Julie Gosselin who is Kate’s sister-in-law from TLC’s hit show Jon And Kate Plus 8 wrote a blog post where she blasted her entire family and their show.She said:

“Since TLC is airing the old episodes, I thought I shed some light on how the show works. We’ve discussed this before, but it’s buried somewhere in the archived posts.
When the show first started, Kate made a wishlist of things that she wanted, and that became the theme of each episode–the carpet, twin’s room, bunk beds, cow, hairplugs, teeth whitening, trips, etc. EVERYTHING that you see them do or buy is completely paid for out of the budget for the show or traded for free advertising. Kate went on and on about saving up for special days, you saw her paying for things, she talked about budgeting, etc. It is all for the appearance that they are a struggling family with 8 children. They needed to be relatable. They didn’t pay for any of it.
The episodes are also staged. Here’s how it works…there is a staff of people reading these blogs and they base the shows around what people are talking about. I haven’t watched many episodes, but I do know some of the behind the scenes events.
The Christmas episode from 2007. Producers told Kate that the viewers wanted to see her show appreciation to their helpers. They told her what the episode was going to be. I think they baked cookies and then went caroling (of course this was probably one of their many ‘traditions”–those are all fake too). Kate threw a fit. She didn’t want to do it, but she did…because they were trying to pacify the viewers.
Another example is the ‘Games Gosselins Play’ (I think that might have been the same episode as their ‘mission statement’). I actually did watch this one. This was around the time that I started reading discussion boards and finding out that there were many people opposed to the show. It was so obvious that the mission statement was addressing all of the concerns that I had been reading online. The game time was just ridiculous. After the episode, I called Jodi and said, ‘what was that?.’ She hadn’t watched it, so I explained that it came across so fake (at least to me). Jodi was with Kate when she got “the call” about the theme for that episode. Kate said something like, ’so now I have to pretend that I play with my kids.’ They also wanted her to pay special attention to the boys.
Don’t believe everything you see. The children are also being prompted to say or do certain things. They signed their lives away to TLC and they will continue to spin the show to keep the viewer’s interest. I don’t believe this show will go away until the viewers decide that they don’t want to be played anymore.
Of course, you’ve all figured out that they are showing Kate cook/bake to promote her upcoming cookbook. The show has now turned into a show about a family with a reality show–move to a mansion, cross-over shows, book tour, talk shows…
I’ve only watch a handful of episodes. I haven’t even seen all of the episodes that Jodi has been in. I made a personal decision long ago to do what I can to give those children the privacy and respect that they deserve. I refuse to watch and participate in something that I feel so strongly against.
Please don’t watch on Monday. You’re not going to learn anything new by watching. They will only show what they think people want to see and it isn’t real anyway. They will probably drag this out (J&K’s ‘relationship’) for the entire season. They just string the viewers along hoping that they will come back for more.”
That’s all we have for now on Julie Gosselin Blog.

Julie, you really need to get over yourself. This show isn’t about you, it is about Jon and Kate. What they decided to do with their lives really should not be a concern of yours. Get our own life and don’t be so jealous of Kate. It isn’t becoming of you.

There are things in life that are important, family is one of them. The money you are getting paid to run your mouths about family ,isit worth how absolutely stupid you both look and sound. Since they moved away hs jealosy set in, or has the economy grabbed hold of you. Yopu both should be ashamed of your self,you come off as petty and ridiculose.I hope that in the end that everything works out for them, and you both are taught a lesson on how important family is.Karma is truly a bitch.

To Christina Smith: Learn how to spell, you dumb bimbo.
And to Julie, how many kids do you have? You obviously do not understand the amount of money it takes to raise 8 children. Obviously Kate has taken this into account and wants to make sure she can live a comfortable life with her children and let them study at whichever university they’d like to go to insetad of limiting them to cheaper in-state colleges.
Don’t be stupid, please.

oh this is sad. I remember reading somewhere that kate said socity should pay for the raising of her children….HELLO…we are not responsible for raising her kids. she and jon had them they need to raise them. her parents tried to help but kate didn’t want anythin used. everything had to be matchy matchy and new. i say take what is offered and be thankful for it. its horrible that her parents and the children don’t see each other. kate you are a very mean,selfish woman. now that you will be free so to speak what man in his right mind wants a woman with 8 kids!! you got it….the money and only the money. you will be used and not loved. lets hope you don’t have men going in and out of your bed as your children will pick up on that all to soon. never should have done the show. but it pobably would have the same ending as there wouldn’t have been any money to raise these 8 kids. money is the root of all evil. if you have too much it will tear you apart same goes if you don’t have enough to make ends meet. all this crap about god will help you…thats bull shit. god does not have a bank account to help people put food on the table and a roof over their heads. If there is a god why does he take childre that are raped and murdered..why doesn’t he take the person that did the crime. has anyone ever seen god?? no pictures of him….guess everyone need some bull shit in there life. if man can go to space why can’t they find heaven…ther is no heaven as there is no hell. you die and your six feet under and that is where you stay. if you have a soul…why does it not show up on an XRay! it is nothing but garbage and to think people pay to believe in this crap….brainwashing is all it is. people with half a brain don’t by this trash! they need to work things out together and leave god out of it. i have never seen god help anyone!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I were not on the brink of divorce… but I was having some thoughts of not wanting to be married… and was upset over some lil things here and there,… We watched FIREPROOF the movie… and then did the LOVE DARE book. I know that Jon and Kate are both believers in CHRIST… and I would strongly suggest watching the movie and getting the book before making a MAJOR LIFE CHANGE by divorce… I have been praying for them…

