Robert files Answer to Kate's lawsuit

Robert's attorney, Martin Garbus
Author Robert Hoffman has hired legendary First Amendment attorney Martin Garbus to represent him. His Answer was filed yesterday.

Garbus is asserting the defenses of statute of limitations, failure to state a cause of action, and first amendment protections under opinion, factual statements and matters of public concern. Garbus has defended Nelson Mandela, Cesar Chavez, Robert Redford, Michael Moore, and numerous major First Amendment cases including the famous Ashton v. Kentucky case in 1966, now in every Constitutional Law textbook.

Here is his answer, courtesy of Jon's attorney Shawn Tuma:

PatK, when I first started to dislike TFW wayyyy back when was when I noticed she was a blamer. Everything was Jon's fault, the kids' fault, low blood sugar's fault, everyone else's fault but her own. She struck me as incredibly immature for frankly not exactly a young mom. She was almost in her 30's. At that point in your life to still be whining like a 19 year old who hasn't learned to suck it up and own your mistakes was not attractive! I think I would have been more sympathetic had she been eight years younger. Terrible role model for women.

Susan said...

Admin, I have not been as exhausted as that woman since i turned 67. She is a phony. And she still hurts those children. I know. Always knew. She is more than abusive. She is a monster. Soon, some will tell. Soon.
The reason that witch has been bulletproof is money. Kate has sold them to highest bidder. And she will never stop. It is so sad that this lawsuit, (thank you JON and ROBERT) at this late date, so late for the kid to have ANY relief. Dear Lord, how has this happened? Ask Jodi,ask her brother, ask Jon? Why were eight lives sacrificed? The almmighty dollar. Pure and simple.

Susan said...

The Gosselin bitch is done. She cannot get away with anything any longer. She is ugly, inside and out. Who will touch her? Only the leper shows that are dying on vine. Lepers.

Meagler said...

I think #superfunlawsuit should be the hashtag we use and my reasoning is:


When the world was struggling with the storm of the century and Kate was enjoying her time with her kids, she tweeted #superfunsandy


Now Kate is struggling with the storm of her life and the world will enjoy watching the lawsuit, it only seems reciprocal we tweet #superfunlawsuit

And when the shakedown of the Khaters falls flat, what will she blame THAT on?

Tucker's Mom said... 101
Watching this go forward would be *fascinating*, especially our discussing it here. But, what's best for everyone, especially the kids, is to drop the lawsuit and somehow, some way, get Jon and Kate to bury the hatchet.
****
Tucker's Mom, I agree completely with you. Unfortunately, one of the two parties involved is not a normal, rational person. Can you or anyone here remember even one instance where Kate put her children, or even one of her children, before herself? Because I cannot. What comes first and foremost is what Kate wants. The children's wants and needs don't even come second, or third. They seem to fall somewhere near dead last.

So to hold out hope that she and Jon would both behave like rational adults whose first wish is their childrens' best interests is sadly, not based on fact.

I believe Kate does not have the mental or psychological ability to be anything but extremely selfish, self-centered, and totally lacking in any normal maternal emotion of protectiveness toward her children. It's just not hardwired into her, for whatever reason. I doubt there is any amount of counseling, or medication, that could set her on the right track.

I don't fault you or anyone who still holds out hope, but I don't share in that hope. I think the only thing that will happen is Kate will lose or be forced to dismiss this lawsuit, pretend it never happened, and go on to try to demonize Jon and Robert in any way she can. The problem is the further she gets into her unreal world, the scarier it gets.

fidosmommy said...

I completely understand not having the maternal instinct. It is not a crime or a sin to be lacking that - UNLESS YOU CHOSE TO HAVE CHILDREN and worked with doctors to get them. Then it becomes a tragedy, IMO.

-----------------

Go to barnesandnoble to see the reviews.

To sum up the reviews: it seems that it is all about dumping canned goods loaded with sodium to the recipes. Hey, I'm all for good, fast and easy recipes but they have to be heart healthy too.

The other issue being mentioned is that it is more of a photo album of the kids versus a cookbook.

Meagler said...

I know that Milo and msgoody2shoes21 read here, so I find it very interesting that not one of them has made a comment about the MTd from Jon, and Rogerts Answers filed.

Wasnt it during TFW's TLC high powered laywer days, that emails would be sent when Kate has been a dweeb and did something stupid, they would tell her to just ignore and fart...errr..tweet or speak unicorns and rainbows?

Well that has got to be what they are doing now....

PatK said...

Yessiree, Kate didn't see THIS train a-comin'. Thought she still had what it takes to steamroll over people.

Those days are long gone, doll. But you and your six delusional fans can reminisce about what #superfunlawsuit "could have been" for years to come. *snicker*

Is there any way to find out how many books have gone to print for The Pioneer Woman's soon to be released cookbook?
50K for Kate's seems very pie in the sky, to me. I can't imagine what would make HCI print that many.
What am I not getting here?
Kate's prior book sold nowhere near that.

Jumping In said...

Kate continues on, seemingly immune to any and all detractors because she has the likes of Katie Couric knocking at her at her door. Combined with upcoming appearances on the TODAY show, a few entertainment slots, after her People cover and she's flying high! Jon and Robert lawyer up, so what...she's too busy to notice, and too dumb to care. She truly believes her own lies.

TFW feels bullet-proof because she measures her life in increments of fame, the only measurement that matters in her twisted view of life. As long as the entertainment industry keeps her relevant, she is winning in her mind. Besides, she has 'the single mother of 8' story to hide behind, it's always worked before!

Anyone new reading here might wonder about some of the terms.
TFW = The Former Wife
TFMJG = The Former Mrs. Jon Gosselin
Ms Kreider = Katie Irene Kreider = TFW
______________
Thank you JoyinVirginia. I am not new, been here since I heard about this site on Z on TV. I just haven't been here much this year.

