OlderKate Gosselin: Mom To Monster?
For the fourth week in a row, Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Kate Gosselin takes the cover of Us Weekly (See: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3). Here’s what the mag is reporting of the mother-of-eight:
– Fired one woman on the spot for washing her hands in the kitchen instead of the bathroom. “Kate flipped,” says baby nurse Angela Krall. “She thought it was cross-contamination.”
– Fired 40 nurses and nurse’s aides in the three months before Krall was hired. (She was first paid by Medicaid when Jon was unemployed since Medicaid provides limited assistance to premature babies.) “Kate said she feels society has a responsibility to help with the children, since modern medicine promotes the use of fertility drugs, which can lead to multiple births,” the AP reported.
– Her perfectionism tore her apart from her father, Kenton Kreider, a pastor, after he gave her cribs donated by his parishioners. “They didn’t match and Kate rejected them,” says a family source. “Things like that caused a rift.”
– Spent 21 out of the last 30 days on the road at paid speaking engagements

JJ posts about his new gf again.
Don’t get serious about her JJ - you don’t wanna support all those kids.
Next…back to Cannes and the real stars please.
I can’t explain it, but I am fascinated by this story. Pathetic, I know:)
I do not watch this show I have nothing in common with these people. I do think it is disgusting that people breeding has become an income producing profession. “Don’t breed or buy while shelter animals die,” 100% true in this in the case of pets go to the shelter to get your furry frineds. How about “Until there are none adopt one” again with regarrd to our furry friends. I guess we will now have to make bumper stickers to remind women to do the same with their uterus. Bring a foster child into your home stop over populating.
Sounds fishy to me. If she were truly a perfectionist she wouldn’t have her kids sleeping on mattresses on the floor. I, personally, see nothing wrong with mattresses on the floor but a PERFECTIONIST would!
I think she’s a complete trainwreck. I can’t stand her. Talk about a sense of entitlement.
take good care of your children and leave the cameras behind
anyone who watches this show already knows that.
She has allienated all her family members, and jon’s too. It’s been said that she wont let jon see any of his family. If you watch the show, and Jon gets emotional over his dad, she just rolls her eyes.
This woman is a self professed control freak. I can’t WAIT to see her fall…even her kids will hate her someday.
I feel truly sorry for John, I watch the show and she is very degrading to his manhood. The older kids get more respect than he does.
She resembled octomom before she had the makeover.
I do believe she has allowed her head to grow too big and she only sees and thinks she deserves all she gets. She used to call the handouts a blessing, now she thinks she deserves them. God will deal with her heart. If she is still seeking after Him.
I do feel bad for Jon and the kids. He seems to be the single parent here while she is off signing book deals and defending herself. My mother always told me, “You can tell someone that is trying to hide something by how much they defend themselves.” Bingo
She is out of control and needs to come back to reality.
I am praying for them.
she’s a complete a$$hole! I can’t believe she turned down cribs because they didn’t match! B*tch you should be greatful for the handouts! Don’t be choosy when you need help! But now she’s so loaded with money because she exploited her kids! Nice lady huh! complete trainwreck who only loves her money!
Look at her before pic! She’s an ugly wan*ker!
Did anyone see the episode where kate got a free tummy tuck from a high profile surgeon? She even stayed at the doctors house for recovery! She’s so spoiled and demands everything for free! She’s lived off society and now makes 75,000 dollars an episode! Kate, how about paying back Medicaid,hospitals,surgeons, charities for everything they did for you! Does anyone agree with me!
Can’t everyone just leave this family alone? Think of what it will be like for the kids once they are old enough to understand what is going in. So what if they have problems? Every family does. It just proves that no one is perfect. Let them be.
Shame on anyone that continues to give handouts to her. They don’t need anymore of anything. They have a house that cost over 1 million dollars for goodness sake.
Plenty of starving kids in America that could use some of those handouts.
g!ina….I agree! They should give back. Let’s look at the tax returns and see how much giving back they do now that they are rolling in it.
Please, those kids will grow up just like Kate. Spoiled!
I would love to have that Maddie in my house for a week. She is just like Kate. She needs her bumm spanked. Mean little girl!
@ara: We will “let them be” when they get off our TV and stop giving interviews. If they stop filming their kids most personal moments, they will stop being criticized. I don’t give a crap what these parents do with each other or whomever but I care that these kids are being ignored and dismissed.
Their children will find out how ruthless, degrading and mean their mother was to their father. Their whole life is documented. He will win in the end and should.
