Jon cleaned out joint account

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

NEW YORK — Kate Gosselin says her estranged husband has withdrawn $230,000 from their joint bank account, leaving just $1,000 behind, and she can't pay her bills.

The reality TV personality appeared Monday on NBC's "Today" show and said she and her husband, Jon, did the show "Jon & Kate Plus Eight" as a way to pay the bills after their sextuplets were born. They already had twins.

She responded to her husband's allegations last week that their children wanted to stop filming for the show, which takes place mostly in their Pennsylvania home.

She said: "The things you hear him say on TV I have never heard from him. They don't even sound like his words."

Gosselin says she doesn't know what their children said to their father, but when she told them over the weekend that filming would stop, there was "wailing and sobbing."

I'd hate for this to happen but it happens all the? time I'm sure...is this why there shouldn't be joint accounts?

1. does anyone give a fuck about these idiots?

[Missy Vixen]

2. I've never seen this program before

but I have read a lot about it. <G>

I keep reading that she's such a bitch, she's nasty to him, etcetera. Maybe this is one of the reasons why. Only someone terminally irresponsible would leave his eight children existing on $1,000.

I feel sorry for the kids, but how nice to leave them and their mother with little resources so he can go partying with women half his age.

:eyes:

3. I wish someone would clean them out of the news

[jgraz]

4. Wow, this is just so ... oh wait, I don't care.

[mzmolly]

5. I try very hard not to pay attention to these people, but I have come to the conclusion

that "Jon" is a jerk.

[JI7]

7. yup

don't care for any of them. but he does seem vindictive in everything he is doing.

[mzmolly]

9. Very self centered it seems?

His children don't appear to matter too much to him at this point. :(

[JI7]

17. he has said some really nasty things about Kate in public

even if he had good reason for feeling that way, you would think just concern for the kids would keep him from saying those things about their mother in public.

i found her to be more positive in saying things about him as a father and holding back on anything too negative.

the more i see of Jon the more i can't stand him.

[Sheltiemama]

34. And you know the twins hear things from their friends.

The little kids are somewhat protected from it, but you know the twins' classmates have talked about this. And they can't go into a store without seeing their parents on the covers of magazines.

I don't care what Kate was like to live with. You don't parade around with your new girlfriend while you're still married to the mother of your children.

Jon just hurt his case for custody big-time.

[JeanGrey]

41. He's gotten a taste of the "celebrity" life from his grilfriends and

new hollywood buddies, he has no intention of giving up what he sees as the gravy train. It was hysterical to see him go overnight from "I despise Kate" to "let's stop the divorce and communicate"

[Hannah Bell]

38. kate is too.

[Forkboy]

6. I'm proud to say that I honestly have no idea who these people are.

And people say watching nothing but hockey is a bad thing. Pfffft. :)

11. Sorry, but who give a fuck?

I'm tired of people famous just for being famous.

[flvegan]

12. I'm sad that all those kids have two such stupid, selfish, self-absorbed "parents"

Even though I'm sure that the public is still being played by them and their network.

14. We need health care reform.

Ugh. Jon and Kate Who? Sick of them.

[itsrobert]

15. Good for him

He did all the work. Sperm donor is hard work.

[LibDemAlways]

19. According to Jon, it isn't true. For anyone the least bit interested in the

Gosselin family ongoing soap opera I recommend

http://gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/

Most posters there are appalled by both parents' behavior - plenty of blame to go around, though he gets the most negative press.

I just wish for the sake of those kids that Jon and Kate would quit airing their dirty laundry on tv, get some counseling for themselves and the kids, get real jobs, and just fade into well-deserved obscurity.

[TorchTheWitch]

26. the soap opera is generating them a hell of a lot more money

They are both loving being shitty people for public consumption... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ CHA-CHING!!!

[LibDemAlways]

28. Isn't that the truth. It's laughable that she's claiming

she's down to a thousand dollars. According to him they have something like 11 bank accounts totaling a couple of million.

The whole thing is incredibly unseemly, and this tit-for-tat crap is getting old.

[TorchTheWitch]

32. but to generate even more money

the tit for tat crap has to escalate... which is why they've been escalating the tit for tat crap.

[maglatinavi]

35. how?

