Kate Gosselin will be on Katie Couric’s new show Wedneday, October 3rd.
The topic of the show is: “Who We Are Through Reality TV.”
Reality TV is more than a guilty pleasure for many of us – it’s who we are. TV has been bringing us into one another’s homes for decades. It’s become a place where people put their lives on display and others go to experience reflections of themselves. In this show, we’ll explore the reality TV phenomenon through some of today’s best shows that take a snapshot of America while shining a light on who we are. And one of the most well-known mothers of reality TV, Kate Gosselin, will tell us how she’s now doing it all on her own – as a mother of eight.
Have you been watching Katie’s new show this fall? Will you tune in on Wednesday?
Thanks, I’ll be sure to watch!
Yes, I will watch. Now I just have to find the time in my area.
Doing what on her own? She has never done anything without help ever. To this day even though her kids are older, she has nannies and housekeepers and handlers. What a joke. Every other show has stopped having her on and I think this is a big mistake. She is abusive and to give her a platform is just wrong! I hope she’s not handled with kid gloves. Show some real ethics, Katie!
May May, how could you possibly know that? I think your jealousy and anger is showing.
You don’t like her? Don’t watch.
You’re gonna watch. You’ll be angry and jealous but you’ll watch. In fact, you’re gonna take notes and tape it and talk about it for months, beginning right after it airs. LOL
I’ll watch too. But it’s because I like Kate and root for her and her kids.
Different strokes. Mine are good. Yours….not so much.
I hope Kate has an announcement about a new show!
It’s interesting that all these people… many anonymous… can come out of the woodwork and say the most hateful, obscene and hurtful things about Kate, but when she has an opportunity to speak up for herself, she gets blasted. Double standard much?
I’ll record this and look forward to hearing what she has to say. If you don’t like her, don’t watch.
Oh May May is upset, simply, don’t watch Suze. So what if she has a babysitter, parents have them. So what if she has a housecleaner, people do that to. Amazing how many people are like Kate. Maybe on the show Kate can ask Katie how much hired help she has. I hope Katie’s new show is a hit, and Kate can have a good time. 🙂
I haven’t caught Katie’s new show, but I will check out Kate next week. I’ll be interested to hear an update from her and also hear her thoughts on reality TV.
I saw Katie’s first show with Jessica Simpson. They shot down much of the tabloid hoopla about Jessica, who presented herself quite well. Jessica humanized herself naturally about the pregnancy weight and in such a delightful way that the Kirstie Alley commercials seemed tawdry in comparison. I really hope this Gosselin Book business is addressed by Katie & Kate and I hope that Katie will show Kate as the good mother we all want her to be.
May May and others: I have a person that comes in and cleans, and I live alone. I am so not a millionaire, but I do enjoy a clean house. If I had a spouse and eight kids; I would need a lot of help, especially with homework. I had trouble helping two kids.
Lindsay: Unless Kate is asked a direct question about the book, I think she should just ignore it and not give Hoffman or the book any publicity.
My new motto: I am going to boycott sponsers and products that accept negative comments about Kate or anyone else (people on TV in general) on their sites.
I recall when Kate (I think it was on one of the shows) could not find her journal. That was when Jon was still allowed at the house, but Kate had put a lock on her bedroom door. I remember that she was quite frantic about not being able to locate it. IMO, we now know what happened to her journal and lots of other items. If anyone believes that Hoffman found all that stuff in her garbage, then I have some property I would like to sell them “cheap”. IMO, Jon shared or gave the journal and the other items to Hoffman.
I don’t think a Mother would write in a journal that she beats her kid. Duh! Looks like someone helped themselves to alter all of this.
I have read the book. IMO the author has some serious mental issues. He says he still has Kate’s garbage in his basement from Christmas 2011. He has this not to prove abuse but to prove that Kate gave the kids more than one present for christmas last year. Why does he want to prove that? Because he thinks Kate leaked to the tabloids she was poor and only going to give the kids one gift last year. Of course we all know on twitter Kate said she went over board.
He always claims to have been friends with Jon for YEARS… Yeah, since way back in 2009!
…meant ALSO, not ALWAYS! Time to go to bed here.
If he has Kates garbage, she should file a police report and get it back. Burn it on his lawn right in front of him. He is so crazy, he would do ANYTHING to harm Kate! His wife has to be just as crazy, what woman would want another’s woman’s garbage stored in her house. Man, he really showed the world what a loon he really is.
