While cashing $50,000 checks and amassing $35,000 in freebies, Jon and Kate were still collecting 'love offerings' from churches

The Gosselins collecting love offerings and selling photos at a church speaking engagement
in PA, just 10 days before quietly signing an endorsement deal worth $60,000.

It's always been pretty obvious that long after they became very wealthy, Jon and Kate continued to unethically portray a couple with their hands full just struggling to get by. Just how much money was taken from innocent church goers and other people under the mistaken impression they needed their money just to eat and pay the bills may never be known. Today however, former US Weekly reporter  Robert Hoffman, who was assigned to the Gosselin beat for two years and has stated is a friend of Jon's, posted a revealing contract on his web site.
The contract with Lane furniture is dated September 23, 2008, and includes some of the following interesting information: 
  • The couple were paid $30,000 in cash and $30,000 in furniture, for a total of $60,000.
  • Lane was responsible for all the taxes that Jon and Kate would owe as a result of this exchange
  • Jon and Kate were to have final approval of the promotional video they were to shoot for Lane
A second contract dated November 14, 2008 provided for $20,000 payment in cash and $5,000 worth of Samsung electronics.
Around about this time, the Gosselins had several speaking engagements lined up, many at churches. (What appears to be a complete list can be found here.) One such example is Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Abington, located just down the road near Philadelphia. While they have removed any reference to the Gosselins from their web site, another Gosselin blog saved the information they posted: 
September 14, 2008
Jon and Kate Plus 8 Registration
We are excited to be hosting the cast of "Jon and Kate Plus 8" on Sunday, September 14 at 10:00 am. Completing the requested information below will pre-register you for this event. We are asking only those within a 15 mile radius of the church to pre-register and attend, as there is limited seating available. Thank you for understanding. This event is free, but please come prepared to give in a love offering toward the Gosselin’s. Due to the increased response for this event, we have rented Keswick Theatre, a local production theatre around the corner from the church in Glenside, Pa. This will provide much more seating. Children will be included in the service, sitting with their parents. Don’t worry, the service will be a fast paced, multi-media experience that will keep your kids’ attention.
We look forward to meeting you soon!

In addition, a fan posted a lengthy account of her encounter with Jon and Kate in Abington, reposted on a fan blog, which includes in part this: 

"We sat in the center of the theater, row G, so we were pretty close. I had a perfect view. We sang 2 worship songs. Then the pastor came out and talked about the church. We had to sit through a long video about the church. Then they had a raffle. The pastor then explained that there would be two offerings: one for the church to pay off their rent of the theater, and another for Jon and Kate.

Finally, he introduced Jon and Kate...  I'm going to be honest, they looked miserable at first. Kind of like they didn't want to be there. They didn't really smile or make eye contact with the crowd. I think they were more annoyed at the fact that everyone was cheering and screaming and clapping and they just see themselves as a "normal" family. At least that is what it seemed like to me. The interview started and they lighted up I guess you could say. ... 

Kate also does some kind of "online devotional" once a week. Since vrigg wanted to know more about their faith, I'll go into that a little bit more. Apparently there was this lady who had terminal ovarian cancer, who was Kate's age. Her last dying wish was to meet Kate and talk to her. (This was in March). So Jon and Kate went to visit her in the hospital, where Kate helped her accept God and death. She passed away shortly after that. The grandmother called Kate to tell her the woman's son was diagnosed with pediatric cancer, completely non related. He passed away this summer. Kate still keeps in touch with this family. I think this is why her charity of choice is pediatric cancer. They said it was things like these, bringing people closer to God, is what keeps them going. It was truly inspirational. I had no idea that the Gosselins were this spiritual. Jon mentioned prayer (praying TO God, not AT God) and having a relationship with Him. 

....Following the interview, the pastor asked us to be gracious with our love offerings for Jon and Kate for their being here, and something about the kids' babysitter. There was NO mention of any such college funds! I repeat! NO MENTION OF ANY COLLEGE FUND. The pastor said the money goes directly to the Gosselins. They set up the table and chair for Jon and Kate to greet and sign autographs on the photos. The photos were $20 each (I think Luna said it was $10 for one kid, or $20 for the whole family) but here it was $20 for the same picture. 

No, we did not purchase a picture, and no, we did not give a love offering. We did however, wait in line because I just wanted to see them up close (moreso Jon [[wink]] ). I made eye contact with Kate. Everyone was standing there gawking at them and snapping pictures as they were signing autographs. Then the security guards instructed them to not use their flash because it is distracting. We were allowed to take pictures though." 


Before grifting from blue collar church folk or anyone, is there a moral and ethical obligation to disclose just how well off you are doing financially? We certainly think so.

Ex Nurse said... 1

What's Next--
Thanks for your concern. I've tried every mask out there--they give me migraines and chronic sinus infections. I move around a lot during sleep, and I was getting tangled up in the tubing and yanking it off in my sleep. I have tried many masks, but I always end up with migraines and sinus infections.

