"She knows this lawsuit will go on for years and most likely neither Jon nor Robert has the funds to see it through to the end and they'll buckle and agree to settle." (160)
Jon and Robert most probably do not have the funds to successfully battle this in court. But maybe Robert's publishing compagny does. In fact, if I were Robert's publisher I'd almost be giddy right now. You cannot buy this kind of publicity.
I'm thinking along the lines of the book written by General Petraeus' mistress published just a short while after Petraeus had to resign.
Yes, I know, I'm comparing the head of the CIA with TFW. But still... Strickly "publishing wise", a suit like that, when a book about the plaintiff is all ready and set to hit the shelves must be a dream come true to any publishing house.
Statute of Limitation under Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) is 2 years from either the event or discovery of the damage.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
But they have this lumped together, along with ID theft, and the SOL in PA is four years for ID theft. However, the SOL in a CFAA, which is the invasion of privacy claim would fall under state law, and the statute of limitations is one year. The federal computer fraud claim has a two year statute of limitations.
So if they go by the SOL for the CFAA, she's out of luck if she knew about this in 2009.
Ooops! My bad... The Paula Broadwell book was published a few months before Petraeus had to resign, but, of course, it's sales were enormously boosted by the whole brouhaha...
What about residuals? Do reality tv participants get residuals? Is Jon entitled to them from Jon & Kate Plus 8? If so, maybe TFW is going after those assets.
Anybody know?
&&&&&&&
Generally there are no residuals for those involved in reality television shows. Whether or not her attorneys wrote them into the contract is anyone's guess.
Jon, Robert and the attorneys will now have to go through this complaint and mark "admitted" or "denied" to each point. It will be interesting to see what they do with #35, the "untrue" allegations.
====
Some of the stuff in that complaint reminds me of that scene in Rainman when Raymond made an entry in his journal:
"Number eighteen. In 1988, Charlie Babbitt squeezed and pulled and hurt my neck in 1988"
I think the new cover for Mr. Hoffman's book is brilliant. Visually, it's very effective.
The image is also an excellent representation of how this is all very much a chess game with 8 children as pawns and their privacy as collateral damage.
Whether Mr. Hoffman had intended to re-release the book and advertise said intent today becomes a moot point.
Kate filed the lawsuit first and that makes her look like the aggressor. The way it's played out is that Mr. Hoffman was merely making a defensive counter move.
As far as Kate filing the lawsuit, I have no legal knowledge whatsoever and can't speculate whether she has a case or not or how this could potentially play out.
What I'm pretty sure of though is that again Kate is most definitely putting herself before the well being of her children.
And, sadly, in the end, it will be the Gosselin children bearing the emotional brunt of this entire saga.
"5,000 is only what she's valued the computer at."
HAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHA. This statement alone would cause me to question the validity of any of her other claims.
Also, I might be missing something here, but 1) what does this suit have to do with custody arrangements, even if Jon were to be found guilty? If you are convicted of stealing a hard drive, you don't get to see your children anymore? and 2) how exactly does this suit engender interest in her cookbook?
She only got about 3 direct replies to this tweet (except the haterz:
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 49m On our last day of summer vacay, we're finishing our sch supply/uniform labeling, thx to @StuckOnYouTweet #organizationproductgeniuses
Sounds to me she is fishing for some paps to meet her at the school bus tomorrow.
It seems that she got wind of Robert's intention of re-releasing the book so she filed a lawsuit to try and stop it.
Thus the hastily written complaint?
she got all her testosterone supply and attention from men at work. All day, every day. That's what Kate got from Steve and perhaps to some extent, the crew.
I agree with this one. TFW was on camera pulling the "ain't I cute" stunt with the crew all the time. Not something you would do with a female crew (who would think, oh, gag me). \ That's something that you do with men. She was probably the only female on the set, I mean...the house, thus the ultra flirty behavior.
And we saw the same sort of vibe on Jon's personal videos from when they were first going together. That "ain't I cute" thing.
You know what would be a great ending scenario to this whole fiasco of TFWs? If it would go to court, the judge would throw it out, reprimand Kate and make her pay DAMAGES to Jon (and Robert) for trashing their reputation in the media.
Admin - I agree with your assessment of the complaint. It's sloppy work, looks like it was thrown together hastily with little proof-reading, and weak on its allegations. I would like to see Jon and/or Robert hire a competent attorney, who will rip the many holes in this complaint to shreds.
&&&&&&&
Dilworth Paxson, Harrisburg and Philly, for Jon and Robert, if they are reading here.
What about residuals? Do reality tv participants get residuals? Is Jon entitled to them from Jon & Kate Plus 8? If so, maybe TFW is going after those assets. ***** I'm not in the industry, but from what I've read in various online forums is that reality tv stars do not get residuals from re-runs of their shows. They are paid a flat rate per episode - and it might be a flat rate per family (as in the Gosselin's case), or flat rate per person (as in the case of the Jersey Shore group). If the show is successful, then the stars can renegotiate for a higher fee per episode. But I've never heard of residuals for a reality tv show.
OMG this is a riot. Call BV there are three Fox News anchors to go after! If TFW thought this lawsuit would bring her sympathy she needs to count how many times "spanker" is said. Oh, and the one woman noted how TFW used her own money to try and come up with a pilot because she is "desperate" to get back on tv!
Perez source has to be either Jon, Robert or PR hired by their attorneys. I think this is an indication what the response will be to Kate's complaint. Kate is counting on getting invites to TV shows, but guess what? So will Jon and Robert!
Even if there was a remote chance that Kate could get ''work'' for the kids, the chances of that now are slim and none.
She has now managed to make herself AND the kids unemployable for fear of lawsuits. I wonder if this will follow the kids into adulthood too. Any potential employer may not want to touch them out of fear of reprisal.
All I can see in the future for those poor children is lawsuits, embarrassment, and heartache.
Thank those of you who told me about the mouse over Robert's new cover said ''coming soon''. No matter how many times I tried, it doesn't show up for me, but at least I know what you all are talking about!
Long Time Reader....I remember reading that residuals were not in their contracts. I've no idea why they would be so unaware of residuals, because it seems to me that everyone would know to not sign any contract that didn't include some sort of residual payments.
Even if the law suit goes nowhere, the depositions will be 'out there'. Paula Deen's problems were because someone leaked the depositions! What would be revealed in TFMJG's depositions would make Paula's problems seem like a walk in the park!
Fox news did really hone in on Kate's corporal punishment and now the thousands of viewers watching know. The only book and author getting publicity is Robert.
Each count must abide by its statute of limitations. Looks like we're down to only one count TFW didn't completely blow the SOL on, and even that one she's cutting it so close she may have blown that too.
Remember that Seinfeld episode where Kramer keeps pronouncing SOL statue? Jerry gets so mad haha.
Auntie the Rainman reference is too funny. Squeezed and pulled and hurt my hard drive in 2009!
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 18 I guess it didn't occur to her all this has done is opened up a whole new audience to the child abuse stories from her own words. #thinkthingsthrough ******* I can't believe she wouldn't see this coming. That Fox piece was scathing and the reports of using The Spanker was hit on hard. Robert was quoted as saying she used it for everything and anything. In addition to now being exposed for her severely physically punishing the children, the anchors did not even try to to be "fair and balanced". They can't stand her and wonder why she won't go away.
Wait until The Stir gets a load of Kate's potty training entries. If seeing her plop a kid down on a potty and leave him there in the dark for 30 minutes wasn't enough, they will soon find out that the woman who wrote this whole touchy feely blog about potty training kids on their site actually beat her toddler for pooping after less than a week of potty training. Beat. Him.
I imagine Jon set up their home computer, e-mail accounts and all. So, it also figures that he helped Kate pick out passwords..that's how he knew what they are/were, not by hacking or stealing things.
DWTS Daddy! @EmeraldCityJazz 2m @A_Idol_Watch Kate Gosselin learned of the alleged "hacking" in 2009. Statute of Limitations? http://www.accesshollywood.com/kate-gosselin-profoundly-disturbed-over-allegations-jon-hacked-into-her-accounts_article_24282?__source=rss%7Clatest_news …

