JON & KATE PLUS 8: FAMILY CIRCUS on Vice TV
292 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 292 of 292 Newer› Newest»Clack (#200), reality TV fame is still a relatively new
phenomenom. And those who reach some level
of success and acclaim -- with no particular skill
set -- make it look awfully appealing. But sad
stories like the Gosselin kids and now this young
man who took his own life are surely cautionary
tales for parents ready to sell their children's
privacy to the highest bidder.
Haven't watched "Quiet On The Set" yet.
Not sure I can stomach it. And these
horror stories came from professional
sets where a parent expects tutors and
other adult supervision. I think these
confessions will multiply as more people
find the courage to share their stories.
I wonder if Paul Petersen has weighed in.
I think that is correct, more and more will come out. What sickened me was Joanna Kerns and Allen thick wrote to the court to support the pedo! He only got 16 months. It’s disgusting!
Back to sister wives, how are these people legally getting multiple spouses? And filming it???? And on a shallow note, the husband looks like a grease ball from a bad 80s movie, how did he get more than one wife? Ha ha
Kody’s not in violation of any laws. He can call them wives but they’re really just girlfriends or open marriage affairs to the rest of us. He claims he was under investigation for polgomy in Utah but word is that was nonsense and just him making drama for the show.
Ohhh thank you for clarifying that. Makes sense now.
Clack (#2), apparently that guy was a textbook
abuser. His behavior with everyone else in his
orbit was above reproach. So when the accuser
speaks up, he or she is the one people doubt,
not the accused. Sickening.

The Jerry Sandusky approach. Become a beloved local celebrity and philanthropist. Touch thousands of lives. If the shit ever hits the fan, everyone will say, well, that couldn't possibly be.
The exploitation of these kids reminds me of the time Kate pulled down Collin's pants, sat him on the potty, and walked out, closing the door behind her and leaving him alone in a room with a man with a camera. What mother could ever justify doing such a thing? When money and fame come into the picture, too many parents forget the basic instinct to protect their children. And she still think she didn't do anything wrong. Unforgivable!
I just remembered the sextuplets had a birthday
yesterday: they turned 20! I'm not on any social
media -- did either parent comment about it?
Its been a while here, but I wanted to see what was new with the Gosselins since its the 6's birthday. I wasn't aware that last year Alexis came out as gay. She did claim that Kate was supportive which was nice of her. Also I feel like I might get flak for this but Mady also claims to be part of the LGBT despite having a boyfriend. I don't know about anyone else but I can't trust her claim because I feel like Mady would claim to be a part of the LGBT because she's one of those spicy straights who thinks being a part of the community makes her one of the "cool kids" when that was never the point of the entire movement.
Jamez- where did you read that about Alexis?
Also Kate posted a pic of the four tups for their 20th birthday .
-Gigi
Kate made a birthday post. http://www.realitytvkids.com/2023/07/jon-kate-plus-8-family-circus-on-vice-tv.html?commentPage=2
FlimsyFlamsy - Yes, Kate put up a photo and a little blurb of the 4 on her Instagram. Joel looks so much like Jon!
@Admin Please dont accept the anonymous comment. That was my bad.
@Gigi Sadly I cant find the Tiktok but this article mentions what Mady and Alexis said last year. https://www.theashleysrealityroundup.com/2023/04/12/two-gosselin-daughters-mady-alexis-reveal-theyre-lgbtq-their-mom-kate-was-reportedly-supportive/
I don't remember seeing that article before but it makes me sad that Mady doesn't appreciate the concerns people had for how much excessive time she spent on camera as a child, I'm not just talking about the interwebs, I'm talking about her own aunt and uncle and legislatures and activists like Paul.
She can't bring herself to say hey thank you so much for your concern, we're all doing fine. (Which, we don't know if they're fine they are very young yet, and secondly, even if everyone is doing "fine and dandy", doesn't meant the risk didn't exist to them and any other kid going through something similar.) I worry comments like that from Mady will be taken as free license to continue to exploit other children since, it's fine.
Assuming the kids' comments are accurate if there's one thing Kate has done right is accept the kids from who they are. She's come a long way from her far rightly bible thumping roots. The LAST thing these kids need is to feel not accepted for who they are in their own family.
