Kate Gosselin: 'Jon's Priority is Jon'

kate gosselin blasts jon

Jon Gosselin successfully campaigned to pull his kids off of "Kate Plus Eight" today -- and his estranged wife Kate is slamming him for saying he's doing it for the brood.

"I'm saddened and confused by Jon's public media statements," Kate says in a statement to "Extra." The mother of eight, 34, insists she makes sure her brood is okay with the film crews. "Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits our children and was taping on Friday with the kids."

Mrs. Gosselin continues, "I do the show for my family because I believe it provides us opportunities we wouldn't otherwise have. Jon used to share that belief until as recently as the day the network announced the name change of the show and indicated that Jon would have a lesser role in the show. It appears that Jon's priority is Jon and his interests. My priority remains our children and their well-being."

It’s funny how people feel sorry for the way Kate treated Jon. Well, I think he is showing now that maybe she had reason!!! NOT the brightest crayon in the box now is he…… Hello Jon! Since you don’t want them filming your children anymnore I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD JOB ONE THAT WILL PAY CHILD SUPPORT AND MAYBE EVEN SUPPORT KATE. SHE CAN’T HOLD DOWN A FULL TIME JOB AND TAKE CARE OF 6 CHILDREN!!!!

Jon said, at the end of a season, before all the crazt stuff was out, that they may not contine the show, in which Kate said, Oh it will!. Jon was trying then to stop the crazyness of the show caused. So for him to finally put his foot down now is GREAT. I enjoyed the show, watching these small kids grow up, but now they are older, and in school. Let them grow up as normal as possible. Goodby Kate, maybe you can go write another book and go to some signing or talk. As a far as the comment about keeping her kids off welfare, please - give me a break, use all the money already received doing the show and book tours to feed the kids, vs new hairstyles, clothes and lifts. Jon was an abused man, doing the best he knew how, good for him for finding some of his own happiness!! Kate was a very organized, yes but also very demanding of her loved ones, including the children.

They are both opportunistic nut jobs and it is and has always been about the money and freebies…..that is why she is trying so hard to keep it going. She is a greedy greedy person who wants all the things exposing every moment of those kids lives can provide her. The show was supposed to be about a couple raising a bunch of kids, the ups and downs….well they have hit a huge down….they have shown just how lousy they are as a couple… game over, show over, move on…..now let the kids fade out of the media frenzy and hopefully Kate will keep her face out from in front of every camera she can get in front of and the world will be better for it. There are people who raise multiple children everyday and don’t have to count on freebies from viewers and movie cameras in their faces every moment to do so. They do it by hard work and budgeting….that seems to be a concept that Kate believes is beneath her.

Dear Kate,
You honestly amaze me, you are a strong wonderful woman and I wish you the best. I believe there are a lot of people praying for you or in support of you. You are a great lady, hope GOD continues to bless you and your children. Tikyra Angelique

I’m glad that Jon isn’t in the show any more. Kate does a great job with the kids. He didn’t want to be on the show so now he can get another job and support his kids. I wish Kate all the best in the world. I know she will do a great job. Good Luck!

Jon is just angry because he was written out of the show. No more party money,fancy trips with different women. He does not want Kate to get all the fame. He is not thinking about his kids future. How will they survive. Is he willing to go out and get another job? TLC needs to move Kate and the kids in another home to film. And as far as hiim saying he does not want them to film his kids. They are her kids too, she should have some say so as well.

About a year ago, I read an article where Jon said he no longer wanted to do the show. Now, since he is a playboy he needs the money. No money!! No honey!! TLC did not break up the marriage. He did!! Let Kate and the children continue the show and you go and continue to do your thing. Doing things behind Kate’s back.

Jon’s anger about TLC dropping his name from the show is certainly misplaced. It seems that his actions of this past summer led to them dropping him (or at least limiting his involvement). What I would be interested in knowing — where is he going to get the money to pay for the child support? Who in their right mind would even watch a reality show about him? Certainly not me.

