Jon has definitely made it difficult to defend him, but I have to ask… why do people assume that the allegations made by the likes of Kate Major or Stephanie Santoro, are the gospel truth. These women have made a pretty penny from the tabloids. It’s obvious that Kate has amassed the backing of TLC’s huge PR department and a handful of fame hungry lawyers, but that doesn’t give her any more credibility than Jon in my book. I find it impossible to believe anything that comes out of her mouth.

The one positive in all of this is that the show is ending, and those kids might finally have a chance at a normal life. It really doesn’t matter why it’s happening, or at whose hands it has transpired. Jon may have a lot of growing up to do, but if his actions keep Kate and TLC from continuing to exploit those kids for the rest of their childhoods, then so be it. It’s way past the time for this trainwreck to end.

There’s no need to dissect every aspect of those 2 idiots lives into a long winded, sophomoric essay to try to prove something we already know – Jon and Kate got what they deserved.. And since when does a moderator post their own opinions and play favorites by deleting posts that they don’t agree with? A true moderator lets all opinions be heard. I’m tired of people on this board bragging about how they work for tv networks and other sites. Its all lies that make their opinion matter even less. Oh and guess what? NOBODY CARES!

I agree. I feel for them all. Perhaps with the show going off the air, it might just the sign of an intervention. Somebody has to be concerned for the children. Both should hold responsibility for his/her reckless behavior. Maybe family counseling would help them mend their past and give them just the right boost for a new beginning. I will certainly pray for them.

I agree with both sides of the argument.

The family might need the TLC show for financial reasons. Jon ended the show for his own selfish reasons (as a way to stick it to Kate). Jon is now planning on starring in his own reality show with Michael Lohan, and there’s a rumor he tried to film the twins’ birthday party for his new reality show.

Jon isn’t thinking too clearly right now. His new reality show will likely bomb/fail. And when Kate takes him to court for child support, he will be regretting the day he stopped Kate Plus 8. Like someone said, both parents will have to get multiple jobs to be able to take care of their very large family.

I’m still not on team Kate, not sure I can ever be. I do feel sympathy for her however, due to Jon’s reckless behavior. Anyone who watched the show in the past would see how badly Kate treated him. She practically put him down and demeaned him every chance she got. It was hard to watch. Jon could have had ‘America’s sympathy’ had he not gone off the deep end.

As for the comments, we welcome long, short & even essays A lot of people (including me) enjoy reading them with no problems.

I’m glad the show is ending. Now if the media would just stop reporting about them, maybe they’ll fade into obscurity. One can only hope.

And, just for the record — it’s troubling to see essays in the comments again. This is a comment section, not “write your own column here”. I don’t know about others, but I don’t even bother to read such long, drawn out comments.

#1 – Does fauleigh (previous commentor) work for Kate? lol JUST SAYIN’ pretty one sided.

#2 – Thank goodness. I tried to watch the first couple seasons and I just couldn’t take Kate’s constant negativity towards Jon.

Fame did them BOTH IN. There are two sides to every story and I am sure there are two stories here. No one should live their lives on camera for the whole country to see. Perception is reality. And now, everyone’s perception is exactly that – THEIR OWN REALITY. No one is perfect, I am sure they each had their faults. Jon is kinda goin’ off the deep end though isn’t he? – if you believe what is being reported anyway. It sure seems like, in the media, Kate is trying to stay out of the limelight and take care of her kids. Jon NEEDS MONEY is the perception. I am so thankful if it is true and they are going off the air… they need to get back to just being a regular family – and in this day and age… divorced parents isn’t UN-NORMAL anymore (is UN- NORMAL a word? – sorry if it isn’t).

I didn’t understand that when they went on TV shows they were promoting their TLC show, I thought that when they went on TV shows they were promoting themselves because that is all they ever talk about themselves