I USED to be a fan of the show and even though Kate was kinda weird even in the earlier episodes, I tolerated her behavior. I thought she was a bit too much but hey, any good mother is protective in their own kind of way and want the best for their kids. I know it’s foolish to believe everything you read but for some reason, all these reports of Kate Gosselin don’t get me surprised at all. I’m actually quite shock it took this long for people to get what kind of a nut job she is.
There are many that have read the “people” magazine article and have come to the conclusion that she is “self centered” and I’m starting to believe that is true. That article stressed how it was ALL jon’s fault and how she’s this innocent person trying to be a mother. Like I said in previous post, a REAL mother who sincerely cares for his kids (esp. when they’re young) can’t STAND to be away for their kids that long as much as kate has. I’m sure she loves her kids but she loves money, power, and celebtrity status even more. I don’t wish anything bad upon anyone but I hope this is just karma getting back at kate: YOU’RE the one making bad choices, not your husband.
peace everyone!
God please just let these people go away. They have no talent. They are selling their kids for not only money, but fame. And they are not likeable folks. Why the fascination with these no talent pimps.
Well, she gets the money and he gets the girls. Its win-win!
These children have a rough future ahead. Two parents who seem to be self absorbed. Her money grabbing and him just stupid.
I guess this takes the heat off of Octo.
not that i condone her behavior but she’s said that she grew up poor…so i can KIND OF understand her greed
If she wanted to save her marriage she would cancel the show like her husband wants. But his needs come second to hers….control freak that he is. He and Mady are acting out. She has a god complex, this ho. She needs a twelve step program………..she’s so white bread. Dresses like a ho too. Jon likely has no idea who she is, this is not what he signed up for.
I’ve watched the show and the premise of the show is now been revealed as a fraud. Once you know the truth, it becomes a different show. It has lost its charm for me.
sidenote: I can’t look at Angelina without seeing Octomom.
Do people really watch that show? Wow, I get frustrated watching them, so many kids, so much! Poor woman, she’s overwhelmed by everything, 8 kids, that’s like being in a kinder garden 24/7 without being able to let them go. She should take advantage of everything while she can, don’t blame her, blame the media, they are the one giving them attention and she is enjoying everything, why not? At leaste having all those kids is paying off.
BTW, I heard that 260 babies are born daily, wow, insane!
cancel it tlc. like yesterday.
What’s that sound? What’s that sound? Oh it’s just the sound of Katie Irene Gosselin’s master plan of having sextuplets, getting as much fame, free stuff and publicity because of it ALL UNRAVELING before her eyes. She has an open marriage with Jon, secretly, but when Jon got caught cheating and she tried to play the hurt wife, somehow it’s all backfired on her and her behind the scene evil ways. Sad but it’s about time! I’m glad US is exposing all this. I just hope all the other people she’s screwed in her life come forward as well. I hope they get an interview with her parents. It’s all about the kids right Kate? Well if that was the case you’d have them off the TV long ago and make your own living supporting your family (you and Jon both) instead of riding on your kids backs. You’re SICK! Shame on you!
I am a stay at home Mom, while my husband works and travels a lot for his work. I truly believe they are attacking Kate because she is a woman. Gone 21 out of 30 days? But, Dad is home taking care of kids. Well, gee, do you know how many Moms do that? A LOT!! If Jon was gone, it would be fine. She is working now while she can make the money for 8 CHILDREN!!!! And to say she is “fake” because she didn’t do laundry today or make breakfast for 10 is stupid. She has taken care of eight children for years. She is hardly a fake.
And to attack her on her appearance. PLEASE!! What Mom after having kids doesn’t change her look. People, she was pregnant with six kids, of course she wants to upgrade her look. If you look at the pictures of Kate when she first got married, you will see that the way she looked right after the kids were born was not her “normal” look. She used to have long blond hair. This look now is actually closer to her “normal” look.
People need to grou the hell up, This is like a witch hunt. Only it is being run by ugly, jealous women!!
@edna: She’s away from home most the time and has many helpers. If she is “stressed,” it’s her own fault for overreacting to every little thing. She is a poor excuse for a mother.
@Susan: When does she take care of her kids?
