  • I think the show should be plugged. This is the best decision that Jon could make. It is about money and that's it.

  • I believe the problems the family is having should be dealt with in private. When you are in the spot light you can not think clearly and may make some decisions for all the wrong reasons. It's time for this family to have some privacy and work on whatever solution is best for them...in PRIVATE. Maybe if there life was a little less dramatized they wouldn't be where they are today.

  • Jon is such a sore loser. He couldn't handle being fired, so he decided that he would take revenge against TLC and Kate.
    He is... something else. This isn't for the kids. This is for him. Only a week ago he was filming and happy. He is SICK! he is such a sour grape. he just could not handle being fired off the show. I guess we'll have to see what plays out.

    • I would agree, jon is loser and wants REVENGE but his relationship with that unmature/wild girlfriend of his, won't last forver. Jon should find someone his own AGE!

  • I think Jon needs to look at the whole situation. He says that a video camera following the children around isn't in their best interest. Maybe not, however does he think that running around all of these celeb hot spots with different women and bringing them to the house is good for the children? I feel that his behavior is worse for the children than a production crew and video cameras. If anyone has concern for the children it is Kate. I agreed with her when she was upset about the random babysitter watching the kids. She is their mom and was willing to watch them so that once again Jon could go live his life. If he is suppose to be with the children at a certain time then he needs to be with them, NOT out running the streets. GROW UP.

  • Kate should move on with her children. I think Jon is just trying to get in the spotlight to have personal gain.

  • This is definetly about Jon trying to get back at Kate. He didn't have any problems filming last Friday with the kids. But as soon as TLC put a halt on his filming, he pulls this. Get real everyone can see what you are doing. Don't they have a signed contract that he and Kate signed that has to be honored, unless TLC pulls the plug.

  • The show use to be about two loving parents raising their eight children, now greed has taken over the two loving parents. I no longer will be watching this show. anonymous
    anonymous anonymous 10/1/09 Reply
     
  • I think the most important priority right now is the kids, and what they need right now is stability, that means the show being taken off the air and Jon and Kate trying to mend their marriage and bring their family back together, completely out of the public eye.
    anonymous anonymous 10/1/09 Reply
     
  • If he cared about the kids at all, he would not be carrying on as he has been. Whether he likes it or not, any time he says anything negative about Kate, he's saying it about his children as well - they are half Kate.
    anonymous anonymous 10/1/09 Reply
     
  • I think the show going off will be better for the kids but I don't think that is the true motive why Jon is doing it. My feeling is that he is doing it to get back at TLC because they removed his name from the show title and will not have him appearing as much on the show (less money for him). The money factor is also why he is putting the divorce on hold in my opnion. If they were never on TV I don't think things would be as bad as they are now but from all the hate Jon has from this situation, there is no going back, there marriage will not survive. I hope things could change for them and their kids but I don't have too much faith that it will.

  • Who cares about the reason !! Good for Jon for standing up for his kids..I stopped watching the show because, this is no longer a happy family and I feel sorry for the kids..
    anonymous anonymous 10/1/09 Reply
     
  • If Jon had the main custody of the children, day after day, hour after hour, he would not have a girlfriend and would probably get in alot more trouble than he is now. Displaying acts he is is rotten of him and he should just disappear. Does he want to be the sole provider of his children? Well, let's just see if his girlfriend would like all the noise and responsibility. I think the should should stay on with Kate.
    anonymous anonymous 10/1/09 Reply
     
  • Jon is a spoiled child...when he does not get what he wants he starts getting desperate and tries any thing he can think of to do. Kate has realized, I think, that she is better off without him due to this inconsistency and childishness.

  • Jon is only to prove that he is "TOP DOG" in any way he can.....He Wants to PUT IT TO Kate and make sure that "she suffers as much as she made me suffer during our marriage".
    anonymous anonymous 10/1/09 Reply
     
    • He made himself suffer. He got what he deserved in the marriage because he acted like this in their marriage. You think his behavior as of late is any different than it has always been? In fact it's worse because he is doing what he wants and we get to see his "true" self. What a dirt bag.