The Jerry Sandusky approach. Become a beloved local celebrity and philanthropist. Touch thousands of lives. If the shit ever hits the fan, everyone will say, well, that couldn't possibly be.
You misspelled “Donald Trump”. I can’t wait for you to crop my comment and then add your no doubt idiotic response that will be perfectly valid in the view of your “followers”. I also await the sparse but not surprising response from those “loyal sycophants” who will chastise me for daring to speak my mind while pointing out your blatant hypocrisy. You should get busy. Those pithy responses aren’t going to type themselves!

You want so badly for him to be something he never was. First you tried to years to tie him to Jeffrey Epstein, but every time it panned out that he wanted nothing to do with that sick man. And on and on grasping at straws. This trial is embarrassing for you. The public has completely lost interest. The stories get bumped down to the bottom of all the news sites because nobody clicks.
See ya June 27.
Anonymous, you're losing this trial and it's going to be embarrassing. You've been warned.
James sadly there are many young people identifying as LGBTQ for attention and to be woke. No idea if that's Mady. It's very insulting to those who are sincere.
Anonymous, I'm sorry to break it to you but liberals commentators are not trying to ease you all into the idea that you're losing and that no one is following it.
Even the NY Times has an article about apathy to the trial lol. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/20/opinion/columnists/trump-trial-apathy.html
CNN also had an article yesterday admitting the prosecution didn't prove their case, lol.
What a massive, massive miscalculation on your lot's part. Hilarious to watch though!
You keep mentioning the current criminal trial as some ridiculous “gotcha”. It just adds to my amusement. I don’t care if he wins or loses.
&&&
Typical back-peddling from you. Of course now that it's clear the trial is a disaster for you, you meh "don't care." Nice, but not buying it.
I'm sure taxpayers really appreciate that you don't care if he wins or losses. What a massive waste of everyone's time and money.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/29/us/social-media-children-influencers-cec/index.html
Another told you so.
A lot of people who follow family channels and kid accounts have never zoomed out and asked themselves why they have such intimate access to a kid they’ve never met,” Easom said. “I want people to remember the curated videos (that) family channels are putting out do not necessarily represent what happens when the cameras are off.”
&&&&
This comment got me. It's what we said for over a decade to these sheeple. You've never met these kids. What right does the public have to be in their bedrooms and bathrooms? It's creepy.
Silly me, I forgot to consider that the county it was prosecuted in was 98% Democrat and the entire jury was anti-Trump based on their interviews. Oops. Is he going to jail! What’s going to happen! You mean nothing will happen at all? You mean it was just a witchhunt to make a t??? I thought that only happens in South American countries!!! See ya in November.
Poor anonymous, all the liberal columnists were bracing your lot for an acquittal. Objectively looking at the evidence they knew they were sunk. The jury Casey Anthony-ied it. Do you honestly, be honest, believe this result would have been the same if this were tried in Gainesville, Georgia?
Political witchhunts tend to backfire down the road. If you think this was a wise political move to get your way in November so your senile candidate can win, you're playing with fire.
Boy, the king whiny bitch sure does have a cult full of whiny bitches. Bottom line is that you look like a complete jackass for your ridiculous "warning.
&&&
Lol only in your head. I suppose the New York Times is also a jackass for warning everyone this should be an acquittal?
Whatever the jury did, the evidence wasn't there.
Curious, do you believe our American jury system is sound, just, and fair? A truthful answer please.
Grow the fuck up and own your own idiocy.
&&&
Take a deep breath. Let it out. Goodness me you said you didn't care what happens with this trial. It was whatever to you, taxpayers be damned. You sure do really seem to care. Answer the question you don't believe this was political gamesmanship filed in the perfect jurisdiction to get a conviction? Grow up.
Hannah said in the vice special that collin was completely isolated from the rest of the kids: he had different mealtimes, schooling, room, he was not allowed to play with the other kids. This was already going on while they were still filming the show. This basically means Collin was being brought in for camera time, like some kind of show monkey at specific times. How messed up is that? He was probably told he is not to interact with his siblings, he is meant to just sit there.
