The Big Tip


Once in awhile a reality show comes along that tries to make a difference. "The Big Tip" promises to do just that by singling out people in the restaurant service industry deserving of recognition for community service or just all around do-gooders (one waitress is a foster mom, another gives all her money to a dog rescue, still another is also a firefighter). Rachael Ray will then present the waiter or waitress with a "big tip" in the form of a check.

We're not the biggest fan of chirpy Rachael Ray, her mediocre cooking skills and her ripoff garbage bowl marketed to solve a problem that never even existed, but this tear jerker is a cool idea. And it has a little bit of credibility, since Rachael started out as a waitress herself in her parents' restaurants. She works hard, owns pit bulls, and she promises not to bear offspring because she just wouldn't be a fit mother, which you have to respect. Looking forward to this one. 

Sunday, Food Network. 10 p.m. or check local listings. The series premieres Sunday with promises of more episodes in the fall.

IIRC, the 5 day max. limit of PT days is in Robert's book. I have posted about it off and on here for a long time. Does anyone remember. But, Sue, if she couldn't understand why he wasn't trained in 5 days, that is something you patiently work on. A normal mother would. Not drag them by the hair of their 2 year old head and throw them into their crib because they have an accident, scream they are not dogs! Then beat them into the crib and then run down to sit on your computer and enter the abuse on your "Mommy Journals".

====

Collin was thrown in his crib because he spilled beans and tipped over highchairs.

From Robert's first Kindle edition of the book:

**The sextuplets were two years old and in diapers at the time of these incidents, recorded by Kate in her journal. You can read the complete journal entries in the 'Mommy's Journal' chapter.


"Collin decided to pour beans all over the floor while I was inside peeling potatoes, so the girls told me and I sent all the offenders inside. Well Collin didn't like that I sent him in and when I was out the garage, I heard three large bangs...I went inside and three highchairs were on the floor literally. I was instantly so SO angry, that I grabbed him and spanked him as hard as I could and thought I may seriously injure him so I sent him to his crib... . And whipped him into it very hard! I for the first time thought I man really lose it and am glad that I just let [sic] him in his crib til Jon came home I have never felt that I may really seriously injure a child but today was that day!

I don't know what it is about Collin! He is usually kind and caring and nice and tender but when his temper flairs ...Watch out! I don't like that he doesn't know how to handle his frustration and anger! I didn't even get a chance to have him apologize to me because I had to drop everything take Alexis to the doctor!"**

Let's reserve the term 'cult' to actual, dangerous groups such as Scientology and Jim Jones' tactics.

But that's not the only definition of a cult.

A cult need not be dangerous or cause any kind of significant harm, other than perhaps being unhealthy psychologically for its members. That's Kate and her most zealous fans to a T.

The incredible detail in these journals give them so much credibility. It's chilling.

I wonder if she's ever taken some kind of remedial parenting class. I believe one school of thought when teaching violent parents how to not hurt their children is to put him in the crib and just walk away.

The belief is that it's better to leave the child alone, afraid and abandoned, than physically hurting the child. Sigh.

Somewhere In Time said...

I find this statement both frightening and sad


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

Rhymes...I went and looked at her TL. It's sad. She also thinks that it's perfectly okay to exploit the kids and to keep dogs outside in freezing cold weather because that's where they belong. I was thinking this was a sheeple sock set up to bait the haters, but I don't believe it is. I'm confused, though, because she tweeted something to Jon. When I pulled up the twitter account, it has Jon's name on it, but it's five years old. I didn't think he has an active twitter account. I noticed, though, that in the tweet to which this new sheeple is responding, Jon spells his daughter's name incorrectly.

OT as well. I went to the library yesterday & picked up Orange is the New Black. I haven't seen any of the shows, so have no idea if the book will convince me to join Netflix so I can watch them.


I hope Breaking Bad really does have a chance at returning, but I wonder if Bryan Cranston isn't just toying with us. Just Call Saul sounds promising & apparently some of the BB cast may appear.

BB... I don't know if I want it back. The possibility of being let down off the ledge it had me up on might be too big!

Just Call Saul- I can't believe his character made it through, but then again, I'd watch this before 'Just Thank Hank" or "Do It For Me, Marie"

Maybe Saul and Skylar????????

Somewhere In Time said...

She wanted him to apologize to her for his behavior, not apologize to her for beating him, as someone tweeted yesterday.

xxxxxxxxxxx
@WendyWilliams Robert Hoffman book @Kateplusmy8 abuse of son being beaten, kate wanted apology 4 beating him http://t.co/2zkr4ZD1Ga

Things really do get taken out of context, don't they?

FYI said...