I was diagnosed ten years ago, and in 2003 I had several surgeries which have reduced the episodes of apnea, So, my biggest issue is lousy sleep architecture, meaning that I don't get enough hours of restorative, deep sleep. The negative effects of wearing the mask outweighed the benefits because I woke up with a headache every day. Losing some weight, elevating the head of my bed and adding some pillows has helped a lot. I am planning on trying a dental appliance--I have to have some preliminary work done.

The conversation we were having was about insomnia, not sleep apnea. So, to be clear, I am not taking glycine to treat apnea, I take it to address the lousy quality of the majority of my sleep hours and to get off of a prescription medication that does have serious side effects. . My sleep doctor is aware of my intolerance and agreed that CPAP is not an option for me and he supports alternative treatments .

On hindsight, I wish I hadn't brought up apnea because I was not prepared to address all of this. If anyone here is experiencing sleep-related issues, I recommend discussing it with your doctor. Many people can be helped with simple surgical treatment and CPAP.

There are credible studies that support the use of glycine for the purpose of treating insomnia, and I answere a poster's question as a fellow insomniac, not as a nurse.

What's next--thank you for bringing it to my attention.

TLC Stinks the only problem is according to case law Pennsylvania doesn't allow you to make "deals."

Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 196

They could have made a deal but it would have to be court approved and in the best interest of the children, according to PA law.

===========================

Okay. Now I'm really confused. Can they make a deal or can't they? Wouldn't they both be able to come to an agreement, go through the court system with it, and have it approved? I've seen this done in a few cases.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said... 4

How is that fraud? He pays you child support and you give him money. Is a law that prohibits an ex-wife from giving money to her ex-husband?

&&&

It's fraud because PA requires you to support your children. Paying the money and having mom pay you right back is creating a complete farce out of a court order. No different than Dad not paying at all and going to jail.

As far as Jon speaking out, I understand the need to correct the record but at the same time all that will do is continue this on and on. They both need to stop, right here right now. Including your attorney, Kate. I'm surprised an attorney experienced in family law wouldn't appreciate how detrimental it is to continue such a feud publicly. ENOUGH.

Girl From Up North said... 5

It sounds like Jon's custody time has been increased to 50/50. Support would be therefore, reduced accordingly. He may still be required to split expenses with Kate, such as tuition, camp fees (if there were any), dental bills, etc. In Ontario, a a parent cannot sign away the rights of the child.

Semantics.....

Okay. Now I'm really confused. Can they make a deal or can't they? Wouldn't they both be able to come to an agreement, go through the court system with it, and have it approved? I've seen this done in a few cases.

&&&

Well yes. They can make a deal but it would have to be a deal that is fair to the children and court approved. So the implication from the sheeple that poor Kate now has to support the children on her own is total malarky. A judge wouldn't approve a deal that isn't in their best interest.

Virginia said... 7

In the picture from the post, this is obviously before Khate got her "good bra"!

Kate is a twit said... 8

Just because you're not paying child support, doesn't mean you're not supporting your children in other ways. My ex stopped paying child support when my child turned 18-however he was responsible for paying a certain amount towards her college tuition. She was also covered on his health insurance because his plan covered her while a student until she was 26, whereas mine only covered her until she was 22. (She was 24 when she graduated college).

As other people have said, he may not be paying "child support"(monthly payments)per se, but is paying funds directly to the school for their tuition, or paying other expenses.

There's a whole lot more to this story that we probably will never know.

re: Kate's nasty quip about Pam Anderson being the only contestant "not a finalist." Did she ignore the fact that Pam toured with one of the DWTS traveling troupe? KaTE AND Pam were not BFF. Pam depended upon ability and hard work. Kate stated that she would charm them [the judge?

************************************************

Misery (Kate) want company.

Maybe Kate will ingratiate herself if she would
just admit that she's sucks at dancing, and sucks at taking direction from teachers.


***I'm directing the following at Kate (if you happen to be reading here)***

Valuable life lesson learned:

Sometimes dreaming all your life about doing something (ie, dancing, acting, writing, singing etc...) is not enough. You have to WORK YOUR TAIL OFF FOR YEARS, practicing your craft. It's never handed to anyone on a silver platter. Just asking for something to drop on your lap (bucket list) is terribly unrealistic, and very unfair to your young children.

Time for you to put on your big girl britches, and start applying for jobs locally.

AND... time for you to shake off your "yes" people/enablers that hover around you (including your fanatic sheep). Giving false hope is cruel, and a waste of time to a person with a huge family to feed, cloth, and is expected to keep a roof over their heads.
Help Wanted ads, realistic job recommendations, or successful employment tips would be of better use to you. Not the constant ego stroking
you love to receive- USELESS.

Otherwise, you are wasting time that you will NEVER, EVER get back.

WAKE UP.

Wowser said... 10

I think this is Kate and Jon's "hail Mary" as they plummet into the land of "who?"....their pattern has always been one to grift whatever materialistic, monetary thing they could with the "life is so hard...please feed my babies" angle that it's all they know. They remind me of the people who stand with signs on the highway that say "unemployed...please help" looking for someone to throw cash at them before the light changes. I used to feel really bad and believe them until I saw a 60 minutes segment that showed the scam artists that do this and the mansions they live in. Kate and Jon are from that same club!