This made a major impact on my life and my marriage,… Wishing the best for your family…

I WAS a long time watcher of Jon and Kate. Love those kids! I am no longer a watcher of the show. If I hear one more time that they are doing this for the kids I am going to SCREAM! If they really wanted to help their kids they would leave the show and focus on the family that was once there. They have enough money – now they are just milking it for everything it is worth. It was very sad to watch the last few shows. I feel that Jon is getting off easy – like a big weight is being lifted off of his shoulders and now he can live his life and not have to deal with the kids 24/7. He said in the last show, twice, that he is only 33 years old. Well instead of partying it up suck it up, deal with the problem off camera. If he is there for his kids why does his time with them have to be part of the show?! Give the kids a break. Turn the camers off and get your family back together!

It is hard to know whether or not to believe you. It is amazing what people will say when they are offered enough money. If you don’t want people to watch the show why do you add fuel to the fire? In my opinion you are guilty of using the children for YOUR personal gain!!! If you are so concerned, pray for the children, and for God to give Jon and Kate wisdom to make the right choices for their family.

My goodness susan you went form speaking about society to God, the whole time I thought you were going to get somewhere but nothing you said made any sense. Poor you!!!! If you want to blog about God….FIND A BLOG ABOUT GOD. Get a hold of yourself, you obviously bottle up your feelings for whatever reason and found someone’s blog about her sister in law and found a place to spill your anger against. I feel so sorry for you. You make me laugh….. In regards to the show.. Kate is smart if she is able to manipulate a show in her favor and make money while doing so. I watch it cus the kids are too cute. AND THAT’S REAL. Anyways susan if you truly believe life does not go on then for Pete’s sake don’t spend it being so negative!!!!! Go find something positive to do and spend your final years being happy.

I want jon and Kate to know that I have seen every show, and feel like they are my extended family. Kate hurt Jon’s feelings calling him a lam fish, and acting like she was the bread winner. That is why he went out and found so many girlfriends. He just wanted to get even with her for the insults. Now, they have both been apart long enough to miss each other. They need each other too. I pray that they will get back together for a big Christmas surprise for the kids !!! They can talk it all out, and maybe take a private trip, and work things out. PLEASE go back together. Enjoy your health, your money, your big house, your kids, and then call TLC back and make millions of more dollars$$$$. Where else will you ever have a chance to make that kind of money, and still be at home with your kids, at the same time???? Think about it. What you are doing now isn’t working! Try this! Get together for the holidays. Help eachothe cook in that new kitchen. Have the kids decorate the yard and house. It will be the best thing in the world you can ever do for the kids. It can be the most and best decision in your lives. Step back, talk about how you 2 met in the park that day. Look at some of the shows when you were all happy! It can be like that again. PLEASE give it a try. Then after the holidays call TLC and get those camera rolling while the kids are still cute and happy. Your entire life will be filled with trips, new sights to see, and all together as a family. NOW THAT IS WHAT THOSE KIDS WILL REMEMBER!!!!!! Go back together! Be a family! Call TLC, and let your so called friends and your so jealous brother Kevin and his ugly wife Jody can ‘eat their hearts out’!

Im tired of hearing about it. For those of you that have diluted yourselves into this cult I pitty you. Think for a minute, this is TV – its a response thats scripted, rehearsed and screened by a room full of writers and advertisment people. The kids have been turned into a busisness – a bad one at best. If you ask me the network needs to be sued by child welfare for the permenant damage they have caused them. So what if they have 8 kids, go back 40 years and you will see this was no signifigent feat. My dad had 15 brothers and sisters and they were conceived the old fashoned way, one at a time. There was no TV cameras to record the event, only my grandfather working his fingers to the bone to put food on the table. Bottom line is Jon & Kate are milking this for all its worth before the sponsors pull out . Now that they are divorced, I would recommend Jon get out of this country. As far away from this attention seeking hog of a woman as he can get and try to improve his image by getting a Vasectomy and doing some public speaking on the dangers of the media in a home and how it can help to destroy the lives of children.