... how do they make more $$$?:shrug: Who cares anyway...?:shrug:

[SoCalDem]

36. real jobs? surely you jest..

:rofl:

Who would watch KMart Kate & the 8 Daycare Darlings
what a concept though....


watch as Kate desperately tries to keep it all together as her 15 passenger van is repo-ed during the night, and she wakes up late, only to see a big empty in the driveway.. watch with delight as she drags all 8 kids with her on the bus, and then walks them 6 blocks to daycare, only to be told that she's 3 weeks behind in fees..

When she finally makes it to Kmart, she finds out she's been laid off..

[LibDemAlways]

45. Actually, she's a nurse and could probably make a pretty

decent living if she laid low for awhile and then resumed her own career. But she won't. Not as long as she thinks she can make money on reality tv.

He'd have the bigger problem. A non-college educated IT guy who gladly quit his job when tv cameras beckoned, he has few, if any, prospects, other than to keep his face in front of the public on crap like Divorced Dad's Club wth the likes of Lindsay Lohan's father.

A sad situation for those kids who have no say at all.

[JeanGrey]

42. He simply says in that document that he never took what was

coming to him so he got it now. It doesn't say he didn't do it. Round the mulberry bush.

[BlueIris]

43. Most posters at GWoP are *psychotic.* As a long-time follower of their site, I can tell you

that most of them not only cannot view the actions of the female spouse objectively, they have no connection to reality at all. They are delusional. And their comments about the Gosselin family are just totally messed up. Some of the remarks suggest a stalker-like obsession with the Gosselins. Scary, scary place.

[LibDemAlways]

46. Didn't the site get launched when Television W/o Pity

shut down the Gosselin threads? I agree that some of the posters seem to have a lot of time on their hands, but the general feeling over there is that those kids have been terribly exploited and the show should have been shut down long ago. There is a lot of hostility toward Kate, but Jon gets his share as well. I just hate how neither of them seem to have any real regard for the well-being of their children - the real victims in this mess.

21. Neither one of them would have a dime if they didn't exploit their kids for it. n/t

[Quasimodem]

22. About thirty years ago

I realized that the word “celebrity” had nothing to do with the word “cerebral” and therefor I could expect to learn nada from following a celebrity’s petty travails.

Therefor, my disposition concerning these over scrutinized troglodytes can best be described as phlegmatic.

24. WHAT?

Well, at least we know what he spent it on.

[Mojambo]

25. Nothing I love more than a PR war between two used up, old, reality "stars"

God Bless America!

[Hawkeye-X]

27. Took me all of one episode and I discarded them as greedy mofos.

Think Octomom with $$ and a husband.

They used their kids to get the dough.

TLC has lost me a long ago - they need to stop filming crappy reality shows. If they wanted to do that, do it with the network shows.

I'd rather watch "Whale Wars" or "Super Surgery Uncensored" that used to be on TLC.

Wife used to force me to DVR their crap - I've already removed it from the playlist. She owns 3 of their DVD's, and is NOT planning to buy the 4th.

29. I watched that show a few times and noticed that Jon was extremely passive-aggressive. His

actions lately don't surprise me at all. He was mad that TLC took his name off the show and wanted revenge, so he stopped them from filming and took the money out of that account. He's very vindictive.

[BlueIris]

44. He has the mentality of a petulant twelve year old.

But that's still no excuse for the irrational bashing of either Gosselin taking place online. Or right here in this thread.

[FrenchieCat]

30. Heard she gets $225,000 per episode....so....

Seems like she'll have to survive till next week. That gonna be like hell, I'm sure!! :eyes:

So can she do it, or will the kids eat $1,000 worth of groceries in one week?
Think TLC won't grant her an advance? Think again.

[Liquorice]

31. Jon said the family was paid $22,000 per episode. But he is demanding that filming stops. nt

[FrenchieCat]

33. Looks like I added an extra zero than....but still, how much for one year?

:shrug:

[Raine]

37. Both Jon & Kate are disgusting & should never

have had children, they're nothing but selfish, self-centered, greedy assholes. x(

[B Calm]

39. Knowing Kate, it's probably a fucking lie!

[zbdent]

40. I remember watching a few episodes and I got the impression that

they implied that they were "good Christian" people and were hinting at all the right Right "principles" ...

So, it came as no surprise that they got divorced ...
