Kate's Kin Claim Kids Are Exploited
Filed under: The GosselinsIt's really sad when your family can't even find the will to stand behind you!
Kate Gosselin's siblings are having a field day in the media. Both her sister-in-laws have come out swinging against her and now, Jodi Kreider and her husband, and Kate's younger brother, Kevin, talked on The Early Show this morning about the show and the children.
Watch as the couple discuss wanting to be the voice of the Gosselin children, insist that the children's home shouldn't also be their "workplace", and call out America to see the show for what it is!

i don't know what it is, she seems like a massikve tool and someone i could'nt stand to be in the same room with for more that a couple of minutes, but i want to face fuck her, that is all
Gawd….just leave them alone! let them work on their family!
none of us actually know what's going on. let's keep in mind this is still reality tv.
sisterS-in-law — not sister-in-laws
wtf why so small Pork rind butt-boy?
nice job with the thumbnail for a picture moron
..
dont you get it? this is all free ads for the show, just like britney did, lots of people are doing it now
Sounds like sibling jealousy to me…
There isn't a link to click on. OOOPS!
wow, must be really sad for money to come between a family!
Kate's "family" are asshole! How dare you talk about personal private lives of your family. They should be ashamed of themselves. They aren't worried about the kids, they are worried about their 15 minutes of fame. How could they betray family like that, it makes me sick!
Hmmmmmm……Jackson 5 part deux????
Why should they stand behind the parents when their children are being exploited. i wouldn't stand by my brother if he was putting his kids to work and raising them as reality show freaks. Cameras in the bedrooms? Year round filming….to most people Perez this is just weird and wrong. You can tell this aunt and uncle are very emotional and concerned for their nieces and nephews.
Laws should be passed regarding children and reality tv.
why a thumbnail picture????
i totally agree with everything jodi and kevin are saying.
If the Gosselin kids are being exploited what about the Roloffs, The Duggars, all the reality shows TLC has created. It's funny after all these years, NOW, they want to speak up & out..give me a break.
I wouldn't stand behind my brother if he was putting his kids to work and turning their life into a television show. Cameras in bedrooms, year round filming? That is just plain weird. You can tell that they genuinely are concerned for their nieces and nephews, and why should they the kids are being exploited and used as a money making machine. you come down hard on dina lohan, Kate is worse.
There should be laws regarding reality shows and kids.
I still don't get this. How has it taken people this long to realize what a terrible person Kate Gosselin is?? It's funny that she can treat him like crap for as long as this show has been on the air but it's only when he finally has enough and cheats on her that they get exposure.
OH GOD–the redhead wants LAWS for kids on reality tv. Everytime something goes wrong–there's someone who wants a new law–to protect the 5 other people it MIGHT happen to. How about the brother and wife protecting their privacy and not going on national tv. Just turn off the cameras NOW!!!! (not that!! the money's too good)
They seriously think that they'll be able to have a relationship with Jon and Kate after they've been going around doing countless interviews. What kind of family does this? I don't care if you don't like each other, keep your trap shut for the families sake…oh and those children that they claim to be so worried about.
Someone give these people a muzzle.
Ugh, it makes me so mad when Kate complains about the paparazzi following them when SHE is the cause of it. The kids are in the public eye and she put them there.
Their whole family should be shamed any and everyone has something to say, disgusting. I never watched the show and really can't now. The show is not longer about the kids no matter how they try to portray it. It's a shame that their rating would go up just because she's a bitch and he's a cheater says alot about this country. Seems to me that is nothing new in their household.
the screen is so small ..
Haha my thumbnail video works!! I agree w/Jodi and Kevin.
Jodi and Kevin have spoken up much earlier than this, but the media wasn't listening until it involved infidelity. Their concerns are only for the children.
Do those children look unhappy to anyone? She may be a control freak, but I think John is just jealous of Kates extra success outside the show. Find me a mother who hasn't been frustrated at her husband and talked to him like that. As far as her so called family goes, shame on them, they are clearly looking for attention from the media. Why it everytime a woman is bold and feirce she's a bitch from hell.
fathers that Cheat need their nuts removed.