Ex- Nurse:

I took your suggestion that way, as one insomniac to another, although we both have nursing backgrounds. I read upon it, and decided to give it a try ( from Amazon!) Last night I tried a stick for the first time, and I fell asleep more quickly than usual, and only woke up briefly twice. A good night for me! While I don't expect magic, I am encouraged.

I hope you find something for your sleep apnea that does the trick.

Again, thank you!

This Blog is crazy... and, more often than not- hysterical! I had no idea Kate was gloating once again, about the brown leather couch on the recent CC post. (I told you, I can't bear to read her Blogs/Tweets!) Anyway, I mentioned it must have been a grift from the Lane Furnishings secret deal. Pammy & Katie lunched once with that creepy Jake Pavelka (The Bachelor) during DWTS, Season 10. Media was all over Pam to badmouth Kate, but she was a class act, and handled it well.

Moving on-- NEW THEORY:

If Kate let Jon off the hook regarding future child support, then I say "good for her"! By doing so, she finally admits that she does in fact have enough money to raise them in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed, and her poor-mouth tour was one big lie. Thus, her sheeple were suckered again!

TLC stinks said... 17

Maybe no monthly court mandated CS, but I agree with Admin he is paying some type of support directly that benefits the kids. I would bet, though, that this all came about because Kate wanted him to back off about the kids not filming (you know the ol' saying, "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours"). I hope I am wrong but Jon does seem to have had a change of heart since April regarding the kids filming. And I do recall either reading or hearing him say that he hopes Kate is successful because that is good for his kids.

How does this confirm it? We don't know if the ROL stories are true; we don't know if Jon is paying the kids directly, and we don't know, as you said, that all of this is to keep Kate relevant and in the media? I don't buy the conspiracy story -- that Jon agreed to have all of this publicized just so her name is out there once again. It does nothing except to make HIM look bad, that he's behind in child support when, in fact, he may not be paying any at all. Why would he want to make that public?

They are trying to garner sympathy and attention for Kate to get her back in the public eye and possibly a show. They both want the kids to maintain their current lifestyle and home. It's a win win for them both. They have no shame. They will use whatever means necessary as they have in the past.

*************

No, you're a pretentious snob for talking about how the "ladies in your 'hood" would be "discussing" someone of Kate's ilk. Nothing more obnoxious than the "ladies who lunch" crowd talking about all those "beneath" them. You said what you meant, so own it rather than trying to rationalize.

And for the record, I also find Kate's references to her "leather" couch obnoxious and agree that much of the content of her blog posts is inappropriate. That doesn't mean I can't find your post even more obnoxious. There's nothing worse than the "new money" vs. "old money" snobbery. Being from "old money" doesn't give you class, it simply means you were lucky enough to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth and did not earn your $. At least some of those "crass" new money folk actually worked for their $.

Kate is a twit said... 25

Just like Kate, her lawyer words her statements very carefully. She said that Jon is no longer responsible for paying child support, however, she doesn't say what he is responsible for. Thus, she makes it look like Jon has no responsibility at all to support the children.

Jon's talk about child support could be referring to payments that are in arrears. Kate's lawyer states that he is paying a "small amount that is on arrears". Maybe to her it is a small amount, but maybe to Jon it's not.

I still think Jon should have just kept his mouth shut, no matter what the case may be.

Also, it just occured to me that after cashing a $50,000 check from Lane and getting $35,000 in freebies, Kate had the unmitigated gall to sign on with Kmart and pretend to be a Christmas layaway using mom on a budget.

She could not have been a more unenthusiastic spokesperson for Kmart if she tried. Wonder how much she made for looking like she was swallowing unsweetend Kool-Aid powder whenever Kmart was mentioned?

I do not know if Jon gave an interview to Star or not, but if he did, he doesn't care what people think because he comes off whiney. There is no logic as to why he would give them an interview to bitch about Kate unless it was to put her name out there and get people talking. It has succeeded. Jon understands marketing better than you think. If Star published a bunch of lies, then he should not be silent. Where's his integrity?

Right after they moved into the konpound, Kate became a spokeswoman for Kmart when they brought back Christmas layaway that year.

It was sooo apparent this was so beneath her and she was terrible.

When the family went to St Jude's (where Kate passed out copies of her book to 7 year olds and compared their pediatric cancer to her 71 weeks of bedrest) they first went to Kmart to get presents for them. Giving back- Gosselin style. Getting paid to be on TV to give out donated gifts. Yayyy!

################################

That's what doesn't make any sense.

If this was one of those "a source close to Jon" type of articles that would mean it was all a bunch of fabrications Radar made up on a slow news day. The "exclusive from Jon" means they had some contact with him. Why would he do this?

