In the second time this month a major media outlet has discussed the Gosselin twin's appearance last January on the Today show, Paul Petersen has spoken out to Yahoo T.V. The child advocate and former child star had this to say about the twins' "choking" on national T.V.:
""That was the most frightening example of the damage being done to these kids. They were incoherent. They couldn't say what they really felt. They'd been turned into these performing seals, and not for their own benefit. If they had at least been child actors, they would have a support group of similar kids. I think this is doing tremendous long-term damage — the kind of damage that you really don't see until 10 years later."

| Osmond |
Just last week, the hosts of The Talk, two of whom are former child stars, had similar criticism for the appearance. describing the twins as "shell-shocked" and "overwhelmed." Marie Osmond added, "As a parent, you need to look at your children's needs individually. I saw that Today show. Those girls didn't want to be on T.V. They shouldn't be on T.V. and that should be her responsibility as a mother."
Thank you Paul, Marie, Sara Gilbert and other former child stars who give these children a voice. You know better than anyone the dangers here. Of all people, Kate should listen to you.

Several months ago, I needed to buy some power tools. Went to Kate's coupon site - not much there. She did not even link to it from her main site. Why not?
&&&&&&&&&&
Bill, like the lawsuit, the coupon site was only invented so Kate would have something to talk about during her book tour talk show appearances. When the tour was over and the book officially bombed, she abandoned both. I don't believe the coupon site was ever fully functional.

@Kateplusmy8 are you still in touch with Beth and other old family friends???
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 24 Dec 2011
@aslagter9 yes... Have amazing supportive friends u may not c but r here :)
Gasp! Could Kate have been lying when she tweeted that? But Kate always tells the truth, doesn't she?
Gotcha, Kate!!
I wonder if Beth and Bob had to sign an NDA.

I'm sure they did. I would imagine the janitor who cleaned the church they attended had to, too. Probably the little boy down the lane and anyone who might have breathed the same frickin' air as the delusional megalomaniac.

No, no. NJgal! I am sorry, I should of made my self clearer. If I made you feel sad, I am truly sorry. It was completely unintentional. I would never be spiteful in that way to anyone ever. As soon as I hit publish, I thought, I should of put who the House Mother is!
The House Mother is Admin! lol like we were making noise with the candy posts and we are all in the dorm and it is late and we might wake her up!
I got the House Mother reference off a tv show and I am racking my brain trying to figure which show I heard it on.,
This puts a whole new spin on her manic "real friends" twitter rant. What if she knew this was fixing to come out?
Someone on here checked for police records on Jon -- Admin, maybe? not too long ago. I believe that, other than a couple of paid parking tickets, nothing was found. No speeding tickets, no DUIs, nothing.
I'm glad that Beth is coming out now with her side of the story. It has the ring of truth, and given the way TFMJG has treated the other people who used to be in her life, is not surprising. It will be interesting to see who else surfaces now.
kate stabbed her in the back. Se fed and sheltered the kids for WEEKS. Go Beth. Glad to hear she lawyered up to ensure she got her rightful cut. 184
Beth engaged in good business practices and made sure she got paid for her WORK.
I don't think it entered her mind that Katie was such a lowlife until Katie showed her.
I don't think she would have kept quiet about the abuse if she had been aware of it.
Years ago, Beth said she wasn't speaking for the sake of the children. Since so much has come out, I think this, as horrible as it was, is a drop in the bucket. I applaud her for speaking.
I also remember an article about MB in a local.paper (Reading Eagle?) about Beth ho was quoted as saying " she lived it, I wrote it.". IIRC this was before the split in Utah.
Everything seems to be unraveling for Kate now just as it did for Lance Armstrong. There came a point that bullying and intimidation tactics no longer worked for Lance and the truth came out. Yep, it does seem similar for Kate, doesn't it.
Articles about the book may not be on the front pages of mag rags nor mentioned on the View but more and more people are buying the book and coming forward perhaps because of the book. The initial flare-up may have died down but the coals are red-hot.

''Would moving solve anything? If a stalker is hell bent on finding someone, he would be so obsessed in tracking down that person that he would eventually find her.''

''She needs to:
1. Change her name.
2. Move far enough away that she and her ex are not likely to cross paths.
3. Stay the heck off of social media.
4. Avoid jobs, activities and hobbies in the public eye.''
~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT? Your list just stomped all over my very last nerve! Way to go...blaming the victim!
''She'' needs to do all these things when SHE is the one being stalked? Change HER name?
How about her making HIS (illegal) actions very public? How about HIM moving away and getting over his obsessive behavior? How about HE needs to have his stalking butt thrown in jail?
Good think that my brother isn't her brother. The stalker might find himself w/a bag of rattlesnakes over his head!
Stopping here before I say more and get in trouble w/Admin!
OK! just started reading from the bottom up and all this Beth speaking out has got me all happy:) Going to pour me a glass of wine and cozy up to the laptop and do some catching up
So...Beth watched *all* the kids for a week at a time, more than once apparently.
And Jodi watched all the kids multiple times.
TFW made Jon quit his job and stay home to watch the kids.
And then there were the crew daddies.
So.....when exactly was *TFW* watching them?
It seems like she was pawning them off on whoever she could, whenever she could.

