So the real question is: Why are all these false rumours coming out on ROL at this particular time? What's in it for anybody to continue to bash Jon if a) he lost the court case and b)TLC is continuing to film the kids?
Kate's image needs rehabiltating desperately, but the way to do it is not to bash Jon, who is riding a wave of popular opinion at this point. Are we seeing the last vindictive twitchings of the demise of Kate's career?
Seems like a lot of people who formerly were able to make money off Kate and the children may no longer be able to do so,and they are being spiteful about it.
I'm confused (nothing new there!), but did Jon say that his stepfather never talked to ROL (there was no interview), or that his father was interviewed but denies that he said that he doesn't talk with Jon?
If that's the case, Jon could build up a case for defamation of character against Radaronline, and demand they disclose their sources.
And while they're at it, subpena Kate's PR people, and have a "friendly conversation" with them.
You know what- I'm waiting for Radaronline to release a statement that Jon fathered a space baby... or that he was a teenaged pimp.... or that he regularly beat the crap out of Kate...
Radaronline- in my book, you are par with Mad Magazine.
Since ROL - either with or without TLC's blessing - is doing a smear campaign against Jon by misquoting his stepfather, I don't see how Jon can fight this without publicly doing yet another tweet to his 80,000 followers.
To put it out there that unless it comes from his twitter account, it is not to be believed.
To remind everyone that it still is about the 8 children and what is in their best interest.
Hollywood Life also claims that they've talked to his Life Coach who says they're working on a book and he's looking for work in the IT field and has some jobs lined up. However, Jon apparently just tweeted someone to say that wasn't true.
So as you said, what's up with all the Jon gossip?
I think Radar just proved to a lot of people that were on the fence about it that they are posting things on behalf of Kate/TLC. Bad move, IMO. This stunt makes them AND Kate look bad. (not that either of them needed help with that)
I'm curious about the timing too. Is TLC trying desperately to rehab Kate's image? She's seen as a famewhore pretty much across the board now and there's no going back to the Perfect Mom image. There's no doubt in my mind Kate could have made herself a long and lucrative career with the "mom" image, but she chose to go with the glamour look and attitude and it cost her big time!
this is just odd. First a Katie-mom who is, then isnt. then is real then disappears. Now a Jon-stepdad, who is, then isnt....
WTH? Maybe trying to show that Kate has a supportive family and Jon doesnt? But why? I mean it is all so pathetic. Maybe trying to prove that Jon couldnt manage all 8 on his own without any family to help? Family court wont take the word of ROL on that. (Although Kate is stupid enough to think the court would.)
Or maybe just sheeple getting bored. Their kids are back in school and not enough to do?
Kate has been conspicuously absent lately. So who crawls out of the woodwork? None other than Hailey Glassman and Kate 2.0 Major. I'm just waiting for Stephanie Santaro to pop her head up too.
I think Kate 2.0 and Hailey are being paid to trash Jon. Isn't it awfully convenient that they are in the right place at the exact right time to give their comments to Radaronline. It's not a coincidence.
If Kate Gosselin trashed Jon again it would be a public relations nightmare and generate more negative press. Remember when she trashed Jon on R&K - Kate received tons of negative press from that. I think if she pulled a stunt like again she would be completely done.

Lauren, My sentiments exactly! We have not seen hide nor hair of Take since that pic of her shopping at Whole Foods in the canary yellow jacket on that rainy day.

"Radaronline- in my book, you are par with Mad Magazine."
???
Years ago Mad Magazine was a brilliantly funny magazine. When did they turn into a POS gossip rag? They sure know how to generate the hits, though, don't they?
The Gossip Girls is(are) reporting that Kate has lost another nanny. Another nanny has quit because Kate drove her "insane". She says Kate has gone eleven nannies and tons of helpers in the last few years.
Admin, there is a sweet video on You Tube about Jon and his fight to get his kids off tv, the song track is "Let them be Little", someone named Irene shared it on RWA.
Just read on the Internet that Kate's 11th nanny quit b/c Kate was too controlling and a neat-freak. This is the same thing that drove Jon away!! Why can't realize that?? Oh wait, it's Kate. And she doesn't care how she treats other people, only herself. As long as she gets her own way 24/7, all is right in her world.
