In a new post up this morning on RadarOnline, Hailey Glassman blogs unedited about her relationship with Jon Gosselin. Hailey reveals that last December Jon asked her to sign a non- disclosure agreement:
He then asked me to sign a “Non-disclosure” agreement in December and said, “I’ll ruin you if you don’t.” Another threat… numerous threats made to me by him. He has made them not only to me but to his ex-wife as well. There’s proof of it all. You just say I learned a lot through all of this.
She also gives kudos to Kate Gosselin on her parenting skills:
I also want to add that there is a lot of hate towards Kate about her as a mother. I want to set the record straight by saying Kate is a great mother. She is a semi-single parent, which is truly hard with eight kids! Like I have said numerous times before, she gives those children structure and surrounds them in a stable, grounded environment, which is a necessity when growing up. She works extremely hard to support those kids and the lives they are accustomed to living.
And she reveals what really happened with Maddy’s arm:
The situation with Mady and her arm is she hurt it playing outside or something and Jon looked at that as the perfect opportunity to try and frame/extort Kate to get money. EVIL soulless human being! I feared him, to be honest.
All I have to say is you have no idea what went on behind the scenes!
I kept it all private

I have more questions than opinions at this point. The biggest question being — why is Hailey dredging this up again at this point in time?
Hailey tweeted yesterday that she has a new job. I hope writing this book is not what she considers her “new job.”
Some of what she has to say about Jon threatening her does sound familiar, doesn’t it? I believe others – Stephanie Santoro, etc. said the same thing. Not that it proves anything. It does appear that when a girl ends a relationship with Jon she is pretty angry and bitter. I think Jon should ask himself why that is?
I agree with what Hailey has to say about Kate though.
I do think Hailey is all about getting back her $200k, & now Jon Gosselin’s many warnings have come to a screaming halt! Hailey’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, has more than likely felt that this is about the only avenue left to Hailey. (To take Jon to court would cost HER as much as she is trying to recover!) One can only imagine if a former defense lawyer of Jon’s had to attach his unpaid bill to the final divorce settlement…Hailey Glassman was still in the tank as Jon’s soul mate. Never believing he’d scam her as well.
I don’t think anyone deserves to lose $200k as one of life’s hard lessons. Of course it bothers me that Kate & the children will undoubtedly hear all of this, but this is WHAT JON DID to another human being…& what he tried to do to Kate, & his own flesh & blood…his children! I hope Hailey does bank her $200k. In today’s tell-all world, her words will outsell anything Jon is putting into print! What you reap is what you sow………….
She really needs to get an editor. The “unedited” version is written horribly.
Once again, I support none of this tabloid tell-all. Hailey changed her claim about the amount of money he owes her, so that $200K figure is suspect. Maybe Jon thinks Hailey owes him a little money, or maybe she owes him his notes about his divorce. Maybe Jon thinks the divorce notes are worth $200K? She’s obviously been able to sell them for something. My point is, who knows? This woman has a fuzzy moral code. I certainly don’t hate her. I just don’t believe her. I think some of what she says is the truth, some is lies or exaggerations, and there is no way for me to know which is which.
Congratulations to her on the new job. That’s quite an accomplishment in today’s economy.
Ann, she did change the amount…from $220k to $200k. She’d angrily added to the original amount saying he should pay his parents for their room & board…plus the outstanding money that Heller was holding from her ET gig.
My memory of her lawyer speaking up about the NY apt. break in, plus Hailey being visually upset about the money transfer in a cashiers check to satisfy that PA court deadline could have easily been nipped in the bud by Jon. It never was.
IF any of this is true…Jon climbed into the proverbial sewer & while I’d not expect Hailey to do anything but drag Jon thru it as only she can…for whatever it’s worth, TLC thought Hailey’s testimony passed their smell test.
I am so upset to see what Jon has and is still doing to his family, but maybe now the public will finally understand what Jon can do to a person. I for one, would tell all, show all, and let it fall where it may. H parents took him in when he had no where to go, not even a family member of his took him in when he needed help. She needs to get her money back, and yesterday Jon spents his time again on twitter calling her a liar. Are all the ex gf’s liar’s? I don’t think so.
Jon has finally hit the bottom and no one will ever believe anything he has to say. TLC should never have to have anything to do with him again. Jon blackmailed them also, and they fell for it. I know Kate needed the cs, but at what price is TLC willing to pay for Jon’s failures again.
So sorry to Kate and her children, family and friends today. This will pass. but the damage will linger on for all of you. Hold your heads high, there are many who love Kate and her children from a distance.