How could she have blown it by cutting it close? She filed before the deadline. What does it matter if she cut it close?
I guess it didn't occur to her all this has done is opened up a whole new audience to the child abuse stories from her own words.
==============
And that's the issue with her. SHE DOESN'T THINK. Before you leap gung ho into something like this, you have to weigh the pros and cons. What are the consequences...is this really worth it in the long run? What might come out, and how am I going to defend that? She's so fast on the trigger with the "can we sue," finds an attorney who wants the money and publicity, and just goes for it. I just am amazed that she has nobody to advise her, or if she does, she doesn't listen.
I was just looking at Robert's book cover, which is PERFECT BTW, and noticed something. Six of the pawns are reflecting the image of the 'Queen'. The two in the back aren't, however. I wonder if this is a subtle message? I mean since the reflections seem to go all around the Queen except for the two? Just thinking, perhaps even over-thinking things, but still, one has to wonder.
Because she may have known before she made that statement in October 2009 she knew. She just said that in October. She didn't specify the exact date she found out. Could have been September, August or earlier who knows. Hence why I said she may have blown it.
Berks Neighbor said... 25 I was just looking at Robert's book cover, which is PERFECT BTW, and noticed something. Six of the pawns are reflecting the image of the 'Queen'. ***** I noted that too.
Watchya gonna do when your publisher tells you your book is not getting enough preorders? You sue your ex husband for hacking into your computer. Perfect logic, right?
Millicent said... Third of all, anyone who does business with her gets burned somehow, and that's going to include this attorney, when she stiffs him on his fees. ====
ANYONE associated with her gets burned which will eventually include that BV character. McGibney may not take kindly to lying face down in the curb.
I'd like to see what happens when she tries to shake him off. That guy is cut from the same cloth as she is so that will make it interesting.
Here's a blast form the past. The interview with Merideth Viera. TFW's infamous 'Purse full of Bills". TFW admits to 11 joint accounts with Jon. TFW admits to taking/moving $100000 out of their joing account 'Before' Jon had moved any money because she was afraid Jon 'might move money out of the account'. TFW was told by her lawyers to put it back. TFW goes on a media blitz when Jon does the same thing (moves money out of the account). If Jon and TFW had 11 joint accounts, he should have been able to access them until they were dissolved and closed presumably when the divorce was finalized or around such time. I believe Jon was afraid TFW was going to hide all the liquid assets without him having anything. She's just that vindictive.
You know what would be a great ending scenario to this whole fiasco of TFWs? If it would go to court, the judge would throw it out, reprimand Kate and make her pay DAMAGES to Jon (and Robert) for trashing their reputation in the media.
(A girl can dream right?) ___________________
Hey Berks -
Can I add to your dream? It would be poetic justice to see:
TLC unleashing their crack team of lawyers to defend Jon and nip TFW's lawsuit in the bud just to avoid the discovery phase where all their dirty little secrets would come out.
HCI being the new publisher of Robert's book.
Robert's book being re-released and making the NYT bestseller list.
Jon and/or Robert being invited to make the talk show rounds.
OK. Dream over.
-------------------------
Kate is so consumed by rage and vengeance, and so desperate to become relevant, she is blind to all common sense and bounds of decency. She also can't see that she is being used. Her attorney was probably only too happy to take her (the kids') money to file this lawsuit, which is only making her look like an evil, vindictive shrew and stark raving mad. She has gone round the bend.
I've been thinking about both Jon and Robert dealing with TFMJG's lawsuit. Neither of them have any assets that she could claim IF (and that is a BIG if) she won. Jon said in his last interview that he has nothing, and is not afraid of her.
I keep hearing Janis singing ''Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose....''
I imagine Jon set up their home computer, e-mail accounts and all. So, it also figures that he helped Kate pick out passwords..that's how he knew what they are/were, not by hacking or stealing things. _________________________
Also, her complaint about "stolen" emails doesn't hold much water, either. Many of the emails as presented in Robert's book were sent to both Kate AND Jon, or Jon was CC'ed, or they were sent to info@sixgosselins.com, which Jon was entitled to access.
Gotta say that gosselinbook's new cover is much more interesting than the old cover.
The old one, you'd see TFW's screaming, ugly face, and think, yech!
This new cover is really enticing. It's one that I'd pick up to investigate, even if I didn't know what it was. It actually looks like it could be the cover to a really cool murder mystery.
First, I'm pretty sure that Kate's law team, which includes Randazza, would be fully aware of which SOL apply before filing the Complaint and making fools of themselves.
Second, I'm willing to bet prior to this getting to trial that most, if not all, of the "Does" will be dismissed from the case.
I was reading Kate's TL today, noticing the absence of many of the fans.You know, both the sheeple and the haters bait and often take things out of context, just to stir things up. I was checking on something I read there, and went to Kate's old tweets:
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 Got home w my 6..as we pulled into garage,they said in stereo in a monotone voice: You have now reached your destination like GPS! Ha, kids!
One of the non-fans had tweeted: xxxxxx @ashymama2 @FireyTopaz1 #Kateplusmy8 Reminds me -- why does Kate use GPS to get home from the bus stop? "Reached your destination" LIE!
I know Kate has a tendency to fib, to embellish, but she didn't say that she got home from the bus stop. She would have no reason to go to the bus stop before school starts. Why make up something that's not there? Moreover, my kids often say the "destination" thing, even if I don't use the GPS and we're just getting home from grocery shopping. It's what's they are used to hearing. I have mine set to the British accent (Nigel) so it's really funny to hear them imitate the GPS voice.
This antagonism between these two factions on her TL just needs to end. Kate is doing a fine job all by herself digging herself into a hole from which she's not going to get herself out. She doesn't need help from the "haters" on Twitter, and no amount fans glorifying this lawsuit with the "Go Kate" garbage is going to redeem her or help her in any way.
You know, I would like to go through every episode of the 'realest reality show' and show all the examples of abuse/exploitation/neglect to any judge. All the 'gates' for example.
Auntie the Rainman reference is too funny. Squeezed and pulled and hurt my hard drive in 2009! ========= Admin - I was reading quickly and you don't want to know how I read that sentence! #jerseygirlthroughanthrough
Attorneys file complaints all the time that blow SOLs, it's just usually that becomes part of the argument, when did it toll. They may have some convoluted argument why she hasn't blown it but that doesn't mean a judge will buy it. It breaks my heart the way the children are probably paying for all this, and for what? To prove a point against their own biological father.
How could she have blown it by cutting it close? She filed before the deadline. What does it matter if she cut it close?
________________ Because she may not have cut it close at all. It may be too late, depending on when she knew. If she knew back in April of 2009, but only commented on it in October of 2009, then the SOL has expired.
My take of this is simple. Kate believed Barbara Walters comment about Kate being a "star." Bad move on Kate's part. My dear husband said today, "the whole thing is the kids have lost their cute." Kate cannot handle the reality of the situation. This family had their 15 minutes of fame/tons of income. Should have saved it while you got it. Kate is angry about her own lack of a career on television. Anger and resentment on her part is behind all of this and Kate found an attorney who will gladly take the children's money. This lawsuit makes her look bad, very bad. We did not need a book to tell us about the secrets of Kate. She let out her true colors on the show, each and every program. Where are the "best friends" now? Where is the extended family? There are reasons for the disappearance of so many people.
MsGoody2Shoes21 @msgoody2shoes21 22m @ashymama2 @Kateplusmy8 Why does Jon want to hurt/humiliate the mother of his children? What does it serve? This is why Kate is suing him!
__________________ What? It would be interesting to get inside a sheep's brain for only a few minutes to try to figure out their thought process! I'd make sure, however, that the escape hatch is fully operational and I could get out of there in a matter of seconds.
How could she have blown it by cutting it close? She filed before the deadline. What does it matter if she cut it close? ***** I do not mean to speak for Admin, so this is my best guess response. It may be unclear as to when the activity leading to the cause of action was actually discovered. By cutting it close, could mean that further discovery as the lawsuit progresses could prove that the lawsuit wasn't filed prior to the running of that particular statute.
A complaint makes allegations. The discovery phase is where those allegations have to be supported by documented proof.
First, I'm pretty sure that Kate's law team, which includes Randazza, would be fully aware of which SOL apply before filing the Complaint and making fools of themselves.
_________________ Not necessarily, Pat. I've seen cases filed in which the SOL had long expired, but the attorneys thought they could pull the wool over the eyes of the judge and opposition. Sometimes it works, but if opposing counsel is sharp, they won't get away with it. Doesn't hurt to try, though.
Berks Neighbor said... 165 Anyways...carry on. This episode of Kate+Hate is brought to you by Quilted Northern. "Luxury you can see and feel".
lol ___________________________________________ It is hard to find an attorney to actually file a civil lawsuit to sue on your behalf, even if you have the money to do so. It is not as easy as it sounds.
However, it is not as hard to find an attorney to defend you, civil or criminal. The odds in vegas are on J&R this time.
The real Mrs. Gosselin. I pray for you and your grandchildren. How hard this has been on you and your life, and your heritage. Stay strong. No one will forget that your husband was a good man. It is not your fault. None of it. Nor the fault of the grandchildren. There is nothing you could have dome differently, looking back.
I've been thinking about both Jon and Robert dealing with TFMJG's lawsuit. Neither of them have any assets that she could claim IF (and that is a BIG if) she won. Jon said in his last interview that he has nothing, and is not afraid of her.
I keep hearing Janis singing ''Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose....'' ***** Remona, I thought of the phrase, "You can't get blood from a turnip." Jon made it very clear in that recent interview that he was not afraid of being sued, that he felt free, and that the most important thing to him is that his children have the freedom to be children.
He's been through the fire (or maybe a David v. Goliath reference would be more appropriate), and survived. Sounds like he has his priorities straight, and knows that Kate cannot take his own contentment with life, his own spirituality, whatever centers him - away from him at this point. He is free of her grip, once and for all.
Now his focus is on keeping his children from being made to work to support their lazy mother. Her lawsuit is not going to change a darn thing about that.
Why doesn't Kate just run an add in the papers telling everyone that her kids will be at the bus stop tomorrow morning? There is something so "off" about her. She just filed a lawsuit to take her ex husband and father of her kids down, and she's crapping rainbows on Twitter.
Can anyone answer a question I have? If this suit ever sees the inside of a court room do all of those confidentiality agreements go out the window. I always thought that when it comes to a court of law you can't use those as a reason not to testify truthfully.
********
Correct, CAs go out the window if the person has to testify in a court of law.
Millicent said: He's been through the fire (or maybe a David v. Goliath reference would be more appropriate), and survived. ------------------ This is it in a nutshell. Let TFW have her day in court if she wants it. No matter what happens Jon will still be Jon. He has nothing to lose, but TFW has EVERYTHING to lose (that she hasn't lost or thrown away already). What I found interesting in that interview with Meredith in Oct 2009, Meredith said that Jon wanted a 90 day 'stay' or pause in the procedings to work out and mediate the situation. She asked if TFW would consider it. TFW hemmed and hawed and made up an excuse. She didn't want to fix anything. She wanted to continue to play the put-upon victim. Jon was willing to work things out (and I believe more than once). Meredith even said Jon wanted to apologize. TFW refused to acknowledge it. TFW deserves every ounce of crap that has been flung at her through comments on a myriad of websites in the past two weeks as a result of her 'I'm a different person/where are they now' People interview and now with this SLAPP lawsuit. Karma is a B*tch.
MsGoody2Shoes21 @msgoody2shoes21 25m @EmeraldCityJazz @Allisstair BTW, Jon is a big ass liar. You don't see @Kateplusmy8 trying to conspire with anyone to destroy him
I found this interesting bit on a website regarding SLAPP suits:
" They succeed because most defendants don’t understand their First Amendment rights. They succeed because most defendants don’t know a First Amendment lawyer. They succeed because most defendants don’t have the money to fund a lawsuit. They succeed because many jurisdictions don’t have an effective anti-SLAPP statute. They succeed because many lawyers who care about the First Amendment aren’t in the position to do pro bono work, or worry that they don’t know the issues well enough or that it will take too much time. They succeed because the American legal system is, for the most part, set up to make it easy for plaintiffs to extort defendants without significant risk."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So here is in a nutshell what Jon and Robert are up against. PA has a very limited Anti-SLAPP law which does not apply to their circumstance. Randazza is noted as a First Amendment attorney but will file a SLAPP suit in a heartbeat. With high profile clients like Jon and Robert, I hope some big gun PA attorney takes their case pro bono to make an example of SLAPP abuse and the need to pass stricter anti-SLAPP law in PA.
The real Mrs. Gosselin. I pray for you and your grandchildren. How hard this has been on you and your life, and your heritage. Stay strong. No one will forget that your husband was a good man. It is not your fault. None of it. Nor the fault of the grandchildren. There is nothing you could have dome differently, looking back.

*******************************
OMG! Really?! The blatant hypocrisy astounds.
How can they not see it?
Kate didn't conspire with BV?
Kate didn't just file a lawsuit naming her ex as Defendant?
Kate didn't go on national t.v. claiming her ex stole money?
Kate didn't side with TLC when they sued her ex?
Kate didn't allow defamatory comments about her ex on her twitter timeline?
I was involved in a lawsuit in KY. As to SOL, the law there states "when you knew or should have known" that such and such event took place.
That "should have known" adds a new dimension to it, IMO.
So, if PA has the same wording, if TFW's lawyers are insisting that a hard drive was taken (and not just discs kept in the garage, tossed out) then TFW "should have known" within a week that her hard drive was gone. And that's when she should have called the police re: theft, letting them decide if it was actual theft or a husband taking what is his.
(b) Special provisions.--An action subject to section 8315 (relating to damages in actions for identity theft) must be commenced within four years of the date of the offense or four years from the date of the discovery of the identity theft by the plaintiff.
Then the date she discovered it will be crucial and something everyone will be fighting about, and if she doesn't have a reasonable explanation why she didn't discover it until after August 27, 2009, a judge may deem that not credible and kick the whole thing for an expired SOL.
I think this is one time Jon needs to fight fire with fire. He needs, or his attorney needs, to get out there too so Kate doesn't blanket the media with her side. It's just too late to be silent for the kids. Jon and Robert are fighting for everything and for once, I'd like to see Kate held accountable for her actions.
Well, if she did this to get attention, it's certainly worked. If you Google her name, it shows that hundreds of news organizations are reporting on the story. However, all this media attention still won't get her the TV show she so desperately wants.
It looks like she is really losing it. She has whipped herself into such a frenzy that she's not seeing straight. I think it's safe to say that nothing in her life is going the way she wants it to go. She was supposed to become rich and famous as a result of having those kids. She never considered the fact that the fame and the money wouldn't last. Now she's stuck in a small town in PA, divorced, alone, and unable to restart her "career". She has this image in her mind of herself in CA, living in a house like Kendra's, eternal sunshine, starring in movies and TV shows and basking in the glory of fame. But, of course, that's not her life. Who can she blame? It can't be her fault. It must be Jon's! He has ruined her life. It's just not possible that people got sick of her. It's not possible that she became known for her bad behavior. Oh, no, it's bad old Jon and his dastardly friend who are keeping her from the life she so richly deserves. She will skip into court, tell her sad story, and everything will go her way. Jon and Hoffman will be thrown in jail and she will finally be recognized as the most amazing-ish person on the planet. The red carpets will be rolled out, crowds will cheer for her wherever she goes, and she will be swamped with more show biz projects than she could ever sort through. Sure, that's what'll happen...
Just watched Access Hollywood and Kate's attorney Razzmatazz or whatever his name is said all Kate wants is for Jon to know that if he broke it he bought it. Now just what in the hell is he talking about. The man is surely no Marty Singer.

What in the world? What the hell does that mean?
So basically, he admits it's just about proving a point. Whatever crazy, delusional, non sensical point THAT IS.
For God sake she should sit down with him and do both individual and conjoint therapy to help her understand her, quite frankly, crazy and mentally unstable need to prove such ridiculous points to him.
What does she want really? Would an apology from him do it? Would a public statement admitting he broke it he bought it do it? What does she WANT???
I know there are some people here who have also worked with the mentally ill.
When asked things like what do you want or why are you doing this, the mentally ill might often make a nonsensical, odd, delusional statement like "I just want him to know if he broke it he bought it." You can't really understand their motivations or fit them on any kind of normal spectrum because their motivations aren't NORMAL.
Really, she needs help. No, not joking. For the sake of her children I really wish she would get help.
In an ID theft case I'm familiar with the Feds won't arrest anyone because they cannot know with certainly who did the hacking. If more than one other person COULD have had access to the computer, there is no way to prove who did what and who did nothing. Therefore, there have been no charges filed.
TFW had her friends staying in her room, house keepers, nannies, who knows who all COULD have gone to her computer and hacked, especially if she had her passwords on little PostIt notes stuck to her desktop. While the kids slept, anybody could have done anything. While TFW was gone on a trip, anybody could have done anything. Since Jon was not the only other adult in that house who was a computer user, there may be no proof.
I suspect what happened was that at some point, Jon upgraded the hard drive to one with more memory. He backed the old drive onto the new one and probably didn't bother to erase the old hard drive.
Now if you are the wife of a computer engineer (like me), you probably have boxes and boxes of old, out dated cords, power supplies, cables, Zip drives, mice, or even hard drives. I suspect Jon had the hard drive amongst his computer stuff. Now, whether he gave the hard drive to Robert or not is anyone's guess.
But no where in the complaint did I read that the hard drive came from her computer. It was just a hard drive.
I think given that Jon likely handled the computer/technology stuff in their house, Kate's assertion that Jon was never given permission to use her passwords or logins is false. Kate's lawyer should have said "at no time since the separation was Jon given permission to use Kate's accounts".
My husband is somewhat familiar with Randazza's work and he said he finds it highly unlikely the complaint was written by him. It's not professional enough.
My take on the pawns on the new book cover is that the two not illuminated or placed 'just so' are the twins, and the other six are, well, the true pawns in the debacle (no six = no show = no fame for TFW)
Signed, KitK (when I tried using my name to sign in, the post wouldn't post)
Does anyone think that some of this action of TFWs is also coming because a few of the children want to be with Jon and TFW is stating her 'broke it/bought it' message as a response. As in 'you broke this family, you now have to pay'?
Thinking and over-thinking - again. (I need a better hobby)
Fido I think you are 100% correct about the proof. You know the reality is the authorities investigate countless crimes but only really file charges on a few. If you can't prove it, it's not worth wasting the public's time and money.
Like I said though, what Kate failed to realize is that even if each and every little grievance she holds against Jon is true, people STILL want her to go away. It's like she literally could not contemplate how anyone wouldn't be on her side once they saw the truth. She doesn't get it. She just doesn't get it.
This is rather like when you bump into an old elementary school classmate who used to bully you. It's 20, 30, 50 years later. Often times, you just sort of laugh about it, shake hands, and end up perhaps even going to lunch. It would be silly to hold a grudge against that person and even sillier to continue to give them a hard time. We all have things in the past that were painful but to hold onto anything but the most heinous of grievances doesn't make you feel good and is just bad for your mental health.
Even parents of a child who is tragically killed are often quite willing to forgive the person who did it. And they of all people have every right to be angry the rest of these days. And yet time after time, watch the news and you hear from so many of these brave people, I've forgiven the killer, I don't hate them, I've moved on from them. My child would want me to forgive. What would the Gosselin kids say? Would they want Kate to forgive? I think so.
If even many of those parents recognize that it's just not healthy to go on hating that person even despite a MURDER, it just seems downright silly to continue to hate someone over a stupid hard drive or disks. And the public saw it, and has spoken.
You ladies are truly amazing with your knowledge on just about everything

