Here are just some of the hundreds of horrible and twisted tweets about Jon from this one person. I did not include her Twitter name here because everyone who follows Kate Gosselin knows who she is.
xxxxx @deannatweeting @xxxxx @kateplusmy8 Kate needs to tell her kids to NOT tell Jon anything about her home or what she's doing.
xxxxx @deannatweeting @xxxxx @kateplusmy8 If the kids do tell Jon or anyone her business or what goes on in their home, I would get SPOON
xxxxx @deannatweeting @xxxxx @kateplusmy8 Kate should tell her children their father is HER ENEMY.
xxxxx @xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Kate doesn't have to isolate her kids but she better threaten them about telling Jon or anybody HER business
xxxxx@xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Kate, w/ exception of sexual/physical abuse THREATEN ur children if they reveal YOUR business 2Jon. Tell kids Jon is YOUR enemy
Very, very scary. A lot can be learned about a person from the company she keeps.
LAST “WRITES”
It seems only fitting to regurgitate a couple of Kate’s Twitter writings as the final words in this chapter. I want to give her every opportunity to set the record straight and put the truth out there. Too bad she is telling untruths as she states “only the facts.”
Ok,I’m saying GN now. Great2put the truth out there so these morons who make stuff up look&feel stupid! I feel better now! Until next X….
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 you’re a bad mom
I’m sorry you feel that way. Have u ever met me or spent time in our home? Yeah, I didn’t think so! Have a nice evening..
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Twitter, Facebook, google is here for eternity. What goes on here, is a diary to your children – remember that.
I do! That’s why I state only the facts :)&only when needed. Talk abt Only things that make it to the public--& then only2correct!
People don’t have to have ever met Kate or spent time in her home because she invited them all inside for seven seasons of filming. She showed us all what kind of mother she is. It’s not a secret.
HELL ON WHEELS: THE END OF AN “ERROR”
“I have always dreamed of taking the kids
on an RV trip to see this country.”
– Kate Gosselin
The final two episodes of Kate Plus Ei8ht aired on August 29th and September 5th of 2011. Those episodes, officially titled “RV Trip” and “RV Breakdown,” tell an illuminating story about the final relationship between Kate and TLC. I am recapping these episodes in detail because so much happened that explains why TLC, Ashley Turner and Jamie Cole Ayers had finally had enough of Kate Gosselin.
Anyone truly interested in the Gosselin story will take the time to watch these episodes. They clearly illustrate and epitomize why TLC had finally decided to part ways with Kate for good. TLC did not attempt to hide, disguise, excuse or sugarcoat Kate’s entitled, demanding, lying, sadistic and narcissistic behavior, as they had done so often in the past.
In the first of the RV episodes, Kate was shown tearing the tags off all the brand new clothes she was given for the trip. Kate always demanded new clothes for everyone whenever they filmed an episode. She seemed very annoyed that she had to remove the tags by herself, though. Usually a production assistant did that tedious work (you know, the normal, everyday mom things) for her.
When she was outside packing her SUV, she yelled at Mady for not helping her quickly enough and scolded her in an irritated tone, saying, “You should know by now whenever you’re helping me you should be running at all times!”
The crew loaded everything into the RVs in her front yard except for one or two bags so they could get footage of Kate working hard packing up the RVs. Now packing a vehicle is a task that normal people do every single day in preparing for a trip, but Kate couldn’t even handle that job without drama. She made it look so hard and exhausting. She struggled by herself to push a couple of bags into the outside storage compartment of one of the RVs, got frustrated and snapped at the film crew saying, “At some point we’re going to have to stop playing ‘we’re filming a TV show’ and really work because I’m really done!” She was standing there all flustered, with her hands on her head acting like the typical lazy, demanding, put-upon Kate Gosselin we have seen so often. It’s interesting that her comment about filming a TV show wasn’t edited out.