I'm glad to hear he's still working, but it does seem he & Kate are both following the "pity me" formula for trying to worm back into the limelight. Kate: I have eight kids to support and I'm struggling. I know my dream entertainment job will come along (wink wink)

Jon: I'm going to get thrown in jail if I don't pay my child support. {I'm open to all offers of hosting, entertainment gigs}

There used to be a fabulous poster here named "hard to keep loving Jon." Never was this more appropriate. I know he means well and he definitely has a conscience and a soul, which his ex does not. But he keeps saying one thing, then saying another, then the opposite, then back to the first thing, then another thing altogether.

LaLaLandNoMore said... 46

Both Jon and Kate enjoyed the "new money" status they achieved via TLC. The label "greedy grifters" applies to both. If someone was not feeding the monstor, they would live their lives without appearing on any of the celebrity sites/magazines. They would live quietly with dignity and go about the business of rearing 8, yes, 8 children. The love of money/fame surely has a hold on them both. Sad for the children.

In the first place there is a BIG difference (at least in my part of the country) between jail and prison.

I handed out a great recipe last week for homemade dog biscuits that my Aussies love, and can be made for a fraction of the cost of the ones you get in the store. I'm owning that. But I'll share if anyone else here wants to try it.

Kate is a twit said... 55

When Jon was listed on Gameface's website, his contact info(email and phone#) were also listed. It's possible he was getting harassing calls and emails and/or calls non-related to Gameface.

That could be why his name and contact info was removed from the site. If a legitimate email or phone call is received now, it could then be directed to Jon to take care of. Just because his name isn't on the site, doesn't mean he doesn't work there.

Tucker's Mom said... 56

I hope Jon is still employed and agree Kate's lawyer is playing fast and loose with her wording. I just don't get why Jon would make such statements to Star. His children should never, ever know that he's being threatened with jail. Can you imagine the anxiety that a small child would feel? Their world has already been torn apart with the divorce and that's enough for anyone's plate for a lifetime.

SwingsandRoundabouts,

I'll have a go at it:

There once was a woman named Kate
Whose reality show didn't rate
TLC execs said "Buh, bye"
And she cried "why, oh why"
Didn't matter too little, too late

TLC stinks said... 142
KAT, I do think this theory still applies. Kate probably thought she was a shoe-in for DWTS and thus would get her dating show. Of course, the kids would get to meet her new man each week on TV. That would be the hook for fans to tune in and she knew she needed the kids involved, and any network interested would have insisted on that. I have no doubt that Jon and Kate worked out some agreement in June: he would not protest them filming, and Jon would get financial relief from CS.
------------------------------------------------
Take this "hook" a small step forward. What would differentiate the Katie Irene dating show would be how the selection of the winner (read loser) was made. Who better than to vote than the eight kiddies, along with cute little quotes and subtitles and mispronounced words. Kind of an Art Linkletter meets Bill Cosby meets Katie Irene type of show.

That's good, and it probably explains Jon's twitter silence. He's too busy WORKING to be involved in that rag crap.

I would not doubt that Kate's fanatics are responsible for this rumor- to deflect from the GOSSELIN BOOK release.

How long until the official release of your book? And will it be available for purchase through Amazon (Kindle)?

Kate is a Witch said... 67

I would bet money that custody is now split 50/50, which is why he doesn't pay child support (not because she decided to stop it out of the goodness of her heart--gag).

Which means, of course, that he IS supporting them--just as much as she is!!!

I must be mean, because I think it's somewhat amusing to watch the same four or five people fall all over some Z list nobody on twitter.

Hey when is the one year anniversary of being canceled? It's this month, right? And then when was the last airing of the show, November?

Tweet-le De Tweet-le DUMB--
Here you go!

Cheesy Dog Biscuits

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup cornmeal
1 ½ tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup butter (or margarine)
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten


Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Bring the beef broth to a boil in a saucepan or microwave.
Add in the butter and milk. Stir until the butter has melted, then remove from heat.
Whisk in the 2 eggs, then let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Combine dry ingredients and cheese in a large mixing bowl, then add the beef broth mixture. Thoroughly mix the ingredients into a stiff dough.
Working with about half the dough at a time, roll out to 1/4-inch thickness.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out treats, and place ½ inch apart on cookie sheets.
Place the cookie sheets in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Turn off the oven and leave the biscuits inside overnight. This makes them crunchy.
These can be refrigerated for up to a week.


My friend Mary (who has 13 kids and never complains about being exhausted) is bringing one for peanut butter treats next time. I'll share!

Who thought she was special and great
She bore eight off-spring
To make her look caring

Her children grew into numbness
So Kate lied and lied
Even sometimes cried
But she only reaped emptiness

In this story a lot gets lost
Friendship and goodwill are just tossed
While Kate may survive
Her kids may not thrive
For her greed they'll pay a great cost

What's next--Thanks...I took it as concern.

Once A Viewer, glad to hear your encouraging results.