Somehow in their twisted thinking they believe that they are supporting the Gosselin kids by trashing their father?
-------------------
For the sheeple, it's not about any concern for the children; otherwise, they would't insist on exploiting them for money. It's all about Kate, their queen, and by trashing Jon, they are exaulting her.
It's time for nanny skanktoro to make her appearance on ROL. I think a BS meter regarding most things Gosselin (not including the children) has already skyrocketed to the moon.
I don't know what to make of this anymore. And yes both Jon and his stepdad should sue Radar for libel if he didn't give this interview. If this interview was totally bogus, then maybe the story about Kate's mom was also bogus.
It sounds more to me like his stepdad was trying to blow them off, with statements like I haven't talked to him about this issue, it's no one's business. And Radar spun it to suit what they wanted it to say--that they're estranged.
In looking at it again he never said they were estranged, just that he hasn't talked to him since Jon said he wants the kids off TV--which, as someone pointed out, was last week. Heck I haven't spoken to my dad in a week. It happens. We are incredibly close, it doesn't mean anything we haven't had a moment to connect this week. He also said he didn't have his number--well that is not necessarily strange either. A lot of "dads" leave the phone calling to the moms. Since when do you see most men chit-chatting away a Saturday night on the phone with each other? Doesn't mean you don't have a great relationship with your son.
Do we believe we're supporting the Gosslin kids by trashing their mother? &&&&&&& I think the sheeple support Kate, not the kids. In any case, what some people call trashing, others calling holding someone's feet to the fire. Was all the negativity about Bush toward the end of his term "trashing" to you? Was it right for people to make fun of his looks and stupidity? Or was it really about people very upset and frustrated that men were dying day after day for a war fewer and fewer people saw as necessary and that was becoming clearer was based on total lies, the more men that died? It is not trashing when you are mad at someone for their choices. People are upset at the choices Kate has made and are holding her feet to the fire. Call it what you like.
There have been some comments about her looks. Those comments are sporadic. Not everyone cares about her looks or her clothes or what have you. Not everyone chooses to comment on this aspect of her, some do. Me personally I don't care about fashion, hair, makeup, and shoes, and I rarely comment on her appearance. Go back and look--you will not see very many of my comments. Other people also don't comment on it. Not everyone is interested. Again, don't generalize.
There are some psycho sheeple out there, I saw a disturbing Twitter account with photos of a "can of whoop-ass" directed at Jon, I find that frightening, but I don't lump them all together in one group. I think there is a group of people who genuinely believe this is not harming the kids and that is their right. I would not call them all crazy just as people who do not support Kate should not all be accused of needlessly ragging on her.

***********************************************
You are 100% correct, Skeptical. Mad was a brilliant magazine!
What I meant to say is that Radaronline is basically a farce- no real journalism involved.
JMO, I think all these Gosselin/Kreider people, family members, girlfriends, boyfriends, should just all just STFU already, stop tweeting, giving interviews, and just go away so these kids can salvage some sort of semblance of normalcy and childhood. As far as I'm concerned, Jon is as bad as Kate, he won't just go away and get out of the limelight either, and his girlfriend (if that's who's REALLY tweeting) needs to just mind her own business, if the kids' welfare is so important then get a good attorney to represent them in court. Scuse the rant, just getting sick of all the finger pointing from ALL sides.
Mark my words, this is just more spin and free publicity for TLC and Kate's latest escapade at a tv series. The "stuff" always hits the fan before an event involving Kate, whether it's a magazine cover, a new series or her appearance on a series or a new season of Kate plus 8. That is the way it works with TLC. They plant these stories in the tabloids to drum up viewers for whatever project they decide to put Kate in.
@Pink - Whenever I read anything from ROL I picture a bunch of journalism college dropouts sitting around with their feet up on a desk, stuffing their faces with Big Macs, laptops on their legs - writing junk stories just to stay on the payroll. Purina could market it as SheepleChow.

But, this time, the planted and totally bogus stories are lame, lame, lame. They are trying to make something out of nothing. If this is an attempt to keep Take Greedslin relevant, then TLC is doing a crappy job. I think it's time for Buh-bye, Kate.

