Kate Gosselin's brother and sister-in-law, Kevin and Jodi Kreider, say they want to be "the voice of their nieces and nephews" who they feel are being exploited by the reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8."

"The [kids] don't want the cameras around. They have told me personally," Kate's sister-in-law told CBS' "Early Show" regarding the alleged wishes of the Gosselin children. "They would say, 'Aunt Jodie, I don't like the cameras on every vacation with us.'"

As for Jon and Kate, Kevin and Jodi say the couple has no plans to leave the TLC show. "They say their children are top priority but clearly [they're] not," Jodi said. "This should not be a form of entertainment."

"Jon & Kate Plus 8" airs on TLC Sunday nights at 9 p.m. Eastern.

  • While at hime, the cameras are only allowed access 2 days out of the week. I would imagine that Kate (who also did not partcularly like the cameras , especially not in her kitchen) would also limit the cameras while on vacation. I suspect that we...

  • If Kate treated Jon as a human being, this would not have happened. yes it was hard to bring up so many small children, but these was no excuse for Kate to be so mean to Jon.

  • It is time for them to decide what their priorities are - money and divorce or family and God. It is their choice. I hope the show is cancelled.