In Kate's journal, dated May 2007, she wrote:

"today marks the fifth day of Aaden’s potty training and I thought he was doing extremely well UNTIL…"

Then she explains how he had an accident in the dining room and goes on and on about cleaning it up.

She then says "I spanked aaden after all was clean because we are not dogs and by five days, I felt that he should be able to handle his functions a tad better!"

So to clear things up, according to Kate's journal this happened on the 5th day of potty training--NOT that she only gave him 5 days to train. Also, he was 3 at the time-NOT 2 years old.

Somewhere In Time said...

Kate was inside peeling potatoes. She let two-year-olds alone and unsupervised in the garage? Am I the only one who would never do that? I watched my toddlers in diapers like a mama grizzly.

Yes she would never on her own but it's entirely possible she could have been forced to by a social worker or they would file a petition.

We do not know the results of Robert's call to CPS and probably never will.

Thank you, Twit. I thought I remembered that he was older than two at the time of potty training.
So these were two incidents? The one with the beans, and the potty-training incident?

If so, then lukebandit confused those two incidents.

Notice how TFW describes her behavior, which was totally out of control with frustration and anger, then turns around and writes how she doesn't like that same behavior in her son. I wonder where he learned it? Like Carrie Ann Inaba said about her on DWTS...she has no self awareness.

FYI said...

So these were two incidents? The one with the beans, and the potty-training incident?
===============

Yes. The one with Collin and the beans occurred in January 2007. The potty training with Aaden was in May 2007.

I don't understand the potty training controversy. SHE thought he should be trained by 5 days. I don't care if it was 5 weeks. He had an ACCIDENT. Did she get spanked after her car accident? Good grief. I wonder how far that set the poor kid back. This woman knows nothing about raising children.

It's just such silly drama too. Why would you scramble when number one you knew this birthday was coming for a very long time, and secondly, the party wasn't even on their birthday, it was several weeks later. So they had an extra few weeks AFTER their birthday to get ready.

I thought she was just oh so organized. Organized people do not scramble to throw together a party.

Fleecing The Sheeple said...

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

lol! I'm chewing my nails and cuticles, and can hardly contain my excitement. The surprise will be that Kate will herd her clan into the basement where they all will sit glued to the television, watching reruns of their old shows long into the night, while Zorro sings (a capella, of course) "Little Bird, Little Bird" from Man of La Mancha, followed by an encore of "May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose."

It's one for the sheeple to dislike Jon. Whatever, lots of people don't like Jon. Lots of people don't like Kate either.

It's quite another to strip that person of his right to call himself their father by telling Kate she acts as their father too, and refusing to acknowledge this is Jon's day, not Kate's. I noticed the comments after her tweet all called her out on taking it too far.

I did not see a single person here trying to strip Kate of the right to her Mother's Day or suggest they should not see her on mother's day. Not one. Love her or hate her, she is their mother and has a right to call herself that as much as Jon has the right to call himself their father. It is up to the children what relationship they have with her when they turn 18. It's not up to anyone else.

....So whoever called it that she would go on twitter silence today because the kids are with Jon was right. Not one little peep. She's peace out now that the kids are out of her hair and she doesn't need twitter to easy the pain of having them around. Probably treated herself to a nice spa day.

Shh--we're not supposed to know that it wasn't filmed on the tups birthday.

I remember the last birthday(their 7th) that was filmed. Kate was bemoaning that she didn't have much time to prepare due to the court case with Sylvia LaFair.

Is she going to use being away filming CA as an excuse this time? Pretending that she just got home a few days before their birthday?

It'll be interesting how they play this out, considering the info we've gotten from twitter.

Correct. However, I think it's easy to see where the confusion about the age came in. In one place Robert said: "The sextuplets were 'two years old and in diapers' at the time of these incidents, recorded by Kate in her journal. You can read the complete journal entries in the ‘Mommy’s Journal’ chapter." He goes on to quote a number of incidents where she describes losing it with the kids.
Then further into the book he shows the journal chronologically w/dates where we see the specific reference to the 5 days, etc took place in '07 when they were actually 3+.

In real life, Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer. He and the Englishman Scott were in a race to be first at the South Pole. Scott was the one who had a disastrous trip, reached the pole over a month after Amundsen, and died, along with 4 of his men, on the return journey. Amundsen came off just fine.

I think the posts are mashing up a lot of unrelated "explorer-type" things to make fun of the Austria/Australia blunder.

I'll admit that I thought the initial "there are outbacks in Austria" joke was making fun of the confusion between the restaurant "Outback" (that can be pluralized) and the Australian outback, which is singular. Didn't even notice the country was wrong!

