Show Biz: Jon + Kate + 8 = $$$

They’re reality TV’s cuddliest family, but increasingly noisy critics allege that Berks County’s Gosselins — and their show, Jon & Kate Plus 8 — aren’t all they appear to be

BEHIND THE SCENES

A Q&A with writer Jessica Remo on how she reported the Gosselin story.

IT'S A CHILLY Saturday at the First Assembly of God church in upstate Marcy, New York, but the commotion seems more like Christmas morning. And from the looks of it, the turnout is better. Jon and Kate Gosselin, the darlings of Jon & Kate Plus 8 — the TLC reality show chronicling their lives raising a set of twins and sextuplets — aren’t scheduled to appear for another hour, but the parking lot is already packed.

The crowd is more than 500 strong: silver-haired matrons, stroller-pushing moms, college girls in sweatshirts, kids in tees emblazoned with photos of the Gosselins, the occasional unlucky boyfriend or husband, dragging his feet like it’s the first day of school. Many have traveled for hours, paying $10 to snap a fuzzy picture, get an autograph, and adore America’s Favorite Parents in person; many will buy up Jon and Kate’s best-selling book, Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving With Twins and Sextuplets, from an impromptu Barnes & Noble kiosk.

The pastor delivers a blustery introduction about how marriage and family are under attack, and how Jon and Kate represent our political mantra of the day, hope. In flawless makeup, stylish jeans and a gray sweater, Kate takes the stage (no Jon today, turns out), looking more like a 20-something headed for a date than the 33-year-old mom whose brood has made her a cable phenomenon. Perched on a stool and looking down at the sea of wide-eyed fans below her, she launches into the practiced spiel: how she and her IT analyst husband from Wyomissing, two miles west of Reading, just wanted a family, and ended up — through fertility treatments, luck and prayer — with a modern Brady Bunch. She describes her resolve not to selectively abort any of the embryos; how Jon’s miserly employer laid him off because he didn’t want to insure all those kids; and the early days in survival mode, trying to feed eight mouths and standing in line for heating assistance. “We had no van … no car seats … no cribs, we didn’t have room in our house, we had no income,” she sniffles, and her fans nod in sympathy. They’ve watched. They know.

Well, sort of. What they know is the reality-show version of the Gosselin family, the funhouse-mirror reflection of what life is like for parents who suddenly find themselves with eight children and cameras rolling. Because there is another story behind the 80-plus episodes of family vacations, potty training and amusement park escapades, and it’s not so warm and cuddly.

JON AND KATE were an ordinary couple thrust into an extraordinary circumstance: six babies in three minutes. When the sextuplets were born on May 10, 2004, at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center, the media swooned, dubbing the tiny babies the “Hershey Kisses.” Kate’s well-worn sob story on the speaking circuit notwithstanding, neighbors and businesses donated diapers and strollers and gift cards to Sam’s Club; before the whole family went home, the NBC remodeling reality show Home Delivery did over the couple’s small Wyomissing house to make room for six more.

COMMENT:

I need some advice from GWOP. See, my neighbors are driving me nuts. Their dog poops in my yard all the time, their kids are so loud, and I think the husband is sleeping with the babysitter (you know, like Jon Gosselin). But, the worst is his wife. AHH!! That women! So, I was thinking, I want to start a blog about them. Can you help me with this? Any ideas on how I could pull this off? Nothing crazy - I just want to accuse them of beating their kids, making their favorite child fat, hating their boys, etc... Also, the mom has medical issues, but I'm sure she is lying. Can anyone access her medical records for me? That would really help. Your site - GWOP - is my inspiration!! Sincerely, Crazy Stalking Neighbor

ThreeFarmers said... Where is the list of Jon and Kate sponsors? I like a lot of their stuff and a detailed list would be handy for shopping. This statement is the perfect example why so many J&K fans are referred to as sheeple. Blindly going along (in this case, purchasing) with what J&K want you to buy for no better reason than you like J&K. You are a marketer's dream in that you're making the decision on where your money is spent, not on the quality of the item or company, but buy the popularity of their hired lackey. The quoted phrase above could be used as copy on a billboard for stupidity.

POS suffers are overweight, bad skin, even excess hair. This was clearly not Kate as you can see in her early photos! I hope you didn't mean it like it sounded, but you totally made it sound like PCOS suffers (I happen to be one) are ugly, old hags who should just give it up already. But I agree, NO WAY did Kate EVER suffer from PCOS. I mean, there's probably a 0.01% chance that she did, but if I had a Magic 8 ball, "all signs point to no".

You have a problem with the funny comments posted here about GWOP, but you think the utter garbage posted on GWOP is OK? Because many don't agree with GWOP and are expressing themselves with a lot of humor at the expense of GWOP, you don't believe the comments are true? How full of yourself can you be? There are tons of people who laugh at the utter dumbness of GWOP, that's the truth. I know you can't wrap your mind around it, but it is true. Tell me are you as outraged when a GWOP follower calls Hannah, an adorable 5 year old, fat? Does that hurt your sensibilites gentle reader?

Well, Three Farmers called her pathetic, etc., etc... one or two posters even came after Three Farmers - it was quite the GWOP throwdown. I guess Gosselin mania is more important to 3T than real jobs and regular, working families' lives. I guess "Kate Hate" trumps the innocent. P.S. GWOPers even call Kate "Hate" as a nickname. How immature and silly is that? Grown women, for pete's sake...

COMMENT:

Someone posted a comment to an earlier entry that I made, asking me and others if we were jealous of Jon & Kate, and to me especially about the Duggars. Each one of these reality shows participants have made money due to the fact of their extemely large families. Do you think the Duggars would have a house the size that they do, or the book sales and profits, had they not gone on TV. The evangelism that is offered by the Duggars should be on another station and not the LC. The Duggars may have made some good investments, but w/o the LC, they would never have made the funds they do now. And the older kids do help out a tremendous amount. If you watched a recent episode where the parents went to California for an anniversary/guest speaker trip, although a grandmother was the adult in the house, the older kids did all of the tending to the siblings. And, if you watched the older kids reaction when the announcement was made to them about expecting yet another sibling, there were "c

COMMENT:

I dare any "fan" who is obsessed about GWOP to stop mentioning GWOP or fans, or non fans or anything and have a discussion purely on Jon and Kate and the show and what Jon and Kate have done. The response to Gracie's comment was an attack on her and no mention of the topic she brought up which is the history of Jon and Kate and how people were upset with them long before they were anyone. Very telling. Anyone who is on the fence about this discussion, gauge the comments here. Some people talk about the show, the parents, disagreeing with what they have done and others are obsessed parrots who caw, "GWOP, GWOP, GWOP" all day. Who do you take more seriously?

I think GWOPers won't be happy unless Kate is left by Jon, hated by her kids, has Hannah on a medical weight loss plan, has gray hair (no hair color), is fat (really fat), lives in Jodi'a garage (because she is homeless), and brought up on ethics charges for some unknown reason from her days as a nurse - yup - they would be happy with all that. And they would think she deserved it too! What I don't get is the hate, real hate that GWOP has for the Gosselins. I mean, do they understand true child abuse? They are boycotting Whirlpool over J&K, do they understand child slave labor made many things they buy? Are they doing anything to stop that? I guess people have more fun attacking Kate's hair than addressing real issues, actual problems that abused children face everyday. Notice how comments that go deeper than Kate's frig never see the light on GWOP.

I checked out this GWOP that is being so discussed. I found a section on their front page called Relavent Articles. This has numerous newspaper articles and the like from 2004 & 2005. Before the show, before the 1.13 mil house. Before GWOP. You can't blame the backlash on anyone but the Gosselins, creepy fans. Man, did they piss people off! It makes sense now. If they were this greedy, uncouth and materialistic 5 years ago, no wonder now with money & fame they are 20 times worse.

Gracie made probably the best point of this whole series of comments. This didn't start with the show, or the fans or GWOP or anything else. It started with the Gosselins. With the lie about Jon's job and everything that snowballed out of that. They were incredibly selfish and entitled before anyone outside of a 50 mile radius of their house even knew they existed. The people of their own town couldn't stand them YEARS ago. If more fans would read the old articles and comments from 2004-2005 before the Gosselins were anyone, they would see how their attitude pissed people off long ago. Wanting a free nurse at the state's expense of an extra year (after one year was already free) for six healthy children? They wanted free child care is what they wanted, knowing that tying up a skilled nurse would deprive a family with a seriously ill or disabled child a nurse they needed. What more do you need to know? They are selfish people, plain and simple.

COMMENT:

After reading here and at GWoP, I have come to the conclusion that what *really* bothers people is that Kate is not ashamed of who she is. It seems as though the people who go after her have one image of a mother, in the mold of a "Jodi", and they want Kate to admit that she doesn't measure up to that ideal. Because she is: ambitious, snarky, honest, assertive, etc. That is who she is, and she isn't sorry for that. To me, yes, that kind of confidence is admirable. I don't think you are ever going to see Kate Gosselin apologize for her personality, and I DO admire her for that.

