KICK HIS OUT TO THE CURB!!!! @sshole
-
Are you kidding?
Sure Kate was not an angel but I could see she "thought" that she had to yell to get his attention to do some simple thing.
He didn't want to be there then..... While she was caring for the kids he was out, well we all know doing what....So what has changed? NOTHING!!! -
i like Jon..don't get me wrong...but i voted no because he still doesn't know what he wants out of life....Really don't think he loves Kate anymore but he's seeing his gravy train going on without him...so he's afraid...I say no now...but you never know...if there was love there to begin with, they could find it again...stranger things have happened.
-
I don't like Kate. She is a nag, a harpy, a prima donna and SOOOO selfish. I haven't watched the program since the split. Too bad, because I was a loyal fan. Now I'm just disgusted with both of them. I think TLC should cancel the show. Kate was gone an awful lot, but seems everyone just got the message that Jon was not there. WRONG!! I'm an NOT saying that Jon is right, he isn't. They're both so caught up in themselves to see what they have done to their kids. My last show was Kate's blowup over a stupid coupon that Jon didn't use when he purchased something and Kate having a meltdown on camera and informed him, "That's it, you're not buying anything anymore." Add that to the digs that she couldn't stand "his" made up words (again on camera) but she does it and it's supposed to be right. Add that to the way she talked to him in the Toy store episode......Jon should have stood up to her and laid down the law....instead he pulled a little boy's act and ran away.... My opinion.
-
you are an idiot
-
You are not an idiot! I agree she is awful to him, always has been. That doesn't give him an excuse to do what he did, but I don't think that all of this is his fault. If they do get back together they both have a ton of work to do!
-
triple idiot
-
YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS WITH THAT BOOK YOU JUST WROTE
-
And how calm and pleasant would you be with 8 kids! Give me a break. Jon is a coward taking the easy way out. Kate has the bulk of the responsibility and stress with the kids.
-
-
too much tension between them. it won't work. too much water under the bridge. kate is way tooo controling. she is the type of woman that needs to be by herself.
-
It shouldn't be a question of whether Kate should take Jon back for the sake of the kids. My question is why would he want to go back to that shrew? She is a mean-spirited, evil mouth, hurtful person and if not for him missing the kids Jon is better off without her.
-
Also, the show should be cancelled.
-
It's not a matter of Kate taking Jon back but does he want to come back? From the beginning of the show I could not understand how Jon could live with Kate, she treated him terrible. She is very controlling and things had to be her way. I felt sorry for him.
-
Kate is too busy trying to be a celebrity. She should be thinking about the kids for a change
-
No way! He cheated once he'll cheat again.
-
if you think the cheating just started AFTER the separation then stay up and wait for Santa.
-
Kate shouldn't reunite with Jon.
-
are you kidding me he went on national tv and said he hates the mother of his children , that should make he fill real proud of himself
-
kate should only take him back if they truly want to be married and be a couple again. not for the kids or for ratings or whatever else... only to make their marriage work if thats what they want.
-
He is a putz
-
everyone deserves a chance...besides Kate was not so nice the first time...
-
no, they shouldn't get back together for the sake of the kids. because if they're not actually happy together, it'll just be worse for the kids in the long run. they can still be good parents whether or not they do get back together.
-
No Way !
-
JON is an IDIOT! He is very imature!
-
thoes kids need him more than part time!!!
-
For the sake of the children, Kate should NOT take Jon back. They'll understand one day. This doesn't, under any circumstance, mean that he shouldn't be in their lives; he should, and that in itself is all that is important in the mind of a child.
-
HELL NO !!!
-
NO WAY.....
I HATE THE NEW FORMAT...CAN YOU JUST PUT LARA BACK ON BY HERSELF...SHE IS A CLASS ACT AND THE ONLY CLASS ACT ON THIS STUPID PANEL!!!!! -
ABSOLUTLY NOT!! after everything hes done!! NO no NOOO!!!
-
johns a good guy america!!
-
Taking Jon back would be crazy for Kate to do... She wouldn't be setting such a great example for her children. She is better off without him!
-
Jon's always been a loser.
-
ONLY for the Right Reasons and it should be a slow process so the kids wont have to go thru another breakup! I thought that Jon would eventually come to his senses afther his Manopause breakdown But it has only been a couple of weeks since he told the world he hated her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-
Jon is a train wreck. He is a poor example to his kids. Kate needs to move on and divorce him now before he spends the rest of the money!!! TEAM KATE!!!
-
I am soooo sick of both of them. Take the show off the air. Maybe they can work things out of they are finally out of the limelight. I think that the enterainment made these two nobodies stars which they are not.
-
He has already proved he is an unfit man making him an even "unfitter" father. Maybe find those children a foster couple to love and direct them through the difficult course of life
-
I love Jon.The way evil Kate treated him always horrified me and my husband. I hope they get therapy for the kids sake. And I hope they Turn Off the Cameras!!
-
I don't watch that mess, so whether he's on the show or not doesn't matter to me. I think they both should be ashamed of them selves.
-
John is my favorit Gosselin!!!!!! Always has been!!!!!!
-
NO WAY!
-
Jon's actions are too little too late....
-
He is a jerk and deserves to be kicked out. He pretty much left when he slutted around with other women what an @sshole. He is very ugly so I am not sure of the attraction anyway.
-
Everyone has forgotten about the nickname Katezilla! She is so abusive to Joh. Remember when she denied water to her daughter Maddie. She is so passive aggressive that it is crazy. I think Jon needs to be in that home to protect his kids!!
-
No way, He left, and said not so nice things about her.
-
Please Kate don't do it! He is truly only looking at the monetary view! You need to look out for your children! I really can't stand the guy!
-
His timing as usual bad He wants to keep the money coming for himself NOT the children. Who would have him without it?
-
Jon wins!
-
I'd like to know how much of the money from the show is being put aside for the kids in a trust fund the parents cannot touch. They are both living a high lifestyle and I worry nothing will be left for the children. They seem to be all about the money.
-
No WAY! The kids will adjust without all the stress of their parents relationship. She is an attractive woman and can do better than him.
-
They should reunite and turn off the cameras!
-
Kate is a control freak that would be impossible to live with and Jon is obviously not ready to be in a serious relationship. The show should be cancelled as the children have been through enough.
-
Jon is a better father than most fathers. I think he knows he needs to be in that house more often b/c Kate is so controlling and abusive!
-
I believe if they still have feelings for one another, if only a little bit, then a lot of counseling should be involved and they should at least attempt a reconciliation
-
My advice to Kate is once a husband is a "cheat" always a "cheat".
Been there. Do what your heart says. You only have yourself to blame if he does it again. -
NO......she is in pain from all of this . I wish on The View when she was co-hosting they were asking her questions about her marriage ... that they would just leave her alone.....
-
woops wrong button. she shouldn't!!
-
Jon don't ever quit trying to be closer to your kids! So many americans and people worldwide understand your side! Don't let the wacky media make u change your self esteem!Take him back Kate.Christian morals were are u?
-
The question should read should Jon reunite with Kate . Kate loves to be in the spot light and the jet set life style and that will have to change for them to be a family again . she needs to learn how to treat people , she's a legend in her own mind
-
jon should not take kate back. She has used her and jon's children for money and fame. Anyone who has watched the program, knows how
verbally abusive and controlling she is. If Jon had done this, it would be totally different. -
They do still love each other. She has been so Cruel to him.She should take him back but she needs to be honest and go into couples therapy!Take him back for the kids sake
-
Kate should take Jon back ONLY if he wants to come back for the right reasons, which are that he still loves her and feels it is best that the children have two parents. If he only wants to come back to financially benefit from being on the show, then NO. He seems to be having difficulty making right choices for the right reasons lately. Mid-life crisis maybe???
