Discussion Thread: Couples Therapy episode 3, "New Couple Controversy'



Although two episodes have already aired without them, Jon and his girlfriend Liz make their first official appearance on the popular VH1 reality show tonight. Check local listings.

Meanwhile, the fallout continues from the twins awkward and uncomfortable appearance on Today yesterday


Watch Access Hollywood's excellent panel discussion on the debacle. They get it.

"IF" Jon signed off on that Custody Agreement....
"SO DID TFW". Which begs the thought that she believes she would get more money out of the kids than she would receive from child support.

So...if this 'did happen', then TFW is just as culpable in seeing her kids as commodities instead of human beings.


Great point, Berks!

T said...

Let's all suspend reality & disbelief and pretend all the drivel in the radar article is true, and step into Kate's scary delusion for a minute-(breathe though your mouth if you can, cuz it's going stink):

If he waived filming rights (no wonder courts are so backed up, since when are filming rights and when children can WORK part of child support agreements?), in lieu of paying child support- then he is not the one who "sold" them- Kate is.

If you think your kids Dad actually "sold them", why would you ever tell that to your kids? Divorce is painful enough, why intentionally share information that will only hurt their feelings?

If they now are so upset by this, and no longer want to see them, how is this "fostering" a relationship with their father as you so recently claimed.

Lastly, you can't say in every interview, including one in print less than a week ago that they see him every other weekend' and then sell a story to radar saying it's been 9 months. They can't both be true! And in today's social media heavy culture, you should be more discerning with your lies as there have been numerous reports of Jon with the girls on twitter, FB, Instagram, and the like.

And lastly, if the kids want to get back on TV so desperately, shouldn't they be thrilled that Jon can't stop them?

Jeeze Kate, is there no limit to your madness? I am sure many of your professional advisers, and maybe even your crowd imaginary friends too, have all advised you to shut up shut up shut up & lay low for awhile.

John Hannah's always been a classy guy. I'd never heard of John Croyle and the wonderful work he does but it doesn't surprise me that JH helped him out. Thank for the info.

The ROL article is pure crap. Nice try TFW. How many times have we've seen tweets of people who say they see Jon out with the kids, including the twins. Hasn't seen the twins in nine months my ass.

Mel said...

I wonder if TFW's bummin' cuz she wasn't invited to her bestie Michelle's 50th birthday party along with all the other celebrities....

@ljohnson2006: #JonGosselin should stop doing reality tv and focus on his kids. If he won't let #kateplusmy8 and the kids do it, why should he be allowed?

Because he's filming without the kids. If TFW can get a reality show that doesn't involve filming the kids I say have at it.

Amanda, Iowa said...

Predictions for the show today........Kate'll start with "setting the record straight" about the Today Show and after that the girls will "sing" like canaries, chatty, witty and giggling while supermom is smiling like a stoned Chesire cat! And then some subtle "throw daddy under the bus, in front of train or oncoming semi and then everybody will get a signed cookbook! Happy, happy superfunctional family :-)
I wont watch....got some super important vacuuming and bathroom-cleaning to do!

JoyinVirginia said...

I'm reading backward so I just read post The View Was Taped on Thursday about Facebook messages from director of public school choir that did MLK tribute. If a bunch of public school kids were there, whoops, the twins will just be a couple more kids in a bunch of kids that day. Kids that sing. Kids that get together in a big group to perform. That will take away the focus on TFMJG.
I really like fantasia. She was on the real realest reality show of all, American Idol, where contestants have pretty much their entire lives scheduled 24/7 once they have signed the contract and the live show starts. She knows how hard reality show filming can be, and how producers pick what image they want particular contestants to present, and use PR, media, editing, coaching to achieve that. Fantasia has said publicly in the past that producers did not want her to talk about her daughter she had as a single teen mother.
Interesting to see what actually ends up being broadcast

Mel said...

If the twins are furious with Jon for selling them out does that mean:

1) they don't want to film and are angry they he's allowed it to happen - not what TFW is claiming...she's claiming they want to film. So that's not the reason.

