The divorce battle between Jon and Kate Gosselin has been going full-force for the past several months but it took an ugly, ugly turn this weekend.
As most media outlets have reported, Jon took $200,000 from his and Kate’s joint bank account (leaving her only $1,000) and Kate sat down with Meredith Viera this morning on the Today Show to confirm the reports and provide insight on the horrific situation.
Kate reveals that Jon did indeed take the money from the account, leaving her with insufficient money “to put a roof over her children’s heads.”
The 11-minute interview can be watched on PEOPLE.com and offers a lot of insight on the situation.
While Jon and Kate bicker over financial issues, Kate Plus 8 has been halted from production because Jon (after being fired from the show Jon and Kate Plus 8) said his kids are being exploited and now refuses to allow camera crews into their home.
Neither Jon nor his attorney have been reached for comment since news that the money was taken hit mainstream media.
While, generally, we are on Team Kate, we don’t think that speaking out on this subject on The Today Show today was a smart decision. They both claim that they have their children’s best interest at heart but they both publicly bash one another every chance they get.
Was it really necessary to go on TV and discuss how irresponsible Jon is being? Probably not.
What do you think of the train-wreck situation and do you think Kate Plus 8 should push forward and keep airing new episodes?