    • He never really has, has he? He always had an attitude that life screwed him over with what life doled out to him with all those kids. It was always obvious to me he was never happy. A real man would have gotten over that childish crap and owned up to it. Accepting the situation and making the best of it. (Grow the "f" up).

  • I think Jon should step aside and let his family continue on the road that has been choosen for them, he didn't want the family life anymore..he has no job, can he afford to support the children with no job I don't think so..let Kate alone and let her do what she feels is best for the kids..Jon gave that up when he left the family life..

At least Kate takes the kids to places, when the pap gets u, ur riding the 4wheeler and kids no where in site and u never take them anywhere. jon, if u don't stop trying to stop the show then u and ur kids will be starving. I'm sure they will thank you, quit saying its all for the kids bc we see it's not, it's all about u. I hope the insider rips u apart...gooooo away.

  • While many people think the show should be stopped...I ask, how will these eight children be supported? Has anyone figured out the budget to raise eight children? I see many people on a daily basis divorcing and doing stupid things that will ultimately affect their kids just as Jon is doing. I support Kate for having the level head.

    • That's not true. Do you expect Kate to go back to nursing and take care of the kids? She would, though. She's smart enough to take advantage of a situation with the show and give these kids a future. Otherwise they would have a house full of church volunteers and be on constant welfare. Jon isn't going to add anything financially. He's only milking what they have all earned and before long he will have put them back where they started.

  • I stopped watching the show because I couln't understand how Kate put Jon down all the time and he was a good father and husband. Do you blame him for leaving. She mistreated him and did not respect him as a person. The show needs to stop, it is all about Kate and money now.
    anonymous anonymous 10/1/09 Reply
     
    • I completely understand why she did what she did because I wanted to strangle him every time he was on the show. He drove ME nuts because he was so immature. He was lazy and unattentive and it was obvious why she was frustrated.
      anonymous anonymous 10/3/09
       
  • Kate miss treated him and disrespected Jon many times on live television. I would have left her. Maybe he did it the wrong way, but he did want the show to end because it was effecting their family life. They both should focus on the kids and get out of the spot light. The show is not about the kids anymore, it is about Kate mistreating her kids and money. We would have been arrested for hitting our children in public like that.
    anonymous anonymous 10/1/09 Reply
     
    • Oh, come on! He was always making snarky little comments to her and even more behind her back. Have you forgotten the time he told her in front of all the kids to pull the stick out of her a**? Or how she kept saying that nothing would make her happier than if he would, on occasion, start to spontaneously ask her what he could to do to help her? He even included a promise to do that in his vows in the renewal ceremony (he must have had his fingers crossed). I've seen couples struggle with the stress of having two children at the ages that the Gosselin children are, especially at the toddler stage (one two year old can be exhausting; try 6 simultaeously). Try cutting the mother some slack as well instead of limiting your sympathy for the father.

      Even he's acknowledged that he is passive (he forgot to add -aggressive) and didn't communicate.

  • Jon is a JERK!! Kudos to Kate. She definitely has the interest of her children at heart. All Jon wants is to play around and be a kid. He needs to grow up and be a man for a change. It is no wonder Kate talked to him the way she did. I always defended her and said that you don't know why she is talking to him like that and probably has good reason. After all, you never know someone until you live with them.

  • If protecting the kids was his #1 priority then why did he go on national t.v. and state that "he dispised" Kate(mother of "the kids").Why did he also parade in public with other women while still married-was that for the kids?

  • The guy is a jerk. He's only concerned about his kids when it impacts his wallet...no more, no less. The only reason he's trying to stall the divorce is because he's afraid Kate will make a TV deal and he won't be able to cash in on it. This guy is a pig.

I believe he was being honest. Kate does nothing but avoid making a comment about anything. It takes two to break up a marriage and Jon is not completely at fault here.

  • The timing of his announcement is in no way coincidental. He needs to be concerned about how his behavior is going to look to his children when they read about him in the future. Kate has always been the mature adult in this relationship which jon continues to prove by his mouth and actions.