Someone here said that Jon said that if the kids want to do a show....Is this correct? My kids got to have a voice in what flavor ice cream they wanted--not whether they could invite cameras into their home and give up the little bit of privacy that they have. Unless Jon is earning income and not paying anything, I really don't think he's at risk of going to jail. The state is well aware that being in jail will severely hamper his ability to pay child support. It doesn't make sense. Seriously, those two judgement-impaired losers deserve each other. They are too immature to be raising 8 children.

Since this child support issue has been made public, Jon really needs to step up and explain that he has more custody and that he is paying directly and that he is supporting the kids.

I totally agree with these comments. Jon has nothing to fear about Kate getting another show, so it doesn't bother him in the least to tell Kate that IF she gets another show, the kids can be filmed again.''

I'm of the view that custody is now 50/50 so what would be the point of child support. That makes more sense than Kate was nice enough to waive any further child support.

I told you all that Jon and Kate are working together. All of this just confirms it.
---------

Well, everyone is entitled to an opinion. On another Gosselin blog, some time back, there was a poster who predicted that Jon & Kate's divorce was just a trick by the two of them to boost ratings. Then when the divorce was final and Jon moved out, the same poster said Jon & Kate would reconcile, "to boost ratings." That didn't happen (neither the reconciliation or the hoped-for boost in ratings).

So you might be able to see why I don't believe Jon and Kate are working together on anything, much less some scheme to keep themselves in the public eye and garner some sort of reality tv pay-off. Kate would do almost anything to get back on TV, but I really think Jon is fine with being a "mediocre" former reality-TV star and does not want the limelight. I also believe that no matter how tough things get for him financially, he probably gives heartfelt thanks every night that he is no longer married to Kate.

See..the thing is....Kate has been so used to playing on people's sympathy...poor me..I have 8 kids and a purse full of bills and it has always worked...that's why she has been able to grift so much and get TLC and anyone willing to give her something for nothing in return. The problem is that high-powered attorney's don't have sympathy...they want LOTS of cash to represent her ass and Kate DOES NOT give that up except for her hair and hooker heels. I think she is realizing she has been exposed and people are not drinking the kool-aid anymore. I think Marty Singer gave it the college try but Kate is not willing to or can't pay him enough to stop the publishing of this book

NJGal51, in addition to the glycine you might want to google "sleep hygiene". Following these guidelines are supposed to help improve sleep, too.

An example: My sleep doctor told me if I am having difficulty falling asleep to not lay in bed trying to fall asleep for more than 30 mins. He recommended I try reading for a while until I feel drowsy. It works for me.

Mandy said... 141

Just when I thought I was finished with conspiracy theories, another one popped in my head! Is it possible that the kids did get a huge payoff from the TLC pedophile scandal, and that that money may be used for the care of the children (such as mortgage payments, food, tuition, clothing, etc.,), and that's why Kate let Jon off the hook? I can't think of a single reason why that wretched woman would let him out of his CS payments unless a fresh supply of big money came pouring in. If that would be true, it would leave more of her millions for hair frying, Wesson treatments, tacky nail jobs, wine, and trips with her boyfriend. Just a thought...

Another thing - if Jon is still employed, again I can't think of a single reason for him to leak that first story. It seems much more likely that Kate leaked them both to make him look bad. Maybe it's just a pre-emptive strike to lessen the blow of Gosselinbook.

About Kate's strange tweeting - yup, the jig is up!

Tucker's Mom said... 142

She is putting reality TV and dating in front of the kids who need to have their mother," he said.
That's rich, Jon. This from the guy who has never been without a lady/girl since the two of them split, who has been mingling the women and their kids on his custody time and who dangled his own Divorced Dads Club show in front of cameras while hanging out the the biggest douchebag dad on earth--Michael Lohan.
Leaving Kate that huge house was stupid too. They should have sold the damn thing and bought 2 mediocre houses which is easy to do in that area.
Instead, Jon's home situation is unstable and that's just not good for the kids. They really shouldn't have to feel like transients.
Again, where in the hell did all that money go?

gotyournumberKate said... 143

If Kate relieved Jon of his child support she got something out of it. I sort of all makes sense now why he went on tv and said she was such a good mother and that he would consider allowing the kids to film again. He was bought.

Wowser said... 144

I still think back in April when Kate thought DWTS and a new tv show were in the bag (all narcissists believe that there is NO WAY anyone would say "no") that she gave Jon 50/50 custody which stops monthly CS and THEN the Gosselinbook thing got going and she was SURE she could stop it because she has been UNTOUCHABLE from the beginning. I think she is now realizing that the book will happen and she is getting all of this tabloid crap going as a deflection. It's desperate for sure but I think Kate is already there. Just my theory.

I think that Jon now has 50/50 custody, and that is why he no longer has to pay child support, and Kate is once again lying, taking the credit for him no longer paying!

I still think back in April when Kate thought DWTS and a new tv show were in the bag (all narcissists believe that there is NO WAY anyone would say "no") that she gave Jon 50/50 custody which stops monthly CS and THEN the Gosselinbook thing got going and she was SURE she could stop it because she has been UNTOUCHABLE from the beginning. I think she is now realizing that the book will happen and she is getting all of this tabloid crap going as a deflection. It's desperate for sure but I think Kate is already there. Just my theory.