Does anyone really think that Kate would be so stupid and throw her hard drive, journal, pictures, etc.. in the garbage knowing that she had a zillion paps outside her gate? I don’t buy it for one second. Especially when it what right around the time she kicked Jon off the property. Makes one wonder.
It is so not right invading someone’s personal thoughts, emails, tax records etc. like that.
I’ve DVR’d Katie from her first show a few weeks ago. Can’t wait to see Kate on Katie.
I do not believe any of the claims made against Kate. Yes she is strict but strict does not equal abuse. I can’t imagine her physically hurting her kids.
Where’s JON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would you leave your children with an abusive Mom?????????? Looks like Robert can’t tell anyone where his good friend is?
Jon hoping to remain relevant by feeding misinformation to his buddy. Kate let him get by with paying not one dime toward supporting his eight children and gets this nonsense in return.
Unfortunately, she’ll always have Jon to worry about. He is a leech.
I would like to hear Kate explain why she felt it was necessary to yank a two-year-old up by his hair and whip him into his crib (her words) for eating M&Ms. The abuse revealed in the book is horrendous, and it is all in her words. I don’t know how Hoffman got her journals, but he did.These are her own accounts of what she did t those children. Her account of what she did to Aaden when he had a potty training accident made me want to cry. I don’t blame Jon or Hoffman or anyone else for her actions. She did those things. I blame her.
I hope Katie asks her why she would do such things to the children, but I fear she won’t. Nobody cares about the children, they only care about covering for Kate. Those poor children have nobody fighting for them. They are alone, battered, and apparently forgotten victims of abuse. Everyone is pointing fingers, but when will someone stand up for them? Apparently nobody cares. It will be another softball interview, and the children’s suffering will be ignored, as it has been all along.
Lola,
Where’s Jon?? Wouldn’t the cop cars with flashing lights be all over the compound today showing Jon right there to protect his kids from their abusive Mother? Just asking—-
Lola, they’re Kate’s own words according to Hoffman, who is very suspect. I wouldn’t want to be alone in an elevator with the guy. He creeps me out. His judgmental attitude of Kate is is weird and sinister.
snickers, Cop cars will not show up until the matter has been thoroughly investigated and there is some decision on what action will be taken. Jon now has 50/50 custody, so he is most likely at home with the kids, or maybe working. What do you expect him to do? Hoffman said in the book that he did not get this information from Jon. He has written articles that were not flattering to Jon in the past. He said all that Jon has every asked him to do is tell the truth.
I still want to know why nobody is interested in the well-being of the kids here. Why don’t you care? Why is protecting Kate more important than looking out for their welfare? Nobody else on this forum has shown the slightest interest in how they are doing. The are defending Kate, vilifying Hoffman and Jon, but not a single ounce of concern for the kids’ welfare. Go back up and read all of them. If there any mention of the kids’ well-being being expressed? No!
These are Kate’s journals. I don’t know how Hoffman got them. But Kate said in those journal entries that she beat her kids, yanked them up by the hair, and whipped them into their cribs. She said she was afraid she could do them some serious harm. But nobody is showing any interest in their well-being. I don’t ate Kate. She is flawed, like everyone else. But these are things she did to her children, and nobody cares about their well-being. She is responsible for her own actions. It just breaks my hear that nobody gives a darn about the kids’ welfare. Nobody.
Hoffman does sound deranged. This book sounds like a personal vendetta. I wonder if he made a pass at Kate and she turned him down with a vengeance. Yes, where was Jon when, and if, his “kids” needed his protection? CPS, according to the haters were called many times; why was the abuse not found? So many unanswered questions.
Lola: What exactly have you done to protect the Gosselin children? What proof do you have that the journals are Kate’s? Present your proof. What proof do you have that Jon has 50/50 custody? If you have no proof, then all your concerns are just your opinion and should be so stated.
Lola,
You think because someone questions where Jon is that they don’t care about the kids? Get a grip, Jon is not around and someone is covering for him. If anything was wrong, CPS can be called 24/7 and the cops and CPS responds. Children are removed on the spot in most cases, and then the courts go through the process later. Where is Jon, how do you know he has the kids today? If my kids were abused, no way in he%% would they be in that home. Jon should be right there today having the kids removed and you would never take them back.