I love how when you ask this group a question no matter how off the wall or random SOMEONE knows the answer or if they don't now the answer they'll know how to find you the answer lol! It's like a living breathing Slumdog Millionaire, everything in your life leading up to questions on this blog.
Does anyone think that some of this action of TFWs is also coming because a few of the children want to be with Jon and TFW is stating her 'broke it/bought it' message as a response. As in 'you broke this family, you now have to pay'?
&&&
You got me. I truly don't understand this analogy. Huh? Does she mean, you "messed up" by taking this stuff (and a million other things), now you have to deal with the lawsuit?
That's just such an odd thing to say from her attorney. It makes no sense.
I really hope she is not implying he "broke" the family. Because if I'm not mistaken, it was Katie Irene Gosselin who filed for divorce, not Jon, who rather, was desperate to try to fix the marriage through serious therapy and so on, and that information is widely available and verifiable.
Like I said though, what Kate failed to realize is that even if each and every little grievance she holds against Jon is true, people STILL want her to go away. It's like she literally could not contemplate how anyone wouldn't be on her side once they saw the truth. She doesn't get it. She just doesn't get it. _________________
Her "fans" have done her no favors treating her like she's a goddess. Speaking off...Milo's been rather quiet since the coupon site was announced. Her tweets just don't have that slobbering adoration ring to them these days.
If Milo finally turns on Kate, I will personally offer each and every one of you a $5 off coupon for crocs in celebration.
This is like the cruise or the Sarah Palin episode or many other gaffes. Many fans go quiet for a bit and some eventually disappear. I imagine there is some soul searching going on right now for many of them, and that would be fine. After all, they all must have had at some point, fathers, brothers, husbands, or someone male where they can relate to this and imagine how this would have hurt their families. No one is perfect, and I'm sure we can all think of something that our father did we did not agree with. But would we want THIS to be the punishment? If you're really honest, probably no.
Does anyone think that some of this action of TFWs is also coming because a few of the children want to be with Jon and TFW is stating her 'broke it/bought it' message as a response. As in 'you broke this family, you now have to pay'?
==================
I thought he meant that Jon broke the trust. That is, her secrets, her privacy, her journals, and whatever else he knew that she believed should never have been opened up for public consumption. It fits with the whole hacking/ID theft allegations.Therefore, because he did that, he will have to be punished.
Kate is Disgusting said... 43 The complaint states that all parties reside in Eastern Pennsylvania and that John and Jane Does were involved in hacking and wiretapping. This has nothing to do with Twitter haters.
Lawyers use the John and Jane Does to include anyone whose name comes up in Discovery. There aren't 20 more people being sued. It's a lawyers way of covering all their bases. ============================================ This^^^. The sheep are convinced that 20 haters from PA are being sued.
They are also under the mistaken belief that this is a criminal matter. This is a civil case. If any actual crime had been committed, I do believe TFW would have rather had Jon charged criminally (free- slight chance he might see fines & jail time) than go through this mess. It doesn't appear that she was successful in getting the interest of law enforcement. So she had to settle for a frivolous SLAPP suit.
When I was a child and did not quite understand a whole lot, my father entered into a legal battle over the ownership of a business with his older brother. It took financial resources he/we did not have, forced the rest of his family to take sides (not his for the most part), and did not end well. It quite literally destroyed my father. I have no knowledge or contact with that side of my family.
So watching the mega bitch KG enter into yet another legal sparring war with the father of her children resonates with me in a way that perhaps makes me understand why I still come here to read about her. She is engaged in a process that could very easily destroy her children's lives, and for what? Bitter, bitter revenge? I only hope that it ends here and she finally is stopped, if only by the courts. She has no insight into her behavior, and will not listen to anyone, not that there are even people in her life who might be able to talk to her. As said above, she really, really needs help. Medical, psychological, take a number.
Speaking off...Milo's been rather quiet since the coupon site was announced. Her tweets just don't have that slobbering adoration ring to them these days.

It's just amazing how many times we've explained the difference between civil and criminal and they still sit there and talk about jail time. I had no idea the concept was so difficult. They don't even teach it in law school I think they just assume you must already understand it just from old episodes of Law and Order.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 49m On our last day of summer vacay, we're finishing our sch supply/uniform labeling, thx to @StuckOnYouTweet #organizationproductgeniuses ========== Although her kids are well known by name already, I would hope she isn't putting their name on backpacks and lunch boxes etc. I heard years ago when my kids were little not to do that on their stuff or clothes because someone (bad person) could see the name and then pretend to know the child well enough that they could be enticed to go with that person.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 2h @Kessler82 write little love notes where he/she will c them (This yr I wrote ❤notes in labeling spot on spine of their binders for class! :) _____
I wonder what those notes say?
"Hey I'm suing daddy happy 1st day back good luck"
Remember a while back, in an interview, Jon said something about going to jail. (The media reported what he said incorrectly. ) I don't remember what he said exactly, but there was video of it.
I wonder if this is what he was alluding to. And since then things have changed, and he knows that he doesn't have to fear jail time. As in civil charges are not crimnal charges. Monetary damages yes, jail time no.
my final thoughts on this topic for tonight. I honestly believe that Kate got word that Robert was about to re-release "THE BOOK" and that's why she filed this suit. I mean if she has been so harmed why didn't she take action back in 2009 when her own Attorney at the time stated she was aware of the alleged acts. The only thing she did was when the first release came out was get TLC involved and THEY got the book removed until the courts paved the way for it's release or not. That seemed to quiet the beast(Kate) for a while. But, how dare Robert go ahead and do some revisions that protect TLC contracts, etc. and plan a relaunch of that awful book. How dare he do that to the high and mighty Katie Irene. I think she is running scared because she knows this book will eventually come out and she is pulling out all the stops to prevent that from happening. Personally, I think she has lost what's left of her mind and her dignity.

And I find that very interesting. Why isn't she pestering Kate?
She is engaged in a process that could very easily destroy her children's lives, and for what? Bitter, bitter revenge?
====
I think the destruction began the day she sold her family out to Figure 8 Production Company. I don't recall her ever putting the kids' well-being ahead of anything. She has two things on her brain - money and fame - and because she lacks the talent to recite the alphabet, she had to find a way get them both. The children provided the vehicle to get that.
The only saving grace left for that family is if Jon doesn't dis their mother when they are visiting him. I hope he is mature enough to hold his tongue about her. Then, even if they get the message subliminially, they will know who is really the one who is looking out for them. All the money in the world doesn't buy love and fame is fleeting. Kate will never see it that way.
Ingrid said... 93 Although her kids are well known by name already, I would hope she isn't putting their name on backpacks and lunch boxes etc. I heard years ago when my kids were little not to do that on their stuff or clothes because someone (bad person) could see the name and then pretend to know the child well enough that they could be enticed to go with that person.
%%%%%%%%%%%%
Where I live, the teachers want you to label everything! You don't have to put their name in blazing colors where everyone can see them. I put my kids names inside the backpack or their initials under the strap, initials inside the lunch box and initials on the labels inside their coats. Many kids have the same or similar jackets, etc. This helps the kids to make sure they have the correct belongings.
I don't care about hits, however I saw the stats when logging into blogger and noticed our hits are about three times what they normally are this week.
This is when TFW just doesn't think. She brought far more attention to her misdeeds through this little stunt than she ever did to anything good.
The child abuse was a forgotten memory by all but the Gosselin aficionados. Now, it's back on the airwaves and you can bet many people are asking, hmm what's that about? And searching for more info. Probably even winding up here some of the time.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if his book gets published and is a runaway hit. A lot of people will buy it to see what all the fuss was over and propel it into a best seller. If that happens I think the only proper thing for Robert to do is send Kate a than you note. Because if not for her most people wouldn't know anything about the book.
If Milo switches to pestering Deanna that would be so hysterical. Deanna will rue the day she got involved with TFW.
-----------------------------
She's been pestering Deanna all along. Nothing new there. If she doesn't hear from Kate, she'll meddle in Deanna's life, wanting to know where she is, what she's doing, who she's with... She just can't help herself. I think that's just the way she is. How would you like to have her as a mother-in-law? I'd pull my hair out.
Now Milo will hop on Twitter and say some utterly gaggingly sweet thing about how great a mom Kate is.
Tweet -- LOL!! Here you go. Just hopped on!

----------
Yes. Just think how many people watched Fox today and heard The Spanker comments.
Re Milo : oh, no, she's back in full on gag. Commented - about Kate's putting little notes in their binder- how lucky the kids are to have a mother who , forgot the exact words, shows them love in so many little ways. She also apologized to kate for not being around when kate was on twitter. Guess she hasn't noticed that she hasn't gotten a word from kate in weeks, including during her hubby's surgery, the woman milo is harassing is not deana, it is someone from Australia. Milo has nagged her before - where r u- and Australia responded that she was busy living life and had several kids with disabilities. Now Australia seems to have deleted her twitter. Sigh. I don't know this much about my own neighbors ! Also, is there any way we can contribute to a legal fund for Jon and Robert? admin? .
I can't even imagine holding all this rage for all these years. This happened four years ago, two law firms plus police have shot her down and she's still seeking vengeance. It's nasty and I'm surprised she hasn't gotten sick yet from all the hatefulness. I won't be surprised when it happens
Just watched Access Hollywood and Kate's attorney Razzmatazz or whatever his name is said all Kate wants is for Jon to know that if he broke it he bought it. 71
My take on this is that when Jon tried to stop the filming (but didn't: remember kate plus 8, katie?) He "broke" her plan of filming until the kids were all 18 (as if) and must pay.

Of course Robert has said over and over that the disks they were taken from have not been changed and he has proof of that....but what does the truth have to do with anything TFMJG and/or her fans have to say?

Sleepless, so glad you got a great deal on Oreos! I found some peeps in the cupboard! Way too old to eat but cute to look at. Admin, thank YOU for this great blog with so many Super Fun Posters! Knowledgeable too! PS TFMJG did something mildly interesting today, but essentially she is still boring and will be overlooked in favor of #SuperFunSpanker discussion. Also lawsuits take time and are mostly boring with waiting. So for anyone bored I can still give a virtual tour of state and national parks with alligators and crocodiles. Yes, there are some American crocodiles in Florida, however I never got close enough to learn how to tell the difference. Or we can go on virtual vacation. Or we can find the absolute best banana bread recipe ever! And debate the age old question: nuts or no nuts? Don't forget #SuperFunLegalDefenseFund! I will contribute and I will bet there are quite a few readers of this blog and the news stories who will contribute.

Hey, Milo. It'll be mornin when you see this since LOM has you safely tucked in your bed by now, visions of vanilla ice cream dancin in your head. You just ought to come over for a visit, ask some questions, learn some stuff, we'll be easy on you, honest.
Totally Off Topic for you Netflix watchers, if you like mysteries I'd recommend "The Fall." It takes place in Ireland, a tad gruesome but not overly so. Just a well put-together story with some good acting. Have I said lately how much I love Netflix?!