This family is gross. Take those kids away from Kate already.
This is yet again your average person trying to gain fame at the expense of their family. That is really sad that her sister is selling her name out like this. I am sure she is just bitter because she is not the famous one. I think that if she really cared about the kids she wouldn't be doing interviews slamming the kids' mother. Sick!
Anyone who has watched this series knows that Kevin and Jodi were very involved and very supportive in the beginning. When they began having concerns, they were essentially "kicked" off the show and out of the kids lives. Jodi and Kevin LOVE these kids and want to protect them. This is not jealousy… this is concern. I WILL NOT WATCH ANYMORE.
Hahahaha! Let me get my magnifying glass to see this tiny picture….
This is just devastating. The issue really isn't about their marriage or about their show, it's about the kids. Regardless of whether or not the outings and such were for ratings, the bottom line is that these kids need stability and need their needs to be met. If they want the cameras out, they should get out, end of story. I feel terrible for both Jon and Kate for having to go through what they are going through, but mostly for the kids, who are the most vulnerable in this situation.
GIVE THE CHILDREN TO OCTO-MOM.SOMEONE WHO'S NOT WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THE MEDIA THINKS!
Re: JigSaw – This is so funny I've got hiccups …hiccup….
1 sister in law. Jodi and her sister. And anyone with half a brain can see they are full of shit.
Perez, what's with the invisible photo????
funny how when they were on the show they had no problem with it. $$$$$$
The Gosselin kids are being exploited plain and simple. They've been taped naked in the bathtub and on the toilet, laying on the floor in the laundry room throwing up. All to line their parents pockets with money, tummy tucks, hair plugs and free trips. Jodi and Kevin are doing what is right, bringing attention to this sad situation. If Kate wants her own tv show then so be it but leave those poor kids out of it.
Kate may be a control freak…but she has 8 children, she kind of needs to be. watching the show those kids do not seem unhappy at all. They actually seem to enjoy the camera. the sister is probably just pissed that Kate is famous and she isnt.
The Family is pathetic, if they truly cared about those kids they would not express it in the media, seems as though they are looking for their 15 minutes of fame, or they are jealous
I think Kate's Brother & Sister-in-law are a couple of scumbags! Pardon my choice of words, but they should be ashamed of themselves for giving this interview. They obviously want publicity and/or just want to take Jon & Kate down out of jealousy. Obviously, this is Jon & Kate's choice. Whether it's right for the children, I am not sure, but I am tired of all these Gosselin relatives crawling out from under their rocks. It's disgusting.
Yeah my way of showing i am just looking out for the children is go onto national television and repeatedly air the familys dirty laundry. Such good people
so i didn't watch the video because it's SO EFFING SMALL and i was too annoyed. but from what everyone is saying….. they don't do year round filming. it's been said over and over. they film a set amount of days per week. and they also don't put cameras in the rooms anymore. and when they did it wasn't "weird" they never put anything questionable on air. they showed kids jumping on their beds and not sleeping during nap time. big effing deal. and for the record i whole heartedly agree with "too annoyed to care" #15. why start talking trash now? and why not target everyone else? the duggar family… THAT'S a family where you should worry about the kids. 18 kids? yeah most of them are NOT getting the attention they deserve. at least the gosselin kids have people around that love them… even if they are mostly nannies and care takers.
Please they dont care about those kids they just wanna be in the spotlight and thats disgusting to go on tv and stab your family in the back for some attention!!
well if it bothered them before why did they not speak up sooner. nooo they wait until the media is all abuzz about their lives. I think the couple is just media whores. they want attention. thats all. they are using the kids just as much as jon and kate to get what they want… their faces on tv.
these two ppl are ridiculous they are so concerned now when there is all this media coverage in them! please they just want there 15 minutes of fame at the expense of there family shame on you both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sounds like jealousy and a desperate jump into the media for 15 minutes of fame…they're no better then Jon and Kate!
ok i watched it. THEY ARE DOUCHEBAGS! (as in the sister in law and the brother).
It seems that this couple is desperate for attention.. so pathetic!! Shut the hell up! No one cares what you think !!