You can see this plainly too: in the new england episode, Collin is always sat between Andrea and Kate. During the twins' birthday, Collin is brought to the venue separately, later than the rest of the kids. During every activity, Collin is literally just physically there (for little time, just long enough to be on camera).
It's heartbreaking
Curious, do you believe our American jury system is sound, just, and fair?
*******
LOL I bet the whining about the unfairness of the justice system will slow down a bit if Hunter Biden is convicted, which seems quite likely. (Note that this is simply a guess, not a "warning" to anyone.
&&&
Oh you mean the case in which they have the evidence? A cardboard box would convict him.
I heard daddy has been by his side throughout this all, his rock. Lol, like he's 16 and has to face the truancy board for ditching one too many times.
Anonymous, surprisingly, I agree with everything you said except for I disagree slightly on Bill Clinton, that was a witch hunt from the far right from the beginning.
If you think this prosecution had ANYTHING to do with the American people and ensuring that criminals are prosecuted and our streets are safe, I'm just utterly speechless. You're just willfully blind. You're being made fun of. Literally your own liberal friends were admitting what this was. Take a hint.
Kate's appeal of the child support ruling has been rejected. Yayyy! Of course, her lawyer is claiming they'll still try to fight it, but it's been thrown out twice now--do they really think they'll get a different outcome? And who is funding these ongoing proceedings? The kids, no doubt. She must really need that money, which makes it obvious that she's still "borrowing" from her kids to "survive". Poor kids. They'll end up with nothing at this rate.
The children will be senior citizens and Kate will still be trying to collect the money.
Maybe, just maybe, he's trying not to lose his son to addiction after suffering the loss of two other children
$$$$
Oh god I’m going to puke. Cry me a river with the poor little drug addict. He illegally purchased a very dangerous firearm and lied about his addiction. He put his own daughter on the stand to defend him, it’s sick. Who does that! He’s a 54 year old man and father to five kids with all of the tools and more at his disposal to get sober and finally grow the f up. Good grief the liberals seem to loathe guns until it’s their lot with them, then it’s poor drug addict. Predictable.
Joe Biden has not said that his son shouldn't be convicted. You are the one who made a mockery out of the fact that he is supporting his son and have doubled down by making fun of addiction. What a truly delightful human being you are. God forbid your spawn ever has any kind of issue. The parent who only wants to be there for the perfect child is a shitty parent.
&&&&
Your ridiculous comment that Biden is there because he doesn't want to lose his son to addiction is just that, ridiculous. Do you follow this story at all? The man has been sober five years, hardly in dangerous territory to OD and be lost to Daddy Biden forever. And not all drug addicts are created equal. He was of the particular sort that amassed dangerous weapons, didn't pay hefty tax bills I guess because he thinks he's a special drug addict, lied, spent all the family's money on prostitute such that the family couldn't even pay their bills, should I go on? Actually, let's go on--and then, THEN, he gets into a sexual relationship with his brother's widow and introduces her to, you guessed it, illegal drugs. Is this guy for real?! It's quite a stretch to lump all of this into a poor drug addict box. It's an insult to drug addicts who have taken care not to make a mess of everyone else's lives while they destroy their own.
Sometimes being there for a "child" (child?? he's 54!) means stepping back and letting them sort out their problems. At age 54, it's time. And let's be real, please--the reason Biden is making sure to show his face is because he's hoping to influence the jury. Gimme an ever loving break he's doing anything else but trying to get his 54 year old baby special treatment. Just like he's always done (read up on the fake jobs Biden got for this joker)
Gee, ya see how this guy got where he is.
Ya picked the wrong apples and oranges on this one. Wasn't your original point something to do with Trump? Wrong way to go. Lady, I have worked with drug addicts for 15 years an I am happy to report that the vast majority aren't morally bankrupt shit human beings like this guy.
One of the jurors said he was pretty disturbed Biden would put his own daughter on the stand to defend him. Good they should be. What a disgusting shit father. Even drug addicts can be good dads.
Frankly anonymous I find myself unable to be all that interested in poor little white rich boy's problems and clear Daddy issues.