I had to quit watching the Jon & Kate Plus Eight series, 1/2 way through the 2nd year, as I could not stand the way that Kate treated her husband. Watching how she emasculates Jon by talking to him as though he is no older or mature than his young children. She barked, bossed and sneered her way right into this divorce and it infuriates me when I see her being treated like the victim on shows like The View.

Jon and the children will be better off away from the cameras, and I would be willing to bet that Kate will become less of a tyrant once there are no cameras around for her to play to.

Do any of you remember how Jon was treated when were together? She belittled and bossed him around all the time!I always wonder if people treat people like that in front other people,I wonder how mean she is behind close doors! Jon is a great dad to those children , Kate seems moody and very contoling . I don’t trust anybody who don’t like animals!!!

I think it’s sad that these kids have been used to make these people money. I have absolutely no problem at all with him doing as he has been saying he’s wanted to do for a long time! Kate has said repeatedly that this is all about money. These kids need time to be just that KIDS!!! They have behavioral issues and are constantly subjected to the paparazzi. I’m sorry but I don’t see anything wrong with what he is doing. Kate needs to go back to nursing and save up some of that money she already has made at the expense of their family.

I think he is being stupid. I think that it all has to do with money. Jon probably realizes that he wont be making as much money and is pissed. He will be out on he but form that great apartment that he has. I am sure that if they don’t do the show he will realize how much he will have to pay in child support and who knows how he will pay for these kids because all he is doing os going out with girls and partying. Nice to see him out there trying to make money all he is doing is spending it. I think that u are just selfish!!!

I wish they would pull the show. I “HATE” how Kate won’t just let us watch the kids. I don’t need her giving a play by play of what the kids do in each show. I don’t agree with everything John is doing. But you know what I would have kicked Kate to the curb a long time ago. It’s not her business who he dates. As long as he takes care of the kids. She’s not a saint. She just has all the bad things about her edited out of the filming. I really hope the kids are going to see some of the money that’s been made. I remember one show when Kate was standing by the window of the new Kitchen. Her words were something like mine all mine. Now she says the house is for the kids. If your smart and watch. You can see when she “makes a mistake and contradicts what she said. She tries to be something she isn’t. Amazing how new money can make one act. I will NEVER watch the gold digger and the 8 kids. Maybe she needs to let some of the air out of her head. She’s not all that. To bad she doesn’t see herself for what she really is. I feel so bad for the kids if they get stuck (Yea I said Stuck) with her. She thinks of herself as a Queen. Last thought. Move on with your life. You have made John miserable for so long. He’s gone and I see why. It’s on tape. Kate choose to have all of those kids. She knew the chance of having several babies. There are others out in the world that have a lot of kids and you don’t see them pimping their kids out on a TV show to make money. I think it really kills Kate to not be able to control John anymore. So she tries to put him down when ever she can. Who cares what John does. As long as he is there to take care of the kids when it’s his time. Then it’s no ones business what he does.
His life is going on and everyone is having a fit because he is no longer doing what everyone wants him to do. He took his balls back from Kate and moved on. She was the one that was gone 20 some days at a time and left him home with the kids. WoW what a bad dad. If he was just some guy no one would say anything about what he’s doing. Kate live your own life. and stop caring what he’s doing. And maybe if I say enough prayers Kate will go away and no one will have to see you again. Kate you made the show suck for me and many people I know. Thanks. People Love your kids, NOT YOU. Pull the show and give the kids a break. They don’t need to be going through this while their parents are going through a divorce. You come across as the one that needs the camera time. The kids don’t.

I think Jon has every right to be pissed and I think everyone who acts like he is some child and Kate some maurter is retarded!! All anyone can think about is the show going off the air NOT that the kids are suffering and no one is listening!! You all make me sick!!

Jon has not distinguished himself and both have acted badly in public. However, Jon is clearly a great parent and loves his kids more than being all “Hollywood.”
