Kate Gosselin: Jon Left Us Without Money To Pay The Bills

Posted on Mon Oct 5, 2009 07:25 AM PDT

And the drama continues! But rather than being about a certain 23-year-old homewrecking girlfriend or a verbal smackdown, this time it's about money!

Kate Gosselin chatted with Meredith Vieira on The Today Show this morning and revealed that not only has Jon been spending the couple's money on erratic purchases, but that he's left her and their eight kids without enough money to pay the bills!

Kate told Meredith, "He took $230,000 of the $231,000 [in their shared banking account], and I have a stack of bills in my purse that I can't drop in the mail. When you've left your children and their mother unable to pay for the roof over their head, it's not acceptable."

"We were in the position after our sextuplets were born that we could not pay our bills," she continued. "We did the show to provide a better life for them. Never did I think I'd be back in the same position. I can't sleep at night. I can't pay my bills."

And Kate says this isn't the first time Jon has done this! Just days before she filed for divorce in June, Kate moved $100,000 into her bank account because she was concerned that she wouldn't be able to afford food, but their arbitrator suggested that she put the money back into their shared account, which she did. Kate claims she spent half of the $100,000 on bills, while Jon used it for "erratic purchases and randomly buying things."

As if all that wasn't enough, Kate says the kids are upset that the show has stopped filming, saying, "I told the kids over the weekend that we weren't filming. Times eight, there was wailing and sobbing. They love the crew, they love the interaction, they love the events. It is not harmful to them. They are angry."

Sooo...whose team are you on this week? And do you believe 100% of what Kate's saying, or is she just exaggerating for the press? And what will Jon say in response to this?



Who knows about the kids, but we totally believe her about Jon!

Playing a victim again, poor Kate.

They should both stop using the media to complain about one another and go to court to discuss it.

OH waaaaaaaa. Welcome to the real world Kate. You and Jon need to sell some cars or maybe not get your hair done as much? How 'bout maybe downsize on the house? Her crying about not putting food on the table for the kids, just makes me want to laugh.

The kids are wailing and sobbing about the cancellation of the show???? REALLLYYY????? Stop putting words in your kids mouth. Be a MOM!

With all the money they make..... really you can't pay your bills. The best part about all of this is you go on the Today Show to cry about it???? I guess Jon started to look better than Kate and she needed to come up with something else to slam him. When are they going to get it we really do not care to hear about their issues.

The only one crying and wailing about the filming stopping is Kate. She loves the money, limelight and attention. All she needs to do is go back to being a nurse and work like millions of other parents. She is spoiled, opportunistic and selfish.

Jon's attorney said they were going to fight this in the public court, they want this in the media... How could any Man deplete funds in a joint account? Oh yeah... a really selfish one.

So kate spent 50,000 on bills huh. This woman is so full of crap. Everything is about money with these two. Maybe you should have not had 8 kids. What is she going to if the show is cancelled. Dumb bitch. So sick of these two.

Other commenters don't seem to realize that no matter HOW much money you make, if your spouse takes ALL of it, and on top of that has the ability to keep you from making more then you can't pay your bills. During a divorce proceedings selling of the assets is not allowed, so Kate would not be able to sell their Pennsylvania home for money, even if she wanted to.

It's been said elsewhere that Kate should go back to nursing, but I wonder if any of those people understand that little money would be left for the kids after paying for daycare for 8.

Jon has just gone nuts, and it isn't pretty.

Kate is resourceful, and I'm sure if the current show is cancelled permanently she will find another TV show venue. But in the meantime, it's sure causing a huge problem in her money flow, and more importantly the money she needs to take care of her children.

Thank God those kids have one sane parent.

So, they both can handle their divorce with more dignity. However, it is pretty obvious to me, at least, that this woman was stuck raising 9 children, while only getting paid for 8. If it isn't obvious by now, Jon is an idiot who is incapable of serving in a parental role. No wonder this woman is so bitter about her relationship with him, though there is no excuse for her reported diva behaviour. Though I hate for the children suffer any further in all of this, the show is an important source of income for them and it is obvious that Kate may be the only one who can provide some financial assistance to care for them, since Jon is obviously a dead end.

