Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack
@Peaches22558 @Kateplusmy8 Dont know who you are...but please stop the solicitations. This is NOT an issue 4me or 4Kate. #StatusQuoIsFine
******
Is this Peaches person trying to raise funds so Milo can fly to Philly and meet Kate? What solicitations is Milo referring to?

Someone posted an earlier tweet by Milo responding to this same person, saying that she (Milo) has her own money and there was no need to try to raise some for her.

Very interesting.
********
Twitter haterz are poking Milo and making her react. It was funny, but now it's kinda mean.
They're soliciting TLC to film Milo flying to PA to meet Kate. The "block party" would be the perfect foil, but Milo is panicking telling them to quit it!

angie said...

I think it's funny Milo is catching some shit about why she won't meet Kate.
She's got to get used to it, you want to play in the sandbox, when you are flinging shit someone's going to fling it back at ya. LOL

(I think Milo is Kate, or Jamie...it has to be someone she knows).

Sad but true said...

When there's no way to defend the indefensible . . . yeah, trot out that hilarious bird again! And while I believe that Zorro might have ADventures, I doubt he has ventures.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what "ventures" do they speak of? It's a crappy, dark photo of Zorro on some books and binders.
Ventures? Really?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Ventures is right. One slip up and that bird is dead.

This has opened a whole can of worms because you can easily see who is commenting and liking and check out their profiles. Some of the people on there look like accounts belonging to other kids in the family. I am very much aware there are a lot of fake accounts out there but I can't rule out all the ones I've seen as fake. In fact one I saw doesn't seem fake at all.

Kate being Kate probably doesn't have the foggiest idea that all you have to do is like a photo and everyone can check out your profile.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

Gladys is probably thrilled that the conversation has shifted to Zorro. She certainly had her own feathers in a bunch! This ought to keep
her going until lights out.

ncgirl said...

If Milo is who she claims to be, I don't see why she wouldn't want to meet Kate. I'm shy, but if I had a chance to meet my favorite celebrity, I would. And I don't really feel sorry for Milo if she's getting flustered by the meet Kate campaign. She put it all out there. She's supposedly an adult and can take it like a big girl.

Formerly Duped said...

I'm sure Milo has a secret she doesn't want Kate to know about.

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

I think it goes much deeper than that. This isn't just a fan. This is someone who is suffering from Celebrity Worship Syndrome, where she actually believes that she knows the person, is part of the family, and is involved in all aspects of the celebrity's life. When the cruise was announced, Milo asked Kate how she "envisions" her if they ever meet. Right then and there most people following this saga knew that something was "off." It's an interesting study into the psychology of obsessed fans.

That's right, it goes deeper. This can't be compared to a random fan who is a stable, normal person who just happens to like and want to meet a celeb they appreciate. You're right, this is Celebrity Worship Syndrome, where Milo's whole identity is wrapped up in Kate.

It kind of dawned on me that what happened to I-wanna may be Milo's greatest fear. As I understand the short story, Iwanna and Kate were talking and sort of flirting, Iwanna met Kate in person, and suddenly, contact ended abruptly and Iwanna sort of faded away. I am becoming more and more convinced that Milo is petrified that if she meets Kate, she won't meet Kate's approval (could be for something real or imagined when it comes to Milo) and she will meet the same fate as Iwanna. Milo's greatest fear, I think, is that her "relationship" with Kate will end. Even a little bone here and there is better than none, in Milo's eyes.

FlimsyFlamsy said...

As delusional as Gladys is, I think somewhere in her heart she
knows that TFW is capable of ending relationships at the drop
of a hat. Poof, you're gone. And she cannot risk that. It would
destroy her.

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

That might be exactly it, especially since Milo and Iwana were early tweeting buddies. Iwana was the first person Milo followed after she followed Kate. Right now she's comfy and secure as Kate's spokeswoman. Kate dropped Iwana; she could drop her.

On the other hand, if Milo IS Iwana, then there's that ... I won't say I think Milo is Iwana, but I do remember Milo first ingratiated herself with Kate and then lobbied HARD for him. Think about it: if she were Iwana, what a perfect ploy. Became Kate's friend and then endorse and push herself/himself to Kate. Genius. Iwana had one big fat crush on Kate, even while married. At least, I think he was married at the time?

Over In TFW's County said...

It was Lancaster Mom, or Over in Kate's Country (might not have the names correct)..but one local poster said papers HAD

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

Nope. Not me, and as far as I can see it wasn't PA Dutch or Lanc Native. The only thing I saw about it was the statement from Jon's attorney. If you can find it, it would be interesting to know what local posted that papers had been filed. I looked and couldn't find it.

AuntieAnn said...

I'm beginning to think Zorro is dead so they had him stuffed and now they just prop him up in various locations around the house -- sitting on books, up a shirt sleeve, between Kate's boobs...

redbird said...

Admin, your analysis of Iwana/Milo/Kate makes so much sense. Milo saw how great they were on twitter, then they met, then BAM!! CHOPPED.

This reminds me of when TFW and TFM was filmed coming into an airport and TFW was walking coming up to a nice man who had a bouquet of flowers and TFW knew he was going to give them to her. You ought to see her body language. Her whole body was in a heave, and her facial expression looked like she was choking and trying to catch her breath and her eyes got big as saucers and she barely looked at TFM and it was like, TAKE CARE OF THIS INTRUDER IN MY SPACE!!! He even said something really nice to her. He was not threating in anyway. I wish I could find the link to it.