You asked if I have a problem with the 'funny' comments posted from the GWOP site. My answer, I don't think those comments are in the least bit funny, and I have a problem with the comments I see on a great many sites, both from the fans and the haters. And I know many comments are posted just to stir the pot, I know this because my own children and their friends do this. They don't give a fig for the show, some don't even watch it, they just post comments for something to do to pass the time. The enjoyment they get is the reaction from real posters as they make both sides fly into a frenzy. That was my point.

...most likely posted comments such as "hannah is fat", or whatever other ugly comment is made, they don't do it because they actually believe it, they do it to get a rise out of the fans. Then they will post the opposite view saying that Jon & Kate the best role models for parents just to see the 'haters' fly into one of their frenzies. And you both take the bait. But just know a lot of times you think you are fighting with a mother or father, or adult but you are playing into the game of teenagers.

Many people have written that we should all "get a life", stop complaining, etc. I think that the bottom line is that we all believe the children may be suffering just a little from the parents (J&K) selfishness. Sure, the parents and children needed help from family and the community, but they have received that, took advantage of the kindness of others by eventually moving into a million dollar home, but it is now time that they take full responsibility of their finances and the show needs to be cancelled. What we all can do, and I am sure that we are already doing it -- help those in our communities that need our help with fuel assistance, food pantries, and in any other ways that we can all lend a hand in kindness. I have been unemployed since September, not for the lack of applying for jobs (68 applications so far have been filed) and I have taken advantage of this "free time" and have been volunteering in my public library which has suffered staff time cut backs.

Posted by | Mar. 1, 2009 at 6:20 PM

COMMENT:

When i was a child, I had no inteest in going anywhere. I was happiest at home. Traveling and outings are something that parents want: adults need an escape from the day-to-day drudgery during the week. The Gosselin children dont need a getaway. Jon and Kate don't work, so they definitely don't need a getaway. What's important is not experiencing new places; but getting to know parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins... The one adventure that I DID like as a child was hauling stuff to the dump lot. I was ecstatic at the dump lot. I liked to see what people threw away. The Gosselins couldn't haul their stuff to a land fill: the sponsors would never approve.

I will say, I first visited GWOP by googling the Gosselin name after watching the 4th of July episode where Kate was wigging out about the boys helping with the ridiculous flag cake. I was appauled at how she was and wondered if anyone felt the same. I found this site and felt like at least I wasn't alone in findng it all strange. Then I also read personal attacks on the kids which I in open dialogue said we should leave the kids out of it, that it is inappropriate. I was immediately accused of being Jon or Kate and banned from ever posting on it again. Unfortunately, like Jon and Kate's show, GWOP started off as a well written blog where viewers can add input and it has turned into low class attack session. Just like JOn and Kate, what started out entertaining quickly turned sour.

( Yes a whole comment board was about a fridge) Do you really think that these posters seriousy care about the Gosselin children? Because if they did care then they would say something to Kate's face when they see her; and many have come in contact with her and said nothing like cowards.

Between finding out that GWOP was started by neighbors/friends of Jon and Kate and over the top comments from posters, I no longer trust the site. It was Jodie absence that brought me to GWOP and now she won't talk anymore on there either. Here is my question: Who is really behind GWOP? I know about how they explain it on their site, but what is the truth? If anyone has any info, please feel free to share. Personally, I think GWOP and J&K are alike in a lot of ways. They really deserve each other. BUT, the G kids are innocent and don't deserve the horrible things said about them (forever documented on the net) on GWOP. To say a child isn't loved by their parents is so beyond words. It seems like a subculture has developed around J&K, very weird. I'm sure part of their high ratings are the wackos at GWOP watching the shoe just to then write about it. I mean, how does that make any sense?

COMMENT:

If Jon and Kate were defaming Jon's old boss, he could certainly sue. After all, the Gosselins are now worth money. But, what you common fools don't understand is this: MANY EMPLOYERS FIGHT WORKERS WHEN THEY WANT TO COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT. It costs the employers higher insurance payments if their workers collect unemployment. So, after firing workers, many employers use flimsy reasons for the firing (i.e., 10 minutes late once, etc...). Read news reports! Right now, with the economy, employers are firing people left and right, but blaming the worker (instead of the real reason: money trouble). This allows the employer to fire people and not pay higher insurance. You GWOPers are so uneducated about the world, it stuns me all the time. NO ONE knows what really happened in this matter, not you, not me. But, you blinding hate always leads you to thinking the worst of Jon and Kate. It reminds me of the Salem witch trials, only the modern day version, courtesy of GWOP.

Folks – Why do you care about this reality TV family this much? It scares me to death to see this much passion, this much searching for truth and justice (all good things) directed at this topic when it is never ever given to the issues that actually shape most people’s lives around the world. Is this just human nature – ignore the complex and important in favor of the mundane, unimportant, and purely visceral - or is this the worst of American culture at work? I understand why the journalist wrote the story – I get that. People will read this article. A journalist should be writing for their readers (though agree with some other commenters; this isn’t close to a real journalism job. It’s an editorial piece.).But please people - try to put this much effort and passion into something more worthy. Read about something complex that makes ones head hurt just a bit – read it in detail – and then throw some passion in that direction. Fine to get into the reality TV drama to relax at t

Everybody please, all this bickering is not going to solve anything, so let's talk about what's really important... the Gosselin kid's birthdays!!! May 10 is only 2 1/2 short months away ya'll!!! Let's all share what you're sending to the kids. I Bedazzled jean jackets for all six of them! They are soooooo adorable! I then painted matching sun visors. They will look so cute wearing them on their 4 vacations this summer ya'll! I don't know why Kate insists on wearing that Gymboree crap on them, it's soooo plain and boring. My own kids love the presents I make for the sextuplets but I tell them "this is for the G kids, when you're on TV you can have nice stuff like this too, now get lost." I send 4 or 5 boxes of my fancy clothes to Kate every year then I sit by the TV and wait to see them wear them. They haven't yet, but I think Kate is waiting to wear them for a real fancy occasion! She never thanked me either but it's because I know she is soooo busy flying on planes and stuf

Did the state of PA pay for the hospital bill for the Gosselin sextuplets like the CA taxpayers are having to foot the bill for the Suleman babies?Imagine if they did have insurance, what the deductibles would be on all those babies alone. I'm more inclined to believe that Jon DID NOT want to be employed(wow, he bragged about not having to work again)...the state picked up the tab and they got a free nurse to come in the home. Why are they charging these churches anyway?

The Gosselin Children Do Not Have Jobs
Posted by med student | Mar. 2, 2009 at 5:08 PM

COMMENT:

Farm kids in this country work and they work hard every single day. They don't get filmed going to Disney World. They don't get their college paid for because someone took their picture. They work to help feed their families and run their family farms. Heck, some schools even let kids miss a few days of school because of farming. What the Gosselin children do is no where close to "work". That is so laughable, it is silly. Kids work in other family businesses ALL the time, without pay. I did. My siblings did. Do you know what I got paid? Food, good shelter, decent clothes. I was lucky enough, in later years, because we all helped, there was money for college. Many kids who actually do work, never see that college money. The Gosselin children are very LUCKY, especially coming from a famliy with eight kids.

I suppose he never cheated someone out of a deal, house, transaction or told a lie? People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Unless you can afford children, and all the stuff that comes with having a big family like housing costs and food then you SHOULD NOT be having them. With fertility treatments or not, if you can't afford a family don't start one. I'm sick of seeing these kinds of families like the Duggars portrayed as the most amazing, moral people. Just because people can breed or implant themselves with embryos doesn't make them great people. I would like to see my single life with no children portrayed as heroic, because I'm being responsible. The only difference between Jon and Kate and a welfare mom is that a welfare mom generally doesn't try to pimp out her kid.

Gosselins Did Get State Aid For 2 Years
Posted by QueenFreebieIreneJonboyNoBalls | Mar. 2, 2009 at 9:49 PM

COMMENT:

The Gosselin's were covered by PA Medical Assistance from a few months before the tups were born (taxpayers were footing the bedrest bill) up until over a year after their birth when the state denied their appeal to keep the Medicaid paid-for LPN as a 'second mommy', even though the children had no disabilities. Kate also received WIC (think 80.00 a case of preemie formula x 6 x 10 months plus other staples like baby cereal, juice, etc.)If you'd like, the PA DPW can confirm everything. Feel free to give them a call.

I do agree that it is wrong that their kids go though all of this but they are their kids.

Yes, they are living a pretty easy life..but who's fault is that? ours for watching the show. People are not perfect & they are trying their best (their way) to provide or I guess to entertain us so we can provide for their family. At least at one time before the show took over their lives they had jobs. On the other hand Nadya does not. & she now has 14 kids! They aren't entertaining us but guess what?! We pay for them through taxes! We pay for A LOT of moms to sit around and take care of kids with our money EVERYDAY! At least J&K are actually doing a little to earn the money!.Whereas Nadya is not! Point is the show is more than likely

They had a real need for help whn those babies were born and yes now they are doing very well for themselves thanks to America. I think alot of people need to let them be.