Auntie, I don't think they even got to college. These are high school drop-outs who took a few online writing courses, and slap their stories together AT a McDonalds that has free wireless internet. Bet if you look at their laptops, there are pieces of sesame seed bun and special sauce in between the keys.
By the way, isn't Kate still under contract with Zondervan to write another NY Times best-seller?
By the way, isn't Kate still under contract with Zondervan to write another NY Times best-seller? ===== I'll bet the boys over at Zondervan hope that's one contract she doesn't fulfill. I see Amazon has IJWYTK listed at "40 used from $0.06." Ouch.
AuntieAnn, who can pass up that deal for her book?? Oh, I know...ME!!
This whole thing with Jon's dad sucks. Those poor kids. They will see all of this someday. The back & forth & in between. I know Jon's trying, but him & Kate started all of this. If they hadn't put the kids on TV in the 1st place, NONE of this would be happening right now. Whose to say Mady & Cara haven't seen some of this internet crap already? We have a block on our internet, but my son (he's 10) can surf the web. Who is to say that Mady hasn't seen some of the hate sites devoted to her? She knows she's famous, (or infamous) she could easily Google her name. Poor kids. End it now!!!
With respect, Hippie Chick, it really doesn't matter how the nightmare got started for the kids or who is responsible, IMO. What matters is that Jon is now trying to make amends by doing what he can to stop the craziness and to help his kids reclaim a normal life.
What is the point of continuing to blame Jon for what he now realizes was a bad mistake? Kate is the one who refuses to allow the children to have the peace and privacy they need.We need to focus our efforts on supporting whoever is trying to keep the kids off TV.
Wow Mickey! If that really is BabyMama, then no wonder Kate needs a bodyguard. BM should be contacting Kate's PR team/agent. I highly doubt Kate gives BM the time of day evidenced by BM's resorting to Kate's fake blog as a way of communication.
Cyber bullies or free speech? Cyber bullies or calling out a child exploiter?
There is a huge difference between discuss a public figures choices, and going after a private person. Which is what Kate fans do, they make it VERY personal. There are far more trolls who try to derail things here than those that go over to the fan sites. I don't understand why we're capable of just letting the fan sites be, but they can't stand to just let us be. They talk about us all day long and craft plots to stop us all day long, it's crazy.
I'm sure Kate can take care of herself and if she wants help from the fans I'm sure she will contact them. However the only thing I've heard from Kate about the fans is that they are "over-zealous" and bother her when she's out with her kids such as in NYC. I don't feel a lot of love from her toward the fans. What I find telling is she never talked about how people who don't like her bother her. It's always the fans.
Cyber bullying? You should see some of the comments I have gotten toward me that I've deleted. But I'm a big girl and like Kate I can take care of myself. If I need help I am capable of asking for it.
I do have to point out though in defense of Baby Mama, if this is possible, as far as I can tell I have no evidence she has ever tried to distrupt things here. I don't think she trolls over here like I know some people from some other sites do. And of course I've never trolled over there. Frankly I'm not even sure which site is hers now, I don't visit other Gosselin blogs, pro or con.
In a strange way I kind of respect her for that. She has her opinion on this and I have mine, and we can coexist without bullying each other.

________________________________
I had read somewhere that Kate was "writing" a book on how the divorce has affected her even though she is the one who pushed for it. Bitch. Kate is a lying con artist.
I agree IDModo. I do. And I give Jon big props for trying to end this. Kate is the one who is still trying to continue this madness, but if it hadn't happened in the first place...they were BOTH green & saw dollar signs. Jon realizes his mistakes, sure, but aren't they both to blame really for the whole start of the thing? Trust me when I say however, I blame Kate fully for the continuation of exploiting those kids. She's not green anymore, but she is still seeing those dollar signs. When is enough enough? It's sad. That's all her kids are to her.
She's not green anymore, but she is still seeing those dollar signs. ______________________
I think she is green. Green with envy. She knows her 15 minutes are up, but she wants so bad to be a celebrity living in Hollywood. She's jealous that she doesn't have any talent like acting, dancing, singing, etc. She's like the Hulk---once she gets angry, she turns into a raging monster.