I think it was a local reporter or even a pap.

Does anyone remember this?

That would be the William Holden_Lucille Ball scenario. She can't meet her because Kate already knows who she is.

If anything, I love a good mystery!

Jeanne said...

Milo wouldn't have to be in a mental hospital to have lights out. I assumed that if you're in a shared room at a nursing home they would have a lights out time so roomies don't fight about it.

If there was a show with Milo meeting Kate, I would watch that. Hey TLC, you might get some better ratings for this one. Get right on that.

The stuffed dog on Scrubs was great. I don't know if Zorro is dead, but death might be preferable to the way they appear to abuse him.

TMZ Live discussion about Kate's date with Jeff and how they caught her in a lie. She is the first topic discussed.

I remember something like that--I think it was around 2010 or early 2011, when she was at the height of her popularity. SHe acted like she was just too special to have to even be touched or approached by the mediocre masses. Oh, how she wishes she could go back to those times again...

Layla said...

One quote from Jon in one of the recent articles about the about Hannah was very interesting. He said something about how Kate isn't able to afford the kind of lifestyle they once had. Oh, really? Perhaps things aren't so wonderful over in Gosselin-land these days. If she's getting short on cash, you bet she'd take her frustrations out on the kids. She had them so that they could support her in the lifestyle she wanted, and they aren't doing that so much anymore. After all, she would never blame herself.It's never her fault.

DisgustedwithKate said...

I went and took a look at SEVERAL of Iwana's tweets and several things stood out. He constantly used exclamation points !!!! in his tweets(I'm not sure if Milo does this). On a few occasions he left off the letter "g" in a word (meetin). He may be from the South because he used the word ya'll instead of you all. Strangely I could not find any tweets where it was just he and Milo communicating (I did see one tweet where he included Milo. Admittedly, I didn't go through ALL of his tweets so they could have tweeted. Milo was the first person Iwana followed on Twitter. Iwana was the third person Milo followed (Kate was first, Twitpic second). I find it very strange that as far as I know, Milo has never tweeted concern for Iwanas's disappearance from Twitter. The whole situation is just strange imo.

Millicent said...

Thanks Tucker's Mom for clarifying why Milo is freaking out. And I think the idea that Milo saw what happened with Iwanna and decided to never risk the same fate is very plausible. It's hard to figure Milo out, because what a normal, rational person might do has no bearing on what Milo might say or do.

Dear lawd, the ladies of TMZ need to calm the heck down about a single, 40-year old woman going on a date.
I find it funny that all anyone says about this guy, Jeff, is how rich he is. How do they know? Have they vetted his financial portfolio?
And big deal he's got his arm around her!
That means he's sooooooooooo into her?
Of course Kate lied before. It's what Kate does. She tries to be mysterious so that anything revealed about her is tabloid worthy.

How long will it be before Kate loses interest in the Zorro blog? She couldn't even update her own blog in several years. Nothing holds her attention for very long. Very shortly, this will be forgotten.

This all makes perfect sense. I can't believe it took me this long to connect the dots. Especially with all the contact Milo used to have with this person. Iwanna is part of the Milo mystery in some form, I'm sure of it.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Layla, yes, and due to aging the kids probably will never have the appeal they once did. Even when TLC keeps throwing in old clips when they were babies, every clip is like TLC saying "you're not cute enough anymore." They might as well just say it.

The thing is, it's not the children's fault they are older and not cute anymore. But, Kate will resent them for it, for ruining her dreams and what they once had by growing up.

By the way we decided the next series we would marathon watch, reluctantly on my part, is Bates Motel. I was pleasantly surprised. Acting and writing so far is 5 stars. Whoever wrote it must have done extensive research about narcissistic mothers. They've written Mrs. Bates textbook.

He argued that Ashley's father, the founder and CEO of Nature's Youth, a nutritional supplement distribution company, has the financial wherewithal to pay for an interpreter himself.

''How am I going to stay in business doing stuff like that?'' asked Samson. ''I don't receive state or federal funds.''

Jeffrey Jones said he won't pay based on principle.

''What about the guy behind (Ashley) who doesn't have the money?'' he asked during an interview at his home. ''It's not about economics. It's about the law. It's about setting precedent.''

Jones said he has lodged a verbal complaint against Professional Driving Schools Inc. with the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles and is considering a discrimination lawsuit.

Was DWTS always this fantastic?

I watched the few episodes when Kate "performed'. I hadn't watched since.

I wanted to see Suzanne Somers, so I tuned in at the beginning of this season. I got hooked quickly.

I just watched the first part of the finale. How could anyone choose one dancer to win? The 3 finalists are each amazing. Noah isn't the best dancer, but he brings since heart and inspiration.

Worth watching just to see Bruce Willis with tears of pride in his eyes.

I want the ALL to win!

Two things that I can think of. To me, it's obvious that the sheep are only really interested in Kate. Sure, they give an "I love your kids!!!" and "your kids are so cute!!" once in a while, but overall, I think they could take them or leave them at this point.
Second, animal blogs and other social media accounts are pretty niche and you have to offer something more than bad photography and worse, insulting updates telling people who take the time to follow, why you're NOT updating.
It can be imaginative and fun to anthropomorphize animals if you have the talent to do it.
I can say that I'm positive Kate has had machinations about writing children's books about the animal inmates on the compound, because picture books with few words are so easy.
Not so much.
It takes talent and imagination to execute children's books and I don't think Kate can pull it off.
At least not by herself...

