“All I can tell you from my conversation with him two days ago is that he does want to pursue the Divorced Dads Club,” Lohan said. “Michael Heller, he and I represent Jon on a business level, wants him to do the show. Mark is trying to get him out of the TLC contract so he can.”

“TLC has come out and basically cut him out of Jon & Kate Plus 8,” he added. “They’ve taken the step already to do so. But what they’re trying to do is cut him out, cut him out, but tie him up still so he can’t do something else, while they reinvent Kate.”

Jon is a jerk and so is Lohan. Has anyone asked him if he stops the show how is he going to support the family in the lifestyle they are now accustom to? No one is going to hire this jerk. SHUT UP JON!

Let Jon know he is doing the right thing by getting the cameras our of his family home. Support a Camera free childhood for the Gosselins!

Mr. Lohan needs to mind his own business. Just like he was to told to stay out of it when he tried to interfere during a filming of the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta.' Jon needs to stay away from this jerk, it certainly is not going to help him.

I just thought of something. What if he is holding this over K's head. Letting her know he still has a say so. K the controller must be going wild.

I agree with everyone saying j's choice of friends has not been stellar. He needs to drop them. Otherwise all of his "new found responsible father" is not believable.

If jon is trying to clean up his image he needs to distance himself from this s****bag.

I am sure Kate will find a way to make money,even if the kids can no longer do the show. On the other hand,Jon is going to have a hard time trying to find a job that will allow him the lifestyle he has become accustomed to.

What's there to argue? Jon won't give his consent to TLC to film his children. He is their father. Not TLC. Without his consent TLC can not continue filming. The show is done.