After this dramatic display of poor, overworked Kate packing up the RVs, something strange and entirely non-RV-trip-like happened. Kate and her children and security guards and babysitters set off on the “dream” RV trip two days later by getting on an airplane and jetting off to South Dakota to meet up with their packed RVs. I wonder if their luggage at least enjoyed the road trip.
They flew to South Dakota on an RV vacation because it is a fake reality show, and they had already scripted which scenes they were going to be filming out west. TLC didn’t want to waste anyone’s precious time by having them actually driving to their destination in an RV while on an RV trip.
One of the scripted “scenes” in this realist of reality shows that they had planned ahead of time was “Kate drives the RV.” Kate said, “I actually wanted to try to drive for the first part of the trip to see what it would be like if I took this on myself. (She actually drove less than a mile, just for fake filming.) Here are some highlights from the RV trip. Ours has always been the realist reality show.
At a rest stop, Kate and the kids were playing by the water in what looked like mud. They were throwing it at each other and having a grand old “spontaneous” time. Then Kate yelled, “That could be totally sewage, you do realize!” She then said, “It smells like sewage so I wouldn’t say put it on her face!” so of course Kate was shown with the sewage or mud or whatever it was splattered on her own face. Kate continued, “Oh my word, this is so raunchy! It’s in Mady’s mouth. It’s probably not good. It’s sewage!” while laughing and having a good time.
Then Kate ran around smearing the “sewage” in Jamie’s son’s face, and he smeared it in Kate’s. Kate was still laughing as she got “sewage” in her mouth. A few minutes later, with all of the kids laughing and running around playing and having a great time, Kate announced, “I’m done! Let’s call it quits! Let’s go!!”
Cut! Filming was done, so the kids’ fun was over, too.
It was nice to see the kids having fun, but Kate’s participation was confusing. Were we to believe that Kate, who called herself a “manic germophobe” in Multiple Blessings, and who has always been portrayed as an OCD clean freak, was OK with getting “raw sewage” in her mouth? This is the same woman who later in the trip wouldn’t go in the huge river during the rafting excursion because she was afraid there might have been pee in there; her own kids’ pee for that matter.
So which is it Kate? Are you a germophobe, or are you a complete faker and liar, pretending to have fun while “raw sewage” is being thrown in your face? Of course the mud wasn’t raw sewage, but they had to create a little fake drama for filming.
In another scene, the RVs pulled over for a few minutes to let the kids out for some fresh air and exercise. Once again, the kids were having a wonderful time running around and playing, but Kate said, “They’re sick of the RVs already and we haven’t really ridden in them yet, so we’re inventing fun … evidently,” as she looked on in disgust. It is astonishing how she can take the pleasure out of most normal childhood experiences. Most parents who see their children thoroughly enjoying themselves would allow their fun to continue for as long as possible. Kate is not most parents.
There was nothing that was pleasing to Kate about this trip. While complaining about her seat being uncomfortable, Kate said, “I’m sure there’s RVs that are convenient in the world. This is not one of them.”
I’ll bet the company that let TLC use their RVs was really happy about their vehicle being bad-mouthed like that on television.
Kate has completely forgotten who she is and where she came from. She’s a hillbilly from a cow pasture in rural Pennsylvania. She is not a star. She has no marketable skills o
r talent that anyone can see. Where did she get this false sense of entitlement? She gave birth to six babies at one time. That’s the only reason anyone knows her name.
NEXT STOP, MOUNT RUSHMORE
“Traveling is knowledge. Traveling is learning.
Traveling is life experience. I’m a huge advocate of traveling.”
– Kate Gosselin
Kate Gosselin is a huge advocate of traveling when someone else is paying for it.
When the traveling Gosselin side-show reached Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, Cara started to tell us about the Presidents on the national memorial, specifically pointing out Teddy Roosevelt. Kate quickly interrupted her daughter’s moment to correct her and tell us all that it is not, in fact, Teddy, it’s Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Kate informed us, “And that is FDR. Do you see it?”
