Beth Carson breaks her silence

The notoriously tight-lipped former best friend of Kate and beloved caregiver of the children has finally spoken out about the book she wrote for Kate, and their fractured relationship. 

Beth's relationships with the children, whom she says she helped watch

for "a week at a time," was  always very loving and warm. In this screen capture

from Gosselins Go Sking, Beth tells Aaden that she has to go home early for her

daughter's birthday but that she would like to take Aaden with her in her suitcase. 

Aaden responds with enthusiastic and adorable nodding.

Some highlights from the interview:

• Beth wrote Multiple Blessings "absolutely" all herself, and she and Kate had agreed to a 50-50 split of the proceeds. Kate later tried to take back the deal and cut her down to at least a third. Beth had a lawyer and made sure she got her original cut. 
• Beth's friendship with Kate ended after Kate cut Beth off from the promotion of Multiple Blessings (despite tweets from Kate in 2011 claiming Beth is still in her life). Beth confirms that is a lie, that she hasn't spoken to Kate "for years and years."
• Beth tried to keep up the relationship with Jon afterward, but it got "messy."
• Beth "purposely" has not commented for years.

Meanwhile, when asked if what Beth is saying is true, Kate responded on twitter: "no." Give it up, Kate.