I think the thing that bothers me the most is someday the Gosselin children will read Hailey’s book. If for no other reason can’t she keep her mouth shut for their sakes? In my opinion the ONLY victims in this whole fiasco are the children. Everyone else pretty much brought this upon themselves. It’s like a snowball rolling down a hill and someday it’s going to land right at the children’s doorstep.
If anyone should of thought about the children first, it should of been Jon!
He should of never been at bars hanging on college girls or picking up teachers to hook up with.
Jon started this media circus his family has to endure .
J&K were just a popular reality show about a sweet family, then the paparazzi got involved.
We all know this, but I am tired of Kate being blamed for the paparazzi, they would of never been interested in them if it wasn’t for Jon’s cheating.
The same way Jon lied to the public about his numerous affairs he lied to Hailey about Kate Major and Stephanie Santoro .
Jon has lied so often and never faced consequence’s other then when he had to put that money back in the account. Even then Kate got hell for speaking up about it.
Again It’s not fair that Kate and the kids have to be hurt again by Jon’s actions, but IMO Hailey has every right to finally speak up about the REAL Jon.
Tanny, I could not agree w. you more. All of this will come down on the 8…& I for one do not doubt that Jon Gosselin was banking on that very fact. He is hiding behind his children’s unquestioned love… who will have more than just a Glassman tell-all to face.
I’m upsetting myself just thinking Hailey has the right to do this…yet this is what JON GOSSELIN did to his very own children. How can a father sell his rebirth of a tattoo to Radar; go to a known life coach; believe he can write a book about the lessons he’s learned…in less than a year of proclaiming his undying love for one 23 yr. old Hailey Glassman?
Don’t forget. Jon lists his business as: celebrity. I suppose this is celebrity justice??? SAD!
Hailey said Jon owed her $90K December 2009. I’m just pointing out another much lower figure. As I said, it makes her $200K figure suspect to me. Maybe the link is inaccurate. Like I said, who knows?
http://www.celebitchy.com/85508/jon_gosselin_still_owes_hailey_glassman_90000_he_borrowed_from_her/
I agree (again!) with Tanny about this being hard on the kids. I think it’s hard on Kate too.
I don’t think Hailey has a right (except a legal right) to say anything about Jon if it hurts the kids. She was his mistress. It’s bad enough she was as involved as she was before the divorce. Hailey learned a few lessons many foolish women have learned. Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas. You can’t trust a cheater. Don’t loan money to a man who steals it from his family’s household account. There is one moral way to recover the money from Jon. Only one, IMO. Sue him. It’s not like she doesn’t live in a nation of laws. She should make use of them.
I agree too that this has to be hard on Kate. If you put yourself out there though all kinds of things are going to come out of the woodwork. It happens to all people in the public eye, politicians, celebrities, etc. Stuff came out about Oprah’s mother and father. Stuff came about about Presidents brothers and mothers. Stuff came about about celebrities exes. It’s all part of it unfortunately. If they want the good parts of being in the public eye the bad is to be expected. Kate can’t control Jon’s behavior anymore than Oprah can make her mother pay her outrageous clothing bills. It’s just the innocent victims (the kids) that I feel so sorry for. I’m sorry I just don’t agree Hailey should write this book. I’m certainly not trying to protect Jon, it’s the kids…..
I think she tried to get Jon to pay her numerous times, but how can she sue him when he isn’t working ?
It infuriates me that the children and Kate are the ones being hurt over this, while Jon is hiding out in his apartment tweeting and denying he did anything wrong once again.
Jon owes Hailey this Money he knows it and he should of manned up and paid her a long time ago.
The things Hailey is accusing Jon of are horrific and very sad for all involved, the kids will always suffer knowing they have a father who would do such a thing to their mother. Kate is suffering like she always does when it comes to Jon. And I bet Hailey is hurting for having to go public with this, she is getting her share of hate for it as well.
I just hope that by Hailey putting this out there, that Jon is held responsible for his behavior and Lies.
It is continually confounding to me how people focus on the money and seem disregard the fact that Jon set Hailey up for the break-in. He apparently was willing to let a young girl who stood behind him blindly, the daughter of a family who took him in lock, stock and barrel, go to prison when she was innocent. Do I think Hailey a saint? By no means.
What Hailey speaks about is what took place in HER life. She has the right to try to set the record straight regarding herself. It is not Hailey’s responsibility to protect Jon’s children, but she is expected to do so at her own expense.
