Rhonda in TX Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Jon has just lost his mind. Kate may not be much better, but at least she's not so visible. I heard that Jon is no longer on the show and it's going to be called 'Kate Plus 8'. Ugh. We used to love to watch that show, but it really changed once they moved to that big house. Then, when the split became public, we quit watching. I do not care to watch a family self-destruct for entertainment purposes. Blech. Those poor kids.

Truscifi Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I have never watched the show, and I am terribly sick of hearing about people I wasn't interested in watching in the first place. The same goes for Michael Jackson. Why is a news network like CNN spending so much time on these topics? (Off topic perhaps, but that is my main complaint, as I do watch CNN regularly.)

MomtoCandJ Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 i agree it's all got to stop, along with all the stuff about Michael Jackson, Patrick Swaze (sp?), Martin Luther King jr. kids, and all that other crap, if they are dead leave them in peace, if not dead just leave them alone no wonder Brittney Spears had issues, I would too if I had everyone up in my business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not knocking her and I'm not knocking that store. It's just two different point of views coming together, and the fact that they didn't mesh was evident, IMO. Don't forget that Jon & Kate built their own motorcycle & had the major chef on their show. None of it worked either. Every episode liked that seemed to prove more and more what a spiteful woman she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I don't know. She was on the Today show this morning talking about Jon taking $230,000 out of their joint account and leaving her with $1000. She is no saint but I'm starting to think she really is trying to provide for her children knowing that her ex is a deadbeat. Any man who hangs out with the creator of "Girls Gone Wild" has serious moral issues and shouldn't be allowed alone with children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better yet, $5000 so she could retain a decent attorney instead of the deadbeat pro-bono one she has. She lives on $608 a month in child support and can't get a job that will pay for rent, daycare, bills, etc. The Gosselins have made this bed, I wish they would just stop talking about it!

Dayle in Guatemala Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Unfortunately it seems as though they've lived a lifestyle that now needs that much money to support it. I mean, when she said she set aside $100,000 earlier because she was afraid that he would empty the account and she'd have nothing to use to feed her kids and pay her bills, I thought to myself, "Wow. You have THAT many bills?" I mean, even if it were over the course of several months, $100,000 is a lot of money. It seems to me he's less interested in protecting his kids than sticking it to Kate whenever he can. (Not that she's all that innocent either) The whole thing is just terribly sad.

The problem is that now, they are celebrities, like it or not. they were really struggling financially, and the show paid their bills. Now they have to provide security and private schools and all sorts of things for basic safety reasons, on top of the costs of raising the 8 kids. And Jon never once complained as long as his check kept coming. Now he is taking money out of the account and trying to stall the divorce out fo greed. It hasn't been about the kids in a long time.

It isn't like Kate could just go back to being a nurse as a single mom. Or likely that Jon is going to come off his high horse and go back to writing computer code or whatever it was he did. I think they are stuck in the celebrity life. At least Kate has other relatively dignified things going on like her book and maybe talk show hosting or some such. She may have made a mistake, along with with Jon in the very beginnning doing the show, but now that she is in it she realizes she has to make a living for those 8 kids.

