lets all face it Jon and Kate had no idea their show would be such a success. Last but not least any normal person with 8 kids would get impatient at times and have meltdowns and take it out on the closest person they have.
Judy
Yes, Kate wants the best for her children. But.... where would Kate be if TLC wasn't ever in their lives? She would be working full time (plus) to provide for these children they brought into this world. Kate definately comes off feeling entitle to everything that is given to her. We as the viewing public are able to decide whether her show business life continues. If she stars in another show and the are no ratings.... there is no $$$$$ for Kate.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but after the tups were born and Jon was jobless, didn't they collect goverment financial assistance? If (and I say "if") they did collect welfare or Medicaid, with all the millions they have made - did they every repay a cent of that money that got them through the rough time??
EGAMEMNAR
Joanne, while all of that might be true, normal people would also take a look at how this is affecting them as a family and STOP when everything that mattered fell apart (i.e. marriage) but NOOOOOOOO, Kate wanted to keep on going. Give me a break. these people can get real jobs just like the rest of America, they don't have to earn their living airing their dirty laundry.
Who's with me????>?
And yes, we all do lose our tempers, but I doubt if most of us would treat our husbands like a fool because we were having a melt down. I know I wouldn't.
In case you didn't know, I am a single mother, have a 25 yr old disabled son, work full time, take care of my elderly grandmother, do all the house hold chores, and I manage to not treat those closest to me like crap. I can't imagine Kate's life is any more hectic than mine.
Judy is right, the only reason Kate wants to keep going is she then does not have to be full time mommy, she gets to travel and hire others to do what she should be doing at home shich it raising her kids. and my understaning is that even after they had lots of money rolling in they continued to take "offerings" from their church. Now how greedy is that....!
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM THAT THIS SHOW IS GOING OFF THE AIR BUT APPARENTLY SHE IS HOSTING SOME COOKING SHOW AND SHE SHOT THE PILOT WITH PAULA DEAN. I will not support anyone who supports Kate running around the US while others take care of her kids.
Jesse jane
I can not stand Kate. She has no class. She is always bashing Jon,which only a moron would do considering her kids will watch it and see she talks bad about there dad.Maddy & cara are starting to have no respect for there Dad and being very nasty because they watch what there mother does.The last show that played Jon did a lemonaid stand to help raise money for fire men and she said " I dont know what his intentions are? I dont know if he is doing a poblicity stunt.My kids should not be there they should be at home" ..Is she serious? Its not going to kill them to learn to help other people and volunteer for things with out trying to make a quick buck. what makes her think she can even protect those kids more then her husband and alot of fire men? meanwhile she is always taking them out by herself sometimes. SHE HAS NO RIGHT to think she should only take those kids out. He is also there father. My goodness I swear she is such a crappy person,what a $hitty wife she was. As far as I am concerned those kids do need there privacy now kids in school could make fun of them if they see them cry on TV or say nasty things about there family. I think she kept wanting to go on with the show for the millions of dollars NOT FOR THE KIDS. It is purely her greed. She is the one going on the view bashing him,she was the one who on every show and said something ugly about JON.She is the one leaving the kids "WORKING" so why does she even complain if JON is not there. He see's them. There marriage failed because of her.When her kids are older they will watch and understand so much more.Not saying she does not love her kids,but you can see through fake people and see easily there intentions.OH ONE MORE THING does anyone else notice how much she says PAPARAZZI? especially around the kids meanwhile she told them not to say that word. She loves the attention. she is a snob that needs to get her head out of her a$$. What is the world coming to? she is not a movie star,she has no talent,there are thousands of moms out there with lots of kids,my mom had 10. ehhh i hate her and dont want to talk anymore lol.
EGAMEMNAR
her children would not even know the word "PAPARAZZI" or what it meant had she, not rammed it down their throats constantly.
EGAMEMNAR
and I agree with whoever earlier posted that she insults our intelligents by getting on national TV for sympathy that she has no money to pay bills and a stack of bills in her purse. that is a lie, she does not pay her own bills, she pays someone else to do that and its a sad day when you do pay your own bills but don't take care of your own chidlren....
She is a money stasher, i think we all know that yet she would have us believe that jon left her penniless. We all aren't that stupid Kate
EGAMEMNAR
KatE, instead of saying " "This is a very bittersweet goodbye for me, because I think the kids are already missing it." Just say what it REALLY is, its bittersweet cuz YOU weren't done loading up on bags of money!!!! You always say its the kids. Kids rebound quickly but as long as they have YOU telling them how much it sucks not doing the show, they will be upset and mad and hurt and miss it. GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY GEEZZZZ
Judy
Boy, I'm glad I found this site. There are other sites where there are "Kate Lovers" on board, and it drives me nuts. It seems she (Kate) has them brainwashed that she is the greatest mom ever!!! Since season 2, I started to see the real Kate. Since then, she has grown worse as a person and mother.
Yeah.... it's all about the kids.... sure.... right..... If it were about the kids, each and every paycheck you received from TLC would have been divided 10 ways. A portion for each of the children and an equal portion for you Kate and you Jon. The amount you two would receive would have been plenty enough to keep a household running smoothly. The tups are the reason we watched this show. Not to see your free tummy tuck, your free spa trips, both of your free teeth whitening, nor Jon's free hair plugs. This show turned into "your" show and "if" the kids happened to be in the shows I mentioned we were lucky to get a glimpse of them. Face it.... It's all about "YOU and JON" and the big bucks and the free trips.
My husband and I have always worked full time jobs and have one son. We did the best to make his life fun and exciting. We never got to go to Disney World, Hawaii, Utah for skiing and the list goes on. We went to SeaWorld, the shore in New Jersey and camping. My son had a happy childhood without going to a dude ranch. (gasp!!)
Kate is depending on us to continue "her" career. Well Kate..... you won't have me. May you some day have to return to working a job and need to answer to your supervisor on a daily basis, insteal of "you" being the boss. At that time, let's see how many trips you take the kids on and we'll see how you really need to use coupons to keep your household going.
Grrrrrr..... she makes my blood boil.....
Kapaccino
KHate always TALKED about how hard she worked. But in actuality I never really saw it. Usually she was barking orders from that damn plastic lawn chair and occassionally you'd see her throwing some food (sure, hummus and grapes) on paper plates for the kids. And, oh wait, one Christmas she made a big deal over her stupid 'sticky buns' and hot chocolate she made for christmas morning. Hmmm, and yes, there was her big soup-making day. BIG F*ing WHOOP. How about her cleaning the fridge in her new house??? Oh, that was memorable.
Nah, this woman needs a good bitch slap and sent on her way. She's been crammed down our throats way too long
Bye-bye kHatie!! Don't let the door hit ya on your way out
teananny
I just started watching the episodes on youtube. I saw the older ones first, and wanted to watch more...then I noticed how kate was yelling at her husband, then I noticed it get worse until he started with rolling eyes and such. I noticed the kids seemed more and more uptight and strongly disapproved of things like the camera being so close while one of the children tried to go to sleep on the airplane. I thought this was very invasive for the child and what kind of mother would allow this to happen?
Then I noticed Aunt Jodi was no longer there for the kids, and how they had put a hole in the wall. Then I listened to how Aunt Jodi was kicked off the show because Kate didnt want her to get paid...sigh..what's next I wondered...then I saw the show of their new house and how she insulted the people who owned it previously, and yelled to Jon to get the kids because she was too busy cleaning a refrigerator...say what???? Is Jon just a glorfied babysitter???
I began feeling a great dislike for this supper controller who had no respect for anyone's personal space except her own. I watched how she just had to clean up the table while Jon and the kids were carving pumpkins....before they were done and while they were enjoying themselves. Any time Jon was doing well she had to interrupt it....
then I saw Jon going crazy with a new girlfriend while he was still married to Kate and how she is quite the partier and how she cried and gained sympathy insulting and criticizing Jon for whatever reason ...sigh ...what next I wondered as things went from bad to worse.
and while Kate is milking the for the kids ...she spends less time with them and the kids look more and more unhappy. And just about everywhere there are secrets about kate being let out over her abusive behavior toward everyone including her own parents and sister in law.
What effects are going to be on these kids who have been potty trained..some outside while being filmed before millions of people, embarrased during their 'time outs' by being filmed and on and on and on....But none of this seems to phaze the kate empire of her blessed miracles who wants to keep the show going in order to continue to get the freebies and write books, apparently while cooking and doing housework for 8 kids, who whine and cry and are way to young to have that kind of pressure on them.
they are beautiful children and very photogenic...but ...........enough........how can they recuperate from all this with a mother who orders and controls without any thought to their self respect???
Helen
Here here teananny!
Have just seen the episode in Australia where the kids all get crooked cubby houses. I can't believe Kate was whingeing because it took all day! Is it the right of every American kid to have their own custom built cubby on their own rural estate?
Kapaccino
Oh yes, don't forget, Khate has rights, ya know!!! She always says her kids "deserve" the good life (meaning SHE deserves it...)
The way things are looking she may have to lose her mansion and move into one of those crooked houses
Bye bye khate.....
Debch58
And why would her kids deserve the good life more than my kids who live paycheck to paycheck but seem to be happy and thriving? If that theroy is correct then ALL kids in America should live the good life, not just ones who are born with 5 brothers and sisters. I know of several people who have large families, non live the good life, but then none think they 'deserve' it. All are good hard working people who will give what little they have to others if they need it more. Greed does not play into thier life in any way.
She is just a money-hungry, greedy, user who wants, wants wants and will find any excuse to justify it.
GGGRRRR, I get angry everytime I think about here!
And her hair is the WORST! Maybe someday they will find the dead squirrell in it!