-
I beleive that they should both seek therapy. She needs some time away from him and vice versa. As a mother of 4 children , every day is a challenge and as a women we take over a mommy role and forget that we were first just our partners, if she could remember why they hooked up and make him feel like a man again, and vice versa they may have a shot and the kids will flourish. this is an old story. no matter how many kids you have. its tuff.
-
John needs to stop being an embarassment to his kids & start being a good father.
-
I always vote for marriage over divorce - especially when children are involved. If Jon and Kate can find there way back to each other, I think that would be a wonderful gift to their children. All children want Mommy and Daddy together. They would need alot of forgiveness and then move forward!
-
He's an immature, selfish jerk who wouldn't hesitate to leave again when he thought the "grass looked greener". His children need a stable and loving father figure; poor Kate needs better psychological coaching.
-
I think there could be a better name than that. But I will keep it to myself. God will deal with him.
-
I think there could be a better name than that. But I will keep it to myself. God will deal with him.
-
Kate, throw your ring at Jon and run for the hills!
It's a trap! -
to the crib
-
no no no no
-
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! He's not a good person...see more
-
The should reunite and take a break from the show. If Kate couldn't "play" the camera, and her total girlish ways, they might work things out. It appears as though she lives to insult Jon on camera. In the first episodes she didn't act so bitchy. Jon needs to get some nards and tell Kate not to treat him like crap on the bottom of her shoe. No Jon, she is not always right no matter what she thinks. If they are not careful little Mady is going to be another Kate. Give those kids a break from the camera in their face all the time.
-
omg...what a whimp....grow up Jon....Oh now what are you going to do without Kate. How are you going to support your new lifestyle and the"love of your life"?
-
Jon is such a looser I wouldn't take him back if I had 20 children by him..
-
everyone is stupid because she should take him back!!!!!
-
Who said he wants to reunite? I think he has said that he would NEVER go back to her!
-
i think they should get back together because the show is not the same and i fell so sorry for the 8 kids
-
He's looking for a free ride anyway he can get it!! Even if that means using his kids!!
-
Good Lord people......remember who it was that FIRST started cheating ....NOT John but KATE with her body gaurd.....yep he sure did guard that body . NeitherJohn or Kate deserves to be parents to those 8 kids . They only care about fame and fortune and using thsoe precious kids to achieve it . They are disgusting !
-
Too bad Jon had the midlife crisis/childish tantrum. My guess is that he thought he would have a following as he was the abused husband. Well not so much, apparently. Decided to go public with the women while still married. So much for the weekly trips to curch. He is losing the paycheck because the public turned away. He will be a sad addition to some reality show featuring hasbeens
-
They are both wrong. The most important thing in a marriage is respect for your partner. She never showed that. She is a B-----. Ask her family....it is all about Kate Kate Kate...and I think she planned this for a career
-
I don't understand why either want all of this attention. Those kids are going to have a lot of problems someday because of these two jerks. Those two have a lot of growing up to do. I think it's time for TLC to cancel this show.
-
His only interest is financial and he is not concerned for his children - he's a jerk and once a jerk always a jerk! Better to be single then live with a jerk.
-
please people they would be perfect together if that show woudent ever be on and i love them sure they have alot of mistakes but the need to take care of that and star clean.
-
She is too good for him, and he wants back just for the money and fame.....once a cheater, always a cheater....he did not think of the kids when he was cheating, only himself, so why should he care about it now?
-
No way!! Jon makes me sick.
-
Only a month ago he was telling Andrew Cuomo that he hates his wife, now he wants to reconcile? Give me a break!!! He sees his meal ticket going away!!!! Let him try to hold down a job now! Maybe his entourage of women will take him in!
-
No way, been there done that!! Kate is better off without the extra baggage. He is a poor excuse for a husband and a dad. Jon has proven what kind of person he really is! You go Kate, you are better off.
-
As I have said before, Jon Gosselin needs to "disappear" from the USA!! Kick this LOSER to the Curb!!!
-
Jon Gosselin is the "World's Biggest Loser"!! Jon, get a "real job"!!!
-
The sad part is that in 8 - 10 yrs he will realize that he gave up some of the most wonderful years of his life with his kids to satisfy his need to be the "cool, naughty boy" that he wanted to be as a teenager. And for what??? Kate wasn't very tactful in trying to keep order in her home. I understand that w/ 8 kids, routine is necessary. Her downfall was she was angered because Jon's thought process didn't fall in line with hers. They both need to go their separate ways but develop a amicable relationship for the sake of the children.
-
Kate shouldn't reunite with Jon. After all the tears that he had brought to Kate... She deserves the 'Kate Plus Eight' and his EX-husband will really regret it soon
-
You should take him back and go to counseling. Kate, you need to remember why you loved him and chose him to be the father of your children. No one likes to de talked down to the way you did to him. You are always saying you will do anything for the well-being of your kids....take him back and make it work. That would set a beautiful example for them about mistakes, forgiveness and the meaning of marriage vows.
-
Wow No way!! Too much has happened and Kate should avoid catching a STD from Jon after jumping in bed with one women after another.
-
No way! Why would anyone take someone back that says he despises you. I also think that it is better for the kids that they have a calm, stable home, not one with turmoil.
-
I wish these kids would go to a competent relative and they both wallow in their poverty, they both make me sick.
-
Staying together for the kidsif you don't love each other would be harmful for the children. Sharing custody and parenting is better.
-
HELL NO!!!!! she should not take him back. The kids will be much happier if they're parents are happy and they (the parents) were clearly not happy together.
No woman deserves the B.S. that he slung, she should not have to put up with it and neither should the kids. -
I think the show should go off air and let them work on being on family and Jon and Kate work on their marriage.
-
ya everyone needs a father and
-
Hell No!!! Kate should not take back Jon... She shouldn't go to his level..
-
He's a loozer and I'm tired of seeing her on Tv she should be home raising her kids instead of exploiting her kids on TV.
-
Kate should watch her back and the kids looks like Jon is trying to get back with her not for love but for gain very sly DONT FALL FOR IT GIRL YOU CAN POSSITIVELY DO BETTER ALONE AND HE KNOWS IT. HE WILL STILL KEEP CHEATING AND TREATING YOU BAD ON TV AND IN FRONT OF THE KIDS DONT LET THE KIDS SEE IT ANYMORE
-
Jon's behavior since leaving kate has been despicable. Ok I get that Kate disrespected Him on national television. That does not excuse him dating women half his age. That does not excuse him dating the daughter of the Doctor that did Kate's plastic surgery. My opinion is that he needs to get his priorities straight.
-
He is not man enough for her. He walked out and cheated so he is not worth it. A cheater will always be a cheater. Dump him.
-
NO! He just wants the money. Kate is stronger than that, I would hope. He needs to get checked for diseases before she even thinks about it. The children are better off having them apart. Together they will only ruin those childrens lives. He needs to grow up. Kate needs to stay away from him until she gets her strength back. God bless them.
