After a period of civility, former reality star Kate Gosselin has put the gloves back on and will be dragging her ex-husband into a Philidelphia federal courtroom to face charges of hacking her computer and phone records, wiretapping and invasion of privacy.

Jon Gosselin, a former IT guy, reportedly stole a hard drive from Kate’s residence and used other illegal means to supply information to a tabloid reporter who was writing a tell-all.

Robert Hoffman launched ‘Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World’ with Amazon and several other distributors last year but the project was quickly shut down after Kate’s legal team got a court injunction claiming the controversial details within the book was obtained illegally.

Not long ago Jon’s ex-wife uncovered enough damning evidence to pin the hacking rap on him — and so she has.

Kate Gosselin is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, along with court fees and actual damages. This is almost laughable since her ex recently described his living situation as a small cabin in a farm community and noted that their parental relationship is “transportation and logistics.”

Two weeks ago PEOPLE wrote a fluff piece titled ‘Kate Gosselin: Her Life After Reality TV.’ In the article she acknowledged that the family is living very carefully these days and added, “I feel like I’ve lived two lifetimes already.”
