Jon Gosselin Rips Into Kate, Claims She "Abused" Him
(09/07/09 9:20 AM)
LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Jon Gosselin sat down with ABC News' Chris Cuomo for Good Morning America, and in a clip from the second part of his interview, the reality TV dad delivers a verbal smackdown to his estranged wife, claiming she was abusive and that she refused to participate in counseling!
"I don't trust her anymore. I was abused, I was beaten down...I'm not going back to that life style," Jon says of his ten-year marriage to Kate. Jon continued, "She knows the truth. I wish to God, she would speak from emotions...She's not speaking from the heart. Please...the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV."
On asserting his independence from her controlling ways, Jon says, "In 10 years, I've never gone out. When she said, 'I don't want you going out,' I used to say, 'OK, I'm not going to go out.' I was very passive. This is the first time I said, 'You know what? I want to see my friends. I'm going out.' That was the first time in my life I ever stood up to Kate. I just felt like I had to take back some time in my life, and I did it. And I felt really good. I made my own decision. I was beaten down for so long, I couldn't even make my own decision. And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what's she gonna do? Divorce me? All right."
On seeing a therapist, Jon says, "I learned about myself. If she's not going to therapy, she's not going to fix herself, then it's not going to work. It takes two people. I have a $22,000 therapy bill. I mean, I tried to have marriage counseling. I did it myself. She refused to go."
So what does Jon want viewers to know? "I just want to let the world know that I'm a real person with feelings," he says. "OK, I've made mistakes. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to go out to the clubs. But we all learn from mistakes, except mine are public."
what an irresponsible asshat! boohoo cry me a river. with eight kids he should be acting like a dad---not a sibling
IF HE WANTED TO PARTY AND HAVE AFFAIRS HE SHOULD OF KEEP IN HIS PANTS AND NOT HAVE 8 KIDS AND THEN FIGURED THAT KATE WAS CONTROLLING. SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T THINK A HEAD, NO PUN INTENDED. LOL
Oh poor Jon....GROW UP! You are a dad of 8 and you're dating a 'barely' adult woman! You should have worked on your marriage and your issues before kids or at least after the Be an example to your children...chances are they won't have a tv show to support them!
Get a 9 to 5 job and show your kids you are focused. This will set an example for them too.
Why did it take John 10 years and 8 kids to finally realize how demanding his wife was. Maybe he should of stood up to Kate early on in their relationship. Act like an adult and father of 8 children and not like the 9 th child- grow up and be a respectable father. I feel sorry for those children.You made your bed and chose to be married young, knew who you were marrying, so don't try now to make up for lost time and embarass your children along the way with your new lifestyle. Why would you leave a marriage and want to go looking for another relationship! Concentrate on being a good father!! John you are a sorry case for a man and dad!!!
The sad truth is that the Gosselins continue to have a reality show, exploit thier dirty laundry and want America to take sides! I, for one, can't stand the show and can't stand either of them. I feel sorry for the kids. If they truly had their children's best interest in mind, they'd stop the show, get into family therapy, and move forward away from the spotlight!
I care about their kids. Airing their problems publicly is only doing damage to them. A judge should step in to tell them to stop.
I was watching this show with my husband about a year before they split,and my husband said "She doesn't even like her husband!" It was so true. It had bothered me the way she contuniously disrespected him and bossed him around like he was an idiot. I felt for him. I really did. I was not surprised when the marriage ended. Sad but not unexpected. You can only kick a dog for so long until it runs away.

I agree. She treated him like crap. I don't see how he put up with it as long as he did. I hate it for the kids but you just can't treat people like that (especially in front of other people) and expect them to stay with you or want to be around you.
I agree with those who said that the parents need to grow up and get family therapy. I feel they should stop the show for their children. They won't because of greed and pride. The people who operate the TV station should pull the show, and if people want to watch it, put it online and any monies made should go towards the children's college and future therapy that they will requie!

Kate is a castrating shrew who deserved to lose her husband
Quit the b*tching Jon.. Look at the life and luxury you have now. Not so bad buddy. Get over this bs and take care of your damn kids!
