Jon Gosselin Clears Out Joint Bank Account

By Pam@IW

TweetPinEmailPrintYummlyLinkedInLikeShare

This past week was quite a week for the Gosselins and this upcoming week promises to be every bit as dramatic and will keep the tabloids and blogs buzzing.

Radar Online reports that Jon Gosselin violated an arbitrator’s rules and pulled hundreds of thousands of dollars out of his joint account with Kate, leaving her with only $1,000. Apparently this is the account that Kate Gosselin routinely pays the family bills with. People, TMZ and RadarOnline reported that Kate has hired Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer to go after Jon in Pennsylvania court Monday for the $200,000 he allegedly transferred out. TMZ states: “We’ve learned there is an existing court order prohibiting Jon or Kate from withdrawing any money from the account without the consent of both parties.”

According to People, “Kate learned about the withdrawal after receiving overdraft notices regarding her joint account with her estranged husband. When she inquired with the bank, she was told Jon had removed $ 200,000, leaving only about $ 1,000 in the account.”

Kate Gosselin is scheduled to be on Monday’s NBC’s Today Show with an exclusive interview with Meredith Vieira. Kate will speak out about her estranged husband’s recent actions, as well as the decision to halt production of her hit reality television show.

While Kate is in New York she is also expected to attend a party Monday night for Sherri Shepherd celebrating her new Lifetime sitcom, Sherri. The celebration will be held at the Empire Hotel’s rooftop and will be co-hosted by Barbara Walters.

    wondering if there is a way to move the posts about this from the other thread where we have been discussing this already?

    Hi Kimmie,

    I would have to manually copy and paste all comments in. Sorry I was late in getting this post up.

    Thanks,

    no problem, i just thought it would keep it all together. 😉

    I guess it is true. How sad for the kids, their dad is a real scumbag. Doesn’t he have any feelings for them?

    This must be one of those pesky details that Julie didn’t want others to worry about. The Truth Will Set You Free conveniently isn’t concerned her mantra at the moment. 🙂

    Wow, How could he do something so close to Mady and Cara’s 9th birthday? It doesn’t look good for Jon. I feel so sorry for the kids. God bless them!!

    well on GWOP they are not believing jon or his lawyer did that. this is a quote…which i totally don’t get b/c it seems to me that they do this all.the.time over there:

    It scares me that people are blindly making HUGE assumptions without the facts.

    Kimmie, isn’t that GWOP’s mantra? Too funny- thanks for sharing!

    Wow! He cleaned out the bank account? I wonder how that will play out in the COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION?

    Lily, I know the post you are referring to at Truth Breeds Hatred. I find it sooooo distasteful for the sister-in-law’s sister to write “Timing is everything” and explain it with (I am summarizing,) “IGNORE the timing and other pesky details. The important thing is Kate’s show may be ruined, and God has designed it to be so.” Ugh! The transparent thirst for vengeance at the expense of family makes me cringe. And I am speaking as someone who thinks the end of Kate + 8 would be a great idea, especially if Kate gets her own TLC (or Paula Dean) show.

    I know there are some hoping for a tell-all from Jon or one of the kids (!!??) I suspect Kate could fill a book herself with juicy morsels of her own.

    Darlene, good point about it being the twins birthday. I saw that today and remembered it is this Thursday. I honestly don’t know how Kate could stand to be in the same room with Jon at this point. Maybe they will do separate activities.

    Kimmie, unbelievable. I think we actually do have the vast majority of the facts. If Jon has an explanation, I can’t wait to hear it!

  11. kimmie says

    i’ve been reading a lot of justification remarks but the bottom line is this:

    as per a court order neither kate or jon is allowed to withdraw any significant amount of money from that account without the approval of the other.

    if that is true then jon legally had no right to do what he did for any reason.

    and he has to know that kate needs that money to pay the utilities, food, clothing, school etc. for HIS kids. no matter how jon or his lawyer tries to spin it he is keeping the money from the needs of his kids.

  12. Jennie@IW says

    October 4, 2009 at 8:45 pm

    That’s it. I’ve threatened to before, but now I am going to have to create a macro: “Jon, what in the world are you thinking?” Think of the time I’ll save.

