Kate Gosselin's Magical Marriage Contract

That's not a mini skirt. And those aren't heels.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

neither heels nor a mini skirt. she's taking her kids to the dentist in long shorts and sandals. totally reasonable. she needs the money from her sham tv show reality to pay for her kids. at least she's not pouting into a latte with it like other sham tv reality show relationships. if your marriage were in shambles, would you decide "that's it. my marriage is over. my love life is ruined. i guess now would be a good time to QUIT MY JOB AND BE A SINGLE UNEMPLOYED MOTHER OF 8" this is how she makes money. until she can get another job that allows her to raise 8 children while doing it, she is going to do what she needs to do to keep it.

What a cunt.

... And she spent her kid's birthday tanning. 'Cause it was important.

WHY DOESN'T SHE HAVE A-N-Y FRIENDS EXCEPT HER BROKEN-DOWN OLD 'BODYGUARD'?

@ #6 -- Are YOU blind? Look at the other three photos. Those are not shorts.

Those "heels" are fugly. You'd think with the money she getting from popping them out like a crackwhore bunny she could afford better.

it is definitely a skirt; it just looks like shorts in the first picture because of the kid's shoe.

i cannot wait for the season premiere so they can fake that they care about each other.

@10 It's not shorts but it sure isn't a miniskirt.

Gee, those are nice shoes Kate's kids bought her by having their young lives perpetually exploited ... and nice jewelry ... and nice sunglasses ... and a nice outfit ... and a nice house ...

Mother of the year, for sure.

And I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to stay in that relationship. A nasty wife who doesn't even clean up good. A dopey husband. EIGHT kids underfoot.

Sounds like f'ing "Leave it to Beaver." What more could a human ask for?

Is anything being set aside for the kids' college expenses, or is it all dropping into Kate's expensive-looking purse?

KATE,
YOU
DO
NOT
DESERVE
TO
HAVE
EVEN
ONE
KID!

We dont have too many of those in our time, but that woman (if true) is a visionary!

Unless any of you are Jon or Kate, no one here should have a sound basis for passing any kind of judgement on the husband or the wife. Shit happens, and it is rarely the case that it is the fault of just one person when in a relationship. Separation/divorce is the result of a tragic cascade of events caused rarely by just one person.

The ones who truly suffer are the children, so have some quiet respect for their sake. The media will always be the media--letting us know what's up--but you all as human beings, as individuals, have the decency to at least feel a little compassion for the family before you transmit words of hate and ignorance.

Sorry; I have no resepct for Miss Kate. I find her to be abusive to her husband and kids (by using them for money), as well neglectful of them -- just my opinion.

She's awful.

I've never seen this show - about a week ago I broke down and searched who the hell Jon and Kate are. Wish I hadn't, it's the most useless piece of knowledge in my brain now.

So is it America likes watching a 'happy family' on TV - or that they enjoy watching white trash?

Dear #19,

I respectfully invite you to read the f'ing URL. You have evidently pressed the wrong link. This isn't Oprah, it's THE SUPERFICIAL.

People don't come here for reasoned discussion about private matters. We come here to see tits, crashes, and flames.

#20. Forming ideas based on what you see on television is a very misleading process of thinking and feeling. But, to each his own.

A mini-skirt is defined as any garment that possesses a hemline that falls a minimum of five inc-- OH WHO FUCKING CARES. It's yet another fake TV Christian relationship presented as the perfect family for all of us heathen/pagans to learn from. "Just follow Jesus and your marriage and life will be as perfect as ours" is what we are supposed to take away from it. When she gets to Hell, Vulcan is going to have his glorious way with her.

#22. Being a douche is your choice. Not mine.

so... can their show even be considered REALITY now?

Having an open marriage is not always a bad or gross thing. I just wish they would be honest about it on the show and not try to pretend that they are something they aren't.

"...it takes many people to pull off the ruse of showcasing their dysfunctional marriage as a happy one for the cameras."
WTF?
Who in their right mind thought their marriage was/is happy?
Kate is a WITCH and Jon is passive agressive, this was never going to end well.
I LOVE those kids and would watch a show that didn't include Jon or Kate, at all.
It's just sad that they have to grow up listening to their parents treat each other the way they do.
All 8 are going to grow up and be just as dysfunctional as mommy and daddy...