----------------------
Yes, I know the person she just tweeted was the fan in Australia, the one who met Kate there. I guess I didn't word it very well. She has been tweeting Deanna all along, which I what I said. She deletes so many of the tweets, but she did tweet her several days ago wondering where she is.
I wonder if Abner knows how far Gladys goes in her penchant for pestering.
Guess tomorrow is the last day of summer 2013 vacation for the G8. Did she do anything with them, go anywhere? And I don't mean maybe taking the twins to see her sister months ago. Were they seen at a movie theatre, a museum, anyplace other than Chipotle? Guess she couldn't figure out a day trip to a park or a beach. What a shame.
It sure is amazing how fast information flows on the internet, so many people who are commenting about TFW's lawsuit, wishing she would just fly away already, and wanting to know the contents of Robert's first book, excited that he will be putting out a new one. Yes, so many of you are so right, she is calling major attention to Robert's first book, what a dumb-ass thing to do. She has painted a big red bulls-eye on her plastic chest, all the attention she wants is turning out to be the negative kind. My husband bought a small commercial ice-cream maker, it is amazing to be able to concoct any kind we can imagine. He said it is because of our 5 grandchildren, but he has a wicked sweet tooth himself. Tonight I made a Raspberry Coconut blend, with a little Cream Cheese to make it a bit tangy, and it is really good! I am going to get a dish of it, and re-read Robert's first book again, getting ready for the second one. Goodnight all:)
A job for TFW! Working in a school cafeteria, monitoring the portions...
"Students in a rural Kentucky county — and their parents — are the latest to join a growing national chorus of scorn for the healthy school lunches touted by first lady Michelle Obama.
“They say it tastes like vomit,” said Harlan County Public Schools board member Myra Mosley at a contentious board meeting last week, reports The Harlan Daily Enterprise.
The growing body of USDA meal regulations implemented by the Department of Agriculture under the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010″ has long been a signature issue for the first lady.
Denizens of Harlan County don’t much care, though. Their primary concern at the board meeting was a bevy of complaints that local children are starving at lunch — and for the remainder of the school day — because the food on offer in the cafeteria is crappy and there isn’t nearly enough of it.
“Kids can’t learn when they’re hungry!” parents shouted to the board, according to the Enterprise.
Other gripes involved the new bread, which students don’t want to eat because it’s brown wheat bread, and the new milk, which is skim or one percent fat, not two percent or whole. The cafeteria’s chocolate- and strawberry-flavored milk offerings are now nonfat.
Jack Miniard, the school district’s director of school and community nutrition, was on hand to explain that the federal government now governs both food choices and portion sizes in most American school districts including Harlan County.
Under the National School Lunch Program, Under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, participating schools must provide lunches — including free or reduced price lunches — with minimum amounts of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and whole grains. Also, in what presumably falls outside the hunger-free aspect of the act, there’s a calorie cap: 850 for high school lunches, 700 for middle schools and a mere 650 calories for kids in elementary school.
Students can only have one serving of meat or other protein. However, rich kids can buy a second portion each day on their own dime.
Servings of carbohydrates such as potatoes are limited to just a single serving of three-fourths of a cup per student.
On the plus side, students can eat as many fruits and vegetables as they want.
Across the country, students and parents have expressed dissatisfaction with the federal government’s new food regime. Some wealthier suburban school districts are simply backing out of the National School Lunch Program, though doing so can mean giving up a six-figure annual subsidy for the district"
I would really, really love to hear TFW enumerate the work she has lost because of Robert's book. Did she have real deals snatched away? Is that what finally happened to Twist of TFW?
I really do fear for the kids' safety if this does not go TFW's way. I believe that she is will lose it--Revenge seems to be her only reason for living--what will be her next move?
How sad that the kids have to deal with this on their first day of school. The twins must be absolutely mortified. I'm glad to see the humor here--but, mostly I am just very sad.
I cannot believe Kate has filed this lawsuit. I believe she hates Jon, blames him for all that has gone wrong, blah blah blah. I know she acts before she thinks. I know she's used bad judgement. But I never thought she was completely stupid which is what this lawsuit seem to be, IMO.
I can't believe that she's so vengeful that she can't see that this is drawing attention to the very thing she wants to be rid of, but apparently she is. It is worrisome.
I think the new book cover is fantastic! I didn't get to buy it before, but I'm definitely going to get it as soon as Robert re-releases it.
Kateplusmy8 now that you'll have some free time with them in school u gotta write a book on parenting and discipline and how u make it work *****************************************
Is that a sheep? Sounds like someone egging her on :)
I can't even imagine holding all this rage for all these years. This happened four years ago, two law firms plus police have shot her down and she's still seeking vengeance. It's nasty and I'm surprised she hasn't gotten sick yet from all the hatefulness. I won't be surprised when it happens
******************************************** This is fuel for a narcissist. I think the fact that she's had so many "yes" people, big time YES people, her vengeance has grown to such a scale. If there were not multiples, no show, no $, she'd still be TFW from hell.
I think she is running scared because she knows this book will eventually come out and she is pulling out all the stops to prevent that from happening. ************************************************
Makes me sick how she'd lecture the audience, in her holier than though attitude, black bottomed feet on the table, flirtatious smiles to the camera guy, etc, about discipline, cooking, organizing, couponing, budgeting...blah blah blah...all the while she's confessing in her diary about being frightened she's going to SERIOUSLY hurt her kids, getting her "organic" meals from a CHEF, negotiating contracts in the THOUSANDS...blah blah blah...MAKES ME SICK! (sorry for the grammar and run on)
Even parents of a child who is tragically killed are often quite willing to forgive the person who did it. ********************************************
So true! This always amazes me if I read or hear about such a selfless act.
I cannot help but to believe that this was all carefully orchestrated by Kate and McGibney many months ago. She had to come out and claim she was bullied to provide a viable reason for their partnership. Did she pay the guy? What an incredibly devious plan ( sound familiar like getting pregnant with six?) I am telling you, our instincts about Kate Gosselin are on target. From mailing baby videos to cable companies to snare a contract to booting Jon out the marriage, I don't think any of it was by chance. Fascinating.
Oh, no, it's bad old Jon and his dastardly friend who are keeping her from the life she so richly deserves. ***********************************************8
My God, she blamed him for the kids cavities! Remember when the dentist told her that they need to improve on their brushing? "hmm, JON" shrugging and flapping. The dentist said to her "this is very common"
I wonder if Abner knows how far Gladys goes in her penchant for pestering. ******
Anyone who uses a name like "Firedup4Kate" as their Twitter name is a few bubbles off in my opinion. And the fake hick accent is just creepy. It's like she/he is trying to channel Larry the Cable Guy. But when you get him/her angry, she starts channeling Chucky.
Nothing she does to try to destroy the father of her children surprises me anymore, nothing. Even Good Morning America laughed at the notion that she has a bad reputation from this book?!? Most people get it. Who on earth told her this was a good idea? What businessperson in their right mind is going to hire her with this baggage. Something struck me that Carrie Ann said, she honestly believed that Kate thought she was doing well dancing and that she had no self awareness of the reality. I think that is her downfall and you couple that with yes people who are ready willing and able to take your money, it is a big lose.......for the children. It is quite sad. Westbrooke
TFW's claiming the computer was worth $5K is a huge stretch. The only way to drop $5K on a computer is to buy either a workstation or a high-end gaming PC. So unless TFW has been spending her "working" hours doing computer-aided design or playing Gears of War on a machine rigged with a multi-monitor setup and multiple graphics cards, she's going to have a hard time collecting anything north of $1500 for a replacement computer.
On the you broke it, you bought it from the lawyer..I think he means Jon broke Kate's reputation, her ability to work. So therefore he bought it, or is being sued, and will have to give her the future money he made her lose?
OMG! Did anyone else watch Good Morning America this morning? It was hysterical. They had a segment on about Kate's lawsuit and the guy says "Kate is asking for an undisclosed sum because Jon ruined her reputation." I swear everyone on the panel were like WHAT! you mean since the book, not all that was seen on the reality show. They were basically laughing at her. If any way you can all see it it is priceless.
Jon said in his recent interview he has documentation to back up everything and that he has written a book but does not want to release it yet. Said that his book will sum up everything. This is Kate's fear that two books will damn her so she is going to stop at nothing to silence them. Perhaps she is using the suit as a tactic to get Jon to agree to never publish his book? My,my. She is desperate to hide something.
First day school picture probably will be posted soon, happy smiling faces, proof she is the best mom ever. Maybe even pap photos too today at the bus stop. Jon, stand firm. Don't let her turn the kids against you.
Its Wednesday, headlines today: Syria, Egypr, Yosemite fire, fiftieth anniversary of MLK I have a dream speech, second anniversary of hurricane Irene hitting USA, Red Sox beat Baltimore Orioles, twitter and new York times got hacked by Syria. Entertainment news: Still discussion about Miley Cyrus raunchy performance at VMA awards and that was last Sunday. Ben Affleck will be new Batman and Bryan Cranston will be new Lex Luthor. Kardashians! Nope, nothing about TFMJG or the cookbook. So much for publicity. The generic entertainment watching public gets bored when you do the same song and dance year after year. The poor me tour was already done, no one is interested now. no one wants any pap photos either. Will a photo of TFMJG now be next to dictionary definition of FAIL?
TFW has a lot of young fans. I wish she would teach them better ways to approach and live life. For instance, YOU make your own destiny. No one else can stop you. No one else is responsible for what happens to you but you. Don't waste time blaming others, focus on what YOU can change.
This idea that Jon is stopping her from anything is delusional, paranoid, and most of all, pathetic.
For instance, YOU make your own destiny. No one else can stop you. No one else is responsible for what happens to you but you. Don't waste time blaming others, focus on what YOU can change **********************************************
Sounds like all those platitudes that she was twitting...whatever happened to that? hmmmm
Jon is being stalked by Kate. Can't he get some sort of restraining order against her, where she is not allowed to mention his name in public, or in print? Why should she be allowed to throw him under the bus year after year like she does, when he has chosen to lead a non public life? She is making his life a misery, and he has no recourse? If she wants to sue, it should be done in private. He needs a gag order to make her shut up.

They had a segment on about Kate's lawsuit and the guy says "Kate is asking for an undisclosed sum because Jon ruined her reputation." I swear everyone on the panel were like WHAT! you mean since the book, not all that was seen on the reality show. They were basically laughing at her. If any way you can all see it it is priceless
From mailing baby videos to cable companies to snare a contract to booting Jon out the marriage, I don't think any of it was by chance. Fascinating.

TLC I 100% agree. This was all calculated with its own set of ulterior motives. The problem is as the years go by she loses it more and more, the longer she goes without help for her mental illness(es) she becomes more unhinged, and doesn't have her regular handles around with more level heads (she's gone from more grounded and rational people at TLC and Steve who said she couldn't have Nobu, to McGibblets). What's next, suing her own kids? Maybe there's a tort out there for not being cute enough anymore to be on T.V. The tort of mediocrity?
I don't think he meant her, but I think the comment was highly embarrassing for her because it could have been taken that way, given they've been together for so long.
How's this for speculation? I read today that Star magazine (I know, I know!) is revealing 3 contestants who have reportedly signed on to do DWTS this season, including Snooki, Jack Osbourne and another young chippie I've never heard of. So, maybe Jon was being considering for DWTS and Kate's trying to keep him so wrapped up in a lawsuit, that she basically forces him to forfeit his opportunity. Didn't Jon bring up Kate's never being at home for the kids when she was doing DWTS and try to shift custody then? I just remember her boohooing in a big-ass limo, sitting there like a lump and being handled by Steve to put her big girl panties on.
What's next, suing her own kids? Maybe there's a tort out there for not being cute enough anymore to be on T.V. The tort of mediocrity? ************************************************
Hey Remona :) I only got as far as your comment so maybe someone helped you with the link for the new book cover. What I did was use my mouse to highlight it (just the link, nothing extra) and then right click (could be left on your computer) and from the drop down bar I chose to open it. Hope that helps. If someone else already got to this, sorry! I'm on my way out to work so couldn't read all the fantastic (per the norm) comments here.
Oh speaking of suing your kids I heard that Shirley McClaine's daughter is sort of cow towing now and being wishy washy about all the dirt she revealed about her mom. I don't know if she's really taken it back but she's definitely acting like well maybe I exaggerated. I believe what she said the first time, and I fear her mother may have threatened or blackmailed her to get her to take this all back.
That's probably what TFW would do if the kids ever speak out until they agree to retract it.
By the way many of the things Sachie said occurred when there were witnesses around, notably her best friend was around quite a bit. So Shirley can make her take it back all she wants, but there were witnesses.
I agree with what you are saying about marking things discreetly but that stuckonyou.com website has all kinds of cutesy labels to put on the outside of bags, boxes, etc. Those sort of labels I think I wrong to do.
Ex Nurse I have the same concerns about what will happen if...WHEN this doesn't work out for her.
She really seems to becoming unhinged, like Betty Broderick slowly did over time, over many years. Each behavior was more and more outrageous until it ended it tragedy. I'm not saying it's going that way, but it's certainly not going in a very positive direction, that's for sure.
They started by showing clips of her nagging Jon half to death and giving her trademark dirty, nasty looks, then they juxtaposed it with Kate's claim that the book damaged her reputation. They were all laughing and saying, Oh, so THAT'S what caused it." She is a joke. The entire panel was laughing at her in a very derisive manner. She is hated and they don't have to pretend anymore. It was wonderful to see them done with the ass-kissing and letting their real feelings show, in a way that can only be done when they know it's over for her.
They showed a short blurb from Randazza talking about discovery but they didn't even mention his name. He won't be getting a name for himself from this joke of a case. Oh, and no mention of the crazy one who started this whole thing with Kate. He thought his lawyer would work magic for Kate instead he is a laughingstock.
I thought about the Betty Broderick case when this hit. She will never be able to make lightning strike twice because SHE blew it. Blaming Jon, hating Jon etc is just not going to give her the opportunities she had at the beginning. If ever anyone needed a life reset button, it is her. Westbrooke
I want to ask Kate is she's sure BV isn't working for Robert Hoffman because he couldn't buy better publicity for the re-release of his book. Well done, BV.
Over And Out said... 130 A job for TFW! Working in a school cafeteria, monitoring the portions...
Amanda, Iowa says................ Yeah, no that wouldn't work, lunchtime is not nearly long enough for letting kids pick up their plates of food one by one. I seriously wonder how all those hundreds of kids in schools survive getting in line for their lunches while by (organized) Khate her 8! kids cant seem to get their food from the kitchen-counter without trampling and backing up into eachother?!?
She said Dan Broderick abused her and then used his legal connections to crush her as their marriage broke up. "The family hates these lies because Dan was about as honorable and wonderful a guy as you would want to meet," said his brother Larry. "There are hundreds of people out there who feel the same way about him. All he wanted to do was get away from this woman."
Betty Broderick's diaries were read in court, and Dan's answering machine tapes were played -- including one in which their son pleaded with his mother to stop using "bad words" about his father. The couple's oldest daughter, Kimberly, testified that her mother told her she hated the girl's father.
"The part that nobody sees is it was already five years later on the timeline," Sachs said. "She's getting 16 grand a month and a nice house in La Jolla, and it's time to move on."
Mental health experts for the defense said Broderick was depressed; prosecution experts said she was a narcissist. In several media interviews after the trials, Broderick continued to portray herself as the victim.
The parallels are creepy: Hated their father even though normal people thought he was a nice guy, had a very nice life with money and a nice house but still couldn't be happy and content, COULDN'T MOVE ON from what happened even 5 years later, narcissism. TFW needs to stop and get therapy. It's not going to end in murder God forbid, but that doesn't mean there aren't lessons to be learned from Betty Broderick. If SHE had gotten help maybe this wouldn't have happened. The reality is it's probably not going to end well in some form, if this continues without TFW getting help.
Ok once again :-).....YES it's a federal suit---it was filed in federal court most likely because they want the option of joining parties to it who don't necessarily live in PA. Federal court is not special, it's just what is necessary to do when you've got multiple jurisdictions potentially involved. It in no way means "the feds" are suing anyone. It's simply the most logical forum to file. If it were just Kate suing her neighbor, they would go down to their local court because that's not complicated like this is. It's STILL a civil suit and there are no authorities or jail time or feds involved, period.
Oh and as far as I'm concerned suing the children's father is part of this "not ending well." This is not ending well. And it needs to stop before something worse happens.

Don't they normally charge all identify theft and hacking in a Federal court? I had someone steal my identity a few years ago and they were tried in a Federal Court. But that was a criminal case. I don't know about civil cases.

Wasn't it stated somewhere that the John Does live in eastern Pennsylvania? Wouldn't that mean that it isn't necessary to file in federal court? I'm not sure where I read that, but if the complaint states that their names and addresses are unknown, then how to do they know that they are all from PA?

***********88
Well, yes, I can't see how it can get much worse than this.
I believe there are probably both federal and state hacking and identity theft laws that would apply here. For whatever strategic reasons, they are attacking this under federal law. Most likely, because if any of it didn't occur in PA's jurisdiction, they're still covered. It's still a civil case.
Unfortunately, personality disorders are part of who the person is. It would be like trying to change the color of her eyes. Her personality is toxic and destroys everyone in her path. The only way to protect yourself is to stay far away. Unfortunately, eight kids and their father have to deal with her, at least until they're adults. Can you imagine family weddings, grandchildren's birthdays? This is a true tragedy.

