Jon and Kate Plus Eight Gets Nasty: Aunt Jodi Tells Her Side
August 23rd, 2008 by Evil BeetYou guys may or may not have noticed, but a certain page of this blog has, in the past months, somehow become a de facto discussion board for Jon & Kate Plus 8 fans (and critics). If you don’t believe me, click here and read the comments.
A popular point of discussion over there is a blog called Truth Breeds Hatred, which is supposedly written by the sister of Aunt Jodi, who is married to Kate Gosselin’s brother. If you watch the show, you know that Aunt Jodi was very involved in the first seasons of the show, basically bending over backwards to accommodate Kate’s every babysitting need — sometimes watching all eight of the Gosselin kids, overnight, in addition to her own four children. For free! And then when she didn’t show up in the most recent season, people started suggesting that Kate was bitter because Jodi’s patient and kind mothering skills were making Kate look awful in comparison, and also noting that the producers offered to pay Jodi for appearing on the current season — she had been doing all of this shit for free up until then — but that Kate put her foot down, said “no one gets paid for this show except our family” and booted Aunt Jodi out of the kids’ lives.
The Truth Breeds Hatred blog discusses all this from an insider’s perspective — confirming the rumors and basically painting Kate as the most horrid, despicable, selfish person on the planet. But was the blog really written by Jodi’s sister? Were the things she said about Kate actually true?
Today, Truth Breeds Hatred ran a video clip of Jodi, who seems genuinely crushed by how Kate betrayed her, and confirming that her sister does write the blog, and that it’s the truth.
I kind of hate how fascinated I am to watch all this play out, but I really do love it.

Do these kids have grandparents? Anyone know.?Where are they G.P. from?
Kate doesn’t speak to her parents and Jon’s father passed away. His mother is still alive but I’m not sure how often she sees the kids.
Aren’t we tired of this yet ? They are off the air and are old news. I wish only the best for Kate and her kids, and I hope everyone else feels the same. Jon can go to HADES,and take his morals with him.
The ones who are tired of it can change the channel. If you’re tired of the blog you can get creative and find another one to bitch on. Let’s see, you wish the best for Kate and her kids but Jon can go to HADES. I’ll take a wild guess and say you’re Christian. Take a deep breath and go pray about it.
rachel, I was on aol.com news and they said Kate has a job on the view for guest hosting . you should see the comments about her. woow!
Thanks Julie, I just read it. I can’t see how this is going to help the View. I heard that the ratings aren’t good now.
Did you also see that Jon will let TLC film his kids if the lawsuit is dropped. I think the money is running low for both Jon and Kate. They are bound to do anything. Have you heard if she still has her bodyguard??
right , if he cant work because of them he cant make money. catch 22. Youre right Ihavent see any “body guard”.
Maybe the bodyguard’s wife got a clue.
rachel go to radar.com there is a picture of Kate in New York I think with her hairdresser but Im not sure, but I have to say that long hair doesnt look good on her … she looks bad……and her outfit .. well ;( blahhH!
OMG, Julie. She looks like a stoned hooker. What kind of an outfit is that for the winter? Since when do you wear stappy sandles when the temperature is in the 20’s? She still has no clue of fashion. And no Big Daddy I’m not jealous, just stating a fact. I look better than her anyway.(haha)
rachel , she chopped them off! ……….. 7,000 dollars!
go to Us.com she made sort of a bob?
That’s cut?? I didn’t even realize it. Her hair now looks like the mop I used to wash my floor. See she has no value of the dollar.
rachellllllllllllllllll Kate has a new book out! hahhahaha check People.!
OMG! She can write all the lovey sweety stuff in this book but she is forgetting one thing. EVERYTHING IS ON TAPE. In time those kids will go back and watch those tapes and will agree that their mother is a BITCH!!!!!