2) if they don't want to film, and are angry with their mom for making them do it.... it makes *so* much sense to cut themselves off from the one person who understands (I'll fix her...I'll just stay home with her 100%). Does that make any sense? Nope. Guess this isn't the reason either.

3) TFW sold them on the idea that their dad doesn't care about them. See?? I told you he doesn't care about you. He'll let you film rather than pay your child support. I told you he was a loser.
Bingo! I think we have a winner!

Anyway, wasn't there a tweet a month or so ago that the tweeter served (or saw) Jon with M&C out doing something. Ice cream or something?

@Truth_Teller201
@ljohnson2006 @Kateplusmy8 @theviewtv Kate has sole legal custody...he gave up legal custody so has mo say! He's been lying in interviews


No sheeple, he can always voice an opinion and he can always go to court and ask that she be stopped.

That came from one of the really slow sheeple (I mean REALLY slow), who at one time was a Milo-In-Training. Not sure what her title is now, but it's one of those who don't get it and never will.

Um because he's not a minor?

He didn't try to stop Kate doing Dancing With the Stars. I mean he's told her trying to make this her real career is pretty stupid, but he never tried to stop her from her individual endeavors. So it's perfectly fair.

Um, I guess the source doesn't know that ALL EIGHT were spotted by someone over the Christmas holidays with Jon. All eight. Jon also provided a very recent picture of ALL EIGHT with Liz. So that's just nonsense. Good try though Kate. And I really doubt the kids care about legal custody, it doesn't change them seeing him or anything. I'm sure he explained that it's better that one person gets to

Like I said giving sole legal to one parent in a situation like this where they are both appropriate (in the court's eyes) is rare but if it will prevent so much fighting and turmoil a judge would agree to it. Maybe it was Jon's way of extending an olive branch, hey I won't fight you on school and taking them to church, I'm not going to cause conflict when I know all those things are well taken care of. As he said in his interview he has a sort of "who cares" attitude about legal. As long as their legal needs are taken care of why cause conflict by forcing Kate to contact him for every single field trip permission slip and doctor visit?

The bottom line is child support is about BEST INTEREST and can't be bargained away, so this is all just nonsense.

I hope this is sarcasm.
What she is "informing" them of is selective, embellished, downright lies. I don't call that "informing" I call that parental alienation.

localyocul said...

I've said for a while that I think he agreed to let them film based on an agreement of zero for child support, which my ex and I were told could happen in PA just due to the timeline. That being said, if he bought them, Kate sold them. Why would they be furious about it yet obviously happy to say they want to film again? I think the two "grownups" both need to resort to being honest, not badmouthing the other in private or public, and try to repair the damage they have done. C and M need family therapy (and the rest for that matter) NOW

Does anyone know if there is a View live feed anywhere for us West Coasties to watch the same time as the East coast?

&&&

You can't "bargain" away child support in PA like that. So it's a nice thought the sheep want to think but it's not possible.

He was quite clear that a judge was involved. He said me, Kate, and the JUDGE. The judge HAD to make that best interest finding. I suspect the best interest finding was made for two reasons: 1. both Jon and Kate individually support the kids financially just fine on their custodial time (Jon has confirmed he pays for his kids on his time), so the kids needs are well taken care of, and their education trusts which Jon said they have fill in any gaps and 2. giving legal to one parent, be it Kate or Jon, would help to limit some of the constant conflict and court intervention. Best interest, done.

Bitchy Pants said...

If the twins haven't seen or spoken to Jon in 9 months, how does ROL explain the multiple local sightings of Jon with the twins or with all 8 kids as recently as the Christmas break. HEADLINE --TFMJGTP gets herself tangled up in yet another easily refutable lie!

FlimsyFlamsy said...

Before The View airs, I wanted to put in my 2 cents about this latest deflection ploy.

I think a huge part of the equation hasn't been discussed. I think
TFW is jealous of Jon's GF. TFW kicked him to the curb, and assumed he'd spend the rest of his life wondering where it all went wrong. Nope - he found a few people he cared about and dated steadily, and now has someone he's thinking of marrying. Can you imagine how this tortures TFW? Jon found someone who loves him, warts and all. Whether it lasts another year or another week, he is not alone. But she is. She never could've predicted this ending. When the "string of girlfriends" line is tossed out to indict him, it's just another reminder that more than one woman found him appealing for some reason or other. Whereas all the work TFW has done on her appearance has gotten her zip. This must make her seethe. She'll continue to inflict punishment upon him as long as she's got the tabloids on speed-dial. She never could've foreseen this, and she can't control it. For someone who has micromanaged her children's lives to the point of telling them in what order to eat their lunch, nothing could be more frustrating.