NICE SIS, WOULD LOVE TO BANG HER ON A REALITY SHOW. JUST SAYIN.
Re: cheerioko – Jodi, you said your peace on the today show. Now get off perezhilton.com
I don't think they are jealous, I think that they already have money from the look of their home when the kids were there. I mean they obviously aren't poor people. I really think that they are truly concerned for the kids. As they should be. Those kids are gonna be SCREWED up when they get older and the only people you can blame is Jon and Kate. There SHOULD be laws protecting kids on reality shows. I mean you have tons of kids on these shows now. The Duggers, Table for 12, etc…..it's too much. I blame TLC mostly. They need to cancel the show.
they're just famewhores too. 'we want to be the voices of our nieces and nephews' such bullshit.
Oh please this is a joke! The only reason "Aunt Jodi and Uncle Kevin" are doing all these interviews is that they got pissed off that Kate wouldn't let them get paid per show. They don't even talk to them anymore. Don't get me wrong Kate is a beast but these people have no idea what they are talking about.
PLEASEEE!!!! THESE PEOPLE CALL THEMSELVES FAMILY!!!!
Nobody is paying much attention to these reneck fame-ho wannabes, the relatives of Kate coming out of the woodwork now. They aren't doing any of the work but they want a piece of the pie. Their 15 minutes are up….next!
To all those people who say that the brother and sister-in-law are doing the wrong thing: I don't think the decision to come out publicly on television and speak against your own family is a decision taken lightly. Yes, many people feel like the brother and his wife should just shut up and mind their own business, but they obviously feel that this is in the best interest of the children. Would you be quiet if you felt like you needed to right a wrong? Give me a break! They're doing the right thing. It's better to… if that's the case… be alienated from the people you're speaking out against than sit on the sidelines and wish you had said something. Why don't people see that?
How are they being exploited? It's not like they are making the kids act all the time. They probably don't even notice the cameras anymore. Children in the world have WAY worse problems than seeing a camera a lot.
Seriously, if they'd had the cameras there since they were 2.. the camera men must be like aunts and uncles.
Why would they go on public tv to say this? Not go and pass legislation. Media Whores.
OMG! That Jodi is such a bitch. She should also look up the world exploit in the dictionary. Famewhore. The cameras have been her house MANY times, why is this just now a problem?
LOL..since when do paparazzi's video cameras flash like cameras, in broad daylight??? Hello??? Fake anyone???
I like the idea of Jon plus 8 - Kate
Dude, if you actually listen to Jodi, she doesn't sound like some fame whore family member trying to make money off the drama. She brings up valid points about the kids and how it's not right. I love the show, but this is starting to make me rethink if I should watch it.
looks like Fame Whoring runs in the family!!!
honestly, this brought tears to my eyes to be back-stabbed on public television. i didnt even watch the clip. are they saying kate beats the kids or starves them? ties them up in a closet till dinner and takes them out for camera time?
no, they are saying kate is a control freak that wants money.
im over hating kate. im over feeling sorry for jon.
jon married kate, together, no matter how, they created a family. that family was extraordinary and they did a special.
after the special they were asked to do a show. so what? wow, film me and my family. gimme, gimme gimme. we need carpet, college and vacas here too. so big deal. and believe me we can all be bitches. why, just look at the clip here. they are talking about their sister/s.i.l.s family! you dont get much lower than that. i wonder how much they got paid to act like God today? glass houses folks.
Wow So Much For Being Family?
Those Kids Are Probably More Sane Than Most Kids.
And Who Cares If A Production Company Set Things Up For them.
The Kids Enjoyed It.
Its Still about the Kids.
Re: Haagen-Dazs – #31 While your at it you can use that magnifying glass to see if there's any trace of ur little peen!!
I think the whole damn family are fame whores. Sad.
Are you freakin kidding me?!?!?
What a bunch of bullshit!
What kind of family goes on national tv(gets paid) and trashes their family??
They should be telling this to Jon & Kate, not making matters worse by spewing this garbage on tv and tabloids.
