I have been watching the show for the last two years and watched the original specials when they reaired. I loved the interaction between the parents (very realistic, in my opinion); and the parents interaction with their children.
As a fan of both parents, I saw the weakness in one parent balanced by the strenghts of the other.
What's happening now, however, is appalling. If what the media are reporting is true, I have lost all compassion for Jon in this divorce. There are compelling arguments on both sides about the cause of the divorce. But his actions in recent weeks are at best, embarressing, at worst, deplorable.
On this forum, I've seen a distinct shift towards the pro-Jon camp. I know I'll get a lot of flack, but I feel compelled to point out the rationalizing going on in the Jon camp. No matter what stickey situation he is (reportedley) in, they find an excuse.
If Kate was photographed at bars, with other men, hosting Vegas parties, saying she "despised" Jon...you would rightfully be vilifying her as an "unfit" parent.
But, in fact, the opposite is true. And now media sources are reporting Jon emptyed the "family" account. If this proves to be true, will any of you change your views?
Or does the "Hate Kate" mantra trump all reality?