Kate is a twit- I remember this tweet AND her response. And I recall thinking 'bullshit'.
Vindication is a good thing.
Time for the sheeple to remind us 'haterz', again, how we don't know what the hell we are talking about.
Come on sheeple, is that the best you got???
@Kateplusmy8 are the things Beth is saying true? You did seem like such great friends on the show
*******
Uh, they were great friends. So close, in fact, that J+K appointed Beth and Bob guardians of the family trust and of the children should something happen to them.
Can you imagine the hurt and betrayal that Beth and Bob felt after all they did for J+K?
Well well well.... seems like every last little "unsubstantiated rumor" out there from the beginning have come to be true! EXACTLY what was leaked years ago ended up being the truth! The spanker, the sleeping in the basement, the apt over the garage, the chefs...BETH'S STORY...these things don't just come out of thin air. She is DISGUSTING. Why? Really? She is one calculating revolting bitch. Just reading "Gone Girl"...man, those two are made from the same cloth! Except one is FICTION
If I remember correctly, I believe that it's been said that the Carsons paid for the twins' initial tuition.

Funny how TFMJG was always moaning and complaining that one person couldn't manage all 8 kids without a lot of help, yet Jon, Beth, Jodi, Ashley, and no doubt many of the not-a-nannies did just fine with minimal to no help. The truth of the matter is that TFMJG herself could not, and cannot, deal with her own children. I don't know if that's because she's utterly incapable of doing it, or if she doesn't want to -- I suspect it's a bit of both -- but she's proven time and again that she can't do it. I believe her when she says taking them out in public would cause a panic. It would. She's the one who would be panicking.
Go Beth.
Robert, people have your back.
Now, Aunt Jodi, it's time.

Well, color me surprised that Kate is denying what Beth said is true.
Wait for it- she''s going to point the finger at Beth and say that she was just protecting her kids from Beth's sneaky, stealing ways.
Not sure if Sandie is saying that Beth stabbed Kate in the back, or vice versa.

But Milo apparently thinks it's Beth who stabbed Kate in the back. Apparently so did Kate, because she retweeted Sandie's tweet.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack · 4m
@SandieBellz @Kateplusmy8 There R 2sides 2this! Kate has remained respectfully quiet all these yrs! So unnecessary 2dredge up old issues..
So when someone who has known Kate, who worked with Kate, who did so many things for Kate, Jon and the kids, finally speaks up and tells the truth, it's stabbing her in the back?
At least they didn't say that Beth was lying.
I'm sure that the reason Beth hasn't come forward until now is because she knew damn well Kate would call her a liar, and that she'd face a ton of scrutiny, knowing Kate and her media connections.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kate takes this fight public and tries to destroy Beth.
Now Kate's calling Beth a liar:

According to the Hoffman book, Kate did not want to ever be home with the kids. She would invent errands and leave them with a series of 3 rotating nannies, one whom the kids disliked. Sometimes she would not return all night. She would make mulitple trips to town to make her time away longer. Go tanning or for a manicure. Get coffee, read her mail in the car. The twins felt the rejection; the tups were used to it.
Yup right on cue, someone named amanda wants to know why Beth is speaking out NOW? What's the dirt on that!? That she heard this story "weeks "
ago...
Well, the Dominos are starting to tumble, and what is Kate to do?
The update special was beyond boring, and she is just one of many players on Celebrity Apprentice (which may not even air), so what's left? If a network invites her on air to defend these "accusations", then the tough questions have to be asked, right? She can deny, but if she dares I suspect there will be many more who will come forward to finish her off for good. There is a long line of people she has burned who may very well join Robert and Beth if she dares to tell just one more lie.
She now needs to tend to the children she claims to live for, fold up her tent and call it a day. She has to shut down Twitter, focus on the 8 kids who made her famous, and accept the fact it is OVER.

Kind of makes a person giddy, doesn't it? teehee.

