We have to give kudos to Kate Gosselin. She definitely hired herself a better PR person than Jon!

Even cold cold Perez was moved by the blather she spewed this morning on the Today show.

Kate spoke to Meredith Vieira about her kids, her deceitful brother and sister-in-law, and of course, her ex Jon Gosselin and Homewrecking Hailey, with the latter bringing her to tears.

Watch a teary Kate tackle all the tough issues in her life on national television (above).

      Wednesday, August 5: Elizabeth Carlisle, an employee at a Petland store in Akron, Ohio, posted a photo of herself grinning as she holds two dead, soaking-wet rabbits by the scruff of the neck—-rabbits she just drowned while on Petland's time clock. On Carlisle's Facebook page, she confirmed a friend's guess that she had drowned these two rabbits and wrote, "[T]he manager took the pic for me. [S]he reminded me that there were people outside as [I] was swearing at them to just hurry up and die but then she was so kind as to take this picture."
      .
      Other comments Carlisle posted made it clear that the rabbits were drowned after sustaining agonizing injuries when they were allowed to "attack and eat each other." The rabbits suffered from "deep wounds all over," "an eye missing," what Petland staff "suspected was a broken jaw," and paralysis from the waist down—injuries that would not have occurred had these animals been provided with proper care and supervision.
      .
      Please sign the petition to punish Elizabeth Carlisle to full extent of the law

      The only 'tough issue' that she has yet to deal with is why she (and the spineless husband) sold their children to the highest bidder for explotation on National Television. Karma is a bitch and now she is getting a dose of it with more to come. Feel sorry for the kids but not for the two whom refer to themselves as the 'parents'.



    3. 3

      awww Kate… God bless!



    4. 4

      TEAM 8!



    5. 5

      who cares? she asked for it when she started to exploit all of those children……no pity party from me…….



    6. 6

      Team K8!



    7. 7

      I LOVE KATE AND CAN FEEL HER PAIN.I ONCE HAD A CHEATING BOYFRIEND!



    8. 8

      And I care so little I wont even watch it.



    9. 9

      poor her :'(



    10. 10

      Ummm….this was the um hardest um interview to um watch. Umm If I hear her say one more um fucking "UMMM" I was going to throw um a rock through the um TV. KATE You are on TV 24/7—don't say "Umm" all the of time! It makes you look ignorant!



    11. 11

      CHIN UP YOU STUPID BITCH



    12. 12

      Yup, I feel bad for her. Although she seemed like a bitch on the show, looks like she's the better person by the looks of her party hungry, immature, chick hopping douche, soon to be ex husband. He's just making a total ass out of himself.



    13. 13

      Kate brougth is all on herself… just watch the early shows and it's clear who is at fault for the failiure of the marriage. Kate. She treated Jon like crap and that's with the cameras on. I do feel some sympathy for Jon but none for her. Of course, the children will suffer and it will be interesting to see what their take on it all is when they grow up. At least they have each other and hopefully they will find comfort in that when their parents are too selfish to really care. Kate has not portrayed herself as a loving, kind mother. It's all about the money….



    14. 14

      Aww poor Kate!!! I hate Jon!!!



    15. 15

      TLC must have paid for some acting classes for Kate.



    16. 16

      How anyone can feel sympathy for her is beyond me. She treats Jon terribly, and while he isn't a wonderful person, I understand why he would run from this witch.

      Save your tears lady. If you really wanted your husband to stick around, you wouldn't insult him, demean him, and verbally abuse him for years on end. You reap what you sow.



    17. 17

      She's wearing her wedding ring for sympathy and crying crocodile tears….if she cared about her husband while they were married, why did she constantly belittle him, tell him he was stupid, worthless, ridicuos, etc….I don't feel bad for her all all….she drove him away.



    18. 18

      I don't buy her shit for one min! if you go back and watch their show from the beginning and you watch how she treats jon and now she is playing the innocent card dear baby jesus! give me a brake!