People, you don't know what kind of bills they really have. Spending $50K on bills is easy for some.

I actually am on Kate's side. She is home with the kids, only travels when it is for work or an interview, she doesn't host stupid parties in Las Vegas, she doesn't go on TV stating that she wants production of the show stopped because it's better for the kids, and that she wants to spend time with the kids, and then go off to California to be 'seen' like Jon did. Jon is a totall a$$hole. Everything will come out in court when their accounts are gone over with a fine tooth comb. Kate will come out smelling like a rose and Jon smelling like manure.

She takes money out to keep it safe and is told to put it back...then he fucking steals it. She knew the douchbag was going to do this, so I don't know why the court didn't do something about it rather than tell her to put it back. If he felt he needed the money that bad, why didn't he go to court for it, rather than just take it. Why would he do this crap to his kids.

I really doubt with all the money they made from the show, her book deals, etc that that is the only money she has to pay the bills.

You are all a bunch of morons. They have a continuous income from residuals on reruns. Her $1.1 million home is PAID IN FULL. They should both pretend to have some bit of dignity and stop airing their dirty laundry in public.

There is no doubt about it....Jon is the biggest sleeze bag ever!!!! Neither one was supposed to remove the money from that account. I hope the judge throws his fat behind in jail! If he was thinking about his kids, he would have left at least half in the account.

Maybe she should get a JOB o wait that would involve having skills that are useful in the workplace

Its time for Jon to get a real job and support his kids.



Posted by: Anonymous

Team KATE! Although I do have reservations about the show, since I don't watch it, it provides income to the family plus for that giant house of theirs. Hopefully her extra money set aside will help a little bit. She needs to get that money back, go to her lawyer and minimize the amount of visitation for John for her kids, since he's not a very good role model right now. John needs to get a real job (back doing IT stuff) to support his family and not rely on her or TLC for income. He's a POS.

This bitch is playing everybody! At first she couldn't stay home, too busy promoting herself and having plastic surgery! Now all of a sudden, she's a devoted mother...for TLC!! She was a bitch then and an even bigger one now. Oh pity me, I have 8 kids and no money. Perhaps she should have thought about that before she got pregnant! She treated her husband like crap, belittled him at any moment and now all of a sudden she's a saint? Oh, the kids are crying because the show is on hold? Is this lousy bitch serious? The only thing she's upset about it is, the cash flow at a standstill! All the money she has made and she can't afford to take care of her litter? Perhaps she should ask TLC for a loan. She is a pathetic fame whore capitalizing on her children for self promotion and money!!! She's a greedy, lazy reality ho!

All I'm going to say is that if her kids are as much of a priority to her as she says, she'll find a way to provide for them. It might mean cutting back (only getting basic cable rather than the premeir package, temperature in the house, running water/bathing multiple kids at the same time, renting a room in her house out). The chances to cut back and save are endless. You can talkmall day about not wanting to go back to a frugal lifestyle, but in life, things happen and you have to roll with the punches. Sometimes you have to sacrifice. I know people who work three jobs to support multiple kids who don't complain as much as Kate does. It won't be long before all of her children are in school... let's see if she is still complaining then about a lack of income. Daycare expenses will then no longer be an excuse. There are ways to cut back and sacrifice... she just needs to be willing to do so.

She is lying and playing the viewers so you all will pity her and agree she should do the show. With all the money they make from TLC, books, speaking engagement, how can they only have $200,000 left. She is lying. She put a large amount of money somewhere else.

TLC bought the house and gave them as a gift/trust.

all they are both doing is raising future f'd up greedy little fame whores like mommy and daddy!!!!! THANKS TLC...YOU AND YOUR NETWORK SUCK!!! PLEASE GO DIE..............

I'm sorry but Kate Gosselin needs to stay off the t.v show circuit and quit boo hooing about how she has no money because he took it all. Well, guess what?? You were a nurse at one point and he was an IT analyst… GO BACK INTO YOUR PROFESSIONS!! T.V isnt the only way to make money!!! Give your kids a normal chance of a life… all this lime light just screws up kids… get them out NOW!!!!! I do think he should put the money back in the joint account, for the kids sake.

