America was locked in last night to watch the “life changing” announcement from Jon and Kate Gosselin on their reality TV shit-show. It was no surprise that the couple announced their impending divorce plans.
While the actual episode only alludes to a separation, according to the papers filed yesterday, the couple have forged ahead for a full divorce.
Kate has not been heard from much since her media tour defending Jon in early May, but she just released a statement explaining the recent developments of her relationship with Jon:
“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children. While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself. As always, my first priority remains our children.”
And even though he supposedly hates all the media attention, Jon went ahead and released his own statement- and a much longer one at that!
“This afternoon, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my number one priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe. My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn├óΓé¼Γäót change that. This will be a difficult transition for all of us, but Kate and I will work out a schedule that enables our kids to have plenty of quality time with both of us at home in Pennsylvania. In terms of my marriage, it├óΓé¼Γäós no secret that the past six months or so have been very difficult for Kate and me. We are no different than other couples and parents who are facing a crossroads in their marriage. I am of course deeply saddened that we are divorcing.”
Do either of them look very sad to you in the clip from last nights special episode? (above)
Yeah, we don’t think so either.
Quite frankly, we’re pretty appalled by how they are handling this and we think in ten years time, when their kids will be able to watch these videos back and read the tabloids themselves, they are going to see and feel the gravity of this situation they’ve created.
But we see no end in sight from this media firestorm, especially when now Jon is a free man whose probably going to party is Ed Hardy-loving ass off and Kate is going to play the struggling single mom card all the way through to the end of the season.
Welcome to the never-ending story.
We love it!