@tiffwit19 no
Is she saying that the things aren't true, or that they weren't good friends on the show?
Who is dumb enough to believe Beth is the one not speaking the truth? Baaaa!
Sure seems like TFW was all too willing to take Beth's money when Beth had more than her. All too willing to cozy up to Beth.
Then when TFW had more money than Beth, TFW had no more use for Beth.
Poor schmoopy. Everyone leaves her.
Yeah, right. More like she leaves *them*....in the dust.
Sounds like Beth dotted her i's and crossed her t's, I would LOVE to hear pos's version of events. Beth probably has thr legal documentation to back up her "side" (truth)of the "2sides" to this betrayal.
No, Bill. They had the tups. Kate yelled at Jon in public for mentioning Korea. It was very uncomfortable. The marriage was unraveling then.
She needs to:
1. Change her name.
2. Move far enough away that she and her ex are not likely to cross paths.
3. Stay the heck off of social media.
4. Avoid jobs, activities and hobbies in the public eye.
------------------
I disagree. It is not up to her to do all of that. Why should her lifestyle change if he's the one doing the stalking?. If he wants to find her, he will, no matter where she lives. There are planes, there are trains, and I have no idea how obsessed he is with this thing, but if and when he locates her, all he has to done is hop on that plane. Then changing her name, moving, etc., was all for nothing.
Grabbed from Twitter. Reporter asks Kate if it was hard writing the book (Multiple Blessings) Kate answered it wasn't hard at all, in fact it was easy.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-vSSoZHDWgY 2;02 Mark.
I think Steve started out as just a security guy brought in to guard some reality tv family. He didn't know anything about the Gosselins.
Then he saw how much money was being raked in, thought to himself, hey! I can cash in on some of that.
So he encouraged TFW to dump everyone around her...Beth, Jon, Jodi, her brother...all those who had been with her from the beginning, and knew the truth about a lot of things. Dump them and all that money is just for her, he says.
He persuaded her to dump all those people (playing in to her greedy ways) and partner just with him. Come on baby, it'll just be you and me. I'll make you millions, and you only have to give me 20%, not the 50% Jon or Beth want. I'm not trying to take your money the way those *other* people are.
She being greedy, falls for the whole scam.
And now that she's not making any money, he ditches her. On to greener pastures.
Just my opinion. I still think Steve had far more to do with the demise of that marriage than anyone knows. Yet.
, Bill. They had the tups. Kate yelled at Jon in public for mentioning Korea. It was very uncomfortable. The marriage was unraveling then.
*******
I think 2 different events are being confused. They were going to adopt a baby from korea before she set the hom pregnancy in motion but then tada!! She got preggers with the 6. THEN there's the episode that never aired when they were getting passports to travel to korea
I wonder if she'll now try to sue Beth for violating an NDA.
I think it's fair to throw out an armchair dx right about now: Kate Gosselin is a raving psychotic.
--------------------
And yet the sheeple still think that Kate's poop doesn't smell. It's a cult...it has to be. They have absolutely no ability to think things through...if Kate is the wonderful divine person that they claim she is, why are all of these people who know her speaking out, telling it like it is, that Kate is one mean, miserable, nasty, greedy person? Do they all actually believe that all of these people got together and decided to do a hatchet job on Kate? If so, for what reason? Jealousy, maybe?
Gawd, sheeple are so dumb that they'd have to work hard just to get admitted to the Double Digit Club.
I know we've heard this one half to one third story about Beth before, for years. Who first told us this, was it Robert?
I'm really liking Radar now. Amber is going out there and getting some really interesting stories. And yes there is safety in numbers, they're all letting it out now, but also I think people like Amber are making an effort to ask.
Also I love how Beth proves Kate a liar by saying nope we haven't spoken since the book.
I REMEMBERED Kate trying to claim that Beth was still around, back in 2011. Yeah right. What a liar she is, she's pathological. Did she think she was never going to get caught?
Thanks for posting some of the tweets. Kate's timeline still seems to be messed up and I'm missing many of these tweets...even Kate's. I hope it gets fixed soon.
Did you see someone asked if what Beth was saying was true?
"no," was Kate's response. Lower case.
Give it up Kate. You've been busted as a liar. You said Beth was your FRIEND and is still in your life! WTH, why would a friend do this if she were still a friend? Get a grip.
What reason does Beth have to lie? Why don't you sue her for such terrible lies?
Beth's speaking out doesn't make Jon sound like a great person either. Did he just do what he was told by Kate or was he a part of it to push Beth out of the picture and snag her share of the book sales? And Kate and Steve did cozy up during all those book tours. I agree he was definitely involved in breaking up the marriage and pairing up with Kate to make money.
If Beth never saw the journal or was only told the story by Kate, then I am sorry I jumped to the conclusion she witnessed Kate's bad behavior towards the kids and did nothing about it. Perhaps more will come out in Radaronline. Sometimes they split up the interviews.
This is exactly what we predicted: Robert's book has opened the floodgates.
