Sounds to me like someone's getting paid to talk. Relatives/friends will crawl out of the woodwork to make a dime.

Wow if that is accurate it is very sad and damaging. I can't possibly imagine what he was thinking and how he possibly thought that he could get away with that sort of an affair.

I think that would be the DR Phil house.. A good brother would find almost any other method of getting to her, if this is true, besides probably wrecking her teaching career.. but heck, maybe he got a bundle for being quoted?

Gotta say that I held no stock in the woman's denial statement and I hold no stock in the brother's claims either. One of them is obviously bold-facing lying and since I don't know either one well enough to tell? I will wait for chips to fall and hope for the kids sake that it isn't true. For me it all goes back to.... Jon should be mature enough to not put himself in compromising situations that anyone with a lick of sense could see could affect his children. Pouting about the unfairness of it all is just immature.

Ick? Nast? You've got to wonder, first of all, about someone who talks like that to a magazine and also about a brother who would spill on his sister.

All things are possible, right. He could be a cheating husband or the brother and sis could be scamming to get $$$$.....I don't know! Why do I care? The new season starts shortly are they already in the can or are they filmed in real time....in the can, right? I don't think Kate would be capable of keeping her feelings in check in front of the kids. It's a whole big mess. The good news is that infidelity doesn't necessarily mean divorce they could get counseling and work things out which imo would be the best thing that could happen to this couple. They probably should have been in counseling right after the quads were born. The stress on the husband / wife relationship was very apparent. People divorce all the time, people cheating unfortunately is not all that uncommon but since I've watched this family for several years I almost feel like it's a personal loss to me, like if a friend or neighbor got divorced.

Years ago (maybe 30) there was what was probably the very first family reality show...on PBS I think. During the run of the show a son came out of the closet and the husband and wife broke up. I'll bet one of you can remember what it was.

Thanks, I knew someone would come to my aid. Anyway, what's happening to the Gosslins isn't anything new...tv-wise. But I sure pray they are able to save their marriage.

Good question, Annie. This is such a heartbreaking mess, but I know they are believers and if they follow their beliefs they can get through this with their family intact.

OG, time flies.. it was 36 years ago that it started airing.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_American_Family and the filming began in 1971.
quote:An American Family is an American television documentary shot in 1971 and first aired in the United States on PBS in early 1973. The show was twelve episodes long, edited down from about 300 hours of footage, and chronicled the experiences of a nuclear family, the Louds of Santa Barbara, California, during a period of time when parents Bill and Pat Loud separated and Pat filed for divorce. In 2002, An American Family was listed at #32 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time list.
quote:The Louds' eldest son, Lance, was gay and occasionally wore lipstick and women's clothes. He is credited as the first openly gay character on television and has become something of a gay icon.[1] One notable moment was when Pat asked Bill for a divorce and to leave the house. Pat saying to her husband "You know there's a problem", with Bill responding "What's your problem?" was chosen as one of the Top 100 Television Moments by TV Guide.
and there were follow-ups. I don't think I have seen any of the shows, but in 73 I wasn't watching much TV at all.

I suspect the season may be "in the can". But I'd expect to see signs of strain if this was going on.

I don't think it is completely in the can, Sea. You can tell from watching the other seasons that the beginning few eps may have been in the can, but the later eps of the season were filmed while the earlier ones were airing on tv. eta: haven't you ever watched one of the shows when there was a holiday or major event, and you realized "Wow, that was just 3 or 4 weeks ago this happened".