Kate wants to give the impression that while Jon is running around she is at home with the children. That is not the case; she is away more than she is at home. She is traveling all over with her bodyguard, Steve, on book signings. He even was at the Dude Ranch with her. I don't know why TLC allowed Kate to get Steve back after he quit before, if there was any doubt that there could have been something going on. And also, how Kate was allowed to treat Jon the way she did on national TV, and TLC didn't do a thing about it. Kate thinking her children deserve the very best is her opinion, not other peoples. After their lawyers are paid and the divorce is final, the lawyers will get a good share of the money. The money that Jon will get will be quickly spent. You know the old saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted". About him paying child support is redundant. He will not be working, and you can't get water out of a turnip. It's a good thing his girlfriend Hailley has a rich father. I hope Kate will not start resenting the children once she can't make money off of them anymore.
Angel
I really CANNOT stand Kate or Jon.. they exploit their children to the paparrazi and I really can't wait for them to not be the topic of news. I hope Kate has to go back to a normal job!
Helen
Oh Angel! As Kate would say "Lord have mercy!" Would you really like to see Kate go back to nursing? Pity the patients! lol
EGAMEMNAR
IT'S OFFICAL. THE TRAIN WRECK THAT WAS THEIR MARRIAGE IS OVER!!!!!(finally!) NOW IF THEY CAN ACT LIKE PARENTS RATHER THAN ASS H O L E S LIFE FOR THEIR KIDS MIGHT NOT BE SO BAD. AND YEAH, I'M WITH YA HELEN, PITY THE PATIENT WHO HAS KATE FOR A NURSE.
Kapaccino
Oh, Khate was so COOL on the Jay Leno interview......NOT
She's as much of a dork as Jay Leno is
ANYTHING with Khate Gosselin in it has NO hope of surviving. I don't care if it's a cooking show, a talk show, or whatever, it just ain't gonna work!!!
So put some shoes on those dirty sasquatch feet of yours mama G. and hit the road to nowheresville
Joan
I am so sick of the gosselins will miss the kids but not kate, hard to believe that they would even consider her for any t.v. show. I should not watch it under any thing. Jon has turned out to be a nut case also. I used to like him and felt sorry for him, not any more.
Kate
Another reason to seriusly dislike Kate Gosslein: She brings shame to the name Kate. I attempted to Google my name (Kate) and got a page full of reported sightings and fights between her and Jon.
mark
Don't even get me started on her lesbian hairdo! This woman is deprived of brains....but oh well she'll be lonely from here out because no reasonable level headed man would even consider a life of hell with that b*tch!
egamemnar
Kate has "new hair" and it looks like a halloween costume. you can totally see that it is fake hair put on really short hair. eeeewwww. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2010/01/kate-gosselin-new-hair-makeover.html
Judy
Personally, I don 't like it. It looks like a cheap wig. If she did pass out 7,000 for the new do, she really got ripped off.
Geesh..... Just go away Kate......
Debch58
I just read that it has been confirmed Kates 'hair' cost $7000, but it's not confirmed who paid for it. She is saying it's the Kate coming out. She looks to me like she had some kind of surgery done also, wonder if it was done by X husbands girlfrinds Dad? LOL! Oh what a tangled web we weave! What will she do next to get attention?
Kapaccino
Does this moron not get it??? She's trying to look younger and hotter......instead she just ends up looking ridiculously desperate.
Geez, what a mess. She looks like puffer fish with a wig
barbee
Love your article. One comment on one comment, just because she's a bitch doesn't mean she has OCD. I truly believe that was another of those things Katie self-diagnosed, cuz ya know she IS a nurse! We all KNOW that Kate did NOT pay for the used Barbie Doll hair extensions, Kate does NOT pay for anything (that's how it is with famous important celebrityish type people). Kate says that the problems in the marriage were not from the show, that she didn't change but Jon changed. Well, if you look at Jon from beginning to end of his part on the show, he looked the same (+ or - a few crappy hair plugs 'she' insisted he get, well, and a few, ok, a lot of pounds and some pimples) BUT kate has changed from the top of her crappy hair don'ts (reverse mullet or lousey long locks) to her Cole Haans. Tummy tuck (very nice gesture on part of ex's ex-GF's father, no amt of exercise can get rid of all that excess skin), but the rest was all just kate's wants. Maybe her mother could send her a copy of her birth certificate so she knows she's almost 35, ya don't dress like a 16 yr old with hoodies, baseball caps, mini-mini's, low cut boob coverers, movie star sunglasses, daily mani/pedi, hair, tanning over tanning over tanning (ya see where I'm going with that?), daily paps followed errands to whoever is the placement ad of the minute, but even worse, YOU DON'T WALK OUT YOUR DOOR IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE IN HELL THERE IS A CAMERA WITHIN 1000 MILES OF YOU WITHOUT MAKEUP AND WEARING AN OVERSIZED NEWSBOY CAP (like the candid beauty shot gotten by TMZ, it is enough to gag a maggot). hmmm, do you get the idea that maybe, just maybe, I'M NOT A FAN OF KATE (KATIE IRENE) GOSSELIN? Memo to Kate: Try to remember you have 8 NOT 6 KIDS, you always seem to forget, ignore, slight the twins. No wonder Mady seemed to come off like such a brat, she was trying to get noticed in any way she could. She's a VERY perceptive little girl, caught on waaaaaay before any of us adults did. Tried to warn us, but we weren't listening!
Jennette
As a mother of five boys and another on the way, I do kind of understand what it's like to be stressed, but I don't ever remember going to the spa for free whenever I needed a stress reliever. I've only been to the spa once, for last year's mother's day when all of my sons grouped their money together to treat me to a day at the spa. No, when I was stressed I sent my boys outside to play and read a book. When my husband was stressed he went into the basement and painted.
We never went to DisneyLand, and all of my sons are perfectly okay with that. For family fun, we went for a walk in the park or played basketball or football. My husband always has a junk, beat up car in the backyard that he and the boys would fix up in their spare time. They all love it, and my husband is also teaching them how to take care of and fix cares.
I would personally never pull any of my children out of school to go on a VACATION! I might pull them out a day early before a Christmas or Spring Break to travel somewhere, but never just flat out pull them out in the middle of the week or something.
I am so thankful that the show is not showing any new episodes. I enjoyed seeing the children and the first few episodes where they actually struggled, but now I have no interest in seeing them get things they don't really deserve for free.
There is a nice couple in Texas that had sextuplets NATURALLY! No joke, I used to live on their street but I moved before the babies were born. Nobody is giving them a TV show or free money. Where is it? They didn't ask for it, it just naturally happened.
Kapaccino
Jennette:
What a nice family you have - how sweet that your boys treated you to a day at the spa!!! I remember I was watching an episode of the Hayes family on Table for Twelve and it was Betty's birthday or something and she got a day at the spa. And she wasn't really into going, I think only because she'd never been before. But she ended up inviting her daughter. I love stories like hers, and yours. Just really touching stuff. The Gosselin's are so out of touch with reality, they're such a joke. Nouve riche and it shows. No class whatsoever. But worse than that is that there's no warmth from Kate to her children. It seems just about everything they do irritates her. How sad. No matter what that woman is never in a good mood unless money or stardom is involved... Anyway, keep having fun with those boys of yours and good luck with your soon-to-be little bundle!!
egamemnar
Barbee- Love that post. You hit the nail on the head.
Kate totally duped us in those first episodes.. She pretretended to be nice and normal and sweet but its hard to keep up a lie and she couldn't do it. she thought that the show was here to stay and that she would never go away! And now, they are giving her ANOTHER f@%^g show. ARe you joking. Who the hell wants to watch Kate Gosselin run around tryng to work. Its another version of paris hilton and nicole riche....its been done.
egamemnar
and that "new hair" Oh my gosh, I am embarressed for her to walk aroud in public with it. It looks horrible. If she did pay $7000 for it, she did not get what she paid for.......for that amount of money, shouldn't they have covered up her short hair? The hair itself Im sure is quality, and the stylist is too but the subject and what the stylist had to work with made it look less than it should. Maybe Kate should have let her hair grow out first.
Kapaccino
Yes, 'trying to work' is so accurate. Who can forget her sitting in that plastic white lawn chair barking orders to Jon? But hey, let's give poor Khate some credit: She DID make her infamous 'sticky buns' every Christmas morn!! And her soup, let's not forget her toiling away in the kitchen, kicking everyone outside so she could act like she was actually physically doing something.
I think the reality of it is that Khate is just plain lazy. She's one of those individuals who always 'talks' about how busy they are. A truly hard-working person doesn't talk about how busy they are, they just do it.
Khate Gosselin thinks she has the 'it' factor; she'll never understand that she just doesn't. I put her in the same category as Richard Heene and Dustin Diamond. Hell, even Heidi Montag has more of the 'it' than Khate. And that's not saying much
SueAnna
I agree that Kate is absolutely riduculous. Yes, you are on TV Kate...because you wanted to be. You originally were loved for being a mom...not a celebrity. With all the fakey fake plastic surgery and attitude, you are just that....a celebrity. There are already thousands of those, and you lost your niche. And...Dustin Diamond is at least funny...not mean and degrading. Oh well, maybe she should attempt to pump out 6 more and compete with the Duggar family.
egamemnar
"A truly hard-working person doesn’t talk about how busy they are" cuz they are actually too busy! HA
So, I hear she is getting her own show. something about following her while she works or something to that affect. I can't imagaine..we didn't want to watch her be fake and mean to her own family, do we really wanna see her do with strangers. Besides, Paris and Nicole already did that. They pulled it off cuz they are spoiled brats and they know it. kate, why don't you use the money you made to stay home and actually bond and mother your children. I know if I was in that postion, I'd go get a cheaper house, use some of the money to allow myself to stay home and be a full time mom to my kids, especially if I had 8 of em... there is only 24 hours in a day. Come on Kate, use your head!
Kapaccino
I bet Khate is pissed that the earthquake in Haiti upstaged her.......god, she seems more irrelevant than ever!!!
A give back mom
If kate wants to be out of the spotlight soooo bad, then why is she always going on interviews, and making her own show??? SHE IS A TOTAL HYPOCRITE! We need to stop watching her! if we do that then she will get booted off TV, then she will have to get a real job like the rest of us! Also she won't get paid for every little thing she does! Wow I did'nt know that she was Wonder Women, gosh she the best mom, a actress, and a author! We have witnessed a HERO (give me a break)!
Angie
I don't like her at all!!! The one thing that I don't understand is, ok Jon made some bad decisions when he left but, why is it that no one mentions that if she wasn't such a bitch to him all the time she wouldn't be without a husband. Everyone that watched that program knew that if he ever developed a backbone he would run as fast as he could. I think he got a little freedom, was able to make his own choices and went a little nuts. But having said that, she hasn't spent any more time with those kids than she did when Jon was home playing with them and she was sitting on a chair complaining. Everyone seems to forget that if she wasn't such a bitch those kids would still have a father at home.
Angie
Before I forget, I don't know why anyone would put her on a show as a guest or guest host but maybe if no one watched those episodes she would go away!!!!!!!!
Angie G
Ok, really? Dancing with the stars, are you kidding me? If anyone needs to be black balled from these shows it is Kate. And please stop putting her on the cover of People. There are real issues going on in the world People editors, please no more Kate Gosselin. Well this is one season I won't watch of Dancing with the Stars. I would bet that she'll make an even bigger ass out of herself!
I truly liked Jon and Kate Plus 8 in the beginning. When I had just had my twin infants the show actually helped me deal, it made me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Then Kate turned fake, tanning booth, extra fit, too much make-up, designer clothes, wearing platforms while taking the kids to the doctors, come-on really? I'm sure the live-in Nannies were just hiding behind the camera's. I'm done, TLC created a monster and now all other forms of entertainment are feeding the monster.
Melanie H
I agree with all of you!! I destest Kate so much! She is SO conceited and does not realize how unintelligent she is. She was a HORRIBLE co host on the View! I can't understand why they had her on! She would rather have her fake face plastered everywhere than STAY HOME with her kids! Those poor kids!! My aunt went to one of her book signings and said she was rude to all the women who waited in line to see her. Rather than smiling and speaking with them , she kept texting as she signed the books!! Incredibly rude!
Kapaccino
Dancing With The STARS??!! Really, more like Dancing With The DORKS
Oh, and by the way, Khate said she's gonna win.
Can't wait....
Khatehater
Dancing with the Stars? Should be Dancing with the Trash! Kate is nothing more than trailer park trash who had enough wits to figure out how to exploit her children! Those poor children, how will they ever be normal with a evil mother like her! She is so deluded and we should all stop feeding this! Boycott DWTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joan Adams
It is very difficult for me to understand why all the above comments are pretty much negative about Kate Gosselin. Perhaps you have never had to take care of and be responsible for 8 children. Emotionally, physical safety, time to share with them and then there is the dentist etc. I believe Kate also has taken care of college funds for the children. Did you think Jon and his girlfriends were going to plan for the future of the children. Think again. What is wrong with people like you. Do you not know ONLY God judges us and HIS FORGIVENESS IS ENDLESS. Do you recall Jesus Christ?
I admire and respect Kate Gosselin. She did what she had to do to take care of the children and the only way of life the knew. It is enough uphevial to hear issues about Jon and his antics (like another child in the family) let alone not having any means to survive. Kate deserves a good and full life and as their Mother, the children will always know they can count on her.