  • He is such a tool. I can't believe he doesn't see the coverage of his shenannigans since their separation and realize how bad he looks. No matter how Kate spoke to him on the show, I am guessing his "tool-like" persona isn't something new, she probably had good reason to speak to him with contempt even before their breakup. All of a sudden after now many years he decides that stopping filming is in the best interest of his kids? How about him not acting like a complete dog...I bet that would be in the best interest of his kids too. When the kids are old enough to really understand, they will view his post-separation actions in as poor a light as we all do. Dad is a scummy dog.

  • I am a Kate fan, she may have been a bitchy wife but she has always been that way and if Jon would of stood up to her like a man it wouldn't of gone that far. Jon cooked his goose, he quit his job to stay home with the kids so he could of collected alimony from Kate. Now he can't support his children and can't get alimony either. Talk about cut off your nose to spit your face.

  • Totally about Jon trying to get back at Kate. Let me find my violin for Jon so he can cry me a river or do we need to call the wa-wa-wambulance. Is he hiring "babysitters" for a sleep over. Doesn't he realize how confused his children are? And, on top of that--is he bringing home "girlfriends" for sleep overs?

  • Jon is getting the brunt of the bad publicity. He has endured years of emotional abuse by Kate and has finally had enough! Kate woke up to the fact that the public has seen her for what she is - self-centered and emotionally abusive! She is now trying to amend that persona in the public eye and guess what Kate - IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK!

  • Jon is doing this simply to get Kate back. He knows she stated on "The View" that she would keep working because she had ro feed, cloth, and keep a roof over the kid's heads. He wants Kate to be dependent on him so he can get her back for the way she has emasculated him on TV. He' s vindictive and angry mainly because America has not turned their backs on Kate as they have him. Since he wants her show canceled then he needs to dig DEEP and pay enough child support to keep the kids living in the manner they have been since birth. Jon is a desperate man grabbing at anything he can in order to "stick it" to Kate.

  • I guess americans divorce differently then the rest of the world. It has only been 6 months and u people are condeming Jon. Have u watched the show from the conception because if u did u know that Kate has done to Jon what alot of Men do to women (emotional abuse.) Just because Kate is sneaker and an eloquent speaker u condemn the man. If the tables were turned we would not be having this discussion.

  • Jon is doing what Jon has always done since the split...Care about himself only! He knows the kids love being on the show. He also knows the "public" wants to see Kate and the kids not him...he's scared!! I mean look in the Sneek Peak he speaks volumes "he says its MY turn..." Well in every interview its always about him "I need, I want, I am happy," etc. He is a CHILDISH, IMMATURE, SELF-CENTERED baby! He cares about himself. He sees what we see Kate is better, relaxed at peace and a terrific fun mom! She's showing the kids an outdoor theater, he's unsafely walking them thru cowpatties, carrying fishing poles while the kids are crying...But hey HE wanted to take them fishing! Anyways he sees we want Kate + 8 (minus crybaby Jon)..Hes is not for the kids, or getting back at Kate...HE IS FOR JON!!

  • Jon is mad because the show will not feature him, his mistress, or his clothing deals. GROW UP JON!!! You had a mouth from the beginning. Live with your decisions you have and continue to make. There is no turning back once you have a child or in your case 8 children. You are setting a horrible example for your sons. You are showing them that they can do this to their children!!! SHAME ON YOU!

  • Yesterday it was announced that the show will feature Kate and she probably got the big contract leaving him out financially. It's pretty suspicious that he was filming a week ago no problems and suddenly after the contract announcement yesterday, he comes up with this. He is a sore loser in so many ways. Plus, it really annoys me that there are misspellings on the sign he put on the gate - someone tell him how to spell the word "penalty!" He's so obviously desperate not to lose the gravy train from the show so he can pretend he's a playboy. Ugh!

