Anyone who has watched the show is aware of how terrible Jon is treated by his wife.
When looking back on this, you have to wonder: Where did Kate think it was going by treating her husband so badly, and then doing so on a national tv show no less. Didn’t she see the importance of trying to get along for the sake of their family ? No, it was more important to look good for the camera and to make her husband look like a buffoon whenever possible to the tv audience.
I have no pity for her whatsoever and wish somehow the pain she has caused could come back on her without effecting her kids. Jon, I just feel sorry for.
Jon, best decision you can make, I don’t now how you put up with her for so long. Take the show off air and let those kids grow up to be normal kids. Money does not make happiness.
this is so sad. I really wished they would try to make it work. i always watched the show and they wanted the kids so bad, now, fame and fortune has come between what they prayed for that they are losing everything by the minute. its just really sad
Divorce is hard on everyone, mostly the innocent children. They are loved, not only by their parents, but by all America. Good Luck to them.
I hope for the sake of their family that this is untrue. A more rational life-changing announcement would be a decision to break their contract with TLC and try, as best they can, to work through their issues. They owe their children that much.
Who cares? This is the very best example of bad TV. It’s exploitive and panders only to those ghouls who have nothing better to do with their lives. The saddest part is that there are some 9.8 million morons in the country who live to watch this travesty. If this is the best TV has to offer, I’m selling mine.
Jon deserves so much better than that awful Kate. She is rude, belittling and just plan nasty. These poor children only have a couple of years left before they can Google this entire mess. The children obviously love and adore their father and terrified and bewildered with Kate. She used these poor kids for years to seek some sort of fame…Well, you’ve got your fame and 8 potentially screwed up kids, Kate..CONGRATULATIONS!
They need to stop these family reality shows, they do not end up happy, look at the Newlyweds, Hulk Hogan, etc.
I JUST BELIVE THAT KATE WAS SO RUDE TO JON ON THE SHOW BY YELLING AT HIM AND TELLIN HIM TO DO SO MUCH OR HER.SHE IS ABLE TO GET UP AND D THEM HERSELF,THE WAAY SHE I DOING RIGHT KNOW WITHOUT HIM.I DONT BLAME HM FOR LEAVEING HER BUT THE CHILDREN WILL BE TH ONES THAT WILL HURT THE MOST.
It’s sad for the kids, but so obvious that Jon had had it with her and he was done. How much you want to bet Kate and TLC will keep doing the show during the times she has custody of the kids. I don’t see that woman giving up her weekly exposure on tv until no one is watching tv anymore and TLC decides to cancel it. She loves the fame.
Never watched the show but you can’t escape the Gosselins: this family is plastered everywhere. As with all divorces, the kids will suffer the most – and I wonder how they’ll feel when they grow older and actually watch the show for themselves. Would have been better if the “life-changing” decision made by these parents was to turn off the tv cameras and put the focus on healing their family in private.
Millions of people are going through divorce each year in this country, and were not paid for it.
At least, they got some financial benefits out of this, and Kate probably got some off-shoot deal after this show is over.
Kate is getting it over her head with the fame, and a poor model for a wife for treating Jon badly. Honestly, I think that she would be divorced by any husband for the way she treated Jon, regardless whether they have a show or not. So, please don’t blame the show.
It’s about time he got out. It’s a shame he had kids with that awful woman.
It IS sad that they’re getting a divorce, particularly since the kids are involved. But hooray for Jon…first thing he’s going to do is open a beer, fire up a big cigar and celebrate.
Run Jon Run!!!
