Jon Gosselin photographed with woman who’s not Kate UPDATE: Kate Speaks

Maybe my little April Fool’s prank wasn’t so far off after all — looks like Jon Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame has been caught by US Weekly photographers in the company of another woman leaving a local bar at 2 a.m. One witness told the gossip rag that Jon “could barely walk,” although he seems far from being incapacitated in the pic. You would think Jon might be more careful about being in such predicaments nowadays, since just a few months ago the internets was buzzing when Gosselin appeared in a photo with two young college girls.
But unlike that photo, which personally I think appears to be nothing more than fans seizing a photo op, this time Gosselin was photographed in his car with the woman, and he admits she is a “friend”. And, uh oh, Jon also doesn’t seem to be wearing his wedding band in the photo — but maybe he was just feeling bloated that day. And where was Kate while this was going on? On the other side of the country — unlike me, apparently Jon has no problem getting a babysitter until the wee hours of the morning. Gosselin had this to say in an email to US Magazine:
“I went to [the bar] Legends to speak to the owner,” Gosselin said. “A friend of mine wanted to check out my car, so I let her drive it to her car,” he says. “Yes, I have female friends — but that is all she is. I’m not going to end my friendships just because I’m on TV.”
Well, Jon, we have a feeling Kate may soon end your female friendships because you’re on TV. And “check out [his] car”? What hot ride is Jon cruising around in nowadays that would attract a young woman’s attention?
UPDATE 05/07/09: Kate appeared on the “Today” show this morning, and told Merideth Viera that she doesn’t believe anything was going on:
“I’m very hesitant to believe any of it. It goes with the territory,” Kate [said].
Kate said the matter would remain between her and her husband.
“We’re dealing with it privately,” she explained. “There are those things we keep to ourselves, and we’re working through it together.”

Usually when people have open relationships they give each other the permission to have other people. That is what I meant by permission. Sorry I am not all on the up and up on all the poop about Jon and Kate, I just watch the show when I am not busy, which is not often. Whatever, seems some people’s live revolve around what other people do in their lives.

That makes a whole lot of sense.
Since your life does not revolve around what other people do, maybe you don’t need to be commenting on what we do. I am pretty good at multi-tasking so I can get quite a bit accomplished in my busy life and still have time to blog and express my concerns for eight innocent children.

Jon’s funny when he says “Yes, I have female friends — but that is all she is. I’m not going to end my friendships just because I’m on TV.” OH YES HE IS! and you know why? Because Kate will put an end to that. You know she wears the pants in that relationship (or what’s left of it) and she carries his balls in her front pocket too. So what she says GOES. Good luck trying to appear like a real man Jon —everyone knows you have no backbone and Kate has ripped your manhood and stuffed into her organic pancakes. LOL I feel bad for this family —they got in Waaaaaaaay over their heads and now they can’t reverse it. It’s the price you pay in exchange of free Gymboree and Ann Taylor Loft clothes, free vacations, and mansions Katey!

so that means that I can not particapate on your Blog since it says that it is Valerie plus 8 right. Why can’t I post my opinions you are, or are only people who have something nasty to say allowed to post on here?

All I can say is…..”It was just a matter of time before this happened.”
This is what Kate gets for talking to Jon like he is an idiot, year after year, season after season…and that is what we see on tv. No doubt, it is even worse when the cameras are off and they are alone.

Anothermom, Here is a statement from your very first post. What did you expect? You most certainly can participate on this blog. However, you started with the nasty comments. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Sorry that most people don’t agree with you here. However, you started with the nasty comments.

FYI: That was a generalized to the public at large statement.

And FYI: I have been on blog sights all of, or yeah, this is my first. I was not saying anything to anyone on here, I was saying it with the whole Public of the world, America in particular, in mind. I will keep in mind that people take things as if you are speaking to them personally, and they say I have social issues because I am AS, at least I know when people are just making general comments.

So what’s your problem with people making general comments about Jon and Kate?

You got that right! Valerie is always right! Sounds to me that you are the one making all the nasty comments here! Aren’t you the one that called everyone nosy and told everyone to get lives of their own in your first post?
Todd - Just curious…do you live in Chicago?

I find it sad that people would make comments like “Kate this is what you get”. I don’t care how mean or controling a woman can be, and we all know Kate can be mean and she is way too controling, but she doesn’t deserve to have her husband cheat on her. Jon is a creep and a complete a**hole if this story is true which I happen to think it is. If you don’t like the way your woman treats you then get out. Cheating is wrong. I feel bad for Kate. She doesn’t deserve that. No woman does.