Like, sad story but also, a terribly uninteresting one. The jury does sound like they had their heads on straight though, which is no guarantee. They explained everything they did with sound reason and logic.
Yah justice, I guess? Maybe now that both trials of the century are over we could focus on some pressing issues. Israel, inflation, the opioid epidemic. What are these two very old men going to do about these things and more?
Lady, I have worked with drug addicts for 15 years an I am happy to report that the vast majority aren't morally bankrupt shit human beings like this guy.
******************
Oh Lord, of course you are an expert on drug addicts. You are nothing if not predictable.
Hunter Biden certainly isn't in the running for sainthood. He may well be a morally bankrupt piece of shit. No clue why that would bother someone who supports the morally bankrupt piece of shit 34-time felon currently running for president.
$$$
You can’t possibly be comparing a “man” whose family couldn’t pay the bills due to his blowing it all on prostitutes as the same thing as some kind of slap on the wrist for a white crime few lines of fudging business records and some cut checks that are perfectly legal in many states. Lol, boy.
I don’t “support” any of these folks or particularly care. I’ve just found what now amounts to an 8 year obsession over nothing and an absolute refusal to admit anything at all to the contrary fascinating and almost religious in nature. It’s like trying to convince someone whose Jesus is their lord and savior that he’s nothing more than a tooth fairy. You won’t get anywhere.
The relapse rate dear anonymous after five years sobriety is so low as to be almost a guarantee you won’t. Proving you literally have no idea what your talking about when you’re preaching the gospel of poor drug addicts to defend this shit human being who was a shit before, during, and also after using drugs.
The second apples to apples comparison is their private lives. Guess what? They both come across very badly there. One has been accused of rape by multiple women. One allegedly spent a shit ton of money on prostitutes. Both committed adultery. Neither would win parent of the year. I could go on and on. The idea that Donald Trump is Mother Teresa compared to Hunter Biden is laughable.
&&&
You're being deliberately ironic right?
I find the majority of politicians, right on down to the sainted Obama, corrupt narcissistic self interested blowhards. But the outright obsession with Trump hate is what I find so silly and laughable. He is no better or worse than any one of these jokers.
He should have avoided committing his crimes at the outset but he is clearly not smart enough to do so. He is, as is clear from his business history, not very bright.
&&&
LOL oh yeah he just fell into many multi millions over many decades by chance. The wind blew that way. Grow up.
Another TLC Reality TV Family casualty. Deon and Karen Derrico divorced within a couple of days of filing (!!)
https://people.com/tlc-doubling-down-with-the-derricos-deon-and-karen-derrico-divorce-8663841
By the way, I am applauding the Hunter Biden jury for the verdict. He violated the law and was rightfully convicted after a jury weighed the evidence and determined he was guilty. The same jury system convicted Trump.
&&&
Neither case proves or disproves a thing about our jury system. It remains the case juries are arbitrary and the make up of your jurisdiction matters. The fact that one panel did a good job with a case does not prove that all panels do.
I'm not a proponent of our jury system actually. Too many wackadoodle errors. I am an advocate of a modified system likely of professional jurors with training and an IQ.
Goodness, you're getting absolutely hammered in the supreme court. Ouch.
Goodness, you aren’t kidding. The rule of law which you swore to uphold is being systematically dismantled. It’s a good thing Joe Biden is a man of integrity and won’t use the recent decisions to his advantage. You, however, are an embarrassment to the legal community. Ouch.
&&&
Nope, just being followed.
Joe Biden is a man of integrity? Honey, Joe Biden does not even know what is going on--which is what I told you four years ago, but of course, was poo-pooed. It's actually sad to watch a senior citizen abused like this, put out like a puppet because that's how much you hate Trump. It's abuse.
This week is humiliating. For you.
Gosh you’re awfully quiet anonymous. Tough week?
What are you gloating about. Today was embarrassing for you. Literally in the history of political moves this has to be one of the dumbest. No, the absolute dumbest. This was a gift. It’s like she’s trying to lose. If Trump can’t make short work of this socialist radical far left ticket that’s really on him.
Admin have you seen this? https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/collin-gosselin-claims-marines-discharged-him-due-to-institution-stay/
That poor child has suffered so much, I hope she pays for what she has done to him.
