Enjoying more Jon Backlash

Here is a tidbit in TV Guide. Nothing new but still nice to see.

Jon and Kate on the fritz
By Melissa Hank
Is the ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ couple divorcing?

Could it be? Are Jon and Kate Gosselin, the original octoparents on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8, headed for Splitsville? According to rumous, you betcha.

InTouchWeekly.com reports that Jon, 31, was seen partying with girls from Juniata College in Pennsylvania on Feb. 6. Apparently he was at Mimi's martini bar when he followed the girls to a house party, where he played beer pong.

"He walked in with two girls he met at Mimi's bar," a student at the party said. "It was so cool."
Afterwards, Jon followed the revelers to Memories Sports Bar & Grill. Still drinking, he flirted with the girls and told one, "We might be getting a divorce." Yikes.


"He was dirty-dancing with several of them, making out, kissing them on their necks and mouths,” an onlooker told Star magazine.

“I thought it was rather surprising for a father with his wife and so many kids at home to be acting like this. He was all over one girl, a long-haired blond who's nearly six feet tall. He left with several of the girls, including her."

In response, Jon’s rep issued the following statement: "It is certainly hurtful for people to spread rumours and lies about us. It certainly makes me reluctant to live my life like the average person would. This has made it very clear that the simplest innocent gesture — such as taking a picture with a fan, can be taken out of context.”

As with most couples, Jon and his wife have had their share of spats and several have been captured on-camera for their reality show.

“As you can see on the show, I am not perfect, but I am a part of a loving family and couple," the statement said.

Jon and Kate’s children include eight-year-old twins Cara and Mady, and four-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel. The children were the result of fertility treatments.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 originally aired on Discovery Health, but moved to TLC for Season 3. It is one of the highest-rated series on the network and is currently in its fourth season.
Most recently, Jon & Kate Plus 8 showed the Gosselins buying a $1.3 million mansion, taking in two German Shepherd puppies and renewing their vows in Maui, Hawaii.

"It is certainly hurtful for people to spread rumours and lies about us."

-Umm... but if Jon was out partying, drinking, making out and leaving with a bunch of girls, that's more of a "fact" than fiction. Either he did it or he did not. How does his publicist think that this can be classified as rumors? It was apparently seen by many people.

"It certainly makes me reluctant to live my life like the average person would."

- Who are his "average people" that he's comparing himself to? Most "average people" his age, with his responsibilities, don't go out drinking, partying, dirty dancing, making out with people, and then leaving with a bunch of them... Like, seriously!

"This has made it very clear that the simplest innocent gesture — such as taking a picture with a fan, can be taken out of context.”

- In this case, I don't think it necessarily was. He was out drinking and partying with college kids. He's married. Grow up, man!!

Jon, man up! You made EIGHT babies with Kate. Take care of them. Obviously you have the financial means, now give them the emotional support they deserve. Quit acting like you missed out on something when you've got the best EIGHT things right in front of you.

The 8 "best things" might be in front of him. I think it's the
9th that might drive him to do these things!