Perhaps no womand DOES deserve to be cheated on Sara, you’re probably right. However there are ALOT of people who wont be able to stand by and feel sorry for Kate.
While I agree that Jon is an asshole and its wrong to cheat, lets not put the “Saint” in front of Kate Gosselin’s name just yet.

I just think that Kate has OCD and needs some professional help for herself and her husband. Maybe they just need to work out some issues, and they would be better for it.

Ahhhh…So AnotherMom is actually Another blogger too.
Why oh why is it that whenever a blogger comes here to defend Kate and Jon Gosselin, they cant be honest and on the up and up?
Really, Anothermom or Lola, whichever you are, you just lost A LOT of credibility. How can we EVER trust your words when we arent able to trust you enough to be honest about what you post and what name you post under?
This is the reason so many Kate defenders are treated with wariness and mistrust.
You started this game, not us.

Jon and Kate are adults and chose the public life, the kids did not. While there appears to be many benefits for all, I have a concern when Kate labels her children as this and that….she’s the smart one, he’s the worker, he’s the baby, she’s the sneaky one. I’m especially concerned about Maddy and her tantrums on TV — does anyone else think these “labels” will follow these kids as they grow up? I have twin girls 23 years old - just grad. from college Saturday.

I grew up without a tv crew and camera in my life and I was labeled by people. Everybody labels everybody. My older sister is the smart one and my little sister was called the baby and she was too little to do anything. I was the sneaky/daydreamer. I don’t think these kids will suffer for being labeled.
Maddy’s tantrums, those do worry me. They are attention grabbing at the most and they need to be dealt with. Jon and Kate will definitely regret not handling that now.

Why do people have to throw mud at a couple who are just trying their best to raise a large family. Greed and evil minds is all I can come up with. Can’t we just believe they are happy and leave them alone? I don’t believe the nasty rumors and feel for the whole family. The poor kids.

I think that Jon and Kate are good parents at heart, but I think that they both could use some professional help. There is the possibility that they feel a bit trapped by so much responsiblities(yes they chose their situation, but you don’t always know what you are in for when you start something). Even adults act out when under stress.

“I’m especially concerned about Maddy and her tantrums on TV — does anyone else think these “labels” will follow these kids as they grow up? I have twin girls 23 years old - just grad. from college Saturday.”
She will probably out grow it, but you’re right, it is possible that she will have to work hard to get away from the label, which once she is older will turn from a child with tantrums to the bitchy girl. That will not be a good thing for her. It reminds me of how people think of Shirley Temple (Black) as a cute little curly hair girl, but most people do not realize that she grew up and spent many years and I think she still is associated with the Republican Party in the U.S. state of California. Children who grow-up on TV seem to have a hard time breaking out of their childhood rolls.
Congratulations on your daughters’ graduations!

I say Kate gets the girls, including Maty, she created the bratty little things, and Jon gets Cara, the boys and the dogs. That way Jon gets his share of sh*t too!
54. SaraLyleth

I think that Kate will get the kids if, God forbid, they break up. I don’t think Jon wants the responsibility anymore. His behavior kind of shows that, I think. At least Kate is trying in a misguided way to provide for her kids. Jon just seems to be angry and upset with the way his life is but is he trying to fix his unhappiness with anything except clubbing and a younger woman? That’s not exactly a responsible father.

I have to admit that I just started watching this show, but in all things you have, to see things from a 360 degree angle. First, no person “deserves” to be cheated on, BUT, women need to realize when they are doing things that will drive their husband away. On a constant basis I have watched this woman emasculate this man. They cannot have an interview on “their” show without her interrupting him, correcting him, chastising him, belittling him, and showing him no respect as a wife. It would seem to me that if she would relax and allow this man to be a man she would get a better response from him, and their children.
Second, in their “official” website as Kate tells the story of how their life began, she admits that Jon was reluctant to become a father, both the first time AND the second. Realizing Kate’s very dominant personality, as she displays it on the show constantly, I hardly believe that he ever completely consented to becoming a father, more I believe that she pretty much did what she does today, “my way, or no way”. With all of that it is no wonder he is acting like a child off his leash while she is promoting HER book. I will not say that this is a reason for him to cheat, but for every action there is a reaction. I honestly feel sorry for both of them because he looks miserable constantly, and she always looks stressed.
Lastly, as with all things “reality”, television is completely different from real life. It is hard to judge solely on the basis of what you’ve seen on TV. I mean there are producers, directors, and a host of staff between you and the people you watch, so as we make decisions about what we see we need to keep that in mind. Every parent has issues with their children. Every marriage has marital problems, but then again, we are not under the microscope of the American viewers each and every day. But, America needs to become more responsible with the example they set by monitoring what they air. With that being said TLC needs to re-evaluate this show because IMO it is setting a horrid example of marriage.