Kate thought she could do anything and get away with it without backlash she thought she was untouchable.

If this shows up twice I am sorry. Wasn't sure if I hit publish or not.

It took Jon over 2 years to live down his cheater,Ed Hardy wearing bad boy image. Now all of a sudden he looks like a big loser again. I don't believe any of it. Something just doesn't sit right with me. Admin has proof that he is still working and the second article Kate's lawyer says he is unemployed. Isn't she slandering his name if this is false information? I think Kate is behind all of this. Both days this week that she was talking about her paperwork she was doing the next day there is an article on ROL.

As far as her tweets go. To me they sound suicidal or defeated. It is like good bye cruel world. Look what I have had to endure. You won't have me to kick around anymore.

And as for Milo. I can't believe how she is trying to grift more free stuff for poor Kate. Although she has learned from the best.

Wowser said... 154

It doesn't matter how many accounts she has.. The one thing we know for sure is that the giant sucking noise that's been heard coming from the Kompound for the last year is not the pool pump filter...it's money that has been draining from those accounts because she hasn't had a job or brought money in for a year! As long as she stays in the kompounds it's only going to keep draining. At some point the well will run dry.

Layla said... 156

There's an interesting timeline going on when you put it all together. In March, the TLC contract ended, freeing Kate and the kids up to film. Of course, Jon was opposed to the kids working, but then at the end of April, Kate and Jon come to an agreement that frees Jon from paying child support. Perhaps in exchange for allowing the kids to be filmed? Interesting that right after that, Kate appears on the Today Show and announces that she wants a new show with the kids. Then the cruise is canceled, freeing Kate up to start a new show. No network bites, so then Jon does that People magazine interview, saying Kate is a great mom and the kids can film again. Just in case anyone didn't get the memo saying that the kids could be filmed again, perhaps? Kate must have been shocked that no networks came running when they found out the kids were available for filming. She let Jon off the hook, thinking that she could get a lot more money out of the kids by making them work.
There were a lot of questions about why she made the announcement that the kids could do a new show (on Today Show),why the cruise was really canceled, why Jon would do that People interview. It all makes sense now.

You could be right. I could be right. I have a hard time keeping up with the 2 of them anymore. One time their bashing each other, the next they are getting along. This was the first thought that popped into my mind when I saw she released him of child support payments. Kate doesn't do anything unless she either is paid for it or is forced to by a court of law. I agree the kids can't film without a show but as long as Kate thinks she will have no trouble from Jon if they do, she will be happy.

Anonymous said... 158

Interesting reading all the comments on the latest news. I have a thought which comes from way out in left field.

Does anyone think Kate's accountant might have advised her on the child support issue in order to reduce her income tax? I'm not sure how child support is handled in the U.S. but if she has to include the amount received from Jon in her income, it might be advantageous (tax wise) to make do without it particularly if the children are spending more time with Jon anyway.

Just a thought, maybe yes, maybe no.

Here's another thing that really bothers me about Jon's piece in Star. The piece alludes to Jon allowing the kids to film again if they want. Well, he knows first hand that the whole "playing in front of the camera" is bullshit.
They are working for the show, period. Sure, they play and travel, but the schedule can be grueling. Just think of the days of filming in NYC in 103 degree heat, from sun up to sun down. Those kids were exhausted and passed out until Kate smacked them awake. They won't sleep at night? Who cares! Let them sleep in the next morning. Oh, that's right, they can't because they have a filming schedule.
Jon also knows darn well that Kate will not hesitate to pull them out of school to film, film them whenever she has custody, take them away from whatever friends they have. We saw this rampant filming for Kate plus 8. It was insane!
I think we should send Jon some syrup for all his waffling. We're going to share the house so the kids don't have to leave. Not. My kids are out there for pedophiles so I don't want them to film. Not.
Jon is a good dad, but he has failed to lead his family, be the head of the family. He abdicated that to Kate a long time ago.

Well, three kissy tweets within 24 hours--that more than qualifies as a tradition in Kate's World.

Wouldn't it be great if Kate's version of being undone and hitting bottom is being kinder to her fans, Jon and her kids? It certainly sounds like she is experiencing some humility and humanity. Welcome to the human race, Kate! Let us know if you have any questions!

Layla--Ok, I get what you were saying --that the moneyed ladies that lunch would see through Kate in an instant--just like we do. I didn't mind your post, however it was meant. Kate is vulgar, gauche and tasteless, wherever you put her. I don't really get that she is trying to fit into the Junior League, DAR group that you are describing. I don't see her fitting in anywhere, actually.  She wants to fit into Hollywood, which doesn't really translate well in other areas. In LA, she would just be another Barbie wannabe--no one would give her a second look. Here in Seattle, there would be a lot of eye-rolling and under-the-breath comments. But, in a city where it is not uncommon to see unicycles, a guy in a pink gorilla suit napping in the park or someone in a superhero costume and cape, she would be the one that we would snark about.