When Jon and Kate were accepting handouts, donations, government assistance, they kept Jon's inheritance from his father a secret. When it was discovered, Kate had the audacity to claim that they shouldn't have to use their money; people just needed to help! Sound familiar? Yeah, she said it again when she was begging to keep the nurse as a babysitter for another year. Even the judge told her that the children did not medically need a nurse; what the parents needed was a hand holder, someone to basically come in and babysit on the taxpayers' tab. Kate never got out of bed before 8 a.m. How many mothers of infants do you think get to sleep in every morning? Mothers who have "nannies." Free nannies. The fact that they still claim to do it all, and claim that they DID it all is a lie. Even Dr. Phil paid for a nanny for them! Then Kate went back on his show and claimed that they didn't have any help! How stupid can people be?

Then Jodi appeared in a video and said that Julie was telling the truth. What's so hard to believe that these two are lazy and manipulating liars? They're laughing all the way to the bank. People need to open their eyes and see what is going on. Trust me, Jon and Kate don't care about their fans. Kate has said that her fans "are silly and ridiculous." They put up signs to keep their fans away; they used to rope their driveway closed when they went on trips so their fans could not pull into their driveway. They're taking your money, calling you idiots and snickering at you as you walk away with your stupid photo they just sold you of their "family." They. Are. Creeps.

You people are just upset because they are now higher earners than you, so you make immature, snide comments about all their new things. The question isn't whether they "need" a $1.3 million house. If they can afford it, why not? Because one time they took WIC support, they must be in poverty forever? Don't want to see the people who used to need your help, now doing so well, huh? You guys are petty, dumb jerks. Oh, and med student, you are completely RIGHT. The Gosselin kids do not work.

While they were sitting on an inheritence stashed under a relative's name, no less. How about paying back the 25k the state spent on the 12 month salary of Angie Krall? Yeah, I didn't think so.

If all children on reality shows are expoited, aren't the Duggars exploiting their children too? Yes they live more modestly, but they are definitely making money from the show (no one does a TV show for free). I went to the Duggars w/o Pity website and there's hardly any talk of how Michelle & Jim Bob are exploiting their kids. Aren't the kids' constant filming "damaging" them too? There is an equal mix of younger as well as older children on that show. Just because Michelle is polite and nice doesn't mean she's not making a pretty penny to show her kids on TV. So if the critics of Jon & Kate are all about "child exploitation," why arent't you calling out the Duggars for it too? Yes, you can be polite, soft-spoken, and well-mannered but still exploit your kids.

Should she payback all the government aid she got because now she is wealthy? That is not how the system works. BTW, you can't "hide" an inheritance, the IRS gets the paperwork. When J&K signed up for WIC, they would have had to list income/assets. If they had lied back then, people would have found out by now and sued them. Gossip, drivel, petty remarks....

Posted by Pam | Mar. 3, 2009 at 1:27 PM

COMMENT:

How could Jon hide an inheritance from his father, even in someone else's name? When his father's death was recorded, his estate would be distributed according to his will. That is a public record so it would be easy to see WHAT Jon inherited and when? Even though they put the money in someone else's name, the will would show the distribution. The State would love to track down someone that accepted aid while hiding assets. The inheritance would prove they exceeded income to qualify for state benefits. One of my parents received a small amt. of money from a relative and had to pay back an entire year's worth of prescriptions because that money disqualified her from the benefit. Someone in the know should be able to piece together the timing of Jon's money.

Jon's Inheritance
Posted by Anonymous | Mar. 3, 2009 at 2:49 PM

COMMENT:

Can't you "gift" someone in your will and spare the beneficiary the tax on it? I think that's a one time deal here in Texas. I know people who have done it and it's set up specifically in a way to keep the funds out of the IRS' greedy hands. I don't know . . . I just don't believe that Jon and Kate have ever really been that destitute. I read somewhere that before Jon's father died, he helped them out financially PLENTY. Even gave them the downpayment for their first house (or cosigned the mortgage for them). That would explain why he's the ONLY relative that Kate acknowledges. Seems like she's getting over him now, though, wanting to just get "rid" of his "stuff."

Jon's mom and dad were DIVORCED at the time of Jon's dad's death! And just because your estate is too small to be taxed, estates have to file with the IRS, whether they owe money or not. Plus, all estates are public record at probate. You people are naive and dumb. You people sound like small towns hicks, gossiping about people.

Look Be-dazzler head, I'm not going to explain inheritance tax law to you - but let me just explain that an account can exist in an "and/or" status - and be listed in the estate - but how the proceeds are paid out are not tracked. Now, go back & read your "Law For Dummies" book (without Gosselin kids pics, I know - but you'll survive)

COMMENT:

Jon and Kate have been conning the welfare system and the people since the time the two hooked up. If you go back far enough you'll see that Kate was receiving state "services" when the twins were born. Yes - Kate and Jon were both working but as Jon was a government employee he knew how to beat [use] the system. Kates dad being a preacher Kate knew she could always rely on the generosity of churchgoers to scam them of their money too. These two have a good system to separate people from their money and all their fans are falling for it.

Do you think CASA will give you a special award for your GWOP site? Because it is so apparent that you are only worried about the children. And where is the article that was supposed to be from a NATIONAL magazine? Hmmm...? Oh, wait, I see, you are calling Philly Mag a NATIONAL magazine. I see... Hmmmm.... Well, gee, I live in New York City, now at what store in my city can I buy this NATIONAL magazine? Hmmm....? Please don't tell me I can call and they will send me a copy.

First, do you actually think people are going to believe anything you say? In your comment prior, you thought Jon's parents were married at the time of Jon's dad's death. That is completely not true. You are a moron. And the more you write, the dumber you sound. By the way, you think how proceeds are paid out in an estate are not tracked? B*ll shi*t. You have no idea what the h*ll you are talking about. EVERYTHING in an estate must be accounted for in a "Final Account" (an actual legal term) that must be approved by the probate judge and can be contested. If Jon got an inheritance from an estate, it could not be hidden. Period.

Both parents obviously live their children. How about writing about the love shown? But I guess putting people down is what's marketable. I however WILL continue to watch their show because I know how hard multiples are. And will NOT read Philly mag if this is the type of article used to sell the magazine.

The real shame is that this family is living on donations coming from hard working people across the country, who attends church on a regular basis. It is this religious base that want to believe that the Gosselin family is pure with true morals and values. With all the money they get from TLC why can’t they (being honest religious people themselves) do these lectures for free as a way to “give back” to communities across the country that support them? In time, the truth will become knowledgably to everyone how demanding this couple really are. Sad fact to those that love them is that Kate & Jon’s values are dominated by materialistic things and yes people from their hometown do not want anything to do with them any more. They have completely taken everyone around them for granted, thus the reason why no immediate family members or friends are on “their” show.

I think his former employer didn't sue because he was friends with Jon's parents. Probably didn't want to embarrass them. Sounds like a nice guy. In Kate's book (that Beth wrote and Kate lived) Kate said Jon was fired for "stealing time." There's a lot of situations where that would be the reason for termination. I actually think that unemployment records are available to the public. Almost every government record is available, if you use the right channels and follow government protocol. Their whole story is murky . . . seems like they gloss over so many details that are important and they just jump right into "oh poor pitiful me."

After all, they posted a notice on their website that "nothing is true unless it comes from us." And that little blurb from Jon about not being perfect won't do it. He did that BEFORE the Star Mag's "revelation." All that did was make him look like a guilty fool who tried to cover his ass.

For all of the comments stating "yeah, I'd take all the free stuff, too, if it was offered," and "you would take it, too!" it is really frightful to think that there are so many people who would trade their family, trade their children's childhoods, their privacies if it meant they could live the lifestyle the Gosselins are flaunting. It makes me worry about the children of these posters who believe that. What's done is done; Jon and Kate cannot undo the damage and the Gosselin kids are in for a rough time of it. When I first started watching this show, I thought of it as an experiment. Take a perfectly good family and put them in a fishbowl and watch what happens. I thought the parents were atypical in choosing a life of leisure and luxury over their children's mental and emotional health. Now I see it's not that extraordinary.

You are a childish idiot. Anyone with half a brain can see that Jodi cares about the Gosselin children. When their own parents jetted off to California for new hair plugs for Jon, who was it that came to the Gosselins home with her own 4, sick children to stay with J&K's 8 sick children? And Jodi didn't make them lie on a hard laundry room floor so she wouldn't have to clean up after them. She didn't yell at them for "ruining their new comforter." Kate knew that Jodi was getting fan mail. Jon, on the show, said that he just deletes all of the fan mail for Jodi. What a nice guy! Kate knew that Jodi made her look like a crappy mother so Jodi had to go. Why don't you grow up, J.J. You sound like you're as sick in the head as Jon and Kate Gosselin.