Expecting everyone whose been burned by Jon to keep quiet to protect his children is taking away their right to defend themselves, to tell about their life, to tell theirs side of the story and to cover up for Jon. Jon counts on people not speaking for the sake of his children.
To go on that theory, then NONE of us should ever say ONE word against Jon on ANY public forum. We feel we have the freedom to express negative views about what Jon has done when none of us has ever been involved in his life, yet condemn someone who was involved in his life and who was burned badly by him and whose life could have been ruined by him.
It deeply hurts my heart if the children are ever hurt by any of this, but Jon is the one who brought this to the public forum without regard for his children yet others who were burned by him are expected keep quiet & are condemned when they try to tell their side and defend themselves.
ITA Ziggy !!
Ann, you are right. Hailey should sue Jon. She’s been more than tiresome about her public threats, but what none of know is what would be involved in getting what’s due her when it is quite obvious Jon has NO JOB. If Twittering for dollars is a job…why are American’s standing in unemployment lines?
Seriously, I do think Hailey’s lawyer would be in line IF she thought for one NY min. that such a suit would be something Hailey could afford. I have no idea what such a suit would cost in NYC…& I’m not sure just how Hailey could get Jon to show up. The last I heard Hailey threaten Jon was when he was in CA w. Morgan. She said that he had no known address…speed forward a couple of months & even Kate’s lawyer said Jon had no address…he was using his lawyer’s office address.
It’s a mess! Yes, I agree Hailey was Jon’s mistress/soul mate, yet the burden should NOT just fall on Hailey. Where is Jon Gosselin’s responsibility begin & end? One could easily say Hailey is ‘blackmailing Jon’ IF he is an innocent just trying to protect his children….?
I don’t think anyone should protect Jon’s children at her own expense unless she is guilty of having participated in hurting them already. Hailey, by carrying on in public with Kate’s husband and the children’s father last year, added to all the hoopla that still follows those kids in the form of Chris the paparazzi. Jon’s indiscretions brought the paparazzi around those children, not that little show. I have no sympathy for the women who carried on with him then. I’m not defending or excusing Jon. I’m just saying, Hailey should shut up, move on, or sue. In 2009 she didn’t think of the kids. In 2010 she should.
Why wasn’t Jon arrested for setting up that break-in at the NYC apartment? Didn’t he file a false report with the police?
Jon Gosselin was a millionaire when Hailey Glassman’s parents offered him a home and he found his soul-mate. He had somewhere else to go. There’s a hotel in Wernersville within a few miles of his children’s home.
If she doesn’t think it would be worth it to sue Jon for her money, then I think Hailey should just move on with her life. Thank her lucky stars that she’s not tied to Jon for life the way Kate is, due to the kids. I can understand her wanting to get back at him for what he did to her, but I don’t think she’ll get what she’s looking for. Besides, I think he’ll bring himself down, he doesn’t need anybody’s help. They say living well is the best revenge, so she should just make herself a nice life and reduce him to a small blip in her past.
I don’t understand why Hailey has to wait until Jon has a job in order to sue him. Does a judgment expire? Surely, they last awhile. NTM, he apparently has/had income from TLC under his contract w/them. Even w/o an address, he could have been served by now. It would be nice if Hailey took Jon’s children into consideration. However, I don’t believe it’s her place to protect them. That was Jon’s place and he failed. He wasn’t thinking of his family at all. Jon got involved w/Hailey knowing she was young, wild and tacky. He also wasn’t thinking of his children when he tried to set her up for a break-in to his apt. I do believe he owes her some sum of money. Hailey became involved w/Jon, a father who was married. But, I feel for her for being stupid enough to give her money away. I’d like to ask her what Jon was doing w/all this money. I remember wondering that several times early on.
I agree w/those of you who said Kate is handling this w/class. All the stuff Jon keeps going has to be wearing on her. I’m glad she’s having the fun of the trips and her appearance at the Emmy’s. She needs some sort of stress reliever.
Hailey should shut up, move on, or sue. In 2009 she didn’t think of the kids. In 2010 she should.~Ann
I agree. I think this is Jon’s failing, but this would be the right thing for her to do. I agree Kiki, w/everything you said.
I’m by far no legal expert, but it is my understanding that if one is awarded a judgement against someone, it is up to them to collect. And if they fail to make efforts to collection then they can loose their ability to collect. I may be completely wrong in that understanding, but that is what I go by until someone shows otherwise. It costs money to collect. And if one has to keep going after someone, that can run into far more than the cost of what they were awarded in the first place. Therefore, suing someone who has no money, and who will likely never have an significant money, just doen’t make it worth it for the person the money it owed to.