Everyone should note that Ellen Gray wrote this article "Is Kate Gosselin stealing childhood from her brood of 8" in September, a MONTH before Jon sent out his first tweet which confirms this article :)
This whole Gosselin mess is most definitely winding down.
Boymom said: There's no doubt in my mind Kate could have made herself a long and lucrative career with the "mom" image, but she chose to go with the glamour look and attitude and it cost her big time! ************************* Boymom, I totally agree with you! Yesterday I saw Kelly Rippa (sp?) on one of her commercials for Electrolux appliances in which she does "mom" things. If Kate had turned out to be a mom most women could admire, she could have been a spokesperson for all kinds of products - appliances, mini-vans, laundry detergent, the list is extensive. Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs is on a couple of commercials just being himself. Kate's so pathetic - her narcissism is going to be the undoing of her.

Kate tried this a couple of years ago right after they hired the public relations firm. She did a couple minor internet promos for (I really don't remember what it was now) and she flopped I think, because she wasn't relatable.
"I don't think she trolls over here like I know some people from some other sites do."
~~~~
She does troll here, as do her regular followers. You are "the Bloggin' Lawyer" or "the BL" over there (at Baby Mama's place). They've taken Ellen to great task for posting here, and it rankled them that Ellen reached out to you. They say Ellen should never be associated with a blog that calls the children's mother names, or some such nonsense. They've called down Schmecky for posting here and are always refuting the pro-Jon posts and as well as those here that can still receive his tweets. (For what that's worth, and it really ain't worth much!)
There's a difference between lurking here and trolling here.
Anyone is free to lurk, that's their right. Trolling is when people post anonymous comments trying to bully and distrupt. There really is not proof that BabyMama has ever been one to post said anonymous comments. Unless she has admitted that she has posted here, there's no evidence she has.
In any case, what I can't see doesn't hurt me. I don't care what they say as I never read it.
There's no doubt in my mind Kate could have made herself a long and lucrative career with the "mom" image, but she chose to go with the glamour look and attitude and it cost her big time! ************************************************
I also agree. If she had not been so damn unlikeable, it would have been a pleasure to watch her on t.v. (without the kids, of course). But alas, she is Katie Irene...
Save the kids said... Kelly Ripa is so adorable in that Electrolux commercial..Kart couldn't pull it off. ____________________________
Kate can't pull it off because she is ITLESS. Kelly has IT. Kelly has worked her way up the entertainment ladder to get where she is today. I remember watching a show called Dance Party USA and there was Kelly Ripa dancing herself silly. Kelly has worked hard and it has paid off.
I was surprised that Kate's bid to be a "mom" spokesperson never panned out. She was tried by Kmart, the clothing company (Health-Tex?), the furniture company that donated furniture for the new house, and really, by all the products like Juicy Juice that were product placements in the show. Those are a LOT of opportunities squandered and I think it says a lot about how unlikeable she is to the majority of viewers/public that not one of them ever became something sustainable for her.
I did read BM's Tweet. She did say a few times that people pretend to post as her to put the quotes on other sites and she did not write that. I think it's very easy now for people to write whatever they want and get away with it. Sad really.
And I would like to also mention sine I read both the pro & the con Gosselin sites. I think people like to cause a bit of trouble by making comments saying your site is attacked. BM from what I have seen has never said a negative thing about this site personally. Ellen on the other hand is always brought up, and I don't know how I feel about that either. I just find it interesting that the views are so incredibly strong on both sides.
Sites can co-exist and have their own strong views. I like and choose both and that is my right. But sometimes you need to take comments for what they are, and sometimes stick up for the enemy so to speak if you feel that there isn't warrant for the attack. Still love this site!

After hearing her radio interview, all I have to say about her is that I disagree on many of her views. But she actually sounds like a nice enough person, if not a little giggly and nervous. Imitating her is wrong if that is what is happening and if anyone here did that I would implore them to knock it off. She has a right to agree with Kate just as we have a right to disagree.
I would be lying if I didn't admit it is irritating to know there are sites out there that seem to exist solely to try to bring down sites like this. I agree with Lisa, we can have our opinion and they can have theirs and we can co-exist without engaging in pettiness and below the belt attacks. If TLC has a problem with our sites they are welcome to take it up with us (oh wait they did and failed, so that settles that.) That is why I made the rule NO TRASH TALKING other blogs.

