Jon Gosselin, daddy on Jon & Kate Plus 8, has issued a statement after US magazine published a photo of him leaving a bar at 2 a.m. with a mysterious woman. He said:
Like most people, I have male and female friends and I'm not going to end my friendships just because I'm on TV. However, being out...late at night showed poor judgment on my part. What makes me sick is that my careless behavior has put my family in this uncomfortable position. My family is the most important thing in my life and it kills me that these allegations have hurt them.
This wasn't the first time Jon was spotted out with mysterious women so it is understandable that more than 63 percent of you believe the rumors, but we are sad to hear this news just months after Jon and Kate renewed their vows. Last week the Gosselins talked to EW and shed some light on how fame has changed their family life. To see what he said, read more.
The paparazzi thing and public eye, I don't like it at all. I don't mind taking fan pictures and stuff like that, but it's strange to me. I moved back here to be away from that all, we're in the middle of the country, and now they're here taking pictures, whatever. Everywhere.
We hope for the children's sake that this mom and pop are in it for the long haul. Maybe less alcohol and better judgment will help put a stop to this rumor mill.

GIVE FREAKING BREAK ! : The paparazzi thing and public eye, I don't like it at all.
Um, then perhaps a NATIONAL TELEVISION SHOW and BOOK TOURS really aren't the right life for you and your family?
I'm so tired of people who put themselves out there and then whine about the negatives that come with it.
1Their marriage is a joke. She's a shrew and he's a push-over.

3I guess this changes my perception of the situation a little. Why would he feel the need to apologize if he didn't really do anything wrong?
4He was better off not commenting. I went from being a bit skeptical to pretty damn sure something is fishy after reading that statement.
5They renewed their vow and this? Yeah. Nothing is going on there :roll_eyes:
I don't really care though, but he needs to understand once you open your family life to the public, and gain fame and money out of the deal, of course, the negative will always be around.
6Oh gosh, I can't imagine what's going to happen with the children though if their parents can't work it out.
I only watch the show once or twice, I felt overwhelmed watching them.
I'm often overwhelmed with 1 child (yeah, I'm not one of those perfect and super moms with gazillion patience), I can't imagine having 8. Oy vey.
every reality show couple i've ever seen on t.v. always gets divorced. it always seems to split them apart, no good ever comes of it.
7they need to stop the show ASAP
8when this question was asked before, i wasn't convinced they needed to end it, but they do now....they're too much in the public eye for negative stuff now and even if its not true, its TERRIBLE for their children to be reading this about their daddy
I don't think being out late showed poor judgement, everyone is entitled to a night out. Being with another woman at 2 Am was poor judgement Jon.
9Now that I heard this and look at the pictures of their wedding in Hawaii. I could just see her right before the filming, saying I hate you and nasty things to him. Heck she is mean to him in front of the camera. It is probably worse off camera.
10My mom loves this show so I always have to hear about Jon and Kate - wonder what she's thinking about them now?
I personally can't stand them - she's a witch and he's a pushover, like someone else posted. It's not really a shock that he felt the need to escape. I'm not saying he was justified, but I can understand where he's coming from.
11Sugarcat, I almost said the same thing, I can totally understand why he would need an escape.
12But he discovered he can't escape!
Just because he's leaving a club with a woman does not mean he's cheating on Kate. It's a good thing that she drove because he probably had more than one drink and if he would have driven himself everyone would be screaming Jon was diu! Give him a break will you? Sure Jon and Kate do have some serious problems and no it's not good that he's out drinking and yes they should get therapy together. But seriously, stop being so dramatic you all!
13Nobody on this planet deserves to be treated the way Kate treats him... No surprise he's out with other women!
14i belive that people should just stand back and let them live their life because with everyone down on their backs it makes life 1ooo times harder for them
15Not my business. He's not comfortable with the spotlight and wants to stop the show. Kate wants to continue. He shouldn't have to censor his behavior and he doesn't have to answer to us... just to his kids and family. Maybe Kate should take note and pull the family out of the limelight so they don't all have to worry about how tabloid rumors affect their family.
16Jon Said ,,he is still trying to get used to being ( Jon plus 8 ) whats up with that,,the oldest is 9yrs old . Poor excuse and he was lien . Didn't know what to say ,If he doesn't feel like a family by now .He never will. Makes me think, he still feel single to mingle
17Well, as a parent I do watch Jon & Kate Plus 8 and loved Jon & Kate's book about their journey called "Multiple Bles8ings"! I was disappointed with this news, regardless of what really went down, just for the fact that the "possbility" of Jon straying on his family is a reality. As some of you are namecalling Kate- Hey, everyone has there flaws and she is not perfect but I have to say that she is one heck of a woman and mother to do the job that she does. Please read the book before you judge her. I feel for her and her children!I truely wish them all the best and hope that they will be able to work it out. Life is tough, raising children and a large family is tough, every moment is not peachy, there are frustrations with each other, and sometimes life takes it's toll on us........ my advice to Jon & Kate is stick it out for oneanother.....and for your eight beautiful children. Kate, I would say try to not pass along your wonderful sense of bein a tough, structured, disciplined mother on to Jon and your relationship as husband and wife. You are a team... Also, Jon.... don't ever put your wife in the position to feel like there even may be the possbility of anything going on. Shoot, you can have fun....you are both so young still...have some fun together.....good times together like how it used to be before the children came....don't forget who you are;) Love u guys and praying for ya;)
18I imagine that when people have a chance to view their lives from a third person's perspective, they are often surprised and ashamed at how their behavior and relationships appear. Maybe it took Jon seeing how he was being treated from that perspective to realize just how badly he was being treated. He probably felt ashamed which then turned to anger toward his wife for treating him that way. But her words say more about her own self than they do about him. It's as if she thinks he is not good enough for her by always correcting his grammar, etc. I treated an ex like that and he up and walked out on me. In hindsight, I cannot blame him. But I truly did find him stupid and materialistic and I still do. I realize that was my way of getting him to leave because I didn't want to do the leaving. Pretty cowardly on my part, I admit. But then again, I have no experience and no room to talk when you throw eight kids into the mix...so...forget you even read this.