Disgusting excuses for human beings, do they think adding fuel to the fair is helping their nieces and nephew they say they care so much about?? How about the fact that they are pissed that they aren't on the show anymore, and I'm sure it wasn't themselves that decided that…I'm sure if they were still a part of it and getting paid they would have no issues. So now to get money they are being paid to pedal trash about the people they claim to love!!!
Why does everyone pick on them? How about the new show, Table For 12? They are doing the EXACT same thing. One could say they are exploiting their kids too, and one is even handicapped.
Oh and how about that Duggar family….That woman is in love with being pregnant. The list can go on.
Leave Jon & Kate alone, let them work out their issues. Its CLEAR they love their children and their children love them.
We see what it is, its a REALITY show! Those kids would not be living in the house they're in or living a financially secure life if it wasn't for the show. Obviously 9.8 million viewers disagree with you. Leave Kate alone. Jon and Kate made the decision to do the show, its their family and their decision. Everyone else should stay out of it. Fame wanna be whore's!
Jodi and Kevin both need to eat a bowl of shut-the-fuck-up-soup. What a couple of trailer trash losers to go on TV and rag on their family.
i can't believe it. it's her brother! this is soo silly, the brother talking about the birthday parties are set up by the production company. to me it sounds like he is jealous. i feel bad for kate and kids too bad
I believe that Jodi is a no good piece of garbage and needs to shut her mouth. They admit that they are estranged and they are trying to get a piece of jon and kates fame. SUCH A FAME WHORE!
its all a media scam! its all to get tv ratings and its working. i enjoyed the show before all this, now that this has happened and ratings have gone up… i havent watched the show once. theyve changed just like everyother person once they become rich
15 minutes!!!
Funny, these two weren't complaining when they were featured on the show. Talk about low. Guess it's true, that money talks. If they actually cared about the kids, which are technically their nieces/nephews, than they wouldn't be going on national tv, or interviewing with magazines trashing the kids parents. Those kids look pretty damn happy to me and they've got to experience a lot more than most adults have, so if you have a serious issue, take it up with Jon & Kate privately. What creeps. Nice family.
What these kids will realize when they get older is that they would have not been able to do any of the wonderful things they have been able to do if they weren't part of this show. They will also realize it is because of the show their parents can afford their education. I hate this couple and think if anyone is doing damage to these kids, it is them by attacking their parents. What kind of family goes on national tv and does this. Quit trying to get your own fame and just go away. Nobody likes you.
They are sick and just want there fifteen, the reason they are not on the show any more is because THEY wanted to much money from TLC. Funny how it wasn't an issue when they where on the show but now all of a sudden its oh so terrible .. hypocrites. Also, sure the show may pat for their trips and outings but do we think on Johns salary before the show they would have been able to so much as go away for the weekend least of all experience all they they have?
It's about time someone had the 'nads to speak up for those kids and against their child exploiting parents, TLC and Figure 8 Productions!
Time to stop treating those kids like puppets!
Re: MEMEME4 – I figured someone would say that. No, I'm not Jodi, but I agree with her and Kevin. So many people are saying Jodi is jealous. What is there to be jealous of…. Jon and Kate are miserable!
For some reason i don't believe on what they are saying, i think they are the ones looking for media attention or $$, maybe they are just jealous or trying to get in the picture, but i have seen j&k+8 and those kids look happy, not all the time but just like a normal kid, who knows but i do see this 2 are full of BS!
Re: krazee33 – Totally agree with you =D
People who are asking "why are they just now speaking?" THEY HAVE BEEN… IT'S ONLY NOW THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LISTEN.
I think it is completely inappropriate for her family, or even his family, to come out and talk to the media, who are the MOST guilty of exploiting that family. Her brother and sister-in-law talk about how Jon & Kate exploit their children, so their response is to go on national television and exploit Jon & Kate? How much did Kate's brother and his wife get paid for their fifteen minutes? Hmm. Not that much different. I do think the show is clearly causing problems, but I don't believe it was intended. I believe that J & K agreed to do it so that they could give their kids a great place to live and have great opportunities. How many times on the show has Kate expressed gratitude for being able to do the things that they have done? Yet people want to paint her as a monster. People forget that Kate and Jon are somebody's mom and dad and how would they feel if their parents were being publically skewered?
