People don’t like it when someone messes with their ability to make money. TLC included, and that is WRONG in this instance, because it is the health of the kids that is at stake. Jon does not want to keep doing the show and he does not want his kids to do it any more. It would be a hardship for Kate to raise these kids without the help she is accustomed to, and that is why she wants to keep doing it. Is that thinking of the kids? I don’t know.

Jons the peice a work!! He needs 2 get a job and support his family. Stop Stealing from Kate and the kids. It was ok for the kids 2 be on tv as long as he was making $. But, as soon as he is fired he wants 2 play god n decide it’s not ok for them 2 be on tv. GET A GRIP JON!! Be man get A job and take care of your kids!!!

Kate is a real piece of work…Jon was the one who played with the kids while he nasty wife barked orders at him. TLC should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to exploit this family and their MANY problems. I’m sure they ALL need therapy. Regardless of what everyone thinks…Kate does not take care of those children. The nanny does, while mom’s out tanning, shopping, and going on her making “speaking” trips. Who actually pays to hear this woman speak? She goes on air crying out her husband stealing all the “household” money and how she doesn’t have money to buy food, blah, blah, blah…when she makes millions from her books. Where in the world did that money go Kate???
I DO NOT feel sorry for these people…just the kids. Poor Mady is going to turn into a mini Kate. That child need therapy as well.

ENOUGH of the Gosselins…They need to
get OFF THE AIR, so tired of seeing
this disfunctional family and FAME SEEKERS……

Sounds like the mother needs alot of help and people need to step in and watch her kids if she’s this way with her responsilblies. Heaven help those kids of her’s as well.

I am a woman in my 50’s who watched the reruns on TLC. I liked it but was constantly annoyed by Kate’s inability to show any Love for her husband who took care of their “8” kids very responsibly everytime she went on a speaking/book signing, promo to wherever and I never heard anyone giving him credit for being the stay at home daddy. He did alot for and with those kids and I give him a lot of credit for living with her as long as he did and taking her verbal abuse non-stop on camera and off. She belittled, yelled, constantly critisized his every move in front of the camera and in front of the 8 children. I give him credit for standing up for himself finally and calling it quits. Contract or no contract. She beat the love into the ground with great force and now she is crying oh poor pitiful me. She didn’t care that she was tearing them appart. She wants to play the total victim here and I see alot of women do this. It is really too bad because the children are the ones who always lose.

Amy, if you have seven kids, you’re really only proving my point aren’t you? I mean, here you are, all kids in tow, and you’re sitting on the computer typing on the Extra website about Jon and Kate. I guess I’d be upset too, if I fit into such well-defined stereotypes. You’re most obviously biased to sympathize with Kate because of your own similarities and you overgeneralize men and put them all in to the same category. Honestly, let’s not talk about Jon’s parenting where situations like this are concerned…I think he’s probably the last of your and America’s concerns.

I think the world should remember “I Love Lucy”. These folks had a shared career and when it went away moved on with reason. Why is this so hard?

Not Again Jon!!! Omg we’ve had enough!

Does anyone else besides their families care about this show??

Drop the show. It was boring to begin with.

I am baffled as to why Extra and Entertainment Tonight seem to be hanging on Jon’s every word. I have watched off and on since they first appeared on Oprah, shortly after the six babies were born. He was a jerk then and still is. He goes around the world flaunting a girlfriend and partying in Vegas with girls gone wild dude in a limo of blondes and you buy that he is concerned about the kids and what kids will say to upset them about their parents saying ugly things on tv?!?!? The only thing I can figure is that Kate is not talking to Extra or Entertainment Tonight so she becomes the bad guy. Be fair and report fairly please.

Are they going to sue Kate as well for all the appearances she has made lately on tv. I don’t buy her for a minute.

I agree with Lee. And I am a woman. She dragged them in to this and treated him like crap on TV. I am surprised they lasted as long as they did. And her family has also come out and told about how she is. They had nothing to gain there. Just let the show die and the kids get back to a real life.

Jon is no saint, but he’s not entirely to blame either. If you’re at all objective you have to admit that Kate is inflexible, disingenuous, and image-obsessed.

Lee…grow up…that was about a useless a comment as anyone can state. I know a lot of men who watch this show…it’s about the kids…who cares if mom and dad “get along”. The show is about what it is like having that many kids to care for and the life of that many children while growing up. All the commentary is about the kids…anything else was “fluff”. I am a parent of triplets and four other children. I am divorced by my husband for his desire to find that great bodied woman. I am not fat, my stomach is destroyed. I have three friends who I met through the triplet connection and they are all divorced by their husbands due to the body thing. All four husbands cheated prior to the divorce. Shows what you know, Lee!

I don’t watch the show, but I have paid attention to the news about Jon and Kate. I have to say I relate to Kate because my ex did the exact same thing to me. Too bad I didn’t have the t.v. and tabloids chasing him around to expose the type of man he really was.
Good for you TLC. I have to say, I didn’t approve of your non involvement with reining in the guy who was ruining your reputation as a responsible t.v. network. Kudos!

Jon has had a rough time not only living up to the unrealistic and downright pesky expectations of his former naggy wife, he has to sell his soul to a TV show that doesn’t really give two cents about his presence. Can anyone blame him (except for man-hating mommies who sit at home watching soaps and reality TV all day)?

Epiphany? Communication would have been a better strategy. Boys will be boys; now comes the responsiblities of manhood. I wish success to Kate and her beautiful EIGHT children.

John had a good thing going, but, he HAD to have a fling with some bimbo who wanted nothing more than spotlight and ruin it all!!! All men should take note. HA