-
I think Jon is a very good father but he never really wanted to have his family on TV. Kate on the other hand loves being in the camera's face. She is not the perfect mother that she professes to be. If she was, she would set examples by showing the children what a loving wife she is to their father. I've never seen that example even once. Instead she puts Jon down every time she gets the chance. She is teaching her children that parents are not loving to each other. Since Jon refuses to argue or fight in front of the camera and the children some would say he's not a man. I give him alot of respect for that. He's a much bigger man than she is a woman. Kate has no respect for her husband and her children are seeing and learning that everyday. What kind of husbands and wives will their children grow up to be? I think Kate should take a real good look at herself and be thankful that Jon is willing to try again for their marriage and their family.
-
a man? wasnt he the one who was putting play doh up his nose? he may refuse to argue, but it doesnt stop him from making face and rolling his eyes. how about when he told her to take the stick out?? maybe jon could have showed what a loving father he was. dont forget he was the one who got fired for surfing the internet for freebies at work.
-
-
its a very hard decision,sometimes you hafte to think of the kids but john went somewhere else and that hurts alot,so kate it is a tought decision ,and its all about the TRUST,you guys been throught alot together.
-
Why should it be Kate taking him back y not him taking her back, No Jon remenber the verbal abuse don't do it
-
Staying together "for the kids' sake" is the worst idea ever. You stay together because you love each other and want to work things out. These people should not be on tv in any shape or form. They need therapy to get their heads together.
-
Why she should? She can't trust him. He was seeing different women before. Kate can do better than that. Jon never listen to her. FORGET JON!!!!! GO GIRL!!!!
-
As a single mother of multiples recently divorced form a “clone” of Jon Gosslin the answer is NO! Kate’s hand are full and she doesn’t have time to raise a ninth child. She have done so much better without him and the less time she spends cleaning up Jons messes and more time for kids. He does not deserve her or the kids, he made his choices and he needs to learn to live with those choices. Jon is a very intelligent man, he knew what he was doing every second of every day. For the sake of the children… PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not take him back. Do not teach your five daughters to be door mats, letting their future husbands be lazy, disrespectfully, selfish, irrational, cheating, slobs that still come home when it’s not fun anymore. Do not teach your three sons it is acceptable for a man to walk in and out of adult responsibility when ever they fell the urge to have extra marital activities, leaving you holding the fort, while he tears peoples lives apart every where he goes. He's distroyed every good thing he had going in his life, don't let him distroy these kids futures too.
-
It was inevitable that they would split. The way Kate treated Jon drove him away, and that resulted in his recent behavior. I was a huge fan of the show before, but now with all the tabloids, it seems like the whole family has been tainted. Those kids will definately need therapy!
-
As a mother of multiples myself, I definitely think that she should not take him back. I truly understand what Kate is going through. She already has 8 kids, with him back that would make 9.
-
He is only doing this in response to TLC dropping him from the show. Now he will have no income from the show.
-
This show has become a CIRCUS. It's run its course - time to go. Jon and Kate should not get back together, but it's their business. Jon would be nuts to go back unless he loves ridcule. Kids hear everything, Kate. I would not vote you Mother of the Year. You two should pull it together for the kids sake and stop acting like kids yourselves.
-
i watched this couple change from the first episode of their show to the present. there is love there, they were in love, but let the fame of it all get in the way. Jon became more reserved, and Kate a diva! But I dont know many that go from nothing to having money and not change. if they can find them selves asgain, there just may be hope.
-
I know others have worked it out. I would love for them to make up. They both need to grow up and make wise decisions, or they will regret it when looking back in a few years.
-
Absolutely Not!, she has enough children to take care of!
-
if these two reunite it should be because they've worked out the issues in their relationship. cheating is a huge 1! obviously the children we're not considered in that decision, they should not be used to continue in this toxic relationship. kate should say good riddance to jon and find a real man!
-
Lots of marriage counseling but it will survive.
-
No, if you try to stay together just for the kids that's where the real problems come! Because you are trying to hide the feelings from your kids there is going to be more late night scream matches. I think Kate is such a witch! And Jon's no better, really. I do think that they should split though, as for the kids....I wish the best of luck to them, and at least let Jon and Kate put aside their differences so that they can have two healthy homes to go to.
-
Jon is not acting like a responsible adult father of eight children. Instead he is acting like a kid in a candy shop. The insult to viewers is that we paved the way for this by making "Jon and Kate plus eight" a hit show affording Jon Gosselin the lavish lifestyle he now chooses to live away from his family. Yes, On their show, Kate wants excellence and organization for her children but, Jon always answered back when he felt her comments toward him were out of place. So, no sympathy there for you Jon. Why bite the hand that feeds you now that you messed up?
-
I think they are both to blame. Kate for being a constant nag and a confidence killer and Jon for letting her. Listen I'm a wife and a mother and I know I get on my husbands case about things (just ask him - he'll tell you). BUT I wouldn't embarrass him in public let alone on national TV and he respects me enough to do the same. Recent episodes Kate seems like she is trying to work on her "behaviors." I hope Jon is doing this as well and in doing so they can get through this seperation/divorce without harming their children any further.
-
I believe any relationship is worth saving if you both want it and are willing to put 110% into it. Call me unromantic but I do NOT believe there is that perfect person out there for everybody. I believe you meet that person who gets your heart beating and the butterflies moving, but from that day on it's all work. Communication is key and if they want this for them (not the kids) and want to put 110% into it, then it will work. I think the cameras have to go - but that would be a lifestyle change that I do not think either one of them want.
-
I personally wonder if Jon should take Kate back. Have you watched this show and listened to the way she talked to and disrespected Jon. If she treated him like that on national TV, how was she treating him in private.
-
She's better off without him.
-
No, for one it is a volitile situation..i agree, But without privacy on and off the Tv nothing will ever get better.
-
What a jerk. He cheated, he rean out on his family and his wife, she deserves better. It's scary to get back out there and date but she can focus on herself then get back in the game slowly. He broke his vows, MOVE ON!
-
no, it would not be health for either considering all thats happened allready.
-
He has behaved like an idiot and now wants to reconcile for the kids sake? Absolutely not. He should have thought about this a long time ago before he dumped his marriage.
-
I belive that Jon was going through a mid-life crisis and if Kate truly loved Jon she would be willing to go to therapy and work on their relationship for the benefit of themselves and their childrens happiness. Kate certainlay needs therapy as well for the way she treated Jon that probally contributed in some way to his mental breakdown. You cant go through life bein that mean and cold to your husband the one you are suppose to love! They both need to stick to what their vowels said and be there for eachother, in the end that is all taht matters. You cant take the money with you when you go, all you take is the love you have.
-
Jon is a poor excuse for a man. Kate is strong and does not need this idiot pulling on her coattails. Go Kate!- Without that hair implant blading man!
-
I haven't seen Jon prepare any meals yet,have you?seems to me Kate does all the cooking and is with the kids more than him ,have a great life Jon!!!!!!!!!!
-
Ross,
Late SHOULD NOT take that dweep back....NO NO NO
Pammela48 -
Once a cheater, always a cheater, he has shown his true colors and voiced his selfishness about wasting his 20's by having a family.
-
why would want to be with someone who says he despises you; can't stand to sit on the same couch with you. If she does take him back it just go to show it all about the money.
-
they are stupid to even be together no one cares
-
Why should he take her back!? She treated him like an unwanted child. She was such a b**** to him and never let him complete his own sentences. Maybe your question should be "Should Jon take Kate back?" Why does this couple still get so much air-time?
-
Who is perfect? Well, at least we know that frog never turned into a prince. Now the frog is not getting a paycheck anymore and now he' s trying to cut Kate at the knees for his mistakes. Nice one, the stupid man. Don't take him back!!!