    19. 19

      It's very important to never let your happiness depend on the presence of pseudo-irreplaceable others. Or to know how to replace people when you are let down. Please cultivate self-happiness.



    20. 20

      Kate, I think your kids will look back on this time of their lives and be proud of how their mother handled things. I cannot say the same for their father. Jon is behaving so selfishly, I have lost all respect for him.



    21. 21

      Because TLC recognizes Kate as the cash cow she is, they will make sure that she has all the positive publicity they can buy. No sympathy here, Kate. Stop whoring out those kids!



    22. 22

      Ugh…there you go again with the "homewrecking" thing. Newsflash Perez…ANGELINA JOLIE IS A HOMEWRECKER TOO!!! Get off her dick & recognize that shit!

      I usually cry or tear up when something like this happens & the emotion is there & real, NOTHING she said in this interview made me cry or tear up, I didn't sense ANY emotion from her…I have no sympathy for her.



    23. 23

      Seems she left out the fact that she bought a luxurious apt in the Palladian Condo's where she can shack up with Steve-and it's less than 40 feet from his Rockville,Md office! Steve being a pro bodyguard knows all the tricks of the trade for keeping people's movements and buisness dealings private.Never watched an episode of that shit show.



    24. 24

      Poor, Poor Kate…She spent all her time treating Jon like shit. Talking down to him and just being the bitch from hell and now she wants us to feel sorry for her. Oh PULEEZE. She pimped out her kids and treated her husband like he was nothing more than a sperm donor. She deserves what she gets.



    25. 25

      I have to say, I cannot stand Meredith Viera. Every single time I see something that she's involved with, I have to turn it off— her voice, her approach, and her terrible interview skills drive me out of my mind.

      Anyway, this is so predictable. Kate said things that would protect her. Next up: Jon says things that protect him. Bottom line: they're not going to tell us "what really happened." They're going to tell us what we need to know in order to be strung along, watch the shows, and buy the covers. If any of you think this is at all real, including which divorcee is better than the other, you're out of your minds.



    26. 26

      wow, that was really sad… i used to hate her but now i'm on her side. Jon seems like a complete douchebag and he shouldnt be with that whore Hailey. and btw, she looks gorgeous! the hair's kinda distracting lol but i never realized how pretty she was (:



    27. 27

      I clearly remember the date when my ex-husband moved out and that was 25 years ago. Kate is just a BIG liar! I really don't think she is fooling too many people these days.



    28. 28

      UGHHH SO FAKE……..



    29. 29

      If you watch the show you can see why Kate was so hard on Jon. He seemed oblivious to almost anything and needed direction for even the simplest of tasks. Hence the temper of Kate. I get that way too if my hubby doesn't listen. :) It was he not she that stepped out of the marriage. I feel badly for the whole family. Except for Jon. If you are the product of divorce you understand what pain the family is going through.



    30. 30

      why is it okay for her to be a canoodled up w/ the bodyguard but he can't even look at a female? and I don't even watch this shit…i just go off hearsay……



    31. 31

      I hate her. Why does she think she is so important? Come on and wrap up these 15 minutes of fame! Bitch is acting

      Re: Bigdawg – I went to the petition site and signed it… Ms. Carlisle is a disgusting human being and I hope that she feels as defenseless and vulnerable in prison as those defenseless, vulnerable rabbits she is holding up, dead and soaking wet. SICK FUCK!! ROT IN PRISON!! P.S. Look up the Petition about a kitten named Tiger Lily and please SIGN THAT ONE TOO!!! www.thepetitionsite.com/1/punish-elizabeth-carlisle-to-the-full-extent-of-the-law

      BooHoo,All she needs is a new hair style.She's got a nice bod ,she can hook up with some rich dude that loves kids and we'll never have to hear about her ever again!

      Re: Snuggies keep me snug and happy – She didn't say worthless and stupid. She did treat him like one of her children though, but hell it seems she had too. Look at all the great decisions he makes when he's left to his own devices! He's a douche.

