I watched about 5 minutes of Larry King with Jon and his slimy lawyer. That was about all I could stand.

All I could hear while they were talking was yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah. They are so full of it. He kept saying as soon as he hired his attorney, they started proceedings but neither of them said when this all came about. It's just a joke now.

LOL, this is the attorney who came on board after the other attorney fired Jon, I assume. === And what makes ANYONE think that TLC made all of its money from that one show? <snort> and I'm guessing if that number is remotely correct he's quoting gross income, not net. What an ass.

So Jon and his attorney plan to force Kate to stay in the marriage? Seems to me JON and Kate each filed for divorce, not TLC. And interesting that TLC says he was to be kept on his FULL SALARY with less participation.. I swear if they had changed the name of the show to The JON show he'd be thrilled to stay. I'm quite sure they can feed enough garbage to the kids to get them to say most anything.. promise them ponies, whatever.. then later blame Kate and send the ponies back to the breeder.

It appeared to me that some of the TLC crew & staff had been with the family since the show started and had a nice bond with the kids. Now, the parents are separated, daddy is carrying on like a frat boy, the dogs are gone and thanks to 'daddy dearest' close family friends are now banned from the house.

If any of you seem to recall, Jon did say when the season ended sometime around March that he didn't want to go on with the show any longer and it was Kate who said she did and in the past she ruled the roost and he never had any say. As far as the kids loosing their bond with the crew, what about them loosing the bond with their Aunt Jodi, Kate put a stop to that. I do believe that production should end while this train wreck is going on. As far as the dogs go, I do think it was wrong to take them away from the kids, but I don't think that they were being properly taken care of. Kate agreed to the dogs, and even named them, much to the kids dismay, but she never really wanted them so why is it all Jon's fault that they are gone? Jon also said that he knows that he and Kate will never be together again, but they need to start working together for the children. We all need to agree to disagree.

If Jon was able to stop the show that would mean he would no longer have much of a income. Would his girlfriend still be interested in him and any of the other women he has been involved with.

I watched the first five minutes ... gave up after hearing about the ephiphany. Why did Jon say he wanted to stop the divorce proceedings?

It's about time this show was shut down. Hope it sticks. Plenty of people raise kids on a lot less money than Kate and Jon can make or already have made. Money shouldn't be a reason to keep the kids under the cameras rule.

This has been said before but I don't anyone here or more than a tiny percentage of folks here like Kate anymore than Jon. But I know for myself that if I am discussing Jon, that tossing in a random insult in Kate's direction just to keep things even wouldn't be very mature. Wouldn't you agree? Kate is doing a good job keeping her head down, at least for the time being.

I was trapped at Cici's Pizza last night and ended up watching the whole interview. IMO Jon's lawyer is looking to be in the spotlight (and he is a very unattractive man so he should really try and avoid it instead) almost as much as Jon is. He would only allow Jon to answer questions that he had obviously prepped him for. If Jon tried to answer a question that was more of an "off the cuff" type of thing he would noticeably interrupt and lean himself over Jon. He kept avoiding questions about court proceedings and instead talked about "the court of public opinion." Well, my opinion is that they didn't help themselves much with that circus of an interview. I must say though that Jon's hair implants (paid for undoubtedly by money he earned by pimping out his children) are coming in nicely. I wish he had addressed the question of why the nicely printed sign on his (and Kate's) front fence misspelled his name...LOL...perhaps Haley, who he loves so much, wrote it for him. Speaking of things that Jon did or did not pay for, it was interesting to find out that the motorcycle belongs to TLC and not to him...and he even mentioned that he wanted that motorcycle...that came out before his concern for his children...what a disaster he has turned out to be.

The only reason he wants to delay the divorce is so that he can redeem himself as a father/man. Right now he has shown himself to be a party animal who puts himself before the kids. From this point on he can start playing the good guy, only say what his lawyer permits him to say and become the father he only paid lip service to. When they get down to the nitty gritty of dividing up their lives, he will come across better than he would at this point. I don't think these new statements about not wanting the show to continue and putting the kids first came from anything other than his lawyer showing him what Kate's lawyer wants and telling him he is in bad shape. TLC showed that they are on Kate's side in whatever Kate wants for custody and without Jon having shared custody, he's out of the money loop.

<55> I have no feelings one way or the other about Kate...I haven't cared for her actions in the past but since the divorce has been public knowledge I think she has acted with a lot of dignity and seems to be keeping her children in the forefront of her decision-making process, and I have thought that Jon's actions were out of control and certainly not in the best interests of his children. His actions and his words do not match up these last few days. If in fact he takes himself and his family out of the public view and tries to rebuild his life as a private person I might gain a lot more respect for him...but I seriously doubt that's going to happen.

I guess it does, because in reading some of the posts that are so pro-Kate it's disturbing. Kate can have her own show, books etc..but I do think it's time to take those kids out of the limelight. She can still make money without the kids (at least she thinks lol)

I am not pro-Kate or anyone else for that matter. I used to watch the show and wonder how Jon could stay married to her BUT after all the things he's done since, I find myself being very disgusted with him. He's so full of it and it's just so friggin' obvious. I find the whole situation quite sad for those kids.

"She can still make money without the kids " I have a great idea...how about Jon getting a job and making some money without the kids too!

I read that story and I was SHOCKED at the lack of professionalism exhibited by the charity organizers. THEY asked Kate to come and she agreed, waiving her appearance fee for the charity event. She asked for transportation. They evidently agreed to this request but then decided, apparently without telling Kate, that the transportation would involve her getting into a car with a strange woman. They expected her to spend 5 hours in a car with a stranger, never knowing if this woman was going to run to the tabloids with fragments of truth or outright lies. Given Kate's recent experiences and the fact that the organizers DID end up running to the tabloids, this seems to be a wise decision. In spite of the organizers breaking their end of the bargain, Kate still made it to the event by arranging her own transportation. She did this despite the fact that TLC, her employers, did not want her to go because BRAVO would be filming their own reality show there. In order to make sure she complied with TLC's demands but still be able to make the appearance she had agreed to, Kate stayed isolated from the goings on. Evidently, her bodyguard did "nudge" someone, but in a crowded venue, that is hardly unexpected. The final complaint from the organizers was that Kate did her required task and then left. What exactly was she supposed to do? Hang around so they could have more ammunition to run to the tabloids with? So let's recap...Kate agreed to appear at a charity event, waiving her appearance fee. The event decided on their own what form the transportation they had agreed to provide would be. When Kate was not comfortable with that transportation, she made her own arrangements. Kate herself lived up to her commitments, performing the duties they asked of her, despite the fact that TLC wanted her to pull out completely. <55>

I think it just shows there are so many ways to slant the facts. In one slant, kate was too good for the car. In the other way, the charity organization did not communicate. In one slant, she was too good to mingle. The other slant, there was a conflict with Bravo cameras I do think it sells more papers to slant things towards the negative. . I think this applies to all celebrities. How often do you see stories saying 'so and so is a nice guy'?

<55> I don't begrudge anyone liking her, but it's sad that Jon seems to be taking the blame for everything these days when the separation/divorce wasn't even his idea.

I don't think anyone can force Kate to stay in the marriage. I don't know PA law, but in CA, you don't need both people to agree/consent to get a divorce. You only need one person in CA. Jon wants to halt his divorce. Is he still with Hailey? Did he address that in the Larry King interview?
