Kate Gosselin Speaks Out On The Today Show (VIDEO)

Jon & Kate Gosselin marriage trouble

Kate Gosselin of the TLC reality television show Jon & Kate Plus 8 is traveling the country on a book tour for her latest Eight Little Faces….but, what we really want to hear about is her take on the affair that Jon Gosselin is reported to have been engaged in since February 2009.  See Kate’s new sit down interview with Meredith Vieira on The Today Show from August 10th – link near bottom of this page.

Kate told Meredith Vieira that she is very hesitant to believe what the tabloids are reporting because “we all know they pay people thousands of dollars for information.”  She acknowledges that it has been a tough couple of weeks and they are weathering the storm by staying focused on their children.

We’ve seen photos and video in recent weeks showing Jon enjoying the bar scene with female companions.  The first photo was explained away as fans of the show who wanted their photo taken.  The second photo shows the father of eight making a quick getaway from a bar at 2:00 a.m. with Reading, Pennsylvania third grade school teacher Deanna Hummel.

Then Jon came forward and admitted to making poor choices, but defended his right to have female ‘friends’.   Next we heard from the young school teacher, who said there was nothing going on between the two other than the fact that they enjoy partying with other mutual friends.  THEN….it was Deanna’s brother Jason Hummel’s turn to throw his sister under the bus and declare that Deanna and Jon had been involved in a three month affair.

Jason provided some salacious details and photos of his sister stretched out sunbathing while Jon looks on.  He also shot video showing Gosselin sneaking around the backside of Hummel’s home and heading to his car at 7:30 a.m. on March 13.

Yesterday, both Jon and Kate were busy providing information to all of the top internet websites, denying the worst rumors and acknowledging that their marriage is in a state of chaos right now based upon “Jon’s poor decisions and irresponsible behavior” – which is typical ‘Kate speak’.

When asked if the new season of Jon & Kate Plus 8 would speak to these recent issues, the mother of eight told Vieira, “I think we will address the bigger picture, regarding the very public focus on our family and the stress it has cause in our relationship.”   Kate also said that she doesn’t want to get into any of the details on screen because that lends credibility to the tabloid stories, and that isn’t something she wants to do.

  1. If he did cheat on her–my god, she’s lucky that he didn’t full out leave her, she’s so horribly mean to him. If anyone talked down to me and tried to humiliate me the way that she does him–I would have been gone long ago! I can only imagine how much worse she is when the cameras aren’t rolling!

  2. Pathetic. Kate was most obviously told what to say in this interview. This is not the way she talks — except for the “ummm” that she always drops.

  3. She keeps saying, “the children are the focus”, and she totally forgot about her husband being her focus. She degraded him as a man and as a person all throughout the show and that’s why I stopped watching it a long time ago. Kate, teach your girls how to treat their husbands and maybe they won’t get cheated on themselves.

  4. Leave the woman alone! This family has a lot of guts to share their lives with the whole country on national television. Even though it was their choice to do so, it is unfair to judge so harshly a person you don’t really know personally. The show is edited and the public only sees an edited glimpse. Each couple has their own ways of communicating and dealing with each other’s different personalities. This doesn’t make her a mean person or degrading to her husband.

  5. I fill real sorry for the family. We half to think about what is good for the kids . and I hope the Gosselin’s go after the papper that has done this to them . They are the real american family and we need to leave them alone !!!!! I am truly sorry Kate and Jon and kids , that we leave in a society that tinks it okay to make up stuff about familys to sell a papper. Good luck our prays are with you ..

  6. Good God leave them alone… If you dont like the way Kate treats Jon, or what Jon did or DIDNT DO.. then dont watch.. They both have done alot and still do alot for there Kids and each other… It is THEIR version of how THEIR lives are.. who are we to tell them, advise them or judge them…
    JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE…

  7. This is absolutely ridiculous. I love Jon and Kate Plus Eight. I have loved this show from the very beginning and I still do. I think that it is pretty sorry that the world we live in has money-hungry, greedy, selfish people who think that making up stories and rumors, basically gossiping, about other people and what goes on in their life, just to make themselves feel accomplished and to make some money. My goodness, this is crazy. Leave them alone. Its obvious that this family is blessed and they are so loving and they have worked hard to get to where they are in their lives. Then, you have no-good people who are jealous and are probably not to happy with their own lives so they feel the need to try and screw someone elses life up. I say to those kind of people get a life and leave them alone. Noone is perfect, life is not perfect, and sometimes things in life don’t go the way you plan. You get up and move on. Its none of our business what goes on with Jon and Kate. You have to remember, what you see on tv is mostly edited, or bits and pieces of the show. None of us know them personally so we have no room to judge them or critisize what they do. I say ROCK ON Jon and Kate!! Go on with your life and I will keep all of ya’ll in my prayers : )

  8. I wish people would just mind their own business! Every couple has problems no marriage is perfect. I don’t think he cheated on her at all. they are a great christian couple trying to raise a family and stressed over being in the public spotlight and expected to be “The perfect tv family”. Give them a break!