    36. taday says – reply to this


      36

      hahahaha! i love how all early viewers of the show agree that kate is a bitch and deserves this while ppl who do'nt even really watch the show thinks jon is a douche and feel sorry for kate! for the record kate is a bitch n jon does deserve better. good for him!



    37. 37

      Re: Kay $ – @ 32 - i signed also….everyone should!!!!!



    38. 38

      Her eyes didn't even get red or puffy when she fake cried… What? No yelling at Meredith for breathing too loud???



    39. 39

      Why are people feeling sorry for her? She was a bitch and everybody knows it. If I was Jon I would have done the same. Well I guess those acting lessons before being put on the Today Show really helped out. She's really desperate for people to feel sorry for her, and the funny part is some of you guys are actually buying her crap, some people need to actually re-watch some episodes again and then watch this video right after and then get a good laugh. BTW if she was like that to Jon on tv, imagine what it must have been like off camera, ugh that must suck.

      But I do feel terrible for their kids, I hope they'll be fine.



    40. 40

      I know for a fact that she was snuggling with her "bodyguard" just last night at Eddie V's in Austin, Texas. There was no lack of PDA, so, I have a hard time believing that she has been as faithful as she claims. It seems that her estranged brother/sis in law were right about the Silver Fox dude. Just irritating to hear her still dogging her dork of an ex husband if she was doing the same thing (sort of). Jon is still nastier.



    41. 41

      It's very hard to feel sorry for someone who is such a hypocrite and in such deep denial about their own actions. Kate accuses her brother of exploiting her children by speaking publicly about them. Isn't that exactly what she is doing??! No one in their right mind would air their dirty laundry on national television unless there was a payout in the end. She is promoting her show, her books and her appearances. All the while she justifies this by saying it's her job. If she truly cared about her children she would get them out of the spotlight ASAP. But then again, the attention she clearly is addicted to would go away too. I feel sad for those children.



    42. 42

      This is what happens when you get married. No one stays together anymore, yet people still insist on getting married… I have no clue why. It's antiquated and was used to keep women down back in the day…



    43. 43

      Everyone says 'oh she treated him so bad' blah blah..BUT YOU try raising 8 kids and see how much patience you have. He is a 'loving' father, but she always had to step up and take action when it came to the kids. He just kind of sailed along. My patience gets tested all the time and I have ONE toddler!



    44. 44

      she needs a new hairstyle.



    45. 45

      Well I would have loved to watch I couldn't get passed kate saying UMM every other word…..so annoying!!!!



    46. 46

      can't wait for the show to be cancelled, they're both douche bags!



    47. 47

      She is still human and has every right to be sad. No one actually likes going through divorce. It's sad it tears people apart. Those kids are going to have a hard time. The show is to make sure the kids can be supported and I dont fault them for it. At least they are not on welfare like octo mom. Jon is a mornon. He is going to hell for the way he has acted. Sadly those kids will see all of this later.



    48. 48

      I just feel bad for the kids. They're the innocent ones,in all this drama.
      I never got into watching the show,and I won't now.
      It's just sad that the kids have to see all the bs and to be part of tabloid hell.
      Imagine them going into a store and seeing every rag with their pictures on the front page! The older ones can read !
      Yea,the kids are the ones who are and will continue to suffer,as long as their lives are so public.
      Kate needs to quit that show and Jon needs to grow up!



    49. 49

      I gotta admit, she is a better actress than I thought! I guess TV really has tought her something after all. F@&*ing Bitch

      Re: RedWingsFan – EXACTLY



    51. 51

      jon is a creep…poster for mid-life crisis.



    52. 52

      I hated her before she was and is so mean to Jon but nobody deserves the pain she is feeling right now and the shit she has to explain to her kids hes a douche and should burn in hell for making his sex life and std life so public



    53. 53

      At least she's doing whatever it takes to keep the kids' lives as normal as possible. It must be heartwrenching for them to see their "father" acting like he is. It's sad that Jon would rather do damage control for his fat camp whore than for his own children!! He deserves to rot in hell with every other deadbeat dad!