Yes, it really doesn't matter what TW thought about which tup or tups hadn't finished PT with the others. 5 days or an ultimatum of 5 days or a couple of weeks. It is how she reacted to it is what matters. She went on a rampage and hurt the child and scared the others. She is a loose cannon and has been for years. Her best ever rampages are coming when the book actually hits and the outrage tsunami warning siren is turned on.

I am feeling horrible for those kids when that happens.

The tweeter who said I caused more damage for my inconsistences? How? By mistakenly saying PT had to be within 5 days? I think kate did much more damage by allowing them filmed on the potty at the end of the driveway, where the neighbors could see and the world on film. The threatening, the screaming, the severe punishment is much more damaging that me saying it was 5 days.

Scott was the one who had a disastrous trip, reached the pole over a month after Amundsen, and died, along with 4 of his men, on the return journey. Amundsen came off just fine.

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

Are you sure? I thought Amudsen disappeared after some kind of mission, somewhere in the arctic and they never found his plane. I remember reading a few years ago that they were still looking for the wreck of the plane.
-----------------------------------
The south pole races was in 1910-12. Scott died and Amundsen was fine. But you're right that Amundsen disappeared in a plane in the Arctic in 1928. Those old guys really got around!

By the way, the most gripping story of Antarctic exploration was Shackleton. Look for the book Endurance by Alfred Lansing. It's incredibly good. But according to Amazon, there's a new edition with a preface and afterward to "Christianize" the story, plus who knows how much editing of the actual text. The extra stuff can be ignored if you like, but some people were highly indignant about possible changes to the actual text of Lansing's book, which is a classic.

The kids must have been with Jon for Father's Day. Not a peep out of her today. Good. Pure speculation, but maybe Jon will have them all week so she can prep for her mini media tour. All of one show and I doubt that she'll get more than one segment. She's just not that important any more.

Just thought I post this because we've talked about her an I think the name of he play she wrote is funny.

Known for her roles as Nattie Hillard in Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda Wormwood in Matilda, Mara Wilson says that “Film acting is not very fun”. This is probably the reason why she quit acting in movies. The winner of the Young Artist Award for her role in The Simple Wish, has made appearances in web series, Missed Connection, and internet review shows for That Guy with the Glasses. She has also written her first Broadway play called Sheeple.

I don't understand the potty training controversy. SHE thought he should be trained by 5 days. I don't care if it was 5 weeks. He had an ACCIDENT. Did she get spanked after her car accident? Good grief. I wonder how far that set the poor kid back. This woman knows nothing about raising children.

TLC stinks said...

If spanking is all those children know, some will repeat that and others will go the opposite extreme. Seems to me Kate's deposition and lack of patience has always made her a terrible mother. You don't have to be a hard ass to raise many children but apparently Kate takes the lazy and hurtful route. I never spanned either of my children for having a potty accident. It's completely normal and you just have to do extra laundry. She has really messed up these kids.

She lives and has lived in a fantasy world. You would think after taking care of twins she would have no desire to have more multiples. At least Jon realized what it would involve since he was most likely Mady and Cara's caregiver. Narcissists are very convincing, Jon was weak and in love and wanted to please Kate. She knew she could control him and get what she wanted. He rebelled and so will some of the kids.

Yes. Although I remember certain parts of it were atypical from most abuse cases and I remain skeptical. I believe he has a brother who said his story is nonsense. And once when someone confronted the author about whether the story was about him apparently he deflected and said it's about a kid who survived.

Bitchy Pants said...

I've been without internet access for a couple of days, and I'm trying to catch up on the 400+ posts I haven't read, but this one struck me.

Flimsyflamsy said "How hard would it've been to read 2 bedtime stories a night - one to the 6 littles, and one to the twins?"

You know TFMJG wouldn't take the time to read to her kids. Jon most likely didn't have the time after he came home from a full day's work, fed the kids, bathed the kids, got the kids ready for bed, and put them to bed. TFMJG had a list of other chores for him to accomplish and she would have nagged him remorselessly for wasting time. She did the same thing often on the show when he -- Oh the humanity!! -- actually took the time to play with his kids, to get down on their level and interact with them. She may have lain on bedrest for skipty blue million weeks and birthed those kids, but she's no mother.

I also agree that a love of reading hasn't been fostered in the children. Jon doesn't strike me as a reader, and TFMJG is too busy a piecin' and a patchin' to "waste" time reading.

Dmasy said...

I have read "It" and the sequels. I actually saw Dave Pelzer speak at a large church in Alabama. I was unaware of the "controversy" at the time. He seems to be a sweet and tender soul. There is sadness behind his upbeat message. I don't know if all his details are true or embellished, but you do sense that he is insecure and has suffered.