For some reason I cannot log in but I am posting as SaramBSN2013
Oh no. Oh Collin!
I’m not surprised that’s the policy given the history of military folks whose mental illness drove them to do harm. I hope his appeal goes well and I hope he mentions that his mother was the one who dumped him there.
I'm awfully surprised that Kate hasn't been, you know, willingly jumping at interviews such as the Today Show, Good Morning, People Magazine, or anything that will have her really in response to Collin's interviews like she was in her old days. Not that I would find that acceptable. But, she was out there in her old form towards Jon previously during the divorce constantly setting the record straight.
We weren't military background, so I'm also surprised why paperwork wasn't looked at prior to him enlisting. And why anything from his youth would be a problem. People grow up. I'm not on this kids case at all. We all know Kate's history.
There's some chatter on reddit about other people's experiences with this issue. Here's one story:
So here’s my story, I had to get a mental health waiver to join the Navy. I was abused so bad as a child it caused me to have suicidal ideation and I had to get therapy bc of it. It had pop up in gen. and the doctor wanted me to go speak with their mental health doctor for a waiver. Well the doctor wrote really good things about me but it didn’t get approved unfortunately because MEPS wanted me to talk to a civilian doctor in my own town for my evaluation. Well I didn’t have insurance so I paid 400 out of pocket the doctor gathered all my medical records talk to me wrote some pretty awesome things about me and gave his approval for me to join. I gave that to my recruiters and in 3 days it was approved. I recently graduated bootcamp and now I’m in A school to become a Corpman. It’s possible you just have to fight for yourself and not give up
Hey admin I tried emailing you and it bounced back.
Okay I'm finally ready to let people read my 2 books on being raised by a narcissist. Does anyone wanna read them?

Colin said Kate tied him up and put him in the basement.
It's been a VERY long while since I posted here...like back innth3 day when we were having virtual porch tea parties. ( Some of may have been sipping some stronger stuff..lol) I think this was the name I used....
Anyways...a TikTok came across my fyp of Collin being interviewed by The Sun and he is telling about his abuse of being Zip tied and left in a locked basement room for the day or half days, multiple times.
There are some articles out there if people want to search as I forgot to copy amd paste the url.
Remember that Author who wrote the tell all and said Poor Collin and Kate tried suing him? I never read the book but followed the story. I think we are about to hear some of the tea!!! Ibsure hope Collin stays strong during the media attention this lay bring. Kate declined to.comment. Her lawyer was careful with his words. He didn't decline such abuse occurred but said he felt any of Kate's actions were th3 result of trying to keep.her family safe...or something to that affect.
I sure hope this is the tell all we felt would at some point come out when they kids were older and no longer gagged.
There is a new Daily Mail article where Collin said Kate zip tie his arms and legs and put him in a separate close room in the basement for hours when he was 8-9 years old. This sounds like an horror movie.
Here is the link to the article:
https://www.the-sun.com/tv/12350645/collin-gosselin-kate-zip-tied-arms-legs-locked-basement/
From Dmasy -- Without A Crystal Ball (You Tube) covers Reality TV gossip/news. She has a video about the Collin update. The recent photos show a handsome young man. We may see a new round of Kate news as she scurries to "set the record straight" again.
From Dmasy -- Preesi, I would like to read your book.
Dear Kate Gosselin Watchdogs,
I dont know if any of you (but Admin) remember me. But
now that I read what Kate did to Collin, Im posting the link to my books about being raised by a Narcissist (like Kate). I hope some of what I wrote helps people. It will also explain a lot about me... (deep breath)
https://adultmakebelievestories.blogspot.com/2023/10/things-my-mother-never-taught-me-girls.html
Preesi, good for you for writing about this. I find writing to be so therapeutic. The more information about Narcissism, the better. We have a narc in our family. Her adult daughters have major problems with her. The oldest won't let her see her child. The son sides with the narc. I guess he's the golden child. He's a twin to one of the girls.
It's a blind item so I hope Kate coming back was never a consideration. If it's true, Colin should keep talking. We don't need that vile woman on TV.