I thought TFW meant The F-ing Witch.(lol)

~~~~~~~~~~~
Is it possible that WHEN her lawsuit is lost or forced to dismiss that there can be a court order of sanctions against her, ordering her to leave Jon and/or Robert alone? I suspect the only thing TFMJG would listen to would be the threat of huge monetary fines if she violated the court order. Someone please tell me that is possible!

Jon gave an interview and never once used her name. He called her ''my former wife'' every single time. I had been using KK, because Jon and the children are Gosselins, but she is not. On this blog, we started using TFW, and TFMJG. I don't know about the others, but every time I see TFW or TFMJG, I think of it as supporting Jon.

Meagler said...

Somebody please explain to me....

HCi tweeted on Sept 17 that Lovee is in the mix had been sent out to all resellers and should be received soon. Okay, that makes sense, but then today they tweet they are getting excited FOR the publication of TFW's book???

How can it be published already yet yet to be published???


I am sooo confused 0-o

Sleepless In Seattle said...

In looking at some of the timelines of Kate's fans, I am fascinated that they believe that they have a personal relationship with celebrities. The psychological aspect of it is so interesting. Kate, of course, seems to use these fans when she wants something, They respond, and in doing so they then believe that Kate owes them.

But some of them don't tweet Kate exclusively. What about the other celebrities they tweet? Without the encouragement of the celebrity, how do they get to that point? Do they just keep tweeting away, believing that with each tweet they become closer to the celebrity?

For example, this Kate fan apparently wants to be best buddies with Amy Roloff:

xxxxxxxx
@amyroloffCF I'm also packing up my apt this week!I'm trying to fit everything in-I will let you know later when my move-in date is,soon!

The same applies to the Uggs lady, who tweeted Kate that she is there for her, thanked her for all she did for her, calls her "my buddy Kate," while at the same time wanted to meet up with another celebrity in New Jersey, and called Miss Pennsylvania (Miss America pageant) HER Miss PA....tweeted Sherrod (?) about his penis show, and tweeted Lara Spencer (GMA) and told her to wish Miss PA a happy birthday for her. Kate's fans frequently do the same thing...telling Kate to say hi to the twins, sending them jokes to tell the kids, etc. etc. If you were a celebrity wouldn't this get old fast -- all of these strangers thinking that they know you on a personal and intimate level?

Do these fans ever get over it, or if ignored, does it get to the point where it is beyond creepy, if not downright sinister?

Amy said...

If someone had written a book about me that was untrue and that someone claimed I threw my personal papers, hard drive in the trash, I would sue them. Go to court to straighten it out as I would not want my 8 kids to have to live with that. Hoffman shouldn't have written the book, Jon should have left everything alone, just ran off with the women. He never fought for those kids. So why this book. Who does it hurt? The kids, now the lawsuit to straighten things out. About time the kids were #1 priority wise with both parents. But I would certainly sue Hoffman for that book. He didn't even make money from it, like Karma, bad things you do come back to haunt you. When couples can't be married, just walk away and do the best for your kids.

Kirkland and others -- Amazon doesn't allow reviews for books while they're on pre-order, and they still have TFMJGs book listed as a pre-order. However, they do allow forum discussions on the book. There are a couple of forum discussions on "Love Is In the Mix", and they include a number of scathing comments and unofficial reviews. You can find them at http://www.amazon.com/Why/forum/Fx3DLLNYLDJOVYG/ and click on the one(s) you're interested in reading.

My very favorite part is paragraph 101 Fourth Affirmative Defense, that any statements about TFMJG are constitutionally protected speech.
My opinion of TFMJG was that she was boring. Now my opinion has progressed to active dislike and TFMJG with her actions is responsible for that. When she stops trying to control Jon and Robert, then I will go back to being merely bored by her. This is my constitutionally protected speech. And my dislike is 100% result of TFMJG antics, not influenced by anyone else.

The reaction of an another posters: " The veggies and pasta dish looks like it was served with a side order of vomit." LOL!

I can't find whether there is a federal rule for the briefing schedule for 12b6 motions. This seems to be governed by local court rules in other courts but I can't find their local rules.

The average briefing schedule is usually anywhere from 10-30 days. I think it was Millicent who explained and I agree that they will get an opportunity for a written response, then Tuma will get the final reply, then there will be a ruling. I'm not sure if they can request an oral argument as well on it. It's also possible they will be given leave to amend their complaint to fix any defects. Complaints are treated very liberally at 12b6 motions aren't usually granted, but never say never.

Jon gave an interview and never once used her name. He called her ''my former wife'' every single time. I had been using KK, because Jon and the children are Gosselins, but she is not. On this blog, we started using TFW, and TFMJG. I don't know about the others, but every time I see TFW or TFMJG, I think of it as supporting Jon.
**********************************
It just occurred to me that there was one episode where Jon called Kate his wife and she got mad and he said something on the lines of "She hates when I call her my wife". It was during one of the interviews segments. I wonder if that is why he referred to her as TFW although I like some of the other posters suggestions.

Kate's camp will ask that the motion be denied, or in the alternative, ask to amend the complaint to cure any claimed defects. One thing to keep in mind here - with this type of motion, the judge will not resolve factual disputes. In other words, he won't decide if Kate's timeline/facts is more believable than Jon's. He will look at Kate's allegations, and determine, assuming they are true, do they state a claim under the particular statute or legal theory. Jon may win on some of his claims,but don't expect a complete dismissal. The only way I see that happening is if the federal claims are dismissed and only state claims remain. Then the whole case would likely get tossed and Kate would have to re-file the remaining claims in state court.

Exactly. This can be confusing but the judge has to assume the facts as plead are true for purposes of 12b6, no matter how outrageous.

However I think Tuma did a good job of explaining even if true there is no cause of action, mostly due to SOLs. SOLs is a great defense here because it doesn't matter how awful and terrible the allegations are if you blew the SOL you're SOL. hehe. :)

