What Is Kate Gosselin’s “Right Move?”

By Pam@IW 57 Comments

TweetPinEmailPrintYummlyLinkedInLikeShare

The headlines scream out from the online tabloids, magazine racks in the supermarket, the blogs and now even the main stream media. There seems to be absolutely no escaping it. Kate Gosselin is being trashed beyond belief.

Please feel free to add any I have missed.

Good grief! I could fill this page up with these obnoxious headlines with information from “close” sources.  We have spent several posts on Imperfect Women discussing the whole issue regarding who the source is. I would actually like your opinion on what you think Kate should do to address these headlines. They don’t seem to be slowing down but on the contrary escalating beyond anything that I have seen in the rags in a long time.

Is silence the best solution here? For those of us that have been somewhat invested in the Gosselin blogging world for some time, we are able to filter quite a bit of this and figure out for ourselves what seems logical and what seems blown out of proportion. But what about the average “jane” that sees this “crap” in the supermarket as they are checking out. This “news” becomes ingrained in their minds as the truth or at least somewhat the truth.

Why should Kate care?  This attack  is personal and intentional. This is not just rag magazines reporting on the latest “celebrity divorce” news.  I can only imagine this latest campaign of personal attacks can only damage her chances of being successful in the entertainment world down the road and limit her career choices.

Should Kate address these rumors or remain silent?  Should TLC speak up and have her back?  If you feel that she should address this, what is the best way of doing so?

    Be careful what you wish for …………….. Fame is a double-edged sword ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and all that cliche stuff. Can she ever go back to being just a private person? Can the kids? The fact that we discuss what her “next” move might be just proves there is no turning back. We won’t allow it.

    Kate should not answer the gossip that is put out there. They are just waiting to tear her apart.It would just give more reasons to post more gossip. Let them deep on hating . It has to be someone who is very close to the family? That has access to the kids.

    If the Nov. 30th hearing is still a go – one can guess why all of this garbage is out there. Jon does not know how to stop what he clearly started! He sees this as his public WIN…on the backs of the 8! I do believe Kate’s silence is GOLDEN! Truth is on Kate’s side…as is the best interest of the children.

    First, you listed the same headlines multiple times, for example the food issue was all one story that you divided up 3 times. The mess is big enough without having to make it appear bigger. Also, I believe one of the old nannies is the source, some young girl who pissed Kate off and was fired and is angry. Jon may hate Kate, but I do believe he loves his kids more, and would not put their names out like this. Kate has publicists, security, etc. and it would not hurt to simply put out a statement through one of them. Or have a friend use their name and do a story with indise information that is all info Kate approves being put out. Ignoring it makes her look guilty and like she is cornered. Of course, all just my opinions.

    MDG It makes a difference that several tabloids are carrying the same outrageous stories.

    How would a Nanny know that Jon didn’t watch K+8? How would she know he blames TLC? At the very least, it’s someone in Jon’s camp. I’ve already stated that I believe it is Ellen and Jon.

    http://www.hollybaby.com/2010/11/08/jon-gosselin-kate-plus-8-tlc-kids-special/

    As for what Kate should do next, I believe she should be listening to the advice of her attorney. I am hoping Kate’s attorney has some plan to bring and end to this nonsense. I also don’t think she should make any public statements. It doesn’t do any good and will just feed the fire.

    I think TLC has been giving Kate the time and space to work and now deal w/family problems before starting Twist of Kate. A TLC Rep says Twist of Kate is not canceled.

    MDG-

    I didn’t write this but I can confidently say it was listed 3 times- because there were (at least) 3 seperate “headlines” regarding the “issue”.

    The mess is big enough without having to make it appear bigger

    None of the women of this site are interested in making the mess “appear bigger”- merely in pointing out the stupidity of the recent “Kate is a horrible mother” pile on.

    Well I did not list the same headline multiple times. It might have been the same story line but it was spun a different way depending on what tabloid you read. I was trying to get the point across that these stories have taken a life of their own and they are on multiple rags. Yes it is necessary to show what is out there. That this “mess” is being repeated over and over again is really what makes this a “mess.”

    I agree that Kate needs to follow the advice of her attorney. So far, he has been top notch in handling her affairs.

    The problem with false accusations is that you damned if you do comment and damned if you don’t. If Kate were to comment, there would be lots of accusations of “she’s being defensive”; “she’s lying”; “of course, she will deny it.” If Kate doesn’t comment, there are accusations that she must be guilty because she isn’t commenting.

    I think Kate should let her lawyers handle this, but I would insist they get to the bottom of the headlines in recent days. Too many made up stories have come out, sue the tabloids for their source. Everyone knows when they say source, their is a name close to the family that knows the inner workings of the family. This is not the nanny, she left to open her own business, I don’t think she was fired at all.