Kate Gosselin is a talented woman. She capable of writing, getting published and there is a desire for people to be at signings for her books.
Jon remains a disgrace as a father and husband. God with judge him too.
Joan Adams
IGNORANCE, JEALOUSY AND A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR CHILDREN EVERYWHERE. DOESN'T EVERY MOTHER WANT THE BEST FOR HER CHILDREN? Dah.
What did Jon ever do on his own. If Kate had not insisted he help (and maybe you did not agree with her way of doing it) but 8 kids are enough, she did not need another one named Jon. Jon contributed so little for so long and now is contributing nothing but scandal for those kids and for Kate too. You may call her a neat freak but it is better than the women who live in filth and have their children taken from them.
Bottom line, IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WHAT KATE DOES TO PRESERVE HER FAMILY. You think she is not intelligent? None of you could write two lines let alone a book. Check your spelling and grammer, you grow up and realize these are human beings. Did Kate sleep with every Tom, Dick and Harry and then ignored the fact that she had 8 children to answer to in the morning. No, but Jon DID. He is like a disgusting little pig. However, he too is entitled to his mistakes as WE ALL ARE ENTITLED. What can he do to earn money to support his family if not live off his children.
Kate deserves any pampering she receives. Try waking up everyday to the huge responsibility of 8 children. Your remarks about Maddie needing attention were way out there. Kate DOES AND DID GIVE MADDIE ATTENTION. Maybe you missed those programs.
How do you sleep at night? What, you believe the Bible is for everyone but you and your horrible comments? How sad you make people of this world feel because of your JEALOUS NATURE.
GET A LIFE.
Angie
Hey Joan that comment about, "the bible being for everyone but you and your horrible comments, how do you sleep at night," applies to you also.
Janessa
I was reading in a magazine that she felt that she was more value to DTWS then Pam Anderson. Say what you will about Pam. One thing is for sure she is iconic. No one cares Kate your hold zero value on the celebrity scale.... Go back to nursing and take your stupid fake hair out. You may try to become a "sexier" person on the outside.. Your still nasty and neglectful mom on the inside..
Amanda-Beth
Honstely never fond of Kate but at first I didn't mind watching because it focused on kids and it was cool seeing dad with his kids but as time she was barking more and more at Jon and they showed less of everyone else and more of Kate but what really got to me was when she was caught in act of hitting Leah for blowing a whistle outside that's ridclous also I've rewatched shows and noticed she tends to favor Madi, Hannah, and Collin. wich is not right in anyway Aaden and Joel are just there she dosent like or not like them. She dislikes Cara, Alexis, and Leah I dont know why she just dosent and for so long didn't hang out with kids and with divorce on way and after it she pretended to hang out with kids to look good. Its ridclous and now everyones blaming Jon wich is so wrong yes he made a bad discion but I dont blame him for leaving he loves his kids but if I were Jon I'd have left along time before and smacked her its not right to treat a human like a dog.
Camilla
I totally agree. She says she only wants the best for her kids..... So now she shipped them off and is practicing dancing 3 days a week. She only wants two things...... money and spotlight. They act like they can take their kids on special trips without help. Please, everyone can see right through you! She's like "Oh it's just so tough to do what's best for the kids" and I'm like "Yeah right!" There are people with 20 kids without any help. All she has is 8. She gets paid for ordering Jon around and sitting on her lazy butt having other people pay for what she doesn't work for. Her tummy tuck episode was disgusting! No one cares, quite frankly! Now they are sitting in a mansion counting money they don't deserve, but you know good for them. I'm quite happy with the way I live. I have a roof over my head, food, clothes, nice things. But I know one thing's for sure. I'm going to actually get off my lazy butt unlike her and do something with my life. While she's drowning in money I'll know I'll always have people who care about me (also unlike her) and all the things I work for (another thing unlike her). I also heard her kids are depressed. What a good mother she is! *groans*
Camilla
Oh, and Joan YOU GET A LIFE! Just stop it, ok. It's really idiotic, and you know you aren't going to change anyone's mind. Sure eight kids, some people (as I said before) have 20 kids and raise them with no help at all! I.... AM.......NOT..........AND..........WILL...........NEVER..........BE...........JEALOUS..............OF...............KATE................GOSSELIN! Look I don't mean to start a fight or anything but she's nowhere near hard working. I bet you are but she sits around and orders Jon around. Stop it Joan!
Luke
I hate her, plain and simple. And now that she is on Dancing with the Stars she's proving what a horrible mother she is.
Sheila Douglas
I agree with the options expressed here! I want this woman to just go away; go raise her kids. I never watched her show, but I am a big fan of Dancing With The Stars; her performance Monday was just terrible; worse than 80 year old Buzz Aldrin, but I am afraid her supporters will be voting her through and she'll ruin this season of my favorite show.
Danicaa
Okayy;; dahling.
Sorry to burst your bubble & all but Kate kinda has to be that way.
Yeah, I have 8 kids [6 of which are adopted:)]
I GUARENTEE that you don't have 8 kids.
& I <3 my kiids. <3
But yenno,
you gotta be tough.
Not liike Jon ;; that crazy big @$$ed 50-timer.
YOU HAVE TO FRIGGIN CARE ABOUT YOUR KIDS.
lin
Kate Gosselin is truly a control freak and a bitch. It is amusing that she thinks she is a star because she produced six kids at one shot-dogs and cats do the same thing, and without the help of invitro fertilization. Her husband Jon made the smart move by leaving her, but I do feel sorry for the children. She should consider getting a real job, supporting her children she brought into this world, and stop acting like a big shot because she got plastic surgery, blond highlights and hair extensions, and a tummy tuck. Personally, I think she is a loser and a poor excuse of a mother. God help those children-I wish she would go away!
Kelly
how in the world did Kate make it through DWTS?She can't dance,her own partner quit on her.That goes to show what type of person she really is.Stay home with all your kids and stop trying to be famous!!!
Jennifer
I agree with Joan...she got the show and is reeking the rewards of it. All of you other woman are purely jealous or at least come off as very jealous people by completely bashing another mother for barking orders to her cheating husband......and telling her to quit doing what she's doing and go get a real job? HAHA! She's made more than most of you ever could imagine which is why you all come off so JEALOUS! Stop whining all of you bitter moms! You'll never amount to anything near her! She's controlling....WHO CARES! You don't live with her! GET OVER IT YOU JEALOUS FREAKS!
EGAMEMNAR
HEY JOAN ADAMS, "Perhaps you have never had to take care of and be responsible for 8 children. " kate isn't home taking care of her kids. Are you kidding me!
Why did Kate get a Court Order Joan banning John from making a living too? Huh, I mean a responsible mom would want to be sure both parents could provide, right, however Kate sabbotaged John. Yeah, I can see how you would find her to be upstanding (not!)
"Kate deserves a good and full life If she wanted to live for her, she probably shouldn't have had 1 kid let alone 8 for God Sake's.
GOOD MOM'S STAY HOME WITH THEIR KIDS, LIVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR KIDS...SELFISH, SELF ABSORBED, SELF CENTERED MOMS HAVE TONS OF KIDS AND THEN LEAVE THEM WITH NANNIES AND BODY GUARDS.... THAT IS A FACT! wHEN YOUR KIDS CALL YOU BY SOMEONE ELSES NAME, THAT SAYS THAT MAYBE YOU AREN'T HOME ENOUGH.
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JEALOUSY, IT HAS TO DO WITH WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG, AND KATE IS WRONG!!!!!!
"Jon contributed so little for so long and now is contributing nothing but scandal for those kids and for Kate too. " This is a joke, right. Kate make it impossible for Jon to earn a living doing what SHE does and then complains. Sounds like a kate Gosselin move to me.
HONESTLY, I can't even read your bs anymore. You are likely related to this horrible mother, wanna be star. Birds of a feather....
EGAMEMNAR
Oh, my question to you Joan, What else can Kate to besides make an ass of herself on TV in order to make a living and support her family. Whats good for the goose!
EGAMEMNAR
its funny Joan, you preach God to us in your defense and then refer to people as "dirty little pigs" Doesn't sound very holy to me. Hypocrite maybe?
joyce williams
I agree with all comments except Joans. Joan, you must be as mean as Kate. You sound like it. She bashed Jon so much I could no longer watch the show because I hate bullies. Jon was a supporting father in every way. I'm glad he left her. He does love his children, anyone could see that. Kate is all about herself. She won't even let Jon have extra time with the kids while she isn't with them. Why woul they be better off with a nanny?
Kate is the most controlling person I've seen in a long time and she's mean. Pamela Anderson Is kind spirited and Kate cannot dance any better than Pamela. I blame the media for attempting to make her a star.
jw
Crystal
I hate Kate with a passion. She's a bitch for using her kids to make money and she's a fake for pretending to be hurt and surprised that Jon left her. I mean who can forget how she treated her husband. She would constantly ridicule and belittle him even infront of her kids. This women is now on DWTS and every time I see her in wanna puke. She can't dance and she has no talent. I'm so sick of her, I just want her to go away finally. Anyone who is a fan is a sucker for her crap cause that's what she does, she sells crap. Oh and social services should take away her kids.
cindee
First of all this is a type of gossip column so lets leave God out of this. Whoever mentioned God in this is just as bad as anyone else reading and posting on here. So get off your high horse. Some people are simply pointing out what they see the errors in judgement Kate is making. They could do it in a kinder way but everyone is different. Kate does need to work to provide for all those children she irresponsibly produced. So I support her that she is out there trying to make money she has to. She does whine that she has a full plate and that its a very big challenge to raise 8 kids but she knew that before she had them,, so its annoying to hear her whine about it now. Kate will never be able to learn to dance because she thinks she knows everything and she has alot of issues. She needs to deal with all those screwed up issues first. She doesn't need an acting coach she needs a shrink. After she deals with all that she may be able to be successful at learning to dance. Instead of looking like a bull in a china shop , stomping around and very clumsy looking. I do believe she loves her children but there are simply too many of them and she gets overwhelmed and continually gripes at them just like she admittedly said she was very hard on Jon. She treated him just like another kid not an equal partner. Maybe she will learn more about herself and get some counseling for her obsessive, overbearing, selfish,self-entitled ,narcissistic beahvior. Another thing if we are sick of seeing her on tv lets not watch and she will go away....obviously someone is watching her that is why she is still on the tube.
lily
Someone mentioned that Kate wrote her own books well that is not entirely correct. She had a ghostwriter which is a person who essentially writes the book for you. You just relay the info. It is also the publics business how Kate takes care of her kids, she is the one that talks about it in public. Going on every show talking about her divorce and her family life. So we are allowed to talk about her family SHE MADE IT PUBLIC. As for Jon he had a job when their reality show started. TLC asked him to leave his job and stay home and film of course he was compensated for it but the man did work. Kate doesn't deserve special treatment because she has 8 children. It was her choice to have all those children so now she has to take care of them and not whine about it. . I don't see the problem with her working theres lots of single working moms. Iam one of them and yes it gets challenging but oh well I knew it would be hard of course I didn't plan to get divorced either . TLC announced Kate will have her own show late summer. So unfortunately shes gonna be around a while unless the show bombs. We can control that by not watching. The concept sounds weird shes suppose to visit w/ different families facing challenges and she puts her input on how life can be easier for them. Ridiculous she cant even take care of her own life without whining about it. It seems she will be away from home alot more than the avg mother working a 9-5 so Jon may get more time w/ the kids. Anyway I dont hate Kate but shes annoying and she simply can't dance. But it is fun to watch and have a good laugh. Jimmy Fallon's parody of her was absolutely hilarious
Mahi
Kate is a drama queen and she loves every bit of it. She thinks she rises with the sun and sets with the moon. Kate is bossy and she even looks it. One good thing going for the kids I must add is that they all look like their dad.
She says she knows she does not know everything. She should have realize it when she was married to Jon. I'm glad she is not my neighbor.
Mahi
I'm glad Kate was on DWTS. I needed something to make me laugh with her two left legs and her making an a - - of herself.
Anyone noticed how she tried to tell her professional dancing instructor/ partner what to do? When he walked out on her he should not have come back.
Kate Who???
Jon should have slapped the hell out of her while he could have, on national tv!
SingleMom2
I totally agree, I could've sided with her since I myself am a single mom. But, she is so ungrateful and always crying waa waa when she has everything handed to her. I read that she gets $22,000/month in child support. That can more than pay for a private school education in Hawaii (one of the highest costs of living), for each of her kids! She'll be getting a new show on TLC visiting other families and giving her insights for raising kids. Who the heck are they kidding, who's going to take advice from somebody that has a maid do everything.
jacque
If I had a husband who was there to do hands on with kids, and manly things, I would never have belittled him. She acts like she's entitled, and wants to be a star..not for $ but for attention. let's review. college fund from Govenor set in place, and now Jon's child support of what is it? 20K a month? I'd love to stay home and be with my kids all day and know bills were paid for.. and be grateful, and give back to community, but she's just jet setting, book siging, and dancing with the satrs? PLEASE? She's a stiff ice bitch with no talent yelling at her coach... why not just enjoy her children? HueY Lewis retired after winning Grammy for best album to enjoy life.. he left the spot light cause he knew... I'm financially set... so Kate has 8 kids... shouldn't she be a mom and a family intstead of a cold talentless bitch trying to be a start with her boob job and tummy tuck?

