A lot of hate has been dumped on mom of eight Kate Gosselin in the past year— but she isn’t a diva!
Kate Gosselin is a hardworking mother who now has to support eight kids by dancing! Would you really want to be in Kate’s high heels r ight now? I can guarantee you that Kate Gosselin wakes up exhausted and in a cold sweat every day. If you had eight young children under the age of nine — six of them sextuplets! — no husband, an expensive lifestyle and bodyguard to support (and you were dependent for your income on the ephemeral world of TV) you’d be having anxiety attacks, too!
Sure, Kate seemingly had it made back when she had a steady and healthy income frocm her TLC series Jon & Kate Plus 8. But that was before her now ex-husband Jon Gosselin blew up that dependable arrangement by refusing to allow their children on TV anymore. Their divorce left Kate with a big house, divorce lawyers’ fees, no child support from Jon and no more weekly TV paychecks. Just exactly was she supposed to do? Go back to her original career, nursing? The median income for nurses in 2009 was $64, 000. Any single mom would have a hard time getting by on that with two kids! Plus, as Kate has pointed out, she’d be dealing with 12-hour shifts.
Kate herself told People magazine: “I can not rely on the fact that Jon will be there to support the kids, so I approach it as if I’m the sole provider.”
That is not an easy place to be in life! Especially now in this recessionary world.
And listen Kate haters — I can assure you that she’s not BS-ing about Jon’s utter irresponsibility. As someone who follows the goings on of the Gosselin household, I can tell you Jon hasn’t been photographed with his kids at all since Feb 28. He’s MIA. Meanwhile, Kate’s taken on the assignment of Dancing With The Stars, reportedly for a minimum of $125,000 — which is not a TON of money for someone who CAN’T downsize her lifestyle, at this point. She has to have a nanny (two in fact, because of her DWTS travel) and she HAS to keep up appearances or she’ll never get her next gig. She can’t look desperate!
Kate Carries A Heavy Load!
So Kate’s doing her best to be a “perfect mommy.” She’s installed a dance floor in her basement so she can practice with partner Tony Dovolani at home. And that dancing has to be hard. Every other contestant who’s done the show has talked about how exhausting – physically and mentally – it is. Which means, she literally has aching feet and a brain desperately trying to memorize complicated dance steps. She ‘s flying weekly from Pennnysylvania to LA to prep and then appear on DWTS, a torturous 14-hour round trip commute. She says she’s cooking 3 or 4 days of food, labeling meals and freezing them so her kids can have “mommy meals” when she isn’t there. She’s about to have the pressure of performing before judges and millions of viewers every week. And she has to deal with press reports like the one in the New York Post’s Page Six today, calling her a “total diva.” She’s accused of “behaving frostily towards crew members,” “snubbing other contestants,” and even scaring off potential Olympic skater Johnny Weir from joining the show because he didn’t want to work alongside “icy” Kate!
Give me a break. If Kate isn’t socializing on set, it’s probably because she’s having a nervous breakdown, trying to keep her kids from melting down because their lives have been turned upside down. And really, most moms of young kids are in semi-nervous breakdown mode anyway, because raising young kids —let alone 8 — is so damn hard. And remember, Kate doesn’t exactly have a good relationship with her parents, so there’s no support coming from there. She’s very much on her own.
Call Off The Attacks!
As for Johnny Weir, I doubt he’d have turned down DWTS (or the chance to wear those outfits!) for any reason, let alone Kate.
But true or not, Kate ‘s a target. At least her dance partner Tony seems to have a little sympathy. He was seen picking up coffee and taking it to her house today, March 15th. I bet Kate doesn’t actually receive a lot of nice gestures like that. Just because Kate is famous doesn’t mean she isn’t dancing as fast as she can just to keep her head and her kids heads above water.
So stop hating her and have a little sympathy for a single working mom!