    I hope TLC offers the Kate and the kids another huge contract, the source will be in a tizzy, sometimes sweet revenge is the best. 🙂

    I still smell the sewer rat, it is being reported Jon and Ellen are having problems, because of his attention he is giving his children. One could only hope that Jon gets a job soon and has a stable life for once, and Ellen moves on.

    I think Kate should continue not making comments. People who already support her understand where all these stories are coming from and those that dont like her believe it all and always will. I think she can bring in huge audiences, and will in the future. I am concerned that the children are being dragged into issues now, but I think only a lawyer and judge can handle it now… and unfortuatley they take forever.

    So let me get this straight, the minute anything is posted about Jon, regardless of the source, it is stated as fact on this site. However, anything put out by these same “rags” about Kate, is absolutely, positively false. Kate is the perfect Mother, Woman, Daughter, Sister, and Friend.

    Okay, I get it. 😉 You gals are postively unbelievable.

    I say where there is smoke, there is fire. Not every single one of these stories are false, otherwise, Kate wouldn’t be so silent.

    and that is my opinion of course! 😉

    I agree with Jane, Kate should just keep ignoring the tabloids, if all that was true someone at the school would have turned her into the child protection agency in Penn, school employees are mandatory reporters.

    I have a hard time believing anything from an “unknown source”, “family friend” or “someone close to the family”.

    I personally don’t believe every single one of these stories are false and I don’t believe that I said that in my post. I believe they are exaggerated and blown out of proportion. More importantly I believe there is someone that has a bone to pick with Kate and they are doing their best to pick it clean. I also think it is unnecessary.
    .

    I was one person that spoke up and said I did not feel Kate should have said what she did on Regis and Kelly regarding Jon.

    And that is my opinion. 😉 I am also glad that we are “positively” unbelievable. It is better than being “negatively” unbelievable. 😉 😉

    Alyssa, whether any of them are true, it’s not up to the public to keep trashing Kate and her children, while Jon can hang out in alley’s behind bars all night. A Father who is too lazy to just get a regular job, the “I’m to famous” to work statement has shown his children, I don’t care enough about any of you enough to get a job.

    Why Kate is not allowed to say negative things about cs, but Jon can go on TV and say I detest Kate makes my head spin. I still think Eleen is behind all of this as Jon can not say anything to the press, but the court did not tell Jon’s gal pal that she couldn’t. The stories are just too over the top, but an imature girl of 24 is trying for her 15 and I just gave her 2 minutes.

    For the life of me, I have no idea what was stated about Jon and taken for fact that wasn’t supported by proof? Ellen confirmed the Taco Bell complaint. Jon’s tattooed back graced the tabloids themselves. Jon wouldn’t answer the Rabbi when he asked if Jon would take the kids off TV- instead Jon said he had to consider his own best interest since he’s their father. Jon said he needed money, had no job, wanted something in entertainment. Pictures and video show he smokes in alleys and around the kids, he uses the finger, he shot a gun on the property, smoked marijuana in France, cooperates with paparazzi, tweets after losing a court battle. What’s not to be taken as fact?

    As for Kate being the perfect anything- read the site more closely- state with the title. Good luck, and be nice!

    i don’t think she should address any of this NOW. i HOPE her lawyer is on this.

    and when they find the *source(s)* and file a slander/libel suit on them THEN kate should make a blanket statement.

    and it should be gracious and thanking those who support her and completely ignore all those who printed/supported/perpetuated the rumors.

    i really don’t think she should start answering all the rumors now. you know it will be just like on the blogs; she’ll answer something and then after some snarkiness there will be a barage of other questions/accusations.

    i also was thinking that maybe (hopefully) kate’s lawyer has some info about this *source* and is going to present it at the hearing on nov 30 and spoil what might be a ploy on jon’s part for more/different custody etc.

    Sage, I tend to agree with you on making a very general statement. As Pam pointed out, not everybody hearing these accusations blogs about the Gosselins. They may a limited knowledge of who Kate is from the People covers, DWTS, etc. There have been damaging tabloids before, but that was during the divorce and I don’t think there were as many specific accusations being made, i.e., she makes her kids take spoiled food to school.
    .
    To those who say we (as if “we” have one brain or mouth) think that Kate is perfect, you obviously don’t read the site. Kate is not perfect. Not at all. She does, however, IMO, have a reserve of strength and fortitude that I hope she is drawing on now.