If it were me, and I felt there was the possibility that the person who owed money to me might have a grreater income at a later date, I would wait as long as I could within the statue of limitations.
We don’t know what Jon told the Glassman family at that point when they took him in. He could’ve told them he was too emotionally distressed to be in a hotel alone, he could have told them he couldnt get his hands on any fluid money, it could’ve been any number of things. They could’ve taken him in hoping if they coddled him he would be Hailey’s claim to fame & they got what they deserved. There is too much not known, for me, in that as of yet to condemn them.
It has always bothered me that Jon didn’t have charges filed against him for making a false police report. But that shouldn’t fall on Hailey as Hailey was cleared of all suspicion. That should fall upon the NYPD as to why they didn’t file charges against Jon for the false charges.
ann,== Jon wanted and said he had to move to NY for his new work in the TV business when he begged H’s parents to take him in. He had spent lots of money before he even moved there, so maybe Jon didn’t have much to go on. He was throwing parties at the bars when Kate was traveling (college girls), moved on to the teacher, the nanny and who knows what else. He knew he could not rob the money from the accts then, so he promised H he would repay her when things were settled.
This is sorely on Jon’s shoulders, Hailey is doing what she needs to do, whether anyone agree’s or not. She is entitled in America to say what she needs to say, and Jon should have taken care of this a long time ago. How many of us who are older would sit back and let someone just take a large amount of money from us. None of us!!
This is not going to hurt the kids anymore than than Jon has hurt them before. In their world, maybe this is becoming the norm for them. How sad is that?? Jon seems to have the power over people to get away with everything, until now. I don’t think any of us have seen the end of this story yet.
What happened to Twist of Kate. Is it going to be on soon???
We can all sit passive and always wait for the right time to do things, but life moves on and this chapter with Haiely will hopefully be over soon.
In defense of suing Jon for the money he owes her, I agree with Ziggy that its become more then just about the money now, Jon just didn’t take Hailey’s money he tried to destroy her.
Doesn’t that sound familiar?
If anyone read Jon’s life coach Sylvia’s description of their upcoming book, Jon was going to include his childhood and his two relationships after his break up with Kate, so I’m assuming that one of those relationships was Hailey?
Jon intended or already wrote a segment about her?
We all know Hailey was wrong on many levels when she hooked up with Jon, she knew it then and knows it now even more so.
I just think its about time Jon is faced and punished for what hes done,
but there is also a old saying that you cant get blood from a turnip.
I’m not saying Hailey didn’t know it was wrong when she started dating Jon, of course she did and for that there is no excuse. But neither is that reason enough to not have some compassion for what Jon tried to do to her. Any of the girlfriends beyond Hailey had a record of Jon’s behavior to go on, Hailey didn’t.
We dont’ know what Jon told the Glassman’s. He could’ve told them Kate hated her surgery, was unappreciative, etc. etc. Isn’t that the things Jon told the public about Kate regarding the donations of the baby beds & other baby items. And he told that to the public while he and Kate were still supposed to be happily married. Therefore, I don’t think it’s too far a stretch to think Jon might have told the Glassman’s such stories to gain their sympathy, as well.
Please understand, I’m not arguing, I’m trying to explain why I feel the way I do.
Kiki post #17 – well said. Thanks. Agreeing with you is about all I can manage at this late hour, but everyone’s posts have me thinking and I will respond more later….
Kiki, NOT arguing, but asking – how will Jon bring himself down if everyone he’s burned keeps quiet?
I think Hailey has had plenty of time to say her peace and already said plenty. These accusations about Jon extorting money are involving Kate and the children. It is not her place to talk about Kate’s life. It’s one thing to exonerate herself or to go after Jon, but she shouldn’t be using this type of stuff.
Hailey had to have been the one who sold the videos of the two of them in the apartment in France. That was the her and Jon and he was disgusting. I don’t know how much more she has, but her time is up. She needs to sue or move on.
I don’t know what to think. I think, if all of this was true, Hailey should have come out with it a long time ago.
It’s sad, though, that I can believe it of Jon. Hailey doesn’t have much creditibility, but neither does Jon.
I do worry about the kids, but not specifically about what books they’ll be reading when they are older. They are living through this; I doubt they will read books about their family or that if they did said books would tell them anything they don’t already know.
Lily, I haven’t addressed this aspect of it as, frankly, I’m not really sure how I feel about this aspect of it. I swing back and forth and that is unusual for me. Usally I weight what I know and come to an opinion.