NJGal51, good luck with the Glycine. Uh-oh, Admin, I hope this doesn't affect the late night conversations here--everyone will be drifting off to sleep. 

What's next-- I took a 6 week sleep hygiene class, and, there is a book out called "The Harvard Medical School Guide to A Good Night's Sleep" that is an up-to-date version of the 6 step  course I took. Really good information about sleep architecture and sleep disorders. .I just checked--no Glycine in the alternative treatment section. I think that the research is too new.

It is also entirely possible that CC is paying her more than one might think. She has brought significant name recognition to their site. I certainly never heard of it before and I have many coupon sites that deliver them to my email. At any rate, she is not hurting for money, because she socked it all away and hid it from Jon probably in the kids' accounts that she knew she could draw from at any time. I know it is really grating on her that they are not producing any income. We saw just how she felt about that during press day, telling Ellen they could get a ring when they got a job, and someone else that she was having to pay the kids' bills. She will never give up the fight. If she goes to court and lets Jon off the hook for CS, there will be an ulterior motive to her doing so, probably so that he can be home more to help with the kids which would work out great. I think it is getting to her as this is the first time she has ever really had to take care of those kids without all the help that TLC provided and I think continued to provide until March. I am sure she was still being paid until the actual contract ran out as well as PB. Jon should never trust her, though, and make sure any changes are done through the court. She can only forego the future payments not the past. She would have to give him the money to pay it off, which would work out, because she would get it right back. I don't want to see Jon destroyed. I loved the way he took care of those kids and how much the kids love him and need him.

Tucker's Mom said... 171

Kate was beaten, huh. I don't know if I believe that. I'd take some sort of corroboration from someone in the family, not her word. I know that's harsh, but the fact is Kate and Jon had her parents involved with the kids up and until the big fame hit. The twins stayed with them while Kate was in the hospital. Who would do this and risk their own child being abused?
Also, Jon was asked why the grandparents were not involved and he never so much as alluded to it having anything to do with Kate's childhood.
I'm skeptical. Maybe she received corporal punishment like she doles out to her own kids.

Buddy said... 172

Thanks Admin. for confirming that she has met Blankinship. She didn't admit to that herself in fact she indicated she didn't know who he was after Jon said that he had met him. Odd that she didn't make a lot of noise about the fact her children, at the very least their images, were available to him, courtesy of their parents.

I wonder, as another poster suggesed, if TLC convinced her ($$$$$$) and Jon to just let it go.

fidosmommy said... 178

Admin, thanks for that news about Jon. Like this Gosselinbook, I am going to wait and see how this pans out. I have always been Team Jon and Team Kids, which I think is the same team. He'd be a person I would like to know in real life, I think, and from where I stand I can understand why his children adore him.

If he disappoints me past the point of no return, I will also be eating crow, but for now, he's OK with me.

fidosmommy said... 179

IF, and I do mean IF, Kate was beaten as a child, that is all the more reason to get those kids to Jon's as much as possible. That circle does not break very easily. I sincerely hope this info is not true, both for Kate's sake and the sake of her children - and her parents.

I am glad that the 50/50 custody was correct. It's the simplest explanation that fits the facts.

I also give Jon props for not mentioning the 50/50 agreement in the interviews he's done recently.

Admin, any confirmation on the following (Yea or Nay):

a) Jon is still employed and drawing a regular salary.
b) Jon did not speak with Star magazine and by extension Radaronline.

I hope the answer to a) is Yes and b) That is correct.

Saddest part of all of this? The book will come out in time for the kids to return to school. What the twins and tups have to deal with will not be a normal fun, return to school, see their friends, but back to the Paps swarming around Kate, the gate, in town, etc. Never do K or J think of these kids, never. Now, they are all old enough to understand more about their parents and how dispised they are. How hard it is to sit on that leather brown sofa and just cry because your mother is either miserable or hoping for something she is wishing for to come true.

They K & J deserve what they get. They should both have walked away from the cameras and the media 2 yrs ago or more and just went under ground and lived normal lives. Kate is getting what she has dealt out and it is sad that the children will receive this horror of the book also.

Cannot wait until Reality TV is a thing of the past. Greed is what it is all about.

Huh? How is the book coming out an indication that the parents don't think about the kids? They are not selling the book. All that says is that the author's personal vendetta against Kate Gosselin outweighs any concern for the children. And that author is the subject of hero worship from many here who claim to care about the children, proving yet again that hatred for Kate trumps concern for the children every time.

Good point.

Pity Party said... 185

Sad but I think some of the the kids do like to be filmed, since they watch themselves on TV, over and over and over. She is always talking about watching the episodes and they watched when they went to nap before even in the old house.

Too bad she didn't take full advantage and have the kids learn more about the inner workings of the show, and how to be articulate instead of even now diving for the phone when they make a cute misnomer. Who wouldn't watch A. the professor or Al. the reptile lover on an educational show for kids maybe from a child's eye behind the scenes at a zoo. When I was at SD zoo all I could think of is I would love to be here at night when everyone is gone and hear the night sounds. Oh how the animals would change. Who wouldn't watch Collin do an educational special showing how things work from a kid's point of view. But, no, she sugared them up and set them on the sofa and told them to act silly and say something cute.

