Jon's Lawyer Fires Back: TLC Is A "Monster!"
Posted on Thu Oct 1, 2009 03:11 PM PDT

It's a game of he-said, she-said!
First the network tried to change it to Kate Plus 8, the Jon got pissed, then Kate chimed in, TLC called Jon "erratic" and now Jon Gosselin's lawyer Mark J. Heller has released the following statement:
- "As legal counsel for Jon Gosselin, I am totally confident that he will be completely successful in his quest to take back control of his family and preserve, protect and ensure their future well-being by putting the brakes on his divorce and pulling the plug on TLC, the media giant that he perceives as a monster that has exploited and manipulated his family and has been partially responsible for the breakdown of his marriage. Jon is resolved not to allow the TLC corporate machine to devour his family and promote the monster's best interests over those of his family. TLC and Discovery have been reputed to have generated approximately $186 million dollars for the quarter - compliments of the Gosselin family, and Jon firmly believes that their greed to continue that cash flow will be trumped by his courage and determination to protect his family."
Will this feud ever end? And whose side are YOU on???
Sadly, it's the kids that suffer.

The little man is angry because he got booted out of the show. NOW he is so concerned about his children and the toll the show took on his family. Well, too late for all the pretending that you're some sort of caring angel. You took the free hair transplant, free motorcycle, free this and that already. You're not a real man. You are a freeloader exploiting your kids so you don't have to get a real job to support them.
Team John, if only because there is a chance the Gosselin family will get the *f* off my television set, get their children into therapy and just disappear off my radar.
As was said, the children will suffer the most - sad.
Better late than never.Shut down the show and let the kids have some privacy or better yet stop watching it.
He had no problem "exploiting" his children when he was benefitting from it. Now that he's not he's a loving and concerned father? this guy is an embarassment to his family, not an asset. Hope Kate wins this one, and I don't even like her much.
America, there are two wars going on, soldiers are dying, Generals are making requests of an administration more interested in the Olympics, Iran is firing missiles, unemployment is at an all time high, and if you didn't notice, the stock market dropped 200+ points today.
Why does America insist on making Jon + Kate and 8 train wreck so visible when we have more pressing problems at hand?
I agree, why are we even talking about Jon? He is a little, evil, narcassistic man who cares for himself and his ego and nothing else. We should ignore him.
Good luck. Charlie Sheen tried blocking his kids from appearing on Denise Richards reality show. They were still on it anyways and Charlie Sheen is a lot more well known than idiot Jon.
TLC is gross. They have ripped off the childhood of these little kids and have profited the most from it. TLC, Jon and Kate all have let the greedy monsters in them take over, and money has become the priority over the kids. I NEVER will watch TLC. I even boycotted Kelly Rippa and Mark C's new show because it was on TLC. I would of liked to watch that new show but no way was I going to watch anything on the disgusting TLC channel. Note to all future good tv shows, please don't put your show on TLC, because that really is The Loser Channel now.
i'm on their therapist side. both are freaks. it's sad for the kids but their parents are totally crazy
NEITHER ONE. THEY ARE BOTH BITCHES THAT I WISH WOULD STOP CLOGGING THE TABLOIDS AND THE TV SCREEN.
TEAM TLC!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEAM kATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish they would just get back together.
Those poor kids. They never stood a chance. That being said, I can't wait for them to write a tell-all as adults.
5:32pm Wonder what the Vegas odds are that one of those kids will write a tell-all some day? Other odds would be how many of the kids someday will try and sue TLC for "lost childhood", of course they will also be suing their parents. What are the odds any other future exists???
F8ck Jon.
Greedy bastard.
@3:55
your b****ing about what's going on in the world and how we are pathetic for talking "tabloid", but yet your here, on x17, a gossip site...f*** off!!!
Jon is a prick. Kate is a bitch. The kids are screwed.
Anyone who is on "Team Jon" at this point is an idiot. This man is pathetic, transparent, selfish, and a horrible horrible father. Horrible!! The saddest part is that these kids are going to grow up one day and see what a flaming asshole their idiot father is.
Personally, I think this whole charade is COMPLETELY and TOTALLY scripted. Just wait to see how many millions tune in when there's a whiff of Jon and Kate reconciling. Ratings = $$$$$$$$
The feud will end as soon as TLC gives Jon more money. Just wait and see!
Jon is brilliant. He was acting out to get himself fired. Now he is fired. He is no longer under contract. He can get his kids out of the contract. And he wants his lawyer to pay the 8 children money for the work they did for the last 4 years.
If the kids get the money, they will be all set. They will be off TV but have trust fund.