Fortunately we live in a country where we can all discuss our differences & beliefs without going to jail or worse.

I agree. I have always thought, from the first season of the show, that what Kate really wanted was to star on one of those "Diva Housewives" shows. She passed up the possibility of many other sustainable entertainment options in order to focus all of her energies on the rude-diva persona that she thinks is sooo clever.
I still dont think she has given up on that yet. It's just not going to happen in area she currently lives.

I think Radar just proved to a lot of people that were on the fence about it that they are posting things on behalf of Kate/TLC. Bad move, IMO. This stunt makes them AND Kate look bad. (not that either of them needed help with that)

this is just odd. First a Katie-mom who is, then isnt. then is real then disappears. Now a Jon-stepdad, who is, then isnt....
WTH? Maybe trying to show that Kate has a supportive family and Jon doesnt? But why? I mean it is all so pathetic. Maybe trying to prove that Jon couldnt manage all 8 on his own without any family to help? Family court wont take the word of ROL on that. (Although Kate is stupid enough to think the court would.)
Or maybe just sheeple getting bored. Their kids are back in school and not enough to do?
If his Stepfather gave no such interview than he should sue.
My take on it is this...
Kate has been conspicuously absent lately. So who crawls out of the woodwork? None other than Hailey Glassman and Kate 2.0 Major. I'm just waiting for Stephanie Santaro to pop her head up too.

And she doesn't care how she treats other people, only herself. As long as she gets her own way 24/7, all is right in her world.
Jon is done with his life coach because of that interview.
When the sheeple can't find anything admirable about Kate to talk about, they simply trash Jon.
Somehow in their twisted thinking they believe that they are supporting the Gosselin kids by trashing their father?

Because of the ROL interview? What does Jon's coach have to do with the interview?
Somehow in their twisted thinking they believe that they are supporting the Gosselin kids by trashing their father?
-------------------
For the sheeple, it's not about any concern for the children; otherwise, they would't insist on exploiting them for money. It's all about Kate, their queen, and by trashing Jon, they are exaulting her.

Do we believe we're supporting the Gosslin kids by trashing their mother?
It's time for nanny skanktoro to make her appearance on ROL. I think a BS meter regarding most things Gosselin (not including the children) has already skyrocketed to the moon.
I don't know what to make of this anymore. And yes both Jon and his stepdad should sue Radar for libel if he didn't give this interview. If this interview was totally bogus, then maybe the story about Kate's mom was also bogus.
It sounds more to me like his stepdad was trying to blow them off, with statements like I haven't talked to him about this issue, it's no one's business. And Radar spun it to suit what they wanted it to say--that they're estranged.
In looking at it again he never said they were estranged, just that he hasn't talked to him since Jon said he wants the kids off TV--which, as someone pointed out, was last week. Heck I haven't spoken to my dad in a week. It happens. We are incredibly close, it doesn't mean anything we haven't had a moment to connect this week. He also said he didn't have his number--well that is not necessarily strange either. A lot of "dads" leave the phone calling to the moms. Since when do you see most men chit-chatting away a Saturday night on the phone with each other? Doesn't mean you don't have a great relationship with your son.
SylviaLaFair, Jon's life coach, gave an unsolicited interview to a tabloid about Jon's job hunting, without Jon's permission.I don't think it was ROL.
If their mother would take her children out of the spotlight, we could mock her for something more trivial than exploiting her children.
Do we believe we're supporting the Gosslin kids by trashing their mother?
&&&&&&&
I think the sheeple support Kate, not the kids. In any case, what some people call trashing, others calling holding someone's feet to the fire. Was all the negativity about Bush toward the end of his term "trashing" to you? Was it right for people to make fun of his looks and stupidity? Or was it really about people very upset and frustrated that men were dying day after day for a war fewer and fewer people saw as necessary and that was becoming clearer was based on total lies, the more men that died? It is not trashing when you are mad at someone for their choices. People are upset at the choices Kate has made and are holding her feet to the fire. Call it what you like.
