Jon And Kate Gosselin Reach Crisis Point
It's no secret things have been going poorly for Jon and Kate Gosselin lately. But now you can add the whole clan to the situation when you're speaking about the calamity that has struck the former high flying reality TV family. Jon and Kate's infighting has cost the whole family their TV show, which is having a devastating effect on not only Jon and Kate Gosselin, but also on 9 year old twins Cara and Mady, as well as 5 year old sextuplets Hannah, Leah, Alexis, Joel, Aaden, and Collin.
Thanks to Jon Gosselin, the kids are no longer able to work on the family TV show. According to Kate, that isn't sitting well with the youngsters.
"They were wailing and sobbing; they are angry," said Kate on an October 5 episode of Today.
It wasn't the only mention Kate made of the kids being unhappy. Later that same day she called into "The View" and expressed similar sentiments.
"My kids are upset," she said, concerning the cancellation of a show sponsored visit to the Statue of Liberty. "They don't understand why we can't do that."
The motives of Jon Gosselin are being called into question. According to him, he doesn't want the kids being filmed because doesn't think "it's healthy for them."
Why would Jon Gosselin suddenly not want his children involved in the TLC reality show? Kate Gosselin and TLC think it's because Jon Gosselin was to have a greatly reduced role on a new series entitled "Kate Plus 8."
"Jon has never expressed an concerns to me about our children being involved in the show," Kate Gosselin said on October 1. "In fact he was taping on Friday with the kids."
TLC was more concise in their criticism. They said Jon was acting "erratic" and "clearly oppotrunistic."
Like all divorces, it looks like the break up between Jon and Kate Gosselin is now in the nasty stages, with allegations over the money coming in at a fast pace. Both Jon and Kate will earn a lot less money than they've become accustomed to with the end of "Jon and Kate Plus 8."
"Ending filming has ended our income and paychecks and our opportunities," Kate told Today. On that day she told Today that John had also taken $230,000 out of a joint bank account, leaving her unable to pay bills. "I have a stack of bills." She also mentioned that Jon has been making "erratic purchases and randomly buying things."
Now the big question becomes what Jon and Kate will do to re-invigorate their fledgling careers. It's not as if they're famous for singing and dancing. The two have achieved notoriety for the large size of the multiple-birth family. This isn't exactly a career skill that translates easily into big money in other venues. One thing hasn't changed for Jon and Kate Gosselin. They are still making the cover of many national publications.
Kate thinks Jon is going too far in trying to keep his name in print.
