In a recent interview on ABC’s “Primetime: Family Secrets” Jon Gosselin said that he “despised” his soon to be ex-wife Kate Gosselin. I don’t think he  should be going on national television and telling all of America that he despises the mother of his kids. In this day and age I wouldn’t be surprised if his 9-year old twins are already googling mommy and daddy. I understand his anger with Kate but taking out all of his frustrations infront of the camera isn’t going to help his public image! Maybe try waiting to get a girlfriend until after you’re actually divorced then you wouldn’t have these problems!

He also accuses Kate of verbally abusing him and beating him down during their marriage. Which is not really a surprise for those of us who actually watch the show. Lord knows she was awful to him during most of those shows. So for that part I would have to agree with him that yes Kate completely demoralized him, but he also let her do it, so it’s both of their faults. After all every story does have two sides and marriage is always 50/50.

As if that wasn’t enough he also went on to say that he loves his current girlfriend, 23-year old Hailey Glassman, more than he ever loved Kate. Oh snap! Now that’s just plain cruel. How he’s going to explain that one to the kids later on down the road is beyond me. I mean he did marry Kate, he did love Kate and he did have 8 kids with Kate, regardless of how much he dislikes her at the current time he is stuck with her for the rest of his life. That’s the payoff when you have kids with someone. So my advice to Jon would be to just accept it and move on because it won’t be worth all the fighting and finger pointing in the end. You have to come together for the kids, because they’re the ones who suffer the most!

Eventually the kids will get old enough to figure out what’s going on and they’re going to end up resenting both of their parents if they keep this up. I guess in the Jon & Kate world money does make the world go round which is why they continue to do the show (isn’t it always about the money?). I understand it must cost a ton to raise 8 kids and put them through college, but putting them in the public eye while going through a divorce is NOT a good idea!

I am and always will be team 8!
