Rather than quietly slip back into the private world and attempt to heal his wounded family, Jon Gosselin continues to make sure everyone who will listen hears exactly how repentant he is for his behavior in recent months. On Sunday, the former reality star marched his pity parade straight up to the stage at Manhattan’s West Side Jewish Center, where J.Goss spoke candidly with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and the audience about — you guessed it — what a jerk he’s been and how he’s really, sincerely, honestly, trying to improve.
“Half the stuff I’ve done, if I look at my moral compass, I shouldn’t have done,” explained Jon, referring vaguely to his flaunting his relationship with Hailey Glassman, the 22-year-old daughter of his wife Kate’s plastic surgeon. “I know that but I did it anyway. It’s like fame canceled out conviction.”
Jon also shared that he now feels the need to apologize to his estranged wife for his acts, but that he wants to do it privately. “I’ll apologize to her for openly having relationships in the public eye. That was a huge mistake, because if she would’ve done that to me, I would have been extremely pissed off,” the thoughtful father-of-the-year explained. “And now that I think about it, it was a very wrong thing to do. I definitely regret it.”
And just in case you weren’t aware of just how sorry he is, Jon added, “It’s hard for me because I can’t forgive myself for the things I’ve done… So to ask for forgiveness from someone who may never forgive me is tough for me. I do apologize to Kate. I’m sorry for doing the things I did. I do ask for her forgiveness.”
In one laughable moment, Jon — who has gone onto every imaginable show that will have him to either point the blame finger at Kate or to blab about his own shortcomings — declared, “I’m not a fame seeker… I don’t sing. I don’t dance. I’m not a Nobel Peace Prize-winner. I just had eight kids and I had a show on TLC.”
With regard to his sputtering relationship with Hailey, which had been reported to be over late last week, Jon spun the news this way:
“We decided not to take a break, just slow things down, until I get through my divorce and I know everything is settled and okay,” said Jon. “I don’t want another failure in my relationships. I don’t want to make the same mistakes I made with Kate, with Hailey.”
Let’s hope that at the very least he doesn’t repeat the whole “having eight babies” thing with Hailey.
Just go away.
I totally agree. This guys needs a one way ticket to obscurity island.
i dont your talking out of your big black chubby lardy arse that i pounded last night mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy
grow up, take on responsibility and think about your kids. not some 22 y/o blond with a tighter stomach and perky boobs. You were part of the decision to have a family and now you are a the cause of yet ANOTHER broken home. What ever happened to families staying together.
What an idiot.
Dear Jon,
Im so sorry too. Sorry that like millions of sheep, I watched your show, made you famous, and then kept watching as the train wreck of your divorce happened. Please shut up and go get healed. When you look back on what you’re saying, even now, you’re going to feel like an even bigger idiot.
One of Millions
You shag your sheep
You shag sheep
and your horse
So, if he is sooo sorry, is he
a) going to let Kate plus 8 continue
b) stop trashing Kate
c) get a real job and support his 8 kids
No, No, No! He’s not THAT sorry
You must think that the public are complete morons. The only reason you care at all that the public knows that you are “sorry” for you actions is that you can continue your 15 minutes of fame. If you were really sorry you would have already apologized to your wife and children. Instead you are spinning another ridiculus storyline to grab up as many tabliod headlines that you can.
I’m sure Rabbi Schmuley is already working on his next book about you. I am also sure, along with the rest of the public, the two of you are pulling this pulic specticale to make yourselves more marketable for the next reality show. Looks like the Heene family and their “balloon Boy” hoax, gave the two of you a great idea! Should have taken some more time to think about how you were going to pull this hoax off! Much like Heene and his family you are way too obvious. Noone is buying it anymore, Jon.
Oh one more thing, Hailey’s performance. What a joke! Are you going to sell out everone you love???? How did you convience her to do that for you???? Seriuosly, just STFU already!
Seriously. That is how you spell it ok? Can you take that in dumbarse?
i know you total pickie twat
Jon repeats psychobabble buzz phrases like “check my moral compass” and complains about how tough it is for HIM instead of being a man and PRIVATELY trying to help his children through this much tougher time for them. He needs to be stopped from making public appearances until he grows a spine and stops doing and saying anything his PR people tell him to. He’s making a bigger ass of himself every day.