In one aspect, I agree she shouldn’t talk about or reveal anything which involves Kate’s life, but in another aspect, showing what he did to Kate that she witnessed and then showing what he did to her shows a pattern of behavior and not behavior which was only directed at herself, i.e. isolated behavior based on that person and their circumstances.
What a sad turn of events in Gosselin world.
Dear Mom of KT
At this moment I know Kate’s mom is reading these comments and of course being the wonderful mother that she is , she won’t add any fuel to the Internet frenzy. So God bless you and all your family during this trying time. Before we know it positive energy will surround your daughter and her children once again . I also hope your other daughter leg is doing better and your husband is on the mend.
I know I wrote on a earlier post that all of this is on Jon’s shoulders and only he has to own his actions and behavior and I still stand on that principle. When Jon went to his very 1st lawyer who was very competent in celebrity /sport contacts/divorce Jon chose not to listen the advise that was given to him. I have to laugh because one of the names on the list is money he has to give him( Charles) . If he had only listened to his first lawyer , Jon would not be in the position he has placed himself in. Why do I make this statement? At that point in time both Jon and Kate had become much more educated in what happens in the entertainment business and media exposure and laws on the aspect of this business. They formed a corporation to protect themselves and the children. Here is my point ……legal matters are very meticulous and wordy at times but I think Kate worked hard to understand and question all the legal mumbo jumbo and the consequences. Jon probably understood alot of it but kind passed this of on Kate since he trusted her judgement and knew she would make sure every sure every dot was crossed because the end they had 8 children to support and hopefully put thru college.
I know this has been wordy , and I am not by any means supporting Hailey’s behavior or her actions but Jon is not a victim in this …..confidentily agreements are standard in the celebrity world. So all I have to say is ………..Jon take a big boy pill and quit playing the victim.
Ziggy, I think he’ll bring himself down by continuing to do what he’s been doing . He’s been making bad choices, treating people badly, not taking responsibility for himself or his actions.
He’s going to face the consequences in his life, whether his actions are exposed to all of us or not.
(I know you’re not arguing Ziggy!)
I have sat her tonight reading what others have said, and I would like to add one more commet. Please, all of us say a prayer for Kate and her eight, her parents, extended family members and her friends. After the storm, hopefully the beautiful rainbows will come to this family.
Kike, Thanks for understanding I’m not arguing. I understand what you’re saying and I”ve got to give some thought to your view but I must say I don’t quite agree that he will suffer the consequences of his actions if his actions aren’t exposed. My point being if none of the ex girlfriends had never spoke out, all we would know is that he had a string of ex girlfriends. Yes, than in of itself would reflect badly being that he was still legally married through most of them and they were all in an exceptionally short period of time – but we wouldn’t know the pattern of how he treats them. A pattern of behavior which I don’t think arose only after his and Kate’s separation.
I’m curious why “we” need to know anything? I can see going to the authorities if Hailey thought what Jon did was so wrong or suing him for her money but by exposing him it’s being said ”we” need to know. “We” don’t need to know anything. From what I have observed in the celebrity world only the totally classless people go to the media and sling their mud. The classiest stars don’t comment on it. They work it out amongst themselves. Heather Mills went to the media with their most intimate stories. Paul kept his mouth shut. Tila Tequila ran to the media with trash about the Johnson heiress’s family after she died. They kept their mouth shut. Kate is doing the right thing by not going on talk shows to discuss this. She’s taking the high road. She’s acting more like the classy one. Only the people desperate for fame and money go to the media with their dirt. In my opinion “we” think “we” are entitled to a lot more information than “we” really are. They all need to work this out behind the scenes and consider the children. This should have started a long, long time ago. “We” know way too much already. IMO.
Dianne, I agree, Jon is not the victim here. No way.
Kiki, I agree that Jon has brought himself low. He lost his beautiful family, missed many weeks of the children’s lives chasing his youth last year. Hopefully he is committed to honoring the custody arrangements now that he lives nearby. One thing his increased time with the kids proves is that Kate always wanted him to be present to and be a dad for the kids. She had plenty of ammunition to keep him away with the stuff he pulled last year, but she has clearly NOT interfered with that.
Tanny, I agree that less is more when it comes to celebrity mudslinging. Kate should continue to take the high road, for the sake of her children.
Snickers, I join you in a prayer for the whole family. That has to be the one benefit to being related to a public personality and everyone knowing your business…you are named in prayer by more people! Ziggy, we love a good, strong, respectful opinion, even if we disagree on some of the points. Thank you!
I agree that the classiest keep their private lives private.
