JON & KATE PLUS 8: FAMILY CIRCUS on Vice TV

The Gosselin’s marriage dissolves on TV. When the couple weaponize their fame in a messy divorce, they fracture the image of the perfect American family. Watch the full episode here on Vice.

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.

Clack said...

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

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Clack said...

Ohhh thank you for clarifying that. Makes sense now.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

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.

Layla said...

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!

FlimsyFlamsy said...

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?

Jamezvader1194 said...

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.

Anonymous said...

Jamez- where did you read that about Alexis?
Also Kate posted a pic of the four tups for their 20th birthday .

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/

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

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.

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...


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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Poor C said...

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

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Layla said...

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.

ncgirl said...

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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?

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...


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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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.

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.

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.

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.

BlueJay said...

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.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

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

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.

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.

ncgirl said...

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.

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.

A tabloid article said Kate was running out of money and may lose her house. I hope it's true.

nc girls said...

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.

BlueJay said...

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.

Meagler said...

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 :)

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.