Pat MacCauley, when this show started out it was about the children, a little bit about Jon & Kate but mostly the kids. The longer the show was on Kate became the “STAR” of the show. Jon basically sat back and let her do all the talking. Or should I say, Kate decided she was going to do all the talking. Everytime Jon opened his mouth to say something, Kate cut him off. It had to be her who made the statements. I noticed early in the show he learned to shut up when she started talking since she always finished what he started to say.
And was always nasty in the way she said things to him. Give the guy a break!!! how is Jon suppose to handle that while he is being filmed and not look like a fool coming back with a smart ass comment to Kate. It has always been since the beginning “Jon do this! Jon do that” oh Jon the laundry room is flooded!!! what do I do? Mop it up and stop complaining about it. Is what he should have said.
On top of that she is suppose to be a nurse, but she acts more like a stupid person. Oh Jon how do we do this or is it going to take too long? The day he was making Koreon food she claimed she didn’t know how to do it so why was she is the kitchen telling him what to do? She is so afraid to touch a turtle yet she is a “NURSE”, a nurse will touch things then a turtle. Thought she was also going to go crazy at the beach with the sand crab. Give me a break already. she acts like a hardnosed bitch most of the time but is afraid of a sand crab. I want to barf already. I wish the state of Pa. would go in and make sure those children aren’t abused or mistreated. Don’t blame it all on Jon, I think he stays to keep the kids safe. Though I also feel he feels alone and abandoned. He needs people to talk to, whether is is mail or female. Just want to say does anyone else notice that 4 years should not be using pointed scissors? They could have lost an eys and she never said a word.

Carolyn, honestly if something of abuse were happening, the authorities would’ve shut down production long ago. I really think it is unfair to the Gossselin family, especially the kids, when statements like that are made on the blogosphere. That is a strong accusation.
58. Carolyn J
May 18, 2009 @ 2:50 pm
Terri, I never said that the Kate was abusing the kids, what I did say was maybe someone should check up on them. I am the mother of 5 children of my own. I can tell you that never was I able to get my kids to do the things that Kate gets them to do. When do you see a 4 year old go to time-out without a bit of a fuss? I have never in my life seen children that age be so neat and tidy all the time. Watch them when they eat, they have to wait till everyone has their food before they start eating. And when do you ever see kids that age not get food on their clothes? Give me a break!! I truly believe those kids are scared straight. Why do you think Mady is always having meltdown? I’m sorry after raising 5 kids of my own I find it hard to believe Kate gets them all under control with talking to them. Why doesn’t someone ask them themselves. Only an observation on my part. though how many others see it the way I do?

Terri: You have been a fairly strong advocate of Jon and Kate. I am wondering, in light of all the recent fallout, how you feel? Has your opinion changed? The People Magazine article is pretty damning and the video interviews given by Kate’s brother, Kevin and his wife Jodi, are also hard to ignore.
I dont ask this question with any sarcasm or malice. I truly am curious if you see things a bit more the way many of us have for awhile. Its hard to ignore a lot of what is being reported, especially if, like me, you see Kate Gosselin in a less than flattering light.

Mully, I just have a question for you, when did Kevin/Jody do their interview and on what network and or show were they on. I seemed to have missed that and really wanted to see it.
Also want to say there are so many of you who are down on Jon, I have to go to bat for him. I have seen in the last couple of shows that Jon is sporting what looks like a bruise on his left forhead, and am sure that others of you have noticed this also. What do you think caused that? Just a question but makes a person wonder what goes on behind closed doors. I sure would love to be a fly on the wall of that million dollar house. Don’t everyone jump down Jon’s throat, making him out the bad guy. I don’t think that when he married Kate that life would lead him down this path. I think Kate also had another agenda but she was much more careful than Jon.