    I agree with kimmie. Find the source, and make THAT her statement. Jodi and Kevin made THEMSELVES look horrible to the outside world by calling Kate a cheater. Haters liked it; blogging Kate critics liked it, but viewers who don’t follow the blogs felt sorry for Kate for having them for family. When Kate has proof that this is coming from someone who wants privacy for the kids UNLESS there is money in his/her pocket by selling out to tabs, then she should deny it and say who did it.

From what’s out there w. the photo of one of the Shepherds…that should be a hint that Kate again meant what she said. The dogs will return…! Hmmm, the last time Jon was asked about the dogs at the Thirsty Turtle…’he’d get them back once he had a house’.

    Kimmie and Ann make good points about when to break her silence. I’m still loving her silence now, though. If whatever future statement comes through her lawyer, all the better. Kate slipped off the high road (briefly, IMO) on Regis and Kelly, but now she’s back on it. I’m crossing my fingers that her next step keeps her there.

    This site remains a great place for civil discussion of Gosselin issues. I want Kate and Jon to find success and happiness, and definitely want the same for their kids.

    In law school I had a professor who was known for his theatrics more than for his civil procedure lessons and he taught me maybe one thing in that class (and it wasn’t civil procedure)–If a witness is on the stand and they make a characterization of your client you can object or you can let it go. If you object you are basically shining a spotlight on what was said. I think that is similar here–there is a great likelihood that these stories will go away when the next big scandal comes along, and commenting on them might give credence to them. That being said, the rumors about her keep getting more vicious and the bloggers are getting more rabid, so I’m not sure what she’ll do–maintain radio silence or make a statement.

    The latest rumor is that Kate has blown through the “kids’ money” by spending it on cars (didn’t she get 1 suv, and she drives the big blue van still?), 7k hair cuts (extensions paid for, I believe, by people magazine), etc. Whether or not she is having money problems I am certainly not privy to, but I my family has gone through some pretty desperate times and my mom is a money hoarder. For her she worries about money even when they are flush. From what we have seen in the house (the coupon blow up when they moved) I would guess Kate is the same way. Even if she isn’t broke I bet she still worries about how she is going to pay the bills. You never feel like there is enough money when you have gone through that desperate, how am I going to pay the bills and feed the kids kind of time.

    Erin Kate, I think the reporter that said Kate has blown through money has the wrong Gosselin in the headlines. If you track Jon back for the last 1 1/2 years, this man has blown money that he could have used to buy a small home for his kids to stay with him when he has visitation. Kate is smart with money, just because you see her at Target shopping, do people really think you don’t need to buy everyday things. Also sending the kids to private school, the uniform dress is very inexpensive when you consider what parents spend a year for their kids to go to public school.Fancy labeled jeans are not cheap. She buys in bulk, so the savings would be great for her large family.

    I am not sure who you are addressing. I have no problem with Jon dating or having a serious relationship. He is divorced. He has a right to see whoever he wants. Kate should be able to date also.

    That was your question, correct?

    lalalinda,

    I have no problem who Jon dates, but I think women need to keep private things to themselves when it does not involve their lives. I think when you date so many women in a years span, and have moved all over the counry, would be very confusing for children. Ellen has put things out there concerning the G’s kids which is wrong. I hope in the future she has learned from this, that it can, and is damaging to the kids. If Jon and her are not releasing stuff, they need to clear that up with the public.

    I hope Kate can find a partner in life, why would anyone thing she does not deserve to be happy. While I hear Kates humor in her comments, she is being very honest. It would take a special kind of man to settle in with the family, she says she has a lot of baggage. I would not call her statements desperate, but hopeing someday she can find love again. IMO.

    I don’t think Jon has been bashed for dating, but for the way he’s been going about it. I don’t think I need to enumerate all the issues, but he’s had a number of partners over a short period of time, and hasn’t made the best choices in those partners. (Cough…Hailey…cough.)

    That said, my only *real* issue with Jon and dating is the blythe way he seems to expose his children to the women in his life – I think it’s irresponsible and potentially harmful to the kids to have these quasi-mothers dropping in and out of their lives.

    According to ROL, it’s just one dog for now. The pic they have up shows how pretty she is. I don’t think she was brought back for the show, but they filmed it since it’s happened. But, yes, that’s what they haters will say.

    I always liked the breeder, he had such a nice place and it was obvious to me he had a great admiration for his dogs.

    I bashed Jon when he was immediately w/Hailey and took off to France. It was so disrespectful to Kate and the kids. I was glad he kept his other GFs away. Your dad going through a string of young GFs is hard for little ones to understand.