  9. Well, Im doing the math here and Jon works Kate stays at home…17% per child for child support…he’s 136% in the hole

  10. I also love Jon and Kate Plus 8! I wish people would stop bashing Kate. I think she is a terrific mother and like Jen mentioned every couple has their own way of communicating…it may not be the best way but its still communicating. I am sure Jon has his moments too. If that were me I wouldn’t be the most pleasant woman either with the overwhelming demands of raising 8 children. Its stressful enough raising one kid!

  11. WE’ love the show and think that Gosselins are wonderful.And I think that Jon love’s his family and the life they have who are we to say they to about what they.Do there kids’ look happy there each others’ best friends’ you are in my prayers and LOVE THAT YOUR ALL REALL SO JUST TO SAY WE ARE BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANT’ WAIT TO SEE THE SHOW YOUR FANS’ THE TOMLIN’S

  12. I think kate is the most demanding, controlling b*^!cy person ever. She barely shows any affection to any of the kids she claims to love,she should be a drill Sargent! Why would anyone want to raise there kids in front of a camera; thats not reality. i think its all about money and greed. I’ve only watched a few minutes of Table for Twelve but they are more of a loving family, a down to earth family, they appear to be more “real” than Jon&kate. the Gosselins especially Kate don’t hold a candle to the Hayes’

  13. Time for Jon to go back to work and Kate to return to her nursing. Time for the children to go to day care, like all the other struggling families out there. Time to sell the mansion and live accordingly. Time to write private journals to her children, not selling them to a population of people that need their income for more important things. Time for Jon and Kate to retreat to privacy and raise their children out of the limelight. Time to stop wanting everything. Time to put their children first.

  14. I think that people should mind their own damn business! They probably arent having any affairs, ive been in a car with someone at 230 am and passed out at their house before and wasnt doing anything. Like they dont have enough going on without the public constantly bashing on them! back off, jesus..these are peoples real lives not that u care! i have 4 children and i love them very much but life is stressful, i cant imagine having 8..

  15. While I don’t totally trust the fact that Jon has not cheated on Kate even though the evidence is mounting against him. I will continue to be a loyal fan of the show. I feel sorry for them because they never expected that their show would catapolt them into the media like it did. I think that everyone should back off and let them work it out in private.

  16. See the interview given by kate s own brother… she s jus fake….

  17. she thinks she s become a big celebrity… for wht??? for the way she takes care of her kids…her own family says she doens nt take the time to cook and take care of the kids….she is pathetic and over controlling….

  18. Before the children ever came along, both Jon and Kate made vows before God and family. A legally binding contract. We all know that marriages have their ups and downs. Now that 8 children are a part of the picture, they should not only think of themselves but of their FAMILY, and do whatever necessary to keep it a family. People seem to run at the first bit of trouble these days. Show some backbone and work it out. The marriage will be stronger and they will be more confident in themselves and each other.

  19. Time for them to pull the plug and if their family is top priority like they say, then that’s what they will do. It was a good run while it lasted. Time to work on the marriage and raise their kids in the privacy of their own home like everyone else. I wish them luck especially their kids!

  20. Oh, and for those that are mad at everyone for being harsh on them, don’t get soo worked up. Like Kate said, they knew what they were getting into, I know it’s mean and I know it still hurts but that’s how it goes. Us little people gossip/ talk about people that are in our life everyday, sometimes good, bad or down right nasty, it’s called being human. To put yourself on television especially my kids for the world to view is down right crazy to me. The most important thing to remember in life is that the dude abides.

  21. OH MY GOD………People that stick up for Kate probable act like her, snobby, abnoxious, annoying and completly crazy. Kate is out of Control, and I am glad that Jon did what he did. We all know that he cheated and he more than likely w/ that women still, but Good I am glad.
    Kate was so mean to him, and just went off the deep end to much. I used to love the show, but anymore its a pitty show, for this women to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Look at her, not only has her personaltiy changed but my god her whole look has changed. She went from looking like a real mother to looking like the lady from mommy dearest, she is all about fashion now, and how she looks, and the way she talks and it just crazy. I did honestly like the old Kate. The one that cooked for her family, cleaned and watched the children, now what she has people that do it for her. Come on people LOOK she is a crazy ass women that does not deserve all the glam, did you hear that she is keeping money from Jon Now! Yeah he had to clean out his 401K.
    Yeah lets stick up for Kate. Grow up America…….

  22. kates amazing. you people talking bad about her are clearly just like jon and dont know what your saying. take your heads out of your asses.