'respect,' you aren't being very respectful.

Yea,the kids getting it's teeth cleaned while Kate's getting her canal routed

#29. I'm not a doormat either: you disrespect me, you lose my respect. See #19 comment prior to my comment.

Go take your meds and watch the show ...

"hypocrit" check out #22's comment. Respect ends when some douche goes dropping F-bombs.

#25. now look at you being disrespectful of someone who was just stating an opinion. i agree with #22, this is the superficial--a snarky gossip site. if you think you are going to make people see your way on a site like this, you are clearly mistaken. that family opened themselves up to be judged the second they sold out their kids and decided to exploit them and rob them of a normal life so they can make millions. i can understand if they agreed to one or two specials to get extra cash to scrape by, but they let this go on and tun into a money train. it is sick.

#32. What meds? What is up with all the hostilities and anger towards absolute strangers on this site? I think most of you need meds. WOW.

I'm out. Peace.

exploiting children is just soo much fun for them.

Kate aint perfect BUT neither is her brother.
Kevin and Jodi are blood suckers...getting paid to rip on his sister.Cant stand when vultures come out of the woodwork to cash in on stories, let alone loved ones.Pitiful!

Who the fuck cares!!!

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, 'respect.'

Verrry interrresting , I detect a slight case of the Cankles; usually, but not always, caused by lack of activity or laziness in childhood and adolescents, where zee ankle and calve become one.
She is alzo verrry near to hitting zee wall: that is the age of 40 or so when evyrtting goes Kaputt for vomen.

I recommend exploiting zee children as much as possible now before you boths get too old. Zank you

Dentist visit ? maybe she's taken the more direct route of selling her litter
door-to-door

Um IDIOTS!! Walk a mile in someone's shoes before you make judgements. These their business and their life, wouldn't you keep the appearance going for your family and because you need to provide for your family. You people must be saints because MOST of YOU sound like you have been living perfect Lives. GO out and get a Life MORONS! I see Kate takling care of her children and is doing what she needs to do, R u? Or R U letting the gov't take care of your kids. I applaud Kate and Jon. I hope they do what's best for them. As for you idiots I hope you get a clue!

The Superficial BIATCH!!!

I'm just thinking here... Wouldn't more people watch the show if they got to see these two idiotic adults actually DEALING with this problem instead of covering it up?? American society eats drama up.. Look at all those "Flavor of Love" type shows..
Bitch fight!! =]

I wonder If Jon's allowed to bring the bar whores back to the house and do the kids call them "aunt"? Do they call the Bodyguard daddy?

its called : GET SOME FUCKING MARRIAGE COUNSELING YOU DOUCHEBAGS!!!!

I HOPE ALL THE CHURCHES SHE'S BEGGED MONEY FROM -- GET TOGTHER AND SUE HER FOR FRAUD.

THERE ARE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO COULD HAVE USED THAT MONEY TO ACTUALLY SURVIVE -- NOT ON KATE'S TANNING SESSIONS, LEATHER JACKETS, AND FANCY 'DOS.

SHAME ON YOU, KATE GOSSELEIN. SHAME.

Um, she's still driving a Mazda minivan and her kid's drinking Dasani so I don't think that we can equate dressing nicely (but totally reasonably!) with flaunting her wealth just yet.

I think that she's doing really well for having eight kids and an irresponsible husband.

Nina/respect -- STFU. And take your meds. Now.

She's getting called on her scam now by the public. It' s good thing to see. But they have already done their part to ruin the trust that exists between people. Myself, I'm always wondering if everything is a scam.

Did anyone not expect the fairy tale to be just that? The few times I saw the show she was a nagging harpie and he acted like a moron. I know that reality shows are more show than reality, but how does anyone enjoy watching these two unlikable dolts? Neither one of them deserves any sympathy. It's also disturbing to watch them whore their children's intimate moments growing up for the viewing audiences' enjoyment. Go ahead and put the therapist on speed dial!

I'm shocked. I'm shocked that the characters of a "reality" show end up, in real life, as being vapid fame whores who totally shrivel up in the limelight. And then they complain about people making comments about them, and not respecting their "privacy" (ummmmm, you sold your "privacy" like a prostitute a long time ago, morons). I'm shocked that they lack the mental and emotional capacity to live life as normal human beings.

