Although a some might find the idea of more than 100 paparazzi waiting to chase them somewhat disconcerting, Jon Gosselin seems to be taking it all in stride these days, speaking to PopEater from Philadelphia, where he’s currently “chilling out” before visiting the kids tomorrow.
“I’ve got 65 paparazzi waiting for me back in Reading [Pa.].,” he admits. “I just got back from L.A. where I had 125 paparazzi chasing me. So I’m just taking it easy.”
Jon claims the photogs don’t really bug him, as he learned to accept they’re doing their jobs.
“I don’t really care about the paparazzi. I make friends with them, I don’t run from them. They have a job to do and I have a job to do. They call me the paparazzi’s friend because I talk to them and ask them about their lives,” he explains. ” They’re good people, they have families to feed. The thing is, if you run, they’re just going to chase you more. They’ll think you have something to hide, and I have nothing to hide.”
Yesterday Jon visited the family home to celebrate the birthday of twin daughters Cara and Mady, an experience he describes as “fine.”
“It was weird being in the same house as Kate, though,” he confesses. “She stuck around late, and she was supposed to leave but didn’t. I put the six [children] to bed, hugged Mady and Cara and then left because it wasn’t my custody day. I have custody Saturday, so I left, went to dinner and went back to my hotel in Reading and slept.”
Jon adds that the kids are doing okay, even with the attention the divorce is attracting lately.
Are the kids in good spirits for the most part?
“They’re not oblivious to what’s going on, but we’re keeping them sheltered the best we can. It’s getting kind of dirty right now, which I don’t like,” he confesses. “hat’s why I went on TV and said ‘Let’s settle this.’ She [Kate] doesn’t talk to me. She doesn’t want to talk, but I don’t want to embarrass her. I want the best for my family, kids and myself. She makes these claims about me and taking all that money. I have the proof … Bank statements, I have all that. I didn’t take all that money she said I took. It just makes her look bad, really.”
Tell us how you really feel, Jon!
First he says she stayed late even tho she was supposed to leave, then he says he left because it wasn’t his custody day. Contradictory. He talks too much against Kate, and doesn’t seem to take the blame for anything..must be nice to be perfect and never wrong. He has proved to be a skank.
He went to dinner alone(?) AFTER putting the kids to bed. Why didn’t he eat dinner WITH his kids?
Jon if you wouldn’t contact the Paps and let them know your every move they wouldn’t hound the children. YOU are at FAULT. Never had Paps bugging anyone til you started screwing around and got caught. No one to blame but yourself for the mess you made. YA YA I know, therapy, epiphany, better man – could you toss in a shower and shave in there somewhere? You even look like you stink.
not contradictory. he was to have kids from 4-6 according to kates revamped agreement. she never left so he stayed later than 6. their original agreement was to share holidays together but that was difficult. I give him credit, he hasn’t disclosed any of kates actions, and seems to want to work through this. kate says she wants peace, but then goes on the Today Show and calls him a theif leaving her no money to feed the kids. come on. the children are the ones who are suffering through this whole ordeal, and they need to both stop.
He told her he wouldn’t be leaving at 6 so she figured he wasn’t going to go along with the 4-6 idea. She was only planning to leave and come back at 6 if that was what he agreed to do, but he didn’t like her idea. I don’t blame her for sticking around. Why should he get 4 hours of birthday with the kids and she only 2?
According to different media reports this week alone, he has disclosed plenty of Kate’s actions.
Ummm…..As Jon said….Kate doesn’t have the authority to change the visitation and he was going to stay as long as he wanted to. There was no revamped agreement – just a suggestion from Kate with Jon didn’t agree with as evident to all of the media that he cried to. He hasn’t disclosed Kate’s action? Come on…are you one of the young dumb girls that wants to sleep with the balding, fat, lazy, chain smoking, lieing theif? What about him accusing her of an affiar (no proof), him alerting the paps to her every move, him saying on national TV that he despises her, loves Hailey more than he ever loved Kate, slept around on Kate while still married but all of the girls he was with are just lying, and he only spent 22k and he has his withdrawl slip to prove it (how about some statements moron?), and that was all he took in the course of a year, and he doesn’t want the kids filmed but then he tries to get in good with the paps and offers to sell video footage of the girls birthdray…should I continue? You must live in a fantasy world. I’m glad there are people like you in the world because you can boink all of the low lifes like Jon so the rest of us can left alone by the likes of him.
At least when Jon changed the terms of the birthday visitation agreement, Kate didn’t call the cops on him , have her removed from the property, and then leave the kids alone in the house while she slept in the garage apartment having sex with the inappropriate babysitter.
I seriously question this guy’s level of intelligence and mental stability.
He’s just plain looser nad of course he wants the paparazzi with him at all times so he can talk shit and nonsense about Kate. That’s all he wantto have them on his side so Kate look sad helloooooooooooooooooooooooooo, who is this guys trying to kid? he’s an absolute asshole and nobody buys his shit anymore…Get help looser.

What a tongue twister this guy is. Get your doodoo together jon. Doesn’t anything embarrass you. What were you going to do, “cry it up to the cops”. Oh, yah, you better start looking for a new lawyer, cuz yours can’t work in Pa. LMAO
I’m so mad at my daddy. First the doofus spelled his name wrong on the sign he posted on our driveway gate, then the goofy goober spelled my name wrong on the birthday cake.
Both my parents are meanies. My mommy won’t give me any water to drink. And she spanks us a lot.
PA Children & Youth social workers are like cops, you can never find one when you need them the most!
Oh and one more thing. Mommy says we have no more money. And her body guard Steve keeps making weird sounds when he goes in her bedroom at night. Its sounds like he is hurting mommy. My daddy does the same thing to the baby sitters and nanny.
We are frightened. HELP!
I got a new computer for my birthday. I love it. I have OKmagazine saved in my favorites. I’m starting my own blog called “Jon, Kate and a house of Hate”.
Anybody know the email addy for Berk’s County PA Children and Youth? Enough is enough!
loser jon doesn’t run from the paparazzi because he needs a meal ticket. as long as his low level self is in the lime light maybe he will get his own show. if he does i will picket that network. the dude is such a CREEP!!!!
This guy can’t tell the truth, and he’s friendly with the media because he loves seeing himself in the news. If his mouth is open he’s probably lying.
A lot of people don’t believe that Kate is having an affair, because the paps hasn’t caught her in the act, but that doesn’t mean that Kate isn’t having an affair.
When it’s Kate’s turn to leave the house, so that Jon can be with the children, she goes in hiding. She even admitted that to Meredith on the Today show on August 10, 2009. She said that she goes in hiding from the paps. So that’s why her secret is in the dark for now.
Kate’s ex-fiance stated that Kate cheated on him and that’s why they never gotten married. I haven’t read anywhere, where Kate has denied it. If someone knows where I can find her denying her ex-fiance’s claim, then please point me to the right direction.
Kate can’t tell me that she hasn’t heard of her ex-fiance’s claim. It was on TV as well as all over the internet. If it was false, she would have came out and said so.
Another person that I haven’t read deny an affair rumor and that is her bodyguard Steve. Kate and his wife denied the rumor, but I haven’t read where he denied the rumor.
Kate had invtied Steve, wife and children to her house for a party to stop the rumors. Just because Steve, his wife and children went to her house, doesn’t mean she’s not having an affair with him. It doesn’t even mean that he’s with his wife. A lot of people pretend they are still together in the public eye, when they aren’t together anymore.
I’ve read that Kate and Jon been separated, but put on a show in the front of the cameras. Steve and his wife could be doing the same thing.
Steve doesn’t even wear a wedding ring. I wonder why.
