Jon & Kate File for Divorce
26 06 2009
TLC has announced a halt in production of Jon & Kate Plus 8 until August 3. So we won’t be seeing the lives of the toddlers too much for a while. Next week’s episode will contain new footage combined with old clips. On Monday, Jon and Kate filed papers for legal separation in Pennsylvania. Both Jon and Kate released statements concerning the divorce.
Kate: “Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children. While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself. As always, my first priority remains our children.”
Jon: “This afternoon, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my number one priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe. My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that.”
TLC states, “TLC continues to support the Gosselin family and will work closely with them to determine the best way to continue to tell their story as they navigate through this difficult time.” It would be assumed the current halt in production is due to the well-being of the children during a difficult and emotional moment for the family. The eight children do not need to have their pain broadcasted on television.
