Jon And Kate Plus Hate
By Wyatt Earp | June 24, 2009
Normally, I would never post about these people, but this story finally gave me the brain aneurysm I so expected.
Let me be clear right from the start: I don’t watch the show with any regularity, but Mrs. Earp does – or did. What I know is from her word of mouth, news reports, and a family friend neighbor of the Gosselins. That being said, I am sure of this: Kate is an uber-bitch.
LOS ANGELES, California — TLC will take a six-week break from producing new “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ episodes to give the Gosselin family “some time off to regroup” after the couple split up, the cable network said.
Kate Gosselin filed for a divorce from Jon on Monday, after 10 years of marriage and four weeks into the current season of the popular reality show.
Um, is she frakkin’ kidding? If anyone needed to run screaming from that marriage, it was Jon. Make no mistake here: Kate Gosselin is why the “C-word” was created in the first place. To wit:
“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children,” she said in a statement released by TLC on Tuesday.
“[T]o protect yourself and our children?” I have seen some clips of the show, Kate. You’re a friggin’ maniac. The kids (and Jon) need protection from you and your insanity.
Jon said he realized he had been “too passive.”
YA THINK???
“I just let her rule the roost and do whatever she wanted,” Jon said. “Now I finally stood up on my own two feet and I’m proud of myself.” (H/T – CNN)
Good for you, Jon. It’s a shame it only took you ten years to figure out that your wife was a gold-digging attention whore.
I feel badly for Jon, because from all indications, he was P-whipped by the monster he married. The show only heightened her despicable qualities, and the fact that she is trying to spin this as being all Jon’s fault is laughable.
Mrs. Earp’s college roommate lives in the same vicinity as the Gosselins, and when she was down for dinner a few weeks ago, she confirmed what most people had expected: Kate is a spoiled, arrogant woman who thinks her pseudo-celebrity makes her better than the “average” person. She allegedly told her neighbors to not associate with her, because, you know, royalty doesn’t mingle with peasants.
The sad part of all of this is that she is neither intelligent, interesting, or attractive enough to achieve fame on her own. She had to do that by stuffing her pink parts with fertility drugs.
Hopefully, every suitor will immediately see her lack of inner beauty, and she will stay single and alone for the rest of her miserable life.

I think I’ve watched the show about five times (yes, the other evening, too). I didn’t like watching it, because of her. I kept thinking that if she didn’t straighten out her act, she’d end up divorced.
You cannot be a control-freak, snotty, crocodile-tear shedding, boob implanted, tummy-tucked (well, she did have two litters) monster and expect a happy marriage.
He gave up a lot for her and she’s a crazy beyotch.
He contributed to that dysfunction, probably out of wanting to keep the family together, but geesh…her kids are going to flee as far as they can when they are old enough.
Now they’re calling the show “Just Kate Plus Eight.”
Glad Jon got the wontons (my new favorite phrase-thank you!) to flee to a flophouse. I’m not sure who is worse, Kate or Octomom.
Saw this coming for over a year. A woman cannot denigrate, pick on, physically abuse (she actually hit him all the time), her spouse without it turning out badly. I’m glad he finally got the cojones to move on. Despite Kate’s attitude that she was all important, the kids and Jon did just fine when she was gone. Suspect he’ll do just fine, and she’ll stew in her own juices. She has no idea that the fault lies within.
RT – I’m glad he got the Hell out, but I worry about their kids. You know she’ll badmouth him to the kids behind his back.
Mrs. Crankipants – Probably #1 and #1a. Heh, heh, “wontons.”
Yep, she will. I endured that for many years and it took until adulthood to understand that marriages take two people to mess them up, even if one person goes completely off the marital rails. It screwed me up for a long time and very nearly cost me my relationship with my father. Good thing I’m stubborn.
If you ever watch it, there is one twin (the older girls) that acts precisely like the mother. It is scary. I honestly think if he sued for custody, he’d win.
Thankfully you broke and posted about this first. I’m too tired.
And people wonder why I don’t watch television any more (Except for the occasional Mythbusters episode, of course).
Good for Jon for finally manning up. Too bad it took so long.
Honestly, I felt sorry for the kids even before I found out about all the crap between their parents. Having your entire childhood broadcast for millions to watch will probably do a number on any kid’s psyche.
If only he’d have had the stones to divorce her before his picture appeared in a zillion tabloids for sleeping around. He as much as admitted that he was having an affair with the woman he was photographed with.
That said, I’ve never even seen the show. I get all my information by browsing tabloids in the supermarket checkout lines.
My Missus has been a regular watcher of the show. I do admit that I did watch the American Choppers/Plus 8 hybrid. But the Missus said that Jon should have issued an ultimatum to kate. If that didn’t work, she said Jon should have packed it in a lot sooner. She called her a crying, whining *****.
I have been married to the Missus just over 26 years and we hung on even through the ups and downs. But those big, fat checks from TLC have evidently had a rather strange effect on kate. Otherwise known as gimme, gimme.
This is why I have never watched the show.
I heard they were calling it “Kate Plus 8; needs a Mate!”
RT – In Pennsylvania? Never happen. Kids almost always go to Mom, no matter how inept she is.
Captain – Well, stop being such an OT whore!
Raptor – If I want to watch reality TV, I’ll watch Deadliest Catch.
AD – Agreed. No matter how much of a shrew she is, he should have waited to “dabble” until he left her.
Glenn – They certainly brought out the gold digger in her.
Doghouse – You didn’t miss much.
MeToo – Count me out. She’s kind of attractive on the outside, but all bitch on the inside.