But clearly the public, including everyone who looks at a celebrity news site, reads and/or posts on a blog about said celeb is clearly not satisfied with just that. If they were, said sites wouldn’t be popular. This topic wouldn’t even be up.
Tthere is some value to the public about knowing certain things about a celebrity.
Example: what I know now about Mel Gibson, I will never watch any thing he has a hand in in any way ever again. Same with Jon.
To an extent, it bothers me that Jon is benefiting from the show and that I watch it benefits him, but this is a atypical circumstance. As long as his mug isn’t on the screen and Kate and the kids are getting the majority of the benefits of the show, I’ll watch. As well as there are benefits which Kate and the kids receive which Jon receives no benefit from at all, i.e. the trips.
I also agree that Jon is 99% responsible for the paps at Kate and the kids door. I say only 99% instead of 100% because even if he’d never courted the media at all, there would still be some pap around from time to time, that’s a given even with the most private of celebrities.
I have never disputed Jon’s hand in this.
I also think that 99% of the bad press Hailey has gotten was brought on by her own actions. She wanted the media attention and she got it. Now she claims the press misrepresented her, so lets hear how they did from her viewpoint. But what Hailey didn’t deserve is Jon trying to frame her & and she is being held accountable for a few things she isn’t responsible for. And that isn’t right.
Hailey made some valid points – she didn’t break up their marriage and she wasn’t Jon’s first known girlfriend. Both of which she is blamed for. Also, Hailey did break up with Jon, not the other way around. Nor, at this point, am I going to hold the Glassman’s ‘guilty of wrong doing’ for taking Jon in. Maybe they were trying to be kind to a friend, maybe they did so hoping to gain some benefit from it.
But I do agree that whatever Hailey reveals should not be anything which intrudes upon what Kate herself has chosen to keep private about her’s, Kate’s, and the children’s life. Beyond that, I still think Hailey has the right to speak about HER life, if she so chooses. If one isn’t interested, one doesn’t have to read it.
Regarding any documents she uses – I can’t really fault her for keeping records of what she could, if there was the issue of needing so for her own protection. Frankly, I think there was. But that said, I also think there was the desire to possibly have them to use for her benefit which has nothing to do with self-protection.
Any numbers which may be on any documents I don’t pay much attention to as if they are numbers Jon gave and unless there is evidence given with any numbers showing them as fact, I think that’s subjective on Jon’s part. If there are any evidence with any monetary amount to show said amount accurate, then those amounts shouldn’t be revealed.
What a great discussion! Just when you think you have this all figured out someone comes up with another great point! I’m so glad I found this site. I love it! Thanks for welcoming me in to join you! Have a great holiday weekend everyone! I’ll be spending it with my 2 granddaughters. It doesn’t get much better than that:)
Here is another difference , When Jon does something that gets in the news , people add Kate to their comments for example ~ I wish the Gosselins would fall off the planet (or something similar to that) ~ Why is Kate airing her dirty laundry ? ~It’s Kate’s fault Jon has to blackmail her for his money??? ETC.
For some reason?? Haters /disliker’s , always include Kate when it has to do with Jon ?
I don’t get it ? because you never see Jon blamed for anything Kate says or does? and Kate had NOTHING to do with Hailey coming out to ROL with this.
Kate is always being brought in or blamed for Jon’s behavior?? Even though they are Divorced. Why is Jon NEVER held responsible for his OWN behavior?
Jon is being quiet now?
I am very surprised hes not on every news program defending himself and calling Hailey a liar the way he accused Kate of lying when she spoke up about the money he took.
This is the first time Jon is not yapping about a accusation?? I bet his co author life coach book buddy has a lot to do with that.
We can make judgements about Hailey based on the info we have i.e. Hailey was a fool to give Jon the money, why doesn’t she just sue him or forget it, etc. then we don’t want to hear her explanations, she has no right? My opinion is if she is willing to tell her side of the story and one doesnt want to hear it, fine, don’t read it, but then don’t make judgements about her actions if you aren’t interested in hearing her whole story.
Isn’t that what the haters do with Kate, make judgments and disregard the reasons? Isn’t it?
Well, Ziggy, I have to say that I pretty much agree with your comment #36. We really have no way of knowing with these characters who did what to whom.
Ann, LOL, ain’t that the truth.
She’s making some pretty bold claims, I’d be interested to see if she can back them up -
but she better darned well not intrude on Kate’s or the kids privacy. But I don’t think it fair to assume she is going to do so. And as long as she doesn’t do that, then she has a right to write about her life with Jon & what she went through. I’ m sure it will sell more than Al’s book.