"This cable network was going to reboot the big family show in an update version, but have canceled those plans because of the mom being accused of horrible child abuse." I can see Mady wanting in.
I would have thought Kate would be all over her setting record straight by now. You know her favorite thing to do to almost everyone.

Kate's lawyer said she never intentionally meant to harm the children. So it was an accident? Please.
Apparently she never dreamed that he would someday grow up and expose her abuse.
I feel bad asking but don’t parents these days institutionalize their own adult children, find them group homes for legitimate disabilities of course, or have those court order what are they conservatorships.
I wouldn’t have been surprised if she had been thinking along those lines as Collin had gotten older if he hadn’t asked his father for help.
There's a comment from Jon on the instagram post that the SOL doesn't expire until he's 30. I wonder if he's talking to the DA.
Why would he need a SOL until he’s 30? That ridiculous!
It was a reality show. It would seem they suck all control from these families. I don’t know if that’s sad or scary. If it’s Kate, that’s creepy. Helloooo, he’ll be 21 shortly.
No he’s saying it’s not too late for criminal charges that the DA has until the victim is age 30 to file.
Steve was around in those days. I wonder what he would have to say, though I doubt he would.
Wasn't Kate NDA happy in those days to anyone and everyone she could? So I doubt most people would be willing to say much. Though I'm not quite sure how good those are for, or for how long.
Kate's lawyer said she never intentionally meant to harm the children. So it was an accident? Please.
&&&
Unlucky for her, many I would say MOST child abuse laws don't require you to "mean it." Child abuse is child abuse regardless your intent. Most are negligence type child endangerment laws. I really hope the DA takes a look at this. Parents have gone to jail for far less.
So good to see you Meagler. I recall you were one of our designated drivers lol.
Thank you for sharing your story Pressi. Google recently changed how email addresses and blogs are paid for so I decided to discontinue the email address, it wasn't worth the extra fee since most people don't use it. You can always contact me here.
Hi Admin. New photo today that was a shock to see (you’ll see why!). I couldn’t find the original source, so here is the Reddit link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gosselinssnark/s/aXZLlMzcPZ
You don’t need to publish my comment, but I wanted to bring this to your attention for the blog if you wanted to do anything with it.
Have a good day!
From Dmasy -- Bubbles, I peeked at the link. Ouch.
A tabloid article said Kate was running out of money and may lose her house. I hope it's true.
This former reality star is begging executives to give her show another life. She thought it was in the bag and took out a loan she has no hopes of paying back.
This is thought to be Kate. It's a blind item so I don't know if it's true.
Even if the money in reality tv is good...what could Kate have to possibly offer people to watch? Don't you have to offer something people in reality tv?
The gimmick was multiples. I think that ship has sailed.
Now I don't know a whole lot about payments, what one can and can't do while being filmed for those type of shows so forgive me if I don't know why it's so appealing for earnings. Perhaps I am naive or just too old to find the appeal for why this woman would want another show? Why can't she just accept the fact of life and, okay it's over? And go back to what she, what was it again? Told Jon at the time to go get a part time job? Or something, go get a job?
I certain would enjoy me freedom a lot more than being followed by a camera crew just for a paycheck! My goodness. I mean sure we know it's Kate, but there's a lot more to life than being paid by a company. Reality tv can't be worth all that for an income.
Say perhaps okay she's broke. Lots of people become broke actors (she wasn't) but they go back to regular life don't they? I don't know any but I'm sure of it has to be someone. Other reality shows they go back to regular life. Sounds to me as if she just can't let go of a paycheck. It's really quite sad.
Her children seem to have adjusted better than herself, perhaps. That's yet to actually been established entirely.
Why? She’s a movie star! She got an Oscar, no? In her head anyway.
I watched an episode recently where she went to Hershey with the kids. Good god her voice is so monotone and boring! She definitely was NOT the star of the show!
If she is broke, I wouldn’t be surprised. How long did she think she could live unemployed? She has nothing to offer as far as tv, she wasn’t a nurturing nurse (shocking!), what else can she possibly do? Maybe she can volunteer a bit north of her and help the folks in the mountains?
That was silly, she wouldnt do that without a camera in tow.
She really sickens me!