I watched the premier of Wayward Pines and I already know it's not for me. Too weird. Great cast but I think the storyline is going to stretch my willing suspension of disbelieve to the breaking point. I'm not into sci-fi or whatever you call that particular genre.

Maybe it was a "long time ago" (seems the discussion was pretty recent, like months not years) My question was in relation to recent news, seeing as one child is tying to defect.

Yes, that's a fact. They all eat from the same trough.
It just cracks me up that this Jeff is dubbed "Millionaire Jeff". Again, I think he and Kate carefully leaked their story and are controlling the narrative.
Why focus on having a couple million dollars? Big whoop! Kate raked that in in what? 2009.
Why isn't the story how HE'S dating a millionaire?
I think it's obvious to take the focus off the strangeness of changing his name, as a grown man and as a FATHER, being associated with companies and organizations that have virtually no internet footprint, and a history of domestic violence.

Hey, everyone, look at Kate with the guy that's driving a Range Rover and flashing Benjamins!!!! Pay no attention to the concerning and morally questionable things he's done!!

For you Mad Men fans, here's a great review of the finale:

http://tomandlorenzo.com/2015/05/mad-men-person-to-person

They've also reviewed all of the previous MM episodes as well as other tv shows and movies. They're thorough, insightful, and fill in the blanks on many story lines. Their costume explanations thru the years and the relevance to the characters and their story lines made so much sense. I'll miss the show - it was such a great reminder of that era which I also miss. LOL I highly recommend going back and reading them if you're so inclined. ;-)

FlimsyFlamsy said...

The biggest red flag for me with this "millionaire" is that he said
TFW has a great business mind and is a good mom. That let
me know he is a poor judge of both intellect and character.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Bloomberg reports that both Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant are cool to the idea of producing their own reality TV shows because they just don’t think interest in such content holds up over long periods and thus isn’t useful for building audience loyalty.

“The kind of disposable nature of reality, basically doesn’t have much of a long shelf life,” Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix said at an investor conference this week. “It hasn’t been a great category for us.”

Great article. And I'd love for quality scripted television to be the death of reality TV.

I remember this very thing being raised as a concern 13 years ago when reality hit it really big. I distinctly remember a lot of commentators saying well wait a second, the real bread and butter of TV shows is reaching syndication. THAT's where the real money is. How will reality shows run in syndication? You see it once, see who's voted off, and you never have to see it again.

More than any other genre reality TV does not lend itself to syndication, and that's bad news for bottom lines. Sure TLC re-runs their shows all the time, but their numbers for re-runs are dismal. But a show like Game of Thrones could run in syndication conceivably forever. Look at Little House on the Prairie.

NJGal51 said...

Tucker's Mom - I agree completely about DWTS. I don't agree with all the 10's last night either. I admire all that Noah has had to overcome but when you come right down to it this is supposed to be a dancing competition and he really should be the next to go. He should have been gone before Derek and his partner (still can't spell her name). It's a popularity contest and I wouldn't be surprised to see him win (I'm hoping for Rumer though).

The latest rumors are that Bruce Jenner will be competing in the next season and Derek and Mark vying to be his/her partner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I agree! He must of been under a rock when his "hot girlfriend" was on CA and her tv show inflicting abuse on the kids and the animals. What a team! He is an abuser, she is an abuser. If they get together for real, they will abuse each other. That is how they roll.

She was so out of her league on CA. Also, liked the way Harvey's sidekick said he couldn't see her pants because they were on fire! He slapped his legs and said, On fire. Liar, Liar. hahaha

Disappointed Harvey didn't ask her about the Rich Boys domestic violence record. I wonder if that was a stipulation, do not ask me that.

JoyinVirginia said...

Dmasy, DWTS has improved over the years. They are always shifting the pros a bit, someone leaves or takes of a season, someone else comes on. They added the "contemporary" dance category.
They have embraced contestants of wide age range, disabilities (Amy Purdy was double below knee amputee) , physical size (Amber Riley said her win showed big girls could dance just as well as anyone). I love it, it's always a fun mix of people. The costume design, makeup and hair and set design are outstanding. It's fun to see how people act when they really have to work hard.

Tonight is finale. I want Rumer to win, but I will be satisfied with whoever wins. They have all worked hard and all deserve it. Noah has a prosthetic arm they planned to use in one dance, weeks ago, and he made the decision to not use it. It was throwing off his timing and balance. I think that's really gutsy, to tell his pro Shawna no, we are going to do this without the arm. And shawna deserves an award for her choreography!

Bloomberg reports that both Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant are cool to the idea of producing their own reality TV shows because they just don’t think interest in such content holds up over long periods and thus isn’t useful for building audience loyalty.

“The kind of disposable nature of reality, basically doesn’t have much of a long shelf life,” Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix said at an investor conference this week. “It hasn’t been a great category for us.”

Great article. And I'd love for quality scripted television to be the death of reality TV.

Reality is the rail liquor of television. Netflix and Amazon are producing world-class, BBC-worthy shows.
I heard that Sofia Vergara is doing a reality show with Joe Muscles. Now, she's as big of a Hollywood star as they come right now (he's a hot commodity, too), and I believe it's on Snapchat.
That doesn't sound like a big "deal" to me.

TLC can squeeze more juice out of reruns with shows like J+K+8, because when Jon was on, the kids were so little and cute.
Plus, Jon's character was essential for that show to work.