  • I just watched the preview of tomorrow's show with Jon Gosselin..What a miserable person he has turned out to be...I wrote before that I loved them both and even if Jon sat in front of me and told me he had cheated on Kate I would have still had a hard time to believe him....BOY HAVE I CHANGED MY MIND..Cheating on Kate is nothing compared to what he is putting his children through right now. DON'T GIVE ME THAT BS ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR KIDS JON BECAUSE THIS IS TRAUMATIZING THEM WORSE.....There is a much more civilizated way of doing this if you were only thinking about the kids and not about getting back at Kate. Don't you think Jon that the children see or hear about everything that you do? GROW UP AND ACT LIKE A MAN AND THE FATHER OF YOUR CHILDREN AND STOP ACTING LIKE A SPOILED BRAT.

It seems everything he does now is for media attention and to keep the money coming in for himself! He could care less if he hurts Kate, thus hurting the kids too. He pretty much said this with his interview about how he hated her. Furthermore... on his visitation, he gets a babysitter?! What's with that??

I am looking forward to seeing how on earth he is going to pay his child support once TLC cancels the show and the residuals. They are big enough to keep him tied up in court until he's in the poorhouse. Maybe Brad and Angelina want to adopt 8 more kids? Lord knows the kids would be better off with them...see more

If he was THAT concerned, he should have stepped up to the plate and been the husband/father he should have been instead of looking through "rose colored glasses". I'm not sure either party has the best interests of the kids at heart. Let the show go so the kids can heal from the publicity surrounding their parents.

I recall in at least one of the episodes hearing Jon state that he does not think the filming of his children is a good thing for them and would like to see it stop. Apparently, Jon has had this point of view for quite some time. I do not think that this has anything to do with his feelings toward Kate, but isbased on his concern for the children.

  • The average parent doesn't get to spend as much time with their family as the Gosselin's do because of their jobs. The amount of time they are actually being taped is not that much and they make $75,000 an episode! These kids do not look miserable on the show--they get to see and do things most kids will never get to experience. I hope Jon has another plan on how to support 8 children if he takes away their income.

  • I think it's time to end this wreck. These poor kids. They have been working since they were babies and they have no trust funds set up for them. These two parents have used them to establish an extravagent lifestyle. If Kate lost her meal ticket, she has plenty of money to get by with. She may have to ratchet down her lifestyle a bit but she and the children would be fine. I think she's addicted to the spotlight at this point and not thinking about the best interest of her children.

  • John wasn't so concerned about the well being of his children when the hours of filming were funding his flings and trips with his numerous girlfriends here, there, and everywhere. Nor was he concerned when the show was affording him a million dollar home that his thirty thousand dollar a year salary could never afford to buy. He has taken advantage of those kids and this opportunity moreso than anyone else. If he doesn't want to be part of the show anymore, fine! But Kate and the kids should be able to continue the show as it affords them opportunities and a quality of life they can not afford otherwise and that Jon is not able to provide them with either. Since he is not ready willing or able to live up to his manly responsibilities of providing for the family he has created he should not be allowed to interfere in them providing for themselves by carrying on with the show which seems to make all of them very happy. Kate and TLC should join forces and seek proper legal representation since together I am sure they can fight longer and harder than Jon. He should just go away since he has caused for disruption and damage for the kids than anyone or anything else anyway.

I had always been a fan of Jon until the divorce announcement now all I see him as is a man trying to live his 20's in his 30's. What 32 year old man with 8 kids relocates to New York (The city that never sleeps), spends mega bucks on parties in Las Vegas, and goes clubbing, nightly. Not any men I know.

Everything he has done in the last 6 months, has been for Jon, and he certainly didn't stop to think about what his actions would do to the kids. Just because TLC recognized that Jon is a liability to the show, and decided to change it to Kate Plus Eight, which would probably reduce his income considerably, he has decided that filming of the children is all of a sudden bad for the kids. You know when they first announced their split, I think Jon had some well deserved sympathy, but he has long since lost all sympathy from the public. We know he does not have the best interest of the kids at heart anymore. He has gone from a whimp, to a sleaze bag.

    Jon’s motive is greed. He is whining because TLC took him out of the show. Jon’s attorneys fees have to come from somewhere now that his behavior decreased his income, just wait a few weeks, the next move is for the attorney’s to blame the family breakup on the network, then announce they are going to sue the network for producing a show that broke up his family.

