    Geez-what took them so long to realize that bashing each other publicly makes things worse for their kids?

  • Denise

    Poor Kate, With all the tragic celebrity deaths, the tabloids must have stopped offering her enough money to sell out her children’s privacy.
    Don’t worry, the greedy blabbermouth will be back soon slamming Jon and blaming her children for her “misery”.

  • Lori

    That should read Kate no longer will bad mouth her husband.

  • Laci

    It’s about time. Kate didn’t hesitate to give an in depth interview to People as soon as the divorce news broke. We can only assume that Jon has put a stop to this since he’s the one who doesn’t open mouth to a magazine every time he wants a story heard.

  • The Kate Haters are still at it?!

    Seriously, ladies… the show is over. Time to move on with your sad, pathetic, boring lives.

  • Donna

    I do not hate Kate, I just can not stand the way she treats Jon and those poor sweet babies. That woman sure needs anger management. I feel so sorry for those little ones. Jon is a big boy, he can hamdle his ownself I hope. Those 8 little ones can not. So someone needs to step in and take care of them. Kick Kate of the house that belongs to the babies, and let them live Happily ever after…..

    Close up shop. Leave these people alone, stop the freebies and let them deal with their 8 kids on their own, as in getting REAL jobs like the rest of us! Last thing I want to see is a reality show about a couple with 8 kids going through a divorce. How sick is that?

  • Youtuber

    GO to youtube and watch
    LITTLE MONKEY BOY CLIMBING
    its a HILARIOUS video =D

    Too little, too late. After Kate Gosselin’s People covers, which she coordinated w/her divorce filing, what more could she say?

  • Adam

    No more public comments? Good…we don’t wanna hear you. Good bye.

    So they comment publicly that they are no longer commenting publicly? Nice.

  • Kristine Stewart

    Don’t you think it is a little late to shy away from the public now?? You have aired your business for several years now, so why now?

  • cbw

    Good luck with that, yeah right.
    There will be Kate Haters as long as there is Kate.
    Actually, the lawyers have shut Kate up and it’s in order to save her own saggy a*s. The lawyers have plenty to attack each spouse with and the more they blab about each other to the press, the more piles up against the bad-mouth. Finally, peace for us.

  • melanie

    ummm, right. I give them 27.5 hours.

  • Diane

    Too bad in this difficult time they could conclude they need to give up the show and that their marriage is worth saving and stop the divorce!

  • Donna Davis

    How come no one gets that this is a scripted TV show? If it was real there would not be TV cameras in the kitchen and in the car and in the bedroom. It’s a TV show folks… it’s just a show…you know, fantasy.

  • corbin

    gosh that was a terrible descision they could of worked it out and i know that god put them together for a reason he didnt put them together for them to divorce he put them in for patners for life and also god hates divorce it will not be good for the kids VERY BAD DECSISION!!!:(

  • kellie

    When is this stupid waste of TV time going to end? I am so tired of this family. I just hope people like the “Octa Mom” now realize when you have a litter of babies you need to get a Good Job not sell your kids money. Lets stop supporting these freaks call them selves parents. I HATE Jon and Kate Plus *, and I wish them lots of welfare and poverity in the future. Thank You!

    i hope that this is actually true, that jon and kate will keep things private. they shouldn’t have even announced their divorce on the air. maybe they thought it would end the tabloid stuff, but it probably won’t. i just hope that the kids knew before the viewers.

  • JT

    Wow, I thought this was “reality” TV.

  • jeanie

    Jon, face facts. Stop running around, you have enough children. Grow up, you are now angry man.
    Look at the beggining when you were still in love and go get help.

  • jeanie

    Jon grow up. You are acting like a child. If you got talked down to, then you should have gotten professional help. Running around and gettng drunk is setting a poor example.

  • jeanie

    Did anyone ever think that maybe Kate badmouthed Jon because he was running around for a while? He certainly doesn’t honor his vows.

  • Miranda

    The no-comment decision should have been made the day they signed the TLC contract. IF Jon was playing around and I say IF because so far there is no proof, then I don’t blame him. If I had to put up Ms. Control Freak for 10 years I’d be ready to kill her about now. I gave up on the show before they split simply because I couldn’t stand watching her emasculate her husband on national TV any more.

  • WWP

    I give it a week until Kate becomes hysterical without a camera or reporter to talk to.

  • angela

    What they mean by “publically” is that they will just air their various greviances through other people who will in turn, feed the media. You can’t expect a media ho like kate to go without her name in the media for too long.

  • MZ. MADERA

    I THINK ITZ REALLY SAD THAT JON REALLY DOSENT CARE BOUT HIS FAMIY HES ONLY THINKING BOUT HIM SELF. KATE IS A STRONG WOMEN SHE WILL GET THROUGH THIS WITHOUT HIM I THINK ITZ BETTER IF HE JUST LEAVES IN NEVER COMES BACK .. I FEEL SO BAD 4 THE KIDS NO MORE MOMMY & DADDY … THEY WILL EVENTUALLY RESENT HIM 4 WHAT HE HAS DONE 2 HIS WONDERFULL FAMILY .. STAY STRONG KATE WE ALL LOVE U ..