But how can that be? Her fans (particularly Chief Executive Ewe) are convinced that everyone all over the world loves her. I guess everyone except GMA, Fox News, etc. etc., who are all just dumb haters.
Razamataze is being even more wishy washy this morning. Did you see the part where he said they claim they got the info from the trash and we look forward to exploring that in discovery?
What does that mean? What happened to, oh there's no way he could have gotten this from the trash the documents were too numerous? Now we're going to "explore" the possibility? LOL. Wait, wouldn't that throw the whole thing out if when they explore this in discovery, it comes out it actually did come from the trash just like he said? Like I said, lawsuits should always be taken seriously, but it's hard not to notice what a total joke this has become.
This might be a stupid question or already answered, but why would TFW sue Jon civiilly and not criminally for the ID theft and hacking charges? Is it because maybe she has some conscience and doesn't want to send him to jail but just hurt him monetarily? Or is it easier to sue civilly?
I saw an interview a few years ago with Betty Broderick's youngest son. He said he still loves his mom but gets exhausted visiting her because after all these years, she still rages about Dan when he visits her. He said he doesn't get it at all. He's dead, she killed him, and all these years later she still talks as if she is the victim and is full of hatred towards the father of her children.
He even mentioned saying to her "he's dead, what more do you want" but gets nothing but rage in return. Sad, sad story.

I have gotten a tip via email that GMA may be doing more stories on this thing, so keep an eye out in future days.
976 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 976 Newer› Newest»"She knows this lawsuit will go on for years and most likely neither Jon nor Robert has the funds to see it through to the end and they'll buckle and agree to settle." (160)
Jon and Robert most probably do not have the funds to successfully battle this in court. But maybe Robert's publishing compagny does. In fact, if I were Robert's publisher I'd almost be giddy right now. You cannot buy this kind of publicity.
I'm thinking along the lines of the book written by General Petraeus' mistress published just a short while after Petraeus had to resign.
Yes, I know, I'm comparing the head of the CIA with TFW. But still... Strickly "publishing wise", a suit like that, when a book about the plaintiff is all ready and set to hit the shelves must be a dream come true to any publishing house.
Statute of Limitation under Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) is 2 years from either the event or discovery of the damage.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
But they have this lumped together, along with ID theft, and the SOL in PA is four years for ID theft. However, the SOL in a CFAA, which is the invasion of privacy claim would fall under state law, and the statute of limitations is one year. The federal computer fraud claim has a two year statute of limitations.
So if they go by the SOL for the CFAA, she's out of luck if she knew about this in 2009.
Ooops! My bad... The Paula Broadwell book was published a few months before Petraeus had to resign, but, of course, it's sales were enormously boosted by the whole brouhaha...
What about residuals? Do reality tv participants get residuals? Is Jon entitled to them from Jon & Kate Plus 8? If so, maybe TFW is going after those assets.
Anybody know?
&&&&&&&
Generally there are no residuals for those involved in reality television shows. Whether or not her attorneys wrote them into the contract is anyone's guess.
Ha, it even made the Washington Post, but this usually reliable paper got the details wrong. Wonder if the NYT will cover it?

Jon, Robert and the attorneys will now have to go through this complaint and mark "admitted" or "denied" to each point. It will be interesting to see what they do with #35, the "untrue" allegations.
====
Some of the stuff in that complaint reminds me of that scene in Rainman when Raymond made an entry in his journal:
"Number eighteen. In 1988, Charlie Babbitt squeezed and pulled and hurt my neck in 1988"
lol! Aw Kate. You finally did it to yourself.
I think the new cover for Mr. Hoffman's book is brilliant. Visually, it's very effective.
The image is also an excellent representation of how this is all very much a chess game with 8 children as pawns and their privacy as collateral damage.
Whether Mr. Hoffman had intended to re-release the book and advertise said intent today becomes a moot point.
Kate filed the lawsuit first and that makes her look like the aggressor. The way it's played out is that Mr. Hoffman was merely making a defensive counter move.
As far as Kate filing the lawsuit, I have no legal knowledge whatsoever and can't speculate whether she has a case or not or how this could potentially play out.
What I'm pretty sure of though is that again Kate is most definitely putting herself before the well being of her children.
And, sadly, in the end, it will be the Gosselin children bearing the emotional brunt of this entire saga.
"5,000 is only what she's valued the computer at."
HAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHA. This statement alone would cause me to question the validity of any of her other claims.
Also, I might be missing something here, but 1) what does this suit have to do with custody arrangements, even if Jon were to be found guilty? If you are convicted of stealing a hard drive, you don't get to see your children anymore? and 2) how exactly does this suit engender interest in her cookbook?
She only got about 3 direct replies to this tweet (except the haterz:
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 49m
On our last day of summer vacay, we're finishing our sch supply/uniform labeling, thx to @StuckOnYouTweet
#organizationproductgeniuses
Sounds to me she is fishing for some paps to meet her at the school bus tomorrow.
It seems that she got wind of Robert's intention of re-releasing the book so she filed a lawsuit to try and stop it.
Thus the hastily written complaint?
she got all her testosterone supply and attention from men at work. All day, every day.
That's what Kate got from Steve and perhaps to some extent, the crew.
I agree with this one. TFW was on camera pulling the "ain't I cute" stunt with the crew all the time. Not something you would do with a female crew (who would think, oh, gag me). \
That's something that you do with men. She was probably the only female on the set, I mean...the house, thus the ultra flirty behavior.
And we saw the same sort of vibe on Jon's personal videos from when they were first going together. That "ain't I cute" thing.
You know what would be a great ending scenario to this whole fiasco of TFWs? If it would go to court, the judge would throw it out, reprimand Kate and make her pay DAMAGES to Jon (and Robert) for trashing their reputation in the media.
(A girl can dream right?)
Admin - I agree with your assessment of the complaint. It's sloppy work, looks like it was thrown together hastily with little proof-reading, and weak on its allegations. I would like to see Jon and/or Robert hire a competent attorney, who will rip the many holes in this complaint to shreds.

Long Time Reader here:

*****
I'm not in the industry, but from what I've read in various online forums is that reality tv stars do not get residuals from re-runs of their shows. They are paid a flat rate per episode - and it might be a flat rate per family (as in the Gosselin's case), or flat rate per person (as in the case of the Jersey Shore group). If the show is successful, then the stars can renegotiate for a higher fee per episode. But I've never heard of residuals for a reality tv show.
OMG this is a riot. Call BV there are three Fox News anchors to go after! If TFW thought this lawsuit would bring her sympathy she needs to count how many times "spanker" is said. Oh, and the one woman noted how TFW used her own money to try and come up with a pilot because she is "desperate" to get back on tv!
http://video.foxnews.com/v/2632149278001/
Perez source has to be either Jon, Robert or PR hired by their attorneys. I think this is an indication what the response will be to Kate's complaint. Kate is counting on getting invites to TV shows, but guess what? So will Jon and Robert!
Even if there was a remote chance that Kate could get ''work'' for the kids, the chances of that now are slim and none.
She has now managed to make herself AND the kids unemployable for fear of lawsuits. I wonder if this will follow the kids into adulthood too. Any potential employer may not want to touch them out of fear of reprisal.
All I can see in the future for those poor children is lawsuits, embarrassment, and heartache.
What a legacy.
Thank those of you who told me about the mouse over Robert's new cover said ''coming soon''. No matter how many times I tried, it doesn't show up for me, but at least I know what you all are talking about!
Long Time Reader....I remember reading that residuals were not in their contracts. I've no idea why they would be so unaware of residuals, because it seems to me that everyone would know to not sign any contract that didn't include some sort of residual payments.
Even if the law suit goes nowhere, the depositions will be 'out there'. Paula Deen's problems were because someone leaked the depositions! What would be revealed in TFMJG's depositions would make Paula's problems seem like a walk in the park!
Fox news did really hone in on Kate's corporal punishment and now the thousands of viewers watching know.
The only book and author getting publicity is Robert.
Each count must abide by its statute of limitations. Looks like we're down to only one count TFW didn't completely blow the SOL on, and even that one she's cutting it so close she may have blown that too.
Remember that Seinfeld episode where Kramer keeps pronouncing SOL statue? Jerry gets so mad haha.

I can't believe she wouldn't see this coming. That Fox piece was scathing and the reports of using The Spanker was hit on hard. Robert was quoted as saying she used it for everything and anything.
In addition to now being exposed for her severely physically punishing the children, the anchors did not even try to to be "fair and balanced". They can't stand her and wonder why she won't go away.
Wait until The Stir gets a load of Kate's potty training entries. If seeing her plop a kid down on a potty and leave him there in the dark for 30 minutes wasn't enough, they will soon find out that the woman who wrote this whole touchy feely blog about potty training kids on their site actually beat her toddler for pooping after less than a week of potty training.
Beat. Him.
I imagine Jon set up their home computer, e-mail accounts and all. So, it also figures that he helped Kate pick out passwords..that's how he knew what they are/were, not by hacking or stealing things.

And that's the issue with her. SHE DOESN'T THINK. Before you leap gung ho into something like this, you have to weigh the pros and cons. What are the consequences...is this really worth it in the long run? What might come out, and how am I going to defend that? She's so fast on the trigger with the "can we sue," finds an attorney who wants the money and publicity, and just goes for it. I just am amazed that she has nobody to advise her, or if she does, she doesn't listen.
I was just looking at Robert's book cover, which is PERFECT BTW, and noticed something. Six of the pawns are reflecting the image of the 'Queen'. The two in the back aren't, however. I wonder if this is a subtle message? I mean since the reflections seem to go all around the Queen except for the two? Just thinking, perhaps even over-thinking things, but still, one has to wonder.
Because she may have known before she made that statement in October 2009 she knew. She just said that in October. She didn't specify the exact date she found out. Could have been September, August or earlier who knows. Hence why I said she may have blown it.

I'd like to see what happens when she tries to shake him off. That guy is cut from the same cloth as she is so that will make it interesting.
Here's a blast form the past. The interview with Merideth Viera. TFW's infamous 'Purse full of Bills".
TFW admits to 11 joint accounts with Jon.
TFW admits to taking/moving $100000 out of their joing account 'Before' Jon had moved any money because she was afraid Jon 'might move money out of the account'.
TFW was told by her lawyers to put it back.
TFW goes on a media blitz when Jon does the same thing (moves money out of the account).
If Jon and TFW had 11 joint accounts, he should have been able to access them until they were dissolved and closed presumably when the divorce was finalized or around such time.
I believe Jon was afraid TFW was going to hide all the liquid assets without him having anything. She's just that vindictive.

Hey Berks -
Can I add to your dream? It would be poetic justice to see:
TLC unleashing their crack team of lawyers to defend Jon and nip TFW's lawsuit in the bud just to avoid the discovery phase where all their dirty little secrets would come out.
HCI being the new publisher of Robert's book.
Robert's book being re-released and making the NYT bestseller list.
Jon and/or Robert being invited to make the talk show rounds.
OK. Dream over.
-------------------------
Kate is so consumed by rage and vengeance, and so desperate to become relevant, she is blind to all common sense and bounds of decency. She also can't see that she is being used. Her attorney was probably only too happy to take her (the kids') money to file this lawsuit, which is only making her look like an evil, vindictive shrew and stark raving mad. She has gone round the bend.
I've been thinking about both Jon and Robert dealing with TFMJG's lawsuit. Neither of them have any assets that she could claim IF (and that is a BIG if) she won. Jon said in his last interview that he has nothing, and is not afraid of her.
I keep hearing Janis singing ''Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose....''

_________________________
Also, her complaint about "stolen" emails doesn't hold much water, either. Many of the emails as presented in Robert's book were sent to both Kate AND Jon, or Jon was CC'ed, or they were sent to info@sixgosselins.com, which Jon was entitled to access.
Gotta say that gosselinbook's new cover is much more interesting than the old cover.
The old one, you'd see TFW's screaming, ugly face, and think, yech!
This new cover is really enticing. It's one that I'd pick up to investigate, even if I didn't know what it was.
It actually looks like it could be the cover to a really cool murder mystery.
Couple of opinions here.
First, I'm pretty sure that Kate's law team, which includes Randazza, would be fully aware of which SOL apply before filing the Complaint and making fools of themselves.
Second, I'm willing to bet prior to this getting to trial that most, if not all, of the "Does" will be dismissed from the case.
Again, JMO.
I was reading Kate's TL today, noticing the absence of many of the fans.You know, both the sheeple and the haters bait and often take things out of context, just to stir things up. I was checking on something I read there, and went to Kate's old tweets:
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
Got home w my 6..as we pulled into garage,they said in stereo in a monotone voice: You have now reached your destination like GPS! Ha, kids!
One of the non-fans had tweeted:
xxxxxx
@ashymama2 @FireyTopaz1 #Kateplusmy8 Reminds me -- why does Kate use GPS to get home from the bus stop? "Reached your destination" LIE!
I know Kate has a tendency to fib, to embellish, but she didn't say that she got home from the bus stop. She would have no reason to go to the bus stop before school starts. Why make up something that's not there? Moreover, my kids often say the "destination" thing, even if I don't use the GPS and we're just getting home from grocery shopping. It's what's they are used to hearing. I have mine set to the British accent (Nigel) so it's really funny to hear them imitate the GPS voice.
This antagonism between these two factions on her TL just needs to end. Kate is doing a fine job all by herself digging herself into a hole from which she's not going to get herself out. She doesn't need help from the "haters" on Twitter, and no amount fans glorifying this lawsuit with the "Go Kate" garbage is going to redeem her or help her in any way.
You know, I would like to go through every episode of the 'realest reality show' and show all the examples of abuse/exploitation/neglect to any judge. All the 'gates' for example.
Auntie the Rainman reference is too funny. Squeezed and pulled and hurt my hard drive in 2009!
=========
Admin - I was reading quickly and you don't want to know how I read that sentence! #jerseygirlthroughanthrough
Attorneys file complaints all the time that blow SOLs, it's just usually that becomes part of the argument, when did it toll. They may have some convoluted argument why she hasn't blown it but that doesn't mean a judge will buy it. It breaks my heart the way the children are probably paying for all this, and for what? To prove a point against their own biological father.
How could she have blown it by cutting it close? She filed before the deadline. What does it matter if she cut it close?
________________
Because she may not have cut it close at all. It may be too late, depending on when she knew. If she knew back in April of 2009, but only commented on it in October of 2009, then the SOL has expired.
My take of this is simple. Kate believed Barbara Walters comment about Kate being a "star." Bad move on Kate's part. My dear husband said today, "the whole thing is the kids have lost their cute." Kate cannot handle the reality of the situation. This family had their 15 minutes of fame/tons of income. Should have saved it while you got it. Kate is angry about her own lack of a career on television. Anger and resentment on her part is behind all of this and Kate found an attorney who will gladly take the children's money. This lawsuit makes her look bad, very bad. We did not need a book to tell us about the secrets of Kate. She let out her true colors on the show, each and every program. Where are the "best friends" now? Where is the extended family? There are reasons for the disappearance of so many people.