Hoffman said after the fact he was going to destroy Jon. What grown family man would set out to destroy his good friend? Something smells———.
Our first concern should be for the well-being of the children. The adults can fend for themselves. Kate herself has not disputed anything that was written in the book. I find that troubling. If you were accused of such abuse, and someone said they had your journal entries to prove it, wouldn’t you speak up? Wouldn’t you say, ” I did not abuse my children, and I did not write any journal entries saying I did”. No matter how Hoffman got them, Kate is not speaking up to say they aren’t true. Why? Why not tweet to everyone saying that the allegations are false?
What concerns me is that if you read all the comments on this matter, not a single person says that they hope the children are all right. That they hope these allegations are untrue for the children’s sake. Where are our hearts, people? Where is our desire to protect the most vulnerable people involved in all this–the children?
Lola, If you’re citing BL as your source as Jon having 50/50 phys custody as the reason he no longer has to pay CS, you can forget it.
Don’t spread that misinformation that CS magically disappears at 50/50 phys custody.
Lola,
I am concerned about any child that is abused, but I don’t snoop in people’s houses, steal their garbage and store it in my basement for 5 years, hang on a fence chumming with a Father to get half-truths, take food to bribe kids for info, etc. I don’t let strangers off the streets into my home while my partner is away, probably just having a grand time rummaging through personal items of others. I am concerned about the kids, a creep was let in their home for him to do anything he wanted. Jon thought they were pals. Now that is scary to me.
Rosemary, if the journals are not Kate’s, then don’t you think she would say so? That’s what troubles me. She hasn’t said they are not hers. SHe has not said that what is in the book is false. I just think we all should be praying for the children’s well-being. They are the ones most likely to be harmed in this. And since nobody else–not one of you–wants to take that step, then I am going to take it. I hope and pray that the children are all right and that they make it out of this mess with as little trauma as possible. I only wish you all felt the same way, but still not a word from any of you about the children. How can you look at this situation and see who is likely to suffer the most? Why can’t we all let it play out in time, and band together in support of the children? Why don’t you care?
Lola: Would you or any of the other haters believe Kate if she did speak up? She has remained quite on other subjects, and was later vindicated. Her lawyers and managers might have told her to keep quite.
Have you heard John Travolta defends himself lately? What has been said has been through lawyers. I doubt that Hoffman can afford a lawyer; so, his mouth keeps running.
snicker, I don’t know what Hoffman did. I don’t know how he got his information. I don’t know what Jon had to do with all this, if anything. I don’t know why Kate hasn’t denied any of it. I care about the harm that will come to the kids in all this. And I feel relief that you stepped up and acknowledged their interests in this situation. This will all play out over time, and it’s not going to be pretty. But please, let’s stand up for the ones who are going to be hurt the most. I’m not trying to be argumentative, but let’s put our hearts in the right place.
Lola,
Do you think Kate is sitting aroubd not upset about all of this. Jon also involved other people here, TLC, family, etc. I’m sure she has been advised by her lawyer not to speak. I would have a restainging order first and formost against a stalker. He admits what he has done, are you concerned about his children, I am. Point that finger at his family, his poor children, who has had to live with parents who spent hours and hours destroying another family. I know nothing about any of them personally, so I will wait to see what happens like everyone else does. Have a good day.
Rosemary,
I do not hate Kate. She is flawed, I am flawed, but it shocks me to see people toss the kids’ interests aside to support one adult over another. We don’t know which adult did what. What we do know is that the kids are going to suffer greatly due to all this.
I would like to tea Kate say this isn’t true. I didn’t worry too much about it, but I know as a mother I would stand up for my parenting and the choices I have made for my kids. I no she has worked to provide for the kids. But let’s acknowledge the extreme emotional damage that will come to them in the near future, and pray that they will come out of it okay.
snickers, once again, you are showing concern for Hoffman’s children, but none for the Gosselin children. I’m sure Kate is upset. I’m sure Jon is upset. They are grown ups. They can find ways to handle it. But when the kids go to school on Monday and have to face all this, what happens to them? They don’t have the coping mechanisms of an adult. Can’t you find it in your heart to show just a tiny bit of concern for them? How can you not care? Kate is their mother. She loves them. If you support her, then for goodness’ sake, support them too.