    I think Haiely was with the twins, and of couse the nanny and now Ellen. It was reported all over the news when Jon was with Kate 2 and Morgan, so the older girls would know about them. Now it has been reported by a “source” that Jon is messing with a new gal pal. Jon needs to back away from hanging on to someone and get his life together. Until then, he will continue to do reckless things. He spends his days and nights living off of women, which I can’t understand in this day and age why any women would think this was ok. I would think someone in Ellen’s life would want her to have a chance to have her own family without all the negative things attached to Jon.

    Snickers you are so right about about the parade of women in & out of those children’s lives. Barbaric is where I’d take it. While I’d like to think the 6 might have been too young, I don’t think the twins knew enough to keep the whispers to themselves. (Morgan was here in DC w. Jon…just about this time last year.) Who knows just how many young bits of stuff bought into Jon’s ‘casting couch’, overblown id. I fear a Jon Gosselin is the sign of our times…all values thrown to the wind. Oh, doesn’t it go both ways…plenty of young girls just cruising to be used. Anyone jump rope to: 1st come love, then comes marriage, then comes (name) w. a baby carriage? ‘Quaint’ comes to mind. ;0)

    As far as Jon introducing the kids to his girlfriends, one of the first photos to appear when the first rumors of separation were starting up was one of Deanna sunbathing in her bikini in the yard of Jon’s “country estate”!… so, he’s been bringing women to the house from the beginning.

    Lalalinda,

    There you have your answer. I don’t think people think Jon should not date. That was your statement which really simplified the whole thing. It is all of the other behaviors that go along with Jon when he dates or has a serious relationship.

    All good points- you are all right- he does bring too many women around young ones hurting from the family break-up. 🙁

    I believe it you read the ROL article that the dog was brought back before all the lastest rumor mills started on the gossip sites and rumor mills. The episode was taped before Halloween and apparently the dog was already back so doesn’t that mean that Kate brought the dog back before all the crap was thrown out there? From watching the Alaska episode and seeing how delighted Kate and the children were with the sled dogs and the puppies I suspect Kate wanted at least one of the dogs back as soon as possible. It might be that the other one isn’t fully trained yet and not ready to come back home or it also might be better for the dogs to bring one at a time home to give the dog and the kids time to adjust and then bring back the second dog. To try and bring both back at once would probably be too stressful on the dogs and it’s better that each one adjusts before bringing in the second dog. I’m sure this is what the breeder recommended also. If you ever have watched the Dog Whisperer Ceasar always recommends time for adjustment before bringing another dog in. This would be the smart way to do it for the kids and the dogs.

    Lily, the first pictures of Jon were with the college girls at the local Legends bar. Jon has a problem, how Kate and him were married for ten years ammazes me. He has not kept a girl friend for over a few months at a time. I guess they are quick learners, but Kate wanted Jon with his children, so she must have put up with a lot from him.

    I could tell by the Alaska show the way the kids handled the dog situation, that they must have had one of the dogs back home with them. They have grown up and can play with the dog now. Great protector for the family. A new sign should be put up on the fence.

    I’m not sure bringing any dog back is such a good idea at this time. With Kate going to be commentator on ET and her children having alleged bullying issues, IMO it is not a good time to bring a dog into this situation. Not sure this is such a good move.

    GoBlue, pets can be very calming for children, having something back that was in their life before the divorce. They can focus on taking care of the dog, helping to learn resposibility, as kids their age feed, water and walk dogs daily in my neighborhood. I hope the dog brings the children happiness for many years.

    Aren’t a couple of the tups afraid of dogs ie. Alaska and the sled dogs? Though I did see the photos and it is Shoka who came back and what a beautiful dog he has become. My hopes are that Shoka will have a long life with the children and not be taken away again. As for the kids eating week old sandwiches.. as germophobic as Kate is??? Please she wouldn’t even touch a week old sandwich let alone pack it in a lunch.

    Looks like Kate ignored the “no comment, ignore them” adivce, ladies. She is blaming the divoce on her kids’ “rage” issues. That’s oversimplifying things a bit, isn’t it? The divorce is but one factor that contributed to the kids’ unhappiness. Please know that I speak from personal experience. Living with a bully, someone who belittles you, strikes you, and puts fear in your heart — THAT is as much of a factor in the kids’ recent troubles as the divorce, if not much more. God bless those poor kids. I hope I am dead wrong when I say I can’t see this ending well for some if not all of them.

    MomtoC, are you referring to the brief preview clip that has been shown? How do you know what else she said on the subject until you watch the show?

    MomtoC, you are putting your personal issues onto Kate. None of us lived in their house, saw daily activities etc. I don’t feel you need to judge Kate for a brief statement she made. I’m sure other things have contributed to the children’s problems, but it does take time for all kids to adjust. I don’t feel Kate has abused her kids, from a little swat on the behind. I fear the crap they see and hear about their Father as they get older will be more long lasting in their lives.
