Jon Gosselin insists he doesn't want to leave his TLC show
In an attempt to dispel a published report about his future on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus Eight, Jon Gosselin told People.com that he “never said” he wanted to leave the show. “A fan asked me, ‘Don’t you sometimes wish you could go back to a 9-to-5 job?’ [I replied] ‘Yeah, because this is 24/7 and 9-to-5-ers punch in and punch out and you have no responsibilities, ” Gosselin said.
He believes his comments were taken out of context because of someone having “overheard something that was nothing.” The father of two sets of multiples, who is divorcing wife Kate Gosselin, was photographed wearing a shirt that said “Lies, Lies.” “I just thought it was funny, because people can write anything about me,” he told People. “How can you write something about me or say something about me without actually asking me?”