-
who needs a 9th child. especially one who is such a d......
-
Why in the heck would Kate ever take Jon back after all that's he done this summer with numerous women. He's had his fun and now he wants to come home and be a husband & daddy again. I don't think so......
-
JON IS BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER. THEY NEED TO JUST CONCENTRATE ON RAISING THE KIDS AS SINGLE PARENTS.
-
What happened to the kid he found that he said was his soul mate? huh? He also stated he loved girlfriend more than he ever loved kate. However, he IS the kids father even though he looks and acts like one of the kids or better yest a nine yr old with his hat on backwards and those Mr.Clean earrings
-
I believe in forgiveness and if it was a one time incident, I would say she should take him back. But it was over and over and more women have come forward. He has a problem and one she doesn't need.
-
They need a vacation alone and then one with the kids.
-
He should be ashamed of what he put his family through. He needs to grow up and just be a better father. He just wants the money which is even as worse as the behavior he has shown throughout the divorce.
-
i first sided with jon, kate seemed so controlling, but its obvious now that she had to be, he was lazy in the partnership, marraige, fatherhood department... he WANTED out,and got OUT!not her fault!
-
he got exactly what he wanted.... OUT.she is extremely smart, and will make the right decision, for HER.shes done it so far!
-
She needs a strong man and an equal.
-
If he is sincere and really wants to go back and not for the money and she is willing to try then they should, along with a lot of counciling. A lot of water has gone under the bridge the real thing is can she forgive what he has done
-
there NO debate, proof is in the actions, & his have been REPEATINGLY off the wall, & selffish on his part
he's a solid jerk! when all is said & done hope he can live with the mess he's made!! and its my hope those precious children survive
bigger & better than their father!!! -
Kate should not take him back. She already has eight children to contend with, so why on earth would she need or want the ninth back.
-
the kids come first despite what each parent does in this world. we ALL make mistakes that we may later regret but for the welfare of the children (they want to see their dad) Kate should allow Jon back. Reconciliation is all a part of a marriage. If Jon is sincere, he should be given another chance. If I made an error in judgment and wanted back in, I hope my wife would reconsider.
-
NO WAY SHOULD KATE TAKE HIM BACK!!!! HE HAS HUMILIATED THEIR FAMILY WITH HIS CHILDISH SELFISH WAYS. NOT TO MENTION WHAT DISEASES HE MIGHT HAVE PICKED UP WITH THOSE NASTY GIRLS.
-
if i were jon and i got mad at kate i would cancel the show just to get the agression out but cosidering i'm a fan that is bad that is terrible kate should not take jon.
-
by now everyone in the world should understand why Kate had to yell at Jon...since he left Kate & his CHILDREN to play house/playboy with others; he's been acting like a child. If he cared so much about his kids he would have kept his playboy ways out of the media & did not.
Kate and TLC should get a restraining order out on him to keep him away from the Children.
YOU GO KATE -
Of course, it is about getting back at Kate and TLC. He is pissed about he was dropped from the show, losing the money and restricted against getting a deal of his own.
-
I think that is a personal issue.I would not take hime backbut if Kate wants him back it not a bad thing she has to do what's best for her.But don't use that age old excuse it's for the children. Children are growing up everday without a dad.Should the dad be there yes but if he is not contributing to the household then he is a liabilty not an asset.
-
If the shoe doesn't fit don't put it on!
-
She's not that stupid!
-
The motive isn't important. These children should not be exploited for a paycheck. Both Jon and Kate have exploited these children.
-
PLEASE DON'T STOP THE SHOW.
-
I said no! Regardless of who`s at fault over the seperation. He totally dogged her saying he loved someone else more than he had ever loved Kate. Something`s do not need to be made public.
-
Kate is too classy and smart of a lady to dig down into the gutter to dig out the trash and garbage that Jon is now. He is ruthless and has no morals or character. TLC was right in limtiting his time. He should be on a x-rated channel.
-
Isn't funny a women bosses a guy around and she is a bitch! poor little john getting picked on by his wife. I wish I was more like Kate when I was married.. GO KATE!!!
-
John disses the mother of his kids on national tv....No way should she take him back, and I dont believe she will. I and my friends will write whatever letters we need to tlc to fight for Kate and the kids and put john where he belongs...out with the trash!!!!!!
-
Jon QUITS his job so he can stay at home with the children....what did he expect Kate to do sit home as well and live on the charity of others or better yet WELFARE. Jon is nuts....
-
I definately don't think Kate should take Jon back. He has changed too much. While I agree that Kate was a bit harsh in some episodes what mother wouldn't when they have 8 kids, and is going a million directions with little to no help from her spouse. I think I would go crazy too. I have always liked Kate and her parenting style. She has the children on a tight rope and they are so well-behaved. Things happen for a reason and maybe this was meant so Kate can find herself a better man.
-
Why are you giving Kate the power? Who cares. The question should be should the kids be off the air and the answer is absolutely, positively YES!!
-
JON YOUR A REAL JERK AND GO GET A REAL JOB!!!!!!!!!
KATES MORE OF A MOM THEN YOU ARE A DAD!!!!!!!!!!! -
Jon is so transparent. His 15 minutes should be over. First he acts passive aggressive, then he acts rebellious, then he acts conciliatory, and now he acts vindictively. Kate needs to get legal protection and proceed. I'd love to see her succeeding as a single mom
-

-
What happen to Jon's once proclaimed "Christian Values"?
-
Why would she? Hello!!!!!!!!!
-
run Kate run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Kate is where she needs to be. Considering the decisions he has made during his "mid life crisis", apparently she was the only adult in the relationship. He was just a big child acting badly. No wonder she yelled at him.
-
Forget Jon!!! He's in for the money and to get back at Kate!! Where was Jon before not at home! ? how about his girlfriends??? JON GET A LIFE111
-
Jon get a life!! He's in for the money and to get back at Kate! His kids should come first! Will he be able to pay for all those college eduations??!! Kate's thinking ahead.
-
He ruined his life, his children's life and his wife's life. Now he wants to destroy the show because he's been thrown off the show. He is immature, childish and an embarrasment to his family . He is toxic and he should go away with Hailey , they deserve each other. He can't be a father or a husband. He's a loser and Kate is a winner.
-
She would never be able to trust him.
-
When this show is over Jon will be Mr. Nobody again.
Anon -
It would never work. They are clearly 2 different people from when this started. Kate has matured, and Jon has digressed. I have a teenage son, so I can understand how frustrating it can be at times for Kate to deal with Jon. Good Luck maybe one day Jon will grow up!
-
Why would she want him back after all the trash he has been hanging out with...you don't see her subjecting her kids to this kind of trash..
-
Jon says he doesn't want to be on tv, but he seems to have a lot to say on tv. He should do us all a favour, and keep his mouth shut, behave like a father of eight children should, by supporting them and keeping his mouth shut about their mother. His children will read all this stuff at some point in time.
-
Marriage is suppose to be until death do us part we all make mistakes I think they should put Christ in there lives and try really try to work it out Kates has lots of issues not just jon for cheating she is controlling very bosy says mean things to him need prayer and big changes in life style the man is suppose be be head of the household.
-
She is better without him! She can do it all just as she has done the last five years.
-
If Jon cared about his children he would be involved with his soon to be ex-wife, with the decisions of the show together with Kate, with making public statements about not loving his wife, he is obviously mad and I can't believe any judge would allow his stop order without taking the children into consideration, what judge would do that?