Jon hunted down on his private property by a photograph and pulled out his gun and fired. He looks scared in the photos. How does he know it's just a photographer hunting him down on his private property and not someone after him and the kids?

This whole thing is just such mess. Such a mess. Maybe his children were back at the house, which further scared him. Given that Kate had them last weekend for Katie Couric and the trampoline bribes, it's probably his weekend. With everything that is going on, I can't feel sorry for that photographer for Jon getting upset. There's a lot of people out there who could be dangerous, but Jon seems to be the only one who realizes this of the two. There could very well have been threats toward him over the last few days given how upset him fighting back has made people.

Who knew we would still be here all the time.

Under Pennsylvania law you can shoot at trespassers when you fear for your safety. He has been very clear in the past he fears for the safety of his children from these creeps which is why he got the gun in the first place.

-----------

TMZ says that Jon allegedly fired his gun. But who is the person who told them that Jon fired his gun? The photographer that followed him to his house, who would also be the one who gave TMZ the pictures. There's only her word that Jon ever fired his gun.

The article says that she was going to file a police report. What is she going to tell them? "I stalked Jon and followed him to his house to get pictures of him, and he pulled out a gun?"

Jon has every right to protect his home and his children, especially if a stranger is following him to the place where his children may be.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Jon can't afford fancy security gates and bodyguards. It's just him with the kids and the only thing between them and those who seek to harm them is that firearm. And I really think he has those kids right now based on Kate's tweets.

I cannot imagine how frightening it is to have someone following you onto your secluded property. It could be anyone with any intentions. Yet another reason not to choose the celebrity lifestyle, creeps hunting you down on your private property.

Agree, police report is going nowhere. He has every right to pull his gun on a trespasser. Self-defense laws were made for this very thing.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Yes much like anything else Jon is expected to lay down and die whenever anyone attacks him. Be it a lawsuit, a vicious parental alienator, a trespasser who could very well be endangering the lives of himself and his children. Just lay down and die. He's clearly had enough, and I'm glad. If anything happened to those children, it would be his fault for not protecting them. Lose-lose situation.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I thought too Jon had said he had been able to keep where he lives a secret from the paps. He must be devastated they've found out now. The one place his kids could have peace is outed.

So who outed his address? Hmmm. Or the pap/stalker followed him home? Creepy.

Actually it gives them too much credit to call him a pap. Most of the paps in this situation always respected private property. So, stalker.

Ex Nurse said...

NGal51 and Blue Moon--thanks for your support. i am going to take one last shot, because I think it may be important for the defense.

Ally-- Thank you for that timeline. If you have a source for that 4/28 date of his banishment, would appreciate a link. However, that still doesn't resolve the conflict with the timeline in the motion. 

Either RH's dates are inaccurate,  or the motion's timeline is inaccurate. I guess I didn't consider that the attorney filing the motion got the dates confused. But, I just can't see how both can be right. 

The motion said a) that the specific backup was made in mid-April 2010, and 2) that Jon was required to move out when the divorce was finalized--which was in December 2009. 

Therefore, the motion is, in essence, saying that the backups were made within a few days after the divorce was finalized. How can both of those thing be true, since  there is a 4 month gap between those two events? If the disks were, in fact, made earlier, why would the motion go into all of that detail about the April 2010 timeline of the failed hard drive, and the labeling of the disks? 

Even with the line that Jon still had access, the dates don't work as the motion reads right now. That is why I thought that the dark and stormy night was in December 2009.

Here are the direct quotes. The edits do not change the meaning, or take out meaningful information. I added the relevant dates in parentheses.

"On or about April 2010, Jonathan observed the hard drive of the Dell Computer was failing...Jonathan created two copies of the DVDs, one for himself and one for Kate. 

Once the divorce was final (Decemer 2009), Jonathan was required to move from the Apartment... When Jonathan moved from the Apartment, he left Kate’s copy of the backup DVDs (made in April 2010) in the Apartment....The following day Kate called Jonathan and asked if he would be returning for any other items left in the Apartment and he responded that he was not and she could discard the items as she saw fit. 

For all of my non-supporters, there is probably nothing that will change your opinion of me. But, what drives most of my criticisms when the discussion turns to Jon, is because the facts often contradict the underlying assumptions. When the lawsuit was filed, I was the one who brought the link to the Santoro's statements about the hacking. I am very consistent that logic has to support the facts. Argument and debate are in my religious culture, which spends endless hours debating the meaning of a single word in the Torah. My rabbi has said, that Jew never can really "my point is...", because the more truthful thing to say is "my points are...", and then there is "what are your points". If everyone agreed with everything, I wouldn't bother with this blog, because, for me, it would be boring.

If I were a sheeple, I can promise you that I would be driving them crazy, too.

So the pap is going to file charges??!! She trespassed, she stalked him, she was on his private property. I don't advocate guns but he is in his legal right to bear arms and defend himself.

Anyone who wanted to read my reviews, it was mentioned you can't review on amazon yet. Correct. At the bottom of the page for love is in the mix are discussion boards. There are 4 boards. The one titled, "why?", is where I left my comments. When reviews are able to be published, I have mine ready to go. This has nothing to do with how I feel about Kate, it's about the quality of the product published. Sadly, plagiarism, canned casseroles, broccoli, applesauce and TLCs traditions don't make for a good book. Lastly, anyone that names their cookbook with their own name in the title thinks way too much of themselves and clearly had no one editing their work.

