The letters from Jon's attorney to TLC were dated Tuesday, the same day the network announced it was minimizing his role on the show and changing the name to Kate Plus 8.
Jon now says he believes it is not in the best interest of the children's welfare to continue with production of the show.
He also says he found out about the show's name change by reading about it in the press and that he has been in discussion for weeks with the network about pulling the plug on the show.The father-of-eight is currently in Los Angeles for a press tour which starts Thursday, when he will be a guest on Larry King Live.
Kate Plus 8 airs Mondays at 9/8c on TLC.

Let Jon know that he is doing the right thing by getting the cameras out of his family home.

Jon is doing the right thing by getting the cameras out of his children's life. He is not a saint and he's a bit late to the party but he is there. People should support the end of the cameras in these children's life.

Jon you should have saved your money! TLC won't be filming when you are there cause they don't want you!

wintrywood, since TLC doesn't want Jon, why are they keeping him from doing another reality show?

I wonder how much he had to pay his lawyer to write to TLC? He has no power to ban TLC from his property if Kate wants to film during her time with the kids. I doubt TLC will come there to film when hes there anyway.

Jon is gross (caught picking nose) and he is not good looking and he is really a nobody that should get a life. His girlfriend is no beauty either. He is not in shape and just all over YUK!

I don't blame him at all. As long as it's the Kate show, who knows how she and TLC will decide how to portray Jon. Like him or not, there are 8 children who love their FATHER, and don't deserve to be in the middle.
