VIDEO: Jon Gosselin - Aunt Jodi's Claims "Ridiculous"
Posted on Jul 31, 2009 @ 02:20PM
Jon Gosselin said in a new video that claims the Gosselin children have been overworked by their aunt, Jodi Kreider, are "ridiculous," especially coming from someone who hasn't been around the family for months, the 32-year-old said outside a Wernersville, Pennsylvania UPS store Thursday.
He said that he hasn't spoken to Jodi's husband, Kevin, since January and wasn't particularly close with him even when the clan was on better terms.
"They don’t even know where we live," he said of the Kreiders.
Gosselin implied the Kreiders couldn't possibly be credible sources of inside info, adding, "They were only in seasons one and two, anyway."
He countered the exploitation implications by saying that his kids aren't as exploited as their fame-hungry aunt and uncle would have one think.
"My kids probably film an hour and half to two hours a day and we only film three days a week," he said. "For Kevin and Jodi to go out there and say were filming eight hours a day and it’s hard core, that’s ridiculous."
He said his children have built a rapport with the show's production personnel, adding his kids love the camera crew.

"They make nicknames for them," he said. "We all get along and play together. It’s comfortable for the kids to film. They look at this [filming] as life. No one has ever forced them to do anything. I’ve never forced them to film. We don’t force them to do anything they don’t want to do. They’re not actors and actresses. They just do their normal things.”
Both he and his wife Kate "love our kids" and have "always been there for them," the reality TV dad said.
"The whole premise of the show was to save money for the kids," Jon said. "Kate and I's number one priority are our kids."
He left the conversation with a message for his large and growing following: "Please people stop interfering in our lives -- we know what’s best."
A new episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 airs Monday, August 3 at 9/8c on TLC.

Way to go Jon...someone is thinking of the kids. Kate only sees $$ signs when she looks at her money machine kids. Someone had to do something. Cara & Mady were going crazy during the Farmer/veggie episode; I can't believe TLC showed all that.

I think the money and fame has gone to both of their heads. Funny how money seems to change everything and not for the good either.

This may sound snarky, but it looks like he's expecing a ninth.

I cannot justify watching this show now that these two have split up. The only way I can protest their immature, irresponsible antics is to boycott the show! I have had enough these two douchebags.

Amazing how quickly everyone forgets that KATE is the one who wanted to keep the show going when Jon wanted it over, and that he quit his job so SHE could go on Book Tours and speaking engagements. He's a douche, but she is too!

Poooor Jon. It's his "JOB" now! He can have it! I'd rather have my life than paps watching over me all day and night!