I think the fact that Kate Gosselin is making a ton of money off of her kids is really the key as to what is wrong with America -- she would not be on TV if were not for the people who tune in to watch her, buy her books and express interest in her on a continuing basis. This woman is a dispicable human being -- she is all about the greenback and treats people like shit!

Nice blog at https://www.mommymusings.com. I just read that Pennsylvania State labor officials investigated the production reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8 for possible violations of child labor laws. Relatives of Kate Gosselin are expected to testify at a Pennsylvania legislative hearing on child labor laws. Unbelievable!!!
Allison
This is to Joan Adams so I pray you read this. She deserves nothing! I mean nothing Kate is basically a glorified welfare recipient. There are no differences between her visa card and an EBT food stamp card. Pampering? Seariously Pampering? She deserves pampering? Let me fill you in. I work a full time job (teacher in an urban school district), go to graduate school two nights a week, oh and lets think. I cook dinner every night clean my house and my husband and I are starting a garden. Do I get pampering no. I am lucky if I can go to the bathroom alone. Oh boo hoo Kate has 8 kids boo hoo. Did she think about the fact she already had a set of twins and be thankful to the lord for what you were blessed with. NO she was greedy and went along with the 6 more so she could be on television. In all reality she is no differnt than octo-mom. I hate her and think she is a waste of human life. I would love to see what she would have to do in a real life situation with 8 kids and see what its like to work full time to support a family. This whole la di dah dancing on DWTS is not hard work she is learning a routine like a monkey so she can preform. I say we all boycott everything she appears on so that maybe she will have to get a real job and see what its like paying a mortgage and truely caring for 8 children.