Mel said...

Here's the tweet I was thinking of. The tweeter seems normal enough, not invested in the TFW drama.

I'm assuming the guy can count to 8. Although maybe he just saw a bunch of kids and assumed all kids, not realizing that were two more kids that weren't there.

I just saw Jon Gosselin and his 8 kids at #Octoberfest at Reading Liederkrantz.

My cable provider provides a feature called "Time Shift" which allows us the ability to watch most of the east coast shows on their time. I will be watching The View at 8:00 am this morning. This feature is an add-on of $5.00 per month. I live in Vancouver, but I would think the big cable companies in the U.S. would offer this.

That's a cool feature but oh Kate is not worth 5 bucks!

You know a couple years ago there used to be a LOT more East Coast feeds I could get. It was fun seeing prime time stuff at dinner time and then go to bed at a decent hour. Now everyone's in on a West Coast feed and what I really hate is sometimes I hear stuff will be swiffered for the West Coast airing.

Yes and anyone else at Octoberfest could back that up so I doubt someone would lie about seeing all eight if he saw only six or none.

Kate, you failed.

Susie Cincinnati said...

The sheeple "authored" this story, that I am sure of. This has been their "story" ever since it was revealed Jon does not pay child support. A "source close to Kate"...LOL...Milo...Ms. Goody....one of the other 4 remaining mental midgets?

&&&&&&&

Mental midgets? Good one! Well, I can see Milo's hands all over that one. She tweeted some crazy ghost writer wanting a conference call to spill the goods on Jon and didn't want to "blab" in a tweet, and then lo and behold, out comes a negative article about Jon. Coincidence? Someone "close" to the situation? I can see her (or other of the mental midgets) claiming that they communicate with Kate in so many other ways and they have insider information. I don't imagine that ROL vets its sources!

On the exterior, Milo appears to be a sweet and sugary, neighborly. helping people, walking the straight and narrow, but underneath I have a feeling that she can be very vicious and vindictive. Just my opinion, of course.

Mel said...

As far as the comments that Savannah was rude...on the contrary. I thought she was compassionate to the girls.

She asked her question in a kindly way, and it was open ended. She gave the twins the space to answer that any way that they wanted to.

She said, "What would you like to say", and then paused, giving them space to answer. They didn't HAVE to say anything bad about Jon at that point.

They could have just said, oh, it's great. I love school. I was in a play. We are very active and have many interests.

But they knew that wasn't the answer TFW wanted them to give. Thus, the dilema.

I think she asked the question in a kindly way because she KNEW that TFW's script was for them to bash their dad, and she set it up so that they didn't have to do that.

Except that the twins were too scared of TFW to take advantage of the out that Savannah was giving them. Thus the scared looks at TFW. Mady was trying to gauge if she dare take the out, and decided against it.

Paula said...

So, when Jon picks up the kids after school, what do Cara and Mady do, walk home?

Amanda, Iowa said...

"A source close to the family".............Milo??? Do you think she would've called ROL to give them her 2 cents? She has been in a crazy stupid frenzy ever since the last show!

boo said...

Admin, is it possible that Jon and kate agreed that Kate would have sole legal custody and Jon would pay no child support, and that this agreement was approved by the Judge and reduced to an order? Jon may have assumed that the likelihood of future filming was small, given the kids' ages and the apparent lack of interest from the networks. Just wondering

))))))

When my ex was unemployed he took me back to get child support lowered. He wasn't happy with the number. The conference officer said that's the number that will stand unless you two can agree on another number and you can agree on any number down to zero. They didn't necessarily tell the officer (or master or judge whoever) that it was in exchange for anything. They could just agree on it. That's how it went down with us in PA. I did agree to a slightly lower amount than that calculated to give him a break.