  • I think That Jon has showed what he is really made of. You never really see him with his kids and when you do he is saying mean things about there mother. I think they both need to get back to there church and find God again. Kate maybe Bossy But Jon was the man of the house he could have alid down some rules. The only back bone he has is the one he thinks with when he cheats on his wife. No matter what he needed to Respect the mother of his children and not say and do the things he does. Find God Jon and maybe you will be fulfilled then.

There is always one bitter x-spouse, who just won't quite... then in another 5yrs. still in court, where will everyone be??? It is worth it?? They both made the decisions to do this when she got pregnant.

  • Shutting down production will cost TLC a bundle. I think he hopes they will buy him off so he can go away with a pocket full of cash. I think he is also hoping that Kate will buy him out of the house so she can control who comes and goes. I think the side effect is that it is probably making Kate the control freak just nuts which he probably enjoys. I think it's about lining him pockets and doesn't have anything to do with the kids.

  • Let's remember that Jon is still the dad, he has every right to pull the plug on Kate. It was never the Jon Kate show...Just the Kate. Maybe she started off doing all this for the kids. But do they not now have more than your average child does. They must of saved enough of what they got to get them all into a good college. More than us normal 1 child birth can do. They have all the good that life can give. Stop the show and let the kids move on. Come back in 10 years and see what kind of teenagers they turned out to be. It would be nice to know if they turned out to be productive adults. Sad if they all just want to be in the movies.

  • Ok first I have to address the male on your panel tonight(not sure what his name is). He stated that Jon and Kate's behavior was being influenced by the kids. Are you kidding me? Think before you speak. Children are influenced by their parents. Not the other way around. Those 2 oldest girls act just like their mother. There rude, bratty, bossy little girls who think the world should be handed to them on a platter. This is behavior they have learned. I can't stand to watch them.
    Second, I hope Jon is doing this for the kids. Kate is TV hungry. She wants the fame and will stop at nothing to get it. Jon to has had his moments in the past year. But hopefully he is truly seeing the light now and will cancel the show no matter what it takes. Jon's behavior this last year has been less desirable but in his defense I think he found some new found freedom and abused it. I hope he has realized that and is willing to change for the better of the kids. If you look back at older episodes of the show, he was the one raising the kids. Doing their craft projects, taking them to school, going on hikes, getting them dressed and just about everything else. You really never saw Kate doing much but yelling at him or the kids. She needs a wake up call. Unfortunately I don;t think she will ever realize that. I think she needs medication or something to help her cope. I hope they stop all this fighting in public and do what is best for those kids before it is to late. Come on guys get it together for the sake of the kids. After all you are the ones who put them there.

    • Actually the only rude child is Maddy, and she is not like Kate. She acts like Jone to a "T". SHe wants to be the center of attention constantly and that's why the other kids get aggravated with her. SHe is selfish, and she is just like Jon.

      If you watched the show and knew what you were talking about you would know their names.

      You have no idea what you are talking about. You obviously don't watch the show and are influenced by the media. Please don't leave remarks on websites when you have no clue. What you said isounds exactly like what someone who doesn't watch it would say. I think you are one of Jon's girlfriends leaving this message.

Eight kids..... that's a lot of responsibilities....
    Jon and Kate should start realizing this fact. The show is about their kids.....98% of it is all about their kids....The is what the public expect. They should both grow up.... no wonder the grandparents are staying away from all this. They know better and are now embarrased by all this.

  • No doubt there's two sides to every story, but it APPEARS by Jon's behavior following his separation, he has alot of growing up to do and is very selfish. Despite his feelings on how Kate treated him during their marriage, he has shown nothing that indicates his concern for his children since the separation. It's as though he can't separate his anger and resentment for Kate from his "supposed" concern for his children and do what's in their best interest.

    • NO, actually once Jon and this silliness is gone, the show will get better. Kate is dynamic and very pleasing to watch her transformations and observations about her life with the kids. If she can truly be herself, then the show will be much greater!