In response to that rhetorical question, “Who wouldn’t want to have fame?”, I find it sad that you desire infamy. Furthermore, it is irrational of the sympathizers to object to “haters’” comments on the grounds that the haters would make the same choices as Kate. You are implying that Kate and the haters are exactly alike, but that her choices are ok while ours are not. Suck on that, for awhile.
To sympathizers who complain that “haters” have nothing better to do than blog about Kate, well, I suppose you have nothing *worse* to do than defend Kate’s behavior. As bad @sses, you’re failures — the other team is onto your game. It’s only a matter of time before we mop up.
I’m not buying the idea that Kate has two, and only two, choices of career paths. For example, some nurses continue their education to go into anesthesiology, a lucrative profession. If Kate’s too dumb to do something like that, just say so. Don’t natter on about the drawbacks of the profession of nursing or the expense of having 8 kids. Regardless, if Kate is to ever make it big in any field, except reality television, she’ll probably have to pay her dues, first.
Pouting at the likes of Shannon Doherty is not going to get Kate very far and it might, quite possibly, get her weave yanked free of her head. (Now that, I would like to see.) The point is, all of the false attributes Kate could ever possibly project are not enough to compensate for her True Self — a woman who is, at best, average in every way except for the number of children she has. But, on her best days as a mom, she’s been known to wear goofy hats and cluck “Come and gitcher POPcorn!” at her kids…and she considers their father, childish?
Speaking of Jon, you can hate him all you want, but Jon is the father of Kate’s children because she chose him to be. Kate once summed up her attraction to Jon by saying that she liked “bad boys.” Several years and two kids after Kate married Jon, she was trying for another multiple pregnancy. That either says a lot for Jon’s love for his children — bad boy, or not — or little for Kate’s care and concern for hers, or both. And, it screams that the Press who have covered Jon and Kate have by-and-large been dumb, biased, unethical phonies who can’t be bothered to check facts — present company included.

How can she go back to work? She has 8 kids to support and they have NO WORKING FATHER. Remember?? If Daddy would not have gone partying with young girls in France, Utah, NYC, LA and Hawaii, he could have been working to make money or staying home while Kate went back to school. But that did not happen.

I am one and so is the hubs and ALL our kids. We got here from our hardworking and wise families.
Kate, has NO idea of what, REAL, ambition is. She od’ed on fertility drugs, in order to breed her way to a point where she then cheated her own state out of funds to support and care for “PROPS” she couldn’t afford. Then, she bitched and Ummmmm’ed her way through Reality TV, interviews, etc and ended up tripping over herself in another ill-fitting venue for her lack of skills…..I don’t mean DWTS…Here, I am referring to her books…LOL my bad?
Now she is making a bigger fool of herself floundering around in miles of cheap, pink fabric, complete with “Bat Wings” fluttering over kicks that look more like some form of spasticity.
These “fans” are reacting to the same, deluded mentality of “easy wealth” that catalysted “Clomp” to do what she did to begin with. Why work, when you can cheat, lie, wreck your marriage, ruin your reputation and kids lives and come out of the deal with a big house in a field and weekly trips to a small town spa. All that misery for, small beans, as far as I’m concerned.
If the twit ever wakes up and realizes the mess she made, it’ll be too late to ever go back and fix it.
Successful folks who earned their “funds & trust funds” have no respect or admiration for, “Trash,” faking their way to something that ONLY looks like wealth to those who WANT wealth, but lack the ambition to achieve it through honorable means…
If J&K would have INVESTED the early proceeds from the show, and other returns, they might NOT be struggling now and STILL having to whore themselves for a house payment….

Kate’s monthly income from TLC, ABC, Zondervan, Jon et al is three times more than what the average American family makes in one year. So this is not about money. This is about a woman who feels entitled to celebrity, who sold her kids out for celebrity and who continues clawing after celebrity no matter the toll on her children. They are confused, why does Mommy need a mansion, a body guard and nannies to raise us? They didn’t ask for any of that, they don’t need it, they need their parents. Jon is not allowed to be photographed with his kids, TLC has him under strict contract, as they hold Kate, both dumbly sold out to TLC to keep the money rolling in. Society is right, Bonnie is wrong, we can not support Kate Gosselin selling out her kids for celebrity.

Aw, look at the dumb sap attempting to understand the rationalizations of others. If only you would put half the effort into responding appropriately to the feelings of others. If only a lot of members of the press would, and then then we wouldn’t have such an irresponsible, unethical phony bunch who abuse their power and won’t do their jobs. You don’t have the luxury of saying that you merely watch a situation unfold and report on it, when you have a hand in making it happen and you are doing exactly that.

Exactly, Bonnie. these mostly female haters want Kate to stay home with her kids because they chose to do that. They treat every working mom like that because I have seen it first hand. Meanwhile, they do nothing all day except run around to malls, watch, TV and sit on the internet while waiting for their kids to get off the bus. And they think they should judge others based on their lives.

WOW!! Sounds like the war is on over here. I know on many parenting websites its always a battle between the stay at homers and the working moms. Whose a better mother, whose damaging the child, etc. But for goodness sake. It’s a personal decision, it’s a personal opinion and there’s no need to tear each apart or put each down because of your own decision or opinion. As for The Gosselin’s, everyone should be as interested and devoted to their own families and leave The Gosselin’s alone. Has anyone even considered the fact if they stop paying attention to Kate and stop giving her the attention that she seeks that she may just lose interest in being in the limelight and choose a more low profile career?

the SAHMs have to say that to justify why they are home sitting on their asses while those of us go to work everyday to support our families. Guilt never worked for me. My kids were honor roll students, excelled at their sport and were used to being on a schedule every single day. Unlike their loser peers who slept in, bothered mommy all day and were out trashing the neighborhood while mommy was in the house watching soap operas or sitting on the computer trashing Kate Gosselin.

