Jon Gosselin, everyone’s favorite father of eight, has spoken out for the first time since he and estranged wife Kate Gosselin filed divorce papers. According to Jon, he’s not the villain of this whole sordid divorce party. “I took a lot of abuse from her. I was put down,” he told ABC’s Good Morning America. “She’ll call me like, almost like a lame fish. Like I wasn’t going anywhere.”
Jon also says that Kate was hardly ever around and often left him at home with the kids. “Well, excuse me, I’m taking care of the kids. She’s on book tours, she’s doing all these things. You know, she’s gone a week. You know, comes back. Packs up and leaves again. I’m standing there like, ‘Oh, OK. Your mom’s gone again.’”
Things have obviously been sense since the couple split. Remember when he called the police on Kate when she showed up at their home during his time? “I wouldn’t let her in the gate,” says Jon. “I said I’m spending time with my kids … and she’s going to have to leave and she tried to cry it up with the cops and it didn’t work and they told her she had to leave.”
Jon Gosselin is a fascinating creature to me. He was the one I most sympathized with at the beginning of this whole divorce thing. Then he started to be ridiculous as he began dating 22-year-old Hailey Glassman and show up at all the hot parties. He’s in Las Vegas partying at Wet Republic and going to the Sugar Factory one day, but looks like the best dad as he helps his kids sell lemonade. I don’t even know whose side to pick in this divorce anymore. Do you?

At least he got the hell out instead of continually cheating like some husbands I know. He should have gotten out first though.

“Spoken out for the first time” since the divorce? First time today, maybe. Neither have them has shut their pie hole all summer long!

It’s always easy to come down on the dad in the divorce, especially when Mom starts crying. But I think the media’s been too hard on a guy who got married when he was 22, had 8 kids, then is finally getting to be a single guy for the first time in his adult life. We all make mistakes when it comes to women… give the guy a break. He’s obviously good to his kids; meanwhile, Kate’s complete bitchiness has yet to be fully exposed.

At least it looks like he has 8 lollipops, spending some of that $$ on the kids….awesome
These people are a mess

This guy is a loser shit bag. He needs to shut his pie hole and crawl back to his family and beg forgiveness. The only way for him to prove he is a real man is to finally get off his lazy ass, get a job and support his family – which incidentally he has NEVER done, Kate has.

Jon, half the stuff you are going to say in this interview is crap. Yes, Kate was verbally abusive but she wasn’t so at first. She became verbally abusive after the stress of having an unambitious, lazy husband took it’s toll. If you were a mature, driven man of 30-whatever-you-are, you would have left her and found some mature way to fill your lack luster life other than barhopping, chain smoking, chasing not-so-hot women and basically, embarrassing the crap out of your family. You are blaming her for YOU. Get a grip and take some responsibilty for yourself and your actions. No, I don’t believe she had an affair with her bodyguard. If she had, the Mr and Mrs with kids in tow wouldn’t have gone to her house last weekend for a cookout. Kate is good friends with Mrs Bodyguard. You planted that lie to try to justify for your own sorry behavior. I think this interview is going to backfire on you. You are trying to create public sympathy for yourself. I hope everyone sees thru your smokescreen and laughs the whole way thru it.

Jon complains about everything. While Kate was out promoting her book, bringing in money for the FAMILY, Jon was supposed to watch HIS kids. He refused. Now he is complaining about the kids. He didn’t mind getting his SHARE of the loot that Kate helped provide. Now that he is out of the house and not under her influence, he is running around like a puppy out of its cage, loose women, drinking, smoking, up till all hours of the night.. Instead of looking for a decent job to support his family, he complains while spending the money that was earned by Kate touring, on drinking, smoking, pool parties in Vegas, Ed Hardy shirts and a ring for Hailey, $185,000 worth. Is he spending the kids money too? While he supports his “playboy” lifestyle, Kate will be hosting The View t.v. show and looking for ways to help supplement the money coming in. She was harsh at times I agree but he was lackadaisical and got fired from his job. He has dissed her in public and continues to destroy Kate the Mother of his kids to the Media. He deserves no SYMPATHY , He deserves a swift kick in his pathetic lame fish A_ _!

Speaking from experience, I can relate to Jon Gosselin. So many husbands and fathers out there are subject to the wife’s verbal abuse. Even sometime physical abuse! When I am the only man in the family who is working hard to support the family and she does not work. I have to watch how money is spent carefully. Most importantly on the basic needs such as : Mortgage, Car Insurance, Car Loan, Taxes owed, Poperty Tax, Maintenance Fee, Electric Bills, Cable Bills, phone bills credit card bills… Need to SAVE money to put aside for rainy days such as unforeseen medicals, a place to stay when something happens to our house, or another car in case something happens. All she cares about is spending and wanting a 1 carat diamond ring and eating Abalones every day/week. And calling me a “cheap” is really unfair and cruel. WAKE UP! I am doing my best to support the family with 2 kids. I don’t cheat on her or gamble or smoke. Just work to support the family. All I get is b*tch and complain and cruel bad words. Accidents happen and she always blame things on me where it is not my fault. She does not admit to her own faults and she blames at me. She would say things that are so cruel and mean such as “You f******* idiot…” This really hurts you know…. If I was in Jon’s shoes, hell, I’d do the same! I know how he feels.