I apologize to sheep, real sheep are most definitely a lot smarter that sheeple Kate fans or Kate fans period. I just love when these sheeple fans post at twitter: they can't wait to see the tups turn 10. WAKE UP SHEEPLE & FANS! The tups birthday was May 10th, this is now June. To me, these are not true fans of hers, since they do not know that the tups already had their birthday, last month! What is going to be on TV is Kates & TLC's version of the tups birthday, not their real birthday, cause Kate was too busy with her career.

She took the time to read to her kids only when it was written into her contract. When they visited St. Judes to *cough* give back, it turns out Kate got paid an extra $10K to read Tales of Despereaux to her kids at the hotel the night before.

I will bet my grandmother's wedding ring the book was never picked up and read to them by her again after that episode was filmed.

I don't know if this has been mentioned because like Bitchy Pants, I've got over 400 comments to catch up on. I noticed on my channel guide that TLC is running a J&K+8 marathon from 6am until 2pm on Thursday. I thought it was interesting that they're running J&K+8 and not K+8. Whoever's watching can now really see the difference between how TCFW used to look and how she looks today.

The fans are a very weird group of people who hate anyone who doesn't worship at the altar of Kate. Even though there are only a few posters posting over and over, all they do is copy comments from here and bash away. The best part is they criticize and bash this group, they find that just fine.

Honey Boo Boo and Mama June are on Wendy Williams show today. They are on 3 segments to boot too. Two of them are very short segments and she was playing in a money cash booth in one of them. But TLC is promoting this show alot and only one appearance for Kate.

I wonder if Kate will show up on other entertainment shows Thursday since she will be in NY. I get the feeling that Extra or one of those type shows may surprisingly put her on at the last minute. I hope I am wrong.

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

At least, TLC remembers that the kids have a father. Some of the episodes they're airing are when Jon and Kate took the tups out for their "special days". Just reading the descriptions, shows how Kate never wanted to do anything with the boys.

"Jon and Kate take (girl tup) to......., then Jon takes (boy tup) to......."

They're also repeating the Korean dinner episode. Looks like they're purposely repeating shows that particularly show Kate in a bad light.

Here's the list of the shows they're re-airing. Scroll down to the 19th.

Since we've spent a lot of time talking about child custody issues, I found this article very interesting.

"Courts in the U.S. have sentenced thousands of children to live with a parent who abused them. The family court judges who reach this decision — and restrict or end the relationship of the parent who reported concerns of abuse — usually do so based on the opinion of a court-appointed expert....A quick look at how the family courts' multimillion-dollar expert industry operates reveals a system that is built to invite corruption."

So Luke didn't get the details right, made it sound worse than it really was? Really???

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

But here's the thing, Vanessa. Kate is bad when it comes to parenting. No question about it. However, when someone takes what they think is "fact" and puts it out there and it turns out that it is not a fact, that it is distorted, embellished or whatever, it does make her look worse, and it makes the non-fans and their assertions not credible. When tweets contain so many inaccuracies and distortions of the truth, one really doesn't know what to believe -- is this just a rumor by a hater who is bashing Kate by twisting the truth, or is this really what happened? What she does is bad enough; you don't have to pound away with things that really didn't happen. Kate has herself to blame for her lousy parenting and greed. She doesn't need tweeters to make things worse by reporting erroneous "facts."

On the flip side, these distortions serve to make Kate look like a victim of bullying, especially when there are those who know that what is being tweeted is simply not true. The more the non-fans hammer on her with "facts" that they pull up out of their head, the more she can claim that they are nothing but lies, see how I am hated...and she would be right.

One of the sheeple, on her flog (failed blog) or her shlog (sheeple blog) is insisting that Kreider is going to sue Robert if he publishes the book because that would be a violation of the SETTLEMENT and AGREEMENT he made with her when SHE dropped her lolsuit.

Apparently (according to said sheeple) his lawyer quit on him because 1. "He's not the super duper hot shot the hater's claimed" (sic on the whole sentence)
2. "..Hoffie broke legal ethical protocol." (yeah, I don't know what that is either)

You can't make this crap up. Or I guess in their case, you can.

She really is ungrateful, isn't she?

BTW, Georgia has a $ 5.15/per hour. Wow!

JMO said...

Going out on a limb here, but I don't think TFW hits them anymore, but rather tortures them with significant threats of what they can and can not do. She can be verbally vicious.

As far as we know, the kids get to do nothing, other than C, they have many chores, and TFW is a very angry resentful unhappy person. Think last few episodes where she clearly could not control her anger for the cameras. This "super mom" has clear anger issues, and has alienated how many people in her life? Family, friends, babysitters, etc.. There is a reason for this, nothing to do with what Kate says.