I don't think the media is in bed together about the Jeff story. I think it's more the nature of journalism today actually. They got their tag line: "Kate Gosselin dating a millionaire!" and now it's on to the next gossip.

Actually, I think if it were specifically pointed out to them, with verified sources, about Jeff's shady history, most would publish it. If I'm not mistaken when this story first broke several months ago some of them DID publish a few things from his history.

I'm not suggesting anyone should alert the media of our findings, but I'm saying if someone did, and they could easily verify it all and didn't have any legal concerns with publishing it, I'd bet they'd run it.

Tabloid journalism moves a mile a minute these days. The pressure to get something else is tremendous. The sort of in depth journalism of the past is not going to happen on a D list reality star's 2 minute story from last week. They'd be doing it at the expense of the next big headline and that's what gets you fired. I find myself sort of defensive of the state of journalism these days. There was a news cycle when I was in journalism, and the cycle allowed you the luxury of going down rabbit holes and chasing after rainbows that may or may not pan out. I imagine being a journalist today you're under such pressure to constantly have new and active tweets and stories, almost 24/7, that any time you used to have delving deeper is now a luxury. You'd probably have to take time off these days to chase some in depth story down multiple threads. Truly.

There is no news cycle anymore, and this is the result.

Just because Prescott's company (Dreamstime), he is the COO and co-founder, is worth an estimated $30 mil, that does not mean that he is worth that. These stupid tabloids don't know what they are talking about.

Right, but they don't have time or access to figure out what that number really means and how much Jeff is actually worth. It would be hard to take a peek at his personal bank accounts. It would not be at all surprising if he were only drawing a salary of 300,000 or so. Hardly a millionaire. They need to explain look this is what the business is supposed to be worth, Lord knows what the individuals part of it are worth, we don't have the first clue.

Shark Tank actually does a good job of explaining exactly how a lot of businesses work. Routinely business will come in with a million in sales, and nobody is drawing a salary and they're still living on a friend's couch. To say they are "millionaires" is not really accurate. It's a million on paper. Most of it is eaten up with costs or put back into inventory and other business needs.

Opinions differ. Some of the share tankers think every cent should go back into the business when it's in its infancy. Mark routinely talks about living like a college student while starting his businesses. He is a billionaire now, so the strategy worked out for him.

Of course, they are talking about start ups. They're talking about their first year or so. We are not talking about some huge company and not drawing a salary. That would be silly. In any case, I'm sure Jeff draws a salary, but it can't be $30 million.

Kate's business mind works in a different way. This guy Jeff, if he is loaded, is a terrific business choice.
For her.
What will be interesting is seeing what happens when and if she does move on from Steve.
Any guy would be crazy to allow Steve to be a third party in their lives and finances.
Something about Jeff actually walking Kate to go tinkle has me thinking that Steve's days are numbered.
Not that Kate can throw much business his way lately. It's not like when TLC was pimping, uh, pumping out an episode per week.

Milo and the sheep have the nerve to call out the non-fans for being busybodies when, in fact, they want to know what Kate is doing, what the kids are up to, what's for dinner, where they went on their vacation, ad nauseam. Milo and her really nosy question about the kids' underwear showed the extent of her busybodiness (is that a word?). She is at it already today, butting in and defending Kate/Mady on the lack of Zorro posts.

I have never seen such hypocrisy. The sad thing is that I really doubt if they have any self-awareness. I wonder if this hypocrisy carries through to the "real life" and it's just not something common to their Twitter/cyber world where they can hide behind their assumed identities, say whatever they want and not risk looking like fools there because nobody really knows them.

I mean she's not ugly (well her outside isn't too bad, inside, we all know how dark and horrible she is). And if Jeff has a shady past, well, it makes even more sense why they would be involved together.

You have told us your living situation. Is there a set lights out time? Is it because of roomates, or the nursing home rules. I would guess they want to make sure people are up all not. You could shed some light on this issue for us it would be appreciated, if not too personal, I would understand.

I had to shake my head when I read that some of the fans didn't believe the custody dispute because Hannah hadn't confirmed this. I guess that Kate should have called Today and scheduled an appearance so that Hannah herself could have said that everything reported in the tabs is a lie and that things are fine at home, she loves her mom, wants to stay where she is and Jon just made all of this up to get back at Kate.

I imagine, too, that none of them believe Jon's attorney who has come out and said that papers have indeed been filed in regards to a change in custody agreement. Attorneys always make up stuff like that because they want publicity!

She did the next best thing she could have, which was to trot Hannah out for the photo at the run. It was so blatantly obvious what she was doing. It would have been better if she had just shut up and not tried an inept attempt at damage control. She's so transparent, and I really wonder if she knows that it doesn't take too much to see right through her.

Yet, she keeps doing this stuff because I honestly think that she thinks that the sheep aren't too bright and she can fool all of them. So many of them worship her, call her the best mom ever, an inspiration and absolutely amazing because she does everything all by herself. Jon is dead.

With some of them, Milo included, admiration is the daughter of ignorance.

I know! What do they expect Hannah to do, call a press conference? She's not on social media, according to her mother, so she can't exactly make an announcement. But her situation signals a change in the dynamics of the G household. They kids are finally getting old enough to speak out. They are able to make up their own minds about whether they want to film. Kate is losing control. She can't shut them up forever. Hannah is the first, but she won't be the last. Just wait til the kids come of age! It's really going to hit the fan then, and there's nothing Kate can do to stop it.