@ashymama2 @Kateplusmy8 Why does Jon want to hurt/humiliate the mother of his children? What does it serve? This is why Kate is suing him!

How could she have blown it by cutting it close? She filed before the deadline. What does it matter if she cut it close?
*****
I do not mean to speak for Admin, so this is my best guess response. It may be unclear as to when the activity leading to the cause of action was actually discovered. By cutting it close, could mean that further discovery as the lawsuit progresses could prove that the lawsuit wasn't filed prior to the running of that particular statute.
A complaint makes allegations. The discovery phase is where those allegations have to be supported by documented proof.
First, I'm pretty sure that Kate's law team, which includes Randazza, would be fully aware of which SOL apply before filing the Complaint and making fools of themselves.
_________________
Not necessarily, Pat. I've seen cases filed in which the SOL had long expired, but the attorneys thought they could pull the wool over the eyes of the judge and opposition. Sometimes it works, but if opposing counsel is sharp, they won't get away with it. Doesn't hurt to try, though.
The only word that comes to mind to describe TFW is RUTHLESS.

I've been thinking about both Jon and Robert dealing with TFMJG's lawsuit. Neither of them have any assets that she could claim IF (and that is a BIG if) she won. Jon said in his last interview that he has nothing, and is not afraid of her.
I keep hearing Janis singing ''Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose....''
*****
Remona, I thought of the phrase, "You can't get blood from a turnip." Jon made it very clear in that recent interview that he was not afraid of being sued, that he felt free, and that the most important thing to him is that his children have the freedom to be children.
He's been through the fire (or maybe a David v. Goliath reference would be more appropriate), and survived. Sounds like he has his priorities straight, and knows that Kate cannot take his own contentment with life, his own spirituality, whatever centers him - away from him at this point. He is free of her grip, once and for all.
Now his focus is on keeping his children from being made to work to support their lazy mother. Her lawsuit is not going to change a darn thing about that.
Why doesn't Kate just run an add in the papers telling everyone that her kids will be at the bus stop tomorrow morning?
There is something so "off" about her. She just filed a lawsuit to take her ex husband and father of her kids down, and she's crapping rainbows on Twitter.
I truly do hope that Jon doesn't think that this is something he can go into court for, and defend himself. Robert, either.
There's way too much to lose. He isn't going to know about SOL, etc. He won't even begin to know the rules, etc. This is not the time to go it alone.
A good lawyer is needed. Emphasis on "good". Not like the incompetent nincompoops he had before.

------------------
This is it in a nutshell. Let TFW have her day in court if she wants it. No matter what happens Jon will still be Jon. He has nothing to lose, but TFW has EVERYTHING to lose (that she hasn't lost or thrown away already).
What I found interesting in that interview with Meredith in Oct 2009, Meredith said that Jon wanted a 90 day 'stay' or pause in the procedings to work out and mediate the situation. She asked if TFW would consider it. TFW hemmed and hawed and made up an excuse. She didn't want to fix anything. She wanted to continue to play the put-upon victim. Jon was willing to work things out (and I believe more than once). Meredith even said Jon wanted to apologize. TFW refused to acknowledge it.
TFW deserves every ounce of crap that has been flung at her through comments on a myriad of websites in the past two weeks as a result of her 'I'm a different person/where are they now' People interview and now with this SLAPP lawsuit.
Karma is a B*tch.

I found this interesting bit on a website regarding SLAPP suits:
" They succeed because most defendants don’t understand their First Amendment rights. They succeed because most defendants don’t know a First Amendment lawyer. They succeed because most defendants don’t have the money to fund a lawsuit. They succeed because many jurisdictions don’t have an effective anti-SLAPP statute. They succeed because many lawyers who care about the First Amendment aren’t in the position to do pro bono work, or worry that they don’t know the issues well enough or that it will take too much time. They succeed because the American legal system is, for the most part, set up to make it easy for plaintiffs to extort defendants without significant risk."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So here is in a nutshell what Jon and Robert are up against. PA has a very limited Anti-SLAPP law which does not apply to their circumstance. Randazza is noted as a First Amendment attorney but will file a SLAPP suit in a heartbeat. With high profile clients like Jon and Robert, I hope some big gun PA attorney takes their case pro bono to make an example of SLAPP abuse and the need to pass stricter anti-SLAPP law in PA.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... Very interesting.
TFW had better get busy. There are many, many people that had to sign CA's. Time to send out mass emails- to make sure they are all on her side.
Does she WANT to be single forever? It sure seems like it - no man with an ounce of sense would tangle with someone like that.
It's a completely unrelated case about creditors, but in a CA appellate case that came out today an attorney got slammed for bringing a suit that subjected the other party to a "long, costly and completely meritless lawsuit."

OMG! Really?! The blatant hypocrisy astounds.
How can they not see it?
Kate didn't conspire with BV?
Kate didn't just file a lawsuit naming her ex as Defendant?
Kate didn't go on national t.v. claiming her ex stole money?
Kate didn't side with TLC when they sued her ex?
Kate didn't allow defamatory comments about her ex on her twitter timeline?
Really? Kate never tried to destroy her ex?
Holy Crap.
Kate has lighted the tinder bundle under a very self-destructive fire.
She doesn't realize she is the one tied to the stake.
I was involved in a lawsuit in KY. As to SOL, the law there states "when you knew or should have known" that such and such event took place.
That "should have known" adds a new dimension to
it, IMO.
So, if PA has the same wording, if TFW's lawyers are insisting that a hard drive was taken (and not just discs kept in the garage, tossed out) then TFW "should have known" within a week that her hard drive was gone. And that's when she should have called the police re: theft, letting them decide if it was actual theft or a husband taking what is his.
She "should have known" that same week.
Dmasy great analogy.
This backfired like nobody's business and she has no idea what hit her.
Here's what I found regarding the Statute of Limitations in PA.
http://law.onecle.com/pennsylvania/judiciary-and-judicial-procedure/00.055.025.000.html
(b) Special provisions.--An action subject to section 8315
(relating to damages in actions for identity theft) must be commenced within four years of the date of the offense or four years from the date of the discovery of the identity theft by the plaintiff.
Then the date she discovered it will be crucial and something everyone will be fighting about, and if she doesn't have a reasonable explanation why she didn't discover it until after August 27, 2009, a judge may deem that not credible and kick the whole thing for an expired SOL.
I think this is one time Jon needs to fight fire with fire. He needs, or his attorney needs, to get out there too so Kate doesn't blanket the media with her side. It's just too late to be silent for the kids. Jon and Robert are fighting for everything and for once, I'd like to see Kate held accountable for her actions.
Well, if she did this to get attention, it's certainly worked. If you Google her name, it shows that hundreds of news organizations are reporting on the story. However, all this media attention still won't get her the TV show she so desperately wants.
It looks like she is really losing it. She has whipped herself into such a frenzy that she's not seeing straight. I think it's safe to say that nothing in her life is going the way she wants it to go. She was supposed to become rich and famous as a result of having those kids. She never considered the fact that the fame and the money wouldn't last. Now she's stuck in a small town in PA, divorced, alone, and unable to restart her "career". She has this image in her mind of herself in CA, living in a house like Kendra's, eternal sunshine, starring in movies and TV shows and basking in the glory of fame. But, of course, that's not her life. Who can she blame? It can't be her fault. It must be Jon's! He has ruined her life. It's just not possible that people got sick of her. It's not possible that she became known for her bad behavior. Oh, no, it's bad old Jon and his dastardly friend who are keeping her from the life she so richly deserves. She will skip into court, tell her sad story, and everything will go her way. Jon and Hoffman will be thrown in jail and she will finally be recognized as the most amazing-ish person on the planet. The red carpets will be rolled out, crowds will cheer for her wherever she goes, and she will be swamped with more show biz projects than she could ever sort through.
Sure, that's what'll happen...
Just watched Access Hollywood and Kate's attorney Razzmatazz or whatever his name is said all Kate wants is for Jon to know that if he broke it he bought it. Now just what in the hell is he talking about. The man is surely no Marty Singer.

What in the world? What the hell does that mean?
So basically, he admits it's just about proving a point. Whatever crazy, delusional, non sensical point THAT IS.
For God sake she should sit down with him and do both individual and conjoint therapy to help her understand her, quite frankly, crazy and mentally unstable need to prove such ridiculous points to him.
What does she want really? Would an apology from him do it? Would a public statement admitting he broke it he bought it do it? What does she WANT???
I know there are some people here who have also worked with the mentally ill.
When asked things like what do you want or why are you doing this, the mentally ill might often make a nonsensical, odd, delusional statement like "I just want him to know if he broke it he bought it." You can't really understand their motivations or fit them on any kind of normal spectrum because their motivations aren't NORMAL.
Really, she needs help. No, not joking. For the sake of her children I really wish she would get help.
In an ID theft case I'm familiar with the Feds won't arrest anyone because they cannot know with certainly who did the hacking. If more than one other person COULD have had access to the computer, there is no way to prove who did what and who did nothing. Therefore, there have been no charges filed.
TFW had her friends staying in her room, house keepers, nannies, who knows who all COULD have
gone to her computer and hacked, especially if she had her passwords on little PostIt notes stuck to her desktop. While the kids slept, anybody could have done anything. While TFW was gone on a trip, anybody could have done anything. Since Jon was not the only other adult in that house who was a computer user, there may be no proof.
I suspect what happened was that at some point, Jon upgraded the hard drive to one with more memory. He backed the old drive onto the new one and probably didn't bother to erase the old hard drive.
Now if you are the wife of a computer engineer (like me), you probably have boxes and boxes of old, out dated cords, power supplies, cables, Zip drives, mice, or even hard drives. I suspect Jon had the hard drive amongst his computer stuff. Now, whether he gave the hard drive to Robert or not is anyone's guess.
But no where in the complaint did I read that the hard drive came from her computer. It was just a hard drive.
I think given that Jon likely handled the computer/technology stuff in their house, Kate's assertion that Jon was never given permission to use her passwords or logins is false. Kate's lawyer should have said "at no time since the separation was Jon given permission to use Kate's accounts".
My husband is somewhat familiar with Randazza's work and he said he finds it highly unlikely the complaint was written by him. It's not professional enough.
I guess this lawsuit shows TFW living out her
mantra of Positivity! Block the haterz and come join the fun! #SuperFunLawsuit
My take on the pawns on the new book cover is that the two not illuminated or placed 'just so' are the twins, and the other six are, well, the true pawns in the debacle (no six = no show = no fame for TFW)

Does anyone think that some of this action of TFWs is also coming because a few of the children want to be with Jon and TFW is stating her 'broke it/bought it' message as a response. As in 'you broke this family, you now have to pay'?
Thinking and over-thinking - again. (I need a better hobby)
You ladies are truly amazing with your knowledge on just about everything. I hope that J & R read here and are learning as much as I am.
Fido I think you are 100% correct about the proof. You know the reality is the authorities investigate countless crimes but only really file charges on a few. If you can't prove it, it's not worth wasting the public's time and money.
Like I said though, what Kate failed to realize is that even if each and every little grievance she holds against Jon is true, people STILL want her to go away. It's like she literally could not contemplate how anyone wouldn't be on her side once they saw the truth. She doesn't get it. She just doesn't get it.
This is rather like when you bump into an old elementary school classmate who used to bully you. It's 20, 30, 50 years later. Often times, you just sort of laugh about it, shake hands, and end up perhaps even going to lunch. It would be silly to hold a grudge against that person and even sillier to continue to give them a hard time. We all have things in the past that were painful but to hold onto anything but the most heinous of grievances doesn't make you feel good and is just bad for your mental health.
Even parents of a child who is tragically killed are often quite willing to forgive the person who did it. And they of all people have every right to be angry the rest of these days. And yet time after time, watch the news and you hear from so many of these brave people, I've forgiven the killer, I don't hate them, I've moved on from them. My child would want me to forgive. What would the Gosselin kids say? Would they want Kate to forgive? I think so.
If even many of those parents recognize that it's just not healthy to go on hating that person even despite a MURDER, it just seems downright silly to continue to hate someone over a stupid hard drive or disks. And the public saw it, and has spoken.
You ladies are truly amazing with your knowledge on just about everything

You got me. I truly don't understand this analogy. Huh? Does she mean, you "messed up" by taking this stuff (and a million other things), now you have to deal with the lawsuit?
That's just such an odd thing to say from her attorney. It makes no sense.
I really hope she is not implying he "broke" the family. Because if I'm not mistaken, it was Katie Irene Gosselin who filed for divorce, not Jon, who rather, was desperate to try to fix the marriage through serious therapy and so on, and that information is widely available and verifiable.
So, did Kate's attorney say anything sensible during his AH interview, or was it all just cryptic like his "you broke it, you buy it"?
Like I said though, what Kate failed to realize is that even if each and every little grievance she holds against Jon is true, people STILL want her to go away. It's like she literally could not contemplate how anyone wouldn't be on her side once they saw the truth. She doesn't get it. She just doesn't get it.

No one is perfect, and I'm sure we can all think of something that our father did we did not agree with. But would we want THIS to be the punishment? If you're really honest, probably no.