She has groomed these kids to meet "her needs" as it is all about her. She manipulates the twins with promises of concerts, I Phones, etc.. to watch over the tups, as she did with Jon, as she clearly never wanted all of the responsibilities with the tups, just the ATTENTION!!!
Jon quit his job with the state at one point, as TFW was clearly not able to handle the tups on her own (left them in their room for 4-5 hour naps, until Jon got home. Who does this ?Then Jon "suddenly" quit his state job, as she wanted him home? Why?? Book tours, tv appearances, anything to get away from the kids.

It really is a joke after she said that she wanted to spend one week with the kids and the other week traveling ideally. Who claims to be a hands on mom and then says this?

Depending on the level of narcissism, anything is possible.


I do think the boys are second class citizens, who rarely said a word in the latter episodes. The twins rebelled, Hannah and Leah do no wrong, and were mean to Jamie's kids, which leaves Alexis who is a sweetheart, and a lively spirit. TFW can not handle that !!! Her way or the highway.

This woman, IMO, had no business having 8 kids. She always needed help, donations, and most importantly attention, and none of it was ever focused on the kids, but rather herself - always.

When you have no relationships with family, friends, hired help, etc.... have alienated so many people who have supported and helped you, maybe you are the problem.

Kids deserve so much better, and to have a life outside of her orbit. Part of growing up includes socialization with other people, and to date, looks like only C gets to socialize (soccer), and this was put in place while Jon was still on board.

With all of the restrictions, hatred toward ex, and kids having no activities with other kids, outside their family, this is NOT going to end well. ALL ABOUT KATE AND WHAT IS BEST/CONVENIENT FOR KATE. # GreatMom

I didn't read the story, but I do remember hearing about it, learning some of the details, and being truly horrified. I remember seeing him on Oprah. I did not get a strong "phony" vibe from him, fwiw.

I would actually feel better if I learned that the story was fictional, because it was so awful. Just because his brother says it is nonsense, that really doesn't mean much to me. After all, if you were a kid who basically had to turn a blind eye to what your mother was doing to a sibling, in order to continue to be treated decently yourself -- you might not want to/even be able to, own up to the truth.

In the meantime, TFW still does not get how vile she is as a mother, in her insipid desire to be a STAR! JMO

JoyinVirginia said...

Thanks for the tlc daytime listing update, everyone! My older dd and some friends who were big J&K fans back in the day liked the show because of the cute toddler children. One friend says Aunt Jodi was her favorite, and after she was no longer on the show this friend didn't watch. Tlc probably wants to bring back those fond early memories and show the contrast in the appearance of the children. The contrast in the appearance of TFMJG is just a bonus.
Folks, Figure 8 and tlc own hours and hours of footage that shows TFMJG in less than perfect behavior, they must! If they think they can make a buck from showing ”The Worst of TFMJG”, you know they will show it!

Yes although his brother wasn't the only one saying so.

I also found it telling that the author's response to the brother was that brother is intellectually disabled. Only he said the R word. He is not disabled in any intellectual form but does suffer from Bell's palsy. It seems to me there would be no reason to try to discredit so viciously if you are telling the truth.

Yep, according to the contract she had with Discovery and in connection with Universal Pictures, she was paid that on top of the $22,500 plus expenses which she was already getting for the episode.

She was also dragging around a wagonful of Multiple Blessings books and J&K+8 dvds, because you know, why miss that golden opportunity to promote HERSELF.

She didn't get $10,000 just for reading the book. If she were being paid that much for an episode, and reading that book was included in that episode, then that's how much she was paid. Same can be said about cooking her granny soups. They were included in the episode, and therefore, if they were making that much per episode, then one could say that she was paid X-amount for putting pots of soup on the stove (and whatever tasks were included in that episode).

Ohhh...the Cupcake Episode. Just thinking about how crushed those poor boys were on their birthday breaks my heart. That episode and the discipline episode were the biggest clues that there was abuse of all sorts going on in that house...mental, emotional, physical. During the discipline episode even my husband said, "There is NO way all 8 kids would go to time out immediately just by their word. Maybe one or two would have that type of personality, but not all 8. They've either been beaten or threatened." And when Kate sat in the interview chair she said, "Oh, they just go." Yeah, right.

When the superfans get wind of the marathon, I wonder if they'll
acknowledge that TLC is also showing "J&K+8," or will they just
mention "K+8?" You know it pains them to speaketh the name (or
even the initial) of evil.

I remember one couch interview when Jon and TFW talked about
what a great team they were - something like finishing each other's sentences, thinking the same thing at the same time and getting it done. It seemed sweet and sincere. And once when they rattled
off the birth order of the tups in unison, I felt like, wow, these
2 have really been through something unique together, and there's
this amazing bond between them. Which makes it seem all the
more diabolical for TFW to pretend the man never existed. And
even worse, to let strangers attack him publicly.