Lola: We are all concerned on this site about children. We have all been children, and most of us have children. This thread is not about the Gosselin eight, however, we are all concerned about them. From what Kate has made public, some, if not all, the children, have been getting therapy, and I hope that Kate has also. I know that Kate has made mistakes rearing her children. We all have. I know that I did much better with my second than my first, even though 12 years apart.
What exactly do you think that we should do? On this site we support women (including you), and not try to tear others down to make ourselves feel better. We like to deal with facts and proof and not speculations (unless we are stating a personal opinion).
Sorry, apparently this is not the right forum to discuss concern for children. Somehow, I think that Kate would like to see her supporters showing concern and support for the kids. But you don’t If you want me to choose sides, let me say right now that I am on their side. I hope they are not tormented by their peers over this. I hope the adults can find a way to move past this and give them the love and support they need. hope they grow up with their emotional well-being intact. And I guarantee you that Kate is right now worried about the effect this is going to have on her kids, and how she is going to make this okay for them, too. It’s a shame you don’t have the same concern.
Lola,
Can you read, all children I said, everywhere, that does include he G children. Why are you avoiding Robert’s children. They also have to go to school, live in the same community, how does anyone know there’s no abuse in their house, I don’t. They are not adults either. Whose Father lays on the floor watching little girls dance, and looks through the cracks. Do you feel for the other children that were in that class that didn’t know he was looking at them while they wwre in a private dance class. I see problems on all sides of this issue.
Please don’t speak for me or tell me how to feel. You lose your point before you start. I am concerned for everyone here, not just the G’s, but I hope the children are safe.
If these are really her journals, would that not be the needed proof to CPS. Most people would work with law inforcement, CPS, and others to try to get help for those children if it was true, not stalk them on twitter and go through their trash, or put a ‘tell’ all book on Amazon. This is just too unreal.
Lola,
Once again, when some doesn’t agree to smear without knowing the FACTS, not something written by a tab reporter, you say we don’t care. I think if you read the posts, the childrens well being has been written here many times. I only mentioned Robert’s children because he posted what he has done.
There are no facts or proof yet. But that wont help the kids when they go to school on Monday and hear about this. Right now, at this moment in time, they are going to suffer the most. ow do you tell your kids what to expect in a situation like this? How do you make them understand what is going on? They don’t have the capacity to understand. They won’t know what to do. This situation is going to get uglier before it gets better, and the ones who will be harmed most is them
I have children. I know, as a woman, my first instinct when things go wrong, is to think of how situations will affect them. How will they cope? How will this affect them when they become adults? What issues are they going to have to deal with because of this? My kids’ needs and well-being come before my own. When they are grown, and they are emotionally strong people, I will send them out into the world to fend for themselves. But while they are young, I will fight like a tiger to protect them. Anyone who hurts my children will have to deal with me. I can’t imagine having to send them out to school with something like this to deal with. Yes it troubles me that Kate hasn’t denied any of it. But I;m more concerned about what the kids will have to deal with. Kate can get her lawyer to fight this battle for her. When the kids get on that bus on Monday, they’re on their own.
Lola,
I understand, but Kate and Jon are their parents and they will have to handle this situation with out the world being involved about this issue, inside of their home. I’m sure things are being talked about, just because twitter is not giving out info from Kate means nothing to me. I was just making a point about Robert’s children also, he has put a heavy burden on them also. I don’t question how anyone should parent their children from hateful gossip books, I have not experienced that. I just pray that someday all these children involved can move past all of this. It’s sad.
Oh I think the kids will have some fall out from this book and only Robert Hoffman is to blame for this.
None of us know what really happened. However I say the same thing as the other comments here.
It is very suspect to me that a Pap reporter who can no longer make a living selling Gosselin stories and pictures suddenly has a whole new “story” to tell. He has stated he has severe financial problems – and he comes up with a whole new angel to sell to the tabloids when a picture of Kate at target just doesn’t sell anymore. Things that make one go hmmmmmmmmm.
This ia a pap who says Kate didn’t spend enough time outside with her kids on easter sunday when by his own admission he was out side her house from morning til night easter sunday and only ran home for a short time to hunt for eggs with his own kids. And what important story was he covering at Kate’s house that was worth missing his own kid’s easter? Was he on the look out for possible child abuse? Was he watching to make sure the dog wasnt being abused? No. His only reason for missing his own children’s easter was to see if Kate really had the 1200- 1500 plastic easter eggs that she tweeted about.