Alison, you hit the nail on the head sista! Kate often lurks these sites reading what folks say about her (read older post by Captain Jack). Hope she reads it too!
I think we all feel that exact same way.
Life is hard for EVERYONE Kate, get over yourself already!!!!!
egamemnar
I am seriously confused why she keeps saying "because I have 8 kids" everything is because she has 8 kids. Um, back in the day, EVERYONE had 8 kids, they all worked as a family, not just the parents.
Ask anyone, but especial single parents, LIFE IS HARD" and add 8 kids in the mix, I'm sure it just got more complicated but for GOD'S sake, is that any reason to talk to people like you are superior to them. That is how Kate talks to EVERYONE even the Judge's on Dancing. her own dance instructor cannot stand her and walked out I suspect he felt disrepectedou.
Kate:
At what point will you learn the lessons in this life that clearly the Good Lord is trying to beat into your head and those are HUMILITY AND APPRECIATION. Stop blaming your bad parenting on outside influences. The fact that you have 8 kids has nothing to do with it. Its how YOU mange those 8 kids and yourself that people are looking at. You treat others like shit, like you are entitled and you are somehow superior and have it harder then anyone else due to circumstances.
You have no idea Kate how hare life can be. All of your children can walk, talk, have all of their fingers, toes, their eyesight, there brains work fine, they aren't mentally or physically incapacitated or challenged.
You don't have to be splattered all over the media, YOU CHOOSE TO BE and then complain about being in the media. Are you kidding me?
You really need to go home and figure out what really is important in life because from what you show me, you got it all wrong.

This is funny! You who address Kate as if she is actually going to read this dumb stuff. She is so far beyond that. She does not care what the mean scum say!! Look at her now. Do you have nothing better to do? She is on top, Jon is way down low....lol
They will throw his ridiculous request to be the kids main guardian out so fast .....lol shit what a moron that guy is....i think he has something wrong with him
get a life bitches!!!

