Jon & Kate Plus 8: Let The Denial Begin
Like we didn’t know that Jon Gosselin would deny all of the allegations against him. Hello, what man ever confesses the truth right off the bat? Jon is going to eventually. He just have to wait for the mountains of evidence to pile up or for Kate to beat it out of him. We know how much she likes to smack him around.
For now Jon is saying it’s all a lie…..
“These allegations are false and just plain hurtful,” Gosselin says in a statement exclusively to PEOPLE. “As I adjust to the attention that comes from being in the public eye, I need to be more careful and aware of who I am associating with and where I am spending my time. But the bottom line is, I did not cheat on Kate. I am sorry for putting my family in this awkward position, given some poor decisions and bad judgments I’ve made recently.”
Hmmm, yeah. They were definitely poor. Deanna Hummel is going along with the denial plan as well.
“My brother is making this all up,” she says. “I can’t even stomach the lies he’s saying about me.”
Kate isn’t revealing much. She is I am sure extremely humiliated and wants to keep this all behind closed doors. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works in showbiz.
“I’m very hesitant to believe any of it. It goes with the territory,” Kate told “Today” co-host Meredith Vieira.
“We’re dealing with it privately,” she explained. “There are those things we keep to ourselves, and we’re working through it together.”
“Our kids are centrally in our focus, they always have been. They are very much loved, very well cared for…that will be how it’s going to be.”
“No tabloid [stories] specifically. I don’t know that we’re going to sit down and give [it credibility.] We won’t sit there and weigh it out there,” she said. “You’ll see what we feel is healthy and comfortable and safe from our children’s perspective.”
It is a very sad situation for the kids. The twins are definitely old enough to know all about this stuff. It’s gonna be a long, hard road for them.
We will continue to watch and wait. Will the divorce call drop or will they just live in separate rooms in their HUGE home, for the kids?

Yes, Kate has been tough on Jon in some of the series. He has acted in a very relaxed manner in a stressful situation and that worked for him. It did not always work for Kate. Her personality required structure/orgainzation. I defend her behavior and I understand his. Had they not had a successful TV show their marriage may have continued. It would have gone on with its flaws because there would not have been enough money to support separate households and lifestyles.
Kate’s position today reminds me of a quote from the movie “What Women Want” where the main character, Nick, tells the leading lady that “the price she had to pay for being herself was that her husband made her feel she did not deserve to be loved”. Does Kate feel this way, does she realize it yet?
Jon is a great guy, he is not a leader. This realization, perhaps he only internalizes it, has caused him to look for a cool guy leader role. He is flexing what he feels is left of his identity.
It’s to bad if they don’t make it and not for the sake of the kids. The kids will be fine.
Jon and Kate were a pretty typical couple with todays couple identity concerns. I hope this works out better than we expect it to.
