Kate Gosselin Didn't Want Marriage Counseling

This is just getting beyond ridiculous.

Douchebag Jon Gosselin has been going on an all-out media campaign to defend himself and bash the mother of his eight kids.

And now he's opening up about the supposed "therapy" he received… from Dr. Phil!

On yesterday's ABC special, Primetime: Family Secrets, Jon reveals that Kate Gosselin would only agree to go to therapy if it was with Dr. Phil.

Says Jon, "I was very hesitant. I was like, 'What the heck is this?'"

Well, we kinda agree there. Wouldn't you want to go to private therapy with a certified, good marriage counselor?

But according to Jon, the session with Dr. Phil wasn't really about fixing their marriage, but more about fixing their TV show!

Jon adds, "We talked about the brand and corporate things and making the brand work. I felt it was weird. I was like, 'Why am I here? I could be snowboarding.' It wasn't helping."

As for Dr. Phil, he simply said "I respect the Gosselins' privacy, I have no comment on their marriage."

If this is true, we wonder how Kate will spin it. Though she still seems like the better parent, but Jon's doing a good job of trying to make her look bad!

      I don't support abuse. But I also don't support whiny crybabies that will call anything they don't like abuse. That would be you.
      ~
      Oh, and you don't speak out about abuse. If you REALLY wanted to that you would have an anit-abuse blog, or be helping at an abuse shelter, or giving talks to highschool students about it. As is, you just blather on like an idiot in the comments of a blog that you think supports abuse. How retarded is that?

      Re: *yoshi* – Who said ANYTHING about ABUSE CHARGES!?!!?!? Thousands of people are abused everyday and they don't file charges. Doesn't mean they are not abused. You don't have to file charges to be abused moron. Why don't you ask the police! LOLOLOLOL And you don't have to stay with an abuser no matter how long you have been with them in the past. Keep talking though. And be sure to let everyone know you are Team Kate

      Re: Elvira.Sophia – I love that you seem to care SOOOO much about what I say that you can't stop replying. No you don't care!! LOL Typical contradictions of an ABUSE supporter. >yawn



    4. 104

      Anyone remember the GUM incident?
      Where Kate SCREAMED in 3 yr old Collins face that she was throwing away the blanket that he took to bed with him every night because it had gum on it?? When he begn to cry she told him it was too bad. Mady came in and told Kate that he slept with the blanket every night. Seems even Mady , who Kate refers to as the one with the least amount of caring for the tuplets, even understood that you do not treat a 3 yr old that way. WONDER WHO KATE IS ABUSING NOW!?!?!?



    5. 105

      Another Kate Moment- Kate puts Hannah in the corner because she would like to eat her cereal without milk. Such a crime I am surprised she got away so lightly. KATE—-what a mom! PRO KATE people must be proud

      I reply because I'm bored and on pain killers. That makes me *easily* amused. You are like a little toy that I'll forget about in a few minutes.
      ~
      And you still haven't said if you actually do anything to speak out about abuse.
      ~



    7. 107

      Another proud Kate moment-Kate screaming at Jon across the TOYs R Us store in front of the Kids and shoppers. Jons crime? She needed him. Yet he was standing and watching the kids where she told him to stand and watch the kids.



    8. 108

      More Great Kate moments on FILM!
      Kate telling Jon not to breath, Kate correcting Jons language, Kate telling Jon to cook for them and then yelling at Jon for cooking for them, Kate ordering Jon around……ect
      For abuse supporters here are more reasons to support Kate! LOL



    9. 109

      Kate is a controlfreak who uses her kids for attention and $$, she lives like a star. Jon is very inmature and being like an A hole.



    10. 110

      Re: Elvira.Sophia – Everyone already knows people who support abusers are losers, no need to cement it by confessing your use of pain killers.
      Love the drug user trying to tell me how I should be spending my time LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Keep talking. You make your support of abuse sooooo much more understandable with each syllable.



    11. 111

      Kate would like to thank each and every one of her supporters for helping to keep the spotlight off her so that she can continue to whore out the kids on TLC and make MORE money. She would like to also thank you for ignoring the fact that she did not try to go to counseling to save her marriage. She did not try to stop the show to save her marriage, she did not try to assume responsibility for her own abusive behavior so that the kids could have a father, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends. She would like to thank you for making the abuse possible and she will continue to try to dress well and fake cry for you all in public.

      and fyi, using painkiller for something like a kidney stone doesn't make you a drug user, it makes you a sore and ill person.

