Kate and Jon
It looks like the speculation is over. Jon and Kate are headed towards divorce. The world’s most famous Rice Daddy will soon be single. Supposedly there is going to be a big announcement tonight on the show. I would apologize for ruining the surprise, but I think everyone knows what is going down. It’s a sad end to a long saga.

I agree with everything you said. About #1…I think...
How will they handle the child custody? I can imagine it won’t be good for the kids however it plays out. I hope it doesn’t traumatize them too much, but I can see how it could lead to serious dysfunction for the children as they grow up.
I wonder what part reality TV had in bringing about their divorce. I think they should have kicked the cameras out sooner, and maybe it wouldn’t have turned out like this.
The tabloid media was all over this story like flies on cow dung. It was kind of disgusting.
So the episode apparently aired, and they did indeed announce their divorce. CNN has it here:

They’re going to keep the kids in the house, and the parents are going to be the ones shuttling back and forth between residences. What I don’t understand is that they say the show will go on. I don’t think it can. It’s just not the same with a broken family, even if it’s the truth. The audience won’t stay.

Man, it’s just breaks my heart to see those beautiful kids in this situation. Jon and Kate are beautiful too. They’ve filed the divorce papers, but maybe they can make this work out after they separate. It seems like such a shame to dissolve such a great family that was once so happy.
Seriously, do you think Jon will get alimony? I guess even on a genetic level they were separated, look at cell splits that created the twins’, super nanny support staff? prenuptials?
Larry,
You’re not going to believe this… I couldn’t agree with you more!
Man, talk about throwing a broth-uh under the bus:

“”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,” she said in a statement released by TLC on Tuesday.”
Now it’s officially only “Kate Plus 8.”

Good work, Jon.
Did you see/read Kate’s book, “Multiple Bles8ings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets?” It is such crap. I have to admit, I only perused through it in a Walmart last Winter and thought, what a bunch of BS. I am sure there was someone who helped kate conjugate sentances. She made it all seem glorious thanks to their Christian values. If you need to barf and hate sticking a toothbrush down the back of your throat, this one will get you going.
I am surprised Jon is letting the kids continue with the show. He said the cameras go off when the kids are done. I recall at least one of the kids expressing her dislike of the cameras.
Kate is really, really mean. That much I’ve gathered from all this. She seems to be in it just for the money, and the public was starting to see it. Jon could’ve just stood back and let her implode. That would’ve been the smart thing to do.
I think Jon just acted like a bonehead. He was destroying Kate in media relations, then all of a sudden he started doing all sorts of bizarre things with all those women. He brought himself down.