And have I made the point yet that trading your dignity in for money is something hookers do? But then I would be disrespecting street walkers who actually make an honest living and don't pretend to be anything else than what they are.

"Having an open marriage is not always a bad or gross thing. I just wish they would be honest about it on the show and not try to pretend that they are something they aren't."

QFE

It's gonna cost a fortune in therapy for all eight of those little cloned fuckers.

This bitch who grew up daughter of a minister in a trailer park knows where the easy money is. It's in the naive middle class churchgoer's hands and it's like taking candy from a baby to get it....... Get the kids to sing "Jesus Loves Me" a couple of times, drop Christianity here and there, mention that you go to church, play " poor me"and the Jesus freaks come running with wads of cash to give you. She's played them like a fiddle from the start when the children were born at her 1st house . Her scam is completely calculated. She's always on the road hustling money from those who do not know any better.

I want to see her sell Open Marriage to people who like to sit in thier own pew.

@54 You hit the nail on the head! This bitch saw a gravy train in the making and she cashed in on it. She pimps her kids for cash and they should all be taken away from her sick ass. Make no mistake though, Jon isn't any better. He's a piece of garbage too. I hope all her devoted supporters now see her for who she really is. It disgusts me to know that there are so many people that work hard to raise their kids and never ask for a single handout. That is all this bitch has been getting since the start of thes how...free shit. I hope they pull the show off the air and I hope she loses every cent. Kate you're nothing but a fucking douchebag and a shitty mom!

who gives a fuck what she's wearing. she's still a sick bitch.

Their marriage never appeared happy, and she came off as a high strung witch.

Besides all that, good for her kicking him to the curb. With a family of that size they are undoubtedly under stress. If he can't keep it in his pants when times get tough then I really don't blame her. She doesn't need another child to watch over.

I so called this months ago! Watch ten minutes of the show and you know they hate each other and she loves the cameras. Of course she's going to do whatever it takes to keep her happy family appearance on TV and keep the dough rolling in.

that woman is bat shit crazy. and greedy. and a bitch. no wonder he wanted different pootang

For the people who say she is exploiting her children and husband.... ummm, what the -- ...?? Is it not BOTH her AND her husband exploiting THEIR children?

As for this little contract she drew up... this has been their livelihood for however many years, and both Kate and Jon are benefiting from this new arrangement. As single parents how else are they going to support 8 kids and still maintain their lifestyle? I'm quite certain Jon's day job won't pay for their educations and spousal support for his unemployed wife.

This was the best thing to happen to them and this show. Its generated ratings for TLC and revenue for all the crap sold. Its a win win for everyone.

I think this is all a marketing ploy. And if its true, who could blame Jon for wanting a little strange on the side.....

please put that big ass kid down && let her walk. that is all.

bitch for sure..but great legs!

bitch for sure..but great legs!

Hellooooo? Did you ever see their body language? Kate frequently has her arm up in "guard" to him. What happy couple is so separate? I feel sorry for the children. What will happen after the cameras are turned off, since they have been in their face since birth?

Unfortunate, money grubbing.

How does Kate differ from the moms on 'Table for 12' or '18 Kids and Counting'? Do you really think that these are perfect families without issues or controversy?

Divorce or no divorce, the show must go on.

Pfft, I seriously bet most of you would do the same thing, but of course you sit on your high horses thinking you're somehow morally superior then her. Money brings out the worst in people. I fuckin hate it. It pretty much destroyed my own family and my relatives families.

The bitch is crazy and she won't stop begging at churches until the last drooling Christian whackjob has caught on to her scam..&.. .that could be a while.

All the adults involved in this fiasco are fucked. EVEN JOHN. He is so dense at times, and yet everyone is rallying behind him like some kind of god. Both him and Kate messed up. Even stupid Jodi, who is doing nothing but compounding the issue. Maybe Kate needs to back off John and maybe John needs to grow a spine. But honestly, if John has a problem with the marriage, he really should not be bar hopping and fucking around with other woman. He has a family to raise, and he shouldn't forget that! Even if he thinks Kate has turned into a huge "bitch".