There have been some comments about her looks. Those comments are sporadic. Not everyone cares about her looks or her clothes or what have you. Not everyone chooses to comment on this aspect of her, some do. Me personally I don't care about fashion, hair, makeup, and shoes, and I rarely comment on her appearance. Go back and look--you will not see very many of my comments. Other people also don't comment on it. Not everyone is interested. Again, don't generalize.
There are some psycho sheeple out there, I saw a disturbing Twitter account with photos of a "can of whoop-ass" directed at Jon, I find that frightening, but I don't lump them all together in one group. I think there is a group of people who genuinely believe this is not harming the kids and that is their right. I would not call them all crazy just as people who do not support Kate should not all be accused of needlessly ragging on her.
Had these parents not chosen to pimp their children to every pervert who can you tube, there would be no "disturbing" people to worry about.

Years ago Mad Magazine was a brilliantly funny magazine. When did they turn into a POS gossip rag? They sure know how to generate the hits, though, don't they?
***********************************************
You are 100% correct, Skeptical. Mad was a brilliant magazine!
What I meant to say is that Radaronline is basically a farce- no real journalism involved.
JMO, I think all these Gosselin/Kreider people, family members, girlfriends, boyfriends, should just all just STFU already, stop tweeting, giving interviews, and just go away so these kids can salvage some sort of semblance of normalcy and childhood. As far as I'm concerned, Jon is as bad as Kate, he won't just go away and get out of the limelight either, and his girlfriend (if that's who's REALLY tweeting) needs to just mind her own business, if the kids' welfare is so important then get a good attorney to represent them in court. Scuse the rant, just getting sick of all the finger pointing from ALL sides.
Mark my words, this is just more spin and free publicity for TLC and Kate's latest escapade at a tv series. The "stuff" always hits the fan before an event involving Kate, whether it's a magazine cover, a new series or her appearance on a series or a new season of Kate plus 8. That is the way it works with TLC. They plant these stories in the tabloids to drum up viewers for whatever project they decide to put Kate in.
Ha! BS meter... Man the lifeboats!! WtG Admin!
@Pink - Whenever I read anything from ROL I picture a bunch of journalism college dropouts sitting around with their feet up on a desk, stuffing their faces with Big Macs, laptops on their legs - writing junk stories just to stay on the payroll. Purina could market it as SheepleChow.

I agree with you. This is usually how it works. But, this time, the planted and totally bogus stories are lame, lame, lame. They are trying to make something out of nothing. If this is an attempt to keep Take Greedslin relevant, then TLC is doing a crappy job. I think it's time for Buh-bye, Kate.

Auntie, I don't think they even got to college. These are high school drop-outs who took a few online writing courses, and slap their stories together AT a McDonalds that has free wireless internet. Bet if you look at their laptops, there are pieces of sesame seed bun and special sauce in between the keys.
By the way, isn't Kate still under contract with Zondervan to write another NY Times best-seller?
LOL...I just saw the BS meter.
Good call Admin!

I'll bet the boys over at Zondervan hope that's one contract she doesn't fulfill. I see Amazon has IJWYTK listed at "40 used from $0.06." Ouch.
AuntieAnn, who can pass up that deal for her book?? Oh, I know...ME!!
This whole thing with Jon's dad sucks. Those poor kids. They will see all of this someday. The back & forth & in between. I know Jon's trying, but him & Kate started all of this. If they hadn't put the kids on TV in the 1st place, NONE of this would be happening right now. Whose to say Mady & Cara haven't seen some of this internet crap already? We have a block on our internet, but my son (he's 10) can surf the web. Who is to say that Mady hasn't seen some of the hate sites devoted to her? She knows she's famous, (or infamous) she could easily Google her name. Poor kids. End it now!!!
Today is a good day!

With respect, Hippie Chick, it really doesn't matter how the nightmare got started for the kids or who is responsible, IMO. What matters is that Jon is now trying to make amends by doing what he can to stop the craziness and to help his kids reclaim a normal life.
What is the point of continuing to blame Jon for what he now realizes was a bad mistake? Kate is the one who refuses to allow the children to have the peace and privacy they need.We need to focus our efforts on supporting whoever is trying to keep the kids off TV.