This PAP is a man who missed his children’s easter to see if Kate lied about easter eggs on twitter.
In his book Robert only writes about incidents that happened when the kids were little. Over 6 years ago. Even if the journals are word for word straight from Kate Robert has no emails or journals with recent incidents. How do any of us know that this wasn’t dealt with at the time and was a thing of the past? Bringing it up now will only hurt the kids more.
No where in the book did I see Robert say he went to the police with the journals he says everything and I mean everything in the book – it is EPIC. 38 chapters and hunderds of thousands of words Why would he leave out important details like he took the journals to the police?
If Robert was so concerned only about the child abuse why is there a whole chapter of the book speculating that George Lopez and TLC were sending out clues to the world that Kate is really like DEXTER? It is like reading Robert’s decent into madness.
The biggest part of the book is not alleged child abuse. The biggest part of the book is analyzing Kates tweets. Hundreds of pages going over hundreds of tweets. It’s bizarre!
I would think if I was writing a book to save children from more abuse I wouldn’t be so worried about if the mother was giving proper credit for a quote in a 140 character tweet.
Snicker, thank you for understanding. I read through the discussion and was very surprised that nobody expressed any concern for them. This whole situation is disturbing, and we have no idea how it will end. And concern for the kids doesn’t make me a “hater”. I am a mother, first and foremost. And I know that at this moment, at least two of the three main players in all this–Kate and Jon–must be beside themselves with worry about the effect this will have on the kids.
If Kate reads here, let me go on record as saying to her that I hope her kids make it through this situation with no emotional scars.
Am at a loss to read that ANYONE could find this ‘book’ worthy of $8.88 much less 8 breaths. How gullible can people be to think a dumpster-diver is a man of honorable intentions?
Bob & JON might look quite the trend setters in either white or orange jumpsuits. Loathesome ‘fathers’! Such scum of the earth to do what they’ve done to…CHILDREN! Their own children! Blech.
Even the cute pricing of the book. 8.88 is suspect.
Who puts cute pricing on a book that only reason for existing, according to Robert Hoffman, is to save the Gosselin children?
Lola: I think that Kate might be beside herself with worry about how this book will affect her children, but in my opinion, Jon contributed to this debacle and hopes to financially benefit from it.
Why would anyone be gullible ans stupid enough to believe a man who proclaims to be keeping someone’s garbage, for years and now somehow has found a way to save the Gosselin children, years later, from abuse, found in this garbage. You can’t even write that for a tv show and have it not be laughable.
–
Kate is a firm parent, she(and Jon) may use spanking as a form of discipline. The courts have been in their lives for years, why would anyone think this angle hasn’t been discussed?
–
Jon has 50/50 custody?!?! That’s almost as funny and naive as believing the Gosselin Book is about saving kids from child abuse. Funny and sad stuff. Nothing about Gosselin haters gives me pause anymore, it’s all too laughable to be believable.
I also love hater disconnect. Kate is a washed up has been, no one cares………..but this guy is going to make millions off of Kate!?!?! Funny stuff. Wonder if Polly stays up late counting her millions?

snickers, once again, you are showing concern for Hoffman’s children, but none for the Gosselin children. I’m sure Kate is upset. I’m sure Jon is upset. They are grown ups. They can find ways to handle it. But when the kids go to school on Monday and have to face all this, what happens to them? They don’t have the coping mechanisms of an adult.

—— I’m sorry, but this just comes off as fake and not genuine concern. You came here to post and your very first post was all about vilifying Kate, without proof. That is not concern for HER children. The Gosselin kids are well versed in the crazy that is the tabloids. Their normal is to deal with them. They attend a private school, the kids there all know who the Gosselins are i’m doubting this is even going to register on children’s radars at school………. That is unless those children have tabloid seeking parents and discussed it with their kids.
–
Haters need to quit using the kids they all proclaim to want to protect and save. No one will ever protect a child by selling stories or writing books about their parents. Red flag #1 is not bringing proof to proper authorities, everything after that is hogwash and highly suspect. #1 rule of CPS is not to believe 3rd hand info, why should the general public?
Marnie,
Even after I expressed concern for the children, all children, I was told I had no concern. Leaves one puzzled for sure.
Amazon has pulled the book. It is not available for download.
WOO HOO!!!!! Thanks Judy for the info.