I look at it this way, either she reveals something worthwhile for understanding & improves her image, or she just spouts stuff to get her name out and just worsens her image by claiming something she wasn’t able to backup, as Jon has so often done.
I’d be willing to bet money that Lauren Glassman didn’t dream of what she was getting into when she asked her husband to give Kate a tummy tuck.

AMEN! I’ve been thinking the same thing!
Debbie, I had to laugh at your comment about Hailey’s mother. I have to admit that when I saw her during the episode of Kate’s tummy tuck…I thought, what a very odd woman to have wanted the cameras to follow her husband’s good deed, & then to follow it up with a spa & make over. When Hailey surfaced…the apple must not fall far from the tree.
Don’t misunderstand me. I have no doubt that Hailey’s mother must have a heart of gold, yet I do think this poor woman is uncommonly naive & obviously easily manipulated.
HB, I’m assuming that when she asked her husband to give Kate the tummy tuck that she wasn’t thinking that far ahead. I’m thinking she was just trying to help a young mom with the services her husband could offer and then it turned into another special. Of course I could be completely nieve on her intentions.
Naw Debbie…I am making something out of nothing! I feel for the Glassman family! Obviously, the Gosselin’s continued to keep in touch w. the Glassmans…& yes, who would ever believe this is what would happen because of one very heartfelt act of kindness! It does amaze me tho’ that such an affair between Jon & Hailey could ignite under their roof! (Amaze me? It disgusted me then, & it still does.)
I hear ya and completely agree. I’ll add revolting to the disgusting. :)
Oh boy…so sad to see that the drama just keeps on coming and yes, snickers, I certainly agree that we should be praying for Kate, the kids, her family and friends and…everyone involved.
Mom of KT, you have raised one very classy daughter (as I’m sure are all of the rest of your family too). She is such an inspiration to me and I know that you have got to be very proud. Thank you so much for adding me specifically to your prayer list. That absolutely means the world to me and touches my heart so deeply. I, too, have been praying specifically re: Clarissa’s pain as I can relate to bone pain all too well. Unfortunately, severe bone disease comes along with my liver disease so I completely understand how debilitating it can be….especially when your goal for the day is to get a lot accomplished and to be very active with your kids, but your body says “no”!
I’m also praying for your husband as well as Kate, your beautiful grandkids and everyone involved. Yes! You are CORRECT…PRAYER ABSOLUTELY CHANGES THINGS…Thank goodness we have hope and faith to lean on when everything else seems to be falling apart all around.
I hope that all of my amazing IW friends are having a wonderful holiday weekend. The weather is amazing here in North Texas…we have MUCH to be thankful for!
Blessings and love to you all!

i think hailey has the right to get her money back…IF she loaned it to jon and didn’t just give it to
him as her lover.
i also think that sometimes, though we have every right to do something, it doesn’t make it the right
thing to do.
just because hailey isn’t with jon now doesn’t mean she’s suddenly turned into a saint. i think
she’s doing this for the media attention, just as she did the ultimate fighting stuff etc, and not
out of any sense of duty.
As long as Hailey doesn’t intrude on what Kate has chosen to keep private, I don’t see anyting wrong with Hailey telling of her experience with Jon.
Of course she didn’t suddenly turn into a saint, but maybe she learned some valuable lesssons. And of course she wants the publicity. Everyone was willing to give Ellen every benefit of the doubt even though she was with Jon even when she had a history of Jon to refer back to. Hailey had no Jon history to refer back to. People gave Ellen a chance and she quickly showned herself for what she was.
She’s made some strong accusations and said she can back them up. Ok, do it. She never infered she was doing it out of any sense of duty, she said wanted to show that she isn’t the person the media portrayed her to be and to show what a jerk Jon is. Yes, Kate didn’t address many of the accusations and claims which were made aginst her, but Kate had a show which could be referred back to in which to show the facts didn’t support the accusations.
I’ve thought about this over the past few days, and I think it’s not all about the money with Hailey. Maybe she finally has taken a stand on other women hating on Kate all the time and wants everyone to see the real Jon through her own eyes. I think there is more to come, and the sad part is Kate and her children will always be a part of Jon’s actions. You can’t stop that! He put his own family in the spotlight way back when he was bar crawling with college girls and it went down hill from there. I really think Ellen will take a hard look at all of this, she’s young, has a good job, future, maybe wants her own family. Sometimes I think young gals want to live in the big grown up world, Hollywood life, until they realize it’s not there. IMO only.