I agree that it needs to be ended now.
The following was brought to my attention; it was posted in the comment section on Kate's Take on TLC:
Kate, please contact me.
I've sent emails and called those I know who could help, but I really need to discuss something with you.
We can stomp out the cyber bullies if we work as a team.
My site and myself have been a victim of very similar problems to you.
I run the number one fan site on the web with over 600 followers. Stop by or send me an email.
Posted by: Baby Mama | 10/22/2010 at 12:02 AM
Wow Mickey! If that really is BabyMama, then no wonder Kate needs a bodyguard. BM should be contacting Kate's PR team/agent. I highly doubt Kate gives BM the time of day evidenced by BM's resorting to Kate's fake blog as a way of communication.
Cyber bullies or free speech? Cyber bullies or calling out a child exploiter?
There is a huge difference between discuss a public figures choices, and going after a private person. Which is what Kate fans do, they make it VERY personal. There are far more trolls who try to derail things here than those that go over to the fan sites. I don't understand why we're capable of just letting the fan sites be, but they can't stand to just let us be. They talk about us all day long and craft plots to stop us all day long, it's crazy.
I'm sure Kate can take care of herself and if she wants help from the fans I'm sure she will contact them. However the only thing I've heard from Kate about the fans is that they are "over-zealous" and bother her when she's out with her kids such as in NYC. I don't feel a lot of love from her toward the fans. What I find telling is she never talked about how people who don't like her bother her. It's always the fans.
Cyber bullying? You should see some of the comments I have gotten toward me that I've deleted. But I'm a big girl and like Kate I can take care of myself. If I need help I am capable of asking for it.
I do have to point out though in defense of Baby Mama, if this is possible, as far as I can tell I have no evidence she has ever tried to distrupt things here. I don't think she trolls over here like I know some people from some other sites do. And of course I've never trolled over there. Frankly I'm not even sure which site is hers now, I don't visit other Gosselin blogs, pro or con.
In a strange way I kind of respect her for that. She has her opinion on this and I have mine, and we can coexist without bullying each other.

I had read somewhere that Kate was "writing" a book on how the divorce has affected her even though she is the one who pushed for it. Bitch. Kate is a lying con artist.
I agree IDModo. I do. And I give Jon big props for trying to end this. Kate is the one who is still trying to continue this madness, but if it hadn't happened in the first place...they were BOTH green & saw dollar signs. Jon realizes his mistakes, sure, but aren't they both to blame really for the whole start of the thing? Trust me when I say however, I blame Kate fully for the continuation of exploiting those kids. She's not green anymore, but she is still seeing those dollar signs. When is enough enough? It's sad. That's all her kids are to her.
She's not green anymore, but she is still seeing those dollar signs.
______________________
I think she is green. Green with envy. She knows her 15 minutes are up, but she wants so bad to be a celebrity living in Hollywood. She's jealous that she doesn't have any talent like acting, dancing, singing, etc. She's like the Hulk---once she gets angry, she turns into a raging monster.
As a follow-up to my earlier post:
Today is a good day!
http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/102821244.html
Everyone should note that Ellen Gray wrote this article "Is Kate Gosselin stealing childhood from her brood of 8" in September, a MONTH before Jon sent out his first tweet which confirms this article :)
This whole Gosselin mess is most definitely winding down.
What is so weird is that alot of sites have mentioned Karts nanny quitting but ROL. Guess they really are on her payroll!

*************************
Boymom, I totally agree with you! Yesterday I saw Kelly Rippa (sp?) on one of her commercials for Electrolux appliances in which she does "mom" things. If Kate had turned out to be a mom most women could admire, she could have been a spokesperson for all kinds of products - appliances, mini-vans, laundry detergent, the list is extensive. Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs is on a couple of commercials just being himself. Kate's so pathetic - her narcissism is going to be the undoing of her.

Kate tried this a couple of years ago right after they hired the public relations firm. She did a couple minor internet promos for (I really don't remember what it was now) and she flopped I think, because she wasn't relatable.