-
Yes! Kate should take Jon back. They had fit so well together before and it would be great for the kids to have their parents together again. It is in their best interest as long as both parents can compromise and learn to work things out as a TEAM.
-
I stopped watching the show once they announced the separation. This is a family that lived their lives under the camera spotlight all the time and of course things will happen. I don't think that they worked their differences, I always thought that Kate was very anal, overpowering and always treating Jon like a child, she had the initiative for everything and he followed with her demands. Everything under the spotlight. I am glad that he stopped the show and I hope that Kate thinks more about her kids. They need a lot of counseling because one of them has a fat head, if not take a look at the Duggard Family they are a true example of how a large family has managed the stress of notoriety and they are simple people.
-
Like someone else said, he gross, smokes, drinks, does drugs and is a skank with diseases, I'm sure! Poor kids!
-
No! Kate should never take the "loser" back. Each time he appears on a TV show he gets more vile! The kids are the ones to suffer, does he care? No, He only cares about himself! Kate you can do it, you are strong.
-
I understand why he was wanting to leave Kate but don't cheat on her and the kids... Leave your wife and then go find a girlfriend... No Kate shouldn't get back with the loser... He can't make it on his own like Kate's been doing so he now wants to apologize, get a life buddy...
-
His actions are quite transparent. It's a power play to get released from his TLC contract so HE can film with his kids on the "Divorced Dads " show that he wants to do! Poor kids!
-
It is the right decision to stop filming. take the show off the air.
-
Stay away from Jon - once a cheat always a cheat.
-
I used to feel sorry for Jon when the family was together, although I understood why Kate had to be so tough. NOW, Joh is coming off as the most SELF-CENTERED man on the face of the earth. Now that the back-lash has begun, he want to change his tune. Too little too late Jon.
-
no katedont take back his .
-
Jon is the wimpiest man I have ever seen.Boy, he has gotten fat !
-
I feel sorry for their children. I think they're both extremely stuck on themselves.
-
I was on Jons side until tonight when he doesn't want the kids on the show any more. It was alright until his name got dropped What a jerk. Leave Kate alone she is with the kids not you
-
He's a LOSER!
-
I dont ever think it's good for kids to see mommy and daddy yell at each other and be mean. I think if Jon could just grow up a bit, this could all work out. I believe Kate is a good mom who gets upset at times but who wouldnt with 8 kids I mean 9 with Jon. She has a lot on her plate. I think they need to keep the show going for financial reasons. The Kids dont seem to be tramatized being in front of the camera.
-
When this whole thing began my husband and I saw what Jon was really like. Jon is just mad because he got fired, he wanted off the show, now he got he wishes but is still not happy. He wants the best of two worlds, his other offer of a reality show cannot come about per what I heard on TV because he has a contract with TLC. He needs to just shut his mouth and try to get on with some kind of life and let Kate and the kids be.
-
Kate should take Jon back only if she wants to alienate her entire fan base, as well as live with a spiteful, resentful, 32 yo boy who can't keep his pants zipped.
-
Im sorry but I am on Johns side. I hate the fact he cheated, that was very wrong. But Kate always put him down and always yelled. I seen John do more for those kids then her. Kate was always yell for him to do everything, while she kissed up to the camera
-
She know's how he feels , and he's made his affairs so public
she has thought of the best for her kids and he has not so she
can do it on her own as she has since june at least, the Lord will
guide her, maaybe Jon should check the Duggar Dad out! -
no,they can't get back toghter for the kids, and the show should be canclled cause would you want to one of those kids on tv with mom and dad acting like the kids age, on national tv, those mkids deserve to just kids, not kids on dispaly
-
JON DID NOT SUGGEST HE WANTED TO CONSIDER GETTING BACK WITH KATE. HE SAID HE WANTED TIME FOR HIM TO GET CONTROL OF THEIR LIFE. MORE JON, JON, JON. RUTHIE MAE
-
WHY GET BACK WITH SOMEONE THAT MIGHT YELL AT YOU AGAIN WHEN YOU GO WANDERING OFF LEAVING YOU WITH A BASKET FULL OF TOYS AND A BASKET FULL OF KIDS WHILE YOU'RE ACROSS THE STORE!!! BEEN THERE DONE THAT! IT'S HARD NOT TO HOLLER.
-
The guy is a scum bag only in it for fame and money.If insider and other reporter's would leave him alone and not report him ,I can assure you he couldn't stand it.Let him have his child girlfriend that proves how mature he is.Jon I'm sick of hearing or seeing you on the television "GO AWAY" FAR FAR AWAY....ur not remotely attractive and there is way too many interesting people in the world.
-
Jon hopefully will lose any custodial rights of the children due to his televised antics. We can only imagine what things he has done that have not been televised. If Jon truly took all of their money out of the bank leaving them with $1,ooo I hope the judge throws the book at him. Jon just figure's if his family need's money, Kate can withdraw money put aside in a Trust for the kid's. These are his words I heard on the Insider.
-
John is a childish jealous ass. oh i can't get my way so there u go. pay me or you can't film the show. John you are a Dumb ass
-
Sad.....Feel bad for these children. Kate has been a mother figure to this man, who obviously still has a lot of growing up to do.
-
Jon had my sympathy at the very begining because on the show Kate did come across as very overbearing; but Jon's behavior since the split has shown him to be a very immature little boy. Kate taking him back while he is still that little boy, would only be bad for the kids.
-
He is a creep. he said he cares about his kids in one breath, and in the next he says he is going to continue to date Haley. Get him out of their lives, let Kate continue the show on her own to secure the kids future. Obviously from his time on the Insider he never once mentioned how he planned on providing for the kids. If that is how Kate has to do it then let her go, at least it is better than what he is doing.
-
He said something on the Insider show about some offers. He is probably going to try for some kind of show of his own. hopefully the courts will let Kate keep the kids on a show of their own ans she keeps putting money away for them. Jon will only use the money to go out partying. That is obvious. And maybe Kate had reason to treat Jon as some of these comments have said she did on the show. he seem to be an immature jerk. I have never watched the show. I think reality shows are all scripted anyway. It is a waste of time to watch them.
-
ARE YOU KIDDING!
-
i think that kate should take him to child support court and get cps involed so they can check up on him and I think is for what is doing to his kids and wife.kate i think that you should do the show
-
Jon has acted like a complete idiot (wanted to use stronger language) since the split.
He was the first and only to do any badmouthing until she could only stand up and protect herself and the children.
She may be a bitch, but she isn't scum like him -
Kate would be crazy to take Jon back. He is behaving like an idiot and a total embarrassment to his children -- if not now, they in a few years. How is he going to provide any support for his children without the TV show -- get money from his rich girlsfriends or let Kate support the children and him?
-
Jon is just pretending to want to work things out. Isn't it funny that he accused Kate of being the one who wanted to be in front of the cameras. When he gets kicked off the show, he acts spitefully to get what he wants. The man needs to get counseling and grow up. Stop acting like a little child trying to punish mommy. It just hurts your kids.
-
You shouldn't have to take care of your kids to take care of your kids! The best thing to come out of this divorce is Jon stepping up and demanding that production be stopped! I think it's horrible that Kate and TLC agreed to let Jon be nothing more than a "guest star" or "cameo" on the new Kate Plus 8. Jon doesn't have to give his permission for his kids to be part of that show. BOTH parents need to get jobs, other than the show and appearances. Kate doesn't want to stop the cash flow (the show), when no one should have to be paid to take care of their own children!
