Yesterday the Gosselin Blogs were abuzz with the news that Jon Gosselin’s pal, Robert Hoffman, removed all posts from his blog regarding Kate Gosselin and her private information that he had stolen “found”and released in a poorly written E-Book. Some speculated that Kate Gosselin’s lawyers had successfully had these posts brought down while others taunted that Hoffman was just bringing things down so he could load up the “big guns” and release his new and improved crappy version.
Radar Online is reporting an exclusive today with information that Google has removed Hoffman’s blog post due to DMCA violations. ROL reports:
Now all of the material on his web site has been removed and Hoffman tells Radar, “…it would appear that the lawyers are at it again.”
He revealed he received this message at the top of his account page: “We have received a DMCA complaint for one or more of your blogs. Emails with the details were sent to you and all affected posts have been reset to “Draft” status (you may find them by selecting “Drafts” on the “Edit posts” page for each of the affected blogs). You may re-publish the posts with the offending content and/or link(s) removed. If you believe you have the rights to post this content, you can file a counter-claim with us.”
Hoffman says he never received any emails from Google or any other entity. The email directed him to Google’s policy on removing content.
Hoffman didn’t have direct passages from Kate Gosselin’s emails or diaries on his blog so the DMCA complaint could have come from the plethora of pap pictures that accompanied the posts. Could it be that the Paparazzi objected to the content because Hoffman didn’t own the copy write?
For those not vested in this saga, Robert Hoffman released a tell all E-Book several months back titled Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World. The book was yanked from the Amazon shelf at the request of Kate Gosselin’s attorneys who claimed Hoffman published information that did not belong to him. Hoffman claimed that he found all of the information in Kate Gosselin’s trash. If the book wasn’t enough of a sting, Hoffman also had a blog were he continued to taunt Kate Gosselin with information he had “found”. It is this blog where Google has removed all of the blog posts…for now.
We are pretty sure that the fat lady has not sung yet on this ongoing saga. Stay tuned.
It was way past time to remove this slander. I hope Kate goes for lost of job and wages against him too.
Very interesting. Seems RH is his own worst enemy.
I sincerely hope that Hoffman and his vile wife get their rear ends handed to them on a platter.
He was just another in a long line of money hungry blood sucking leeches.
I want to know what Jon is getting out of this. If the last blog was the author at Jon’s house with the kids … Jon is getting soemthing out of this.
RH is paying the victim here, saying hedin’t reeive blogger noice about his postings? I don’t know the rules for posting a blog, but maybe someone can enlighten on the subject.
TLC, Kate and the children need to sue, otherwise this will continue forever. There is always a sleeze mag that will buy a story. I can’t imagine being married to a man who is so into stalking another women and her children. I’m telling you, something is just not right with this man. He needs to be off the streets for a long time. As for Jon, if this go to court, which bird will sing first?
Playing the victim^^^ not paying
My computer is skipping . Sorry about spelling^^
“TLC, Kate and the children need to sue,”
Maybe they are. Things like this take time and many times people or law firms like to have their ducks in a row before they do things. Also, it is always best to not discuss publicly what you are or are not doing. The element of surprise seems to always work best in legal matters.
Kate needs to sue this guy and take out a restraining order. It’s obvious he is a little off balance and his concentrated focus on Kate is CREEPY. If I were Kate, I’d be worried about living in the same town as him. CREEPY.
Pam,
You are right, just thinking aloud. 🙂
Are the posts back? I don’t even know where this blog is? I keep going to a website that is one static page hawking the book that was pulled by Amazon. Anyway, there’s buzz that the posts are back. Not sure?
I just looked at the picture up above. I forgot that this guy was tweeting Bible verses!
“The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek… – W. Shakespeare The Merchant of Venice
Never mind…I found the blog.
*He’s thankful, blah,blah,blah, that he isn’t Jon Gosselin.*
That’s what I read in his new post. Does anyone else think he slamming Jon along with Kate?
The post are back and he is moderating comments now so all the haters are gushing their praise and graditude to their’hero’. It is disgusting. IMO this man is sick and dangerous.His blantant hatred for Kate and his hero status from his adoring fan club is a recipe for disaster.If I were Kate I would move far away from Penn. and start over.
Yes Ann, I thought he was slamming Jon too,his comment about someone watching child abuse had to have been aimed at Jon. Maybe Jon told him to back off.
He said what he was going to do, was destroy his friend Jon. This man is very sick in the head, and Kate should fear for herself and her children. As far as Jon goes, he let it happen, no going back now, he encouraged this so he can sink with the ship. Liz will never have a moments peace in her life now with all of this, as long as she is with Jon.
Uggghhh. I’m kind of at a loss for words. RH is just such a bizarre little man. I think Kate and her team are doing what they can. They are grown-ups and they are working within the framework of the law. Yeah, sometimes these things take time. I haven’t visited his blog, but if he doesn’t have any of the material he stole from Kate on there, it’s just another hate blog at this point – right? No wonder certain other blogs owners aren’t happy with him. There’s only so many sheeple to spread the hate to.