@edna:
This is my kids’ favorite show. When the new season begins, they will no longer be allowed to watch it. I didn’t mind them watching it before because you didn’t have to worry about language, nudity, etc. Well, now their real life comes out and it pretty much involves everything I don’t want my kids to watch on TV. This show will no longer be on the TVs in my home.
she probably spends more time on the road than with her kids at home
she needs to loosen up a bit and should not have said it’s society’s responsibility…cause it’s not
It amazes me that Jon is the cheater and the reason this family is in the trash tabloids, but Kate is the one being attacked. Typical. Women attacking women, but not the man. I have watched this show for years and Kate has always worked hard taking care of those kids. No she isn’t perfect, but i haven’t seen any photos of her leaving a mans house that isn’t her husband or has anybody seen her out in the clubs at 2am? No. She has a book out and actually Jon has supposed to be out on the book tour with him, but he is hiding at home instead because he doesn’t want to answer any questions. She is making money to support this big family. Jon does nothing except cheat with other women. Kate is being attacked for being a strong woman. If she were a man, she would be called strong. She had 6 babies at one time. I’d like to see you haters take care of that many babies at one time and stay sane and in control at the same time!!
She’s making the octomom look like a saint LOL
I can’t really stand Kate ever since I heard she didn’t want Aunt Jody on the show anymore bc TLC was going to pay her for her appearances. Kate is money hungry and she’s tryin to make a profit off of her children - which is sad. I wish those 8 little beauties all the best. Cause they’ll need it with a mom like this!
Now I know why the master bedroom was the only room in the Gosselin home that the cameras were not allowed in for filming. My children said that when the kids were given a tour of the mansion, Kate told them that this was the first and last time they would be allowed in the master bedroom. I asked them if they meant the camera crew, and they said - no, the kids! Even my kids thought this was very strange. Could it be because John doesn’t sleep in the same room with Kate?
it was my realization over the gum epidsode that broke the show for me… the issue was that if one of the kids ruined his shirt with gum, it actually ruined 8 outfits because she insists that the kids all be dressed to match all the time…
I cant wait to read the kids books in 20 years. or when some of them show up in Gay Pride marches and Kate has aplopexy over that.. or the first time one of the girls gets an unmatching nose ring.
Poor John… that child support for the second pregnancy he didnt want to have that turned into this fertility treatment nightmare is going to be really steep for a non-working IT guy… and when all the ‘jesus loves our perfect marriage’ speaking engagements dry up, Kate’s gonna need work too.
OMG who saw the episode where she flipped that Jon didnt use the coupons they had when he went on a shopping spree?? she flippppppppppped out and was like who goes shopping without coupons blah blah blah and almost had a heart attack. the way these tabloids are making her seem, WOULDNT be surprised at all!
TVSnark-
When does she take care of her kids? Your joking right? All the work that sahe is doing now is to provide for hwer children. They have EIGHT KIDS. SO Jon is right now the at home parent. So what? Did people criticize Jon when he worked full-time and Kate was at home? She is on a book and speakign tour. Those tours don’t last forever, but the money she is making will pay for the kids college. Nothing Kate does will ever please the people that attack her becaus eof jealousy. No man whould be facing the questions that she is.
Before this series, Kate worked every weekend as a nurse. That was OK because she was broke and working her @ss off, but now that she has money, it is wrong. That is so stupid.
Aunt Jodi is still pissed that she lives in a tny shi&thole near the old Gosselin place while Katie & her crew moved into a $1.8 million mansion.
Eff you Aunt Jodi - thanx for wiping everyone’s azz. We know your the best candidate for that job becuz you are full o’ shiat!!
You are also jealous of Kate’s looks because she works out, gets her hairs & nails did (not at Supercuts), spray tans, and dresses hot.
Aunt Jodi is so pissed. No one believes your lies Aunt J - J&K&8 will live on and makes more $$$$!! Suk on dat!
How about the show when they were Christmas shopping for toys for the kids to exchange amongst themselves? Kate was at one end of the check-out lanes, and Jon was at the other end. She yelled the entire length of the store and chewed him out in front of complete strangers. I was embarrassed for him!
I wrote so fast …. it should be “you’re joking” not “your joking”. Many errors…
Never watched the show, nor have I seen any clips of it. I have only seen interviews of these two. I have to say she seems to love the spotlight on her. Truly pathetic. . .AND KATE no one wants her stupid hairdo!
People need to get off this woman’s back, at least for a bit. Of course she’s obsessed with money… she has 8 kids under the age of 10! Anyone would be concerned about properly financing their futures.
Also…. for all the cheap talk of people saying that they “only care about the kids”…. having a sadistic obsession with their parents personal lives and trying to bring their mother down is NOT helpful at all.
People over at Gosselins Without Pity website and the Aunt Jodi’s of the world just add fuel to the flames. This is NOT your family so mind your own business and let them deal with their own affairs privately. But of course you won’t because you guys are obsessed and fascinated by this family.
she told people magazine that without a show she wouldn’t have a job. i don’t think come next season many old viewers will tune in. i certainly won’t. even if 99 out of 100 of the allegations are false, i view her a lot differently now. maybe she should go out in the world and GET a real job. and if she thinks “society owes her” then she shouldn’t have gotten pregnant a second time because “society is only made for a family of 4″.