Did you hear what Kate's lawyer said? He said if Jon wanted the kids off TV, Jon should have gone to court to fight the contract he already signed last year. So when Jon was under the contract, he had to go to court to get his kids off TV. That could take months.
Now he gets fired and the contract is no longer effective. He can stop the TV production now.
Kate's lawyer was really mean and he didn't want the kids off the show as if he owns the children. It's a family issue. The lawyer is getting in the way and wants the kids to fulfill contracts.
I don't like Kate's lawyer. That fat guy has no concern of the kids'well being. He only sees this as business.
At least Jon's lawyer seems to treat it like a family matter.
I was a Jon & Kate Plus 8 viewer because of how wholesome the family used to be. MONEY and FAME is what drove the couple to where they are now. It is incredible how both Jon and Kate have transformed to celebrities and loving every minute of it. How sad. I used to love the show but now they have left a bad taste in my mouth. Let's focus more on important issues...economics, wars and better education.
He is such a LOSER!!! Fat, ugly, whiner who wants America to believe that he is concerned about his children's best interests. Yah he is so concerned that he brings home a girl from the bar as a babysitter, then screws her while the children sleep. Baahhhh! GO KATE!!
By the way... who is paying for his attorney?
Jon needs to nut up, grow up and shut the fuk up.
Team Kate.
So, John, how are you going to provide for your family now? You don't have a job anymore, and because of you Kate doesn't have one either. Now, I am taking it for granted that Kate is making money from the sales of her books, but will that be enough to support the 8 children you won't be able to support? You will not be able to get all the free goodies that you were able to get for the children now. No more Crooked Houses, no more trips to the beach, no more free matching clothes, no more free groceries, no more free motorcycles for you, no more nothing Jon! I hope that Kate wins this little war! The children are not being exploited by the show, if they were you would be able to see it on screen. The people who have been producing and filming the show are like family to thos children.
Get off of your high horse and be a real man Jon. If you really want to save your marriage with Kate, then go for it, but you would have to be able to support Kate and the children. You will have to find the money to send them all to college.
Hanging out with Michael Lohan is not helping your case any. He is an idiot and most likely living off of his daughter and dating someone young enough to be his daughter. You are falling in with the wrong people Jon, you are dating someone who is totally wrong for you, too young and stupid. You are not only ruining your life but hers too. You are not only ruining your life but you are also ruining your children's live.
You now own an apartment in New York? Who is paying for that apartment? TLC because you were making a salary with them, quite good salary at that. How did you afford the new house? Your salary from TLC, or was that a freeby too?
Kate will come out on top in this divorce, she is the one who cares about the children's welfare. She is the one who has raised these children, and she done a fantastic job! You on the other hand, haven't done so much from what anyone could see on the show.
You just want money and don't want to work for it. You are a sad, sad, sad, person!
that guy is SUCH A LOSER!!!!!! all the while he was on their payroll and filming, he was more than happy with them, but now they fired his fat loser ass, he says they exploited his family etc...WHAT A LOSER!!!!!! He is the only one seeking the spotlight. He should be bff's with Kanye!!!!
I am most definetly on Jon's side. Even before this happened, I have been on his side. I am a married woman now, but I was single with 3 daughters that I raised on my own. I was always surprised that Jon stayed with the B**th for so long. How did she expect her marriage to work when she spoke to him as if he was a complete idiot? Yeah, maybe he did wrong by jumping into another relationship (or more) so soon, but think about it. After years of putting up with her, do you blame him? Good, for you Jon, Stop The Madness Now!!!
I agree with you 7:11, Jon is finally growing some balls and standing up for himself. He said very publicly months and months ago, on the show, that he did not want to continue it. He's finally standing up for himself and also bringing his family back into his life, which he wasn't *allowed* to do in Kate's world.
I agree that the show should be taken off the air but I really think that Jon should have waited until he has another source of income to support his family before he made it impossible for Kate to support them. It does seem spiteful and ill timed. How are they going to support their kids and pay their mortgage now?
Team John,
John wanted to stop the show a long time ago. Did you guys not notice how Kate spoke and acted with him? She was the boss. Poor thing never stood up for himself. Did you guys not notice how she refused to give water to the little brat Mady? She is ALL about the money!!!The show just needs to end PERIOD! ENOUGH! Everyone in the family received FREE stuff! Kate is the one who went on more trips than Jon. They don't need millions to support the family. Get a regular job. Kate is a loser if she thinks the ONLY way she can support her children is by filming their life. WHATEVER!
If Jon wanted to stop the show and if he cared about his children and fixing this he wouldn't be in the lime light all the time. He would stop interviews, lay low and take care of things. He is making it worse doing interviews that make him look pathetic.