@MiloandJack: How many times has @Kateplusmy8 been swarmed by paps rt up in her face? Never a need 2use a gun!! Other more civil ways 2deal w/intrusion!

@MiloandJack: @Kateplusmy8 I don't think rural PA is the #WildWildWest & a female pap is hardly going 2pose a physical danger 4a healthy able bodied male!

@MiloandJack: EX just gave Kate something else 2worry abt now as she heads out of town working 2support his kids! #GunGateNumberTwo!! :(
========
Both Jon and TFW were "swarmed" by paps back in the day. Jon handles himself well and TFW had rat claws to handle things for her. This was a bit different. This pap stalked him by following him off main roads to his home. As someone said on twitter, how would he know whether or not she had a gun and looking through the windshield of a car would make it more difficult.

Being a woman doesn't make her any less dangerous than anyone else Milo. You never know what type of physical threat anyone may cause you. And again, how was Jon to know whether or not she had a gun? TFW should be glad that he's protecting his kids - even if it's only protecting their privacy so they're not photographed.

The pap was in the wrong in this case. Let's see if TFW cancels her "media tour" to remain home with the kids. Face it Milo, TFW isn't going to give this a second thought unless it means publicity for her.

Do we know for sure that after he moved out when the divorce was finalized, that he no longer stayed over when it was his turn to have the kids? If he made the copies in April 2010 I don't think he'd be anywhere IN that house or apartment without TFW's consent. Just because he "moved out" doesn't mean, at THAT point in time, he was totally banished from the konpound. He has HIS copies, Hoffman has TFW's copies that SHE tossed out.

I don't about this Sherrod guy, but there is a show called Puppetry of the penis: two naked guys pulling and tugging at their penis and balls transforming them in animals, funny faces, edibles, etc. Like clowns twisting balloons at birthday parties. The puppetry show was a regular for years here at Montréal's Just for Laughs Festival. Never been to their show, but I've seen clips on the local news, would you believe?

Kate's book on Amazon specifically says there are no discussions about the book. So maybe they deleted all the discussions? Not sure what is going on.

The sheeple are crucifying Jon on twitter. Especially Milo.

TMZ only has this photographer's side of the story. How do we even know that this person was even a photographer, or was even alone? The person told TMZ that they were going to file a police report. Wouldn't you do that first, before calling TMZ and giving them a picture and story?

The only thing we know for sure is that Jon had a gun because of the picture. We don't know if he even fired it, or if Jon followed her back to the main road. As I said, we only have one side of the story.

On another note-I bet ROL is fuming that this person didn't contact them!!

TFW would wear one of her bikinis, shriek, cry, stomp and wildly wave a gun if she thought it would gain her some media coverage.

handinhand said...

And just when the scales may have been starting to tip a bit Jon's favor. The comments on many of the the sites that carried his ET interview were a mixed bagged of pro/anti, but much more positive than the scathing comments left on articles about Kate. She called it just about right when she lamented to Tony D. that 90% (99?) of the public doesn't like her.
And now this TMZ story. For the life of me I don't know why he puts himself out there to be skewered for days (and in this case possibly stalked) for giving interviews like that. Nothing good ever comes of it. I'll say it again, he'll never win in that arena. No amount of money is worth it.

Ally said...

Regarding Admin 74...

If Jon and Robert win on SOL, it will not be good news for them or us, because they will have lost in the court of public opinion. That will allow Kate to claim that she in fact WAS harmed by Jon and Robert but they only got off because of a timeline. That is not good and not what we really want. If that happens, Kate will still be claiming Jon did illegal and wrong things to her, which is not true. We really want the win for Jon and Robert to be based on, they did nothing illegal, Kate has no proof of any wrongdoing and you can't claim illegal activity because you erroneously threw your lies in the trash!

What if he did have his kids there and something happened? They'd blast him left and right for not protecting them. He can't win for love nor money.

If Kate did that, you would heap praise upon praise on her, call her a Mommabear, and say how she had to do it to protect her kids.

Again, I wonder how you would react if you had been in that same situation.

On the topic of Jon, if someone was taking the pictures of Jon, who was driving the car? Seems to me there may have been more than one.

Paula said...

Let me get this straight "Milo"...Kate abuses her kids and that's seems to fine and dandy with you. A total stranger appears on Jon's private property where his children may be and he, Jon, does what he feel he needs to do to PROTECT and that's wrong?

Milo, you are one screwed up person.

Exactly. What did the sheeple expect him to do? Ask for her credentials -- her press pass? Check out her ID first? He had no idea if someone else was in the car. If the person wanted a picture, why not take it when he left the restaurant? If she followed him, she was stalking him. You get what you get and you don't get upset, especially when you're on trespassing on private property. Maybe she was hoping that he'd invite her in for a cup of coffee or a beer. Surprise!

the article said she followed him

It all went down yesterday in Beckersville, PA when a photog (not ours) followed the reality star home from his new waiter's gig ... trying to snap photos of the cabin where Jon lives.

The photog fessed up ... she followed him off the main roads and onto dirt roads ... but assumed it was a public road and not private property.

We're told as soon as she started snapping away ... Jon made an aggressive b-line for her ... then pulled a gun out of the back of his pants.

The photog says Jon started yelling at her for trespassing ... then fired off a warning shot.

White Organza- I was just telling a co-worker about those guys last week, but couldn't remember what the show was called. I saw them online (can't recall where, it was years ago) and while it is not for everyone, for sure, I was howling. There's nothing particularly pornographic about it; reminds me more of what little boys might do if left to their own devices. I vividly recall one of them forming (is that the right word?) a hamburger out of his, um, stuff.

Ugh, Jon. Not your fault, but I felt better when Kate was the one hanging herself in the public eye. Like someone said up-thread, even when he does the right thing, he can't win.