Or, Jon, you could put together an animated Gosselin adventure show and have the kids do voice overs. It could be a special. Hire a good writer and a good animator and shoot a pilot and shop it around.

It is obvious that the kids have to work, because neither parent is able to make enough money, otherwise, because this is the whole premise that the kids were born under, to make them rich. I am convinced of that. Not Jon as much as Kate but I think she had him convinced at first.

Jon, I think anyone here would pay good money, if you put together some story books about Gosselin adventures even if with a high dollar ghost writer, you would still make money. Who wouldn't watch Jon and Cara teach under-privileged kids to ski and snowboard, roller skate and skateboard. Maybe kids of single moms who didn't have a father figure to teach them such things. They could have an essay contest and pick a winner, and take them to Utah or right there in PA. It could be a special. I would give anything for that now. Jon do a show with the boys and teach them to change the oil, heck the tires, wash and clean a car, things that moms really can't teach kids. Or M. teach kids to make pillows and other things that she has learned to do on her own.

I guess what I am trying to say is that KT has always been dead set on dragging the kids around the country, treating them poorly, and there are so many other ways they could make money for their future as well as the coffers at home for both parents.

----------------
Child support is not considered taxable income for the parent receiving it nor can it be a tax deduction for the parent who pays. On the other hand, Alimony is taxable income and a deduction.

No matter who pays CC or who has custody, the parents still need to agree on who can take the kids as an exemption on their tax returns.

The stories about Jon are saying he ""rebukes Kate's upcoming work for her new show, which will see show her traveling across the United States looking for her perfect mate". Sounds like they are saying that the dating show is a done deal, but all the stories about the show say that it hasn't been picked up by a network. Which is it, then? Does she have an upcoming show, or not? Will the kids live with Jon for months if Kate gets a show?, and if so, will he go for full custody?
If Jon or Kate is involved somehow in this new story, it is a horrible thing to do to their kids. They are starting back to school soon, and it's very likely they'll be teased by their affluent schoolmates about their "poor "dad
They need to keep their finances out of the public domain. What other mother goes on national TV to cry about withdrawals from their bank accounts? She specifically said that Jon took "two hundred thirty of the two hundred thirty-one thousand dollars out of that account". She even shared their exact bank account balance??!! Why did she tell the world that the kids' father only pays enough in child support to cover their lunches? How humiliating for the kids! Whatever they are dealing with financially, it needs to be handled in private. This does not need to be in the news. The kids' peers do not need to know if their parents have financial problems. They are giving no thought whatsoever to the affect this will have on their children.

Those particular kids will work, one way or another unfortunately, because of who they are and the fact that their parents apparently cannot provide for them otherwise.

"they also claim that Kate is making a living by writing for parenting blogs, plural."

Well, she's taken over Coupon Cabin, so if you include that with blogs, then she does write for blogs (plural).

I had dinner tonight with a friend (male colleague) and a woman walked in who looked eerily like Kate. I did a double take. It wasn't her. I said something to my friend about Kate's possible new dating show. He looked at me, rolled his eyes and said, "You mean it would be a traveling circus of the Bachelorette?" Dead on...

"And that author is the subject of hero worship from many here who claim to care about the children, proving yet again that hatred for Kate trumps concern for the children every time."

+++++++++++++

I have yet to read a post here commenting that the author is to be worshiped as a hero, and I don't think that anyone here hates Kate. I have seen comments that many people hate the things that she does, but as for a personal hatred of Kate that trumps concern for the children -- nope, never, not buying it.

They need to keep their finances out of the public domain. What other mother goes on national TV to cry about withdrawals from their bank accounts? She specifically said that Jon took "two hundred thirty of the two hundred thirty-one thousand dollars out of that account". She even shared their exact bank account balance??!! Why did she tell the world that the kids' father only pays enough in child support to cover their lunches? How humiliating for the kids! Whatever they are dealing with financially, it needs to be handled in private. This does not need to be in the news. The kids' peers do not need to know if their parents have financial problems. They are giving no thought whatsoever to the affect this will have on their children.

I feel sorry for the kids sometimes I really do they will never have a normal life.

How can they when their all over the internet and their parents-(Mostly Kate)saying back things about each other all over the internet.

Just as I thought, custody is split 50/50, thus no need for CS payments either direction.

I hope her four dimwitted fans finally figure out that 50% custody means he's supporting them as much as ANY parent, NOT that she's doing everything on her own. She never has done everything on her own. Quite the opposite.

And since this has been going on since April, she sure has had a LOT of alone time, more than we even thought! I am glad the kids get to be with their dad so much, that's awesome. But wow, she's got a lot of me time on her hands. No wonder it was just her and the crickets the other night. Get used to that sound, Kate.

And once school starts, she'll be alone even more often.

It's been quite the eye-opening year for Kate, hasn't it?
