Today I heard the most right thing yet on a show that was talking about how this divorce will effect the kids. The therapist said kids do better when parents are honest. He thinks Jon and Kate have been having problems for some time and have gone on like nothing was wrong. Kids know when things are wrong. THey then jusy happened to annouce marriage problems three weeks before the season opener. How odd. I think the show will be off soon, who doesn't know people going through divorce and who feels like they can get any tips on anything from these two.
It's been said that the show (and TLC) has lied about their life for awhile, that Jon and Kate had actually been living separately for about 2 years.
This means the recent renewing of the wedding vows before the divorce was all staged and fake and the divorce announcement from them is being made to look more like a surprise than it is.
If they have been living apart for around 2 years, I would bet Kate knew of his cheating. Who knows? She might have cheated as well. In fact they might have had an arrangement with that...which also included both of them coming back to the house together to play like husband and wife while the cameras were rolling until they just couldn't bare it anymore and Jon called it quits.
TLC and Jon and Kate really need to just cancel that show on principle. It's a hot mess. It's wrong to continue it. These kids are involved and it is just very unethical at this point. They need to take time away from the cameras...the show... and get themselves stabilized however they will do it now as divorced parents and heal. Let the children get some grounding and let the paparazzi fade out over time.
According to that link, looks like Jon is losing interest in continuing the show and wants to start a new slate in New York City. However, let's hope he doesn't become too much of a bachelor to where he forgets about his parental responsibilities living away from the children.
My wife and I have 6 kids.
My wife has 11 siblings.
None of us was ever on TV.
No one ever cared about our lives except for family and friends.
We all made it without getting $75,000.00 per episode for a TV show.
Some people know how to milk the system but still end up in a failed marrige.
John and Kate paid OCC to build them a customized motorcycle and scooter. (maybe paid for by the sponsers)
The wife and I are still together. (Almost 30 years)
Her parents are still together. (Over 50 years).
I couldn't care less about John and Kate. They exposed their kids to national media and public exposure.
I feel sorry for the kids.
It's a damn shame parents are more interested in making money from their kids than just raising them in a normal and loving enviorment.
The only time I ever watched anything about John and Kate was when OCC made the bikes for them. I watch OCC because I am interested in the bikes they build. (American Chopper)
I was watching ET last night, Jon's going to be "dishing" about how Kate had bad depression or something after the birth.. which would really be surprising to me.. Geez, hormones from carrying 6 babies? Really?
If Jon does this, my opinion of him is going to get lower.
I wish they would hire a real PR firm already & both of them stop talking.
Don't get me started on the Kevin & Jodi interviews.

I agree, I watch OCC with the hubs and saw that one. I never saw SR with not much to say but he was really thinking that Jon should man up. LOL, now come on weren't you really hoping she would wipe out on that stupid scooter!

I agree. I'm sure he hates her because of the way she treated him.....but he's gonna really look bad if he bashes her - especially if he does so because she was post-partum depressed. He just needs to shut up and take the high road, but it seems like that will be impossible for him to do.

This has been explained- it's just a legal option to speed up the proceedings. If the filing spouse checks a box saying they have had a form of separation for 2 years then they waive an additional waiting period. It's like when Zellweger checked the "fraud" box. Don't take it literally.
I agree, though. Can the show, people!