Milo, you moron. With the vile, Jon-haters on Twitter who is to say that this person wasn't some deranged hater wishing him to be in a coma or nailing him to a cross upside down? You just don't get it, do you? Better to be perceived as a loose cannon than a dead one.

====

What!!? I remember somebody wishing he was in a coma, but nailing him to a cross upside down? That is demented. I'd be chasing stalkers off my property too.

Kate will now be saying See this is what I had to put up with, all the time wishing she could have that kind of exposure. If I were her I'd have five guard dogs on my property. That gate at the front only stops cars from coming in. The rest of the place doesn't look that secure.

Smoochie said...

I have been followed once before and it is extremely scary. You have no idea why someone is following you, what their intentions are, if they have a weapon, etc. I tried unsuccessfully to lose them until I drove into a police dept. parking lot!

How is Jon to know that someone stalking & following him in an unknown car, off the main roads, the side roads and all the way home onto his private property, is a photographer and means him no harm? After all the vile stuff Kate's fans have tweeted to him and harm they wished upon him he on public forums, why would he think it's innocent? He finally is standing up & defending himself, annoying the Kate fans and as unhinged as some of her followers are, I would be worried for my and my family's safety too!

When that Polly chick went to the corn maze where TFW was filming the sheeple had a fit that it was stalking, harassment, etc. That was in a public place, with a film crew, the owners permission, plenty of other people around and she didn't make contact with any of them.

This situation is 180 degrees different, yet, instead of praising Jon for protecting himself and family and condemning the stalker, who admitted she did it, they're accusing him of being a wild man and fearing that he would hurt the children... WTF is wrong with them?

Ex Nurse (102)
Thank you for spelling out exactly what you were referring to with the discrepancy. I was taking for granted the idea that Jon moved out at the time of the divorce (Dec 09), meaning this was no longer his home, and that he returned in April to move out what was left of his stuff. I did not read the text as literally as you did, but I agree that the way you are seeing it, there are two move out dates with no clear explanation for the difference.
I believe RH spelled out the 4/28/10 date in his book, but I can't look it up because it's on my husband's Ipad, and he's using it to watch cat gifs.

Ally said...

Ex Nurse 102...

I will do my best to help you understand what you believe are conflicts in the timeline. Your last post helped me to understand where you were confused. Jon and Kate signed their divorce papers in December 2009, but the divorce was not finalized. They had a custody dispute. Until a custody dispute is resolved, technically the divorce is not finalized. I know because I went through a divorce so I am up on this stuff. Once they settled their custody battle in April, 2010, he "officially" moved out and no longer had his custody time at the house. Remember Kate sobbing all through DWTS? That was the custody crap. Also, I read Roberts book which has a detailed journal during early 2010, when he sat outside her house and detailed the daily life. He noted Jon's custody weeks, when Kate would leave and return (gone for 2 weeks at times). I think you are interpreting December 2009 as complete divorce finalization and it was not. They were legally divorced in December 2009 but because of custody disputes, divorce is not final until all aspects are resolved, in this case the children and it was finalized in April 2010. April 28, 2010 was in Roberts book as the dark and stormy night. Which makes sense. They settled custody in April. I hope this helps you understand that there is no timeline discrepancy. Maybe the wording the attorney used confused you. But there is definitely not a timeline discrepancy.

White Organza said...

Ex-nurse, I really like you and I do think your critical opinions and observations very often bring interesting angles to the discussions on this blog. But in this particular case, you are reading things that are simply not there in the court document.

Specifically when you add the parenthesis "(made in April 2010)" in the following excerpt : "Once the divorce was final (December 2009), Jonathan was required to move from the Apartment... When Jonathan moved from the Apartment, he left Kate’s copy of the backup DVDs (made in April 2010) in the Apartment."

All that Jon says in his court document is that he left copies of the back-ups DVDs. At that specific date, (2009) those back-ups were most probably the ones described in this paragraph: "Jonathan regularly backed up the hard drive of the Dell Computer and the backups were saved to CD ROM or DVD disks." And those are probably also the ones found by RH.

From what I get from document presented by S. Tuma, if the April 2010 final back-ups are mentioned, it's to clarify that "Jonathan has not wrongfully access any computer, online accounts, or telephone belonging to Kate"... since at that date he was still allowed in the house to see his children and that the DELL computer was his.

And that is why I can't find anything fishy about Jon's deposition. Because I, too, I am very consistent that logic has to support the facts. ;)

This being said, I like your feisty spirit, Ex-Nurse. This blog wouldn't be the same without your contribution.

And this is my final post on the subject, I promise!

So the photographer who was trespassing while stalking Jon is going to file a police report today but before doing that, sold the picture to TMZ. I hope the police question the priority here.

Smoochie (126)
Very good comparison to bring up: Polly at the corn maize. Shuure, SHE was a major threat, but a complete stranger in a car on a private and secluded dirt road following you home is no problem. If the pap never got out of the car, Jon may not have even realized it was a woman or a photographer.
You also reminded me that I was once followed while out on our local bike trails (6 miles through the woods). I just couldn't shake this guy, either by jogging faster or coming to a complete stop. I was terrified. I had my keys in hand, thinking I was going to have to jab his eyes out. I was just waiting for the moment. Fortunately, the bike path met up with the road and a park ranger came by. He sure took off then! BTW, I filed my report on the spot and was shaking so bad while trying to write it up. I bet Jon called the cops last night and has already filed his own report.

Layla said...

I'm catching up here after being a way for a few days, and wow! Two high-powered attorneys for TFW to deal with. She is in way over her head. I truly believe that she thought she'd file her lawsuit, Jon and Robert wouldn't fight back due to lack of funds, and she'd win every point. Just like BV's lawsuit, when the person didn't even show up. Now, TFW has TWO motions to respond to, which means many, many more billable hours spent with her attorney. If she thought she'd never have to spend an extra dime because there wouldn't be a fight...well, wake up and smell the karma, Kate!

