Jon, from Jon & Kate Plus 8 is finally stepping up and letting his voice be heard. Yes, I know Kate isn’t shutting him up, but this time there is a reason. Why? Jon is sick and tired of all the gossip swirling around between the two of them. For those that don’t know, Jon was

rumored to have cheated on Kate with some college girls down the road at a bar. Many were able to understand why he’d be able to do it but others were disgusted because if he wanted to leave her he should just do it.
He’s saying it never happened and that they have issues but are working on them. Oh and for those worrying, Jon & Kate Plus 8 have just agreed to do another season. They did spend some ALONE time with one another down in LA and were photographed. I mean you never can go anywhere without the cameras finding out.
Ladies Home Journal:
“This struggle has definitely put some tension in our marriage. But I never cheated on Kate. Kate and I are together.
It is hard being on this side of the camera, and not just sitting here, that’s the easy part, but just going out in the world and trying to live your life.
People see your life as episodes and you see it as a date on the calendar. We don’t have privacy at all. If I go out, people know I go out and photograph it and do everything they gotta do… That’s tough for me. I can’t be ‘Jon,’ I have to be ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8,’ which is a real hard thing for me. I still haven’t come to grips with it.
…Maybe we’ll be back, maybe we won’t.”
Honestly I can see where this would be an issue, but they signed up for it too. Granted I don’t think they ever saw it becoming so huge, they probably thought it would be a tiny show with a handful of fans. Not this huge thing where they are known worldwide. During the interview Kate mentioned Jon feeling frustrated with the show, I’m sure he does, he’s known more as the whipping boy and he just takes it all. I think more people want to see him get some … ummm… well get the nerve to speak up. Speak his mind more than once during a season.