I did say a huge prayer for Kate and her 8, parents, family and friends today. I asked God to please give Kate the strengh to move forward and never look back. I also asked him to let the children have smiles through this storm again.
Is Jon’s dirty laundry ever going to go away?? I think he is a worm. I wonder how this will all affect his relationship with his new soul mate Ellen? I don’t believe for a second he’s “changed”, it’s almost like will the real Jon Gosselin stand up. Poor Kate and the kids for seeing his trash dragged out like this. Kate has his number, but those innocent children don’t deserve this. If he owes her money – pay it back for the sake of your kids, stop the madness, stop trashing their lives in pursuit of finding yourself.
Everyone said Kate should go back to nursing – which would never have worked for her due to the income wouldn’t support 8 kids (I am a nurse I know the earning potential), her notoriety would make it impossible to find employment in a public forum such as health care (lookie lookie who my nurse is….). Jon, if he ever really did work in IT should go back to work in IT. Maybe hide in a cubical, go into web design, though maybe his notoriety would make that impossible also. We know Kate’s in the public career wise, she’s in demand and making a living doing so. She’s a draw, good or bad, and she and her agent know it. I don’t think Jon Gosselin will ever be a draw.
Will he ever go away?? How many other “x” flings will come out of the woodwork and write about his bizarre year? This could go on forever. First Deanna brother, then Stephanie, then Kate Major, now Hailey….. is Ellen next. For all the haters who said Kate was going to “damage” the kids with her stern parenting and supported “poor” Jon. Kate’s stern parenting can only serve to produce productive citizens while Jon’s behavior has potential to cause some serious embarrassment.
Jon’s “life coach” Sylvia (something or other, I forget) takes Hailey to task for her ROL blog. Well, I agree with Sylvia’s opinion that Hailey shouldn’t make money off the “dirt” in the Gosselin saga. I already articulated my position there. Like others here, I think Hailey should take her cue from the women who stayed above it all rather than give in to the tabloid mess. Sylvia mentions Hilary Clinton and Sandra Bullock, but she forgets to mention class act KATE GOSSELIN, who has “taken the high road” regarding Jon, Hailey, Deanna, etc.
I disagree with Sylvia the Life Coach, too. I don’t think she should be lecturing Hailey Glassman. She should save her lectures for Jon Gosselin. She is either getting paid by him or she is offering him free services in exchange for the association which has brought her more attention than anything else she’s accomplished. I also think her lectures to Jon should be in private, not on her blog, where she does the same thing she is scolding Hailey Glassman for doing: benefiting from Jon Gosselin’s mistakes. Sylvia is just another Heller/Heller/Lohan/Schmuley.
What is Jon Gosselin getting out of his association with Sylvia the Leadership Lady? I can see what she gets (she’s selling her book,) but how is she helping him?
What is this leadership program she teaches, “Do as I say not as I do”? She mentions class acts and at the same time she blog slams Hailey…..not classy. She has all but drawn a line in the sand between Jon and Hailey by becoming his spokesperson and calling out Hailey as not credible.
Time for Jon and la la lafair to put into practice some of those life coaching and leadership qualities they are supposedly being taught or learning.
When I found this Lafair…or better – Lafoul…response off of Jon’s Twitter this a.m., I wrote back to her…after I gleefully posted it on Radar. While I don’t think what Hailey is doing is close to ‘classy’, I immediately felt repelled/repulsed by this ‘life coach’ calling out to Hailey…”Enough”! Not to forget that she would hope Hailey’s parents would deal w. her? This woman is a SHAM! To think she feels Jon is such a celebrity that HE deserves any sort of respect is CRAZY! My suggestion to her was a good 12-step program for Jon, & his considering that a civil 7 heartfelt apology to the WHOLE Glassman family might have more merit. I did not stop there. I mentioned that Ellen Ross was not helping Jon in his quest to be the best father by commenting on HATE sites against Jon’s ex-wife, or insinuating that she knows dirt about Kate.
Do I ever agree w. you, Ann. Sylvia is yet another one to add to the ever growing long list of Jon’s choices to prop him up. All of them seem to losers of the worst sort!
Oh blech, the $10 grand per month he’s paying to Sylvia LaFair covers a lot of sins.
I’m looking forward to watching the kids have some fun on the beach.
FYI, there’s a new Kate Plus 8 on tonight. It’s the one that Katy Hall wrote about when she was at Bald Head Island the same time as Kate and kids. The one where they were “forced” to fly expensive kites for more than a hour.
Hope everyone has had or is still having a great Labor Day!
