Jon & Kate Plus 8: Divorce Heats Up

The war has officially begun in the Jon & Kate Plus 8 Divorce. Okay sure it may have begun the day Kate announced she and Jon were splitting up but not someone’s showing their true colors.

On the same day that TLC announced a new makeover of the show, a new name, “Kate Plus 8″ and the dumping of Jon something else was occurring. Jon was already filing papers, take a peek at what became of those papers: (Cease and desist letter)

IMG: TLC

CNN Reports:

“Effective immediately, no production crews are to enter Jon’s family home for any reason,” a letter from his attorney said, according to “The Insider,” which announced the news on CBS’ “The Early Show.” “In the event that anyone enters the marital property, Jon Gosselin will notify the local authorities to effectuate police action against any trespassers.”

As you can see he no longer wants the kids to be on the show, or if he does he wants in on the deal. What do you think is really going on? Is this a parent in a divorce that is striking out at the other? This wouldn’t be the first time a celebrity parent, or any parent for that matter, has struck back at the opposite parent during a divorce.

The show was prepared for Jon’s newest antics. Here’s what they said to People Magazine about the situation:

“We are aware of Jon Gosselin’s recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic,” TLC said in a statement to PEOPLE. “Despite Jon Gosselin’s repeated self destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents.”

This is just one thing couples have to deal with, some couples will ban certain people from visiting their children, leaving the city/state/country/etc. It seems they do anything to hurt the other parent, even if it means hurting their own children. In this case Jon may say he worries about what all the media does to them, however where were these feelings in the beginning or even the past few years?

Here is Kate Gosselin’s response to People Magazine:

“I’m saddened and confused by Jon’s public media statements. Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits our children and was taping on Friday with the kids.

“I check in regularly with each of the kids to be sure they want to participate in and continue with the show and will continue to do so,” Kate, 34, continues. “I do the show for my family because I believe it provides us opportunities we wouldn’t otherwise have. Jon used to share that belief until as recently as the day the network announced the name change of the show and indicated that Jon would have a lesser role in the show. It appears that Jon’s priority is Jon and his interests. My priority remains our children and their well-being.”

Newest reports are stating Jon isn’t being spiteful, even though it looks it and that he has asked the show for a 90 day vacation more or less so he can reconcile with his family and his wife. Does this mean he is trying to get back with her? I thought he was madly in love with Hailey. Well, as some may know, sometimes it takes a split to grow a husband and wife back together stronger than they were before. If that is the situation and the pair get back together would you watch the show?