-
Jon is a liar and cannot be trusted. he scorned Kate on National TV.. plus he is a lousy DAD!!!
-
He's a small man...and I don't just mean his stature.
Pond scum floats better than what he is trying...
His insinserity is only second to his greed.
Obvious, grab boy. -
Kate is just starting to discover that Jon is NOT ALL THAT!!! In my opinion since I was in the same situation 20 years ago. What Jon's problem is is that he finally got caught... Everyone of my friend and relatives all sided with Jon saying that Kate was a controlling mean witch but they've changed their minds after seeing the change in her since she told him she wanted a divorce. Jon realizes that Kate was the best thing that ever happened to him and what I've seen what he's been with and what he's been doing he is a poor excuse of a father and a man. Hats off to TLC for doing a name change to Kate plus eight.!!! If you watch the last several episodes you'll see he acts like its all about him. You can tell he acts like he doesn't have the love and the patience that his children need and deserve from him. I hope Kate doesn't go back with him unless they'd have intensive therapy but Jon is toooo far gone for that now. Hopefully he'll get his payback in this lifetime for all of his actions. I admire Kate for her self control and not stooping to Jon's level. And also for her speaking up and having to defend herself when he runs his mouth!!! He's just making himself look more like the jerk that he was in private to Kate for us to see and to keep it up looking like the total loser that he is.
-
I think Jon is very immature and disgusting. Your kids should be priority and whether or not your ex wife is telling the truth or not, you shouldn't be taking so much money out for yourself. Stop being selfish and horrible and grow UP!!!!!
-
Jon there is just so many words I could say to you now and usually I don't give a damn about these things. You are acting like a child and you need to grow up. You look bad and will always look bad. Forget trying to look good anymore. You're a child, and a very horrible one.
-
He is a TOOOOOTAL Loser!
-
He should've been there and never left
-
Jon is a selfish b****** and only concerned about his lavish lifestyle and twenty two year old girlfriend. The only reason he wants the show over is because his low life, jobless a** isn't going to be banking on his wife and kids anymore!
-
They BOTH need to grow up and start acting like adults !!!!
-
the question should be does Jon want KAte..I dont agree with him flaunting other women but I watched from the very begining and KAte was a very horrible person
How would she provide if there was never TLC show Jon & Kate plus 8 -
If he was such an awesome and caring father as he says he is he would never have walked out on his responsibilities like he did by proving that his brain moved to his nether regions. If you want to leave, fine, but do it privately and responsibly and at all times remembering "what will my kids think if my kids saw or heard me doing this." His only responsibility should be doing his best for his kids. A parent looses their rights to his type of selfish behavior when they decide to have kids.
-
If she takes him back the new show should be titled:"Kate + 9". Grow up & be a real parent Jon!
-
I NEVER SIGN ON TO TAKE A POLL, BUT AS I SIT HERE & WATCH JON ON UR SHOW I COULDNT HELP IT, THE ONLY REASON JOHN HELD PRODUCTION OF THE SHOW IS CAUSE HE WILL NO LONGER B A PART OF IT, & HE IS BEING SELF FISH & HAS LOST CONTROL, I AM A SINGLE MOTHER, & I SEE KATE AS THE RESPONSIBLE PARENT TAKING CARE OF THE 8 CHILDREN WHILE JON PARTIES & BLOWS ALL HIS CHILDRENS MONEY!!!
-
THis guy is a spoiled brat. He shouldn't be allowed to even see his children. Go away already.
-
I think Jon's behavior up to now, reflects the person he is--a self-centered person. I feel Kate is putting her children first and I have to say, she has been making a conscience effort to make changes in her personality-- but, as usual, the children are the ones that will pay the price of the animosity between the parents.
-
Jon has been harmful emotionally, mentally, physicall and spiritually to his family. Shame on him. Kate plus eight should continue.
-
John is vindictive, deceptive, manipulative and seems to be intent on punishing Kate. His activities have exposed him to be excessively self-focused and incredibly immature. He should be so ashamed of himself.
-
Jon is scum & I will no longer watch your program because you have him on it!
-
I do believe she should give it 1 more try and if he doesn't change and she doesn't change her nagging then it is time to divorce.
-
Jon is the KING of passive aggressive behavior! It is so obvious He didn't say much, but his body language and facial expressions towards Kate spoke volumes. I think he was emotionally abusive to Kate and unfortunately the public only saw her reacting to him. A very common dynamic. I think Kate needs to see a therapist who can help her work through her toxic marriage with Jon.
-
Kate is a piece of work...come on honey...give me a break..keep your tears to yourself!!!
-
I don't believe a thing he says! Please stop putting him on your show. I can't watch it with him on.
-
Jon is a horrible person. He'd rather buy his pot-smoking girlfriend some breast implants and gallivant all over the globe than take care of his kids! What a douchebag!
-
he's a pig
-
Jon does not even want Kate back so why does it say, "Kate should take Jon back?"
-
Jon is a loser!!!! he deserves to be deleted!!!
-
Only reunite when and if you think he's the only man that would be a good husband to you! I don't think that's likely....he's a whiner!
-
reunite with Jon??? are you crazy, I wouldn't go near him with a ten foot pole...god only knows who else he has been with...he is acting like a hyperactive teenager instead of a father of 8 children who is watching out for their well being...he is a media whore
-
Anyone who has watched the show for sometime knows he acts like a little spoiled boy. Kate has had 9 children in that house. Now he just wants to be a playboy.
-
EVERYONE SHOULD MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS, ESPECIALLY nancy grace, JON WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO MTOOK CARE OF THOSE KIDS WHEN HIS WIFE WAS GALABANTING ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS, BOOK, MOVIE DEALS. HAS EVEYONE FORGOT THAT. jON I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY, AND I KNOW YOU WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS. THE QUESTION SHOUKD BE SHOULD JON TAKE HER BACK. INDIANA LOVES JON NOT HER
-
If you dont want to be on TV anymore, then stop accepting primetime interviews. Lead by example - you dont want your kids on TV? Stay off TV yourself. I can see why Kate was such a shrew. Grow up and stop playing grabass with a bunch of younger woman and take responsibility for your children instead of moving away from them and pawning them off on Kate.
-
Kate should realize what SHE did to cause all of this! Jon has NOT been perfect, but he certainly has DOCUMENTED video evidence that Kate has been abusive and has serious issues. PLEASE JON get professional care for your children at any and all cost because it was bad enough they had to deal with OCD mom, now this may be all too much for them and their future is definately at risk. There HAS to be professional help for these poor kids and SOON! Kate will never do this for them because doing so doesn't fit into her "plans" and it might look like she's done something wrong, AND SHE HAS! Sadly, her PR firm has made her look like the victim and works really hard to make her "angelic" and her demeanor is always "in control" and "I do everything, for my kids"! Hey Kate, we ain't buying it! Stop and think and DO THE RIGHT THING FOR-THE-KIDS and stop thinking about yourself only for a change!
-
I also don't usually respond to this type of poll, but like many others felt compelled to do so here. Jon is clearly acting as if he is younger than his children. I am sorry to see any marriage fail, but if his recent behavior is indicative of how he behaved previously (and it usually is), then Kate is better off moving forward on her own. Jon is definitely not providing a positive parental figure for his children. I also think he is not being truthful in answering the questions on the show. The timing of his shutting down production came only after TLC lessened his role on the show. His body language also gives him away as answering the questions untruthfully.