      ANd I think it is great that at least Kate is in it for the money in a smart way to provide for her family and making positive memories. Compared to Jon, who wants the money for himself to play. Heck, the reason the rating are slumping is because Jon's idea of quality time with the kids are so lame and uninteresting. The stoner is bringing the show down with his bad attitude and the kids are also boring with him around.

  • Jon doesn't do anything for the kids. It is because they are dropping him and his bad life style. If he was so concerned about his kids he wouldn't get on the morning show's and say nasty things about Kate. All he cares about is the money he will lose. If he gets the show stopped he better get a job and start paying some major child support. His children are going to loose their home. All he cares about is running around with college girls, grow up Jon!
    Kate shouldn't have to leave the kids for 2 weeks at a time. With a father who would bring women into the house. In the name of being a babysitter! They would have had these problems if they never had been on TV! I don't think it hurts the kids, it's all they have ever known. They seem to love the production people who are around. I love Kate and the kids, there has always been something about Jon. So I wasn't surprised that he does the things he does. He is just out to hurt Kate, like a lot of men do when they get divorced. Even though he is the one who wanted this! Once again grow up Jon

Your a father of 8 act like one. what kind of example do you set for your kids. The only reason these girls want him is because he is somewhat famous if he wasn't on TV he would be just the average guy. Think about your kids for onceand do the right thing. Kate is trying to support herself and your looking to rip that away from her.

  • Did anyone see the show last season when Jon said he would be willing to stop the show and wanted to find an identity outside of being "Jon of Jon and Kate Plus 8". This poor guy put up with so much verbal abuse from Kate that few men would ever put up with. Kate is in this show for the fame and fortune despite what it does to her kids. Jon has not made good choices of late but I still like him far more than I'll ever be able to tolerate Kate. By the way don't you like how without Jon suddenly Kate is playing with the children and not so obsessed with cleaning and cooking? I guess when you don't have to take the time to belittle your husband in public you can find time for your kids. TLC should have put this show on hold until they saw how the divorce was going to be handled between Jon and Kate then maybe if things had worked out in a mature manner it could have shown how a divorce can have a good resolution. Too late now, glad the show is stopped for the kids' sake.

    • No actually when you get rid of the real problems that stress you out like JON, you become a much freer and happy person.

      When Jon is not there, she doesn't have to clean up after his messes, just the kids. ANd you can tell that the kids respect her way more than Jon. So, the kids are not getting mixed messages. Kate is free and has found a level of confidence she couldn't have because Jon made her feel inadequate as much as you think she made him feel. I could tell from day one, that Jon was a dirt bag. If I was there, I would have complained about Jon too! He makes terrible decisions, from how he spends money to getting the dogs, to everything. SHe had to compromise being a good spouse with an imbecile. Now that the stupid one is gone, she can make the right choices and not settle. (The best choices w/out compromising).

      I hope the show keeps going! I love Kate plus 8.

      Kate has the brains and the heart. Maybe Kate's lawers and TLC should make a financial offer to make him go away once and for all, because it's VERY clear he is out for himself. They should also offer a reward to all the ladies who will come forward about his nasty ways and are willing to take a lie detector test to prove it so Kate can get sole custody.

He needed to be reigned in and treated like an irresponsible child because he was one. At least your other kids have more self control, manners and common sense, and respect than Jon. I hope you can cut him off so he does not ruin you financially.

  • Please get that dirt bag off your panel. I can't watch your show anymore. I seriously had to change the channel.

    How much did he want for this "Consultation". What a joke. Insider, please, this was a Herculean mistake. It really damages your credibility. Don't give this loser a platform.

    He was more than happy to film when the money was coming from TLC. If he is so adamant that this is damaging his children and family, he should have not renewed the show so many times. I love the show and everyone is tuning in to see Kate anyway. I hope she gets full custody and dumps that loser to the curb. Don't take him back Kate!!!!!!