Kate society doesn’t “owe” you anything.
She sounds like those Latinas who have 10 kids and than live on welfare.
They both work. Raising that many kid’s is a job right there.
@Susan: What am I jealous of? That she’s being attacked in the media? That her kids will be emotional messes? That her husband and extended family can’t stand her?
Yeah, I’m jealous.
Her newest book is a scrapbook and should be kept private. Picture of Hannah with her pants down and shirt pulled up is perfect for pedophiles. KATE DOES NOT WORK. She travels with her lover and stays at 5 star hotels. Is that a job? Keep drinking the kool-ade. She depends on fools like you to support HER responsibilities.
Damn, she was tubby
kate your gonna be a lonely old lady hope that money is worth it! you already have no friends or family you drove your husband away and your kids will follow soon enough…
I have absolutely no idea who this person is…..Looks like anyone can be famous these days.
@Jules: yeah, when this women turned her uterus into a clown-car she became famous. What a great accomplishment! Now, if she could only love those kids like they deserve.
OCTOBER GIRL< NUMBER # 53. I agree with you, on Kate being an old lonely lady, but I believe it has already begun. From what the papers have said, her friends and family have isolated her because of the paparazzi interfering in their lives at home and at work. She has ” begged them to hang in there with her ” until things quite down.
The children have started acting out, because they know that things are NOT normal at home, and people say things to them. They do what most kids do when faced with horrible and stressed out family issues; they act out. I don’t see this ending any time soon. Especially with Kate’s mentally ill, self absorbed, wanna-be celebrity, psycho mind. You can just see ” THERAPY ” and ” BI-POLAR ” written all over her.
Considering we are not even in the same room with her, by the time the idiot show has ended, I need a valium or shock therapy myself, to unwind. Obviously, this poor show will NEVER, EVER be back on my list of ” must shows to watch ” again. I have already found a substitute, as have my friends and their children. Unless Jon has a show of his own without Psycho-mom. He needs some brains and guts to rid himself of this terrible tumor on his back. Instead of a great Doctor, he needs a fantastic Attorney team to cut it/her out. Good luck Jon !!!! You can do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know why people are attacking her, she’s aiight.
everything that magazine’s are saying is a lie that picture were she look fat is when she was pregnant.i wach that show and she dont seem a control freak she has 8 kids and she is very patient.magazine’s are just saying that to sell .
besides jon cheat her with another women.i think only kate and jon know what is really going on and i think is not our bussines to judge anyone.
She is promoting her BOOK and next season of her show this month. That is why she has been away this month. Ratings with soar with all this publicity. She looks great and I do not allow washing of hands in my kitchen sink. I have 2 bathroom sinks for that.
@Susan: My Parents had 11 children! yes, i said 11children! My dad & mom both worked their butts off to provide for us! No state assistance ! They did it on their own! I’m so proud to be raise by two working parents! My dad is a principal of a high school and my mom is a registered nurse!
@Halli
What’s with the racism? I’ve seen people of ALL colors abuse the welfare system.
beggars cant be choosers kate. If your dad was nice enough to give you free cribs, you shouldn’t be upset about that.
God knows there are more people out there than you who needed them.
THEY NEED TO SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT THIS AND LEAVE KATE AND HER FAMILY ALONE ALL THIS FAKE **** IS STUPID NOW!!!!!!!!!!
@Susan: If you’re such a fan, you should already know this: the kids have college funds. The PA government has set it up for them. Stop using college funds as an excuse for Kate’s greediness. Find another excuse
US Weekly is just as bad as the Star and National Enquior. What a piece of lame crap. I don’t believe one word of it.
It’s terrible the mistakes of doctors leads to these media spectacles. If anyone’s considering fertility treatment, take one look at the Kate-mess and adopt!!
@ara:
“we dont have to. She put herself out there”
Kate blogs on TLC and there are NO negative comments from anyone…I think that is very interesting.
ugly *****
she’s remidning more and more of octomom
she just likes the attention
i honestly believe they will divorce now, i hope jon gets as far as possible from this *****
read her book before you judge her! these are all lies!
What is the profit of man to gain the whole world, and lose his soul?
Why the hell do people think this about her does anyone even have any evidence? And maybe she just accidently over scheduled her month! LEAVE THE GOSSELINS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those poor little kids for pete sake are messed up because of th damn rumors being spread. Hang in there Gosselins I am praying for you. (excuse my language)
@angel: I believe that episode they were buying presents for kids in a Nashville hospital, not for each other.
