Jon Gosselin: I’m Too Famous to Get a Job

November 13th, 2009 8:54 am / Author: Luisa Metcalfe

Jon GosselinJon Gosselin, who is suing the network who made him famous, claims that he is too well-known to get a normal job, RadarOnline.com reveals.

In a signed affadavit filed in his $5 million suit against TLC (which is suing him for breach of contract), Jon outlines the crux of his problem.

“Now, I find myself unemployed. And without the ability to secure non entertainment- related engagements because of the enormous media interest, cameras, reporters and public interest, it’s impossible to carry on normal daily activities, let alone find, secure and maintain a job with an employer who is willing to be exposed to the daily media intrusions that has impeded by life.”

He also claims that TLC staged scenes for Jon & Kate Plus 8, a reality show following the everyday challenges for the couple and their eight children.

“Plaintiff through its representatives and agents organize activities for me and my children, rehearsed and staged scenes, directed our actions and suggested dialogue, words, responses and conduct,” he wrote in the affidavit.

Meanwhile, Jon, 32, alleges that TLC preferred his estranged wife Kate Gosselin, 34, to him!

He notes that TLC enforced the employment terms “strictly and harshly towards me, while leniently, if at all, applying them towards my wife. The Plaintiff has promoted and even facilitated opportunities and appearances for my wife, yet attempts to restrain and enjoin me from making a living for my family.”

The Discussion

  1. Jon says:

    Jon Gosselin just doesn’t stop running his mouth!

    • k says:

      So why do you post on his pic?????????? hmmmmmmmm

    • FIREPROOF says:

      Instead of fighting with each other and TLC they need to fight for their marriage. JON and Kate need to forgive each other, watch fireproof and save their marriage. They need to fight for this marriage for their children, and their future, they are much stronger together, and let’s face it, Jon without Kate is nothing but an embarrassment. Someone has to give them the challenge - TLC could reward them with a special on saving your marriage and fighting for your family.

    Sorry, from here u have do work doing what u do best: TALKING TRASH ABOUT YOUR WIFE AND YOURSELF AND THEN PLAN B, THE RECONCILIATION OF JON AND KATE
    YOU BOTH ARE PATHETIC.
    You guys are together but milking the cow.

  6. Nancy says:

    Boy, what a baby he is!! He can find non-entertainment work if he really wants it. Alot of actors and entertainers have done it. Eventually the paparazzi will leave you alone. He is just not trying. And it is his own fault he is unemployed. He was making ALOT of money on Jon and Kate plus 8. He is the one that pulled the plug on his own show!! I think maybe he is a little jealous of Kate. But, then again Kate was awfully mean to him during their marriage so of course after enough of that people are going to divorce you!

  7. Joanne says:

    Maybe Jon could work for Play Girl … LOL!

  8. Nicola says:

    i think that jon is pathetic. You have him who was throwing away hundred of thousands of dollars money that average middle class doesn’t make, he picked up smoking, and used to publicity to get himself some attention. whether kate was bad to him or not, a topic that he also milked attenion from that is not excuse for the way that he acted. and now he is complaining about not being able to get work? what about when he first left the house? John is full of shit if he thinks that he is worthy of any more pitty. He lived a luxury life for the time that he was married and then didn’t care about saving any of that money for his children. He thinks that he is famous and he does it by creating controversy in the media about TLC and his wife. “she was bad to me so i am going to stoop to her level and become a dumb ass way to go JON

  9. Renee says:

    What a fat, lazy ass loser. Next you will be hearing him say ” Sorry, but I am too famous to take care of my kids.” What a load a crap!

  10. stayfree says:

YUCK HAIR AND FACE KATE MEAN!!! sicko kate

  11. J says:

    Well he is right about that, stay on tv and do some sort of television I guess cause like Kate said over and over, ” we can’t go back”

  12. Pssssss says:

  13. stella2010l says:

    I wonder if JON every said,”I AM TO SEXY FOR MY SHIRT”?

  14. Angel says:

    whats about Kate and the kids??? Will Jon support them?? Probably not!!! He thinks himself tooooooooo mcuh!!! im really lost intersting in him now. …

  15. melissa says:

    John are you really that stupid!!!!! why do think people DONT like you? It’s NOT because of Kate, It’s your actions. Kate isnt making you do any of this, your actions are your own John, you take respomsibility for them and stop blaming others. I use to really like you and thought you were a great father, I honestly cant say that anymore and thats not because of Kate thats because of your own actions. I dont know maybe you werent a good father before and we are really seeing your true colors now, either way it is sad. When you are out spending money on a girl you really hardly know (even thought you say she is your best freind) instead of speading time closer to your children and saving for there future, you are NOT scoring any points with ANYONE. This girl could be gone tomorrow, but your family will always be there. THINK ABOUT IT, if you can. Dont blow up any more bridges John, you wont be able to get back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