The smartest thing Kate could do right now is take a step back and let her family fade into obscurity. Otherwise, future revelations will get huge publicity. She claims that she can't provide for the kids without a show, but if she has set herself up in a lifestyle she cannot maintain without exploiting her kids, then she has nobody to blame but herself for everything that comes out in the future.

angie said...

Kate can try to trot out happy happy happy nothing-to-see-here pics but I don't see the point of trying to win the court of public opinion when the only thing that matter is the court of LAW.
Who knows what's going on with H, or any of the kids for that matter. Kate lies and Jon's silent.
Only time will tell the truth.
(I'd never show my face again if I'd been turned into child services multiple times {and by different people, geez), locked my kids in their rooms at night, hit my children with wooden spoons and forced them to eat day old lunches and moldy food.

How this un-fit mother still has custody boggles the mind.

Jumping In said...

Hannah has to know her mother put that picture up to show a united front, while simultaneously discrediting Jon and the custody story.

When my nephew was 5 he asked me, "why does Mommy talk nice to everyone but me?" It broke my heart because he knew at that very young age that his mother showed one side to most, but treated him
harshly. Kids know when they are being used and/or manipulated.

At the very least, either Mady or Cara would see right through their mother's thinly veiled attempt to show that all is well in Gosslinland.
Cara has always struck me as the one who wants out, and knows her mother's true motives. But, I imagine she feels pressure from both her mother and Mady to keep both the filming and the lifestyle going.

The dysfunction in this household, all to keep their mother famous, will stay with them for life. Sad.

@GeeWhiz__ @Kateplusmy8 Yes...they claim advocacy against child abuse...then get on twitter & blogs and verbally abuse one of the twins! 😟

Which one of the twins has been verbally abused on twitter and blogs?

My heart goes out to these girls for having to live in such a dysfunctional household under the control of a mother whose mental maturity hasn't progressed beyond age 12, or 14 max. When a parent has no idea how to parent and serve as a role model, it's certainly not the child's fault. Children learn what they live, and sadly, what they are learning from Kate will not have a positive outcome in their emotional development and maturity.

These kids don't deserve verbal abuse. What they need is for their mother to get therapy to help her cope with her anger over the divorce, learn how to parent and respect their wishes when one or more doesn't want to film, and above all else, stop this horrible parental alienation and make co-parenting work for the sake of the children.

Josh duggar scandal
'19 KIDS AND COUNTING'
SON NAMED IN UNDERAGE
SEX PROBE
May 19, 2015 3:12PM | by In Touch Weekly
Getty Images

Josh Duggar of the TLC hit reality show 19 Kids and Counting was named in a police report as the “alleged offender” in an underage sexual abuse probe, In Touch magazine is reporting exclusively.

The charge being pursued while Josh was a minor was sexual assault in the fourth degree, multiple sources who have seen the police report and are familiar with the case told In Touch. According to the report, Josh was brought into the Arkansas State Police by his father, Jim Bob, who said he caught him leaving a young girl’s bedroom and “learned something inappropriate happened,” one source said.

A bizarre turn of events prevented police and prosecutors from finishing their investigation and possibly prosecuting. The state trooper who originally took the report about Josh shortly before 2005 never followed up. That state trooper was later convicted on child pornography charges and is serving a 56-year prison sentence.

RELATED: Josh and Anna Duggar Reveal Gender of Baby No. 4

When the state trooper ran into trouble, someone from the Arkansas State Police alerted the Child Abuse Hotline about the Duggar situation that had been sitting inactive. That’s when the Crimes Against Children Division and Springdale Police Department got involved. By then the three-year statute of limitations had passed and it would not have been possible to pursue prosecution of Josh if the allegations warranted, so the investigation was discontinued. “A technicality prevented any further action,” a source familiar with the case told In Touch. “That’s been the biggest regret in all of this.” (The statute of limitations has since been lengthened.)

Sgt. Darrel Hignite — identified by multiple sources as the officer who led the investigation into the allegations about Josh — told In Touch: “I can’t comment or discuss [this case] because of the sensitive nature and because it involved a juvenile.”

Rumors about Josh have swirled for years, but In Touch’s investigation has uncovered the secret he has been hiding. “I saw and read the report and it clearly stated that Jim Bob brought his son Josh into the Arkansas State Police and spoke to a state trooper about Josh’s involvement in alleged inappropriate touching with a minor,” one source told In Touch.

RELATED: Anna Duggar Congratulates Pregnant Jessa Duggar

The first report was filed shortly before 2005. Josh and his wife, Anna, have three children and live in Washington, D.C., where he is a lobbyist for the Family Research Council.

getoftweeter said...

Admin: The Josh sex thing I heard of that years ago. With the Duggars, it's hard to say what they consider inappropriate, since most things to them, that are normal to us is inappropriate to them. The rumour I read is Josh was curious and/or was sexually abusing one of or more than one of his sisters. His punishment was to confess to his parents & family and ask God & his sisters for forgiveness, and that it was not to happen again and that was the end of it. There was no mention of Jimbob taking Josh to the police. There also was a rumour flying around back then, that the Duggars had an older daughter,(older than Josh, who was excommunicated from the family, cause she did not go along with the family ideas on life. I do think, who ever put out that one was getting Amy Duggar confused with who she was. Amy is Jimbob's sisters out of wedlock kid. Both of Amy parents did get married many years after Amy was born. Rumours are rumours.

He was a minor, the girl was a minor. They went into a bedroom (gasp!) What did he do, feel her knee? Welcome to puberty, Jim Bob.
HIs own FATHER turned him in? Good grief. Way to turn a hormonal teenage boy into a sex offender.