==================
I thought he meant that Jon broke the trust. That is, her secrets, her privacy, her journals, and whatever else he knew that she believed should never have been opened up for public consumption. It fits with the whole hacking/ID theft allegations.Therefore, because he did that, he will have to be punished.
Kate is Disgusting said... 43
The complaint states that all parties reside in Eastern Pennsylvania and that John and Jane Does were involved in hacking and wiretapping. This has nothing to do with Twitter haters.
Lawyers use the John and Jane Does to include anyone whose name comes up in Discovery. There aren't 20 more people being sued. It's a lawyers way of covering all their bases.
============================================
This^^^. The sheep are convinced that 20 haters from PA are being sued.
They are also under the mistaken belief that this is a criminal matter. This is a civil case. If any actual crime had been committed, I do believe TFW would have rather had Jon charged criminally (free- slight chance he might see fines & jail time) than go through this mess. It doesn't appear that she was successful in getting the interest of law enforcement. So she had to settle for a frivolous SLAPP suit.

Fleecing-
Your comment reminded me of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAirhYBc3gE
When I was a child and did not quite understand a whole lot, my father entered into a legal battle over the ownership of a business with his older brother. It took financial resources he/we did not have, forced the rest of his family to take sides (not his for the most part), and did not end well. It quite literally destroyed my father. I have no knowledge or contact with that side of my family.
So watching the mega bitch KG enter into yet another legal sparring war with the father of her children resonates with me in a way that perhaps makes me understand why I still come here to read about her. She is engaged in a process that could very easily destroy her children's lives, and for what? Bitter, bitter revenge? I only hope that it ends here and she finally is stopped, if only by the courts. She has no insight into her behavior, and will not listen to anyone, not that there are even people in her life who might be able to talk to her. As said above, she really, really needs help. Medical, psychological, take a number.

It's just amazing how many times we've explained the difference between civil and criminal and they still sit there and talk about jail time. I had no idea the concept was so difficult. They don't even teach it in law school I think they just assume you must already understand it just from old episodes of Law and Order.

Now this is funny.
Remember a while back, in an interview, Jon said something about going to jail. (The media reported what he said incorrectly. ) I don't remember what he said exactly, but there was video of it.
I wonder if this is what he was alluding to.
And since then things have changed, and he knows that he doesn't have to fear jail time. As in civil charges are not crimnal charges. Monetary damages yes, jail time no.
my final thoughts on this topic for tonight. I honestly believe that Kate got word that Robert was about to re-release "THE BOOK" and that's why she filed this suit. I mean if she has been so harmed why didn't she take action back in 2009 when her own Attorney at the time stated she was aware of the alleged acts. The only thing she did was when the first release came out was get TLC involved and THEY got the book removed until the courts paved the way for it's release or not. That seemed to quiet the beast(Kate) for a while. But, how dare Robert go ahead and do some revisions that protect TLC contracts, etc. and plan a relaunch of that awful book. How dare he do that to the high and mighty Katie Irene. I think she is running scared because she knows this book will eventually come out and she is pulling out all the stops to prevent that from happening. Personally, I think she has lost what's left of her mind and her dignity.

I think the destruction began the day she sold her family out to Figure 8 Production Company. I don't recall her ever putting the kids' well-being ahead of anything. She has two things on her brain - money and fame - and because she lacks the talent to recite the alphabet, she had to find a way get them both. The children provided the vehicle to get that.
The only saving grace left for that family is if Jon doesn't dis their mother when they are visiting him. I hope he is mature enough to hold his tongue about her. Then, even if they get the message subliminially, they will know who is really the one who is looking out for them. All the money in the world doesn't buy love and fame is fleeting. Kate will never see it that way.

Where I live, the teachers want you to label everything! You don't have to put their name in blazing colors where everyone can see them. I put my kids names inside the backpack or their initials under the strap, initials inside the lunch box and initials on the labels inside their coats. Many kids have the same or similar jackets, etc. This helps the kids to make sure they have the correct belongings.
If Milo switches to pestering Deanna that would be so hysterical. Deanna will rue the day she got involved with TFW.
I guess at least Deanna has a real job and such.
I don't care about hits, however I saw the stats when logging into blogger and noticed our hits are about three times what they normally are this week.
This is when TFW just doesn't think. She brought far more attention to her misdeeds through this little stunt than she ever did to anything good.
The child abuse was a forgotten memory by all but the Gosselin aficionados. Now, it's back on the airwaves and you can bet many people are asking, hmm what's that about? And searching for more info. Probably even winding up here some of the time.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if his book gets published and is a runaway hit. A lot of people will buy it to see what all the fuss was over and propel it into a best seller. If that happens I think the only proper thing for Robert to do is send Kate a than you note. Because if not for her most people wouldn't know anything about the book.

Oh yeah they'll remember them alright CUZ IT'S ON VIDEO AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET...which will come in mighty handy when they're writing their books and consulting their attorneys.
The child abuse was a forgotten memory by all but the Gosselin aficionados. Now, it's back on the airwaves and you can bet many people are asking, hmm what's that about?
----------
Yes. Just think how many people watched Fox today and heard The Spanker comments.
Re Milo : oh, no, she's back in full on gag. Commented - about Kate's putting little notes in their binder- how lucky the kids are to have a mother who , forgot the exact words, shows them love in so many little ways. She also apologized to kate for not being around when kate was on twitter. Guess she hasn't noticed that she hasn't gotten a word from kate in weeks, including during her hubby's surgery, the woman milo is harassing is not deana, it is someone from Australia. Milo has nagged her before - where r u- and Australia responded that she was busy living life and had several kids with disabilities. Now Australia seems to have deleted her twitter. Sigh. I don't know this much about my own neighbors !
Also, is there any way we can contribute to a legal fund for Jon and Robert? admin? .
I can't even imagine holding all this rage for all these years. This happened four years ago, two law firms plus police have shot her down and she's still seeking vengeance. It's nasty and I'm surprised she hasn't gotten sick yet from all the hatefulness. I won't be surprised when it happens
So how has Milo spun this 'The Spanker' business? Is she still going on about how the journals weren't true??
Just watched Access Hollywood and Kate's attorney Razzmatazz or
whatever his name is said all Kate wants is for Jon to know that if he
broke it he bought it. 71
My take on this is that when Jon tried to stop the filming (but
didn't: remember kate plus 8, katie?) He "broke" her plan of filming
until the kids were all 18 (as if) and must pay.

Now that it seems that the journals are going to come out again, they have jumped over not true, and straight into Jon and/or Robert CHANGED the journals. Of course Robert has said over and over that the disks they were taken from have not been changed and he has proof of that....but what does the truth have to do with anything TFMJG and/or her fans have to say?
Rhymes I said that to antagonize my hater and it did. hahahhahaha two can play at that game.

It's just amazing how many times we've explained the difference between civil and criminal and they still sit there and talk about jail time. I had no idea the concept was so difficult. They don't even teach it in law school I think they just assume you must already understand it just from old episodes of Law and Order.

Reminds me of a saying by the comedian Ron White. Something like, "You can fix ugly, but stupid goes all the way down to the bone."

Sleepless, so glad you got a great deal on Oreos! I found some peeps in the cupboard! Way too old to eat but cute to look at.
Admin, thank YOU for this great blog with so many Super Fun Posters! Knowledgeable too!
PS TFMJG did something mildly interesting today, but essentially she is still boring and will be overlooked in favor of #SuperFunSpanker discussion.
Also lawsuits take time and are mostly boring with waiting. So for anyone bored I can still give a virtual tour of state and national parks with alligators and crocodiles. Yes, there are some American crocodiles in Florida, however I never got close enough to learn how to tell the difference. Or we can go on virtual vacation. Or we can find the absolute best banana bread recipe ever! And debate the age old question: nuts or no nuts?
Don't forget #SuperFunLegalDefenseFund! I will contribute and I will bet there are quite a few readers of this blog and the news stories who will contribute.

Hey, Milo. It'll be mornin when you see this since LOM has you safely tucked in your bed by now, visions of vanilla ice cream dancin in your head. You just ought to come over for a visit, ask some questions, learn some stuff, we'll be easy on you, honest.
Totally Off Topic for you Netflix watchers, if you like mysteries I'd recommend "The Fall." It takes place in Ireland, a tad gruesome but not overly so. Just a well put-together story with some good acting. Have I said lately how much I love Netflix?!
Guess she hasn't noticed that she hasn't gotten a word from kate in weeks, including during her hubby's surgery, the woman milo is harassing is not deana, it is someone from Australia.

----------------------
Yes, I know the person she just tweeted was the fan in Australia, the one who met Kate there. I guess I didn't word it very well. She has been tweeting Deanna all along, which I what I said. She deletes so many of the tweets, but she did tweet her several days ago wondering where she is.
I wonder if Abner knows how far Gladys goes in her penchant for pestering.
Guess tomorrow is the last day of summer 2013 vacation for the G8. Did she do anything with them, go anywhere? And I don't mean maybe taking the twins to see her sister months ago. Were they seen at a movie theatre, a museum, anyplace other than Chipotle? Guess she couldn't figure out a day trip to a park or a beach. What a shame.
It sure is amazing how fast information flows on the internet, so many people who are commenting about TFW's lawsuit, wishing she would just fly away already, and wanting to know the contents of Robert's first book, excited that he will be putting out a new one. Yes, so many of you are so right, she is calling major attention to Robert's first book, what a dumb-ass thing to do. She has painted a big red bulls-eye on her plastic chest, all the attention she wants is turning out to be the negative kind.
My husband bought a small commercial ice-cream maker, it is amazing to be able to concoct any kind we can imagine. He said it is because of our 5 grandchildren, but he has a wicked sweet tooth himself. Tonight I made a Raspberry Coconut blend, with a little Cream Cheese to make it a bit tangy, and it is really good! I am going to get a dish of it, and re-read Robert's first book again, getting ready for the second one. Goodnight all:)

------
Is that a thing?
A job for TFW! Working in a school cafeteria, monitoring the portions...
"Students in a rural Kentucky county — and their parents — are the latest to join a growing national chorus of scorn for the healthy school lunches touted by first lady Michelle Obama.
“They say it tastes like vomit,” said Harlan County Public Schools board member Myra Mosley at a contentious board meeting last week, reports The Harlan Daily Enterprise.
The growing body of USDA meal regulations implemented by the Department of Agriculture under the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010″ has long been a signature issue for the first lady.
Denizens of Harlan County don’t much care, though. Their primary concern at the board meeting was a bevy of complaints that local children are starving at lunch — and for the remainder of the school day — because the food on offer in the cafeteria is crappy and there isn’t nearly enough of it.
“Kids can’t learn when they’re hungry!” parents shouted to the board, according to the Enterprise.
Other gripes involved the new bread, which students don’t want to eat because it’s brown wheat bread, and the new milk, which is skim or one percent fat, not two percent or whole. The cafeteria’s chocolate- and strawberry-flavored milk offerings are now nonfat.
Jack Miniard, the school district’s director of school and community nutrition, was on hand to explain that the federal government now governs both food choices and portion sizes in most American school districts including Harlan County.
Under the National School Lunch Program, Under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, participating schools must provide lunches — including free or reduced price lunches — with minimum amounts of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and whole grains. Also, in what presumably falls outside the hunger-free aspect of the act, there’s a calorie cap: 850 for high school lunches, 700 for middle schools and a mere 650 calories for kids in elementary school.
Students can only have one serving of meat or other protein. However, rich kids can buy a second portion each day on their own dime.
Servings of carbohydrates such as potatoes are limited to just a single serving of three-fourths of a cup per student.
On the plus side, students can eat as many fruits and vegetables as they want.
Across the country, students and parents have expressed dissatisfaction with the federal government’s new food regime. Some wealthier suburban school districts are simply backing out of the National School Lunch Program, though doing so can mean giving up a six-figure annual subsidy for the district"
I would really, really love to hear TFW enumerate the work she has lost because of Robert's book. Did she have real deals snatched away?
Is that what finally happened to Twist of TFW?
I really do fear for the kids' safety if this does not go TFW's way. I believe that she is will lose it--Revenge seems to be her only reason for living--what will be her next move?
How sad that the kids have to deal with this on their first day of school. The twins must be absolutely mortified. I'm glad to see the humor here--but, mostly I am just very sad.
Hey, Everyone ~ Rarely post, but I read everday.
I cannot believe Kate has filed this lawsuit. I believe she hates Jon, blames him for all that has gone wrong, blah blah blah. I know she acts before she thinks. I know she's used bad judgement. But I never thought she was completely stupid which is what this lawsuit seem to be, IMO.
I can't believe that she's so vengeful that she can't see that this is drawing attention to the very thing she wants to be rid of, but apparently she is. It is worrisome.
I think the new book cover is fantastic! I didn't get to buy it before, but I'm definitely going to get it as soon as Robert re-releases it.
After looking at the new book cover again I think the red on the innocent pawns is "blood" instead of a reflection.
I also noticed that the left and right sides of the circle are mirror images. ?????

Is that a sheep? Sounds like someone egging her on :)
I can't even imagine holding all this rage for all these years. This happened four years ago, two law firms plus police have shot her down and she's still seeking vengeance. It's nasty and I'm surprised she hasn't gotten sick yet from all the hatefulness. I won't be surprised when it happens
********************************************
This is fuel for a narcissist. I think the fact that she's had so many "yes" people, big time YES people, her vengeance has grown to such a scale. If there were not multiples, no show, no $, she'd still be TFW from hell.
I think she is running scared because she knows this book will eventually come out and she is pulling out all the stops to prevent that from happening.
************************************************
Makes me sick how she'd lecture the audience, in her holier than though attitude, black bottomed feet on the table, flirtatious smiles to the camera guy, etc, about discipline, cooking, organizing, couponing, budgeting...blah blah blah...all the while she's confessing in her diary about being frightened she's going to SERIOUSLY hurt her kids, getting her "organic" meals from a CHEF, negotiating contracts in the THOUSANDS...blah blah blah...MAKES ME SICK! (sorry for the grammar and run on)
Even parents of a child who is tragically killed are often quite willing to forgive the person who did it.
********************************************
So true! This always amazes me if I read or hear about such a selfless act.
I cannot help but to believe that this was all carefully orchestrated by Kate and McGibney many months ago. She had to come out and claim she was bullied to provide a viable reason for their partnership. Did she pay the guy? What an incredibly devious plan ( sound familiar like getting pregnant with six?) I am telling you, our instincts about Kate Gosselin are on target. From mailing baby videos to cable companies to snare a contract to booting Jon out the marriage, I don't think any of it was by chance. Fascinating.
Oh, no, it's bad old Jon and his dastardly friend who are keeping her from the life she so richly deserves.
***********************************************8
My God, she blamed him for the kids cavities! Remember when the dentist told her that they need to improve on their brushing? "hmm, JON" shrugging and flapping. The dentist said to her "this is very common"
I wonder if Abner knows how far Gladys goes in her penchant for pestering.