Fran and Chrity,
Grow up...
Allison
Fran and Cristy
I take it you are stay at home moms without jobs and possibly college educations. Cristy this goes to you sweetheart, your blaintant lack of first grade grammar and puncuation leads me to believe you more than likely did not finish eighth grade.
It is sad truely. But I refuse to think positively of someone who flaunts her children around like puppets for money. I was approached about having my child do modeling becaue he is a handsome baby. I declined figuring that it would take away from my son's childhood. Maybe the two of you find it acceptable to use children as pawns and if so that is perfectly fine. It is America and you are entitled to your opinion even if it is the wrong one.
As for the people that keep her on DWTS they have problems. I picture them to be welfare recipients who has the state pay for cable access and lack basic reading skills. Pardon my cynicism, but as a teacher I see the devistating effects of things parents do to their children every day. Frankly these poor children will more than likely end up like most child stars.
I blame Jon for going along with it in the first place. No one can tell me that he was like "oh hunny lets have 6 more children". He cheated on her to get away from her. Imagine sleeping next to that for the rest of your life ugh. Oh pious Kate who is sleeping with her married body guard please. As for my life Cristy and Fran see the above paragraph and add in my 17 month old son.
I have a life and if you truely had kids you would know that sometimes its nice to sit and vent about stupid people. I mean really look at the two of you, you say we have no life because we gossip about Kate. The two of YOU have no life because you deliberately googled "I hate kate gosselin" and came to this blog to tell us we are losers. HAHA Who is truely the loser in this situation? Egamemnar, myself and everyone else have a common interest but you do not. You are like the fat girls that did not get picked for dodge ball.
Alexis
WY DOSE EVREYONE ONLY TALK ABOUT HOW THEY HATE KATE OR JON THE SHOW IS NOT CALLED JON AND KATE ITS WELL was called jon and kate PLUS 8 the show is mainly about the kids!
Debch58
Oh no, that show was NEVER about the kids, that show was about Kate, and what Kate could get, and how fast Kate could get it. John stupidly went along with it, got caught up in the money part of it, then they decided they could afford million dollar homes, and poof, it's all gone. Now America, feel sorry for poor little me. Please help me out while I continue to live in big house which I have to have becasue I have 8 children. 8 I tell you!!! Now why didn't they just make sure they had a home big enough, and put some money aside to ensure they could pay any bills that came their way and maybe, just maybe, put some of that money in accounts for the kids, since the show was all about them. Funny how that works, the show is about the kids and and mom and dad spend what they make off of it.
Kate is the biggest waste of skin God ever put on this earth.
Allison
Alexis it is because it is a I Hate Kate Gosselin blog sweety.
tiredofphonies
Kate Gosselin is a waste of space. She is condescending, a craptastic mother and an opportunist. Her first and most important priority should be those kids, not trying to promote herself. She spends more time on the cover of magazines than she does with her own children. Especially now, during her divorce with Jon, I would have thought she would want to promote a healthy and constant presence of the "mother figure" to her children; nope, those poor kids have to settle for mommy on the boob-tube. I'm tired of seeing her face and really am ready for the media to file her in their "15 Minutes Up" folder.
tiredofphonies
I'm just really tired of seeing her face. And furthermore, I would say, there are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better people to be "jealous" of and Kate Gosselin would definitely be below the bottom of the barrel on that list.
KATE, GO HOME, YOUR CHILDREN NEED YOU!
owen
i cant believe that "society" loves this woman. Is it cause shes in the spotlight? and why is she in the spotlight? shes obviously a $#&*# and treats jon like crap... it doesnt take a genius to see why he left. shes a terrible mother and a sorry excuse for a person...
busymommy
Kate Gosselin is a joke. She is annoying, fake, selfish, attention hungry, and a not so good mother. I think she had this all planned out from day one. Trying to get pregnant and having multiples, in a sceme to get rich and famous, and unfortunately for the kids, but fortunately for her it worked. But I am firm believer in karma, and it will all come back to bite her in her ugly ass. All she cares about is HER fame and fortune and her kids have to suffer in the process. I saw a pic of her on Easter, standing there in this pose, (like she was a model, but so not) in high high heels, and her fake ass hair. I wanted to throw up!!!!! She really needs to have all t.v rights stripped from her. Please America STOP giving her the attention and satisfaction! i don't blame jon for cheating, he probably hadn't gotten any since the babies were born, she got what she wanted from him, and he was tired of being her little bitch! I HATE KATE GOSSLIN!
Debch58
What she said!!
sunny
I watched her on Dancing With The Stars on You Tube- anyone else notice how she hits Tony in the nether regions at the end of the Foxtrot??So called Foxtrot...I think I missed most of it I was laughing so hard... then at the end the judges comments spared no national television expense, the wawawawa Charlie Brown analogy was PRICELESS!!! LOL
lissa
I cannot agree more with your reasons to hate Kate Goesslin. I would like to add another. This is a woman who claims to love her children and put them before anything else. However, her actions seem to suggest her fame comes before everything else including her children. Every time I turn on the television she is in some television studio giving interviews, shooting a television show, or posing for publicity shots. Now that she has finally been voted off DWTS, she is about to begin shooting her new tv show where she travels across the country giving other people advice on parenting. That might make sense if she were actually parenting. Instead her children are being raised by nannies. I would never fault a person for working to make money for their family, but Kate has a ton of money, why is she taking jobs that take her away from her kids? She was paid $75,000 per episode for Jon & Kate Plus 8, she is paid tens of thousands of dollars for her appearances, interviews etc... she was paid 2 million for her book deal, who knows how much for DWTS, and just about everything is given to her. Why then, does she keep taking jobs that take her away from her kids? Not to mention the time it must take for her fake hair, fake tan, fake nails, and stylists, publcists, agents and manager appointments. Most people don't make this amount of money in a lifetime and many have just as many kids to raise. No, I don't feel sorry for Kate. I feel sorry for her kids who are being raised by their parents in between their public engagements and quests for fame.
Debch58
The point is, she doesn't have money becasue she is busy spending it on a lavish lifestyle for HERSELF. She has to pay the nannys, the hairstylist, the excerise coaches, the bodyguards-- sniker -- the personal assistants, and on and on. It cost money to to make money, and it cost even more to look fablous, she would say as she puts the back of her hand to her forehead.
Her telling someone how to raise kids is about like hiring a child molester to teach you how to hold a pre-school class.
Her day will come, as they say, what goes around comes around. Just wish she wasn't going around in my face all the time.
Crossing my fingers Jon is granted custody of the kids.
Heather
I agree with all of your reasons. I never really post on blogs, but I will post on this one! Kate gossilin is a opportunist and is pretty much money/fame hungry. How the hell does this chick have so much time to do TV spots, interviews and other things while she has 8 kids.Hell, it's hard enough taking care of 3 children, let alone 8! I haven't really heard her say anything about her kids recently [last 2 months or so?]. This is what American has ,learned to accept?????? It's good to see that we all aren't blind. I didn't understand the divorce at first, but now I see it was all part of kate publicity stunt. Nice going Kate....in the meantime you've set your kids+ex husband up for your personal fame. It's gets lonely at the top....then you fall on your face....jsut wait for it.......wait for it.........
Mahala
I have 2 little boys under 3 and I barely have time to go out to go groccery shopping , let alone any kind of trips But honestly, I want to raise my kids not nannies, and such. Isn't she worried about hiring the wrong nanny/caregiver? With all of the people in and out of her kids lives isnt she worried about having a child molester around them at all? But oh wait, she's never there! I don't blame Jon for leaving her, although he could have picked a much better rebound! Kate is just so fake, that is the best word for her FAKE. In the dictionary it should say : **"Kate Gosseilin: A fake, heartless B****, a shrew of sorts who preys on her own children and other close relationships for her own twisted greed driven needs."*** It's time to grow up Kate, take care of YOUR kids before Jon gets them, which I REALLY hope he does. I hope your 15 minutes of SHAME are up so the media can focus on more important and REAL issues other than your ridiculous hairstyles and supposed money troubles. P.S. Did everyone notice the obvious fakeness of the 'last episode', her always talking about her kids being the most important priority, and how she will be 'strong anda great mother'? Publicty, until she got what she wanted: gigs on the media. Those kids will resent her, all of THEIR personal moments on tv and them left with nothing because their mother (and somewhat Jon too) spent it all. Pathetic. P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C
CC
Since when does having 8 kids qualify someone as being a celebrity? A scientific/medical oddity yes, but a B list celeb? She belongs in a medical journal and not in people magazine.
She is a bitch, a horrible mother, and was an awful nagging castrating shrew of a miserable wife. Who can blame Jon/John(whatever) for fooling around. He accidentally found his balls one day(after Kate had removed them) put them on and found someone that appreciated them...The poor little boys will probably grow up into emasculated crossdressers because of the way they are treated.
Its no wonder this country is crashing...our entertainment is a good indication of the condition we are in...
Mrs. C
I agree with CC. Kate is a drama queen. She is self-center and has this delusion that since she gave birth to multiples, she is owed something. The above staged pictures of the kids are scary. So picture perfect but so disfuctional.
Gloria
Kate Gosselin is a hungry tiger , as Paris Hilton would say >;D
becca
I agree with you all. Kate Gosselin's appearance has changed drastically since her young mother days. She goes out of her way to flaunt a skimpy bikini - overflowing boobs, hanging butt and all. She is high maintenance now - tanning beds, spa treatments, manicures, new clothes and shoes, etc. And she walks around talking to the bodyguard dressed this way?! In front of her small, impressionable children? Nope, I don't see any motherly concern. I see a self-involved person who does not see what we see. Scary. Sad. Shame.
jayne
KATE GOSSELIN IS TRASH PUTTING IT NICELY. SHE HAS NO CONCERN FOR HER CHILDREN AND IS GOING ON THE SYMPATHY OF THE IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HER THROUGH HER CROCODILE TEARS. BOYCOTT TLC AND THE GOSSELIN SHOW AND PUT THE KIDS IN A BETTER HOME ENVIRONMENT LIKE THEIR GRANDPARENTS OR AUNTS HOME RATHER THAN TO BE SHOWN LIKE ANIMALS IN A ZOO
cybervang
Man I take Kate over my wife any day or life times. At least she does a few things to make things work. My wife does nothing but play around and dump her kids at home. Believe me I really do not consider Kate bad at all if you compare these two. I would really really love to have a chance at KATE and I know she would come through. She isn't perfect but she tries. My wife isn't perfect and she doesn't try or even care about her own 9 month old sick kid at home.
So please before you and the world think KATE is bad, have a look around and realize there are much worse out there. A whole lot worse and believe me I've considered taking my own life to end this misery. It's that bad.
BECKY
HATE IS A VERY STRONG WORD... THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE MUCH WORSE THEN MANY PEOPLE THINK KATE IS.. UNLESS YOU KNOW SOMEONE PERSONALLY (AND SOMETIMES NOT EVEN THEN) DO YOU TRUELY KNOW WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE AND WE WILL ALL BE JUDGED ONE DAY. THE PEOPLE ON HERE RANTING AND RAVING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY HATE THIS WOMAN, I FEEL SOOOO SORRY FOR YOU AND YOUR LIVES. ARE YOU SO MISERABLE THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A WEBSITE TO BASH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING REGARDLESS OF WHO IT IS. THIS IS SAD. THIS IS THE TYPE OF THING THAT MAKES THIS WORLD THE WAY IT IS. WE HAVE TO BRING UP OUR CHILDREN IN THIS AWFULL PLACE. AND THIS KIND OF THING ONLY MAKES IT WORSE. I SAY WITH LOVE TO FIND SOME KINDNESS IN YOUR HEARTS PUT THIS ENERGY INTO HELPING SOMEONE OR PRAISING THE LORD. WE SHOULD LOVE EACH OTHER NOT HATE.
Jess
Becky, please hit the Caps Lock key.
My biggest issue with Jon and Kate is that the whole reason they do the show is for money, and we all know it. I think in one episode Kate said they did it to ease people's curiosity, or some BS like that. But it only took a few months for her to quit her job.
They could have done perfectly fine money-wise on their own. Jon had a good job, and Kate was a part-time nurse. They wouldn't have been able to afford a million dollar house, but they would have been able to give their kids all the necessities.
Kate doesn't even raise the kids anymore, their nannies do. I just can't wait until she has to pay for all their psychiatrist appointments because of the damage the show has done to them.
And oh my goodness, 8 kids?! Big families were a common thing just a few decades ago. I don't understand everyone's fascination with them.
Christen
I used to watch Jon and Kate plus 8. I loved the children and thought Jon was a wonderful Father. I never liked Kate from the start. I remember thinking she was so crazy and controlling that her children would grow up to despise her. I recall one episode where she found a piece of a small toy upstairs in the childrens bedrooms and went on a rampage ( the children were not allowed to have toys anywhere except the basement). She stood there screaming at those children and they looked so terrified. She didnt stop til they were in tears. All because a 3 year old took a toy in their room. I stopped watching the show when Jon left. I wish everyone would stop watching the show so the ratings will drop and it would be canceled. I `ve stopped watching TLC all together. I `m sick of the way they treat Kate as if she were a goddess. I cant believe all the attention she gets from tv, media, magazines, while Jon and the children are forgotten. i hope this new talkshow Kates getting will flop. It will be a happy day in the world when we see the last of Kate Gosslin. I just feel very bad for the children.