I do and have always found this show fascinating b/c it is different and somewhat the same as my life. I appreciate her organization & desire to feed her family healthy food. I don’t personally have 8 kids, but I do have 8 kids from families that are unable to care for them for whatever reason. I am a houseparent (foster parent). We are sponsered by private donors not gov. I can’t imagine if we had to find the money to care for them ourselves. Let us pray for them instead of criticising them. I hope Jon didn’t cheat but I do believe he made bad choices. Who of us has not done that. I hope that they do make the right choices as well for their family and it that means not doing the show, I would be sad but would think that would be wise. God tells us to put Him first, your spouse, then your kids, etc. I do understand in some cases this doesn’t work out and I do feel God understands that. I am just glad we are not called to be judge & jury, even though we take that upon ourselves as you read over and over in this. This will be my last comment on this sight. Judge not least you be judged. I am not saying I am perfect because I am far from it. Again, lets pray for them instead of criticising.
Kate the fake, who does everything for the good of her family……since when. Jon needs to forget about himself, and do whatever it takes to get those children out of her money grubbing hands. Imagine if he feels like he is in jail how they are going to feel to have their lives splashed across the world.
If Jon approaches this for the better good of his kids, he will do nothing but win.
Kate does not have a single family member who has anything to do with her, and it is not a small family. She nearly severed all ties for Jon, thankfully it’s not too late for him to take charge, and give the kids some cousins, Aunts, and Uncles, yes and even a grandmother.
Go JON
which son went to the emergency room?
@ara: THEY PUT THEIR SELF HERE
You know what? I’m sure you’ll ALL think I’m a total twat for saying this, but I wouldn’t take a donated crib either. Google “crib recall” and you’ll see why. I’m sorry, but unless the parishioners had kept ALL of the information about said crib (so that I would know if it had been recalled), there is NO WAY I’d put my INFANT in a crib that could kill or injure him. Hell, the first crib my husband and I bought for our son was recalled! I could honestly give two ***** about furniture “matching”, so my reasoning wouldn’t really be the same as Kate’s but whatever. Unless I knew the make/model number of the crib, no thanks!
So, Kate, how about you take a step back and look at how lucky you are, instead of all the “woe is me” crap you dish out on every episode? Why not take a look at the 11% unemployment in California alone? How about all of the people who lost their houses, and have nowhere to do their laundry? GROW UP. You are a spoiled, self-centered beast and you need a wake up call. Money has gone to your head and you need help. YOU are ruining your family. YOU are destroying yur marriage. The cameras would be fine alone, if you weren’t such a monster.
I feel for Jon and the kids, but every excuse you dish out on the show makes me hate you more. I can’t believe I wasted so much time watching this disaster.
Leave this family alone!
I follow your blog for quite a long time and should tell that your articles always prove to be of a high value and quality for readers.
Kate is a monster!!! She is always yelling at her kids and Jon!!! I don’t blame him for cheating on her… she isn’t the kind of person you want to be married to.
@g!na:
I agree with you. i HATE her
Maybe if we ignore them, they will go away.
All the fuss over this woman is ridiculous. Before her makeover she was an overweight, acne ridden, dowdy dressing everyday average female. Everyone is making a fuss over someone who has been altered from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. it’s totally insane. If it was not for all the work that has been done on her, she would not allow photographers to take pictures of her, much less in the different bikinis she has been shown in on the beach. Just another example of how the world glamourizes what they see as beauty. Whatever happen to just being yourself and accepting yourself for what and who you are. She’s a fake, bottom line. As for her husband and her, all of this nonsense probably would not be taking place if she still looked like she did before the makeup…. I mean who would care, she was nothing to look at then. People need to learn how to be comfortable in their “own” skin” . As for her and her husband, hopefully they can work it out. All the money in the world will not replace having two loving parents together to raise those eight kids. It’s hard enough with one or two, but since they chose to have those children then they should choose to stay together and raise those children in a loving and supportive home.
i love this family.
Shame on us for watching this indulgent, exploitive excuse for family entertainment. and shame on TLC for airing it.. At this point, most people could care less about those kids, and would much rather be nameless voyeurs who debate the merits and or flaws of their self-absorbed parents. I stopped watching when Kate became openly abusive toward Jon, and people now wonder why he is enjoying the attention of women who arent trying to dehumanize him — as if any of that has anything to do with his ability to be a loving parent. My heart goes out to those children. having to grow up in front of cameras as their parents continue this senseless psychological war in front of spectators who have blinded themselves to the consequences. Enough! We need to find something a lot more inspiring to watch, talk about, or even think about where those children are concerned.