There is going to be a huge, expensive battle ahead, and she is going to have to prove every nonsensical claim in her lawsuit. Jon's and Robert's lawyers are fighters, and they know what they are doing. She can't sit in a chair and cry crocodile tears and answer only pre-approved questions like on the talk shows. She has to prove everything. She has to answer questions she doesn't want to answer. If she lies, there will be consequences. Bring it on.

TFW thought this would be a chance for her to A) bully Jon and Robert into submission, and B) go on a fishing expedition to get answers to any and all of her questions. She has got to be seething with rage right now. How dare they fight back! How dare they make HER answer questions! How dare they make HER prove her points! SHE was supposed to be doing all that to THEM. Now the other way around.

TFW will NOT withdraw. Her raging narcissism will not allow her to do that--even if it means destroying herself in the process. Then she will blame her destruction on Jon and Robert.

Regarding the gun picture--didn't the Sheeple just have a tweet-tizzy about how dangerous it could be for Jon to live in the woods? They said he was irresponsible and possibly endangering the kids...make up your minds, Sheeple! If the kids are in danger--then Jon should protect them by any means necessary. If there is no danger, then stop tweeting about the danger to the kids. Sheesh!

OrangeCrusher1 said...

Guns are scary. Paps are scary when intrusive on your property. Nothing I read here indicates the kids were with him.

Milo, Goody, et al are extremist idiots. I wonder why we waste our breath with them. TFW, if she is smart (hah) will keep her mouth shut. God forbid anything interfers with her hot trotting out of town with Skeeve in a few days. But now more 'not about her' media frenzy. What cookbook?

If Milo thinks a woman wouldn't be a problem for a man then she clearly hasn't seen any episodes of the show Snapped.

You got that right. I wouldn't leave home without it. What we don't know is how many actual threats have been made to Jon, and whether those threats were death threats. I bet he's been threatened by Kate's followers, and of course, those threats haven't been made public. There is some reason he feels the need to own a gun and I think that we just don't know the whole story.

"What!!? I remember somebody wishing he was in a coma, but nailing him to a cross upside down? That is demented. I'd be chasing stalkers off my property too."

She's bats##t crazy and getting worse. What better place to attack someone than in a rural area, along a dirt road, no street lights, no neighbors?

I was thinking about something this morning when I was having my coffee and bagel on my deck. Were the sheeple absent when all logical/critical thinking skills were passed out? Have they always been that way, or did that develop over time, as they got into this celebrity worship thing more and more? In particular, in Milo's case, was she "normal" before her addiction to all things Kate, or is this so very similar to cults and brainwashing where one becomes so deeply and completely involved that they simply are incapable of any rational thinking? Which came first -- the chicken or the egg?


TLC stinks said...

This may be way out there, but maybe has Jon has a gun not necessarily to protect the kids but to protect himself from his nut job ex and her demented circle of fans. Kate's hatred is so deep, so overwhelming for Jon that anything is possible. And she has the bucks to make something bad happen. Ok, maybe I watched too much Lifetime Channel aka The Man Hating Channel, but if I were in Jon's shoes I'd carry a gun and I am not a gun advocate.

fidosmommy said...

I don't know. Is there a medical term for their affliction?

You can only bang your head on the wall so many times before you realize that it's not going to do any good and all you're going to end up with is a migraine. I hate the idiom, "it is what it is," but in their case, that's about all you can say about them. Some are more looney than others, but in the whole scheme of things, most of them appear to be missing the switch that turns on the lights in their house.

1. It might have just been a photog with a camera, but she was taking a picture that could posssibly put Jon and his children at GREAT risk.

2. As a photographer in PA, if you are on private property, and a person is yelling at you

( likely to get off of their property and stop taking pictures)

and you keep taking pictures

( which the photographer obviously did because she has the pictures to prove it )

then you deserve to have that person take out his gun and fire a warning shot !

3. Jon did the right thing by following that Pap off of his property to ensure she left and no more were waiting.

4. If anyone files a police report, I hope Jon did/does.

Jon you have every right, and you would have no problem finding the name of that photographer TMZ would know who they bought that photo from!

That would require logical thinking.

============

Also, I was in our local B&N a few days ago where they had 5 copies buried on the cookbook aisle. I noticed it's full price there--$22.95,--instead of $13.77 that Amazon is selling it for. The sheeple are saving over $9 just for waiting. They need to stop trying to knock over the paddock.

Rhymes with Witch said...

Jon publicly stated that he had obtained a concealed carry permit in order to protect his over exposed children.

IMO it doesn't matter whether the children were in his home when someone stalked him in order to take pictures of where he lives. Just
learning where he lives and having picture of it puts those children at future risk from God knows who.

Harvest Moon said...

Can't you hear the photographer when she files the police report?

Officer: This happened last night. Why didn't you call us immediately?
Pap: I wanted to, but I was too shaken. He had a wild and scary look in his eyes. I feared for my life. He was angry and out of control.
Officer: I repeat. Why didn't you call us then?
Pap: I had to make sure that TMZ got the photo first and there was no internet service in the area.

FYI said...

TMZ just updated the story:

update_bar

11:00 AM PT -- Checkmate! The photog just went to the cop shop and she saw the light -- if she filed a complaint the police would have probably ended up charging HER with criminal trespass.

So she simply asked the cops to make a note in their file that Jon fired a shot in the air and went on her merry way ... on public property.

Again, the photog's first priority was going to TMZ and not the police. What's wrong with this picture?

I hope Jon files a report.

Milo, you, msgoody2shoes, and BV among others are doing nothing different then what others have done, and you have all cried bullying.