    54. 54

      Please!! She's so full of shit her eyes should be brown!!! "PITY ME" has gotten old Kate.



    55. 55

      Who would "cry" over that douchebag chink john..
      yuck.



    56. 56

      She seems kind of lost and humbled now that she has nobody to BITCH at 24/7. She pushed him out that door. I feel for her, but there comes a time when she has to realise her part in the dissolution of her marriage.



    57. 57

      Let this be a lesson for all the chicas out there (and I am one myself). Let the man be the man - especially in front of people. Also, love your husband like you are his girlfriend - or he will go out and get another one. Regardless of how many children you have!



    58. 58

      TEAM KATE ALL THE WAY



    59. 59

      Re: TraciinTX I'm for hating on her, but seriously. Lying isn't the answer. Your know for a fact stance, is directly contradicted by the fact that she's been in New York for two days and the Today show is filmed live…



    60. 60

      Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 Says the hypocrite with no morals…



    61. 61

      Maybe if she wasn't such a controlling bitch, I would care. :\\\\\\



    62. 62

      Re: LizardKinG – I'm with you–no one cares about this woman and her litter



    63. 63

      This is ridiculous…she claims that she loves her kids, but yet craves the publicity so much that she won't stop the show for her kids. She says that Jon's decisions affect the children, however doesn't her decision to keep the show running affect the children? The longer the show goes on, the more and more it will affect the kids. And I hope no one forgets that before all of this happened we all saw Jon pleading that he wanted to end the show, and Kate quickly was just like, "nope, I don't". Ridiculous.



    64. 64

      "Boo hoo hoo, I'm rich so everyone pay attention to me." Ugh, this annoying twat is such a conceited, deluded moron; I love watching her cry. I think the dead animal on top of her head is rabid.



    65. 65

      I don't buy her tears she treated Jon like shit all the time on the show, no wonder why he left her for another woman.

      Fuck Jon.



    67. 67

      Re: ArloLuvsPerez – that is EXACTLY what i was thinking did any one actually COUNT how many times she said UMMMM, shes not looking too heartbroken either and if she REALLLYYYYY loved jon like she claims she does she wouldve remembered when he walked out and look at the way she says it, of COURSE SHE KNOS WHEN HE WALKED OUT, what woman doesnt??? I bet JON KNOS, the many ummms and fake tears hide so much shit its not even funny, she knew exactly when she drove him away and she knew exactly when Jon didnt want to put up with her anymore, both Jon AND Kate are fucked up and chose money over love, even the love of their kids will never ever be the same



    68. 68

      Re: taday – I've watched the show since it was just a documentary. I always liked them both equally but Kate was a bitch to jon because of exactly what we are seeing now. he is an immature douche.



    69. 69

      She's a very talented liar.



    70. 70

      Bigdawg - I'll spend my time taking care of other human beings, thanks.



    71. 71

      While all you fuckheads are feeling sorry for her, she is laughing all the way to the bank.



    72. 72

      I did not watch this scank and who gives a fuck. Please please Perez no more of this scank and no more of that Nichole Ricie scank



    73. 73

      i feel bad for the kate, but more bad for the kids. i wish they'd both just grow up, jon especially, and get back together and sort it out.

      For a brief moment in this video, you see a shot of John and Kate together. In that shot John is wearing IU shirt. John did NOT attend IU so is the shirt secretly supporting Hailey..or even one of her big roomy "dorm" shirts? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

      77

      Are you guys seriously so stupid as to not realize why she continues with the show? She needs the effing money to support her kids!! How can she continue to feed, clothe, educate, etc. all eight of her children without the massive income she receives from TLC? She clearly doesn't have time for a real career…how else do you propose she makes money? She can't just stop filming "for the sake of her kids" and expect that she will have enough dough to provide for them. Where would the money come from?