GOD I HATE HER!!!!
john tron
Why in the hell is TLC letting this show contiue? TLC are you that desperate, this show is pointless and does not have anything that is funny at all. Kate, get a job and stop leaching off of buinesses for free handout because everybody knows you are a greedy and worthless waste of space. Your yelling and screaming makes you look and act like a IDIOT!!!! THE WORLD IS SICK OF YOU!!!!
cindy
I agree with people to get this show band. Kate has nothing to contribute to any show at all and she is so dam rude to people and is allway's yelling.. that is not a real show! COME ON TLC... who is she doing to have this show to continue?? DELETE KATE SHE SUCKS!!!!!
kellie
TLC PLEASE BAND KATE GOSSLIN SHOW!!! she thinks she is some kind of star!! she is a nobody. her claim to fame is having KIDS?? wow, That's a real tallent? I had two kids can I have a show and get everthing for free? her real talet is to get TLC to keep her show alive. KATE is the worst show on tv hands down. I would rather watch kathy griffin. Please get some good shows and let that show end!!!!!!
paula

Pugluv
GUYS SINCE WE HATE KATE SO MUCH..... WE NEED TO STOP WATCHING HER..... START POTIONS TO GET HER KICKED OFF THE AIR!!!!!! SHE DOSENT DESERVE TO BE A MOM. SHE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HER SELF. SHE IS A HORRIBLE PERSON INSIDE AND OUT. SHES A WASTE OF TIME AND WASTE OF MONEY. THE ONLY THINGS THIS WOMEN DESERVES IS TO HAVE HER KIDS TACKEN A WAY AND LOSE EVERYTHING SHE OWNS. SHE DOSENT DESERVE ANYTHING.
Ralph DeMattia
Kate Gosselin is a complete waste of life! I agree with everything everyone has said so far. I can't help but wonder why she had all those kids anyway; she doesn't seem to want to raise them, at least not since that idiotic show started. I can't wait untill the kids ask her why she doesn't look like them.
Camilla
Kate is a fake, but there is only one good thing I am positive of. Being on top, someone is just waiting to knock you down. I bet one of her kids will be stolen, and she'll be all like "OH NO! Can you point the camera to my good side?"
d
I've been sooo wanting to vent about Kate Gosselin! Now I found my chance...
I used to love watching them as a family...I hate to say this, but I'm a bit like Kate with her OCD. Now I can't stand looking at her! Not so much for the OCD...suddenly that's gone. She strolls around pretending to be sooo into her children and their well being. She's looking forward t them ALL attending full days of school come this Sept. And pretends that it makes her a wee bit sad. Yeah right! She can go shopping some more or have time to promote herself. I'm sorry people...I hate her and I hate what she stands for. Whatever that is. Honestly, I hate to sound so prudish, but what's up with the high heels with every single outfit? I am no Mommy of the Year, but don't most mothers put their children first and not worry about how they appear in the eyes of others? She looks like a slut and is way too self centered for me!
Joan
A lot of judgment and hate in these comments about Kate. Why do you suppose that is? She is not hurting you or her children. Her children are doing activities that some children NEVER get to experience...how does that make it ALL FOR KATE?
Well, she is going to be around for awhile and if you don't like it, don't watch it. Sorry for all of you who have such conviction and hatred for someone you do not even know.
Joan

God has nothing to do with your unreasonable, stupid remarks. May He bless you and take the jealousy from your voices. All of you.

Don't "hate" Kate...just see right thru her. She's out for fame & money. You should be doing your lecturing towards her. Not jealous of Kate either. I love my family and my life. She's a selfish b***** looking for more fame and more money. End of story!
PS - I don't watch her or their shows anymore. However, she's everywhere else trying to be noticed. Can't control it...
None of your business
Her snide personality and fame went her inflated head, please make her go away. Does she need to be on Dancing with the Stars, the Emmys, Jay Leno? Whatever happened to what the show was originally about, the kids? No, it's about her royal highness and how she needs to pay the bills by being on these so called shows.
Ruth
Oh she has such a hard life. Having to learn to dance,,,how heartrending....right. Get your a@@ home. How many mom's have to announce they are back home? And I don't mean from a 8 hr day. I wish someone would show her how to say please and thank you. These kids are going to grow up expecting the world handled to them. I hope Jon is the stability they need. Sheesh lady, stop using your kids as an excuse to do what you want. I don't think dancing for the stars did them a lick of good. I am so surprised it took Jon so long to tell her good bye. She was his whipping boy and finally and at the childrens sake he had to go. The children were going to turn into men haters. Good luck Jon. My vote is and has always been for you.

