Jon Gosselin: Kate Is Hiding Money

"The Insider" has the latest...

Jon Gosselin is speaking exclusively to "The Insider" on today's panel about his estranged wife Kate's claims that he withdrew $230,000 from their joint account without notifying her.

According to Jon, Kate's claims are "a total fabrication" and that he "withdrew $22,000 last Thursday" and has "the paper trail to prove it."

He goes on to say, "I've never taken any money out because over 10 years, Kate handled all the banking. Over the past four years of doing the show, we accrued $2,250,000. She says in the past week I took $230,000. I have withdrawn roughly $177,000 over the course of a year, which is less than 10 percent of what we made. That's like my paycheck."

On why Kate would make these claims, "I believe she's incriminating herself and not thinking clearly. She's wanting me to look bad."

Jon goes on to say he doesn't believe Kate is having trouble paying her bills, which she stated on the "Today" show this morning. "She's hiding money," he claims. "We have 11 bank accounts. That was just our joint account. She had a best-selling book. Where's that million dollars?"

Gosselin insists, "I didn't want these things to come public. I didn't want this to be embarrassing for her."

  • They are both idiots, who cares they have 8 dang kids, Kate is a control freak and Jon is a dim wit who went along with whatever Kate wanted, they chose too be implanted just like stupid Octomom did, what's sad is she and her ex-mate are getting paid millions to publicly raise those kids. Geez I can't wait till they are teenagers.... that reality show I would watch religiously, especially because you know they are going to rebel against the psycho Kate and when she can't control what they do anymore maybe her head will explode from all of the stress. This pathetic he said, she did, and she said, he did is even more ridiculous. Give us all a break and get real jobs and take care of your brood the old fashioned way, your family isn't really that special. That is the reality of all of it.

  • hello??? Is Jon serious when he says he wants to stop having everything in the media and just work it out between the 2 of them? Let's see, who's been on Larry King, Entertainment Tonight, the Insider, etc...in the last 2 weeks alone. Oh yeah, the guy who wants to keep everything out of the media.

  • Kate has plenty of money to pay her bills and it makes me angry that she would act like she is penniless! Then to say she would work at McDonalds if she has to-please!! She has gotten use to an extravagant lifestyle and now does not want to give it up- that is the bottom-line! So use to the lifestyle she will be parading her kids in front of the camera for the rest of their lives. I hope Jon puts a stop to it - she needs a reality check!

    • Money is in trust for the kids which Jon intends to tap into to pay for his girlfriend. Neither is a great parent, but this is a new low for Jon.

  • I am sorry but I believe Jon in this case.After 4 years of doing this show they should have had alot more money in the bank if this was the only account. Surely ( if they claim the show was for the kids) there must be more money. Poor Kate BOO HOOOOOO I can't pay my bills. What bs this woman is a real show stopper.

  • Is Kate supose to be supporting the kids? How about his child support bills? I think Job is trying to cut off their finances. I mean seriously, they had the show for so many years and "COINCIDENTALLY" when they were gonna cut the name Jon from the show, all of a sudden he gets all defensive and wants to stop the show. Who is supose to be supporting the kids? If its just Kate providing the money, KATE should have full custody!

  • I apologize for every bad thought I ever had about Kate. Now the whole world can see what she was dealing with. Jon was the ninth child!!

  • I believe Jon in then sense that there are several bank accounts. There is no way Kate is having problems paying her bills. This is her trying to get additional funds for their family or should I say for her. It upsets me to think that they totally make a living off of those children. Very sad. No child should be the source of income for any family. TV show is not a job. They have sold their kids. TLC is horriable for doing this show and has blame on the sense that they have created monsters in these parents. They did the show and now it has messed up the childrens family. Those poor kids,

  • The only reason John and Kate have the money they are so "Childishly" fighting over, is because of those poor children, who sadly have to call Jon and Kate, Daddy and Mommy. I think there should be a mediator, and all money made from that show should be put in trust for those children. It is a shame that strangers see the harm "Both" those parents are doing to their children.

  • Kate has one agenda and that is the Kate $$$. She is a liar. Squeeze some more tears out-no one cares. She is dispicable. Thanks goodness Jon saw the light. Now get those kids away from her.

  • I also believe Kate is only a "mother" when the cameras are on. Also, she keeps repeating "for my children." BULL KATE. I can't stand you and you are a fake. I have no question that you have money hidden and are playing dirty!

    • Go to therapy !! Clearly you are a man-hater !!! I'm a woman who raised her children as a single mom, who worked her but off to support them but most of all always did what was best for her kids.. Can't say that about Kate... but can say, at least Jon is trying to do what's best for his kids.. and doing what's best is getting them off the air and out of the public eye !!! Kate ought to be ashamed of herself!!! Have you watched recent episodes? It's all about poor Kate...She actually had to grill for the first time? But what she didn't say is that every morsel of food is paid for by TLC..She is a sick woman..and pretty darn fake !!!!
