Jon Gosselin continued his confusing PR campaign this weekend, in which he attempts to charm disillusioned “fans” by doing shady, slimy things. According to Kate Gosselin’s lawyers, ol’ JoGo got busy with the couple’s cash this weekend, withdrawing over $200,000 from their joint bank account without telling his ex-wife. Classy!
Apparently the money came from a bank account Kate uses to pay the family bills, and neither Gosselin is allowed to touch it without the other’s consent. In true reality whore form, Kate showed up on “The Today Show” this morning to flaunt her tears and reverse mullet in an attempt to gain the public’s sympathy. Yep, we’ll admit it - it kinda worked on us. Watch above.

Jon is the world’s biggest tool…taking the award away from Kanye!! He’s immature and selfish and needs to go away…even if Kate is a wingnut, she is THE better parent and the kids seem much more happy w/her…Jon just wants to stay in the public eye…what a jerk!! A**hole of the year award goes to HIM! Good luck to Kate and the 8 withOUT him!

I THINK THAT JON IS SELFISH AND SHOULD RETURN THE MONEY BACK. HOW IS KATE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE KIDS.

That’s a cold slap to not only Kate, but the children as well. That money is community property, belonging to the whole family. As far as “True Reality @*@“%_*#*)%!&+_@ Form”, that is totally a low class statement by the author. Why is it when a man has an affair, he’s a stud, but the female is considered a @*@“%_*#*)%!&+_@ A man takes money from the family when there is already an agreement for them to notify each other; so, what does that make him? A thief, that’s what! Why the label for her, but not for him? At least be fair about it. Too bad she can’t have him arrested for that; a thief is a thief.

I feel for her but at the same time this I think this is all an act to win public attention and sympathy and make Jon look like a complete jackass. She didn’t do the show on her own, she didn’t make those 8 breadwinners/kids on her own so why is she entitled to 100% of the money. I am more than sure it doesn’t take $230k to take care of her kids and pay the bills for the month if so maybe she should think about simplifying her reported lifestyle of tans and hairstylist and all and start living simple like the Duggars. Should he give SOME of the money back– DEFINITELY because just as she didn’t make those kids on her own neither did he but is he entitled to some of it regardless which woman he’s with for the week–YES!

If the money is community property it needs to stay community property. They were obviously not the best suited couple and divorce could have been eminent without the reality show. The show itself is a double edged sword because it led them to a financial life that enabled them to not only provide for all of the children, but allow them all the extras, trips and things that most families are unable to do. The children are getting to experience so much of life, however the downside is that it is in front of a camera, and yes, I do believe that going through a difficult emotional situation such as divorce is harmful enough to children without all the attention and they should have a reprieve from all the publicity. Who knows what the answer is? I am just an observer like everyone else, with no real answers. Just an outsider looking in and hoping the kids experience the best of life and walk away happy, healthy, and educated.

I don’t get this at all…$230k in a joint account that’s NOT to be touched by one without the other person’s consent?????? Jon, that action alone tells me that you’re the greediest IDIOT I know, because all you want is MONEY! There are BILLS that have to be paid (i.e. property taxes, which I know is not cheap, for starters), and there are EIGHT kids; they have be fed decently, dressed decently, AND have to have a roof over their heads, not to forget a chance at a decent education. I personally think Jon’s wants to do stupid things with that money if it’s that high of an amount to take out. If anyone didn’t notice earlier this year, he DID have his ears pierced (saw the pictures in US Weekly) so that should have been a small clue right there. Kate, I don’t know you but I wish you the best of luck with this. You don’t deserve idiots like him.

Kate needsto kill the fake tears, we hae seen over the last five years how she has been loud, bossy and down right rude to John. No one deserves to be spoken to like that. Where is all the other funds that you have accumultated over the years, you ar just greedy and want to maintain on TLC. You are full of bolgona. Think about your kids future and discontinue the shw, this is not healthy for anyone.