Cry me a river you whining hag. What about all the money you're hiding from Jon? He's entitled to his fair share.

Welcome to the world created by divorce Jon and Kate- it is not easy but it is often emotionally and financially draining. So many of us have been through it, so we're familiar with your "he said, she said" routine. Keep your lives private for a change. Remember the biggest impact is the one you thrust upon your children, who have no control over the situation and aren't old enough to understand.

Isn't it AMAZING that every damn time their ratings drop significantly, there is yet another MAJOR upset in the family. AMAZING too that she is interviewed this morning and their tv show is on tonight! She continues to make me ill! What a phoney

Jon said they SHE has 11 damn bank accounts!!!

As yu can see there are still plenty of idiots out there. Jon is the typical male player that wont's his cake and eat it to. I hope Kate Plus Eight continues without Jon, and Jon should return those two seaters sport cars and pay the bills!!!!!

The only way those kids are truly wailing and crying about not being able to tape the show is if she told them all that they won't be able to afford everything they want any more and they won't have all their fancy things. In other words, if she subtly threatened them. These two are sick and liars and their poor kids are caught int he middle of all their immature, selfish bickering.

11 bank acc = 8 kids bank acc for education, 1 join for bills, 1 for kate (invested) and one for Jon he used all in vegas LA and his girlfriend's (3) so far.
there is your 11 bank accounts.
now I'm no expert but I think Jon used all his money to buy the bachelor place and party now he is know the liquid money is for the bills and she have no other way to get money fast so he decide to take it to hurt her for not leting him be on the show and stop his income since he is broke he want her to be broke.
Jon I feel sorry for you.
one day when you are old and your kids learn to hate. you will be the first person they hate for been so mean.

Good Lord Kate Gosselin, go the hell away and cry somewhere else. We will not pay your bills, raise the kids you had implanted in you. Where is all the money you are keeping from Jon, in your account that you put there while planning to divorce Jon, um, the court will make you give his part back you selfish cockroach. Those kids must hate you and they will see all your lies, I am sure they see you mean bitchy ways and how you abused Their DAD! Guess you do want to keep them working, I am sure you made them feel like shit if they don't work for you. Gosh, what a dirt bag you are Kate Gosselin IMO only.

The Judge who is over seeing this, should Take a percentage of what Both make from the show,put it in a trust for the kids Give both parents a allowence after giving the judge proof of what their monthly spending is to live. Any extra like, new car, traveling, they need to come up with. Get jobs. Others do it who are not that wealthy and make it work. Jon and Kate are loving the money and the attention. Free clothes, food, travels, etc from companies..

While I agree with some of the comments here, quite a few folks do not know what they are talking about. A nurse and IT specialist do not make that much in Ohio (we border PA for those of who don't know). I am an RN....for 28yrs now....some of those years were full time and some part time; right now...teachers make more than me! And I just checked with the hubby on how much his IT guy makes....&35,000/year. SO WHAT they want their children to live in a nice home....lots of jealous people posting here.
And the earlier post stating that she would not be able to sell the home in PA because of the pending divorce is absolutely true. Also, any debt he incurs is also hers now...thats how it worked for several of my friends and sister who husbands did the exact same thing Jon did.
I commend Kate for hanging in there....I told my family tonight her kids will probably be the best at following directions in their kindergarten class because SHE has made them....something, as a school nurse, I do NOT see very often these days. She makes them behave and calls them on it when they do not...and for this she is call the"B" word....probably by those same parents who do not do any disciplining and then verbally attack the school when their little angels get in trouble. Seems to be Kate is about accountability.....more than Jon thats for sure...he shows up to be a Dad when it is convenient for him.

What went wrong on The X Factor today with Britney Spears?

Britney definitely had another meltdown. This is proof she's not ready to step back into the spotlight!
I think Britney may have overreacted to a bad audition, but it will be entertaining to watch later!
I think Simon Cowell planned this all along. Brit probably even rehearsed it!
