Did Jon & Kate Plus 8 Lie to Fans?

Many rumors have flown around the net today over the whole Jon & Kate Plus 8 announcement last night. For

those that did not read or watch it, they are splitting up and will live apart….in other words they are getting a divorce. Yesterday, right before the show aired Kate Gosselin filed for divorce before the show aired. But it was what she checked on the SEALED records.

One of the boxes from what the Associated Press reported was the one saying they have lived separate and apart for at least 2 years. Now of course if this were true it would mean the couple haven’t really been together like the show has aired. Or it could mean they have been apart and just in different rooms of the house, ie Kate in the room and Jon on the couch or playroom. We know he also stayed with his mom for a bit, not sure how long that was.

Course TLC has made a statement in regards to this denying the whole thing stating that the documents were misleading. I mean they wouldn’t want to lie to everyone either. I bet if they were lied to during the taping this might be grounds for a lawsuit on the Gosselin’s part.

TMZ.com has posted what they believe was misunderstood:

We now know what Kate checked on the divorce papers, which are confidential. There are two grounds for a no fault divorce in Pennsylvania — the first is waiting 90 days after the papers have been served. Then, if both Jon and Kate agree the marriage is “irretrievably broken” … the divorce can proceed.

And there’s a second option — that they have lived separate and apart for 2 years. But that doesn’t mean they have been separated for that long. It means she must wait 2 years from the moment she considered the marriage kaput and began living separately (if only in different bedrooms). We’re told the real separation between Jon and Kate is very recent and Kate checked the box just to get the clock ticking.

It does seem strange but since everything is sealed I’m guessing they don’t want anyone knowing what really went on and what’s what. TMZ did go on to state she checked both because she wasn’t sure if Jon thought the marriage could be saved or not. Was Jon having second thoughts? I’m not sure but there have been pics of Kate today at a gas station wearing her wedding ring. I doubt this means much though, women love their jewelry.

One more thing, it was announced today by TLC that the show will be on a hiatus for at least a month.
