Jon Gosselin vs TLC: Network Calls Him 'Erratic'

Reality dad Jon Gosselin is none-too-pleased that "Kate Plus Eight" is moving on without him -- and he's fighting back by attempting to ban TLC camera crews from their Pennsylvania home!

Gosselin refused to answer questions at LAX today, but his manager tells "Extra" that they have sent a "cease and desist" to TLC to try and stop the taping of the show. "He's been trying to stop the show for a while now," Gosselin's rep explains. "He wants to get his private life with his family back."

Gosselin's manager also claims that the eight children have been complaining about the filming, and Jon "doesn't feel that the show is necessary anymore."

In August, Kate told Larry King that she and her brood would continue filming, regardless of Jon's involvement. "Myself and the kids will continue the show," Kate declared, adding, "I signed my name to a contract and I am going to do my best to make that work as long as it is healthy and safe for myself and the kids."

UPDATE: The Learning Channel has released a statement regarding Jon Gosselin's attempt to ban filming of "Kate Plus Eight." It reads:

"We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic."

TLC goes on to remind viewers that Jon is under contract with the network, but concedes that "Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents."

UPDATE: Kate has responded to Jon's statement -- find out what she has to say here.

jon is a JERK!!! he didn’t want publicity but what a publicity whore he has become with all his slutty girlfriends. You can be separated and still maintain discretion but he probably couldn’t spell it let alone know what the word means. And to put up a sign with a word spelled wrong doesn’t say much for his intelligence.

I believe I’ve heard both of them say they’re doing the show to provide for their children’s future, etc. They’ve made so much money by now each child could have received 2 Ph.Ds. It’s ridiculous to use that to defend their lack of judgement.

I think that “Reality” has hit him! YOU PLAY YOU PAY! He is an out of work womanizer and now he ACTS like he wants his family back. Truth is he only wants the paycheck! I am glad that they are continuing with the show because it shows what REAL life can be like. Kate is an example of a strong woman that is stepping up to the plate in a very humilating situation.

“I signed my name to a contract and I am going to do my best to make that work as long as it is healthy and safe for myself and the kids.”—forever on TV? How many years is she talking about here? Until the kids get married and have kids of their own? This being on reality TV sure makes her life easier..this is her “work”..this is how she is “supporting” her kids..oh wait..it’s more like the network and the sponsors supporting them..how lucky can she get!! who is the opportunist here?

too late Jon, why didn’t you come forward like this weeks or maybe years ago? It would have helped you so much more, but money always comes into play, how sad this is and Kate should be ashamed of herself as well, she knows this is not good for her children.

MAN!!! have any of u people watched this show in the past,, john isn’t or wasn’t the problem the only problem John had was he didn’t stand up for him self…why do u think there familys were never in the picture. cause kate said NO!!! Kate belittled him, tore him down, and talked to him like he was a friggen idiot. as soon as something didn’t go her way. BOOM! She would scream at him, ya “hes not too smart”. 1 he married her, for listening to her.And hes not an aggressive person, shes the boss. and im sure he just got SO sick of people telling him hes a P-on. hopefully now he’s found his “Balls” and is speaking for him self, you all need to give him a break, they need to get off the telly and make those children there number one priority which is whats hes seems to be tryin to do now. and neva mind what people are saying about him, CARMA baby CARMA im a firm believer of it. and what go’s around comes around. and she’ll get her’s i hated watching it when she would be-little him and embarrass him in public, i think shes bipolar? like ur grama used to say “it’ll all come out in the wash”

Jon is an IDIOT he is mad because he knows NONE of those BIMBOS are going to have ANYTHING to do with him now that his money is going to stop. At least Kate was doing things to make sure her children were going to have a roof over their heads and food on the table, Jon is a player and he needs to grow up!! His children have a higher IQ then he does he is a moron.

Both parents appear to have an inflated opinion of themselves. And don’t you think it was the sign company that spelled penalty wrong?

He is a hater, he knows that Kate don’t need him for shit and now he is trying to prevent her from supporting her kids. Too bad Jon your a looser and now you have really showed your true colors , get a job and get a life and leave Kate alone you’ve done plenty to damage your family.
You were not thinking at all of the kids when you were rolling your oats with your girlfriends. Boo hoo to you.

The guy is a bum, leaving his wife and eight children. He acts like a child himself and deals with all those young girls. Don’t you think she would want a break too. yes, she had to fuss, he was so busy being selfish. Never did anything he wasn’t asked to do. WHAT A BUM!!!

I think Jon is right, and I think that he should go out and get a job so he can pay child support to his ex wife. How does he expect to pay for the upkeep of eight children? Does he think that Kate will have to support them alone with her book royalties? No more Paris for you Jon, not for another 15 years I’m guessing.

Jon should have limited access to his children, particularly helping them with spelling lessons. Nice sign Jon.

Jon Gosselin needs to GROW UP!!! It’s apparent that the reason Kate had to ‘take charge of him’ is because he is juvenile in his thinking, reasoning, behavior and actions! What a sad situation for Kate and the kids.

Jon is clearly not very intelligent. He spelled “Penelty” wrong on that sign. It’s “Penalty”.
