BREAKING NEWS: TLC Responds To Jon Gosselin, Suspends Filming
Posted on Oct 01, 2009 @ 03:06PM
It looks like Jon Gosselin is fighting a bitter divorce war on two fronts now.
TLC has now responded to Jon's bombshell that he wants to shut down the reality show because he doesn't think it's good for his kids.
Jon Gosselin Posts Sign Warning TLC To Stay Away From Home -- Or Else!
The network released this statement Thursday morning:
"We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic. Despite Jon Gosselin's repeated self destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents.
Jon & Kate Show Renamed; Jon On The Way Out
It doesn't take any reading between the lines to figure out that TLC is going to use their contract with Jon as leverage in this battle. And Jon's lawyer has already staked out the position that the newly renamed Kate Plus 8 does not, in his opinion, have the right to film the children based on Jon's previous consent.
EXCLUSIVE: Jon Wants To Slow Down Divorce? That's News To Kate!
Still, TLC's statements is one of the strongest we can recall of a network bashing its own talent. Calling Jon "self destructive" and "erratic" and characterizing his movements as "unprofessional actions" are certainly fighting words!

The exploitation of a family system is coming to an end. Shame on TLC for destroying a family system for the love of $$$. Shame of TLC for stealing $$ from the family when TLC made mllions then throwing peanuts for the Gosselin family.

To Stef......I think you mean you "COULDN'T care less". Many people make that grammatical error.
Your poor grammar, as you wrote it, indicates that you do indeed care.

Jon Gosselin has made the comment that his family is now a "train wreck".
Unfortunately, as reflected in his actions of the past several months, the "train wreck" just might be Mr. Gosselin himself.

Charlie Sheen took Denise Richards to court to try and stop her from filming with the kids. She won. All he is doing now is digging a grave. TLC is going to hit him with a lawsuit for breach of contract. Hope he can afford his attorney then.

Just when you think Jon can't go any lower he proves you wrong! He should have a show titled Worlds Biggest a**hole! Jon hasn't put his childrens best interest above his own selfish ones in a year! Pathetic loser. must be related to Michael Vick