Kate clearly told the viewers that she placed Joel on the laundry room floor because it would "make cleaning up after vomitous boy" easier for her. Jon is the parent who came in and took care of him. Just face it, Kate is not a loving, nurturing type of mother. These actions are perpetualized on film. Oh, and the nanananbooboo remark from you? Classic.

Well it is too bad about Beth, that we don't see her any more, she was one classy lady,but you do not know why she is not on the show any more than the rest of us. as far as Jodi, she is a witch, a cry baby and a family wrecker, she was all about exploiting "Kates" kids as well as her own, until she found out there was no monetary value in it for her, now can you deny that? NO!! Jodi didn't love Kates kids as much as she loved the idea of being on nat'l t.v. and thinking she would come into some big $$$$ for it, and then she went crying to big sister, awwwww po, po, baby Jodi, got her wittle feewings huurt, po,baby, actually I'm no much of a lady to say what Jodi really is.

Hopefully the dogs will protect the children from the type of "fan" posting such vile, hate-filled comments, who are seeking their new address. I don't agree with all this family has done but I don't think they should be crucified in such a manner because of their choices.

If YOU watched the show you'd know that it was Aaden who was on the couch sick and with the pan that Kate so lovingly held for him in front of the camera so we could all watch him throw up. Kate DID yell when she went upstairs and found Joel had thrown up on his comforter. When Jon walked in the door that evening, the first thing Kate said was, "Joel decided to throw up on his new comforter!" And Jon is the one who went into the laundry room and told Kate Joel was burning up with fever. He asked if she'd given him anything, and she dismissively said, "Yeah, I just did." Want to go another round?

Restaurant that allowed filming: Red Robin

On Mady's special day they had lunch at Red Robin. While I don't know if they closed down or not or limited who could come in, they certainly altered the environment for filming because there was no ambient noise. Anyone who has been to Red Robin for lunch knows the place is loud as hell. So while they may not have closed the place down (maybe they did, who knows) they certainly altered the environment to suit filming regardless of other patrons if there were any.

As far as the fan mail, there's another lie, J&K said thet delete the negative e=mails, never said they deleted the ones about Jodi, thats where stories get started, Jodi was not even mentined in that portion of the conversation, But you haters just can't accept that can you, wll you are wrong again!!nannna, nannna boo boo,

Because the Gosselins told people that they were destitute because Jon was unfairly fired from his job, they received a multitude of donations, mostly in the form of cash and gift cards. They were living pretty well off of the sympathy of people in their area. I think that's why people are following this real-life story to see where it ends up. It's just curiosity. I don't like the show either, can't stand to hear Kate's voice and I think Jon Gosselin is an extremely immature man who is the laughingstock of reality television right now, but I'll admit - I'm curious to see how it all plays out for them. Maybe they took a risk (with the show, like the tups) and lost. (Their words, not mine).

I just read on the Wernersville Topix board that Jon and Kate are getting a divorce, indeed. They have 4 more episodes to film before that, though. This poster said she was a local, and her IP was in Reading, PA. She wasn't being malicious, just answering questions. After watching Jon and Kate in the couch interviews recently, I'm leaning towards thinking this is all true. Did anyone else see the moving episode when Kate said the best part of her day was bossing the men around? And then that look that Jon gave her! OMG that made me cringe. He looked at her like she was a pile of sh!t. Oh well, it's sad for the kids, though. But at least they won't have to listen to Kate put down their dad any more.

Here's the problem with Aunt Jodie: She was perfectly happy to be in the show and exploit the children, see Oprah (her favorite thing), etc, etc... Then she is no longer on the show and we must all save the children from the abuse/exploitation? That is laughable. Her sister says Jodie was there to "protect" the children. So, it was OK to exploit them as long as Jodie was there to sanction it? That is so self-centered and silly. For Jodie's sister to have a site condemning the TV show for exploiting children is the height of arrogance. Without Jodie there, it is now exploitation? Of course not.

So don't be so high and mighty, as we are share part of the blame. They couldn't exploit the kids without us.

I travel through PA a lot to New York. One time, when I stopped to get gas, I asked the clerk how long until I hit the border. I knew I was close, but wasn't sure of the time. She responded, I swear to God, that she didn't know because she had never been out of the county. I thought she was joking. But, no, it was true. I almost said to her, "Well, get in the car! You are going to New York!" It was really sad. People in PA are very uneducated. This explains a lot about GWOP. I mean, calling J&K's new house a mansion? Please. A house in PA that is 6200 sq. ft. is by no means a "mansion". Those posters and managers at GWOP have no common sense. They are so poor and uneducated, it comes out in all their posts. They see someone who used to be on WIC and now has money and they are jealous. Plain and simple.

JON + KATE = BIG Douche Bag Loosers!

COMMENT:

What amazes me is how mainstream America can sit in front of the idiot box watching the very same people they would call huge loosers if the Gosselines didn't have sextuplets, but instead think these people have all the answers because they ''won the lottery'' so to speak with fertility drugs. If some dope off the Septa bus wins the lottery we predict how they'll go bankrupt in a couple years. Why don't we see how lame the Gosselins are the same way? You can tell Jon was a huge dork who couldn't make friends (and still can't), and Kate was one of those manic-depressive controlling loner girls who latched onto a boyfriend and had no life outside of controlling him. Then, they get married b/c no one else wants them, and then can't get pregnant b/c even God doesn't want them to reproduce. Instead of learning any of their lessons in life they push for fertility treatments, push their kids on stage, and push push push for a mogul's ransom of all that is ungodly. And they ''preach'' at churc

Petty? You are calling someone petty on a comment section about an article using GWOP as a source? That's laughable. It amazes me that GWOPers or their supporters can call anyone else petty. GWOP defines petty everyday. And yes, PA is a poor state. That is not a petty comment, just true. One nice school doesn't save the whole state. That's silly. Look at the facts and stats on the state. They back-up my comments. Unlike GWOP, I actually have REAL FACTS and REAL STATS behind me.

First, let me say I have never lived in Pennsylvania but understand all states have their attributes. To the poster that said it was improper to use a period after the abbreviation of Maryland. Abbreviations of states change when it was decided the removal of commas and periods would make it easier for post people to read. You can abbreviate a state with an uppercase first letter and lower case second letter and a period it is very acceptable. It might not be what you are used to seeing but is acceptable. As a matter of fact I can remember when Pennsylvania was abbreviated Penna. I live in Washington, D.C. or Washington DC, either is acceptable. Let me also say Pennsylvania was settled by many people of the Quaker religion. They were a very educated group and are most known for their anti slavery ideals and the underground railroad. The Quakers valued education and made it an important part of their life. Pennsylvania has one of the 8 Ivy League schools in the country and was also

the first state to open a college. It also had the first female college Dean of Students and the first female medical student. The western part of the state does mine coal and supplies energy to parts of our country. It is an old state (one of the original 13) and has very little influx of new people but to say it is an illiterate state is just simply not true. Before you share your close minded thoughts and ideas you need to make sure they are true. Every state has their attributes and shortcomings even your own.

When you say, "very little influx of new people", that is a nice way of saying inbred. Educated people do not stay in PA. GWOP is a reflection of PA. They started a neighbor hate blog (GWOP) because they are a product of their enviroment (PA). Now, they think a 6000 sg. ft. house is a mansion and only the rich have tummy tucks and fake tans. Please. That's plain sad. We need to start a donation drive for GWOPers. They can take the money and go out and see the world. Then maybe their gov. won't make fun of them to the world.

I wonder how the sheeple feel when Kate calls them "silly" numerous times. Even Kate knows the sheeple are silly. I hope people keep on trying to get this show off the air. I no longer watch but love the commentary on GWOP. They have always been compassionate about the children. J&K are in for a rude awakining and as they say "Karma is a Bitch." To use ones flesh and blood as a meal ticket is disgraceful. I notice the the tups are showing signs of disrespect for Mommy Dearest. They do love their Daddy though. Jon at least shows them love and spends time with them. Kate's religion is nothing but a farce.

I enjoyed seeing another point of view--something that is not about "Kate the Super Mom!" I occassionally watched the show. It was cute, interesting and mildly entertaining. But when I tuned in and saw Kate's head explode over some gum, something did not sit right with me. I know we've all lost our temper with our children but that seemed so extreme. To threaten to take a child's lovey. It's just cruel. With each episode, we are seeing more and more of J & K's true colors and it's not pretty! I have a feeling there will be more articles like this one popping up and TLC is going to have to have a better tactic than ignoring calls and requests for interviews.

