kateresponds.jpg Just days after TLC announced that they were dropping Jon Gosselin from Jon & Kate Plus 8, Jon and his attorney demanded that the show's crew stop filming his children immediately, and he got into a war of words with TLC.

After calling his family a "trainwreck" and suggesting that the network was to blame, TLC fired back and said that they were aware of Jon's remarks, and "deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior."

Naturally, Kate has taken the time to come up with her own opinion on the matter, and in a statement released today, the reality TV mom says:

    "I'm saddened and confused by Jon's public media statements. Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits our children and was taping on Friday with the kids. I check in regularly with each of the kids to be sure they want to participate in and continue with the show and will continue to do so. I do the show for my family because I believe it provides us opportunities we wouldn't otherwise have. Jon used to share that belief until as recently as the day the network announced the name change of the show and indicated that Jon would have a lesser role in the show. It appears that Jon's priority is Jon and his interests. My priority remains our children and their well-being."


We're surprised Kate kept it so...well, polite! It should be very interesting to see what papa Jon has to say next!