BV openly admits he bullies. If someone bullies you, it does not give you the right to BULLY BACK in a manor way more severe then what originally occurred. This type of thinking is what is taking kids into our schools and shooting them up!

Yes, Bullies need to be dealt with, but not this way.

I pray this whole BUllY fiasco is TAKEN DOWN and the likes of Bullyville, cheaterville, etc goes with it!

I agree people shouldnt be threatening people behind the screen of the internet, but if a person is doing that, actual threatening, then yes, get their IP address's and get to your local police department.

The only people here looking like fools is TFW and her co-horts! BV is a bully who has found a forum to bully people under the guide of protecting victims.

And Bullies dont like it when their victims get a back bone and start standing up. Jon has a back bone, is standing up, and it pisses the He** out of TFW, BV, MILO, and MS goody2 shoes. You can tell by the tweets on BV timeline these last few days... BV is upping the intimidation factor!

Ok, maybe I watched too much Lifetime Channel aka The Man Hating Channel, but if I were in Jon's shoes I'd carry a gun and I am not a gun advocate.

***************************

I'm not a gun advocate either, but the BV brigade and followers who show up on Twitter would be enough to scare anyone to death. If I were Jon, I'd constantly be looking over my shoulder.

Here is the update from TMZ:

Jon Gosselin
Yeah, I Fired My Gun

Jon Gosselin has no apology for firing a warning shot to scare off a trespassing paparazzo, because he tells TMZ it's within his legal right.
Gosselin says the female photog is the one who broke the law by trespassing and repeatedly refusing to leave his private property ... which he says gave him the right to bust a cap.

"I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun, which I withdrew and used to fire a warning shot AWAY from the paparazza" Jon says, adding, "It is well within my rights under Pennsylvania law when someone is trespassing on private property."

Gosselin is calling the photogs bluff -- she says she's filing police report -- because he's certain cops will tell her a thing or two about trespassing and a person's right to protect their property.

Jon says he's mulling over his own legal right ... because he's really pissed at the pap.

Whether it's legal or not for Jon to fire the shot ... it did the trick.

manipulators are a segment of the population that doesn’t share the same world view and doesn’t feel guilt or shame when they make someone unhappy. They are selfish, self centered and always focus on their goals. They have a strong need to feel superior and powerful in their relationships and these folks care about winning. They have difficulty in showing vulnerable emotions because it might suggest they are not in control. When they are not in control of themselves and over other people – they feel threatened.

If you try to over power them, they will retaliate in order to gain back the control they feel they are losing. These manipulative usually don’t consciously plan their tricks. They emerge from the manipulator’s underlying personality disorder. They may use active techniques like becoming angry, lying, intimidating, shouting, name-calling or other bullying tactics.



Intimidator -- Their threats, their harsh words, and their unpredictable, abusive actions all suggest the potential for uncontrollable rage or violence.Often they will convey their threats publicly adding illustrations of how they dealt with—and destroyed—others like us in the past. A specific way Intimidators attempt to knock us "off balance" is by their powerful, merciless attacks and attempts at publicly humiliating the enemy. These attacks are intended to incite all kinds of hurtful emotions in the foe.


Emotional manipulators fight dirty -- They don’t deal with things directly. They will talk around behind your back and eventually put others in the position of telling you what they would not say themselves. They make others do that by playing the victim role.


Sound like any people we know?????

Update from TMZ - "Checkmate! The photographer went to the cop shop and she saw the light -- if she filed a complaint the police would have ended up charging HER with criminal trespass."

Thank you. I'm moving if we've become a country where we can't protect our private homes and children from intruders. She was not a pap. She was a stalker.

Meagler I agree. That BV guy is just out of control.

What I don't get is how he got so many "celebrities" to post stories on that site.

How does "I skipped classes cuz I was a theatre nerd and nobody liked me" translate into being bullied?

Wouldn't it be in the kids' best interests for TFW to set Jon up in a home in a gated community? Since their safety is her top priority and all.

@FireyTopaz1 @Kateplusmy8 Jon has a right to his privacy. However, what did he expect after VH1 call-in, Dad's interview, ET & lawsuit?

It's all Jon's fault that someone stalked him and followed him to his home -- because he did an interview? He deserved it?

Lawsuit? Get a grip, Goody! KATE filed the lawsuit.

@FireyTopaz1 @Kateplusmy8 UhOH! looks like trouble brewing in Katie-Tweetie-Land: BV & Co R solidly defending Jons right 2 defend self w/gun

Where would one find this? I looked at his timeline, and the only thing I see is that he asked a question if someone has a right to defend himself on his own property.

Bitchy Pants said...

Jane, Kirkland, and everyone -- The link I posted for the LIITM book was working this morning. I tried it several times to be sure I had it correctly before I typed it in. Now it just brings up a blank page for me, and the forums aren't listed at the bottom of the book page any more. Amazon makes it bloody difficult to find their forums. I have the ones I participate regularly on (mostly books and a couple of animal related ones) just so I don't lose the links. The only thing I can suggest is that you keep trying. They were there. I posted on the "WHY" one myself a couple of times. I'm not sure which posts were yours, though, Ally ;>) .

I don't blame Jon at all for firing a warning shot when he was stalked home from work. Presumably this was late at night, since the article says the pap followed him home from work. He has a right to protect himself, and as long as his gun license and registration are in order, I don't see how the law can come after him. I just hope TFMJG doesn't try to use this against him to wrest his parental rights away.

PatK said...

Fired Up 4 Kate‏@MiloandJack5m
@BullyVille I really don't believe he felt threatened by a pap..he has courted them & frolicked w/them 4yrs. He did this 4shock effect. IMO

&&&&&&&&&

Isn't this opinion, according to BV definition, bullying? Can she state that he did it for "shock value"? Isn't that libel, slander, whichever?

Oh, but it's a Kate supporter. Nevermind! Look the other way, please!

Paula said...