With this big to do about Jon & Kate Plus 8 I decided to watch several of their shows, look them up on YouTube and I also have read a lot of blogs/posts (BOTH Pro & Con).I am FLOORED by the SCAREY EXPOSURE their children have and continue to get. ALL the videos on YouTube and SO MANY MADE BY FANS ???? I think that is FRIGHTENING to say the least! The fact that Kate called her fans "Silly" - "Their Just Ridiculous" was very telling. Most of their Fans seem to border on OBSESSION! EXAMPLE: A fan on YouTube made a vide for EACH of the Gosselin family members!! HOW CREEPY IS THAT??? That is just the tip of the iceberg! Kate & Jon need to FACE REALITY and PROTECT their children from all this OVER EXPOSURE -- they don't seem to care about Endangering their children by putting them OUT THERE for EVERY One and ANY One to see, judge, make videos of, etc...SHAME ON THEM!!!!! ~ Their GREED knows NO Limits!

Also, when your mommy yells it's not really yelling, it's ''love calls'' and when she talks about your poop, it's ''affectionate humiliation'' you know, very normal. All kids have their poop talked about on tv, and their personal secrets aired for all the world to laugh (or cringe). It's all normal Alexis, you just need to put up and shut up. Now keep acting 24 hours a day so I can keep watching your show from my trailer! Kate is JUST like me so that's why I defend her! PS I hate GWoP too, they don't know that it's normal to air a kid's privacy on TV. That's why you have kids--to make money off em, DUH!

I do not like GWOP. I do not buy Kate's books or go to any of their talks. But, I do watch the show with my kids. When something comes on that we don't agree with, my children look at me for a comment. I explain to them why what's happening is not OK (Mady's actions, Kate's yelling). I would bet most viewers are like me. We watch the show, but nothing else. I would call us viewers, not "fans". But, the attacks on Jon and Kate at GWOP are disturbing to a lot of people. And to hide behind the label "child advocate" is offensive to TRULY ABUSED children and REAL child advocates.

I think the fans making the creepy videos are not half as creepy as Jon and Kate. Look at the toddler beauty pageants. People wonder why these kids have pedophiles stalking them, uh, maybe because their parents make them into huge jailbait. All I have to say is if Jon and Kate REALLY didn't want their kids to be the object of pedophilic fantasies and stalker fans who are obsessed then maybe they shouldn't dangle the kids in everyone's face on TV. If my child were receiving odd attention from someone I would do all I could to PROTECT my child. In this case, it means QUIT YOUR SHOW. Extreme? Perhaps, but that's what a GOOD PARENT would do. Grow up and realize you can't control psychos, you gotta take care of your kids yourself. Ironically, the stalkers and pedophiles are probable LESS PSYCHO than Jon and Kate, especially when J & K keep up the stupid show long after the psycho stuff pops up.

Your sarcasm is immature and childish, and any psych 101 class will tell you sarcasm is masked anger, full of hate. So that said, I was trying to ask some philosophical questions about J+K, since Kate's logic about the sextuplets is completely convenient and full of self-deceipt. She claims she didn't believe in aborting the multiple fetuses because it was God's will, but yet she did believe in taking fertility drugs. Which is it, Kate? God's will? or Your will? No I don't know God's will, but it is clear to religious folk that if something isn't happening naturally then it is not God's will. That is what I was talking about. Kate uses God's will when convenient and then the will of scientific drugs when that is convenient. She is a hipocrite and totally full of it, and you know it or you wouldn't need to comment on my comments with too much TRUTH for you to bear. Sorry, get ove

Oprah was so uncomfortable she looked like she made up her mind right then never to have kids. And then for the second (longer segment) Oprah was full of life and laughter and RESPECT for someone who deserved it! Phylicia Rashad earned her money. Obama earned his way.

All slouched over the plate, elbows on the table, talking with food in her mouth, using her hands to push food onto her fork, like a baby does . . . She's definitely a rube and I think she transformed Jon into a rube. No wonder Jon's family doesn't like his choice for a wife.

''Just own it, Kate, that's all I ask. Tell people you couldn't comfortably afford 8 kids and now you can. Tell people that you and Jon do not hold jobs--that the show is your job, therefore the show is also your kids job. If the show was canceled, you'd be unemployed like a lot of Americans right now...'' and you'd have to cope with life like the rest of us. Just admit you feel entitled to freebies and handouts simply because you experimented with fertility drugs and used your wonderwomb to birth sextuplets. Just look at it for what it REALLY is. You saw six big dollar signs on the ultrasound, not fetuses. Jon freaked out but you said, ''No honey, those are cash cows, as long as all six survive they'll make us rich!'' Just admit it Kate, and then you can work to forgive yourself.

Ha ha LOL! That is so funny! I didn't see that one but I have seen plenty of episodes to show she has no breeding. Although it is more sad than funny. It is funny because her obnoxious ego and entitlement makes you want to laugh at her. But it is not funny because she herself grew up in an abusive family and obviously she got no breeding from it because her parents were too busy abusing her. But what has she done to change or learn or grow up?

There is one really big ass on this site who has nothing better to do but go after stupid crap like PA. You are such a LOSER! This site is about the TRUTH being written about a greedy mother. Unfortunately, some ignorant people can’t handle the truth. The funny thing for these stupid Gosselin lovers is that the REAL truth will be exposed. Jon (who before marrying Kate) was a genuine guy and was very well liked in his hometown. However, things in his life changed too much for him too take. Hard to believe, Jon was a very private guy. Could be some reason why certain things are now happening. I truly believe Jon is having a meltdown and will eventually break. Yes, he has been going out quite a bit (probably deserves it) and I hope he is being smart because he really is a nice guy. Take away all the layers of Kate beatings, he really is a nice guy. Honestly, if you were around a wife like that 24/7 wouldn't you turn into a person with a second personality? Do this, do that, WTF no coupon

If you were two under educated parents of 8 children who you just whimsically brought into this world (Jon and Kate have both said publicly that they were very naive and Jon didn't even want the second pregancy), what would you do? These two have shown no impulse control whatsoever. Kate went straight to fertility after marriage "on a whim." Her first doctor wouldn't treat her again, so she found another. That DR. hospitalized her for hyperstimulated ovaries, but yet she found herself carrying 7 fetuses 5 weeks later. Then the campaigning began. First at the church, then the media. It's all on record. Just do a search. People in their hometown were on to them when the tups were born. Just Google. It's all there. Jon lost job after job, but no one mentions that Kate lost job after job as well. I believe she worked at 5 or 6 different facilities in a 2 year period of time. Not good for the resume. Kate's sister, Clarrissa, even told the public that Kate read the book from the

Kate read the McAughey's book as thougjit was the bible. She "coveted" the money and the perks they recieved. The attention was enough to keep her on her path to produce multiples. She lost Jon his job, essentially. He's to blame, because he should have been man enough to say he had kids coming he needed the job, but she DEMANDED that he was at her side, her beck and call, just as she demanded the staff at the hospital. In Kate's mind, she was already a star. She was a horrible patient! She admits this in the book that Beth wrote, but if you talk to the staff? OMG she was a witch! Anyway, take it from someone who knows the story, but doesn't want Jon Gosselin shooting her through windows at her house. We've already been threatened not to talk. They said it was a legal threat, but I got some nasty letters to back it up. I just think it's crazy that they're getting away with this! It pisses me off!

Look, I don't like Kate either. I think she belongs in a mental institution, or at least in major outpatient care. But that said, it's time to look at things for what they really are. Kate is overt aggressive but Jon is completely passive-aggressive or ''covert aggressive'' as psychologists say. Any marriage counselor will tell you it take 2 to tango. Jon does PLENTY of abusive things to the kids and Kate, but no one pays attention because they're too busy being satisfied by Kate-bashing. I know it's just too easy, but if it's too easy then look a little harder at who Jon really is. Would you want to be married to or fathered by Jon? Jon is becoming more and more like Kate the older they get and vice versa. Now they both scream when the slightest thing happens, and now Kate is disappearing from being present like Jon once did.

cont'd -- In a recent episode when they were walking in the woods, one of the girls hit another kid with her stick and instead of just telling her to put it down b/c she lost her privilige, he nastily grabbed it out of her hand and snapped it in two and threw it and told her something snide. It was awful. He is abusive by being a grown-up child and not acting like a mature parent. Clearly they are both in way over their heads and were not prepared to be parents for even one child let alone 8. It has made them regress to infantile behavior as exhibited in every episode.

First of all, Raymond is a woman not a man. Like the name Ryan or Michael, our parents named her Raymond because our grandfather had just died and they were told she would probably be a boy so they named her that. I thought Raymond's point was brilliant. I am her sister and I know she is not a pervert. She is a mother of three well-adjusted grown daughters who all are in top colleges. So once and for all let's put this to rest. It was just to get people's attention, and it is clear she did that and proved her point. It's interesting that if it had been a woman's name on there (her nickname is Raya) people would better understand it was someone making a point. But all you paranoid people imagine someone in a trench coat with a beard. Get YOUR mind out of the gutter. This site is for concerned parents.