One of the BV "thugs" has INSISTED to the sheeple that there WAS a settlement, without which Kate would not have dismissed her suit against Hoffman. It is that assertion on which they have all hung their collective brains, er, I mean, hats. This BV minion constantly makes these sorts of claims, none of which has to date been borne out by subsequent events. Similarly, the sheeple in question has made a lot of claims over the years that are simply not true. But she sticks by them, no matter how outlandish and twisted her ever-evolving explanations become--she hates to be proven wrong.

In the words Kate takes credit for coining, you can only "Consider the source and move on."

Sorry Midnight. She did get paid an extra $10,000, on top of her TLC money, for reading the book and promoting the movie The Tale of Despereaux. (The marketing promotion also included having her kids carrying around cute stuffed Despereaux dolls, and the family handing out Despereaux coloring books to the children at St. Jude.) In his book, Robert included the actual Amendment to the Talent Agreement giving the family permission to participate in a third-party promotion of the Universal Pictures theatrical release.

There is NO way all 8 kids would go to time out immediately just by their word. Maybe one or two would have that type of personality, but not all 8. They've either been beaten or threatened." And when Kate sat in the interview chair she said, "Oh, they just go." Yeah, right. 116

I think that was my first red flag.

She also says that she only deals in "facts". I had to laugh when I read her twitter bio:

"Be wary of truthers.They don't believe in facts.They believe their imaginings are fact. Will go 2 any lengths attempting 2 make their imaginings appear as fact."

Guess that makes her a "truther".

Tucker's Mom, to add to what you said. What was filmed will follow the children for the rest of their lives. As they go through adulthood looking for work, they'll hear "I saw you on J+K/8 when you XXXX". The children will never be able to escape their exploited childhood. When they confront their mother she'll probably say "I did it all for you".

Or, they will be confronted over and over again saying how awful their mother and/or father are (were). The children's lives are forever altered, and not in a good way.

My bad. So was it an additional $10,000 for each time the kids toted around a doll and for each promotion they did, like the one at St. Jude? If not, then that was included in the promo, and it wasn't just $10,000 for a brief reading of the book? Correct?

FlimsyFlamsy said...

You guys reminded me of the "rules" after the G siblings hit each
other. You needed to apologize to the kid you hit, and then hug.
Then how come the rules were different for TFW when she beat
the snot out of her toddler son, and then wanted an apology
from him?

"We don't hit." Yeah. What she meant was, "We don't hit - only
I do!"

Good grief. You just have to wonder how these people get through life perpetuating such nonsense and actually believing what they are saying is fact.

One of the BV "thugs" has INSISTED to the sheeple that there WAS a settlement, without which Kate would not have dismissed her suit against Hoffman. It is that assertion on which they have all hung their collective brains, er, I mean, hats. This BV minion constantly makes these sorts of claims, none of which has to date been borne out by subsequent events. Similarly, the sheeple in question has made a lot of claims over the years that are simply not true. But she sticks by them, no matter how outlandish and twisted her ever-evolving explanations become--she hates to be proven wrong.

I believe she was also the one who said, "Unless there's a photo, it didn't happen."

So unless we see the court documents and a photo of Robert handing her a check for the settlement, it didn't happen. LOL

Did anyone else see where a tweeter posted a photo of (presumably) the guy who calls himself Priest? This after Priest declared himself "und0xable". I guess he learned that nobody is ever und0xable.

I guess he learned a little lesson, now, didn't he? One can never be too careful online!

Yep, according to the contract she had with Discovery and in connection with Universal Pictures, she was paid that on top of the $22,500 plus expenses which she was already getting for the episode.

But, Auntie, has it ever been confirmed that at that time they were being paid $22,500 per episode? I thought that both of them claimed that that figure was inflated.

Robert says it's all there on the discs he has in his possession - tax and business records, personal and business contracts - for anyone to verify upon request. I tend to believe him. I'm sure he's added it all up, too and I'll bet she's sitting on a pile of $$.

When my oldest ds was in the 4th grade, his teacher let him borrow her copy of the book, "Where the Red Fern Grows". He was in the gifted program and she said he could read it. Well, he read about half of it and hadn't got to the part about what happens with Dan and Anne.

I told him, you have to find out what happens with Dan and Anne! There is a street in my hometown that intersects with each other, corner of Dan St. & Ann St.

So, that night, I put them all into their beds. We had 2 twin beds and 1 reg. bed in their room. I sat in the floor next to his bed and read the book till he went to sleep and the others always fell asleep before him! They were tired from school, watch a little tv, playing outside till almost dark, come in wash their hands, eat, bathe and go to bed.

Like normal kids. I wish this life for the Gosselin kids. Not exploited, work like mules, isolated from friends and family.

