Kate Gosselin isn’t taking this one lying down. The mom of eight just released a biting statement in retaliation to Jon Gosselin‘s attempts to shut down Kate Plus Eight.
She says:
“I’m saddened and confused by Jon’s public media statements. Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits our children and was taping on Friday with the kids. I check in regularly with each of the kids to be sure they want to participate in and continue with the show and will continue to do so. I do the show for my family because I believe it provides us opportunities we wouldn’t otherwise have. Jon used to share that belief until as recently as the day the network announced the name change of the show and indicated that Jon would have a lesser role in the show. It appears that Jon’s priority is Jon and his interests. My priority remains our children and their well being.“
Oh, SNAP!
For the time being, TLC has halted production of the show.
Kate’s right, though! Jon never expressed that the kids didn’t want to be on camera when he was featured on the show. In fact Jon was just recorded at the end of the summer saying that the kids LOVED filming the show.
Yet the day he gets the boot, all of a sudden he’s all looking out for the kids’ “best interests?”
We knew Kate wasn’t going to take any of his BS!