I used to watch the show and get angry, but now I watch it and just feel sad for them. Both Jon and Kate have a lot of psychological problems that are very clearly shown on the show. TLC says they emphasize things for ''good TV'' and ''drama'' but you'll notice that a lot of TLC's shows revolve around human freaks. My husband calls it the Human Freak channel, and rightfully so with shows like ''Pregnant for 30 years'' or ''Tree Man'' and so on. It's always about someone with a strange & bizarre disease, abnormalities and deformities, people with ten thousand kids, people getting sex changes, etc. It seems to be trying to highlight all the strange oddities about humankind. And on one hand they are helping make the ''freaks'' more understood and accepted, which is great in the case of ''Little People, Big World'' for example, but it is NOT a good thing to make it look acceptable to act like Jon + Kate, or to be like the Duggars and give birth every year for 18 years in a row and counting

The Duggars and Jon + Kate have severe psychological issues that need to be examined, not displayed for imitation by people who don't know any better, and most of their fans are people who don't know any better. I wonder if TLC doesn't have a hidden motive to make an example of these people to advocate social change? Like they are trying to get these shows to a point where they will attract attention from activist groups or lawmakers who will do something to stop people like them from being allowed to do what they do?

''In a recent episode when they were walking in the woods, one of the girls hit another kid with her stick and instead of just telling her to put it down b/c she lost her privilige, he nastily grabbed it out of her hand and snapped it in two and threw it and told her something snide. It was awful.'' I agree and I think Jon is the one on here threatening people. I read on another blog that Jon threatened people if they told on some of the things they did. I don't know if that is true, but that sounds like the threatening that has been happening here.

The show makes me very uncomfortable for many reasons--as does most reality show programming. I love and appreciate documentary films, but they end. In contrast, reality series feed an endless obsession and pose potential harm to participants and viewers alike. The case of 'the real reason' Jon was fired makes me think--doing a side job on company time is wrong, and is undoubtedly a terminable offense. In such circumstances though, many employers might have opted for issuing a warning. I can imagine it crossing the Gosselin's minds that the situation gave the boss a way out of insurance expenses. Jon shouldn't have done what he did, but it doesn't mean that the suspicion of the boss's motivations was inaccurate. There are so many shades of gray in life. That is lost in this "age of information" and "reality". I often think we have never been further from those things than now.

I know all you fans like myself are wondering why Jon & Kate's PR people would say Jon was just blowing off steam in those pictures. We all know that wasn't Jon and at all and we've been saying it all along. I emailed Jon & Kate's PR people to tell them that Jon is a perfect husband and father and how could they admit that was him? Someone emailed back right away telling me the WHOLE story. She says that indeed that wasn't Jon in the picture, it is actually the husband of a GWOPer who had plastic surgery to look like Jon. He is going out and impersonating Jon to smear him. They couldn't tell that part because it would cause more controversy and they just want this to go away. Those GWOPers will stop at nothing to ruin Jon & Kate, even thousands of $$ worth of plastic surgery. I have to go now, Kinko's just called and my life size cutouts of all the Gosselin kids are finally done. My cats and I are having a tea party with them today!

You hardly quoted anyone in the article. You can barely tell you spoke with anyone; it just feels more like you watched a bunch of episodes and wrote your article based on your own opinions. And don't even get me started on the fact that you turned to Gosselins' Without Pity. Pathetic. I wouldn't have printed this if I were your editor. It's a waste of time. Yes, I'm a fan of the show/family, but I do realize they have problems they need to work out. I just wish crappy journalists like you wouldn't write about them.

I am hoping this will finally end now that Octomom has shown the extreme of what that sort of goal leads to. Kate is a horrible, selfish, demeaning, vain, and rude person. But Jon married her & chose to agree to the breeding, so as badly as she treats him, it's his own fault. Also, why has Jon been canceling his appearances lately & only Kate shows up?

TLC would not be able to control what she said. Recently, Julie said on her site that Jodie no longer wanted to speak out. Jodie no longer wants to talk about Jon and Kate, or the children, this according to Julie's site. Please provide verifiable facts to back-up your comments concerning TLC's involvement in having the video removed.

You can see from the look on the older girls faces that they are miserable. I just don't understand why all these talk show hosts just keep interviewing them and praising them. What is going on in this world when everyone is always talking about protecting children and taking care of them while we are watching these kids being verbally abused, they are seeing abuse to the father and now he is out at clubs drinking.

Jessica Remo had "Jon and Kate's number" wink wink
Posted by Not Impressed | Mar. 9, 2009 at 4:18 PM

COMMENT:

When Jessica Remo posted a note on the front page of GWOP asking for people to contact her regarding Jon and Kate, many bloggers left posts wondering about whether Jessica would get the "real story" out about the Gosselins, i.e., GWOP's version of what horrible people they really are. One of the managers of GWOP (Serena, I believe) posted a comment saying not to worry Jessica "had their (Jon and Kate's) number" and was well aware of what was really going on. Of course, slang for having someone's number means you understand the real scoop about them or aren't fooled by them. When I read this on GWOP from Serena, I knew this article would be nothing more than a rehash of the comments and views of GWOPers, no facts or substance. If someone has a copy of the quote from Serena, please post it here. It was in the comment section attached to Jessica's note.

On Monday, they were warmly received on the Oprah show by the audience and Oprah...... And GWOP wonders why no one takes them seriously? Also, it doesn't help that a lot of GWOP's site is dedicated to making fun of Kate's hair, her clothes, her husband, her kids, etc., etc.....

Girl you are 100% correct, A bunch of women who can not stand their own life, probably can't keep up the little trailer they live in, so they sit and bash Kate Gosselin all day and night, :I hate the show, I hate Kate" yeah sure they do, thats why it's the biggest part of their life, I can not believe any one would spend that much time dis-cussing some thing I hated that bad, They are as sick as they come and Jessica is their right arm,

just finished reading the article about the Gosselin family and I have one word for you.....BRAVO!!!!!! Finally, someone has started to expose them regarding the money-hungry, high-brow lifestyle they have strived for by exploiting their infertility and subsequent family! Initially, I like thousands of others, tuned in to see the couple who had twins followed by sextuplets. The show was interesting and all who watched felt badly that they were cramped in a small home and that he had been laid off. It didn't take long for them to be offered a deal for a show, to purchase a larger home, be offered a free tummy tuck, which was denied by her insurance company, free hair plugs, teeth whitening, etc. They have managed to make a huge profit off of their children and her infertility issues. If you think about it, she and Jon are in their early 30's. If the twins are 8 or 9 years old, they would have been approximately 24 years old when the girls were born. If they went to college and then mar

This is a slap in the face for other women who struggle with this same issue and who can't afford IVF, who have difficult pregnancies. losses or children with permanent disabilities. Your article peaked particular interest when indicating the issues surrounding her sister-in-law and best friend and Kate's reaction to them being offered a contract. She wanted people around to help her with the kides, but once she and Jon made it big and they no longer needed the FREE assistance, these people were disposable! Karma is all around us and I'm sure that what goes around comes around! It is only a matter of time until we watch the "perfect" family with all of their fame and fortune unravel!

If they went to college and then married, how long were they trying to achieve a pregnancy before infertility treatments became an option? I was a nurse in Labor and Delivery for over 20 years. In all of those years, the women who underwent IVF, had usually tried to become pregnant for well over a year and had utilized other infertility treatments before opting for IVF. Did Kate know a physician who could assist her? Did she try any other treatments prior to IVF? Where did they get the money for the treatments? How do you go on TV and tell everyone about your plight and lack of funds, but you can afford IVF not once, but twice?! She states that she has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, but she looks nothing like the individuals I cared for with this same syndrome. If you look up the symptoms, they include, weight gain, increased body hair, acne, etc. Does she appear to have any one of these symptoms? This is a slap in the face for other women who struggle with this same issue and who can't

GWOP Goes Too Far (yet again)
Posted by WWWW | Mar. 11, 2009 at 1:38 PM

COMMENT:

Some posters at GWOP are upset that GWOP is doubting Kate's PCOS. (Yes, even managers of GWOP leave comments questioning Kate's condition.) People with PCOS have a range of symptoms, all of varying degrees. Accusing Kate of lying is strange and adds to the thinking that GWOP has gone too far. Just an example of why no one takes the stalking neighbors who founded GWOP seriously...

I have also chose to stop watching "Jon and Kate" after I found out they moved into a $1.3 million dollar home. I have started to feel that the kids are shuffled around like a commodity and it's strange how Jon and Kate are so quick to cut the kids off from good friends (Beth) and family (grandparents, Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jodi). Hope they are planning and saving on what to do when everyone finally gets smart on what's going on and decides not to book them on speaking engagements and the sextuplets go off to school and aren't available 24/7 for filming! Kate is a poor role model for her kids for cutting off important people in her kids lives and constantly berating her husband!

