Kate Gosselin Gave Jon $5 Daily Allowance

Kate Gosselin Gave Jon $5 Daily Allowance

For the FIFTH week in a row, Jon & Kate Plus 8 mom Kate Gosselin takes the cover of Us Weekly (See: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4).

“[Kate] used to give [husband Jon] only $5 to spend, and if he was out and needed more money, she would give him hell,” says his former employer at Style Craft Corp, David Rothermel. “She came in raising hell [one day in the office] because Jon’s father was supposed to bring her lunch and he was late. She got up out of bed rest to come in and yell at anyone who would listen!”

The mag claims the Gosselins later publicly concocted a story that Jon was fired because the company didn’t want to insure the sextuplets.

Almost 10 million people tuned in on Monday to watch the season premiere of J&K+8. Will you be tuning in next week??

this family is so fubar @ 05/27/2009 at 8:56 am

So, explain Jon’s new wheels, hair plugs; Kate’s botox, bigger tah-tahs, tummy tuck, lipo and teeth whitening for both. Are these to benefit their children too? People, wake up - these kids are putting $$ in these peep’s pockets.

oh please .. US weekly is full of BS !! You cannot judge these people by what you see on TV .. I hate that the media is making this into a major thing, they’re not celebrities .. I’m so sick of all the Jon and Kate talk, the fact that E! has a special on them annoys me .. I love the show and will continue to watch it, I don’t care what people say because the media does not know the truth and I just watch the show for entertainment ..

Emily, you are so right. It is all staged but Kate is a real ***** and all that happened. The only thing staged is all this publicity.

As far as I am concerned, they should both be in a real prison for child abuse and impersonating Christians.

I really have to laugh at the obviously lowly white trash women on here who continually defend this pig and her litter. Keep typing away you fowl cackling hens. Are you ugly fat asses getting paid by the word? and a little suggestion…. NO BODY IS READING your run-on drivel …….the eyes skip right over and keep going…….till they reach a comment ……..by a real human being………..who doesn’t like to waste others time……………and gets to the point….and has their facts straight…….and doesn’t give long winded, all ready hashed -out, over and over again, opinions.

only uneducated white trash watch this crap

us weekly must really like and need that money they getting in. go ahead us. whatever keeps your rag afloat eh? lol. since when did no bodies bump brad and angelina to a crop in on the side of this magazine. what a bunch of __________.

also the only victims who don’t have a say in this are the kids. w/e. tlc is laughing all the way to the bank, and so are the tabloids. i think this will go on for a long time unless someone comes up with a better story to dethrone these guys from page one. even people that have never seen their show or watched tlc one day in their life are now being forced to know who these guys are because there’s so much coverage it’s hard to escape it. maybe my prayers will be heard and these non-celebrities can go along their way and maybe let real celebrities back into the fold again. lol. and maybe the economy will not suck hard (Not).

people need to leave them alone……. atleast their children will be upstanding contributors to society and not welfare sucking deliquents like the octomoms kids.

i don’t claim to be a pure person…but that is exactly what is wrong with society nowadays. really. since when did reality tv actually start beating real tv programming, or even since when did reality tv stars become such huge celebrities that eclipse actual considered celebrities. do we really need kathy griffen to define to us who can and cannot be a celebritiy. does having a tv show…lol. even a tv show on tlc where you make more money than the average person and because you’ve sold your soul and probably signed a syndication deal and a deal to have your show broadcasted worldwide, thereby make you a celebrity. ala susan boyle…susan boyle is now a celebrity? really? like she has a career? or even wait…some people can remember a time before google and youtube…does being a viral sensation make you a celebrity. gah.

Of course she only gave him $5.00 she needed to save money for her new boobies. Tonight on Jon and Kate Plus 8: Kates gets on the Pole. I guess TLC is not paying them enough.

Jon and kate + 8 + "friends" @ 05/27/2009 at 12:06 pm

Of course I watch this effin show.
I am on it for fu&ck’s sake!
Oh by the way - Fu^ck you Aunt Jodi and Julie - the peeps love my hair and the show. Thanks 4 talking sh*it!

In all fairness @ 05/27/2009 at 12:31 pm

Dfense of te’s behavior w/ Jon b’cz he’s a passive aggressive closet a*hole os acceptable, but what about the other people she has managed to drum out of their lives, who were once prominently featured in seasons past?

If the roles were reversed, we’d claim he was being mentally and emotionally abusive.

How about? @ 05/27/2009 at 12:39 pm

They DO NOT have to pay for their childrens’ college expenses- After the tups were born, they received all-paid college expenses for ALL 8 kids from one of their local Pennsylvania Universities. That, among all the other “FREE” stuff they have accumulated is SICKENING. How about FREE college for the children of all the hard-working AMERICANS who have LOST their jobs in this recession or for the children of our military, etc. you know ppl. who are ACTUALLY making a DIFFERENCE in our world! Unlike some very greed-inspired, selfish nut-case like KG!

In all fairness @ 05/27/2009 at 12:44 pm

If she is so “put upon” b’cz of Jon’s lack of interest/initiative/ability, and he’s so “put out” b’cz she’s never there (or wishes she wasn’t when she is there) then why turn around and add 2 dogs, no, PUPPIES into the mix?
That’s just 2 more innocent bystander souls to have passive-aggressive mental/emotional battles over, right?