-
John can say what ever he wants, he is a child his children act more mature than he does. He needs to grow up and stop hurting his family!
-
jon, give it up already, you've shown your true colors.
-
Jon is a disgusting pig!!!!!!!!! Can't stand the sight of him.
-
Jon only thinks of Jon. From what I can tell, Jon only cares about himself. He is a jerk.
-

-
Kate should stop bringing he finances and false acusations to the media. You intelligent journalists should be able to read between the lines and see that Kate has an agenda.
I am a divorced mother of two and have never ever said bad things about my childrens father, even though he did of me.
Both Kate and Jon need to stop everythin, the show, the public bickering. They are only embarassing themselves and hurting their children.
By the way you folks don't live in the real world. How many people in America have made 2.5 million dollars. Kate... stop claiming poor. How dare you!!! Most of us are struggling. YOu made 1 million on your book and you are claiming poor !!!!
Grow up.
Finally, we the public are responsible too for even taking an interest in this family and perpetuating the downfall of these poor eight children.
And the children???
They should be removed from their home until Kate and Jon can start behaving like mature selfless parents. -
Kate should loosen up on John, and John should tighten up as a parent and a HUSBAND!
-
ALL THE INTERVIEWS I HAVE SEEN SHE HAS NOT CALLED HIM NAMES NOR BAD MOIUTHED HIM. JON ON THE OTHER HAND HAS GONE ON NATIONAL TV AND SAID HE DESPISES HER!!!! SHE IS THE MONEY MAKER AND HE IS THE DIRTBAG AND NOW HE WANTS TO CONDEMN HER FOR BRINGING MONEY INTO THEIR HOUSE.
-
Kate is such a bitch. She is so high and mighty and wants everyone to feel sorry for her. It's all about Kate and no one else. She uses the kids for her fame and just dogs Jon. I have watched the show for quite awhile and she has literally drove Jon...see more
-
they should just cancell the tv show and concetrate on their issues w their marriage and for the sake of the kids before thinking about them two they should put their kids in first place rather than their issues or fame money tv show everybody deserves a second chance
-
no way. all he is interested in is himself.
What a jerk. If it wasnt for these kids no
one would know who this loser is -
Jon would be just one more kid. Except he acts like a teen. You do not need one of those at this time. Get rid of him. Get full custody and take all the money. He has already sent your money on Hailey.
-

-
Why should she take him back again?.... All he has done to her is make her life a mess and make her look bad while he was out partying with these younger chicks!
-
I thought it was the other way around. I think John is the one who should take Kate back and ONLY IF SHE STOPS! Being so damn bossy!!!
-
He gets dumber by the day!!!!!
-
Jon is a lying sack of ...see more
-
Jon is sickening......what a joke? All he does is party!!! Great role model for his kids.......grow up Jon!
-
She already has 8 kids and does not need a 9th!!!!
-
She doesn't need a jerk ike him! He only cares about himnself!!
-
Why should she? I don't think Jon has grown up yet and Kate should move on and find someone for herself. Notice she is waiting until the divorce is final. This is a clue for Jon. Susan
-
No, Kate and Jon in my opinion should not get back together just for the kids it's not fair to themselves and not fair to the kids. If anything they need to work their problems out and just move on and be miture about all this and Kate needs to grow up and stop everything it's not healthy for her kids. As much as America loves the show, myself included, she needs to ask and think what the kids would want and i agree with Jon, the T.V. show is not healthy for thier kids and hey she's a nurse she can get a job.
-
I think TV has portrayed what has kept us watching...I believe they truly loved one another. With proper marital counseling they can remember what brought them together, they should read Love & Respect. They need to get back to their christian beliefs and love one another and act in obedience to the GOD they once served. I am proud of Kate (no she is not perfect)she has provided for her family while Jon lost his indentity...GET a JOB Jon.
-
JON GO HOME, PLEASE, WE ARE TRIED OF SEEING YOU AND YOUR ANGER, YOUR SICK
-
kate is a bitch ass hoe just like nancy grace
-
None of you have even met either of them and niether have I but why should America judge we don't know them just let the pieces fall where they may and crap happens and NONE OF US ARE PERFECT so don't judge jon for things he did in the past because we are now in the present and things in the past ARE IN THE PAST so let it be and move on! Also, Jon could easily judge you as you are judging him think about that!!!
-
JON YOUR JUST TRYING TO GET YOUR OWN TV SHOW
YOU SUCK, YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR CONTACTS IN NEW YORK, WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHLDREN IN PA, WHY AREN'T YOU THERE? -
KATE SUPPORTERS ARE EITHER 1. FEMINISTS 2. LESB*ANS OR 3. B*TCHES
-
Come on Insider. Jon goes to the Ivy!!! You know that place, it is only for posers and for people to see and be seen. Jon is an IDIOT. He has shown bad judgment for a long time now and is putting himself above everyone....now even his kids. He should find a job and be a respectable Dad and stay out of the lime light for a minute.
-
Jon is so very immature, selfish and lazy. He thinks he's a movie star and trying to get all the publicity he can get. I think he is jealous that Jon and Kate can go on without him. He is putting his family in financial jeopardy out of spite, not because he's trying to be a good dad. If he was a good parent, he would be living as close as he could to his children. Grow up Jon, you made your bed, now sleep in it.
-
No, Jon thinks only of himself and the money he can make off their children. Lets not forget about his 20 something girlfriend, his soulmate..Really!!
-
Jon is a male whore. Kate and the kids deserve a lot better.
-
Yes, they should get back together, and act like they love each other for the sake of the kids. She should learn how to treat her man with respect. After he has shown to be a wonderful and involved father, she should show him some appreciation and realize what she did on every episode to drive him out the door.
-
i think that everyone is being too hard on john....i mean yeah he's made some wrong decisions but who hasnt.....kate is evil and a big fake...she wants everyone to feel sorry for her and puts on a show.....what part of that doesnt anyone see. Ive watched a few episodes in the past and john looked miserable..i dont blame him..look at the way she treats him........give him a break seriously.
-
in america, how many marriages end...TONS..when people arent happy together they are not happy.........would you be with someone who treated you the way kate has treated jon.........and so he has another girlfriend..since when did someone moving on become a crime......everyone is so quick to come with the excuse that "hes a man..hes a man" well he is a man....we all have a choice...who are we to judge when we live our lives making wrong choices all the time........how do you expect 2 people who arent in love to stay together...and continue not only making themselves miserable but also their children
-
Should Jon take Kate back? Absolutely NO! Kate has been about herself for years. It has never been about the kids for Kate. It has been about Kate becoming a so-called star using the "kids" as her way of becoming well known and enjoying a much nicer life than she had before.
-
The real question should be "Should Jon take Kate back?" My answer to that, Hell No. She was a bitch from the beginning. She did nothing but bitch, nag and yell at Jon in every episode. If she is supposedly broke then maybe she should consider stop getting her hair done every month or so and stop her lavish spending on junk they do not need.
-
Kate has 11 bank accts, $1 million from her book and she won't say what she did with the $470,000 she took out of their bank acct! Jon used to BEG her to play with the kids. This new, sad, nicey-nice Kate is for show.
-
Kate all the way!!
-
Jon is a douchebag. He can't have his cake and eat it too. He gave up a really great life, and he has to live with that. Sucks to be him!