Not only is Kate blindingly, shockingly stupid, she just couldn’t let Cara have her moment, and she wouldn’t let go. When her mistake was corrected on camera by a member of the crew, Kate looked angry and outraged. She said, “It’s Teddy Roosevelt, OK, correct me, whatever (rolling her eyes.) It’s one of those Roosevelt people. Ok, I think we can cut it. Wave it goodbye.”
Cut! Kate is not happy. Filming is done. The kids’ fun is done. And they drove away from this “educational” stop on their road trip. Move on to the next shot.
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK
(One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World)
“Grand Canyon, that’s where we’re going.
A huge missing chunk of Earth, deep crevicy thing.”
– Kate Gosselin
Kate was so awed by the sight of the Grand Canyon she just couldn’t find the words to adequately express her appreciation of it. Well, that really means she said the first stupid thing that came to her mind. As she stood at the edge of one of the most breathtaking sights in nature anyone will ever see, Kate uttered these inspired words:
“Whew, this is freaky! Wouldn’t wanna be here when an earthquake strikes.”
“Oh, I am just so like, freakazoided. It’s like wasted land, I mean, like what could you ever do besides come and gawk at it?”
Her friend Jamie, who does not pretend to know everything about everything like Kate does, appeared to understand this was supposed to be an educational trip, so she said, “I wonder how far it stretches.”
Kate, looking at the cameraman for approval, answered: “Like ten thousand miles or something!?”
(Educational note to Kate: The Grand Canyon is actually 277 miles long. Not 10,000. Close enough for Kate, though.)
Earlier, Kate had sent Cara and Mady back to the RV with Ashley due to bad behavior. Her family was at the Grand Canyon filming a television show, and Kate sucked all that joy out of it for her girls, and once again, made everything about her. “They came to take a picture and they’re gone! I will not take it!” she said.
As Jamie and Kate were staring out at the wondrous scene before them, Jamie said, “It’s too bad Ashley, Mady and Cara aren’t going to see all this.”
Kate nonchalantly remarked: “I know!”
THE FACTS OF REALITY LIFE
For these “unscripted” RV trip episodes, each of the kids was given facts to inform us about various things so they could pretend to know about them and seem well-educated. When they visited Old Faithful, Hannah spoke out of turn and Mady snapped, “Hannah! That was my fact! I’m starting over!” That prompted this exchange between Kate and Mady:
Kate: “Do you want to go sit on the end of the bench?”
Mady: “No, I want to start over!”
Kate: “No. Nobody’s listening twice!!”
Then to make sure everyone knew how difficult everything was for her, Kate announced, “I’m about to spew like that thing. I’m getting really close.”
The kids were loving watching Old Faithful shoot boiling water and steam into the air. They wanted to stay, but the crew had gotten their shot and that’s all that mattered to Kate. As soon as she had had enough of watching “that thing” and putting up with a few people taking pictures, she was ready to leave.
“Let’s get outta here before we’re photographed to pieces. Let’s go!”
CAMPFIRE COOKING
The best part of this whole fake, scripted episode is when it was decided that Kate was going to cook dinner over a “campfire.” Kate made a big deal about never having cooked over a “campfire,” and the kids were shown gathering rocks and wood and brush. Kate disappeared with Steve in an SUV for several hours to go shopping for organic chicken.
Later, we saw a campfire being started with the wood the kids had gathered, and we were given the impression that Kate was cooking the chicken over the campfire. There was just one minor detail. The producers/editors at TLC made the mistake (or was it a mistake?) of showing a close-up of Kate cooking the chicken, not over the wood-burning campfire they had shown us moments earlier, but on a grill rack placed over charcoals exactly like the charcoals Kate has in her grill at her house, the one she claims she cooks on very often. She looked surprised that the chicken got burned as it sat unattended for too long on that grill in extreme heat, dripping fat onto the hot coals just inches below.
Then, during the scene, Kate threw a fit saying, “These kids have like no clue what this takes!”
