Watch Jon Gosselin Larry King Interview - Why Jon Shut Down Kate Plus 8!

It’s been less than a week since Jon Gosselin got fired from the hit reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" but he’s already publicly slamming the network that made him famous – and has halted production of the new show “Kate Plus 8.”

Jon Gosselin That’s right, all of a sudden (after making a million dollars in less than a year), Jon wants the filming of his kids to stop immediately and is taking action against TLC. The father-of-eight has even placed a sign on the gate of his children’s Pennsylvania home that warns TLC film crew to keep off the property or face penalty of trespass.

And, as most of you probably already know, Jon made spelling errors on his very public sign (as if asking someone to proof read it before posting would have been too much to ask). Some say he even misspelled his own name by adding a second h, making it Johnathan instead of Jonathon.

In an interview with Larry King on Thursday Johnathan defended his actions by saying, "It's not healthy for my kids to be on the show. It's detrimental to them. It's my right as a parent and as a father of my kids to determine whether the show is good for my family,” he continues in an attempt to convince us that his change of heart wasn't due to him being canned by TLC but by an epiphany he had one day while looking at his "pretty face" in the mirror. “I don't think it's healthy for them because we're going through a divorce right now."

Right, Jon. You might just be dumb enough to believe what you’re saying is true but we’re not. This story has BS written all over it.

Do you think Jon has his children’s best interests at heart?

Watch the Jon Gosselin Larry King Interview below and let us know what you think:

He is only doing this to prevent Kate from supporting the children or to get TLC to buy him out instead of firing him. A good portion of the conversation coming from his lawyer last night was his contention that TLC made a $189 million profit last quarter and he thinks it was because of the J&K+8 show and poor Jon was not compensated well enough in comparison to that profit. Vengeful and spiteful. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the welfare of his kids. If he was concerned about their wellbeing, he would not have been flaunting his affairs while actively courting the media to cover them.

WOW. You people aren't just drinking the kool-aid, you've got an IV hook up!

It's so sad how the "sheeple" just watch the tv hype and take it to heart. How is it that Jon is the bad guy in all of this??? Consider the following: 1) Kate kicked him out of the house in October - banned to the garage way before he ever had any girlfriends and just 2 months after she renewed her vows "to try and treat Jon better." 2) after tons of free plastic surgery (boobs, lipo, tummy tuck, etc) and personal training, tanning and teeth bleaching sessions, kate's already HUGE ego decided SHE loved being in the limelight and told Jon SHE was pursuing HER career and didn't want to be married anymore (the adorable 8 are just her little vehicles for FAME...btw, unfortunately, just being a " mom" does not make you a nice person). 4) Kate has been a little monster for years, banning and exiling family members, friends and helpers, and nannies by the dozens, throwing tantrums when given generous gifts if they weren't the right brand or color (consider a multi-passenger van that was "the wrong color") and taking gifts and donations from church and others when their earnings from TLC was in the seven figure range. Now TLC has fed and nourished the Kate monster into a huge narcissistic, mean spirited, two-faced, greedy, self-serving manipulator - she's perfect celebrity material - but hardly has the "best interest" of her children in this. 5) IF you've already made MILLIONS exploiting your children 24/7 from birth - isn't it REALLY in their best interest to let them experience a normal life without cameras filming them when they're sick, going to the bathroom, etc.. and oh yeah, without the papparazi swarming them? 6) Yeah, after months of being cast out by Kate, Jon had a few flings - but after 4 seasons of being verbally bashed on television by his wife (who was NEVER EVER wrong in anything she did or said), who can blame the guy? AND, we're supposed to believe that foxy (married to someone else) bodyguard and Kate are traveling all over the country together shoulder to shoulder and it's all business??? COME ON PEOPLE -- yank out those I.V.'s -- the Kool-aid that TLC's giving you is dulling your senses.

Finally!  Atleast one of the parents are looking out for the kids.  They deserve to grow up as normal kids.  Jon finally sees this and is taking steps to give his kids privacy.

Good for you Jon!

IMO Jon is being used by this new lawyer he hired.  First, this lawyer, Mark Hellerman is getting his name in the news, the tabloids, and national TV and Jon is paying for it.  Second, Jon could very well be sued by TLC for a small fortune. I get the feeling Hellerman would like this.  Hellerman's  name would be in the news again and he would bill Jon for many hours of legal representation.  Finally, the majority of the public feel Jon is full of BS and a douche.

Every time Jon opens his mouth it just gets worse.  America used to have sympathy for JG.  Now he's a tool, a dead beat dad, thinking only of himself, and a douche. In general, the public now have sympathy for Kate because she had to deal with a very immature husband.

I think Jon has blown all of his part of the money.He knows Kate is making money that he won't have access to from her talk show.He probably thinks if he delays the divorce that he will get part of her money because it was money made before the divorce.  Did he say anything about how he was going to provide for those kids .No, he doesn't have a job. He can't provide for them, all he wants to do is  ride kate's coat tail and spend the money on trashy girls that only want him for the money and tv.If he had not been the 9th child in that marriage ,she wouldn't have been so hard on him. He deserves to be pushed out . he started all of the problems with his ego and trashy girls.Every one is not fooled by your antics. Those kids would be better off with out you.