Just my opinion, but I really don't think this was a "real" Pap that followed Jon. I don't think they usually follow people onto private property? Sounds a little amateurish to me - would a pap really file a police report when they were the ones trespassing?

Over In TFW's County said...


Jon says he's mulling over his own legal right ... because he's really pissed at the pap.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

She must have done something to really piss him off. There's more to this story than we know. Jon's such a laid-back, easy-going guy who more times than not had made friends with the paps. Something led up to his pulling out the gun and firing the warning shot.

Mel said...

So, if after TFW does multiple interviews, someone follows her home, she doesn't have the right to sic Steve on them?
Because it's her fault because she did interviews??
So what does she need Steve for?
The companionship?

Paula said...

Goody is Exhibit 1 as to why Jon needs a gun. Where does she live?

BV tweeted the story about Jon and the gun and then asked:

Goody? No one "deserves" to be stalked to their personal property.

I don't care if Jon, or Kate, wants to give 1,000 interviews and write 50 cookbooks and file 20 lawsuits. NO ONE has the right to follow them onto their property and what's more to continue to take photos even after being told clearly to STOP.

Stalkers are sometimes a terrible consequence of the celebrity life but it is not DESERVED by ANYONE.

"MsGoody2Shoes21 ‏@msgoody2shoes21 2m

By that measure, how then can the sheeple criticize the Paps for following, stalking and taking pictures of Kate and the kids? Kate put their young lives on TV, has 'written' 4 books about her children, DWTS, guest hosted, done countless interviews on both TV and print media and is about to embark on a publicity tour!

So in the world according to Milo, yes privacy matters, but by speaking publicly it gives the Paps permission to violate that, take photos, it gives them permission to stalk, follow, harass and violate their rights as a person on their own property. Open up those gates Kate, you're now fair game too and according to Milo, you asked for it!

Smoochie said...

Whoooooops! My bad, that's the World According to Goody!

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

They need to listen to the testimony of Hailey Berry and Jennifer Garner.

They say look I GET that I am a star and that my life is an open book. But that does NOT give the paps permission to violate my boundaries and those of my children, period. I will have to look up the status of that wonderful legislation they have pushed through.

Let's think about the logic here.

If this is just what to expect if you do an interview then I guess it's now fine with the sheeple for Robert to go through the trash?

You can't have it both ways. You can't say that's a problem then turn around and say oh well what do you expect when you give interviews! WTF?

Mel said...

Anyone wonder if BV will out that photog who was bullying Jon?

LaLaLandNoMore said...

We all understand that it takes a lifetime to build a wonderful reputation, but only seconds to tear it down. Someone needs to get through to this woman that Jon is not the reason for all of her failings before she spends every cent of the kids' money on this legal mess. The lawyers are the only ones coming out ahead on all of this. It is tragic, really. Difficult to grasp why it is happening, isn't it? Normal people do not behave this way. That book of revelations did not ruin anyone. The woman did it to herself. It is also difficult for me to understand the lack of self-awareness. Sad for the 8 kids. I predict that someday all of this "reality tv" will be a thing of the past.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...


How is Jon to know that someone stalking & following him in an unknown car, off the main roads, the side roads and all the way home onto his private property, is a photographer and means him no harm?

&&&

Anyone could borrow or get a cheap SLR camera that looks like a pap camera and pose as a photographer but have other more dangerous intentions. Not to mention, this person was just in a car. Did it say Paparazzi in big letters on the car or did Jon have ANY idea it was a photographer and not some creep?

In fact, that would be smart I would think. You have an explanation why you are there thats "innocent". Maybe if Kate worked they would follow her home from work too and she would be JUST as freaked out and she knows it.

He lives in the middle of nowhere. For that matter Kate's pretty far out there too. What are the response times there? At least 10 minutes? Perhaps 15 or more?

In ten minutes, your whole family could be dead. In 30 seconds they could be dead. The cops should always be called if at all possible, but sometimes it's just not possible.

I hope he presses charges against this stalker.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I'm impressed and relieved that BV understands Jon has a right to protect himself against trespassers (as does Kate, as does everyone). To support Jon protecting himself, his property and more than likely his children with Kate, is not a betrayal of Kate. It is a support of KATE and her children too.

Lalalalala said...

Notice that Kate is letting everyone bash Jon because he was trying to protect himself and his children. Kate should be telling these people that she's GLAD Jon did what he did! But, Kate never, ever does what she SHOULD do.

Mel said...

Just what he didn't need. Public opinion finally starting to tip in his favor, and then something dumb happens. Again.

He just can't seem to avoid tripping on his own two feet, can he.

Now there will be problems with the job...who wants TMZ calling them all the time? (Although maybe this will be good for busines...all the paps coming in for dinner and requesting a certain waiter. :-))
And TFW will surely have her attys in court fighting for 100% custody now.
His lawyer hasn't realized yet that Jon just can't stay out of trouble.
A change in strategy is needed.

Not that he isn't withing his rights to defend himself here, but why, why, why.....

Deep sigh.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

It was daylight

&&&

LOL this is too much. What does daylight have to do with it? You can't stalk and hurt a celebrity in broad daylight? Rebecca Schaeffer was shot in broad daylight. Her killer had just eaten breakfast.

I love too how none of the sheeple are asking, omg were the kids home, are the okay? Were they scared? Did they see any of this go down? It is never and has never been about concern about the children. It's always been about what to say to defend Kate no matter what direction the wind is blowing no matter how hypocritical it may be.

Poor Kate even her henchmen is saying ehh seems a reasonable response to me. She doesn't want to chime in with her support too?

FYI said...

Hmm-are there still problems with Kate's coupon site?

Why are only Kate's girls excited? Doesn't she buy clothes for the boys too?