I read on twitter that TLC sent a cease & desist letter to shut down the book. Also read that Robert Hoffman’s friends have set up a paypal account for donations for his legal expenses.
Lola, I realize you are new here but most of us regular posters have been here almost since this site started. Concern for the entire family is the reason this website was built.
Robert posted on 15 minutes he didn’t post the pictures he “found” in the book because they don’t belong to him. Yet he thinks stolen written word is OK to publish? He actually thinks he can post stolen emails? And stolen contracts?
No way he found this stuff in the garbage. He wouldn’t constantly talk about “files on Kate’s computer” through out his book if he found CD’s in the garbage like he claims. Who would ever store silly emails between girl friends on CD either>
Thanks Judy. I see Amazon took the whole page down.
What book? 😉
I enjoy the efforts you have put in this, thanks for all the great content.
stxmom,
I worry for Jon, the backslapping and high fives for Robert could end up not being so wonderful for the children’s Father. How sad he took advantage of a guy who was a little down on his luck and used him. In Robert’s own words, he was out to destroy Jon. I also have concerns for Jon and Kates extended family. He has brought danger to all of them. This was not about protecting the G children, this was all about who Robert could destroy. While doing all of this, his own children were neglected for the years he devoted to stalking a family in his home town, and this shows he didn’t care what this was going to do to his children.
Lola,
I am concerned about the kids. But how on earth does Hoffman think he is helping them?
Assume for a moment that he is right and Kate is mentally ill (he is clearly not qualified to diagnose that but so be it.)
How does taunting a mother you believe is mentally ill on line for months protect the kids? Wouldn’t’ someone who truly believed Kate was a danger to the kids be fearful they would push her over the edge with public taunting? You don’t bait and tease someone who is likely to fly off the handle unless you are trying to provoke them to do so.
Therefore I have to conclude:
1) Either the abuse part of the story is untrue/exaggerated so Hoffman knows he really wasn’t putting the kids in more danger,
2) He was hoping to drive Kate to do something awful which would make for a better ” story” but could have seriously harmed one or more of the kids.
There are so many ways Hoffman could have intervened to help the kids and I don’t see how publicly trying to destroy their mother is the way to do it. Did he go to the authorities with this evidence? If so, did CPS investigate? If they did not investigate, why not write an exposé on PA CPS failing to protect the children?
Did he produce these “journals” during any of the custody hearings? If so, why was Kate given any unsupervised custody? What does the judge, the courts, etc. know that we don’t? If not, why didn’t Hoffman try to protect the children via the proper channels? Did he purposefully leave the children in danger for years so he could do an explosive exposé?
What does Hoffman truly hope will happen as a result of this? Will the kids be better off yanked from their home, their school, their current life? Will they be better off if their mother has no hope of future employment?
I am guessing that what is hoped is that Jon will get the house, the kids, and all of Katr’s remaining money to raise the kids and Kate will be be either homeless on the street or in a mental hospital? Is that really in the kids beat interest?
Yes snickers, Jon seems to be easy prey for anyone looking to make a quick buck. Jon seem to act without thinking how his actions will later effect his children.
Can’t believe folks are still talking about 50/50 custody.
If the statement Kate’s lawyer released stating that Kate forgave Jon all future child support was incorrect you know that Jon would be shouting about it from the rooftops.
Someone is a little high on himself https://al-walentis.squarespace.com/2012/9/30/biggest-first-amendment-battle-since-the-pentagon-papers-amazon-pulls-the-plug-on-nasty-kate-gosselin-book
Wow! So much posturing going on that oneupmanship seems to be the order of the day. It seems that Robert, Al, and Polly still want their own 15 minutes of fame to be in the forefront. Turning on each other seems to be leading to more posturing so while they are vilifying each other maybe Kate can breathe easy while spending some quality time with the 8.
I read that the 15 minutes “lawyer” is printing the GB on her blog chapter by chapter.She’s a real legal whizkid, isn’t she?
Has TC resurrected herself in the guise of Lola? The phrasing seems familiar but without all the nasty words.
Lola said:
#32.Why can’t we all let it play out in time, and band together in support of the children? Why don’t you care?