It looks like she got labeled as the bad guy in this situation. The media always picks on when a relationship falls apart and it looks like in this relationship it is Kate. I will say she can be rather tough on her husband, but man he would just stand there are watch the kids spill juice or make a huge mess. It looks like he had checked out a long time ago and I’m sure that was hard for her and did not bring out the best in her or him for that matter. It seems like most people know what $5 dollars a day is a bunch of BS, I mean really Us Weekly do you really think we are all that stupid. I hope that these people get left alone for the sake of their kids, the possibility of a reconciliation, or a divorce that is not made more difficult by the media. That is what I hope but that is just me. I know a lot of people like watching a car accident happen and thankfully (for those people) TLC has brought/created on for them to watch.

Are Americans lives so boring and non-creative (9.8 million), they would watch and support a show where a dysfunctional couple (parents) are placing the long-term psychological wellbeing of their far-too-large litter of humans at risk for millions of dollars? The mother is a narcissist and, yes, I have compassion for the father, too, though he is totally complicit in the long-term potential injury of these children for the almighty dollar. Ms. Gloria Allred needs to use her influence by ensuring laws are passed throughout the country wherein “no child” is ever portrayed on these reality television shows by their own parents and/or others no matter how protective or large the future trust. If they don’t grow-up to be heathy and contributing adults themselves for the betterment of American society, then all the money in the world will not help.

Leave them both alone. This is such crap. He suposedly cheated on her and its her fault, she drove him to it. Yah, right. Leave them both alone. I don’t believe she is the monster the magazine is making her out to be in order to sell magazines.

Leave them both alone to work this out and DON’T BUY THE STUPID MAGAZINES to suport this crap.

I hope this season ends with her in a car crash; right through the window and on to the hood. Then Jon will be free to enjoy life again.

I read all of this more than a year ago, before they were in the spotlight. It is true and backed up by several sources. His former boss kept his mouth shut for a while till he could no longer take her lies about him and his Co. He did Jon a favor by hiring him. $5 /day ? true, several sources. Google it.
Why doesn’t she talk to her father? he gave her donated second-hand mismatched baby furniture and she FREAKED. Her own sister said this.
She is what they say she is and much worse.

Kate's friend @ 05/27/2009 at 2:11 pm

Poster’s 12 and 13 and 26. I have known Jon and Kate a long time. You all are right. They would never have the camera’s ” go away ” because that would mean the end of a lucrative contract that they have taken time to write and bicker over.
Kate is all about ” Kate. ” Always has been, ever since the show has been on the air. Jon was fired, because he never did any work. He thought it was more important to stay online to see what they could buy, and what major companies he could suck-up to, to get all the free merchandise for his children. AND, for he and Kate. He just lost interest in his job and could not concentrate.
The cribs her Father had obtained for them from his church and newborn clothes were beautiful, but she threw the biggest screaming tantrum you ever heard. Just because the cribs did not match and were not ” the latest “, and the clothes ” were not identical ” she ditched them. Actually, I would have thought it would have been easier in THOSE cribs. You could have identified the children easier, plus, they are not in cribs forever. What a waste of money, that she could have used for something else.
Now that they have everything or think they do, they have lost each other in the process. They don’t even know their own children anymore. So much time was spent acquiring celebrities to ” teach them things on the show, ” and traveling, and wasting energy on her constant cleaning and O.C.D., ( obcessive complusive disorder ), and screaming at the little ones. She is always angry or scowling at someone or something. Kate is NOT a pleasant person to be near. Her book signings are extremely MISLEADING WITH HER FAKE SMILES. Kate smiles when she NEEDS to smile. When it benefits HER.
Her sister-in-law is right !!!!!! Quit watching and feeding their pockets with $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
You are only doing the children a severe disservice, because this is the ONLY thing Kate and Jon want out of all of this. The fame and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. They have become addicted to it. And have lost their family and friends because of it. If something drastic doesn’t happen soon, the children will be next. They will start acting out, then mimic their parents. Monkey see, monkey do, as they say. How tragic for all of them.

why is my comment awaiting moderation. again. i’m not even cursing.

anyways what i said was it’s interesting how quick we all are to blame the woman and not the man. and i also said that he who shall not be named on his site called this story a big fake also.

Geez, what is the attraction? I’d rather watch paint dry.

Kate Gosselin @ 05/27/2009 at 3:19 pm

That little weasel is lucky I gave him 25 cents a day and a few crackers.
Yeah, Jon is pissed because on $5 a day, he can’t buy him the secret sauce and prosti^tutes when he goes to the bar at 2am to meet “friends”. If you save it up - you can, Jon. That’s how he got Deanna. Use the coupons I gave you for the ti&tty bar!!!
Don’t forget to watch next week people!!!

Kate Gosselin @ 05/27/2009 at 3:24 pm

Oh I forgot, Fuc^K you Aunt Jodi and Aunt Julie!!!!!

Jon’s father died years ago when the sextuplets were only months old so this story is obviously BS.
