EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Jon Gosselin Denied Show Was Harming Kids Just One Month Ago
Posted on Oct 01, 2009 @ 09:30AM
Jon Gosselin is demanding that TLC pull the plug on Jon & Kate Plus 8, saying the show is "detrimental" to his children.
But just one month ago, after a family member made the same charge, Jon dismissed the claim as "ridiculous' - and RadarOnline.com has the video to prove it!
VIDEO: Jon Defends The Show He's Now Trying To Take Off The Air
Kate Gosselin's brother Kevin Kreider and his wife Jodi gave exclusive video interviews to RadarOnline.com in late July, saying they believed the Gosselin children were being exploited and the show should be shut down.
But Jon vehemently denied that and defended the show he's now trying to shut down, days after the network announced it was minimizing his role and changing the name of the program to Kate Plus 8.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Kate's Brother And Sister-In-Law Tell
In a video interview posted on RadarOnline.com in late July, Jon responded to assertions that the show was harming his children by saying that the kids love the production crew and have built a rapport with them.
"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."

Were the kids overworked? Not according to Jon, who said: "My kids probably film an hour and half to two hours a day and we only film three days a week. For Kevin and Jodi to go out there and say were filming eight hours a day and it's hard core, that's ridiculous."
"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."

So Jon is a big fat bald liar. We all knew that. The show needs to end and if this will do it ,fine. Jon and Kate are both losers. Time for the show to go bye-bye forever.

People forget Jon has been under contract to TLC . TLC knew of the Gosselins marriage trouble a few years ago but continued to push for episodes of the show. Jon may not have a contract anymore so he can finally say what he wants to

Good for you Jon. Better late then never. At some time, one of you had to finally realize that this show was not in the best interest of the children. Doesn't matter when it came as long as it did.

Jon is digging his own grave. He will come out of this divorce with nothing and Kate will be no worse for the wear.

If Jon gets this off the air. Lets see how far Jon or Kate will go in TV. No where but out. Now Kate does not need her bodyguard. Bet his wife will be happy..They are both asses and need to be off the air.

This is just more of "Jon being Jon". Frankly, after the last few months I don't know how Kate stayed married to him as long as she did.