Apparently, they have 2 homes -- the old one in Elizabethtown never sold and the $1.1 million dollar mansion. Bodyguards, nannies, and private chefs have to be paid. Reports a few months ago had Kate coming out of Kinko's with a paper showing a monthly expenditure list of bills close to six figures. Guess it had to be shown to the arbitraitor? Dunno how they have that much bills per month? Jon months ago said Kate has 11 different accounts. She pays the bills and is in charge of the $$$. I figure she has her earnings from books and speaking engagements (and the View) in those different accounts. I would love for this show to be cancelled. :glare: Edited October 5, 2009 by tex-mex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingersmom Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 My daughter had the show on Tivo but I banned it over a year ago. Its so abnormal to have your children on television like that. She chose to use whatever fertility methods she could and was fully aware of the risks. They knew it would be hard financially with 8 children to feed/clothe. I think she should go back to work, he should go back to work and they should both stay off the television. She is not the first women with many children to be single. I know someone who was raised by their mother after their father left them. Five children to be raised by their mother. And they were dirt poor. Suck it up. Move out of your million dollar home. Cancel the fancy vacations paid for by TLC. Shop at second hand stores. Welcome to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnieB Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 NOt only is Jon no longer on the show, I read that he's not allowing the kids to be filmed. Curiouser and curiouser. And, sadder and sadder for the kids. Rather curious that he suddenly has his "epiphany" (his word not mine) about the danger to the kids the exact same week that TLC announces his name isn't in the title of the show any more. And wow...it scares me to think that reports last year when all the scandal started were that they were being paid $70,000+ an episode (this was reported back when the brother and SIL were asking to be paid and Kate allegedly refused to let TLC and kicked them off the show). So 70k a show and all they have available in bank accounts is $221,000, so that when Jon allegedly took $220,000 out of this account Kate had to run to morning news shows wailing that she couldn't pay bills or feed her children? Wow....wonder where all the money has gone, especially since the show isn't even their only source of income (books, speeches, Jon's clothing line advance, Kate's next book advance). I can't say I understand their need to call the media with a press release for every nasty thing, or go on all these news/talk shows to talk more about it. Didn't they say in the very beginning that they were asking the media to respect their rights to privacy? Why don't they take their own request! I don't get cable so we could only watch the DVDs from the library, but I won't be borrowing this last season when it comes out....I am tired enough of having to sit through the news about their life so that I can hear the important news....I don't want to purposely watch this train wreck. I feel sorry for the kids....it's tough enough on a kid to watch their parents act like idiots in private, but to have their every move on news/gossip shows. And the sad part is that even if they are protecting their kids from all the news shows and such, it's going to be public fodder forever, so as adults these kids will have access to it. I wish TLC would pull the plug permanently....I thought it so classy of them to say they were suspending filming to give the family time to have privacy to work through all this....looks like that classy is over, lol. Personally though, I hope Jon wins and the kids aren't allowed to be on film anymore....that ends "whoever + 8" and hopefully Kate and Jon will slip into obscurity after that. And the kids can try to return to a normal life. Otherwise I see Mary Kate & Ashley x 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because I can see myself doing the exact same thing---on a bad day---not necessariy all of the time. Maybe that is why my stbx starting sleeping with a 23 year old. Shrug. I think Kate has recognized her tendencies to obess and I think Jon has used the public's distain of her to justify his actions. I think she has been much better of late. I hate to see their pubic problems played out in the media....but they are IN the media, and she knows it will be leaked eventually anyway....so why not get her side of it out there. As you can see I'm not a Kate Hater. But I can't stand to watch the show anymore. Makes me sick and sad to see families destroyed for whatever reason.

MomLovesClassics Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I saw an article today about more of their problems. Really, it did not need to be public. Something about his taking $250,000 an only leaving her $1000. something about $1000 could not buy groceries??? Ok if I had $1000 for groceries it would go a long way, and yes I could feed myself and 8 kids with $1000. I find it difficult to believe all the money they have in the world is $251,000. It is none of my business how much money they have, and what they do with it. On the other hand if she is going public saying she can not buy groceries with that, I believe there is someone who could give some great advice on how to stretch $1000 to feed the family. Or then again it could just be a stunt to get sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkett Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Definitely sick of the show...sick of the drama. I liked it at the beginning. Kate was annoying and over the top, but they seemed to be working together. Then, I think they just got waaaay too big for their britches. Everything had to match for the kids, big trips, then the big house, etc. Just too much. The kids need to be off camera... Jon & Kate need to get out of the spotlight. They BOTH need to think about their kids and the fact that their divorce is being played out in the headlines.... I'm sure someone has already (or will soon) say something to the kids at school. UGH!

mominbc Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thank-you for posting this. I am so tired of people being put on a pedistal. It's amazing how people were so drawn into their family, reading their books etc. like they were the perfect family when all you had to do is take off the rosy colored glasses to see how the whole thing was completely disfunctional. I agree with a lot of these posts that she had serious issues, and the way she stripped her husband was terrible. I really feel bad for these kids. When the marriage started failing they should have stopped taping and spent some serious time together and gone through counselling. Keeping the family together should have been the priority,not the paycheck. There are a lot of big families on this board who do amazingly well with the kind of income they used to have. It's terrible that she makes it out like you need a huge amount of money to make a big family work. :rant: Thanks for letting me rant!

And now, gee whiz it's insane. But I think a lot of biblical truth being played out too. Lesson for me- don't waste my time watching other lives on tv. Too much great life happening right here!