Josh is 27. This happened in 2005 which would have made him 17. Certainly older than what's appropriate for a "playing doctor" or "touching a knee" scenario. If it was two young people not following the Duggar chastity code, I would imagine the results would have been prayers, lectures, more prayers & an early engagment. But JimBob apparently felt it was serious enough to take outside of their tight family circle. And according to the article, the police didn't laugh about an over-reacting father - it says they were considering sexual assault charges but the statute of limitations ran out.

In any case, did the Duggar parents honestly think that this information would never come out once they put their family in the media limelight? The TV show started just a few years later, so I would imagine the police inquiry was still fairly fresh in their minds.

I do not understand how parents can put their children in the path of media scrutiny especially knowing that there is such a huge skeleton in the closet just waiting to be found.

capecodmomma, I just Googled Jeffrey Jones in West Barnstable and this August 2005 article eventually showed up. I hesitated because of the daughter, but it's public information. I find this JeffreyJones/Prescott kind of an enigma with the name change, so I wanted to see if anything showed up in his home town. http://t.capecodtimes.com/article//20050808/NEWS01/308089987

Besides, nothing disappears on the Internet. There are still pictures online of his house on the market which sold in 2014. Very nice digs. Several names of companies are associated with the address. I can't decide if the guy is entrepreneurial or a scammer.

The name change is just so dang weird.

I really don't care what Kate's fans say about anything. I have a very low opinion of them and it doesn't help them one bit every time they open their mouths and say the stupidest things. First of all of course people are going to bad mouth Maddy that's what social media is all about. And if Kate insist on keeping her on TV it's going to get worse.

My hubby and one of my sons were at the Clippers playoff game where Khloe and Kendall were booed! My son said the booing was really really loud. And weren't the Jenner girls booed at the Billboard Music Awards?? Yes they're rich and famous but they are also hated and booed at.

I'm so glad my kids work and pay their own way. And no one hates them or boo them when they go places. Life is good!!

Thank you Rainbirdie. I was a bit concerned that this issue was being sloughed off as typical teen stuff, but with the details we had, I guess some thought that was fair.

Here's what I found for the State of Arkansas...

"5-14-107 Sexual Assault in the fourth degree:
a. A person commits sexual assault in the fourth degree being 20 years or older, he engages in sexual
intercourse, deviate sexual activity, or sexual contact with another person not his spouse who is less than
sixteen (16) years old.
b. Sexual Assault in the fourth degree is a Class A misdemeanor.
5-14-110 Sexual indecency with a child:
a. A person commits sexual indecency with a child if, being eighteen (18) years old or older, he solicits
any person is less than fifteen 15 or who is represented to be less than 15 to engage in sexual intercourse,
deviate sexual activity, or sexual contact or with the purpose to arouse or gratify the sexual desires of the
person, or any other person, or the person purposefully exposes the person’s sex organs to another person
less than 15 years of age. It is an affirmative defense if the person is within three years of age of the victim.
b. Sexual indecency with a child is a Class D felony."

TLC Stinks, wow, that's a great find! I'd like to propose a new
nickname for Mr. Prescott: Jeff Millionaire. In honor of one of
TV's first reality stars, Joe Millionaire. In his bio, it says he's
an "international entrepreneur." For some reason, that made
me think of the Bugs Bunny cartoon when Bugs is hypnotized
into thinking he's Elmer Fudd. He has to keep repeating,
"I am Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht."

This is making me think the business venture might be another co-written book. If it's as successful as TFW's last tome, Jeff
Millionaire may want to change his name again.

He strikes me as a stereotypical used car salesman. With apologies to used car salesman.

Everything about his resume and history is about sell-sell-sell. Sell the brand, sell products, sell him. Making money off things that you can't really PROVE, like health books and supplements and other self-help related things, setting up foundations no one can find, setting up BUSINESSES no one can find information about, changing his name for no apparent reason. Who changes your name in your 40s???

He seems like a total sleezeball. Almost carpet bag politician-like.

He strikes me a mostly a con-man who's gotten by on his good looks. He can really pass for the country club set (well, if he cleaned up) and fool people into thinking he must be successful because of flash, not substance.
Happens all the time.
Again, I see no evidence that he's actually very wealthy.

I know wealthy people and everything about them is palpable, especially their well-earned career success. I can point to their education, provable resume, companies they've worked for or founded, etc.
This Jeff guy is so enigmatic, in every way.
(ps.... none of them pisses their money away either).

Not that it really matters. Kate and her people have spun their story about her dating a "Millionaire", and it's all about smoke and mirrors.
This guy lives nowhere near PA, and unless he's planning on marrying her and moving his life there, I don't think this, whatever it is, is going to amount to much.
I don't care if Kate flits around with whomever. Frankly, even though the photos were blurry, Kate looked like a cold fish.

The 40-Year Old Virgin story is stale, and it's time to shake things up for Katie.

I never had permission to buy some specialty item or other splurge. We drank Tropicana orange juice and ate Foster farms chicken because it was on sale that week.

Maybe TFW is finally going to write that fitness book that Sheeple are clamoring for. She needs him as a partner/co-writer because she can't afford to self publish another book after the cook book fiasco. No reputable publisher will touch her because she's got nothing to offer other than she starves herself to stay slim. Can you imagine the uproar if she writes something and tries to claim that she got her new body/face through diet and exercise. I say go for it and let the real fitness instructors and nutritionists have at her.

