EXCLUSIVE: Jon Gosselin’s Attorney Calls Kate Major Lawsuit A Joke
Posted on Nov 19, 2009 @ 09:09PM - 314 comments
If Jon Gosselin is sweating a possible lawsuit from his former fling Kate Major, he’s not showing it.
In fact, Gosselin’s attorney, Mark Heller, told RadarOnline.com exclusively that he thinks the entire case (Major is considering suing the reality dad for breach of contract, fraud and loss of wages) is a joke.

“Kate knows Jon Gosselin is like Obama’s stimulus package,” Heller told RadarOnline.com on Thursday. “Every time she needs money, she cashes in on the few days she knew Jon Gosselin.”
Heller is, of course, referring to the handwritten agreement obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com and signed by both Jon and Kate 2.0, in which Major agreed to quit her job and go work for Gosselin as his personal assistant.

Heller confirmed that the document is real, however he says it has no legal value.
“It holds as much order as a six-inch pail with a nine-inch hole,” he told RadarOnline.com. “It will not serve for the basis of any litigation. Anybody who would seek to file a lawsuit based on that document would be sanctioned. Her lawyer was very cautious in his language when he said ‘possible’ [breach of contract lawsuit]. Clearly he has no options concerning that matter.”
Kate Major Retains Lawyer To Sue Jon Gosselin
RadarOnline.com spoke to Major’s attorney, Ben Pietra, on Wednesday, who confirmed that the former entertainment magazine reporter had retained his services for a “possible breach of contract lawsuit against Jon Gosselin.”
A well-placed source told RadarOnline.com that Kate and Jon spent a weekend in a hotel where they drew up the contract. Kate had just resigned from her position as an entertainment magazine reporter, and according to the source, “Jon told her he would match the salary she was making at the magazine if she came to work for him as his personal employee.”

EXCLUSIVE: Watch Out! Jon & Kate Will Go Face-to-Face In Divorce Battle Within Next Few Days

Jon and Kate Gosselin are about to be reunited – with a referee between them!
Actually it won’t be a referee, but they will be monitored by a court-appointed arbitrator.
RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the warring couple will come face-to-face within the next several days to hammer out details of their divorce.

After talking about each other in separate national TV interviews for months, Jon and Kate will now face off behind closed doors and division of money is still a significant issue, sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Potentially complicating a resolution is the fact that Jon is being sued by TLC for breach of contract. He not only faces large legal bills but also could be on the hook for a huge sum of money if TLC prevails and is awarded damages. One scenario has Jon dragging out the divorce so that the couple’s money is still pooled – with Jon hoping Kate will convince TLC not to proceed against him because it will take money away from her and the kids.

But Kate doesn’t want to drag out the divorce. And if she has her way and the marriage is officially dissolved, the reality TV dad will be on his own if it comes time to pay TLC, and that bill could be astronomically high.

TLC is represented by Williams & Connolly, one of the best law firms in the country. Lead attorney Paul Gaffney has lined up a slew of depositions with people who were close to Jon during the past few months when TLC alleges he breached his contract and went rogue on the network. In addition, TLC is moving ahead with its attempt at a preliminary injunction against Jon and if it is granted Jon will not be able to trade off his “fame” for cash in paid interviews and appearances as he has been doing. He will also be restricted from pursuing other TV projects.

Jon has been in Hawaii for the past several days. One source says that instead of the harsh rhetoric he’s been using against Kate, he’s now ready to try a more conciliatory approach. Sources close to Kate say she wants to move on with her life as quickly as possible.
The final episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 airs November 23.

Jon Gosselin signed a secret, hand-written contract with Kate Major, hiring her as his personal assistant, promising to pay her a percentage of his "accounts" and spelling out that she would not talk about their relationship.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the crude agreement that is a new source of trouble in Jon's already litigation-packed life. Now, a source tells RadarOnline.com, this document is likely the centerpiece in a new lawsuit against Jon for breach of contract and fraud.

The words “Broken Dreams, Broken Promises, Broken Episodes” flashed across a black screen before the second new episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 on Monday night. One of the first stories “interrupted by the events of this summer” was an episode dubbed “Passports to Nowhere” when the family went to get their passports for an overseas trip that eventually never happened.

After asking the children not to divulge the location of their trip for security reasons, Kate lashed out at Jon after he slips and mentions their destination while berating Kate for writing “Korea” instead of “South Korea.”
“Kate freaks out about everything.” Jon mumbled under his breath. Kate, who was on the floor looking through the children’s photos as they colored around her, quickly retorted: “I don’t know what planet you’re on!”

In retrospect, Kate admitted, “I don’t think I handled that too well.” The trip to the travel agency happened during February as rumors of Jon’s alleged infidelity became public.
According to Kate, the trip never happened because “Jon didn’t want the kids to go which made me very sad because it was a lifelong dream of ours to get our kids back to Korea where their ancestors came from.”

“This was kind of weird and different,” Kate said when looking back at her dinner outing with the children. “It probably is the first time I took all eight kids to dinner. I’m not going to say along but, you know, without Jon.”
Even through she patted herself on the back about how “efficient” she was, she did concede that she and Jon used to “have a process” of passing out the cups, foods, etc.
After brushing off the nostalgia, Kate couldn’t help but add: “I didn’t feel like I was too hindered by it.”

EXCLUSIVE NEW COURT PAPERS: Lawyers Demand TLC Make Jon Gosselin's Contract Public
Posted on Nov 16, 2009 @ 04:42PM - 259 comments
Jon Gosselin's lawyers are demanding that a court not allow TLC to seal the reality star's contract in their legal battle, according to new court papers obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com.
EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: Click Here To Read The New Court Papers
In Defendant's Response To Plaintiff's Motion To Seal Certain Exhibits, Jon's lawyers claim that TLC is "hiding" its contract from the public and from the state of Pennsylvania, which is investigating potential violations of child labor laws.

And cranking up the rhetoric, Jon's lawyers say they have a lesson for The Learning Channel. They write: "The Plaintiff's contract herein will no doubt become a "learning tool" used in "Contract 101" Law School classes as an example of what not to do when drafting an agreement that you want to be enforceable."

It's all part of TLC's breach of contract suit against Jon, who, as RadarOnline.com was first to report, is countersuing the network for $5 million.

Team Jon, led by lawyer Mark Heller and Maryland lawyer Christopher Hostage, are continuing their argument that Jon's contract with TLC is overly restrictive and against Public Policy.

TLC wants the court to seal the contract. Meanwhile, the network's motion for a preliminary injunction stopping Jon from making other non network approved media appearances or taking on TV jobs, will be heard Dec. 14 in Montgomery County, MD Circuit Court.

In the new court papers, Jon's lawyers also claim TLC has been questioned by Pennsylvania officials about work permits. Jon's lawyers write: "Plaintiff's request to seal the documents demonstrates its desire to covet its overreaching and unconscionable terms from Public scrutiny and to shield it from discovery and analysis by third parties, such as the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry which is investigating the Plaintiff's failure to acquire Work Permits for the Gosselin children and the Local Municipality which has been inquiring into Plaintiff's "location/film permit" requirements where the show was filmed."
