Exclusive: Jon Gosselin's Lawyer Responds To Money Accusations

What Question Do You Want to Ask Jon Gosselin?
Copyright 2009 Lisa Wagner / Splash News
Reports of Jon Gosselin withdrawing large amounts of money from a joint bank account with estranged wife Kate Gosselin have sparked a new chapter of war for the divorcing reality TV couple. Following claims Jon withdrew the money without notifying Kate, his lawyer, Mark J. Heller, released a statement exclusively to "The Insider."

Heller says that according to Jon's "recollection" since receiving monetary compensation from TLC for the past four and half years, "he has not withdrawn any money for his own remuneration with the exception of the past several months wherein he believes he only withdrew approximately $175,000 which is less than ten percent of the gross revenues paid the Gosselins…"

Kate's law firm made the claim, according to Heller's statement, that Jon "withdrew the money in secret." Heller argues that all withdrawals are accounted for on the bank statements for which Kate has sole access.

Heller deems it likely that when all of the money is accounted for, "Jon will be awarded substantial additional funds." "The Insider" has reached out to Kate's legal representative for comment upon receiving Heller's statement overnight, but has received no response so far. Jon and his attorney Mark J. Heller will appear on "The Insider" panel on Monday. Click here to read the entire statement from Jon Gosselin's attorney.

  • Every one is on Jon's case,but no one seems to remember how she treated him.She was always slapping his face and then saying "did I do that" or calling him honey.If he was the one doing the hitting it would have been called spousal abuse and she would have had him hauled off to jail. She is more interested in how she lookes than those kids.She used to have Jon pick out her clothes because she said she didn't have good clothes sense.Who picks them out now?You all think she is such a good mother,but what mother takes 3 little girls on a hot air ballon ride an she is dressed in high heels and a short tight skirt.She certaily dresses a whole lot different since the boob and butt job.She is playing all of you suckers for a fool..

  • Jon bought a Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, $ jewelry, designer apparel, various substances, entertainment in Las Vegas, etc...That's a lot of peanut butter sandwiches, school books and bills that could be paid with that same money for the children. Jon went against a court order in unilaterally using those funds. Remember what a court order entails Mr. Heller?

  • Kate has always been insecure about Jon leaving her. That's why she made him quit his job so she can keep him from friends and the outside world. After the show started, Jon no longer was taking her crap! I'm proud of Jon!