      It is truely pathetic to me that ANYONE would insinuate that someone who is not physically abused is therefore NOT really abused. Verbal and emotional abuse is rampant in this country. Emotional abuse effects a persons life every bit as much as physical abuse . I challenge any one of you to choose any one bit of negative self talk that you have at some time in your life engaged in ( we all engage in negative self talk from time to time) Now ask yourself …where have you heard it before??? Chances are it was from a parent or someone else in your life. It takes 300 positive statements to undo 1 negative one. You abuse supporters are truely pathetic and unthinking. The amount of damage that can be done to children and adults via verbal abuse is staggering.



    16. 116

      Re: Blippp63
      Keep twisting it. You make Team Jon sound even brighter than he already does. I said there is a limit on FILING A COMPLAINT YOU FUCKING MORON.



    17. 117

      Re: Blippp63
      And no one said he wasn't abused. I said he isn't the face of abuse as you seem to make him. He is trash talking her, not trying to say, "Hey, I was abused." He is saying "America, love me. I was her bitch." And I am not on either team. I like that Kate isn't trash talking him like he is her. SHE'S ACTING LIKE AN ADULT EVEN IF SHE IS A BITCH.



    18. 118

      It was revealed in People magazine that Jaycee Dugard , who was kidnapped 18 yrs ago and recently released having mothered 2 children from her abuser was brainwashed. As part of the same story Shawn Hornbeck reveals that every aspect of his life was controlled. This type of abuse is accomplished verbally ,so to discount verbal abuse is SICK! Abuse is about CONTROL. EVEN physical abuse is about CONTROL! Many abusers look normal and try to appear normal.



    19. 119

      Re: Blippp63
      We should make you the face of abuse since you seem to keep preaching about it. No one is saying he wasn't. Fuck. I'm done with this shit. You act like a fucking child.

      ::Why am I here? I could be snowboarding::

      I love how this guy slams Kate and then makes himself look even douchier than her. I didn't think it was possible. Yeah, let's go play winter games instead of working on a marriage that concerns 8 children. These people are SO beyond selfish, all this trash talk is going to mess their children up even worse than they already will be. I know it's kind of late to say this but… THINK OF THE KIDS, FOR ONCE. Seriously. Sick.



    21. 121

      To all the people blabbing about watching the show and how we'd side with Jon if we did - I actually watched this garbage at one time (before I realized what an exploitative piece of crap it was) and I have to tell you, I wasn't on either team. People do to you what you let them do to you. Kate would insult him and he'd tuck his tail between his legs and look at the floor. That is NOT a man and clearly someone who doesn't respect himself so it's no wonder he doesn't get respect from Kate or anyone else with half a brain cell. I have no sympathy for her either, but it's pretty clear if she wasn't running the ship, it would have sunk because he clearly wasn't doing anything. Also, for people complaining that Kate's insistence on doing the show and making money was the problem, need I remind you that Jon was a grown adult male who had just as much of a say in what happened and clearly doesn't seem to mind now that he's blowing his kids hard earned cash. These people are completely messed up, and frankly so is anyone running around defending them after the horrible example they have set for their children and for the public at large. Take those kids AWAY.



    22. 122

      Blippp… just so you know, Kate Gosselin already has a neverending wad of cash and eight kids, I highly doubt she is going to sleep with you so you can STFU now.



    23. 123

      Kate does not deserve to be rewarded for whoring her kids out.
      She does not deserve to be rewarded for refusing to try to save her marriage,
      She does not deserve to be rewarded for being greedy.
      Kate does not deserve to be rewarded for alienating the relatives and friends of her children.
      Do not support Kate
      And do not watch her on The View



    24. 124

      Re: CuddlyCarla – Did you say something? Perhaps the same contradicting and hole filled arguments all the abuse supporters,errrr I mean Kate supports have. heard it all before……
      >yawn



    25. 125

      Amazing how no one has any actual proof that Jon has done something wrong. All you people have is whining that he is out at parties instead of being with the kids and has a girlfriend. Which is pretty funny considering he can't be with the kids when its not his turn to be with them. He is not the one who refused to go to counseling. And considering he and Kate have both admitted the marriage was over months ago.



    26. 126

      DENIAL - its not just another river in Egypt.
      Kate supporters care as much about the children as KATE does.
      Which isn't sayin much.



    27. 127

      *
      Jon's life is all downhill from here. He DREAMS of going downhill on a snowboard.
      *
      He has the opportunity to work on his marriage and make a ton of money and he can't focus on the conversation or understand why he's there.
      *
      WTF is he on? besides alcohol, cigarettes , and Haily's bong……….
      *



    28. 128

      Double the exploitation - double the FUN!
      No one in their right mind would take an offer of marital therapy from Dr. Phil seriously.