~~~~
She does troll here, as do her regular followers. You are "the Bloggin' Lawyer" or "the BL" over there (at Baby Mama's place). They've taken Ellen to great task for posting here, and it rankled them that Ellen reached out to you. They say Ellen should never be associated with a blog that calls the children's mother names, or some such nonsense. They've called down Schmecky for posting here and are always refuting the pro-Jon posts and as well as those here that can still receive his tweets. (For what that's worth, and it really ain't worth much!)
There's a difference between lurking here and trolling here.
Anyone is free to lurk, that's their right. Trolling is when people post anonymous comments trying to bully and distrupt. There really is not proof that BabyMama has ever been one to post said anonymous comments. Unless she has admitted that she has posted here, there's no evidence she has.
In any case, what I can't see doesn't hurt me. I don't care what they say as I never read it.

I also agree. If she had not been so damn unlikeable, it would have been a pleasure to watch her on t.v. (without the kids, of course).
But alas, she is Katie Irene...

Kate can't pull it off because she is ITLESS. Kelly has IT.
Kelly has worked her way up the entertainment ladder to get where she is today. I remember watching a show called Dance Party USA and there was Kelly Ripa dancing herself silly. Kelly has worked hard and it has paid off.
I was surprised that Kate's bid to be a "mom" spokesperson never panned out. She was tried by Kmart, the clothing company (Health-Tex?), the furniture company that donated furniture for the new house, and really, by all the products like Juicy Juice that were product placements in the show.
Those are a LOT of opportunities squandered and I think it says a lot about how unlikeable she is to the majority of viewers/public that not one of them ever became something sustainable for her.
I did read BM's Tweet. She did say a few times that people pretend to post as her to put the quotes on other sites and she did not write that. I think it's very easy now for people to write whatever they want and get away with it. Sad really.
And I would like to also mention sine I read both the pro & the con Gosselin sites. I think people like to cause a bit of trouble by making comments saying your site is attacked. BM from what I have seen has never said a negative thing about this site personally. Ellen on the other hand is always brought up, and I don't know how I feel about that either. I just find it interesting that the views are so incredibly strong on both sides.
Sites can co-exist and have their own strong views. I like and choose both and that is my right. But sometimes you need to take comments for what they are, and sometimes stick up for the enemy so to speak if you feel that there isn't warrant for the attack. Still love this site!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Exactly. I have never heard this BM person ever taking a personal jab at me. I have absolutely no problem with other sites out there as long as the debate is about the issues, not the people. After hearing her radio interview, all I have to say about her is that I disagree on many of her views. But she actually sounds like a nice enough person, if not a little giggly and nervous. Imitating her is wrong if that is what is happening and if anyone here did that I would implore them to knock it off. She has a right to agree with Kate just as we have a right to disagree.
I would be lying if I didn't admit it is irritating to know there are sites out there that seem to exist solely to try to bring down sites like this. I agree with Lisa, we can have our opinion and they can have theirs and we can co-exist without engaging in pettiness and below the belt attacks. If TLC has a problem with our sites they are welcome to take it up with us (oh wait they did and failed, so that settles that.) That is why I made the rule NO TRASH TALKING other blogs.

Fortunately we live in a country where we can all discuss our differences & beliefs without going to jail or worse.

She passed up the possibility of many other sustainable entertainment options in order to focus all of her energies on the rude-diva persona that she thinks is sooo clever.
I still dont think she has given up on that yet. It's just not going to happen in area she currently lives.

The Gossip Girls is(are) reporting that Kate has lost another nanny. Another nanny has quit because Kate drove her "insane". She says Kate has gone eleven nannies and tons of helpers in the last few years.
My take on it is this...
Kate has been conspicuously absent lately. So who crawls out of the woodwork? None other than Hailey Glassman and Kate 2.0 Major. I'm just waiting for Stephanie Santaro to pop her head up too.
I think Kate 2.0 and Hailey are being paid to trash Jon. Isn't it awfully convenient that they are in the right place at the exact right time to give their comments to Radaronline. It's not a coincidence.
If Kate Gosselin trashed Jon again it would be a public relations nightmare and generate more negative press. Remember when she trashed Jon on R&K - Kate received tons of negative press from that. I think if she pulled a stunt like again she would be completely done.
A bullshit meter would sure look good over any ROL article link you post here, Admin.