Anyone who uses a name like "Firedup4Kate" as their Twitter name is a few bubbles off in my opinion. And the fake hick accent is just creepy. It's like she/he is trying to channel Larry the Cable Guy. But when you get him/her angry, she starts channeling Chucky.

Just watched. FINALLY someone is quoting HER words. Glad they used the word "spanker" so many times.
Nothing she does to try to destroy the father of her children surprises me anymore, nothing. Even Good Morning America laughed at the notion that she has a bad reputation from this book?!? Most people get it. Who on earth told her this was a good idea? What businessperson in their right mind is going to hire her with this baggage. Something struck me that Carrie Ann said, she honestly believed that Kate thought she was doing well dancing and that she had no self awareness of the reality. I think that is her downfall and you couple that with yes people who are ready willing and able to take your money, it is a big lose.......for the children. It is quite sad. Westbrooke
TFW's claiming the computer was worth $5K is a huge stretch. The only way to drop $5K on a computer is to buy either a workstation or a high-end gaming PC. So unless TFW has been spending her "working" hours doing computer-aided design or playing Gears of War on a machine rigged with a multi-monitor setup and multiple graphics cards, she's going to have a hard time collecting anything north of $1500 for a replacement computer.
On the you broke it, you bought it from the lawyer..I think he means Jon broke Kate's reputation, her ability to work. So therefore he bought it, or is being sued, and will have to give her the future money he made her lose?
OMG! Did anyone else watch Good Morning America this morning? It was hysterical. They had a segment on about Kate's lawsuit and the guy says "Kate is asking for an undisclosed sum because Jon ruined her reputation." I swear everyone on the panel were like WHAT! you mean since the book, not all that was seen on the reality show. They were basically laughing at her. If any way you can all see it it is priceless.
Jon said in his recent interview he has documentation to back up everything and that he has written a book but does not want to release it yet. Said that his book will sum up everything. This is Kate's fear that two books will damn her so she is going to stop at nothing to silence them. Perhaps she is using the suit as a tactic to get Jon to agree to never publish his book? My,my. She is desperate to hide something.
First day school picture probably will be posted soon, happy smiling faces, proof she is the best mom ever. Maybe even pap photos too today at the bus stop. Jon, stand firm. Don't let her turn the kids against you.
Its Wednesday, headlines today: Syria, Egypr, Yosemite fire, fiftieth anniversary of MLK I have a dream speech, second anniversary of hurricane Irene hitting USA, Red Sox beat Baltimore Orioles, twitter and new York times got hacked by Syria. Entertainment news:
Still discussion about Miley Cyrus raunchy performance at VMA awards and that was last Sunday. Ben Affleck will be new Batman and Bryan Cranston will be new Lex Luthor. Kardashians!
Nope, nothing about TFMJG or the cookbook. So much for publicity. The generic entertainment watching public gets bored when you do the same song and dance year after year. The poor me tour was already done, no one is interested now. no one wants any pap photos either.
Will a photo of TFMJG now be next to dictionary definition of FAIL?
Bryan Cranston will be new Lex Luthor
***********************************************
perfect casting!
TFW has a lot of young fans. I wish she would teach them better ways to approach and live life. For instance, YOU make your own destiny. No one else can stop you. No one else is responsible for what happens to you but you. Don't waste time blaming others, focus on what YOU can change.
This idea that Jon is stopping her from anything is delusional, paranoid, and most of all, pathetic.
For instance, YOU make your own destiny. No one else can stop you. No one else is responsible for what happens to you but you. Don't waste time blaming others, focus on what YOU can change
**********************************************
Sounds like all those platitudes that she was twitting...whatever happened to that? hmmmm
Good Morning American now too?!
She has become a laughing stock. People are laughing AT her not with her. Her paranoia and delusion is so bizarre people just laugh.
She pushed it one too many times and the public turned on her. Wouldn't this be mortifying for a normal person?
Oooh, sorry Kate. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones announces their split today.
Oh that's too bad. I wonder if his implication she gave him HPV had anything to do with it!
Jon is being stalked by Kate. Can't he get some sort of restraining order against her, where she is not allowed to mention his name in public, or in print? Why should she be allowed to throw him under the bus year after year like she does, when he has chosen to lead a non public life? She is making his life a misery, and he has no recourse? If she wants to sue, it should be done in private. He needs a gag order to make her shut up.

TLC I 100% agree. This was all calculated with its own set of ulterior motives. The problem is as the years go by she loses it more and more, the longer she goes without help for her mental illness(es) she becomes more unhinged, and doesn't have her regular handles around with more level heads (she's gone from more grounded and rational people at TLC and Steve who said she couldn't have Nobu, to McGibblets). What's next, suing her own kids? Maybe there's a tort out there for not being cute enough anymore to be on T.V. The tort of mediocrity?

**********************************************
He didn't mean HER did he? I thought he said he got it from performing...well...THE deed! lol
Nothing to laugh at though....
Oops sorry I thought that was the video
I don't think he meant her, but I think the comment was highly embarrassing for her because it could have been taken that way, given they've been together for so long.
How's this for speculation?
I read today that Star magazine (I know, I know!) is revealing 3 contestants who have reportedly signed on to do DWTS this season, including Snooki, Jack Osbourne and another young chippie I've never heard of.
So, maybe Jon was being considering for DWTS and Kate's trying to keep him so wrapped up in a lawsuit, that she basically forces him to forfeit his opportunity.
Didn't Jon bring up Kate's never being at home for the kids when she was doing DWTS and try to shift custody then? I just remember her boohooing in a big-ass limo, sitting there like a lump and being handled by Steve to put her big girl panties on.
What's next, suing her own kids? Maybe there's a tort out there for not being cute enough anymore to be on T.V. The tort of mediocrity?
************************************************
That WILL be the next chapter
Hey Remona :) I only got as far as your comment so maybe someone helped you with the link for the new book cover. What I did was use my mouse to highlight it (just the link, nothing extra) and then right click (could be left on your computer) and from the drop down bar I chose to open it. Hope that helps. If someone else already got to this, sorry! I'm on my way out to work so couldn't read all the fantastic (per the norm) comments here.
Anyone who uses a name like "Firedup4Kate" as their Twitter name is a few bubbles off in my opinion.

Yes, but I bet when she came up with that she never figured it would be shortened to FU!
Oh speaking of suing your kids I heard that Shirley McClaine's daughter is sort of cow towing now and being wishy washy about all the dirt she revealed about her mom. I don't know if she's really taken it back but she's definitely acting like well maybe I exaggerated. I believe what she said the first time, and I fear her mother may have threatened or blackmailed her to get her to take this all back.
That's probably what TFW would do if the kids ever speak out until they agree to retract it.

For left coasters, GMA just started.
By the way many of the things Sachie said occurred when there were witnesses around, notably her best friend was around quite a bit. So Shirley can make her take it back all she wants, but there were witnesses.
How far into the show is the segment on GMA?
Label said... 102
I agree with what you are saying about marking things discreetly but that stuckonyou.com website has all kinds of cutesy labels to put on the outside of bags, boxes, etc. Those sort of labels I think I wrong to do.
The Kate segment on GMA is 1 Hour and 13 minutes into the show.
Welcome, Daphne!
Ex Nurse I have the same concerns about what will happen if...WHEN this doesn't work out for her.
She really seems to becoming unhinged, like Betty Broderick slowly did over time, over many years. Each behavior was more and more outrageous until it ended it tragedy. I'm not saying it's going that way, but it's certainly not going in a very positive direction, that's for sure.
Tucker's Mom said... 163
Yes Jon said she was being an absentee mom cause she was spending so much time in LA/NY.
So of course in KK style she made Tony come to her after she installed a dance floor in the basement.
Terri, I saw GMA! It was great!
They started by showing clips of her nagging Jon half to death and giving her trademark dirty, nasty looks, then they juxtaposed it with Kate's claim that the book damaged her reputation. They were all laughing and saying, Oh, so THAT'S what caused it." She is a joke. The entire panel was laughing at her in a very derisive manner. She is hated and they don't have to pretend anymore. It was wonderful to see them done with the ass-kissing and letting their real feelings show, in a way that can only be done when they know it's over for her.
They showed a short blurb from Randazza talking about discovery but they didn't even mention his name. He won't be getting a name for himself from this joke of a case. Oh, and no mention of the crazy one who started this whole thing with Kate. He thought his lawyer would work magic for Kate instead he is a laughingstock.
I thought about the Betty Broderick case when this hit. She will never be able to make lightning strike twice because SHE blew it. Blaming Jon, hating Jon etc is just not going to give her the opportunities she had at the beginning. If ever anyone needed a life reset button, it is her. Westbrooke

A job for TFW! Working in a school cafeteria, monitoring the portions...
Amanda, Iowa says................
Yeah, no that wouldn't work, lunchtime is not nearly long enough for letting kids pick up their plates of food one by one. I seriously wonder how all those hundreds of kids in schools survive getting in line for their lunches while by (organized) Khate her 8! kids cant seem to get their food from the kitchen-counter without trampling and backing up into eachother?!?
GMA said it is a federal lawsuit?
She said Dan Broderick abused her and then used his legal connections to crush her as their marriage broke up.
"The family hates these lies because Dan was about as honorable and wonderful a guy as you would want to meet," said his brother Larry. "There are hundreds of people out there who feel the same way about him. All he wanted to do was get away from this woman."
Betty Broderick's diaries were read in court, and Dan's answering machine tapes were played -- including one in which their son pleaded with his mother to stop using "bad words" about his father. The couple's oldest daughter, Kimberly, testified that her mother told her she hated the girl's father.
"The part that nobody sees is it was already five years later on the timeline," Sachs said. "She's getting 16 grand a month and a nice house in La Jolla, and it's time to move on."
Mental health experts for the defense said Broderick was depressed; prosecution experts said she was a narcissist. In several media interviews after the trials, Broderick continued to portray herself as the victim.
The parallels are creepy: Hated their father even though normal people thought he was a nice guy, had a very nice life with money and a nice house but still couldn't be happy and content, COULDN'T MOVE ON from what happened even 5 years later, narcissism. TFW needs to stop and get therapy. It's not going to end in murder God forbid, but that doesn't mean there aren't lessons to be learned from Betty Broderick. If SHE had gotten help maybe this wouldn't have happened. The reality is it's probably not going to end well in some form, if this continues without TFW getting help.
Ok once again :-).....YES it's a federal suit---it was filed in federal court most likely because they want the option of joining parties to it who don't necessarily live in PA. Federal court is not special, it's just what is necessary to do when you've got multiple jurisdictions potentially involved. It in no way means "the feds" are suing anyone. It's simply the most logical forum to file. If it were just Kate suing her neighbor, they would go down to their local court because that's not complicated like this is. It's STILL a civil suit and there are no authorities or jail time or feds involved, period.
Oh and as far as I'm concerned suing the children's father is part of this "not ending well." This is not ending well. And it needs to stop before something worse happens.

Wasn't it stated somewhere that the John Does live in eastern Pennsylvania? Wouldn't that mean that it isn't necessary to file in federal court? I'm not sure where I read that, but if the complaint states that their names and addresses are unknown, then how to do they know that they are all from PA?
Oh and as far as I'm concerned suing the children's father is part of this "not ending well." This is not ending well. And it needs to stop before something worse happens.
***********88
Well, yes, I can't see how it can get much worse than this.

I believe there are probably both federal and state hacking and identity theft laws that would apply here. For whatever strategic reasons, they are attacking this under federal law. Most likely, because if any of it didn't occur in PA's jurisdiction, they're still covered. It's still a civil case.
Unfortunately, personality disorders are part of who the person is. It would be like trying to change the color of her eyes. Her personality is toxic and destroys everyone in her path. The only way to protect yourself is to stay far away. Unfortunately, eight kids and their father have to deal with her, at least until they're adults. Can you imagine family weddings, grandchildren's birthdays? This is a true tragedy.
They started by showing clips of her nagging Jon half to death and giving her trademark dirty, nasty looks, then they juxtaposed it with Kate's claim that the book damaged her reputation. They were all laughing and saying, Oh, so THAT'S what caused it." She is a joke. The entire panel was laughing at her in a very derisive manner. She is hated and they don't have to pretend anymore.

But how can that be? Her fans (particularly Chief Executive Ewe) are convinced that everyone all over the world loves her. I guess everyone except GMA, Fox News, etc. etc., who are all just dumb haters.
Has this always been at the top of Robert's new cover?

It definitely does not paint her in a good light.
I guess now GMA is just a hater too.
Razamataze is being even more wishy washy this morning. Did you see the part where he said they claim they got the info from the trash and we look forward to exploring that in discovery?
What does that mean? What happened to, oh there's no way he could have gotten this from the trash the documents were too numerous? Now we're going to "explore" the possibility? LOL. Wait, wouldn't that throw the whole thing out if when they explore this in discovery, it comes out it actually did come from the trash just like he said? Like I said, lawsuits should always be taken seriously, but it's hard not to notice what a total joke this has become.
This might be a stupid question or already answered, but why would TFW sue Jon civiilly and not criminally for the ID theft and hacking charges? Is it because maybe she has some conscience and doesn't want to send him to jail but just hurt him monetarily? Or is it easier to sue civilly?

I saw an interview a few years ago with Betty Broderick's youngest son. He said he still loves his mom but gets exhausted visiting her because after all these years, she still rages about Dan when he visits her. He said he doesn't get it at all. He's dead, she killed him, and all these years later she still talks as if she is the victim and is full of hatred towards the father of her children.
He even mentioned saying to her "he's dead, what more do you want" but gets nothing but rage in return. Sad, sad story.

I have gotten a tip via email that GMA may be doing more stories on this thing, so keep an eye out in future days.