    29. 129

      Kate refuses to Give Mady Water.
      Mady begs her mom for water. Kate then askes the TV crew for some water. You think she is going to give Mady a drink, and who wouldn't, thats what a normal mom would do. Instead Kate takes a drink herself and refuses to give Mady water. Oh yeah Kates an awesome mom.
      PRO KATE= PRO ABUSE



    30. 130

      Kate's a controlling Bitch! She only cares about the $$$$. She just had to produce $80,000 she hid away.
      I've seen all the shows and she treated Jon like crap go ask Aunt Jodie! TLC was going to give Jodie and Kevin a few $s for all the time they spent with the kids and Kate wanted none of it. So when Keven and Jodie came out with the truth Kate accused them of being paid off. It's all about the BUCKS w/ her. When this is all over, which it will be, Kate is going to be one lonely Bitch.



    31. 131

      See the amazing KATE!
      She commits abuse right before your very eyes and lemmings are completely unable to see it!!!



    32. 132

      KATE is all about money and fame.
      She would sell her mother for a dime.
      Actually I am not sure she still has a relationship with her mother, she may have already been sold. LOL

      Re: Blippp63 – GIVE IT A REST! Sheesh! You wouldn't happen to be JON GOSSELIN, would you?

      I saw a cat do this with a mouse once and you can see it on youtube.
      Kate refuses to Give Mady Water.

    35. 135

      And get a better picture of Jon up you douch!!!!!!



    36. 136

      Sounds like a money-maker. Douchebag shoulda done it…



    37. 137

      you is an ass and he is just trying to get whatever he can out of this no one hates the person that cheated on the hate the cheater
      and that is what jon is a cheater and a lier and a big baby kate did the right thing by divorcing his sorry ass good ridenons to the ass i say



    38. 138

      why should i believe anything this dick has to say?



    39. 139

      As bad as this particular stint looks, I still can't believe there are people that take Jon's side in this.
      I mean, yeah, she's high strung and sometimes a bitch, but there's no need for him to carry on in his current jack-assery.
      I've watched the show, no need to pounce on my 'non-knowledge' of it. I could care less how he used to be, it's what he's making of the present. Sure he earned some merit, but not nearly enough to get him out of all the current bull.
      Honestly though, it doesn't even come down to how they treat / treated each other.
      At the end of the day, it's about their kids, and Jon is setting a terrible, TERRIBLE example. One day, the kids are going to look back on this, and be able to see their parents entire divorce laid out for them in black and white. Who do you think they'll be more embarrassed of? The mother who turned down money to do a Playboy shoot, or the dad who's off to clubs making cash off of what ever media he can get.
      The parent who stayed at home with them and looked out for them, or the one off with his sleazy girlfriend who's only 13 years older than his oldest daughters.
      I feel so bad for those poor kids. No one deserves to be caught in the middle of their parents divorce. Especially when the entire world is watching.



    40. 140

      I am sure Dr. Phil told Jon he should not be running around in bars with gals in their 20's etc. Jon was drinking heavily as he admitted. Dr. Phil may have tried to warn dumb Jon that he would destroy their marriage and the brand Kate worked her butt off to create to provide for the children's future.Jon wanted to be free of being an adult. Kate should resign from Jon and Kate Plus 8. TLC should fire Jon. Kate should take off the rest of this season. She and the children need a break from the paps. TLC should hire Kate and the children ONLY for next season for a brand new show without Jon. Jon has ruined their brand. Kate is still marketable. JON IS NOT



    41. 141

      I can see why Kate would not go to just any counseling. As they could be selling their story to whoever the highest bidder (regard;ess of ethic code).



    42. 142

      John felt beaten down by Kate. Why the hell didn't he put her in her place before it got so bad? Typical case of a wet noodle. Rather than speak up, let it go on and on until he explodes. The longer it went on, the more of a power trip it was for her. I think she liked being in command and he let her.
      As far as the cheating, I bet they're both guilty as hell.



    43. 143

      could be snowboarding…
      bet thats the answer to everything.
      im sure he could die and his kids wouldnt know the difference…
      probably think daddys just snowboarding.

    44. keli says – reply to this


      144

      I am going to stop looking at your blogs perez. You obviously have never been in a controlling relationship. once your out of it you go a little crazy with the freedom for a while. It does not mean that you dont love your kids, in fact you leave that relationship so that you can have a better relationship with your kids on your terms, not on someone elses. STOP bashing jon and watch the show from beginning till now and you will understand why jon is enjoying some freedom. Team Jon all the way