I also had a good friend W and I spent a sleepover with her at her house. They were living in a rental house. I remember it was sooo cold the next morning to get up and go to school!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I forgot to add that the Hannah parents owned the rental house that I stayed at!

45 minutes to the View.

Also, I was wondering if that picture of TFW and the girls was made right after the Today Show or after the View?

I wonder if TFW got so mad because the girls were suppose to say we just LOOOVEEE filming and we are going to do or want to do a new show called Growing Up Gosselin. I have watched the part where she snapped her fingers and said Mady here's your chance, SPIT IT OUT! Right after that you can clearly hear a man laugh. I am so proud of those girls even though they paid a high price for it. But on the other hand, TFW had to have had to back down because the View was next. If she would of been that vicious, it could of been worse at the View. Hope TFW had her shoots and giggles with Bill Gedes!

I wonder if BW will be there. I will be surprised if she is. Will they ask questions about the Today Show interview? Will Sheri proclaim her alliance with TFW that it was just fine that she took the girls to a live interview? Would she do her own dear Jeffery like that? I don't think so. The last time she was on the View, Whoopie just sit there and didn't say a word. If Whoopie is there, what will she do?

Emperor's Clothing. I believe in most conspiracy theories out there on different subjects. It is very strange to see Gina put her hand in her jeans pocket and you can't see a ring. But the way her hand is positioned, you would be able to see at least a sliver of the ring. And Steve's right hand is behind his back. Remember back when Steve and Gina went to NZ without the boys and we thought that they went there to get divorced. I agree it is a very nice picture. But I believe that TFW and Steve did have an affair. Remember the DJ that saw TFW and Steve walking through the huge lobby and holding hands. There is a picture of them walking, but they saw someone fixing to take a picture and they quit holding hands. It is the one that TFW is wearing that red leather very cropped jacket. There is no telling how much that cost!

Watching Home and Family and there was a Chef that was going to cook, they introduced him, he was sitting on the couch with the line up of blondes that they always have on. They introduced him and he said, Hey, I'm not blonde, but I am ok. hahaha Now was funny, but it would of been very very funny if WOS had been sitting there in the blonde bunny section!

Susie Cincinnati said...

Kate's trying to run damage control with that ROL article. It finally got through her thick head that nobody believes her spin about stage fright in the Today show, and that everyone saw what was really going on.

&&&&&&

Exactly. And it's too little, too late. People aren't stupid. After that fiasco on Today, they can see right through her. Nothing she can do or say or any stories she and her sheeple minion can plant will do anything to redeem her. She cooked her own goose.

PatK said...

I can think of one ardent Sheep who probably tripped over herself/himself to contact Radar with that load of crap. Yeah, the same Sheep who was just the other day trying to horn in on a conference call with a celebrity ghost writer.

Kate's either Steve's mistress or it's all in her tiny brain. Either way he's been playing her for years.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I never believed that they were having an affair. Kate has always come across as asexual to me, but she might have been having an imaginary emotional one in her mind.

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

I see Kate as asexual as well. I can't imagine her being warm and loving in bed or anywhere else unless she got something in return which would make her...
*********************************************************************************
Exactly. I remember seeing a picture of TFW doing something--washing dishes in the sink probably--with Jon hugging her from behind. Her posture was very stiff. At that point, she'd already gotten what she wanted from Jon which was a houseful of multiples.

Now TFW and Skevee may have hit the sheets once or twice, but he probable breathed too loud:)

On a more serious note, with all the talk about Jon picking the kids up at the bus on Tuesdays, I hope we don't see another round of pap photos.

You're just trying to save that plastic face after the Today show. .

Absolutely I think that she would have done this. No doubt in my mind. They've been on this child support thing for so long. The sheeple, though, can't think things through and don't realize the contradictions put forth with such a claim. If anything, the twins wouldn't be estranged with Jon if he sanctioned their filming; they'd be happy about it. Kate claims they want to film another show. They brightened up when asked if they wanted to film. Then again, if you look at it from the standpoint that they are ticked at their father for "selling them out," and they turned around claimed that they want to do another show, then that was all a lie put in their mouths by Kate.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave...
