TLC Fires Back At Jon Gosselin, Suspends Show!

After TLC announced that they were dropping Jon Gosselin from Jon & Kate Plus 8 and subsequently renaming the show Kate Plus Eight, Jon had his attorney send a "cease and desist" order to the network, and he demanded that the show's crew leave the property he shares with Kate in Pennsylvania immediately.

Attorney Mark Jay Heller said, "Jon realized his family was like a trainwreck, so he decided to put the brakes on the divorce and on the show…because if he didn't the family would be in a mortal accident…the victims of a trainwreck."

So what did the network have to say in response to Jon's words of wisdom? Not only are they halting production of the show, but they totally ripped him a new one! TLC released the following statement:

"We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic. Despite Jon Gosselin's repeated self destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents."
