Jon and Kate Plus 8 Official Thread - Part 6

I can't wait to see Jon's entire interview. I think in spite of Jon's recent behavior, he tells it like it is. The interview he gave in Utah revealed a lot about the family that I know Kate was probably pulling her hair out that he said. He really hasn't given a decent interview and it is his turn to tell his side of the story. I don't agree with his recent behavior but he should have a turn to tell what happened in his eyes.

I think you're right about this -- he may not tell the whole truth, but I rarely feel like Jon's answers are rehearsed or determined by the PR people. IMO, once he gets talking, just about anything could come out of his mouth. That's good and bad -- it's pretty easy to take one of his sentences out of context and make it something that it's not (obvious his PR people have yet to convince him of the value of "sound bites") But if he wasn't prone to blabbing so much, we wouldn't see so many retractions from him (when he inadvertently disses TLC or the show), and we'd never know how he really feels about anything.

The Utah interview intrigued me -- I really felt like we got a glimpse of the real Jon there (and as I've stated before, he may not have been the preppy Jon that some people liked -- he got a lot of criticism for wearing that hat :rotfl: -- but I don't have a problem with it) Now, was that after Kate left Utah or was that the reason she left Utah? And, according to the timeline that Jon gave, that would have been after he had been to counseling -- that adds another interesting dimension to the whole thing.

BTW, I wonder if he's still in counseling -- I think he needs a refresher course, since I'm sure the counselor could inform him about how his public behaviour is going to affect his kids. Maybe he did go in for a check-up, since the Vegas weekend (despite how the tabloids wanted to portray it) ended up being pretty harmless. Seems to me Jon would be more willing to listen to the advice of a counselor than any PR person, TLC or Kate.
 
I can't wait to see Jon's interview next week. I think he will reveal a lot more than Kate would ever dream of. He made it sound like she was doing all this traveling and eating out expensive dinners and he was home taking care of the kids. I bet those expensive dinners were shared with the bodyguard. There definately is more to this breakup and I hope he fills in the blanks!!!

Your post made me think about something else: I'm getting really tired of the cryptic statements that Kate and/or her PR people keep putting out ie.filing for divorce to "protect" her children, using video from the show to show that Kate deserves full custody of the kids, or saying she and Jon have a different perspective on when the marriage ended (when asked when they actually separated -- she actually didn't answer the question at all). There have been a lot more -- I'm fine with her refusing to answer a question, but IMO, she doesn't have to make such statements (all of which seem to portray Jon in as bad a light as possible)

Re the being home with the kids all of the time, I can easily see how Jon (or most men for that matter) might unknowingly exagerate something like this. He was used to going to work, it isn't the norm for the dad to stay home, and he rarely took trips on his own (although at that time, she was doing a lot of them). It could very well be that she was there half of the time but it just didn't seem like it to him. I know when DH is taking care of DD, he often says he "needs a break" after just 2 hours. :rotfl:
 
I agree with you about Kate and her statements knocking Jon. I know Jon likes to exagerate, but she was gone quite a bit for a mother who lives and breathes for her children. She must of been really raking in the money especially with all those free will offerings. Something must of occurred that Jon decided he no longer wanted to stay home and babysit and she felt the need to continue her speaking engagements. Maybe at the time Jon didn't have a few nannies around to help or do cleaning or laundry.
When J & K first started speaking, it was both of them. Like I said before, Jon can't control what comes out of his mouth. He would of revealed way too much information. Kate is like a robot, we must move forward, not back, I live and breathe for my kids, etc........Those speaking engagements would of been entirely different with him helping answer questions.

Kate made a statement early on that Jon was not happy traveling and doing the engagements together. So he decided to stay home with the kids. Based on his recent comments it sounds like he wasn't happy doing that either. It is not like Kate traveled for years, the book tour lasted a few months.
 
Some of this video should probably be taken with a grain of salt .. much of it looks like typical 5-year-old playing outside stuff that's been completely blown out of proportion by TMZ. The hitting of the dogs is another story, IMO .. it wouldn't take anything for one of the kids to hit one with a bat and find themselves being chased/bitten in return.

They need to be taught right now that you NEVER hit an animal, that it is not acceptable. They are old enough to understand that.

Does anyone know if Beth is still around for Kate?....Don't know if i've missed it in interviews...is she ever asked about Beth or Jodi and Kevin?

Kate sure has lost a lot of close people this past year?...I hope Beth is still around at least:confused3

It must hurt her soo much that she has lost the relationship with her brother AND her husband..Thats a LOT for anyone to take.


Give Kate her due...she is one STRONG woman....I would have cracked long ago.

I wonder if that is there normal play. She did say at the end of this week's show , "that no animals were hurt in THIS episode of J&K plus 8".

not that I've seen. those names never come up in the interviews.

One of her closest friends did a tabloid interview last month. So there's at least one friend in her life. Beth is never mentioned. Ever.

does that make it ok?

admittedly, I know nothing about German Shepherds... so I have no idea what they're used to, as far as playful hitting from children.

I would love to know what happened there?...Iam surprised the tabloids or chat shows never mention it....I mean her family are NEVER mentioned..we still don't know if she even has a relationship with her parents?...You'd think the tabloids would have tried to dig this up.:confused3


Iam bored of Jons latest exploits now...I wanna read about what happened with Kates family situation..:rolleyes1

I know! He is complaining about something he agreed to do! UG! I think he just did not like her getting the attention while he was at home.

there are a lot of missing pieces to the puzzle ... the family (on both sides), and where Kate goes when she's not in the home both come to mind, and are things that the tabloid media has surely tried to find out, especially with all the other information that's been out there.

No! I don't agree with it at all. But when I heard her say that on the episode I thought her wording was weird. If this is their "normal" activity it would make sense why she didn't say no animals have been hurt in the making of J&K, or something along those lines instead of just that episode. Know what I mean?
 
I wonder who does take care of those dogs. I thought it was Jon because in the episode when they were having the picnic and Kate demanded that the dogs go in their crates, Jon crated them. All that land and 2 dogs had to go in a crate so they could put a blanket on the grass. Did they not do any training with the dogs so they could eat in front of them??
Lots of missing pieces to this puzzle.

She was joking. On just about any non-reality show or movie with animals there is a disclaimer somewhere that no animals were hurt during the filming.

I agree about the video. I think they just wanted to intersperse it with clips of Jon dancing in Las Vegas! ;)
I am probably the only person in America who wan't happy that the family got the dogs. Please no one kill me. :) It is just that through my job I have seen too many dog bite lawsuits with severe injujries, and most were not from vicious dogs, but from loving family pets who felt threatened by a child's unsupervised actions, or it occurred in a chaotic situation and the dog was just instinctively reacting. With that many young kids running around, I just feel like there is a high potential for those kind of situations. Also with everything else going on do you think that J & K got the proper training which seems to be necessary. I see another poster said they should be able to have the dogs around while eating, but they need to crate the dogs.
I sincerely hope nothing happens and it is nice to see how the kids love their dogs! :)
