Jon and Kate Plus Hate




JON GOSSELIN ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA: 'I DESPISE KATE'
(Entertainment Weekly)

Speaking to interviewer Chris Cuomo, Jon Gosselin of Jon and Kate Plus 8 fame spoke out, stating that not only does he "despise" his ex, but that their relationship is beyond repair. Ironically enough, Gosselin has kept a low profile despite being seen as the inflammatory half of the couple thanks to his pleasure romps post-seperation from Kate.

From a journalistic perspective, it was a fairly short piece that more or less just promoted the hour long spot aired on Primetime Family Secrets on ABC. The article was fairly biased in Gosselin's favor as it pointed out his blatant flame, but made an exception for his temperment merely as a response to Kate's thriving public profile. I found while reading the article that I don't particularly feel for either parent in this situation -- Kate is certianly not doing anyone any favors by prolonging the limelight, nor is Gosselin's "tit-for-tat" snark or romantic rendevous acting as damage control. As if those poor half-Asian children weren't scarred enough, Daddy's quote on Good Morning America will certainly be fodder for dysfunctional Thanksgiving chatter for years to come.