-
Jon is trying to ruin Kate. He has been having a good time since they seperated, now he is losing everything and he is trying to make amends. Kate is a strong person and is and has been taking charge of Jon and the children because he allowed it to happen. When he was working he was a little more equal to her when he came home from work. She stayed home and cared for the children. Then he quit he job and lost his own self worth because they did not need the income. Sometimes when you retire/stop working you still need to working. Kate is controlling because she has to be to keep their lives on the right track. The children are good kids. They are not spoiled and little brats (for lack of another word). Jon is very laid back and it seems that his personality allows for Kate to be the ruler of the family. No one sees that she has worked hard since day one and that is why the children are they way they are. Jon needed to take charge long ago; however, he choose to be a playboy instead. He says that when he has the children that he does not have a nanny take care of them. Well he does not have the children that often. It was easier for him to let Kate take charge. When he has the kids, he may be physically there but he is constantly on the phone and doing other things. He probably has them every other weekend and once a week. He started dating right away. He did not show any feelings for Kate. He does not stay in the area when he does not have the kids. He is off jet setting to New York, California and other countries with other women and vacationing. You do not see Kate doing that. I hope he grows up. He is not worried about his family staying together, he is worried about his life being excluded from the cameras and money. They both need help. I am sure she will make sure that the children are taking care of and not being a pawn in a game of chess. He has not shown any responsibility in the childrens lives. He has been going to baseball games, concerts etc... all last week and still this week. He has been guest on The Insideder since last Friday, yesterday and supposed to be on the show again today (with his attorney). When asked if he has talked to the children, he stated that he talked to Cara the other day. He did not mention the other children. Why is he not in his hometown with his children. He said that Kate has the children right now; however, that she was in New York filming a guest spot on the Today show and that the children were home with the nanny. He tried to make her look like she abandoned the children or that they are always with the nanny. Since she constantly has the kids, there is nothing wrong with getting a sitter once in a while. She is just trying to get her side of the story out to the public. I do not understand why he does not go home and stay with them if he knows that she is away. I am sure that the children would love to see him more often and not just on his visitation time. But, he is off gallavanting. He is trying to look like a better parent by stating that on his visitation days that he does not have a nanny take care of them. Of coarse he does not get a nanny because his time with them is limited, not that often. You would think that he would be taking her to court to get more visitation time with the children. He said on the Insider last night that he is locked out of his own bedroom. Since Kate resides in the house the bedroom is hers. I would not want him in my bedroom either considering that he has been with other women. He was trying to make her look bad. He lost all rights to be in their bedroom when he broke their vows and slept with other women. Does he really expect to sleep in their marital bed. She deserves to have her own privacy and space. BOTTOM LINE, HE WANTS IT ALL ON HIS TERMS. KARMA, ,KARMA, KARMA...

No way, She can do it by herself. If she is not hurting the kids then her show should go on. Leave this creep out in the cold. Maybe he and his new girlfriends can get a reality show. Let Kate support her kids with keeping the show as long as they want her. The kids are not affected unless he keeps doing things to affect them.

I have never watched the show but I think I could understand why Kate may have come down on Jon on the show. If he is acting like one of the kids why not. Why would he quit his job as I have read here. Why do that if he did not want to live off the earnings from the show. He left and was involved with more than one girl since then. All much younger than he is. If that were Kate you would be calling her all kinds of names, as some of you are now. She has 8 kids not 9, Jon is #9 she does not need that. And it is more than obvious to anyone with half a brain that he only wanted to end the show when his name came off of it. Plus the sign we read on TV that was put outside the house to warn the filming crew to stop, had spelling errors. How is that? Seems to me he either needs to go back to work to earn some money and not take a "paycheck" from the bank account since he has not been around that much lately to even earn one. Kate needs to get an injunction against him allowing her to continue with the show. If she has to get counseling to allow the kids to be on the show then do it. Do whatever is necessary for her and the kids to continue without him. Make sure that visitation is monitored and that he does not bring along his "girlfriend"(s) or whatever. They are only with him for the publicity anyway. I am positive it isn't for his good looks cause there isn't any. I am sure even with 8 kids Kate can find herself a good man. Yay, Kate locked him out of the bedroom He left it so why not. I would not want him sleeping on my sheets either. Now days you never know. Taking care of 8 kids is a lot of work even if you have several nannies. She is entitled to time for herself. So what if she has a nanny or two or three. She is there every night. I have not heard of her out watching a ball game or clubbing. Give credit where credit is due. She is not the jerk .....He is. Kick him out of the bedroom, out of the house , off the bank account, and off the show for good. Oh yes, and why did he need his lawyer on the Insider? He is definitely a jerk. He must think we are all as dumb as he is to believe his BS. I am too old and have seen too much jto fall for any of it. Too bad Jon, you cannot fool this person.

SORRY POSTERS BUT SOME OF YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR. SOME OF THESE POSTS ARE DIFFICULT TO DECIPHER. IN OTHER WORDS HARD OT READ. MAYBE SOME OF YOU NEED TO TAKE SOME CLASSES AT THE NEAREST ADULT SCHOOL. I GUESS SOME CANNOT READ WHAT IS SAID BELOW THE COMMENT BOX ABOUT ABUSIVE LANGUAGE WELL SOME OF YOU HAVE CALLED KATE ALL KINDS OF NAMES. YOU ARE IGNORANT YOURSELVES TO CALL HER NAMES WHEN JON IS THE ONE GOING OUT WITH ALL KINDS OF WOMEN. GUESS SOME OF THE POSTERS NEED TO GROW UP ALSO....

The unconscionable exploitation of these children for the sake of "fame" and money is pathetic. Please give no more air time to this ridiculous and self-serving behavior on the part of the "adults" in this situation who call themselves parents. My heart goes out to the children involved.

He is only thinking of himself, he tried to play to the media as he is the victim but he is Judge and Jury for Kate, by saying that the show hurt his kids! Yet, he did not seem to mind getting a pay check from TLC all these years and he is still doing it, (who withdraws $23,000 as a paycheck, he is not Elton John (who can affort it). This is not an issue about his kids, it about him. He hates Kate's and wants to make her suffered, and he know that he can do this by using their kids. What inhumane way of getting his kicks at Kate! He got used to leaving off his kids (Kate plus 8). Watch how this bring's him a new reality show and then he is going to say that it's a way of supporting his kids, he just want the money that his kids can get for him. But his kids won't see a dime of the money that he will make in the future.

Although Jon's biggest complaint was the lack of privacy and too much attention, he sure is enjoying it now. Maybe he thinks he can get more women this way. Actions speak louder than words and his actions shows his lack of character and his disrepect for his children and Kate. And by the way, Kate as a mother, has the bulk of the responsibility and enduring more stress. Go away Jon.

ONCE A CHEATER...ALWAYS A CHEATER AND HAILEY WILL SOON FIND THAT OUT..JON AND HAILEY ARE BOTH A-HOLES , THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER!!!!

They have both conceded their lifestyles to a noxious, narcissistic standard of living. Yes, Kate is terse and impatient with Jon, painting her to be the type A that she is, and certainly needs to work on her communication skills. Jon meanwhile maintains his indolence in raising his children, as well is his deteriorated relationship with Kate. I can't even begin to fathom the complexities of raising eight children, and it must be even more difficult when your partners strengths don't fill in your weaknesses. However, if they would both shift their focus on the other's short comings and maybe appreciate the 8 lives they brought into the world, they would discover more of who they are and what they want, and another chance of marriage would be a possibility.

No way
