Wow, there are strong words coming from Jon Gosselin.  He is coming out firing at his soon to be ex-wife, Kate Gosselin during his interview on ABC News.

“I can’t sit on the sofa with that woman,” he says in the interview, which was posted online Tuesday. “I can’t sit on someone right now that I despise.”

“I despise [her] because she’s not speaking from the heart. Please — the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV.”

So why does Kate still wear her ring and Jon doesn’t?

“I think she still wears the ring for public perception. I don’t wear my ring because she took my ring. I don’t have it.”

“I don’t have the ring,” he continues. “I laid it down one night. It was gone. Who else would take it? I checked all the — underneath my kids’ pillows. That’s where everything ends up in the house anyway. So it wasn’t there.”

Jon still feels that Kate was having an affair with her bodyguard, and I can’t say that I blame him.  It certainly looked that way to the rest of the world….

“I speculate, but I don’t know — that’s a general feel. You know, almost like when they were traveling together, I felt jealous,” he said. “Here, I’m Mr. Mom. And then there’s some other guy traveling with my wife. Whether it’s protection or not, it’s all in — it’s in the back of my mind.”

Jon has certainly moved on with his life and he didn’t waste any time finding his “soul mate”.

“I get encouragement from her, I get respect from her. Two things that a man needs,” he says. “This is someone, I mean, like soul mate — like people joke about that. But I’m not joking about that.”

I do understand Jon wanting and needing respect.  Ever guy does need that.  Kate totally disrespected him for years.  BUT, Jon has totally turned around and disrespected Kate in return, very shamefully.  This has affected the kids way more than what Kate did.  He put up with it for all that time. He didn’t man-up.  That was his fault for letting it go that far for that long.  Had Jon said something, had they gone to counseling years ago, they could be happily married right now, raising those beautiful kids together.

Such a sad story.