  • It is highly suspect how Jon decided to advocate for his children only after he was fired from TLC. It would appear more sincere had Jon decided to take this stand "for the sake of his children" without going on a self-righteous media blitzkrieg.... Wonder how much Jon is being paid for his sudden attack of conscience? He should be ashamed of himself but sadly he is not.

  • Jon you look and act like a fool. Your poor children. You need to shut up and keep your private life private. Every time you open your mouth you come off like a spoiled rotten kid who wants his own way regardless of who it hurts. Your children should never have been put on tv in the first place. You and Kate saw $$$ signs.

  • He's hanging around with ex-cons like Lohan (some role model for parenting in the spotlight, huh?) and shopping aournd his own reality show about Divorced Dads. With that as a concept, does anyone seriously believe that he doesn't plan to have his children associated in any way on screen with the show (I'd love to say it wouldn't have a prayer of getting on the air, but given what's on VH-1 lately, that's not a safe assumption to make. He certainly does not appear to have made any effort to find a way to make a living that does not involve reality TV and/or his kids' names and images.

    The only proble with the poll is that there should have been an option, "It's to get back at Kate AND force TLC to let him out of his contract and allow the kids to appear on his new show."

  • Regardless of the reasoning behind it and I voted for "it's to get back at Kate" because you don't give the truth as a reason. Which is "who knows?"... the fact is that the show is over. If this goes to court, it would be so horrible for these kids and I hope Kate is smart enough not to fight this.

They are the most well behaved 5 and 9 year olds I have ever seen. Yes Kate has outburst, but not anymore than 99% of parents today. Only their kids are not running around and screaming in the local restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters,etc etc ......

Now that Jon has made some mistakes, everyone has Completely forgotton what a heinous B she was until this split-up! Now all of a sudden, she's this sympathetic figure?! The only thing that matters out of this debacle, are the precious children and that seems to be what everone is forgetting. TLC should have pulled the plug the day the seperation was announced. If they had the kids best interest at heart, that's what they would have done. Its sad to exploit kids and use a divorce as a ratings grabber. So so sad. Anything to make a buck.....

  • Jon is a loser and it's a shame that when the kids are older, they will see the history of idiotic things their father has done. While I agree that Kate has, at times, been mean to Jon over the past 5 years of the show, it is evident why she has had to be the one "in control." Jon is an uneducated, unemployed loser. He is only doing all of this to get back at Kate and he is jealous of how she is "continuing life without him quite successfully!" If the show ends, how does Jon expect to support the family AND put them all through school? His single brain cell isn't functioning very well.

  • As an adult whose parents split when I was seven, I think the whole thing is just tragic. Everyone talks about Jon and Kate, but what about the thing that REALLY matters here? The eight innocent children who are hurting right now...No one seems to think about that aspect...I honestly feel like Jon is more genuine of a person than Kate. I see NO warmth there at all. I think she's the opportunist in this situation. All the crap about
    " the kids are "fine" with the show, I check in with them". They're KIDS, what do you expect? I think it's a dirty shame that TLC didn't end the show immediately after the split. They're basically profiting off of a breakup.........How are the kids going to feel when they're older and see that episode where they announce the decision to split? SHAMEFUL......

He could care LESS about what happens to his kids, he is just being a big vindictive cry baby, because TLC did the right thing by dropping him. He is an out of control adolescent!!

    It's always been all about Kate and the way the show has been filmed lately, it still is. All you hear is HER VOICE, about HER feelings and wants. I watched because of the adorable children but each week we see and hear less and less of them and more of Queen Kate!
    I am done with the show anyway even if they don't pull the plug.

  • I am so tired of everyone beating up on Jon, at least he has the guts to stick up for his children. I feel Kate's problem is, if the show has to shut down, she might lose all her trips that she goes on to promote HER and leaves the children with the nannies. If the show goes on any further those children will be the ones to lose, just think, they will probably never be able to go out in public, let alone school without body guards, that is no live for those children.