I dislike her. Kate disrespect practically every individual with whom she comes contact. She evokes bad feelings in others, and totally fails to respond to the feelings of others.
Jon did not cheat on her. In Oct. 2008, Kate went to Jon and informed him that it was effectively over. Kate didn’t file for divorce at this time, however. They were starring in a family-oriented television series, and were well-paid for it. Since many of show’s fans were against divorce, Kate feared what might happen if the public found out about she and Jon’s separation. They decided to continue the show and hide the truth about their marriage. How long Kate would have gone on this way is anybody’s guess. But, a few months after Kate told Jon she was through with him, he began seeking the company of other women and soon this was noticed by paparazzi. This, in turn, ignited a media frenzy, and Kate decided to go ahead and filed for divorce. She didn’t bother to plead for privacy for the couple dealing with a sensitive matter, or anything like that. On the contrary, Jon and Kate kept filming their show! Kate didn’t consider Jon’s dating a sensitive matter. She was upset that paparazzi nailed him.

All anyone ever saw was footage of what TLC wanted to show…so your “research” means nothing.

The Kate haters are all the same. They are all ill and taking a lot of different medicines. They are mostly SAHM’s even though they have older, teen aged children. They do not work. They have working husbands who are impatient with them and have to time for their silly Kate-hating. They blog ALL DAY LONG every day, even while speaking of their own sick children who they are not attending. Many of them home schooled their kids. Check out the RWA blog. They have nothing better to do except complain about their illnesses and doctor bills and husbands who have not time for them. They are miserable women and they want Kate to be ill, fat, old, ugly, miserable old cows like them. The “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” mentality. Thank goodness, Kate did not become one of them.She actually got off the couch, turned off the computer, put down the junk food and got a life.

How wrong you are, TROLL. (Not Irene)
You eavesdrop on others chats and are coming here to say everybody who dislikes kate is a SAHM, with older kids who’s husbands are irritated?
None of that is true for me.
Do you like when people say ALL KATE fans abuse their kids, sell pictures of their kids, emasculate their husbands and overspend on their credit cards trying to buy all the clothes Kate wears and keeping up with her hairstyles?
They also “stalk” the people who don’t like kate. Follow them from blog to blog (see above) and ignore their kids to defend Kate on every site?
All the Kate fans also like to take “haters” names and post everywhere, with those names but against the beliefs of that person. Am I correct, “Irene?”
Now why don’t you continue to read the Kate-love blogs and stop obsessing over what other people do or others who have friendships at a small site that you happen not to like. SO WHAT if they talk about kids that might be ill. DID YOU EVER HEAR OF SUPPORT?? That’s what friends do for each other. Stop reading it if you find it so pathetic but good on you for sending them more posters, hits, and money for the owner. Way to protect your Queen.

Kate sympathizers are narcissistic just like Kate is, right down to the little False Selves they project on the internet, the fake names. They project False Selves to others in order to elicit interest and attention that they would not normally receive. From the reactions to the fake IDs, they can cull bits of information about “themselves”, and use it to inflate and stabilize their self-esteem (ROL-dwellers are doing the same thing.) Their self-image is thus completely biased.

Bonnie, are you aware that many posters are using others screen names and naming blogs they frequent? They are bringing some very ugly blog c*ap to your space and I wanted to let you know.
The Kate fans are bringing screen names and first names of the Kate criticizers. You may defend Kate but do you promote posting people’s names because their opinion differs from yours?
IreneFromZblog, 10dolls, DianeW, AndreaSnarkKip, JenniferJupiter, just wondering, its about the kids, are all from other blogs that the Kate fans don’t like. I don’t even think those woman have seen this blog but their names are being used and I thought, as the blog owner, you should be made aware of how protective and aggressive Kate’s fans can be.

There really are not a lot of people who hate Kate Gosselin. Most are ambivalent (look it up haters), or they actually like her.
There is a handful of nasty and bored women who hang out on the internet looking for places to bash Kate. This is why you see so much negativity towards her. They spew their vile comments wherever they can, using multitudes of different usernames – some have made it their full time jobs. If you visit one of their hate blogs you will see how irrational yet disgusting they are.
Funnily enough, many of them profess to be Christian. I guess they’re too dumb to see the hypocrisy there.

