Jon & Hailey Made Up Abuse Claims For Cash!

During a tearful interview on The Insider, Hailey Glassman revealed that she had been emotionally abused by her (now) ex-boyfriend Jon Gosselin, but new reports say that the entire thing was made up by Jon to get the couple the cash they so desperately need right now!

A source told Fox 411, "Jon actually made the decision to have Hailey go on air and bad mouth him. Jon and Hailey get paid for their appearances on these shows and they need the money." The source continues, "It was easy for Hailey to conjure tears, their lives are less than stellar right now, but Jon hasn't abused [her]."

Apparently Jon's so desperate for cash that he's willing to do just about anything right now -- even the Octomom reality show!

"His whole team heard of the project and was involved in brokering the possible deal," the source revealed of the "Jon - Kate = Jon + Octomom" idea (which he previously denied ever being involved with.) The Gosselin insider continued, "His managers, lawyers and publicists need to get something rolling for him or he won't be able to pay them. Jon doesn't have a big bank account loaded with money. He has to do something and this would have been funny, plus Hailey had no problem going along with the fake dates and pretending to be upset. She is along for the ride and enjoys being on TV."

So if Jon and Hailey lied about this, are they lying about breaking up as well?

Can someone say "Balloon Boy"?
