Jon & Kate Marriage in Crisis - UPDATE

Posted by SunnyChanel


What a difference a week makes. Last week, Kate and Jon Gosselin defended their marriage saying that any allegations of extramarital hanky panky was just tabloid trash . What are they saying this week? According to People Magazine their marriage is “in crisis," among rumors that Jon is having an affair with a Deanna Hummel – a 23-year-old school teacher - and new allegations that Kate is fooling around with her body guard.

From People:

“I don’t know that we’re in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing,” Kate admits of her husband. “I’ve been struggling with the question of ‘Who is this person?’ for a while. I remember where I was the first time I heard her name (Deanna Hummel). It’s one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there’s blaring, red flashing lights.”

She continued to say “You can’t imagine yourself in a certain position when all this first happens, but you can do it over some months. It’s a lot like when I was first pregnant with the babies, and it was pure shock and denial. But over time I imagined six cribs in my house, and six car seats. When your mind is ready to go there, you can accept any number of scenarios.”


But this isn’t the end, she stated “I will never give up hope that every member of our family can be absolutely happy again.”

And they will be happy in one way…with the ratings of their upcoming debut of their next season. The producers are trying to figure out a way to tastefully integrate the recent rumors and family struggle in the show, really how could they not.

UPDATE: For those keeping track of the Gosselin drama at home, it's time to get out the score card.Now  Kate’s own brother has spoken out (to Radaronline) and stated that the “family is in shambles” and that Kate told Jon six months ago that the marriage was over.  Kate’s sister-in-law said that "The show is not reality, and has not been for a long time. This is a train wreck.” Apparently Jon and Kate have a “secret contract” of some sort to attempt to keep up appearances for the show’s sake.

 

Does the Gosselin rumor mill make you want to tune in to see the drama?

This whole thing just grosses me out so much. That's really the only thing I can say about it. I have no desire to watch show.

The cover of People!  If this is all a scam for publicity, I'd say it's paid off nicely.  If it's not... why aren't they working out their problems privately or with the help of a therapist?  Why is this entire sordid matter being handled through the media?

So bizarre! The appeal of the show is totally gone... I used to think "Wow, she's just an ordinary mom. If she can do it with six, I can handle one." Now I think they're celebrities... with all the benefits and costs that go along with that. Our lives couldn't be less similar, so my interest in the show is gone completely.

I know nothing about this family but what TLC, People and blurbs on Famecrawler try to sell me. To assume any of it is true or the whole story I'd have to be an idiot. What I do know is that this is a FAMILY and it's just so sad to see them being attacked by people who do not know them.

Lets stop tearing this family down. They  need our prayers and they need to get counseling. So does the other married couple that might be involved. Why do we tear down people when they are going through hard times. Have we forgotten the children too. Its not about this TV show its about peoples lives!!!! Let's pray that they will go and get couseling and try to get this family back together again. I think this show should go off until they can come back together as a strong family or not even come back. Books are much better!!!

e you are completely right.  I used to really enjoy this show when it was all about coordinating nap times and plowing through laundry.  I could see parts of my own life in the show.  But that went away when every show was about product placement and grand adventures.  Sorry, can't relate anymore so I don't watch anymore.

I used to watch it when my kid was young, as a way of getting ideas of how to cope, what to do, etc., but then as it progressed, I saw it getting more and more about getting free stuff. Seriously, after a while it was too much, and moving into that massive house got me - how can they say they have to use coupons for everything, but can afford a huge house? Then I saw it, that they reportedly get between 50-75k per episode. That would pay for a lot of stuff, even the stuff that they don't get for free (washing machines, many, many trips, etc). Now I am ashamed to have ever watched it, as I feel I was fleeced from the start.

people get on reality shows and think the are royalty now ......... get a real life and a real job and stop airing your dirty laundry on television. If you didn't want rumors and things of that sort yo both should have never agreed to do that show its stupid and crazy and the only people you are hurting is those beautiful 8 kids of yours... that have to go to school one day and get teased about the things that happened on the show and ended up in magazines....... how selfish of you both....

What has happend to this family is truly a tragedy. They came so close to having it all. A good marriage, wonderful children, millions of dollars, a mansion, paid travel, fame, etc.

They have surely fallen. Why?

1) Kate's hateful personality

2) Greed

Jon and kate are guilty of "prostituting' their kids and they've done quite well with all the free trips and merchandise.  Kate a coupon clipper, yeah right.

As many have said, I also used to love Jon and Kate plus 8. They were a relatively normal family with everyday problems. As the show became more commercial and it was all about showing off all of the wonderful free things they were receiving, it took away from being relatable and became annoying. I have watched a couple of the past episodes (my kids still like the show) and it is even more clear to me that Jon was becoming more and more unhappy. You don't have to know someone personally to get a sense of what is going on. I hope that they will set greed aside, take a break from the show and work on their family privately. It is very sad for the kids, they deserve better.