I agree with Bonnie. Kate
Its about time someone sees Kate’s side of the story. She has to find work where she can. If anyone know any thing about nursing ,you then know it is not a 9 to 5 job. After taking care of your patients, you then have to give reports to incoming staff, do your charting, re-stock and many,many other things before you can go home to your children.It is difficult to take care of your family with only a nursing income. As for her to give birth to six babies at onetime was her choice. How would you have to decide which one of your babies live and which ones you would terminate. So get off the band wagon about her having so many kids and give her some credit for keeping her family off welfare. Her husband wasn’t any help when they were married and is not helping now. She is someone with a lot to take care of . so back off and leave her alone. She is doing what she has too.

Kate is a narcissistic fame whore of the worst dimension. Nothing will ever satisfy her and she will eventually turn on her children as soon as she does not need them for her success. That is her pattern: use people for what she wants and needs and then toss them away. She has no soul.

I find it interesting that actresses like Angelina Jolie are not critized for their lavish lifesytles and large families. She and Brad Pitt travel for their work. Sometimes you have to hire sitters when you work.
She is not perfect but is trying to do the best she can with the life they have. With the real estate market as it is, selling is not reallly an option. The haters make security a necessity and Jon shows no signs of aquiring gainful employment any time soon.
He took an extended vacation from the family, so she really can’t trust him to help out with his own children at this point. He may want more time with the children simply to have a roof over his head.He hasn’t been seen with the most recent girlfriend in some time and lost his NY apaprtment due to his own fiscal irresponsbility.
TLC can’t be excited to jump right back into J&K+8 in any form considering Jon’s unpredictable behavior.

Sorry, Bonnie, but NOTHING you say can change my mind about this B*tch! Also, you mentioned, “for someone who CAN’T downsize her lifestyle….” WHY? Everyone in this country has had to downsize in one way or another. I’ve had to let my vehicle go back to the bank when I lost my job. I now walk wherever I have to go. I have never once asked for anything because of unfortunate situations in my life. She made the choice to have all these children. My suggestion to her would be to swallow her pride, make amends with her family, scale back and stop with all the glamor. Nails, hair, teeth, plastic surgery, etc.

what has Kate asked for other than privacy? She doesn’t steal money, she earns it legitimately in the entertainment business. Many others do the same. How do you propose that she downsizes? Look how difficult it was for them to unload their former residence. Should she take a significant loss and selling the current house? And then organize a move of 9 persons as a single mother who is at the same time working to pay the bills? Should she quit working and ask the government for welfare cheques times eight? Don’t be ridiculous, you are just jealous! As for the nails, hair, teeth, etc, they are part of her “work uniform” would you begrudge a factory worker spending a significant amount to buy some work-safe boots? NO…in order to be a television personality, one has to maintain a certain image, which is what Ms.Gosselin is doing. All this jealousy is probably causing you problems. You could have searched for a job online in the time you used to search up Kate, and then applied in the time it took you come on here and spew your venom. Get a life!

I don’t think it’s honest to go into churches and lie about financial hardship, take “love offerings” from hard working people while behind the scenes you are purchasing a 1.2 million dollar home.
Selling her children’s privacy is also not a legitimate way to make a living. I wonder you kate defenders were raised to think she’s a good mother. She’s never with her kids and if she is it’s either to abuse them or for a photo opportunity.
Keep drinking the kool-ade.

How do you know all what you are saying is true? Do you believe everything you read on the internet. Are u that gullible.

Do you ever do research?
Whether or not I go to the churches is not the issue.
She went into GOD’S house and LIED.
People dug in their pockets and threw 10s and 20s in the love offering basket. I’ve talked to people who’ve been at these events. Kate also sold pictures of the kids for $20. Cash only, thank you.
This isn’t about being gullible. If you’ve followed this story for any amount of time you’d know this is common knowledge.

No crazy lady, I did not do my RESEARCH on a reality show about two losers with 8 kids. Sorry.

So you’d rather blindly defend a person because they are pretty. Nice.

Bitter much Donna? You and a whole bunch of other people lost their jobs, their homes and their money. what does that have to do with Kate? It seems that you are resentful that Kate found a way not to go down the path you did. If she doesn’t have to downsize, why should she? The kids love their house, why wouls she get rid of it? And I believe “THEY” made the choice to have those children. I gues the hair, nails and teeth bother you, but those are her choices. And how much of that is given to her, free?

Kate’s not fooling us. It’s not the kids’ house. Kate won’t even get the kids A CELL PHONE. Kate described her house this way, “mine all mine”.

Oh my gosh, I feel the same as Bonnie. I am, and always have been on Kate’s Team. I admire her for taking the high road in alal the termoil! Her X husband is just a wimp, sorry, but he is and probably always will be. He may finally realize that he should have stayed put! Good luck to Kate and keep the faith, kate! We love to your your kidos on TV, but always remember how fortunate you are!
