TLC Fires Back At Jon Gosselin, Suspends Show!

Posted on Thu Oct 1, 2009 10:20 AM PDT

After TLC announced that they were dropping Jon Gosselin from Jon & Kate Plus 8 and subsequently renaming the show Kate Plus Eight, Jon had his attorney send a "cease and desist" order to the network, and he demanded that the show's crew leave the property he shares with Kate in Pennsylvania immediately.

Attorney Mark Jay Heller said, "Jon realized his family was like a trainwreck, so he decided to put the brakes on the divorce and on the show…because if he didn't the family would be in a mortal accident…the victims of a trainwreck."

So what did the network have to say in response to Jon's words of wisdom? Not only are they halting production of the show, but they totally ripped him a new one! TLC released the following statement:

    "We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic. Despite Jon Gosselin's repeated self destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents."


Eek! Maybe he should show a little more gratitude towards the network that earned him all that money? Or did TLC make a mistake in dropping him?

I bet if you gave him a piece of the show the divorce and the show will be back on. He is such a loser! Congratulations to Kate on being the better person.

Be willing to bet this is about him getting more money out of Kate, or TLC. I don't care for either one of them but, he does seem like a real scumball. It probably is best for the kids but, I don't think this is more about money, than the welfare of the kids. I can't stand to look at him anymore. Normally scroll over anything on him but, this is just too obvious not to comment on.

Correction: I think it IS more about money, than the welfare of the kids. He was accusing Kate of having money tucked away, and now all of a sudden he's doing this? Slimball's not fooling anyone. I can't figure out why there's so much coverage on him. He's a big nothing. A lowlife with absolutely no talents.

And how exactly is he proposing to support the children without the income from the show? The way it looks to me, Kate is the only one bringing money into the home outside of the show (books, talk show appearances). Maybe he better get a job before he cuts off their primary means of income.

This guy is a major f***ing loser!!! It's all about the money with him.
His kids would be better off without him. I hope Kate fights him on this all the way.

This guy looks like a "pimp" daddy. Look at his cloths, how fat he is, his greasy persona. Just wreaks "pimp" daddy manwhore. I would be sooooo embarassed to have him as a husband. unfortunately this lady is going to have to deal with this pathetic excuse for a human being for the rest of her life. he will always be there sucking the life and money out of her. i wish her well because he just ain't ever going to go away.

It's a good day for the kids. Finally they don't have to work no more. They can stay away from the spotlight and have privacy.

This man is not doing this for the sake of his kids...You just watch, they throw a couple of extra dollars his way and his kids will be back on the show...Between both parents, these kids will never have privacy...they will always be exploited...its the only way they can afford all 8 kids.

Jon Gosselin = The King of all Douches

I wonder where he thinks all the money that he buys his crap with comes from, his job? That's right, he has no job.

Hate to say it, but getting the TV cameras out of the house, ending the TV show, and working of parenting is exactly what should be happening.

Calling Jon a douche may be accurate, but at least he's not a whore with his kids any more than Kate is.

Really, these kids deserve to be left alone for the rest of their lives.......who gives a shit about Kate and Jon?

The kids are pure, unadulterated gold, Jon and Kate are both screwed in the head, and the worst parents in America.

Kate, you gotta a long time dealing with this loser!!! Just make the best of your life. The kids will be grown before you realize it. Stay strong. Sometiems we just make bad choices and have to live our lives the best we can. I'm sorry.

This guy is the most disgusting loser in America. K-Fed has nothing on him. He suddenly realized, once TLC tried to unload him, that he no longer wanted them to film the kids. He is such a douchebag, this is all about money. If they didn't cut him off financially, but offered him a generous settlement, there wouldn't have been a peep out of him. Kate and the kids would be better off without him - AND I can see what Kate had to deal with all those years, good grief, the woman deserves a metal for putting up with this idiot.

According to another site, this has little to do with the kids. It's more about TLCs not cutting ties with Jon, and not allowing him to do another show without their permission. Also, TLC consented to paying Kate the full amount of money, with or without Jon, and I imagine Jon wants his share of it. TLC has shut it down, 'til Jon and Kate can work things out. I say, stop all the coverage on it, and let it all fade away into the sunset.

The Hellers are just desperate. Mike especially. He might make money off these so-called 'stars', but it's in the lowest ways possible.

"The kids are pure, unadulterated gold..."

Have you seen the show lately? The kids are very spoiled, jaded, and rude now. It's the result of being brought up by TLC network. No one is teaching them right or wrong. They are encouraged to act like monkeys on camera.

Jon did it on purpose to get himself fired. So he could get his kids out of the contract with TLC. What else can you do to get out of the contract? This is the quickest way to do. Get yourself fired first then the contract is no longer valid. You can terminate the production as a parent not as an TLC employee or contractor.

If you are an employee/contractor and you want to terminate the contract, TLC can sue you and you might not win.

When they are under TLC contract, TLC runs his family.

You guys are so stupid!

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!