Exclusive: Jon Gosselin tells EW 'I am not guilty of cheating on my wife' In an exclusive interview with EW, Jon and Kate Gosselin -- the stars of TLC's top-rated Jon and Kate Plus Eight -- spoke about the recent tabloid coverage that alleged the 32-year-old father was unfaithful to his wife. In the early morning hours of April 18, a paparazzo photographed Jon leaving a Pennsylvania bar with a woman who has since identified herself as Deanna Hummel, 23 (Kate was out of town promoting her latest book, Eight Little Faces). Since then, Hummel and friends of Jon have come to his defense, including a bouncer at the bar who said "there was no romantic anything" between Jon and the woman. EW: What did you think of the story and photo? Jon: It's really upsetting. I may be guilty of choosing the wrong time and place to hang out with my friends, but I am not guilty of cheating on my wife. It hurts me to see what it's done to my family, and it's scary to know that these tabloids are in town constantly following us and even paying locals large amounts of money to contribute to these negative stories. It's even gotten so bad that [one tabloid] has reached out to a youth pastor from our church, which in my eyes is completely unacceptable. Kate: It's disturbing and unfortunate that these tabloids have gone as far as they have to try and bring us down. Jon's poor judgment and irresponsible behavior has also without a doubt caused some added tension and stress between the two of us. EW: Does the tabloid story make you want to spend even less time in public? Do you feel like you have to decline future requests for fan photos for fear they may end up in the wrong hands? Jon: Our fans and the majority of viewers have been overwhelmingly supportive, but when tabloids take photos and turn them into something they are not, yes it definitely makes us hesitant to take photos with fans and go about our daily lives. We still want to live normal lives. We want our kids to have opportunities that we didn't have growing up, which is why we participated in the show in the first place. But of course it makes us think twice about how we spend our time in public. EW: Will you address how the tabloid coverage has affected your life in the upcoming season on Jon and Kate, which begins May 25? Kate: I think we will address the bigger picture, regarding the very public focus on our family and the stress it's caused in our relationship, but not necessarily any specific tabloid. EW: That said, the latest tabloid coverage should only boost ratings for the fifth season of your show. Is this comforting, or troubling? Kate: We are not concerned about the ratings right now. Our main focus is on our family and working through this. http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/05/exclusive-jon-g.html

Kate calls Jon “irresponsible” as woman’s brother says she and Jon have been having an affair Kate calls Jon "irresponsible" as woman's brother says she and Jon have been having an affair Woman says she's "just friends" with Jon Jon admits "poor judgment" about going to a bar with a woman while Kate's on her book tour "we're certainly not going to hide our imperfections" The brother of the woman who was photographed with Jon Gosselin at a bar says she’s been having an affair with Jon for three months, but the woman says her brother is lying. And Kate has finally weighed in, calling her long-suffering husband “irresponsible.” Deanna Hummel’s brother Jason told Us Weekly that, “She’s a nice girl, not a homewrecker. He is a bad liar. This isn’t healthy for her. But she is refusing to help herself, so here I am trying to help her myself. I hope this clears the air.” Jason said Jon and Deanna had sex at his house, “pretty much stay locked away like two teenagers. It was weird. He’s a grown man. … A lot of the time, it was pretty, um, gross listening to her, you know, um — how do I say this? The walls are thin. Let’s just say that. I mean, no one wants to hear his sister having sex, let alone with a married dude who’s, like, almost twice her age and who has eight kids and a maybe-crazy wife.” The magazine reports that Jon and Deanna met “met in mid-January at Chill Lounge in Reading, Pennsylvania (they sent each other $3 shots),” Jon “began relentlessly pursuing [Deanna]. By mid-February, he was coming over to their Reading house.” But Deanna, who previously said she’s “just friends” with Jon said her brother is lying. “My brother is making this all up. He has no credibility … I can’t even stomach the lies he’s saying about me,” she told People. She admits they live together but said she’s kicking him out, so “He wanted to get back at me … he knows he’s getting kicked out of the house.” She also said, “My brother is very shady. He has no job. He has a criminal background. He was charged for drug distribution. He’s on probation right now.” Rounding out the drama, Jon and Kate both talked to Entertainment Weekly. “I am not guilty of cheating on my wife,” Jon said, while Kate said, “Jon’s poor judgment and irresponsible behavior has also without a doubt caused some added tension and stress between the two of us.” The most shocking part of all of this, though, is what Kate revealed to the magazine: “We are not concerned about the ratings right now. Our main focus is on our family and working through this.” That may be the most scandalous thing she’s ever said. from realityblurred.com That may be the most scandalous thing she’s ever said. gawd of just love his sense of humor! LOL

It's all fishy to me. There really isn't one single situation where I can picture my DH alone in a car late at night with a woman I don't really know, or know very well, especially if I am out of town. You know the saying...where there's smoke... I think there have just been one too many public denials that have ended up to be true for me to completely believe Jon just yet. I do find it all fascinating.