Gee what a bunch od dispicable gabbing ladies you all are, get over it, its not always the gus fault here, his wife of 10 years ended it a year ago.
Exactly, you both had 8 kids, famous for that and putting them on tv from the time they were in diapers, both get your lives in order and stop running to the media with the sobs and both stay home and be a parent.
This guy is a legend. I would bow to him if i saw him in the street. I would lick him from head to toe. Yum
Ok Wayne, first of all, you (we assume) are a guy, and you’re here reading and posting, so what does that say about you exactly…hmmm? And nobody said it’s always the guys fault. Jon Gosselin, however, is a putz. He needs to stop finding celebrities to council him PUBLICLY and making stupid statements that will hurt his children. He needs to stop whoring around on TV before his divorce is final How many bimbos and fame whores have you seen glommed onto Jon Gosselin since his separation was announced. Too many to count. How many have glommed onto Kate–ZERO. Guess who’s still being a parent, and who’s NOT. There hasn’t even been one iota of evidence that Kate ever cheated on Jon, and there’s tons of evidence that he is an asshole. Do the math. Jon’s an ass.
Do the math. YOUR AN IDIOT
WOW, get over it you scorned woman, he is not your husband and has done nothing to yopu, geez, move on with your own life and leave his alone
your an idiot i hate you because your well fugly and i cant believe you actually read this willy dribble i would rather try and lick myself out than read this article. im gonna come round your house and pound your but vince until it bleeds and blood gushes out like a juicy sloppy poo
These ladys or whatever you want to call them must be the ones that have a open chat room on Radar, seems to me they have no life or jobs to worry about someone elses man
FIRST, I am sick of all this CRAP! Enough is Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I was Kate..I would have made you leave too. No I would not have gone to counseling with you and tried to work it out when you CHEATED!!!!!!!!!!! and then just to let you know…YOU ARE STILL MARRIED…I would have your ass in court right now and making sure you had nothing left to stand on for adultry! Then, for all the humiliation you caused for your family I would have made sure I never gave you a second of my time EVER AGAIN IN THIS LIFE TIME…..you can fail and I would not try and hide it from your children. I would be completely honest with them. Third, I would have you destroyed for ending the show…I would go back to working as a nurse and make YOU figure out how to pay child support for 8 CHILDREN…don’t forget alimony you LITTLE FUCKER…. then I would sit back and watch you drown in your own self pity…..I hope you know it is all biting you in the A** and it will only get worse!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey , you talk just like Kate, get over yourself lady and pay that speeding ticket RADAR reported you got, cause Jon is not paying, don’t forget the points you get on your license too
STOP YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Katie is a scorned old hag
Jon, since you seem to be seeking advise from everyone under the sun. Go home on your days visit with the kids and give each of your kids some individual time they so seem to crave on your show. Instead of running to the fence for the photo shots or riding around on your toys, how about giving that time to your 8 children(and when they’re in school think about what you can do together when they get home). You’re whining you get no appreciation. They appreciate you, with hugs and laughs and smiles. Right now they should be all that count. Everyone has to be alone some time, so enjoy the time with your kids and give them some quality time from you.
This post is to KATIE-you seriously have some issues, you sound a little scorned to me. I’ll assume (I know I shouldn’t) that maybe your husband may have found someone else. Just a guess, but with the way you have went off here, I don’t blame him, your physco
I think he just needs to get a real job and that no one cares about how sorry he is. He should have thought about his family and especially his kids. Its so sad that he is so selfish to not think about his kids and think about him and his fame.. or what so called of a fame. I am just sick of him on the front page of magazine.. he is old news! Be a man get a job, support your kids, and realize your 5 minute fame is gone! Get back to the real world!
Go away!!! Stop keep aplozing over n over n over n over. We dont need your excuses. Just shut up and be queit!!! No Wonderhow Kate feel abt this. You need find a job to support 8 kids or dump them on the street since you stop the show and how can you afford to support Kate and 8 kids. You re really idiot. I never like you.
Welcome to real world!! Get a job to support ex wife, Kate and the 8 kids. Kate worked so hard and stay with the kids. You need wake up and move on to help Kate and the kids. youre really dumb . Thanks God I never meet you.
You Know what nobody is buy this just shut the f*** up jon and go and get a hobby or something