Re: cheerioko – Then why did she agree to be on the show in the beginning? Im pretty sure it was the same show. They spread a load of krap. Jodi is a piece of trash. Who thinks a way of protecting children is airring every piece of dirty laundry a family has?
WHO CARES,TAKE YOUR BRATS AND GO A WAY….
Fame whores … all of them.
normally i am for jon and kate and their show, i never really realized how much harm it is doing to the kids. i don't normally listen to what their jealous family says, but they did make some good points, and seemed pretty emotional. will this make me think twice before watching the show? yes. will it stop me? probably not. I think it is up to TLC to stop the show, or at least restrict it in order to protect the kids
I'd like to punch Aunt Jodi. There concern is over the fact that they want some media attention of their own. She wants some fame too and is out giving the doe eyed interviews on the verge of fake tears over her "concern"…what a crock of crap. Kate needs to knock her out and be done. Jon and Kate have 8 kids to support and had no money to really provide for them. Now they do. Those kids are fine and in no danger other than the threat Aunt Jodi and Uncle Kevin pose by exploiting them on every news channel and website they can find that will give them some time and attention to talk about "their" issues.
Watching that clip makes me sick. Such an act. Talk about fake reality….take a look in the mirror ol' Jodi.
Re: cheerioko – You are getting annoying! These kids are healthy and there is no doubt their parents love them very much. I have watched every episode and I know that Kate is very appreciate of everything they have received. She just wants the best for her children as we all do. I would have given the same opportunities to my children. I am 43 and would love to have all of that video from when I was little. The kids are happy and they will realize all of the wonderful things that have been afforded to them was because of the show. Jodie says the kids don't want the camera at every vacation but there wouldn't be vacations without the show and they will eventually understand that. I don't care how you try to justify it…FAMILY DOES NOT GO ON NATIONAL TV AND TRASH THEIR RELATIVES!!!
leave them the fuck alone. I bet they didn't mention that they were all for the show until they weren't invited in on the cash. It seems like they're finding reasons to come out and make a name for themselves. How dare you put your sister on blast to satisfy your bitch of a wife. Leave Kate & Jon the hell alone!
Re: Vallerygirl –
WTF is wrong w you…you must LOVE to be cheated on!
Just the notion of a family member publicly bashing another seems petty and the TOTAL OPPOSITE of what they are preaching should be done. If they truly cared about those children one iota they wouldn't be going on tv bashing their parents. It does not matter what their opinion is, the kids love and are loved by John and Kate. Going public against them is only going to hurt the children even more then a reality show would.
Why is it that the show was okay when Jodi was in it? Funny, how some money flashed in your face makes some people back stab family in the back. Why doesn't someone ask Jodi how much they are getting for these interviews…then maybe more people will realize how pathetic her and Kevin really are.
That's f'd up that her own brother would speak against her. What are they trna do?? I f something happens where the kids are taken because they are being "exploited" are the bro and sis in law gonna take all eight?? they need so shut the f*** up and live there own lives away from the Gosselin's if they don't like it!!!
That BITCH is just JEALOUS as fuck.
Jealous, backstabbing siblings. they don't get a cut of the money or can't be on the show, so they go on a smear campaign to sabotage a show that is the livlihood of the family. How else is kate going o make such great money with 8 kids? IT's expensive raising children. We all know reality shows are not reality. Stupid ass shitty family. Get your own life and stop being so concerned about Jon, kate and family.
Leave the family alone. They are just as bad by talking abut this.
I've never watched this show and I never will. These kids dont have a choice to be on camera..it's wrong
shame on aunt jodi.. she wasnt talking shit when she was on the show… i would never go and turn against my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its jon and kates business.. not theirs!!!!!!!
Don't the aunt and uncle realize that by "speaking out" they are also exploiting their nieces and nephews?? They are using their family to get themselves on talk shows etc… what they are saying is complete BS if you ask me.
someone is jsut jealous that her kids arent famous and shes not getting her 15 min. on the show anymore. cry me a river bitchhh.