Stop airing the he said she said crap because that is between you and her. STOP FEEDING THE PRESS STUFF THAT YOUR CHILDREN CAN GOOGLE!!! Just shut up the both of you!!! Remember what our Momma's used to say? If you ain't got nothing good to say, say nothing!
After reading some of these comments, it's kinda funny how quick people are to blame Jon. I personally think both of them are to blame in this whole circus. My ex-wife turned into a completely different person after having my son, then took off. She hasn't seen him or spoken to him since he was 1 and a half years old. He's now six. I know it's only one kid and not 8, but it really is possible for a WOMAN to change after having kids.
wow really everyone is blaming jon, when it really looks like that both kate and jon came to realize that this wasnt for them. kate enjoys the spot light, it doesnt really seem like jon does, but he could.
whaaa-whaaa-whaaaaaa sorry Jon your actions have spoken louder than your words...you should have spoken up a lot sooner, like before you got caught? So now you're going to dis the mother of your children on national TV...so manly of you!!!
I've watched the show on and off over the past year or so and I always got the impression that Kate was made at Jon. She really didn't seem happy.
Both of these so called adults need to grow up. I think it is horrific that they have chosen to pimp out their family because they are too lazy to work like real people. I have watched the show off and on, the children are brats and neglected. Everything is about Kate. She is a bitch and Jon is a wimpy baby. Pull the show and give America a break!
If Kate expects people to believe for one minute that this whole scenario wasn't somehow contrived, she would be keeping her mouth shut completely...
I appreciate Jon's position in it all, as the show made clear the issues both had...Kate is a "Control Freak" who should be forced into therapy...Jon has taken that step already and seems to be growing past the trauma he suffered at the hands of Kate...
In reality, if the shoe were on the other foot and it was Jon treating Kate the way she treated him, he'd be labeled an abuser...That door swings both ways, and shows just how badly Kate needs to seek help for the sake of the kids...
His wife was a boozing slut. "Saint John", as the press secretly called him, encouraged him to leave his abusive and psychotic wife. Let us wish Jon the best and pray that Kate gives up her secret life of having sex with random men. There was only one grown-up in that marriage and that was John. I hope child services quickly removes the children from Kate's decadent lifestyle. She is an unfit mother. Our prayers go with you Jon!
Are all you people blind or what!! Everyone used to say that Kate was controlling, Bit#h and so forth. Now that they are getting divorced, its all his fault. Just becuase he is seen out and about does not change the fact that she was impossible to live with. Get real folks. Why is it always the mans fault
I just read that in this interview he also states that he "despises" Kate and accuses her of stealing his wedding ring. Any sympathy I may have had for him has now disappeared. He has put that out there for the world and more importantly HIS CHILDREN to hear. That is more disgusting than anything else I have read. It may be how he feels and he is entitled to his feelings, but he should have kept those feelings to himself. He has just shown me how immature and disgusting he really is. Now I can't stand either one of them.
So who is paying child support? Imagine child support payments for 8 kids? Wonder when that point will be addressed??
Or if it will be paid.
Call Kate what you will but she had to be organized with attention to detail as she kept sane with a passive-aggressive husband and 8 children to raise. Hopefully, like us all at one time or another, the children will remember the fun times at the beach, painting with pudding, seeing wild horses, being a Dude at a Dude ranch, Valentine's Day heart pancakes, etc. Those memories are what I admire about Kate. Forget the He-said-She-said stuff. Get a life, Jon. Child support is more than just "being a dad." BTW: you looked great in a dress!
For Jon to say he was beaten down is such bull, everyone gets to see 5 minutes of a argument the most exciting parts it takes 2 to argue be a man take responsiblity. Kate is not the one living in the fast lane and living off their kids she is the one taking care of the 8 little ones. Be a man stop moaning and groaning you are what is commonly known as a wimp...
Wow, Jon, your not thinking of your kids bad mouthing their mother to the public. Controlling or not, you don't bad mouth the mother of your children on TV. It will only hurt you in the end, your kids will begin to resent you for it, And vice versa Kate. Don't do it.
Typing in all caps makes you look as retarded as the words you speak. You all are lame asses, go fix your own lives... LEAVE JON GOSSELIN ALONE! LOL