You know, despite myself I'm developing the same concerns. She's a big girl but it doesn't mean that if I see huge red flags in a relationship I'm not concerned for the woman no matter who she is. I'm also concerned for the kids. Kate may be sitting on a lot of money that would be better saved up for her and her children's future. I'm concerned this guy may have her funneling her money into some dumb project with him that could very well go nowhere. I've had concerns about narcissist's questionable relationships too (they also gravitate toward taking up with millionaires with ulterior motives) and that is because even though they are a damaging person we still have a friendship, I still love them and their kids and will always want what's best for them. That's called being a grown up.

The sad part about it is I haven't seen a single fan express any concern or worry about this odd situation. Why are we always the ones showing any genuine concern for this woman? The "haters"?

Tomatoes, your post brought back a great memory for me. It was my ds's Sr. year in football and he had a great game, scored and did some major blocking and plays. We won. After the game, I went to the HH diner to get something to eat. It was fairly crowded, with hometown people. Just a little later, he walked in, people recognized him and the place went wild, clapping, hollering his last name, whistling.

It was so incredible, I was so proud of him that night! Even though we had a bunch of lemons thrown at us at the time, we just grabbed some and made some lemonade and boy does that cold lemonade taste good!

He calls himself CEO for all these various organizations that have no income as far as I can tell. And this woman, Noelle, has always been his partner and has a job with Dreamstime. We have no proof, other than what this guy tells the press or has on his LinkedIn that he was a co-founder of Dreamstime. When he says co-founder, he is like Kate, that is, skirting the truth. I think, and I have no proof, he founded the U.S. office but the company already existed in Romania. How he hooked up with the two founders in Romania is a mystery to me. I think he was hired as U.S. COO to manage the office in TN and Jeff hired his crony, Noelle. Jeff appears to be the Romanian guys' spokesperson and the one who is working with U.S. companies. Oh and this tidbit. In an interview Jeff said Microsoft was interested in buying Dreamstime, but had to recant when Microsoft said untrue. I'll have to find that but it was weeks ago I ran across that information. There is something stinky about this guy and all those LLC's that make no money, all those titles, and the tabloids not really researching this guy. Those idiots, well except for Radar digging up the divorce info, just repeat what's on his LinkedIn.

He seems to be in Kate's League of inflating. They deserve each other. And I agree, it's either a book collaboration or a fake charity startup. Maybe even bankrolling her own production company? Remember, we suspect she has an LLC already with Steve.

To answer what birth order Josh is, he is first born. Michelle & JimBob were married 4 years before Josh was born. Michelle lost a baby, after Josh was born, then she had twins, who are 3 years younger than Josh.

As, I posted earlier, what I read is that Josh was messing with his younger sisters, for a couple of years. I had not read that JimBob, took the kid to the police. The family just dealt with it as confusion & forgiveness to God and his sisters, and that it would not happen again or anymore. And that was the end of it.

Those life resumes are funny. Reminds me of someone who has property out in the country, rusted out old cars, sheds, barns, junk laying around, the more the merrier. He has a lot of stuff, but really worth almost nothing.

Maybe Jeff Millionaire is using TFW to get her money, because maybe it is finally time that the rooster has finally come home to roost, as in reaping what you have sown. TFW has grifted, ripped off, stolen as much feces as she possibly was able to at this point. When JM drains her dry, then the money will be gone.

TFM will then go back to Oz, run to Dorothy (Gina) and tell her the Wicked Witch's TLC paycheck is dead!

Nature's Youth's 'NY' Not Deceptive, But TTAB Still Refuses
By Bill Donahue

Law360, New York (March 20, 2014, 2:33 PM ET) -- The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board last week overturned an examiner's decision that Nature's Youth Inc.'s trademark for “NY” would imply a connection to New York but nonetheless rejected the registration over the company's refusal to answer questions about the geography issue.

Substantively, the board the rejected the examiner's decision that the “NY” mark for cosmetics and other beauty products would be “geographically deceptively misdescriptive.” Though the initials indicated New York, the board said consumers simply didn't consider the Empire State a sufficiently known source of...

The reviews for Noelle's book are interesting. One is obviously a shill account that was set up less than a week after the book was published and has had no activity since. The other is six months later from a family friend.

She has a second book too, and in that one's bio she touts her business experience and lists herself as CFO of the following companies: Gill Media, Music City News Publishing, Dreamstime.com, Nature's Youth, Inc., Octagon Sports Nutrition, LLC, and Fortunato Partners, Inc.

Coincidently (or not) Music City News Publishing, for whom she lists herself as CFO in her second book, was the publisher of her first book. Guess who is the CEO of MCNP? Jeff Prescott. Prescott is also involved in Dreamstime, Nature's Youth, and Octagon Sports.

That is a convoluted mess of companies.

Is this woman a CFO or a guru? You should read her tweets and Facebook page.

Do you mean "THE" Gordon Liddy?? I thought he was into the private security business (after prison that is). He must be into his 80's by now. Maybe he is going to be TFW's personal bodyguard. LOL!!

Fox News (on line) is reporting "Tennessee family accused of spending $187M raised for cancer charities on themselves".

This scam has no relation to the topic being discussed here but just thought I'd mention that these things can happen to vulnerable donors.

Well, I guess liars flock together.