#70 For all that she's a controlling bitch who rags on him for feeding the kids pizza and not the compartmentalized and labelled organic meals she wants them to eat, he seems like a massive tool. She made some good points in the "People" article - he had a chance to work and have a separate career from all this - he couldn't manage to get motivated and quit, leaving the benefits behind. He considered going back to school - that never happened. Then he wanted to bail on the speaking engagements - because she did it do much better.
Look, if he wants to stay home and be a nanny, he can't give the kids pizza every day. He also can't bitch about his wife not letting him do anything when it looks like he doesn't WANT to do anything with his life. He doesn't want any responsibility, but he also wants to get paid for bitching about how sorry his life is. Looks like she was dumb enough to marry her 9th kid.

this woman is a money hungry bitch. go away.

so the truth is out: AMERICANS LOVE TO FOOL OTHER AMERICANS, folks!!

After so many seasons of the show; they should have enough $ to live off of. It’s time to quit the show and focus on fixing the broken family unit. The most precious gift Kate and Jon can give their children is an intact, loving family…where mom and dad are loving towards each other.

FRUMPAY LADAY!

Greedy Kate needs her uneducated bitchy mouth wired shut + a muzzle + a brown bag over her head . Then I'll watch again.

I don't blame her husband for wandering.

It's appalling how quickly one forgets the people that were there for you when the cameras and media weren't around. Kate, just remember, what goes around, comes around. I refuse to watch your sham of a show and I hope others do the same.

She's off the hook narcissist. She does have cellulite above her knees though but she is 32 yrs old and a mom - she should dress like it. She is older than John by 2 yrs. I don't think he had an affair - I believe the man - I think he just needed someone to talk to - I also think he wasn't thinking exactly brilliantly is talking to his child's teacher - but people who are verbally abused and berated for so many years don't always make good or sane choices.
He wanted to stop the show last year. She didn't. She says she "has" to do book tours. Nooo they end too - she is just gearing up for her new talk show in the works. This woman is like some kind of disgusting heartless robot. NONE of her family has anything to do with her and it's been that way for years...does this not tell us anything? She is looking out for Kate and Jon is one beaten man. I have witnessed him trying to stand up for himself to no avail - I'm sure he (unlike her) was at a loss of what to do because of the children. She is just short of getting away with child abuse here (in my eyes she is getting away with spousal and child neglect) She calls herself a "Christian Woman"...but when I look up Proverbs Wife ...she ain't it...lol
She is cold and fake fake fake and really has a lot of emotional or mental health issues that apparently TLC has decided to bank on at the expense of this family and all of these children. If TLC had a conscience and not just after the almighty dollar - they would have canceled this show and not given Kate G a new one in the works. What have we "Learned" here at "The Learning Channel"....Greed turns you into a raging monster that will turn it's back on it's own husband and children for some fame.

I've been thinking.....after all those kids.....sex with her must be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. Her boobs are probably like socks hanging with sand in the toes...GROSS. Maybe she can also squander her kids college money to get that shit fixed! Oh yeah.....Kate can suck my sack! Don't watch that f'ed up show and give her any more money. Don't buy her stupid book! Stop the madness NOW!

One more thing....someone above mentioned that money is the root of all evil. That is exactly true! Why is our economy so fucked up? Well, there seems to be an abundance of Kate Gosselins out there who would sacrafice everything for money or status. The housing crisis is simply from idiots buying things that they couldn't afford and lucky me gets to pay the bill. I also find it amazing that Kate is (or was) a nurse since one might think of a nurse as being a caring person. It was obvious even in the early episodes that she doesn't possess that quality. She seemed more concerned with the kids wearing matching clothes and not getting dirty. Was that for the kids or for the image that she wanted for herself.....you be the judge! The problem is that we are still sending her money every day by watching "her" show. Hell, I've even geen guilty of it from time to time...but not anymore. Fuck You Kate Gosselin!

I wonder if Kate would do some lesbian porn for some money....I might actually start watching that!

IS THIS THE JODI SHOW? Why are we hearing so much from Kate's brother and his wife Jodi? Sounds like jealous hillbillies. I honestly think this women JODI spends her day trashing Kate. Every bit of garbage comes back to Kate's brother and Jodi. NICE FAMILY!!!