    Okay, I will admit to speaking from a position of no legal knowledge here, but I wonder if Jon’s behavior is erratic enough to warrant a court-ordered psych investigation? I suppose it would only come up as an issue when/if the court gets involved in custody issues, which so far seems to be the only thing that the Gosselins are managing to work out amicably. Every day just seems to bring some new crazy thing from Jon; his attorney does not appear to be a good influence at all.

  13. kimmie says

    October 4, 2009 at 8:53 pm

    i think in the end the attorneys will have a ton of the $$ that should be the gosselins.

  14. kimmie says

    October 4, 2009 at 8:55 pm

    i guess i should finish my thoughts before i post…lol.

    does anyone but me notice that all this stuff is happening since jon got involved with the hellers? i mean before his behavior was erratic but not so harmful to the kids. now he’s crossed a line i think.

  15. Linda says

    Typically court-ordered evaluations are conducted when there is immediate physical harm to self or others. This does not seem to fit the bill.

    But this is so pitiful and just underscores everything that I’ve always thought about him. Immature. Irresponsible. Wow.

    Kimmie, I think he has crossed a line and I see that and that his behavior changed even before that…once he got involved with the Glassmans. The Hellers are putting him more in, well, hell.

    I have a prediction. “If” Jon took that money, he’s going to say he’s giving it to the kids, because they didn’t get “paid”. Remember that money that was supposedly unaccounted for, that Kate put into a trust for the kids? He’s going to try to make it look like he’s looking out for their future, too. Even though he has no right to do anything with all that money, that’s the only thing that I can think of that wouldn’t make him look like a completely idiotic jerk. Well, to some people anyway.

    First, I agree that from all indications, Jon is an immature jerk. I would be furious that he is spending my family’s money on his bimbo brigade.
    Second, I don’t think TLC will let the lights be turned off or the kids go hungry.
    Third, the only thing I agree with Jon on(although I don’t believe his motives for a second), is this crazy circus needs to stop immediately.
    Yes children survive divorce every day. But how many children have Larry King, The View, The Today show, and Entertainment tonight dissect it? Even “real celebrity” divorces don’t get this much press.

  19. Kiki says

    October 5, 2009 at 5:18 am

    Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t say “mark my words”. They showed a statement on the Today show that said something about Jon taking money he believes he will be awarded in the divorce. (Someone was talking to me when they showed it, so I just got the gist of it.)

    I don’t think the court of public opinion looks kindly on shutting down your wife’s source of income, then taking all the liquid assets. It may not be quite that bad (I don’t know what other sources of income she has, or money she has access to) but it looks bad. It’s not as if she can readily get a job that will provide the money for their current expenses, with the two houses.
    I don’t think a nurse’s salary would quite cut it.

    Exactly Wendy! This is so absurd! J & K’s legal team and/or PR people need to tell them to step the hell out of the lime light. There is no need to go on all of the media circuits and do the he said/she said. Whatever happened to Kate’s so called “we’ll handle this privately for the sake of the kids?” At this point, I think they’re both starting to make an ass out of their selves.

    I will bet that Jon took the money to pay Heller’s fee. He wanted the lawyer by his side Thursday on LKL and needed to pay him somehow. Heller has advised clients in the past to empty joint accounts to pay his fees.

    How bad this will be depends on Kate’s other resources, what was in the arbitration agreement, and what checks were overdraft. Jon’s excuse that he was taking money he thought he would get in the divorce won’t be very persuasive if the kids school tuition check bounced.

    You people need to hear Jon’s side of it. Watch his interview on Entertainment Tonight. Kate is a good actress when she wants to be

  23. kimmie says

    October 6, 2009 at 12:59 pm

    linda jon is belligerent and mean spirited. he says he wants mediation but then pulls the money thing. he says he wants more money that he *deserves* then he effectively cuts off any earning power from tlc for both of them. he’s acting erratically and meanly and that’s not showing he cares for his kids.

    i believe a lot more of what kate says than i do jon.

  24. Jennie@IW says

    October 6, 2009 at 10:39 pm

    Linda, I’ve watched Jon on EW and the Insider for the past two nights. He appears to me to be angry, immature, inarticulate and defensive. IMO, he’s far from an effective advocate for “his side.”