  • Of course, Jon, NOW decides to halt production of the show and the divorce once he gets fired. First, he wants a 90 day hold on their divorce so he can "find a way to better communicate with Kate"; when everyone knows the real reason is that he knows he needs to get back on Kate's good side because there's NO WAY Jon could ever get a job, so how is he going to support his family. Second, why would anyone who is "in LOVE with their SOUL MATE", want to delay their divorce, especially from the woman he "DESPISES".

  • This is all the kids have known and they seem to be thriving – with Kate at least. Jon, if it was so important to connect with Kate and work out what is best for the kids why haven't you spoken to her in 3 weeks? If you are canceling the show for the kids' sake why did you wait until TLC pulled the plug on you? As long as you were getting the pay check it was fine. You are so transparent and I am so disappointed that the Insider hosts all sucked up to you it seems when you hosts all sucked up to you when it seems you are really just in it for you. Do you even know what the high road is?

    Plus on one show you say that the children are not getting any money for this and on another show you say that 80% of what you have earned has been put aside for the kids but you may have to “dip into it” once the show is cancelled. What is the truth and, if the money has been put aside for the kids, why should you have any of it to buy your Gucci shoes? University X 8 kids is pretty expensive you know. But then again, I guess you may have a hard time finding endorsements. I wouldn’t buy something from you.

  • So as soon as Jon heard they didn't want him on the show anymore he thru a fit! I guess he figured out, if he isn't seen on TV none of the cute little babes will want to be seen with him anymore! Do you think he finally got that he isn't good looking, but as long as he is on TV the TV whores will hang with him, take him off, he doesn't get to be famous any longer! He quit working, only takes vacations, and has to have a nanny for every 2 children when he is alone with them, thats why we only see him doing home projects and when he is done the kids can come look at it. So he has collected all the checks, had all the vacations on the TV station expense, and can continue collecting money, even when not being on the show, but now ,after he's gone, he has a sudden change of mind? i wonder if kate is going to get child support from some of his money? he hasn't worked in years, and he was the one to make that decision! How is he going to support these kids? Maybe he could collect some money off of some of the books Kate wrote! Thats what he complained about "her working to much, and leaving him alone, to take care of everything" GET A JOB LITTLE BOY! BE A MAN! Now the network doesn't want you, are u going to take your ball and go home? He doesn't live there, and she can't afford the home & bills without the show, he knows this. He's going to make his kids sufffer because of his ego. I would just tell them to come back in, get a lawyer to prove he cannot and will not help with the family and their needs. TAKES A BIG MAN TO HAVE YOUR CHILDREN THROW OUT OF THEIR HOME!

  • This decision of Jon was made out of Jon's baby mode. He wasn't thinking of the kids when he decided this, he realized what a ass he looked like telling his kids the truth on national TV. they have talked about it several times, the family has the decision THE FINAL DECISION, about what is shown on TV! I guess this jerk decided it would be best to tell them on TV and help others in the world, that goes through it. He made a bad decision, made himself look like the ass he is, watched it, THEN it hit him!OMG! I look like an awful person! Oh Yea, happy birthday! So its bad for the kids to be on the show, but its ok for them to see Daddy on the TV, got out with little girls (that wouldn;t give him the time of day if he wasn't on TV)
    And the network wanted to pull him......NOW, just after that, he figured it was bad??? AS TO KATE BOSSING HIM AROUND- it doesn't take a idiot to watch him do nothing....to help get the kids ready, to get them to dinner, to cook for all of them, to get them ready for baths, bedtime etc., he just stands there until told what to do! A grown man....doesn't need to be told- have the kids hang their coats! with all of those children, things need to be organized, I have 2, we have to keep things organized or lose them, or just live like pigs! I DARE ALL OF YOU STATING SHE IS TO STRUCTURED--GO GET 8 KIDS, TAKE CARE OF THEM FOR A WEEK, SEE HOW EASY IT IS WITHOUT WATCHING ALL OF THEM, CLEANING AFTER THEM, BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER, BATHS, BEDTIME AND BOO BOOS, FIGHTING,& WANTING ATTENTION. You will either have to have a lot of structure or beg the show Clean house to help you. Sure would be nice to run away from all that, no problems, no cares. What a good man he is.
