but what about the fact she is estranged from her entire family? I know, I know only hear say even though NO one is defending her. And I wish someone would, this can't possibly be all true about one family.
-----------------------------------


Scott Peterson got more public support from his family than Jon & Kate have.. If none of this is true, I can't believe that there isn't one family member - one close friend - their pastor - someone - anyone - who wouldn't feel the need to come forward and defend them.. If Kate were my daughter - or Jon was my son - and people were spreading these kinds of lies about them, I would be all over it in a heartbeat!!!

I can't believe that no one has made an effort to defend them - with the exception of total strangers - and of course TLC - to keep the show on the air.. Sadly, I think that speaks volumes.. :(
 
People pays they all do, they need to sell magazines to get the money from the advertisers. It is a bidding war for baby pictures sold by celebrities themselves to exclusive interviews. It is all about money, makes the world go round.
I know they pay for pics. I'm not sure about about interviews.
 
I believe that Kate became estranged from her parents when the parents church collected all kinds of stuff for the tups, but Kate refused much of it b/c it didn't match or wasn't new etc. She would only take specific things she asked for or money. I think her parents were embarrassed and it caused a rift. (she cut them out)

I know they bought the old house b/c it was right down the street from Jodi and Kevin. I believe what Jodi says happened, did happen.

The Star interview is unsettling, but maybe this is their way to shove it to Kate and show her they CAN make money off of her! Really, though, I do think Jon is in on it, but I don't think it was done in the best interest of the kids.

Once again most adults don't want there families coming to there aid, I know I wouldn't I know most adults wouldn't want there mommies and daddies comong to there aid.

Can you name any celebrites when rumor are flying that there families come to there defense. Look at the bachlor when all this was going on with Melissa and Jason her parents weren't out defending her honor. They still care for her

C.Ann, yes!! And if Kate had one who would defend her don't you think she would be on the phone telling them to get out there and scream from the tallest building. Look at Casey Anthony another example, her step dad and mom are telling their side any where they can. Not that I buy it.
 
The family could be embarassed or just dont want in the spotlight like Kate. Not everyone wants to be on TV.

Dina lohan is one that pops to mind, she did a job on Lindsay.
 
Now that they are labeling them part one and part two, I think it will go on and on. What I really find interesting is, they said Jon came to them six months ago. They also said they haven't talked to them in over a year. Which is it? I see that they also feel (in the newset video) that Kate says she does it all, the cooking, cleaning, etc, but Jodi admits it's not possible. So now Kate is bad because she has help. They also say that Kate will not get conseling. How do they know this, if they don't talk. And of course they think Kate is the one hurting the children if she gets a divorce. Yes, it's much better that they stay together and fight in front of the kids. And of course Jon would have had nothing to do with why there would be a divorce.:

Kate Gosselin, the highfalutin matriarch of TLC's hit show Jon and Kate Plus 8, shows more interest in her fame as a TV personality, speaker and author than she does as a mother, her brother and sister-in-law said in an explosive new interview exclusively on RadarOnline.com.

Kevin Krieder, the 32-year-old brother of the reality TV mom, said that his sister has a selfish agenda focused more on boosting her career than her family. He said that the show's depiction of Kate as a do-it-all mother who cooks and cleans is "all for the cameras," and the reality TV couple's claim that they are raising their family all by themselves is a "snow job."

Jodi, who was also prominently featured in early episodes of the show, said it takes the work of many to take care of the children, and Kate is too busy to pitch in unless the red light is on.

Watch part one of our exclusive interview with Kevin and Jodi

"Kate is very good at designating jobs," her sister-in-law, Jodi Krieder said. "As the years have gone on, Kate has become the designator to the people that have those jobs going on."

The Krieders said they have not talked to the Gosselins in more than a year.

The fallout, according to Kevin, came over money. He said that members of the production crew told them that TLC was planning on compensating the Krieders, a fact which drove Kate ballistic and led to the family rift. They said that Kate is obsessive over control.

"It's a very sad situation," Jodi said. "This is going to affect these children terribly, if she goes for a divorce. I think right now Kate is very lost and very blinded by her actions and what she is doing -- [she] is not being a mother that is nurturing and hands on."
 
People magazine article scans here

Oh my gosh Madge! Those pictures are ridiculous. Love the one of Kate in her sweet dress sitting serenely on the floor looking demure for the camera. Makes me feel :sick:

Love the title of whole article too..."I have a lot of anger". Shocker. Maybe they should used this title instead "I choose happiness." I'll be reading that for sure tomorrow. I'm guessing my Target will be sold out!
 
I'm sorry that you had to go through that as a child. I cannot even imagine.

Here is a link to the People article.

http://gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/2009/05/kate-interviewed-for-people.html

Thank you for the kind words and the link. I hadn't seen that article yet. Three things stuck out to me:
1 - they will not interview together - Didn't madge say this awhile back that it looked like they taped the interviews on the couch seperately and put them together for the show??? (I think I remember that maybe on the previous thread???)

2 - Kate "always made more $ than him" - does the world need to know that? If it's not important to you (like she said in the article), keep it to yourself...

3 - Kate "needs to go on" - I understand she's concerned about how she's going to make things work if she and Jon split. I think (just my opinion!) that there must not be enough money there if Kate thinks she needs to keep working - depending on the type of lifestyle she has in her mind (their current or a "normal" one).

And Jon buying the car without her knowing? That's not good at all...wonder if the friend who was "into cars" helped him pick it out??? :sad2:

:hug::flower3: :goodvibes I completely understand how you feel, reading your words was like deja vue. Same thing happened to me (I was 10 and my sister only 6) and to say that it doesn't affect kids, is garbage. I still deal with things from that whole mess with my parents divorce and that's why my heart breaks for the Gosselin kids. They just deserve better, you know? :thumbsup2

I'm so sorry you had to go through that - it's not fun (at least my childhood!). :grouphug: I hope they're doing well and spending lots of time with their friends doing regular "kid" things.

I know they pay for pics. I'm not sure about about interviews.

Well there were many pictures in the People article (linked above) so maybe they paid her for the two pictures in place of her "story".....I don't know I'm just saying no one knows right now and it's an option.
 
Oh yah Aunt Jodi and Uncle Kevin are really great people they sold there story for money. I don't know Kate or Jon family maybe they are private people and don't want to get involved in the media spotlight. You only see what TLC wants you to see of Kate and Jon It's all about editing as in all reality shows. All I know is I enjoy the show and the kids. I wish them all the best.

Kate is a grown woman I don't think she needs any one to stick up or defend her. As a grown adult woman I don't need anyone to defend me. Do you?

Not at the moment thank goodness, but if I did, I know they'd be there tooth and nail. And if it were my kids...it'd get ugly.
 
LOL I'm blind I couldn't read the people article LOL

I had to squint really hard just read the first few lines. That it is./was mother's day weekend and Kate sits in a Manhattan hotel suite. I see Lifetime movie all over this.

Melissa's friends made several comments about standing by her when that was going on. It was widely known during the taping of the show that her parents didn't like the spotlight.