GWOP and Karma
Posted by Elizabeth | Mar. 11, 2009 at 2:45 PM

COMMENT:

I find it so interesting that many on GWOP talk about karma and believe that the Gosselins are in for some much deserved bad times. But, there is no acknowledgement from GWOPers that what they say about the Gosselins could indeed come back to hurt the accusers at GWOP (that is, if you believe in karma). There is so much gossip and rumor on GWOP, not much based on facts. And that doesn't even include the purely spiteful, mean, nasty comments directed at the parents and children alike. Tell me, GWOPers, when will karma come your way? When will you pay for all the lies, half truths, and outright vile comments so popular on your site? Karma is a two way street. But, you seem to only be hoping that karma is directed toward Jon and Kate. If karma really does happen, it will find even those nameless people, in their homes on a computer, spewing lies and hate into the world via a web site.

I'm new to this site, but haven't seen this addressed before. From watching the show, I can see that Hannah is "favored" - but is "favored" the wrong term? I've wondered if she has Downs Syndrome - that might explain why Kate "prefers" her. I'm a special education teacher, and know there are varying degrees of Downs - but was thinking if this was the case, then posters should be a bit more understanding & kind towards Hannah.

We need to find the amount that Kate & Jon put on PA's tax payers, and they were a couple and married. The state paid the hosp. bill and years of nursing services and so much more!

COMMENT:

Guess who the main "source" is for the Us magazine article on the Gosselins? A former NEIGHBOR!!! Since it has been well established that GWOP was started by neighbors of Jon and Kate, I'm sure GWOP is the "source" of the US article. Now that everyone knows that neighbors started GWOP, they can come out and talk since everyone knows they are behind GWOP. If you read the article it is nothing but gossip and rumor from the neighbor. Managers of GWOP have stated that they won't be happy until Jon and Kate are divorced. I guess they forget about their beloved belief in karma. Personally, I think it will just make the ratings go up and Jon and Kate's marriage stronger. And, in the end, the evil GWOP has spread will come back to them, just like the karma they love to talk about. I alos think GWOP talked with US because they were unhappy with how the Philly Mag article was received. GWOP is lashing out and upset about not being taken seriously.

I don't think anyone, even GWOPers want the marriage to fail. People who are not fans of Jon & Kate want the show to go off the air so the children can live a private and anonymous life. It seems Kate is grabbing most of the attention now. Hopefully, she can capitalize on her "brand" (whatever that may be) and let the kids be kids. Most of the states in this country have no rules regulating children who appear in reality shows. The main fear here is people are going to start coming out of the woodwork (Nadya Suleman, anyone) wanting to put their kids on TV to hit the lottery. People who watched the Gosselin kids endure a two day photo shoot for GH, one of the days in 93 degree weather & sweaters, CAN NOT say they aren't working. They were. If given a choice I'm pretty damn sure they wouldn't have done it if it was up to them. If the marriage does fail, that would be a shame. When the show started they seemed very happy. Was the money worth it?

You state, "Was the money worth it?" Gee, that sounds like you are saying they deserve a divorce. All GWOPers talk about karma. But, what you and GWOP fail to see is that karma works both ways. When you work to destroy someone (yes, that's what GWOP and their supporters are doing) it comes back at you. By the way, I think Jon feels he needs to speak out, not because anything happened, but because he wanted to defend Kate against attacks. He wants to protect her from the witch hunt, that's all.

What amazes me is how all these blogs disapprove of the Gosselin's and they why they live their lives.....THEN WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU CONTINUE TO WATCH IT?????? Stop watching it and shut up! Do some volunteer work or something else with your time and energy

no you are not "concerned" for the kids, go back to GWOP and stay there with the reast of the liars, you people could not care less about those kids, and if you are not watching the show then why the hell are you on here talking about it? and really where are your kids? and how well are you taking care of yours? now theres a question for ya to think about.

What was the point of this story? You haven't said anything that wasn't already stated by another site or article on the family. The people who would read this article are the people who would have already read the other sources. This doesn't add any knowledge, and frankly wastes everyone's time.In the future, don't go parading your article before you know how much evidence you can get together and how much it will actually affect their reputation. And the fact that you had nothing better to talk about than celebrity gossip, when there are plenty of REAL injustices around the world, is just pitiful.

I couldn't agree more. For GWOP to cloak themselves in "child advocacy" is disgusting. I also wonder what good moms have the extra time to run a hate site. My company has a web site and I pay someone full-time to run it. And we don't even review and post comments like GWOP, which must take loads of time. Even with several GWOP managers, the time involved must be huge. They are either taking that time any from their children or their employer (i.e., working on GWOP at work). GWOP is so closed minded and surrounded by only those who see everything their way, they have no sense of reality. Someone commenting on this blog said they worked for Children's Services in PA and thought the Gosselins should be investigated. She claimed to be an actual state child welfare worker. If that is true, I am horrified. What must she base her other case work on? Lies and rumor? I think GWOP is a prime example of a mob mentality. It is scary to see how little common sense people have.

ITA with you about the State worker espically, you are right it is scary to think that a social worker would spend time on a blog when there are so many children falling thru the cracks of the state,How about the little boy in Kansas, who has been missing for 11 yrs? and his foster parents did not even report it, nor did the school, where was his socila ser. worker? on a blog trying to figure out her work load? They say there are not enough social workers, well I can see why, b/c they don't give a damn about these kids in the system, they are too busy getting paid to do nothing, I know they are not all like that but tyhe workers should be monitored more closely, That little boy has never been found, but the foster parents was receiving payment for him all those years, So Thank You for bring this matter up, I'm going to try to find on here where she posted that if you find it will you please post it ?

I think Leigh made many good points about the Gosselins and their show. Because she can actually write and make sense, GWOP has a hard time responding to her points. Many people, like me, don't buy the Gosselins' book or give them money, but we do watch the show. I also completely agree that the G kids are much better off because of the show. That is the simple truth. Comments on GWOP's site sound exactly like the founders, jealous, petty people (who happen to be former neighbors of Jon and Kate!). Leigh made good points and didn't sound like a silly "sheeple". Because of this, GWOP and Kate haters are stunned and don't know how to respond in a way that doesn't use gossip, rumor, or childish remarks.

I am a writer for network TV and I find reality shows interesting subjects to study. I look at Jon and Kate Plus Eight from a purely objective business point of view.

Any problems, real or imagined, in the Gosselins' marriage will just add more layers and drama to the show. People will watch to see if they can see any underlying clues or more tension between Jon and Kate. I am sure that sites about the show have in fact increased the ratings, which is all the companies that advertise on the show really care - ratings. Period. All the subplots....Jon's job loss, Aunt Jodie, Kate's attitude, Beth, Mady's meaness, the new money, etc., etc..... It is ratings GOLD!

People are disgusted by the fact that Jon doesn't have to work now and disgusted because he tried to work two jobs and was conveniently fired just before his wife gave birth? Please.

People could RELATE to their lives and who could deny those children are just adorable? Originally, Jon left for work in the morning after helping with the kids and we all had at least a little admiration for a woman that was so Type A that she could pull all this off. The show began to take a different tone once the free plastic surgery and the hair plug episodes aired, closely followed by one free trip after another.

I don’t doubt that there may be some truth here; but the purely spiteful comments are just ridiculous. I think most people would love to have to opportunity to travel with their children they way this family has. I would. I would love to have the comfort of knowing that ALL of my children will have their collage education taken care of. In general, these children seem very well rounded. They have rules & boundaries. They are learning to give back. Give this family a little slack. They are not perfect & neither are any of us.

I've noticed that instead of worrying about clipping coupons now, Kate is instead worried about whether Aunt Jodi was feeding her kids "organic" treats. Buying organic can be extremely expensive, so you know that they must be doing pretty well financially if they only feed their children "organic" foods. They've probably made enough money already to live pretty comfortably for the rest of their lives. I think that for the sake of their children they should stop. Their children deserve to live normal lives.

I think it’s extremely narcissistic and delusional of Kate to think someone is jealous; and any “fan” who argues the jealousy point too is just sadly misled—what is there to be jealous of? A tacky poorly-built McMansion in hicksville with dreadful interior décor, a huge f-ugly car that would embarrass any kid on the planet, and selfish entitled parents who publicly humiliate themselves and their children on national TV every week?

In response to the nasty pro-Gosselin person raving about Karma.