One of the sheeple, on her flog (failed blog) or her shlog (sheeple blog) is insisting that Kreider is going to sue Robert if he publishes the book because that would be a violation of the SETTLEMENT and AGREEMENT he made with her when SHE dropped her lolsuit.

Apparently (according to said sheeple) his lawyer quit on him because 1. "He's not the super duper hot shot the hater's claimed" (sic on the whole sentence)
2. "..Hoffie broke legal ethical protocol." (yeah, I don't know what that is either)

Normally I'd just ignore sheeple "humor" like that, even though their humor is almost universally based on cutting down private people. But this being the case, I'd ask them to please stop using that word immediately. In light of the association with racism it's incredibly inappropriate.

Even though there are only a few posters posting over and over, all they do is copy comments from here and bash away. The best part is they criticize and bash this group, they find that just fine.

That is the purpose for their blog. They switched from c/pasting RWA comments to ours when that blog closed. I may be alone in this opinion, but it makes me uncomfortable to even be discussing in general terms what they do over there. I'm so glad Admin doesn't allow blog on blog comments here and keeps this a safe and secure place to express our opinions.

Layla said...

Regarding Kate reading to the kids--we don't really know whether she read to them or not, so I'm not going to judge. My two oldest sons simply could not sit still long enough to be read to. They were always up and running around in seconds, begging me to play hide-and-seek instead. I actually felt guilty about it, believing that I should be reading to my kids, but what do I do if they don't want to be read to? The next two sons couldn't get enough. They would bring me piles and piles of books to read until I was tongue-tied and couldn't pronounce the words right. The rest of my boys were a mix--some liked being read to, some did not. I think you have to take into account the kids' preferences. I hope she tried.

Admin (152) and Sherry Baby (154),
That term is incredibly offensive to a whole race of people, and is not acceptable. You would think that they would check out any derogatory term they decide to call others before using it. To just throw around a word like that without checking it out shows such ignorance on their part. Maybe they are just a bunch of racist loons who can't stop themselves from showing their prejudice. Anyone who reads at that blog (I don't know what blog it is, and I don't want to know) could recognize a word like that and become very offended, and with good reason. Are they really that stupid?

I find that term incredibly offensive. As I have mentioned before (more than once, I know), I am an adoptive mom and therefore my boys are not all of the same skin color. Racist words infuriate me. They should infuriate anyone who hears or reads them. Of course they will continue to use that term, even though they know it is racist. Why would we expect anything more from them? I just hope there are no African-Americans who post there. Wouldn't want them to offend one of their own. Not that they would care.

Exactly. The actions I take are those I've been doing for quite some time: stopped watching J&K+8 once I realized that Kate was a truly awful mother; stopped watching TLC almost entirely in protest; post and discuss here. But that's plenty enough for me. Sooner or later, no matter how famous, how powerful, how wealthy a person might be - if they are truly vile, they will bring themselves down. Donald Sterling; Lance Armstrong; any number of elected officials caught either with their pants down or their hands out reaching for bribes. In the end, they always go too far and/or the public gets so sick and tired of them, they finally turn on them. Kate is her own worst enemy. Her need for public attention is an addiction.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Yes Millicent.

TLC is airing some of the most disturbing episodes. Trust the process. Trust that people are basically good people who want what's best for children. They're going to look at these episodes and do the right thing in that they won't approve. The sheeple are the minority. A lot of fans are really young and probably haven't seen the episodes or if they've seen them they were too young to really understand it. I think once they see these they're going to be rethinking this.

I'll say this, I'm getting a lot more hits this week. People are asking questions about what they're seeing and they're landing here. They may not say anything, but they're probably reading.

My DH has told me horror stories about his stepmother that I dare not repeat except to say she was an abuser of the worst kind. It took him years to even talk about it with me. He has one ONE good memory about her and that is that she made very good buns every Monday. Having one after school was a privilege, although that was taken away often for the slightest transgression.

I think that's why I find Kate so disgusting. Her abusive parenting is worse than her entitlement mentality.

These next few weeks may finally bring her down with the two specials and Robert's book release. Yes, there will be plenty of publicity (and she'll go manic) but it will be very bad for her. I am sorry for the kids but at least they are not in school right now and have to deal with their classmates.

Frankly, I do not have an issue with Jon if he did collaborate by being interviewed by Robert. Is he splitting the profits? I do not know and I do not care. Jon has a story to tell too. He has given Kate plenty of time to co-parent and she refuses. The damage has been done. Time to get it all out and start fresh.

We can rest assured that GMA will be given a list of safe questions and Kate is rehearsing her lies. Will anyone ever dare to throw her off and ask probing questions? It won't happen unless Robert's book is discussed outside of entertainment tabloids.