“Play out in time?” “Band together in support of the children?” What on earth do you mean by that? Even if there was absolute verification regarding allegations against Kate, what could the general public do in “banding together” other than express a hope that the kids are okay, and will be okay? You’re saying flowery words that have nothing at all behind them, because “banding together in support of the kids” means nothing and will do nothing for these kids. Yes, we care. Who wouldn’t care for kids and their well being?
42. When the kids get on that bus on Monday, they’re on their own.
What do you think will happen Monday morning on the bus? Do you think some kid will tell the Gosselins that there’s a book out that states their Mom spanks them? If their Mom spanks them, don’t you think they KNOW she spanks them? Someone might tell them that there’s a book out that calls their Mom “mentally ill?” Do you think they’ll be hurt or angry that someone is calling their MOMMY these names? Do you think they’ll defend the Mom that they love the same way people who don’t even know her have been defending her because of the crazy allegations made in that “snoozefest” of a book?
You are WRONG about one thing. On Monday morning those kids will not be “on their own” on the bus. They will be TOGETHER on the bus. All eight of them will be there, and I have no doubt that they will stand together, and if anyone dares to say anything about that ridiculous book to any of them, they will face it together, and they will be just fine.
Wow. I am so far behind. I have so much catching up to do.
My first impression: I can’t believe this guy is for real. I can’t believe what a creep he admits to being. Is he a stalker? Do we adequate stalking laws here in PA?
Where’s Rep. Murt when you need him?
First off I can’t believe anyone would believe a word out of Hoffman’s mouth. His wife was the one trying to destroy Kate thru her articles at the Reading Eagle! This man and his wife are mentally ill. SEVERELY mentally ill. Who does this to another family? How on earth do you live your life knowing you are doing everything in your power to DESTROY another family? How? How does this happen??
The whole 50/50 custody thing is so bogus I can’t believe anyone would believe it. Jon doesn’t WANT custody of those kids. He’s made it more than clear many, many many times.
And if you aren’t smart enough to figure out that Kate’s lawyers have more than likely told her to keep quiet about this, there’s no hope for you. If you aren’t smart enough to realize if CPS has been called twice, and nothing has happened it’s because NOTHING was found to indicate the children were in danger, there’s no hope for you either. C’mon people. — — USE YOUR HEADS!! You don’t have to be a hater or a supporter, just use your critical thinking skills, PLEASE. I don’t voice concern for the children because I am positive the children are safe and happy. If this abuse happened when the children were still in cribs…..they are what 8 yrs old now? How long do these investigations take?? C’mon….this is ludicrous.
Hoffman is mentally unbalanced at the very least, and dangerously mentally ill at best. His wife has been on a vendetta against Kate since the sextuplets were born. I’m shocked at the number of people that can’t use their brains to see through BS when they read it or hear it.
We have a new post up: https://imperfectwomen.com/kate-gosselin-tell-all-book-yanked-by-amazon-due-to-legal-threats/
I added a video that is up now on the “Katie” show’s site.
Missed the 1st 5 minutes of Katie. Upfront – I am as fond of Katie as she is/was of Kate. NOT VERY. No news made other than Kate getting in her running for Coupon Cabin. I’m not sure Couric knows what a coupon looks like, but sure as h3ll knows what CANCER is all about. If she had to give Kate ONE compliment other than how ‘well she looked’…her expression was nothing short of sucking on lemons. (I’m assuming Kate is well aware of the times Couric has made fun of Kate & her 8). With that in mind, I thought Kate did a fine job of facing a not so sympathetic/interested interviewer. How many times has Kate been asked…’why don’t you go back to nursing?’ ‘What has reality t.v. done to her children’…UGH!
Ooops, almost forgot – Kate doing a dating show is STILL something of interest to her.
The camera lens and lighting that everyone is talking about on this show makes Katie look thirty but it makes Kate look twenty! I did like that Kate finally answered the entire question on why not just be a nurse. I don’t think Katie realized that someone had to like watch the children and that nursing wasn’t a 9 to 5 occupation. I also think that Katie didn’t realize that Kate was running a 10K and a half marathon since she referred to a ‘couple of 5Ks’. Yes Katie this woman is running many miles. I did think it was funny that at one point Katie described how crazed she would be with 6 toddlers and it sounded like she would have been another Kate G. It was a nice interview. I was expecting another stressed interview since every time she gets a national platform her ex manages to find a way to be a jerk. But she looked happy and came off as well spoken, not so many umms.
I just finished watching it and I think it was good. I really do. Nice interview.