      Stop hating on her for continuing to work with TLC. She flat out doesn't have any other options. If she were a fame whore, she'd be messing around in NYC at parties like Jon, spending her money on luxury items, and being away from the kids. Seeing as she hasn't done any of these things, Kate is not fame crazed.



    78. 78

    81. 81

      I didnt hear her say anything about her brother or sister-in-law… What interview did you watch, Perez?

    82. MP says – reply to this


      82

      Famewhore. I don't understand why people are feeling more sympathetic toward her. Both Kate and Jon are nothing but famewhores who are exploiting their children for fame and money.



    83. 83

      Actions speak louder than words! These people are selfish and it's obvious Kate cares more about her appearance and reputation than anything…Get your freakshow off the television!!!! If you cared about your children you would protect them and their future from the media!!!!



    84. 84

      What an actress. Who taught her to cry on command? Didn't she see the whole damn thing coming? I think I saw the show once and that was more than enough. Enough to figure out what a controlling and calculated bitch she is. I'd run really fast if I were her husband, too. But that's still no excuse for Jon douchiness! The whole family seems fucked up. Those poor kids…



    85. 85

      I love Kate! She handles all of these topics so maturely and sincerely. I truly admire Kate Gosselin and think she is such a strong woman!



    86. 86

      Why is this bitch crying on national tv? She is the one that called it quits. Stop bitching and go away.



    87. 87

      The details of the separation is to be remained private? Why the fuck are you on TV then?

      Disgusting bitch.



    88. 88

      How surprising that she turns up on television crying her crocodile tears right after Jon's interview was just published, and her show's newest episode is on air tonight - and it has falling ratings. How dare she accuse her own brother, who was nothing but loving to her children, Of greed and jealousy. He left the show because of Kate's greed and jealousy. She accuses him of getting paid for interviews - somehow she thinks she is the only one who should get paid since that's why her brother is no longer involved with the show. She is a sick woman who needs serious professional help for her personality disorder and pathological lying.



    89. 89

      Alot of you are being very critical. She is in a very difficult situation, so show some compassion. I really feel bad for the kids.



    90. 90

      People come on, why are people taking sides with these 2 idiots. John and Kate are intentally sturring the media pot full of BS, they have already moved on and found new BF and GF's they are trying to keep this story alive (he said, she said)for the sake of the money. They have admitted the've been separated well before she filed for divorce. The TV show is probably forcing them out for interviews to keep the John and Kate feud/Divorce for the ratings. They know once the J & K story is over with so is the money, stop feuling the nonexistent feud.



    91. 91

      STFU easy for you to say that she's a bitch etc.
      you have NO idea what it is for a fucking douche bag to leave with 8 KIDS
      you people are so ignorant while the fat fuck is in FRANCE???
      she was bossy to jon in the begginning cuz he's like a little kid
      and doesnt stand his ground

      Oh poor Kate! so demure and soft spoken. Playing the part part pretty good. Kids dont care about a darn wedding ring. Just be the bitch that you are! Perez stop feeling sorry for this idot!



    93. 93

      Aw I love Kate….everyone can talk shit all they want but I think she did what she had to do as far as paying for her children. Perhaps the show turned out to be a bad idea, but when the babies were newborns I bet all she was worried about was "HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO PAY FOR 8 CHILDREN= 8 college degress, etc! She's not a bitch but a mom trying to get shitz done!



    94. 94

      What a drama queen and a liar to boot. The whole divorce petition she filed had stated that her and Jon hadn't been together for two years. What a conniving bitch, trying to play off people's sympathy. A disgusting human being who blames everyone for the shit she created. What a rotten and lousy excuse for a human being.



    95. 95

      Re: taday – I watched the show from the start and stopped before they went richie rich. Jon is an asshole. He was always ignoring her or saying passive agressive things… and basically acting like a surly teen.

Everyone is quick to say Jon shut up and get home to your kids well she needs to do the same damn thing. They both need some serious therapy… ASAP!!!