I tried for a long time last night to find the link to the 100th episode with Emeril. I can not find it. I went to TLC, they don't have it or I couldn't find it and Netflix is only showing, Season 4 and 5. It is in Season 5. There is a promo for it on YT that is 55 seconds long and it shows her hitting him with the spanker. Then she leans over behind him and laughs to the producer? Maybe JS?

Then she leans back over and giggling hits him again harder and he is rubbing his arm, but they don't show that.

There were several things to get mad at her on that show. She fed the kids on the prison trays while the adults eat on regular china. I think Emeril was taken aback by that. Wasn't the kids still in the high chairs? And Emeril had all the tups sitting on barstools at the bar and they all had a job to do to help. The were not fighting, bothering each other. They were listening! And doing their job well.

He was giving them so much self-esteem and confidence! They just loved him. He made kate look like a total jackwagon. This is one of the reasons why she got rid of Aunt Jodi. Because it can be done with love and patience. And she didn't want her to get paid.

I wish TLC would of went to AJ privately and said, hey, we want to compensate you for all you have done on the show and we want you to be on the show and we want to pay you. We will draw up an agreement ND and we will keep it from kate. They should of done this and not let kate find out. The way she done AJ about the half of an organic side of beef is repulsive. She got it free, then sold half of it to AJ.

If anyone can find the link to the Emeril hitting, TIA! Oh, my Silverlight plug in would not let me play it and I tried downloading it and it still didn't work. Maybe when my IT son visits he can do it.

The Gosselin clan will be traveling to Georgia. They will be the guests of the Honey Boo Boo family, living with them for a week. Mama June will introduce Kate to extreme couponing as a way to finance pageants and how to give extras back to the community. Honey Boo will work with the Gosselin kids to prepare for the "Perfect Child" glitz pageant, with the help of a former beauty queen (Sarah Palin). All children will participate, boys and girls. Mama June and Kate will talk cooking and cookbooks. How will Kate handle the pressures of pageants? Will Honey Boo win the golden platter or will it be one of the Gosselins or some other child? Will Mama June smack some sense into Kate? Will Kate understand anything the Boo Boo family says? Will Sugar Bear gag over Kate's eggplant parmesan? Farting and burping will ensue.

So unless we see the court documents and a photo of Robert handing her a check for the settlement, it didn't happen. LOL

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Two things are at play here. They believed the "Robert settled" story hook, line and sinker. They also thought that Robert's book would never see the light of day again.

20 months after the release of the first edition of the book, Kate and the sheeple are no better off now than they were then. All their efforts have been for literally nothing. It seems like the sheeple thought that at the very least, the book is never coming back out again. Oh snap. Since now they can't say it's lies and made up stories, they are going to go with the storyline that Robert settled with Kate, and is now "breaking legal ethical protocol" by putting it out again. I'm waiting for "a source close to Kate" to run to Radar with this drivel.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Kate drop Robert's suit without prejudice? Meaning she can sue him again for the same allegations. Why would any sane person pay someone off to have a case dropped, then allow to door to stay open to be sued again? To me, it's plain as day that there was no settlement here, the documents that were able to be viewed on PACER prove this. Here's a situation where there is the indisputable proof they demand, but they choose to ignore it because it doesn't fit their agenda.

Fired Up 4 Kate (@MiloandJack)

6/16/14, 9:30 PM
@Kateplusmy8 Media rounds in NYC....long tiring day 4U. But I know ur happy 2b working! #SingleMomSupportingHerKids. :)

Is Milo assuming this or what?
---------------------------------

I think Milo saw some tweets about Kate being on Bethany yesterday(which was a repeat), and she automatically assumed Kate is doing the talk show rounds to promote the special.

I think it's funny how she didn't mention GMA, which is where Kate is actually scheduled to appear.

Milo has no self awareness. She's mentioned all these shows Kate is "usually" on to promote but she has no earthly idea if Kate is really going to be on. Now if Kate is NOT on, which she may very well not be, she has just completely embarrassed her. She's so dumb.

I hate how she speaks for Kate too like she's her assistant or something. It's so obnoxious when she tries to tell other fans what is going on like she knows more than they do when she doesn't.

Kate's working, Kate's busy.

Wtf. You have no idea if Kate is really "working" or just sitting on her ass. Stop.

When I read all that BV mess and the people he associates himself with, it makes perfect sense he and Kate formed some alliance. I wonder if money changed hands? I believe so, at least something got BV hot to pounce on Kate's enemies. His motivation is money.

Guess this one didn't get the memo about not mentioning the book to Kate:

I can't remember who posted upthread, but there was a comment here about Inside Edition, and some other similar shows. Something about
maybe they can squeeze her in or something? It was very similar to Milo's tweet. MILO READ THAT HERE! LOL