I have my doubts she ever wonders the cameras aren't coming back. I heard her on that special forces. She can now pursue what she wants without the kids. Or something along those lines. Well...go for it. Chance is it won't pan out! Reality is it just isn't going to go way she thought it would.
Like when one is a kid and you wanted to be a fairy princess, or super hero. Those type of dreams you eventual realize just aren't realistic. And Kate is old enough to realize that clutching her fingers are being a reality star aren't going to live up to expectations.
I use to when one of my kids boldly declared he wanted to be spiderman back in the day I enjoyed it but eventually he moved on to other things. It was cute to live in his world and help him climb the big tree in our yard. But, fact is fact. You have to help your kids grow up. Too bad she's I suppose wandering around for another show.
Real people have real problems. Sad she's forgotten she wanted to be a nurse. Or was that just to marry someone?
The blind item I posted earlier is about Kate. Somone commented Kate is living ins his town and worked at the same hospital as his mother in law. She was fired for a bad attitude and bedside manner. I don't know if it's true, but it sounds like Kate.
Ncgirl- that sure sounds like it could be Kate esp since some of the Collin articles said Kate was working on a new TV agreement but it fell through when Collin spoke up ???? Who knows.
Here is another little tidbit- look up who Kate is following on instagram and you will find Cara. Click on Caras profile and altho it is private it shows as being followed by collingosselin. If it doesn't show up for you, it may be because I follow Collin. So Cara doesn't have Collin blocked.
Admin- me a DD for the Parties on the Porch? Perhaps. I may have had a spiked ice tea early in the festivities :)

An article with a new picture of Kate in it. She's visiting a friend. lol
They make her sound like a recluse.

This has a few more pictures of her. It looks like she has lost some weight.
Whoever that friend is letting Kate near her baby I hope she has enough sense to keep that contact monitored.
Kate never seems to have reconciled with her parents, either. Her father died not long ago.
Hi everyone! It's been a long time! Yet the narrative remains the same--poor, put-upon Kate is broke and needs a new show. We've been hearing that for more than a decade now. Time for her to move on. Doesn't she ever feel any shame about airing her financial problems publicly? don't bother answering, I already know the answer.
OT--for a quick catch-up, our "blog baby", Sully, just turned 5! How did that happen so fast? He is exceptional. He can read and write, he is taking piano lessons and learning to play Lacrosse like his dad. And Baby K is now a feisty, loud, giggly 3-year-old. She's in Pre-K 3 and taking ballet lessons. Her first recital was a couple weeks ago and she just loved being the center of attention. The other kids froze, some cried, but she was delighted to have all eyes on her. That's my girl!
What has everyone been up to?
From Dmasy. Hello, Layla. Delightful to hear your update on a baby we all helped wait for.
Hubby and I are fine. We moved home to the Mid West after a glorious 10 year adventure in Texas. We are near family now. I spend a great deal of time with my 4 sisters.
Life is blessed.
Hello Dmasy! Good to hear you're doing well. And so nice to see some old names checking in here again.
I just saw the pictures of Kate with a couple other women and a small child. Obviously staged. Really, are we to believe that paps are lurking in the bushes in NC, just waiting to get a pic of her emerging from her house? Not a chance. And of course she's seen gushing over the baby, which appears to be a boy. Just after the story of her abuse of her Collin. The implication is clear--"Oh no, there's no way Kate would harm her child! Look, she's fawning over someone's little boy! She looovvvees kids too much to ever harm one!". Yeah, NO. I'm starting to think the story of her planning to get back on TV is true. Pics of her doing mundane things tend to pop up right before she makes an appearance. There were pics of her at the gym right before the Special Forces thing. And of course, we get stories of her financial problems right before she appears on something. This is, I think, her way of rehabbing her image to get back on TV. Funny how the only site to run the pictures is The Sun--a British tabloid. Nobody from the US appears to have picked them up. Too funny.
Oops! The anonymous comment above is me!
Jon announces that he and his girlfriend of 3 years are engaged. https://people.com/jon-gosselin-engaged-stephanie-lebo-8647754
This sounds like another very healthy, mature, stable relationship for Jon and good for all the kids involved.