Jeff Prescott was quoted in a Nashville Business Journal article that Bill Gates was interested in the company and Prescott turned down a buyout offer from Microsoft because he thought it was too low. He refused to say how much Microsoft offered, but he valued the company at $25 - $30 million. However, a correction to the article says Prescott "misspoke" and there was no Microsoft buyout offer. At what point do you think it is a good idea to say the richest man in America is interested in your company and think nobody is going to follow up on your lie?

Interestingly, the Dreamstime Wikipedia entry says "In 2005 the company turned down a buyout offer from Microsoft" and references the article with the retraction. The entry is obviously written by someone affiliated with the company and is even flagged by Wikipedia as written like an advertisement. Whoever wrote that entry deliberately included that lie.

Dishonesty is looking very common in dealings involving Jeff Prescott. Looks like Kate has found a perfect match.

Things don’t seem to be getting any better at home with Kate.

“She took off for four days last week,” the insider reveals to In Touch. “She left the kids with the nanny. Kate is supposed to give Jon first right of refusal to take care of the kids when she goes away and she didn’t."

To make matters worse, “The kids told Jon that they didn’t know where she went and had no way to reach her because she doesn’t give them her cell number,” the insider explains.

“Kate thinks if she gives it to them, someone else will get a hold of it, and she doesn’t want random people calling.”

Dear God, please, I don't even want to believe this.
If this is true, Kate needs to have her mental health evaluated, or re-evaluated.
What nanny would NOT report such abuse?

TLC stinks said...

Correct, MikeB. And I think Gill is the attorney they used to set up these companies? They use these companies to set themselves up as execs. The more we see, the more we understand Kate's attraction to this fake world. To me, the only money this Jeff Millionaire has coming in is from Dreamstime. Maybe his ex got tired of his shit.

Jon Kate Gosselin Hannah custody

Jon and Kate Gosselin
Set Court Date For
Custody Hearing Over
11-Year-Old Daughter
Hannah

May 20, 2015 10:43AM | by In Touch Weekly

In Touch has exclusively learned that Jon and Kate Gosselin are headed to court in June for custody of 11-year-old daughter Hannah.

“It’s possible the court will make a decision before the June hearing,” says an insider close to the case, “But if not, then everything will be decided then.”

As In Touch first reported Jon is seeking full custody of Hannah after she confessed that she was afraid of her mother and didn’t want to go home to her during a visit with her father in late April.

Things don’t seem to be getting any better at home with Kate.

“She took off for four days last week,” the insider reveals to In Touch. “She left the kids with the nanny. Kate is supposed to give Jon first right of refusal to take care of the kids when she goes away and she didn’t."

“Kate thinks if she gives it to them, someone else will get a hold of it, and she doesn’t want random people calling.”

Jon’s determined to win the case. “His priority is what is best for the kids,” his attorney, Kristen Doleva-Lecher tells In Touch. “[He will] fight for them.”


Cute picture of Hannah in the basement, sitting on one of the treadmills. This had to have been when she went to the Kentucky Derby. How horrible to not give them the phone number to contact her. No wonder they were scared. I hope the judge really lets her have it for not complying with the court order of Jon having first right of refusal. She has done it so many times, please God don't let her get by with it this time.

As, I posted earlier, what I read is that Josh was messing with his younger sisters, for a couple of years. I had not read that JimBob, took the kid to the police. The family just dealt with it as confusion & forgiveness to God and his sisters, and that it would not happen again or anymore. And that was the end of it.

Kate, 40, finally went public with the new man in her life whose pocketbook is loaded. When we say loaded, he’s a millionaire who just purchased a New York City apartment for just the two of them to secretly sneak away to whenever they want.

Looks like Jon is branching out more with his DJ gigs. He's currently providing the entertainment for the Digital Summit in Atlanta, GA.

Here's a look at some pictures and comments that people have made about him. He's getting quite a few compliments.

everything rings true except for the kids not having her cell phone number. Jon's also said they have a 'texting' relationship regaring the kiddos, so there's another example of why the cell phone thing can't be true.

Surely the judge or a court appointed advocate will interview H (if it already hasn't been done) to determine whats in the best interest of this child.

What in the heck is H afraid of. What's Kate done to her, her favorite child, the girly girl?

smh

Damn if this is true that sucks really bad for the kids.

And I guess this bitch doesn't wait by the phone like she says she does/did.

She's a horrible person and mother.

F**k are they hiding from? And who gives a F88k if they are in NYC?

Millicent said...

I wish Jon good luck with his custody hearing in June. I also hope that the Court will find Kate in contempt of court for not following the court's order that she allow Jon right of first refusal. This is unfortunately a common problem in custody cases. Just like Kate, many parents out of spite will not honor the "right of first refusal." But to leave and not give the children a way to contact her? Did she at least give the nanny a contact number or an idea of where she was going? Also, why wouldn't her normal cell phone number work? Did she turn it off?

So many questions, and no answers!

Anon/Leslie, the Jenner girls have really acted terribly in social media, especially, Kylie and they have bad reputations for that. So when they go out to public events they are going to get booed. If you are a class act and act like somebody even in tragic circumstances in your life that are out of your control, you will receive respect. If they would straighten up, maybe the booing would eventually stop.

The part about the judge "possibly ruling" before a hearing is held sure didn't ring true to me.

Sure they could. In family law the judge can change custody before the final hearing if he or she wants to. The judge always has that power, and it happens all the time. Emergency custody orders are often made before all the evidence is taken. That's because family court is about doing what's best for the child. It's hard to explain to a crying parent how a judge could do that without hearing their evidence, but it's the law.
