Jon and Kate Plus 8, Official Thread-Part 4

[Starbrite]

Organic Fruit, Organic Milk, Organic Juice, Organic Applesauce..... Yeah, we get the point!

I'm sorry. I know there is all kinds of serious stuff going on. But why in the world do they have bibs on 5 year olds in a restaurant????

People keep saying it's so sad, there are hopes they can work things out and get back together... I think it's good they're divorcing. They are dysfunctional as a couple and their kids are seeing that every day. If they can be happy apart, that is a much healthier thing for their kids to see.

As the child of divorced parents, I look back and am so very glad and grateful my parents split up.

Kate seems a lot more contemplative and sad. Jon seems, I don't know...almost apathetic. I never liked Kate, but I think we are seeing the real side of her. I feel badly for all of them.

Jon is a selfish idiot...he said he's excited about this new chapter in his life. Now TLC just flashed the announcement that J&K have filed for dissolution of their marriage...

Are you kidding? That was the most telling thing he said. What I heard was RELIEF to be free from the noose and oppression she is around his neck, the domination, the criticisms, the fighting, etc. He gets to have his identity & self back again.

 

[crazee4mickey]

All I can say is....
"The show must go on"
What kind of idiotic statement that is--way to go Kate, when your kids get older they'll love hearing that.

I am so sad to her that they have filed for divorced, thought I am not surprised.

Kate had a breast lift when they did her tummy tuck, but I haven't noticed anything different recently

Maybe he is excited about finding himself some happiness.

I agree. If he was a women that was smacked (love tapped) by her husband and then filmed when she said a million times over that they wanted it to stop, or was constantly undermined and ridiculed by her dh we would be calling abuse. Maybe he is tired of the stress of it all and just wants some happiness in life and to enjoy his kids and his own life.

Kate is soo mellow I wonder if she it now on some medication she was never liek this before.......I wonder if the kids know about the divorce now!!!!!!!!!

 

[1stluvispooh]

I really can't take her. She does not have those kids interests at heart. I would think that she would be devastated and the last thing on her mind would be filming. Silly me. I thought that just maybe for once she would put her children first. What was I thinking?


BTW- Am I the only one here who thinks she really does have something going on with the bodyguard?

Heck NO

 

[kritter]

What happened to Hawaii when she kept saying we will be together forever!!!!!

 

[joviroxx]

It's called a contract. I'm sure they BOTH signed one. Not like they can just opt out and call off the show.

.

I don't know, at this point, I would risk getting sued for the sake of my kids. I dont know what kind of contract it is or what kind of repercussions would exist but I would think if they couldnt get out, at least TLC would figure something out for those kids.

 

[starstruck93]

He's excited....***!! I can't believe he just said that!

Yeah, seriously, I really think he's happy to get away from Kate and the kids.... he's free to do what he wants with whomever he wants. He never really looked like he was having a good time in any of the episodes IMO. Honestly, I have 1 child and I have days when I want to get away too! However, my husband is the best and very supportive. I do not think Kate was that way with Jon. I also thnk Jon is a tad childish and just does not want the responsiblity anymore. It will be easy for them... Jon will do what he likes and it's rumored that Kate has 50 "helpers" as she calls them. She will not be totally on her own.... once again, it's the kids who will bear most of the burden of the split.

 

[1stluvispooh]

Does anyone else think it is sad that the big girls have to dress just like the little girls? Let them have their own identity please!!

And bibs on the 5 year old - shouldn't they be past that by now?

Yes and Yes

Are you kidding? That was the most telling thing he said. What I heard was RELIEF to be free from the noose and oppression she put around his neck, the domination, the criticisms, the fighting, etc.

What I heard was that he's excited to hook up with the barely legals without people saying "YOU'RE A MARRIED MAN."

[/B]

Heck NO

Thank you. I was beginning to hear crickets!

 

[madge]

I can't believe she said that they are still doing this "for the kids"....to document their lives, etc. Yes Kate, I'm sure they will be so thankful that you have all of this madness documented for them to enjoy when they are adults. Nice job. Good decision.

While I'm surprised that it came to a divorce .. I'm NOT surprised that the show is going on. Because that's what is important to Kate. That's been clear for months, now.

And at the end of their time in the spotlight, what will they have left their children? Financial security? Happiness? Love? Yes. But that's only part of it. All of this has played out in the public eye. That, to me, is the saddest part of all.

I'm glad I didn't watch. And I'm officially done. I'll not be around for thread #5.

agreed...

 

[kidshop]

Well, they just showed a screen stating that they filed for divorce today. I'm depressed.

I can't catch up with you guys, but do you think whoever filed today wasn't supposed to? It seems not to mesh with the show tonight as I'm reading.

You said it much better than I.