Wendy Williams put it best on her show. Does anyone watch this show? NO! I cannot wait until we never hear of this dreg of the earth ever again. Go raise your kids! Trash Bag's new show has low ratings and will be canceled soon, we all can hope.
Erica
Hey Joan, you wish to believe that none of us have written books or have proper GRAMMAR (please note my spelling here, since you decided to change the spelling to "grammer"...oopsy) indicating that you, yourself, embody the very ignorance that you are espouting of others.
As for Kate, she is a sick woman who clearly needs attention to feel fulfilled. I am simply not impressed.
ML
I agree Erica. Why would anyone come to a blog called "I hate Kate Gosselin" and lecture all the posters on how jealous and bitter we are. LMAO! Joan, get off your high horse, you are here just like the rest of us.
Oh, and I despise Kate and wish she would go away. The fact that you type "i hate kate gosselin" into google and come back with close to half a million hits should tell her and her promoters something. I don't watch your creepy show anymore now that you are a Barbie doll more than a mother. Can't wait til you are history.
Mark
I just feel bad for the kids, their, mom is whacky and their dad split, they need a family not all that money. I know a few people with lots of kids and they work really hard to keep a roof over their heads and rely on family and community to reinforce loving values.
Kate was the obvious dominant partner in the relationship and she lead this family to the sad state it is in now. I don't hate her I will leave that for her kids and John to do. It's enough of a tragedy as it is.
Buddy
So many people tell me they are sick of this women that I wonder what we all can do to get the press and others from reporting on her.Her claims of always needing money just do not ring true to me,talk to a banker and find out how just a little money in the right hands bring in a nice return.But the kids are the ones who need help Iguess if we keep calling and writing it may help,but I think we all should just not watch or buy mags with her in it. Any body have other ideas?

i can not stand her, and i try not spend much time putting negative energy out, however she is all about a profit, her family is a business. sad, sad, sad, i really feel for the kids.
i hate kate, she is fake, she uses her kids as bait.

An awful person who is out for fame by using the kids. Trust me, these kids will be so screwed up in a few years due to the constant cameras being in their faces. Fact is, on that crappy show they may be able to stop a scene and re-shoot it, but once the show is over, you cannot re-shoot real life. And it will not only be her fault that the kids are screwed up, but the viewers as well.......you watched it and therefore you supported her! BTW, I've never watched this show but only know about it through the media and their relentless coverage of this horrible bitch.

All I can say is hopefully she goes away and we never have to see or hear anything from her again. I used to watch the show when Jon was on. I told my husband that they were going to wind up divorced because of the way she treated him. As soon as Jon left, I stopped watching. Those children are not even going to know what "real life" is. It is not normal to have a camera stuck in your face during "real life". It's is just extremely odd that a mother would want to subject her children to such a weird way of life. I feel sorry for the kids. Their only hope is for their father to get custody of them.

I have two comments that I would like to make!
First of all, everyone who villainizes Jon, you can give him credit for one thing: He never hit that CRAZY BITCH! This man was put down and berated by Kate on an ongoing basis, and he NEVER threatened her in any way; I would NEVER say that a woman DESERVES to be hit, but she tows the line!
Secondly, why does TLC spend the money they do on Kate and her kids? They have been all over the world, and I know damn well that SHE is not paying for it! She seems to think that she doesn't deserve to pay for anything!
I also watch 19 kids and counting. I love this TV show. I have NEVER seen any family quite like this one. THEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN, which is rare, nowadays! People criticize them for having so many children, and I never could figure out why. As long as I'm not supporting them, I don't care at all about how many children that they have. They support their kids through numerous commercial properties that they own and rent out, just so you know. Why doesn't TLC give this family, at the very least, a trip to Disney World or something; I am incensed that Kate and her brood gets the luxury vacations (including a wedding vow renewal which turned out to be a complete LIE). Maybe the Duggar family are too proud to receive any "extras" TLC has offered them. Kate has no shame; she seems to think that EVERYBODY owes her something and I am here to tell you, Kate, that maybe you need to watch the Duggar's show where their siblings all get along with each other; you could use some parenting classes as well, as you are a poor excuse for a mother. Your stupid show's damage is starting to show with your own kids: I heard that Alexis and Colin were EXPELLED for fighting and disrespecting authority; gee, I wonder where they learned that from! The other kids, I have also heard, are having behavioral problems, which YOU LIED ABOUT ON NATIONAL TV! AND YOU SUCK AS A DANCER, TOO! How's it feel to not have NO FAMILY and NO FRIENDS, only 8 kids who don't always like you, either? You're a low-life piece of shit!

You all need to stop hating on her! Do you know her personally? No you don't! You don't know her true and real reasons for why she does things. If she's such a wasted space as you all are saying, then why even take the time to write a blog about her or to even comment! She never said that society owes her that was a misprint and they have said that over and over again! People say they hate her yet they still watch her show! She chose not to abort the other embryos that's why she had 6! Just because she has different views and beliefs than other people, that doesn't make her a bad person! And if you were offered finacial stability by a tv network you all know you would take it! So if you really all hate her then stop talking about her and move on! Its sickening to see people rant and rave about someone because they are a reality star. I have read all of her books and I have respect for her. Yes she may seem very blunt and she may do and say some questionable things but that's because it was a true reality show! She didn't cover up things and she let them film everything. She cose not to edit things out because she wanted all of her viewers to see how life like that really is. And those reasons for not liking her are really lame! How do you know she doesn't eat organic always? Are you her chef do you live with her? Didn't think so! So I think you all need to get on with your lives. You say she's a waste of time yet your all taking time to read all the posts and cooment! Hypocritical if you ask me!

I watched this show once, about two years ago - just wanted to see what all the flak was about. My first reaction: SHOCK! This woman was a BITCH to her then-suffering husband who looked like he was in a trance and knew her well enough to know to agree, agree, agree. My take on this queen of the B's? She has Borderline Personality Disorder and it is rearing its ugly head more and more with the "rise" of her fame. She is a nut job and it would not surprise me one bit if we learned that Kate planned her multiples to do just what she's done.
I thought she was an awful mom on that one show I watched and a worst wife. I saw nuances of the comments to her childre; it was like she was always just under the wire in covering up sacasm or snottiness when speaking to her very young children or even about them to others. When I heard they were separating and divorcing, I remembered the show and wondered what took him so long.
Those children are at least not stuck with her 24/7. I'm sure they are glad to see mommy come home (like most kids whether the parents are nuts or not), but much happier to see her leave. Really! BPDs wear everyone in their lives to a frazzle. I'm sure she does just that as often as possible. I imagine she can't keep friends (or employees) either. BPDs make fast friends and lose them quickly after the non-BPDs realize that they aren't all they're cracked up to be and that they are just CRACKED!

She needs to b back to work as a nurse ... broke and working her ass off again to appreciate what she has..... She is a DIVA WANNNA B cause a real Dive HAS A TALENT

OH MY! there's no words to even begin to comprehend this psycho woman. I was a faithful watcher of jon and kate plus eight, from the very start, then she completely changed. Once she had her first makeover and haircut. It all went downhill from there. The fame came and the old simple kate was gone. You could tell right away when they begun doing appearances for famous talk shows/news, books, the fame begun to go to her head. Her children were an attention getter and she quote on quote "was doing all she could to better them" AS IF!! on one episode she was a total bag to her husband at "Toys R Us" for what, for playing with the kids and not be next to her side like a faithful dog would be at her becken call. Ugh! i do not like her anymore and i am glad jon has found his happiness, because now i think deep inside she regrets of what the outcome has been. Sometimes i think it is best to be simple middle class average joe than to have it all, better to be poor and happy than alone and misserable.

This woman has got to be the biggest charlatan of all time. She is, in my opinion THE worst mother on the planet. I do not understand how she had become such a phenomenon and why the media is so entranced with her. She has ZERO talent and is ugly to boot! She should go and get a real job (or go back to her real job) and stop exploiting her children in order to support her family. She makes me sick and I stopped watching her crappy show about a year ago. Yuck!

Kate Gosselin should be charhged with eight felony counts of violating Murphy's First Law of Procreation, which reads, and I quote; "Stupid People Should Not Breed"!

WHY is Kate so hated and despised?
1. Abuse of her pathetic husband. Come on, we all know about Asian guys. So give him a break.
2. Abuse of her bad mannered kids. Well, they are not all bad mannered. Except maybe the older one who is pretty consistent about acting like a special-ed dropout.
3. Acting like a pro at mothering when she is a miserable failure. I've seen enough botched Gosselin holidays and meals and outings for a lifetime, really...
4. Groaning about bills when she is earning millions off her freakish litter
5. Groaning about her bills, and claiming she is frugal, even a coupon-cutter, then spending untold amounts on plastic surgery, mansions, sports cars, and boyfriends, I mean, bodyguards
6. And wait, what happened to the dogs?
