Before leaving for Vegas to host a pool party over the weekend, Jon Gosselin sat down for his first TV interview with ‘Good Morning America.’ The interview will be aired this week, but some of what he said is already leaking out (naturally), so Jon is already backtracking. E! News got the scoop on the interview.
A source on set during the taping tells E! that Gosselin was "very
open and honest" about his feelings toward Kate and even delved into
his thoughts on the future of Jon & Kate Plus Eight."TLC has had him on a gag order and he’s sick of it," says the
source. "Jon basically comes right out and says he’s worried the show
is ‘exploiting’ his eight children.""Jon says he doesn’t see himself as a celebrity, but because the public
does, it will make it hard for him to go back to a normal life and a
normal job," spills the source. "He wants to stay in the TV industry
and has a lot of ideas."
Initially, Jon’s rep had no comment, but once E! ran the story, Jon sent them a statement to clarify some of the quotes E! has.
"I’m not saying TLC is exploiting my children. But I do believe the media
and tabloids covering my family and the show for their own financial
gain are the ones exploiting them. I have said on numerous occasions
TLC has afforded my kids a better life and has helped provide a better
roof on their heads."
I’d say things are not going well if you’re having to clarify (not necessarily deny) statements before the interview has even aired. Oy vey.

so is he… even more so is Kate
yeah…no. Douche.
GO AWAY!!
They all are exploiting those children, but Jon and Kate are the worst offenders.
Could this idiot just shut up now?losethatgirl blog
Those are some classy ladies hanging out with Jon at his children’s house when he is supposed to be spending time with the kids. He is a serious loser.
I wonder if they think they can’t exploit their kids, because they love them. You can’t exploit someone or something you love, right? RIGHT?
…counting the steps to the door of my heart…
That man is a disaster. I’ve been a fan of the show for years, and I would love for the future episodes to have less and less of Jon in them.
OMG!!! STHU JON!!! And what’s up with his PR Firm. Why don’t they see that he needs to STHU??? BTW – Jon, NO ONE sees you as a celebrity. We do NOT want to see you on TV anymore! We are begging you to go away. Go count beans somewhere. You are an embarrassment to your children.
And this coming from such a responsible and thoughtful father and adult…. oh boy!
I think you can when your love for fame and money suddenly trumps your love for your children. I have neither fame, serious money, or children, so I am just assuming.
No Jon, you and Kate exploited your kids a long time ago
I completely concur.
Ah – I get it… It’s only exploitation if it’s done by the media companies you *DIDN’T* sell your children to! Thanks for clarifying that, JG.
Douchebag!!!!
So I guess it was TLC who sent him off to party with the Ed Hardy guy in France, to Las Vegas MGM Grand’s “wet republic”, and to hang with Michael Lohan. Oh wait….that was him…he’s exploiting himsself and then complaining about ending up in tabloids along with his children. Guess what Jon, don’t bite the hand that feeds you ***annie***
He’s a loser. They BOTH agreed to do this show. Hasn’t it been on for several years already? and NOW he thinks it’s too much? He’s hosting freakin’ pool parties like some celebrity, wth? These people need to go away. Down with reality TV! LOL
Exactly. They both agreed to do the show, he decided to be an idiot while getting it caught on film, but now says the media is the big bad? Own up to your own mistakes already, Jonny boy.
…counting the steps to the door of my heart…
He certainly isn’t a nobody because he’s famous for whatever so he couldn’t work a normal job from 9-5, that would be humiliating I think.
Pot, meet Kettle. Jon & Kate have amassed a small fortune because they have been exploiting their kids from the start. This guy should shut his chubby pie-hole.
“chubbie pie-hole” Awesome. Couldn’t have said it any better. LOL
the media exploit his kids because he exposed them to it in the first place. what a twat
at first he hated the media but now it seems like he loves it. he sure is enjoying his money.
Enough of this guy please. I’m going to do what i normally do with all of these worthless famewhores. I’m going to skip the post and move on to something more interesting and news worthy. Vera i know is your website honey, but why you insist on posting this looser on your blog?? I think we already know what kind of douche this piece of crap is.
enough with him already