Oh, and I’m not sure if I buy this turning against Jon BS. On one hand, it could be true. Jon might have realized it was all too obvious to the courts who his mouthpiece is. Or it could just be more games. I wish this wasn’t the case, but both of them are losers and I feel sorry for their children.
Anya,
When you need money for an electrical bill from what has been reported, you will sell your children and your soul out to the highest bidder. 🙁
I just looked at the picture up above. I forgot that this guy was tweeting Bible verses! ~Ann
Don’t forget the Kenton Krieder avatar. And, after Easter he was taunting @deannatweeting that he liked the boots she had been wearing. It appears that all you have to do is say you’re writing a book and you can stalk all you want. Nothing about this guy’s fixation on Kate and her children is normal. Everything about him screams “Freak!”
Anya, I love your discription of RH “RH is just such a bizarre little man”. He is so desperate to make a dime. Once his booked was pulled, after only making about $88.80. He will do or say anything to keep the attention focused on himself and his story telling.
I’m am pretty sure Robert Hoffman is a stalker and obsessed with Kate G. It’s disturbing.
These type of folks get their hands slapped and they just keep going. It’s odd. They just don’t learn from their mistakes.
Even animals learn from mistakes.
Only Gingerbread men don’t learn from their mistakes!
They run around saying “You can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man” Which works just fine until the fox eats them on the other side of the river.
He was wrong. He got his hands slapped again. He needs to learn. Step away he is far too obsessed with a woman he doesn’t even know. He takes Kate hate to a whole new level. I just feel for his poor children.
I have said more than once how sorry I feel for his children. Both parents harbor such hatred for another person, kids pick up on that stuff and you can’t hide it and it absolutely effects them.
Pattypie,
He cares anothing about his children or wife. He wants his 5 minutes, a few bucks, and he will go on to do this someone else. The repeat pattern never changes.
I can’t imagine what his children are going through, that area is very small, they have to be looked at like they are the ones who have a crazy parents. The sad thing is, they will go down is history attached to this, but they had nothing to do with it.
He’s the gingerbread man, oh my! That’s a new one. I’d laugh, but it’s actually sad.
I’ve seen it before: some poor, nasty schmuck is so invested in his or her online persona that, despite real world warnings, etc., s/he keeps up the hateful or illegal behavior to the applause of other online, drama-addicted loons! Do these RH fans realize they are just encouraging him to do something that puts his own family’s finances at risk?
If I hadn’t seen it myself several times now, I wouldn’t believe it. But I predict this will end very sadly, financially, for the “hero of the Gosselin children” who is really bout 2 and a half years too late to rescue the kids from their dreaded fame. The show is off the air; the divorce is final. It’s time for these haters to move on. What the heck do they hope to stop or prevent? An episode of Wipe Swap? Another sponsored half-marathon?
I am wondering, when did the paparazzi become the hero? Didn’t RH actually claim to have taken pics of the kids that he sold to the tabloids? Weren’t the pearl-clutchers bemoaning the fact that poor little XXXXX covered his face with his hands because his mother exposed him to these immoral vultures who feast upon the stolen childhoods of the G8? Or are we supposed to like and applaud the paparazzi now?
Anyone know why twitter accounts are suspended and going protected suddenly in the Kate Twitter war?
Marie: Which ones? Some need to be banished to never return under any name.
Pretty much all the core group went protected after one got suspended. For what I do not know.
Marie, I understand the ones who have gone protected have been plotting. Anyone who says one thing negative against them will be reported in honor of their hero, ECJ… (gag me)… who has been suspended two times in a two week period.
Their latest lie is that Berksgrl claims to have called the power company to confirm that Jon’s power was not turned off. Another one claims Kate caledl the power co to turn of Jon’s power. Are they sick? Yes, very. And evil, too.
I think that you would need an account number to inquire about an electric bill and probably some back up info like the last four digits of your social security number. How and where would Berksgirl get that information? No way do I think that Kate would call and have Jon’s electricity cut off. I think that it was cut off because Jon did not pay his bill, period!
No one can turn off another’s power, only electric company for non-payemnt. Where do they come up with this stuff. If someone is posting personal info on a customer, that employee will be fired.
It’s an obvious lie. Kind of pathetic one, too. I doubt she even knows where he lives. How would she?
This is why I really think this core of twitters are all teenagers. They have no idea how utilities are set up and maintained. Plus why would Jon’s girlfriend tweet that the power was off if it wasn’t? I can only imagine what ECJ said. The things that are said that don’t get an account suspended are pretty bad. So going to restricted accounts is like the private board at that other site. It’s a secret club. Do they have a handshake? I want to join. 🙂
My parent’s utilities and phone company and what not refused to let any of my siblings help them sort out some issues when they moved recently until we were officially placed on the list.
Mind-numbingly ridiculous. This man has mental issues, and someone needs to stop him. I don’t understand how this is legal. If he wanted to date her, and followed her, took photo’s of her, “dug through her trash” etc he would be arrested on stalking charges, but because he’s selling his efforts to the highest bidder it constitutes free speech?!
Talk about the ultimate reputation management tool! Google is indeed the Internet police, and Kate Gosselin must be laughing to high heavens that it is on her side. Maybe she should coax the search engine to do more by doing away with the rest of the negative articles about her online.