(I’m pretty sure that 7-year-olds don’t really need to know basic grilling skills.)
She later said, “It’s shocking, um, (Kate wide-eyed) I mean I enjoyed it actually. I’ve never cooked over a campfire and I grill all the time, but that doesn’t count. I nearly burned it, but it was still edible so we’re good.”
PIZZA PARTY
While standing outside of a luxury RV being angry and put off…Kate said, “I’ve never stood next to an RV in flip flops on gravelly stones and ordered takeout. It’s really odd. It’s time to go home.” That summed up her mood and things continued to spiral downward from there.
Kate threw a tantrum and had a total meltdown on camera because Jamie and Ashley had the nerve to allow the children to eat some of the last four remaining slices of pizza. Kate flipped out because the pizza was supposed to be for the adults for lunch and Steve had “reserved” a slice the night before. There was one slice left and Mady, Kate’s own flesh and blood, handed it to Steve without wrapping it in foil or putting it on a plate. Kate blew her top. Judging from her over-reaction, you would have thought that Mady had contaminated the pizza with nuclear waste. Kate screamed about how disgusting it was. Poor Mady, clearly upset, said, “Mommy, I’m sorry. I didn’t know, Okay?” Kate’s comforting words to her were, “It’s not your fault. The adults in there should tell you to stay out of the fridge.”
Kate went on to talk about her “masterminding the meals” and “foraging for food.” She made it sound like she was trapped in the wilderness and forced to scrounge for seeds and berries to keep her family alive instead of, horrors, having them eat macaroni and cheese instead of pizza.
Kate’s meltdown over Mady touching a slice of pizza is even more bizarre considering that earlier in the trip Kate was laughing and having a jolly good time while she and the kids threw RV “raw sewage” on each other, with some of the kids even getting it in their mouths.
A TEARFUL GOODBYE
Kate’s “best friend,” Jamie, and her other longtime “friend” and babysitter, Ashley, were along on the trip to help watch the kids. Kate called them what the rest of us already knew they were…paid help. Kate made it clear that Ashley and Jamie were not doing the work they were being paid to do. She said, “I can’t do it all myself and I have asked for help, and I’ve gotten it. I’ve gotten help, but not the help to the degree that I was hoping I would get.” That’s Kate-speak meaning Jamie and Ashley were being paid to do everything, but Kate actually had to pitch in a little bit, and it was more than she could bear.
“I’m not happy and I shouldn’t be happy,” Kate continued. I have always had what we needed. I am masterminding for 15 people. I am not along as help. Natur
ally, I’m a little busy. The funny thing is we pull out 25 minutes late and it’s always my fault cause they’re in there watching a movie. I went in yesterday, they’re all in the air conditioning on the HDTV and I just went… not one adult came and asked if they could…is there anything I can do? I mean, that’s not paid help in my opinion, I’m sorry. I feel very bad saying bad things about two of the people I like the most. I’m not trying to say it about them, I just, I don’t know what happened to them. I don’t know if this is like posh trip that they’re usually used to going on, I, I don’t know what it is. We don’t go on posh trips. I struggle from the beginning to the end. I get very little sleep.”
Kate blamed everyone else for the reason they pulled out late, but Ashley exposed what really happened. She said, “The two hours yesterday that she’s talking about that she was ‘getting ready,’ she was putting on her makeup and taking a shower, and we had all the kids over here. It’s just BS. It’s just a joke to me and if she really…if that’s what she thinks, I’m over it. It’s bullcrap. It’s such a joke. It’s enough. I’ve had it.” With tears in her eyes, Ashley said, “It just sucks because I’d die for these kids, but I just can’t spend one more minute with her. Please send me home.”
A voice off camera told her, “Yep. We’ll do it. We’ll start working on it.” Then, with the blurred images of the two RVs side by side in the background, these words appeared on the screen: “DURING A PRIVATE CONVERSATION, ASHLEY TOLD KATE THAT SHE WAS LEAVING.”