In terms of Karma, I do not understand what you feel needs to come back to those who don’t like the Gosselins? “Spreading Hate” was one thing someone said. I don’t think people commenting honestly about how they were mistreated by the couple is spreading anything but truth. All I know is I stopped watching that awful show (more like a 30-minute commercial) because I realized Jon and Kate are never going to get better. I thought when life got a little easier for them they might ease off on the abuse and I genuinely hoped and prayed they would change, but it only seems to get worse. And that my friend is real Karma. Jon and Kate got what they deserved; each other. They will always have to deal with the fact that they are married to each other,

Jon and Kate's new-found lofty attitude is hard to swallow and a real turn-off. Kate was always entitled, but now she thinks she has something to stand behind it. Just watching her you can tell she feels she's finally ''come into her own.'' As if she were too good for everyone she ever knew her whole life. By the way she treats the producer, you can tell she thinks she's even better than her. Sorry Kate, any producer these days has a top college education and probably private boarding school before that. The tragic poitn is Kate wouldn't know how to fit in with those people if you tried. She doesn't even understand how far out of that league she is. Often people who aspire to grandeur are so ego-centric they can't recognize their own faults because they

COMMENT:

I no longer watch the show; the emotional child & spousal abuse is too vulgar. If you are one of the people arguing that a ‘’roof over their heads’’ and paid-off this or that equate to a non-abusive life and automatically make you “healthy,” then you are too ignorant and underdeveloped for me to explain it to you. Life is not about superficial money-made things. As you’ve seen in the new episodes, money doesn’t change the yelling and compulsive obsessions. Emotional availability, manners, appropriate limit-setting, nurturing, role modeling, and moral education are all part of a healthy homelife, and they cost nothing. These dynamics are either skewed or absent from the Gosselin children’s lives. The sheer number of these children all in a similar age range makes most of these aspects of parenting impossible for even the best parents. In Jon and Kate’s case, the positive qualities of life have been replaced with negatives. (continued below…)

…Sometimes the abuse is subtle, sometimes not. But either way, if you can’t plainly SEE the disappointment, rejection, abandonment, ridicule, humiliation, manipulation, exploitation, and deceit going on in every episode, then you don’t understand what EMOTIONAL ABUSE is in the first place, and I am sorry you can’t see that. It is a psychological fact that most people who were abused themselves as children (and never properly confronted it) are incapable of recognizing when it happens in their adult life (and without therapy are most likely to repeat it) so perhaps those defending Jon and Kate’s behavior are just protecting their own childhood scars, and their own bad parenting? Perhaps it makes them feel better about their own hurting lives to watch Jon and Kate stew in dysfunction each week? (continued below…)

I resent those comments about dysfiunction in the Goselin house! I grew up in a home just like the Goselin one and my mother had her clenliness issues like Kate but I turned out very well thanks. I don't abuse my kids. Abuse is hitting. What is emotional abuse anyway? Sounds like hooey! Kate doesn't have emotions with her kids and that is the way is should be. Having emotions is molesting your kids. Kids don't need that much attention. You sit them with their homework and if they can't do it they get punished. If they make a mess they get punished. If they cry in public they get punished. Kate doesn't read bed stores because she's too educated for that. John doesn't take their wining because he is a strong father. They are very good strict parents. Those kids will grow up like me.

Just weighing in from the Main Line here, along with my friends from Fairfield County CT and Westchester County NY… we just want everyone to know that in our hometowns Jon and Kate are considered gold-digging White Trash who have no class or manners whatsoever. So no matter how much money they ever earn they will never be accepted by polite society because they are gross. Rich people typically have 2 or fewer kids (check your stats) and don’t speak with trashy Philadelphia accents. Rich people don’t scream about coupons. Rich people don’t have ghetto haircuts like Kate and bad dye-jobs. Rich people don’t drive huge minivans or vacation at Disney World or “Dutch Wonderland.” Lastly rich people don’t live in bumble-uck PA. Ew! Yuckie! Jon and Kate need to stay where they are because they know they will never make it in real society.

And, if they ever divorce that would be the instant end to the show (and they know it) so it’s a double-edged sword. Either they stick together miserable for eternity, or they break up and lose their big ego ticket. Or—here’s a radical suggestion—or, they could grow up and get counseling to change who they are and grow up and heal their issues and work to be better people and ask for forgiveness from all of the droves of people they have offended.

The show is tanking because it appealed to little Betty Crocker Grandma types, or new parents struggling with child-rearing, or Martha Stewart-ies who wanted Kate lame ''tips'' on running a household. The show is now just a chronicle of a litter of spoiled children plaguing the PA countryside. It is a national epidemic (A SOCIETAL PROBLEM), not ''entertainment'' to behold and mimic. The show turned pretty awful because the family did. No wonder the rest of the world laughs at us.

terrible it destroyed the first 30 years of my life! And I would have told you at the time I liked what I was doing, but kids don’t know what they’re talking about sometimes. I wasn’t ALLOWED to FEEL how I really felt. My mother was so dependent on me to be this perfect little girl, and meet all her high expectations, and I tried so hard to be what everyone wanted I developed a nervous disorder. Kids try to adapt to what adults want from them because they think they have to do it to survive. If you have a parent who doesn’t care about your welfare and cares more about what they want, then a kid really does need to adapt in order to survive. Thanks to how my mother exploited me, I headed for disaster. I constantly felt fake, and never knew what to think because I expected people to tell me what I should do. Then I felt not good enough, or like people would only like me if I did what they wanted. I also felt like people expected things of me due to the little ''fame'' I had, and they exp

expected me to be and act like a ''star'' and I didn't want to be one. I became compulsive with OCD (like Kate) and then developed an eating disorder. As I got a little older, I realized deep down I hated the people who were forcing me to do all these things, and I began acting out by shoplifting (when I was only 12) and smoking to try to turn them away from me so I could be left alone to have some privacy. It culminated in a suicide attempt when I was 14! Luckily I was going through an ''awkward'' stage and my mother turned me over to an institution for mental help. Had that intervention not happened, I probably wouldn't be here to tell you this story. I definitely wouldn't be smart enough to see how sleezy and disgusting Kate and Jon are to do to their kids what my mother did to me.

I was photographed and given lots of attention and appeared on TV and commercials for most of my childhood. I never got time to myself, I never got to play with all the toys people bought me, and when I did my mother was after me to make sure I didn’t get hurt or mess up my face because I had to look good. I was physically free of disease so I guess you'd call that ''healthy'' but mentally I was extremely depressed and disturbed by being robbed of a childhood just for my psycho mother's ego!

Your comments were so utterly fake. No one thinks you are actually from the "Main Line". You probably just learned what that meant and decided to use it here. Give us all a break and go back to GWOP. Indeed, many self-made millionaires probably have a lot of respect for Kate. Here is a mom, with eight kids, who has secured their financial futures. No one understands the importance of money like the wealthy. Whether GWOP likes it or not, Kate has provided security for her very large family. Self-made millionaries understand how hard that is to do. (And no rational person believes the BS about the kids having "jobs". Please, that's just silly.) By the way, if you were truly from CT, Kate would not shock you. After all, we have already dealt with Martha Stewart. Martha makes Kate look like a real doll.

Like most of Connecticut, Martha would probably be nice to Kate's face and then turn around and tell people that matter what she really thinks. And it would probably be on par with what someone said about Oprah--''Also, did anyone see Oprah's face when she was looking at that family, she was like ''EW! Get them off my stage so Phylicia Rashad can come on up in here and I can smile!'' She was like ''ew they stink of farts'' or something. It was hilarious. Poor kids, sitting there like dumb as dumb. Oprah was so uncomfortable she looked like she made up her mind right then never to have kids.

It doesn’t add up. -- Also, your tone and verbiage is quite aggressive and mean. What is going on in your life that you feel this need to attack people?

What you should ask the managers and supporters of GWOP

"What is going on in your life that you feel this need to attack people?" - ANON 10:11PM_____________________________________This is a comment that many people feel should be directed towards GWOP. Who wastes countless hours writing, reviewing, posting, and running a web site that is home to nothing more than gossip, rumor, half-truths, and downright lies? GWOP brings out the worst traits in women - pettiness, jealousy, gossiping, etc... This is not how we should be teaching our daughters to act. It is beyond sad to read and really should be a case study for a mental health college course. Knowing that the site was started by neighbors of the Gosselins just adds to the creepiness. Honestly, what kind of people must they be to have started a site like GWOP? They attack Kate, but they never find fault with running a site like GWOP. The world is a sick, scary place and GWOP just adds to the garbage.

"TLC is trying to make these needy loosers who couldn't survive without handouts into heralded idols..." ----- Ahh... Are you watching the same show as everyone else? TLC ALWAYS puts on the good, the bad, and the ugly. I hardly think they are trying to make Jon and Kate into "idols". I also see you have a problem with my "tone and verbiage".... Haters of the Gosselins ALWAYS come after anyone who doesn't hate the show with attacks (and mock surprised shock), especially when anyone forcefully disagrees with them. I find this laughable (at best) and utterly delusional. No one's tone is more offensive, slanderous, and downright immature than GWOP and Kate "haters". Point the finger right back at yourself because you people are all alike. I guess in your mind it is OK to attack and lie about Jon and Kate, but not to criticize anyone with dumb, asinine comments posted here.

Wow!

I found the Jon and Kate Gosselin program by chance. I have thoroughly enjoyed catching up on past episodes between new episodes. My husband and I enjoy the children's expressions, energy, and their parents' delight when they see kindness between their children. They openly express
