Elisabeth Hasselbeck Tells Kate Gosselin To “Get A Job!”
The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck, on Tuesday’s show (June 23), said Jon and Kate Gosselin “shouldn’t have a show,” and that Kate should “get a job.” Them is fightin’ words.
Video after the jump!
Hasselbeck did not agree with co-host Sherri Shepherd when she said that the Gosselins gave up their “jobs” to do the reality show and that essentially the show is Kate’s job (plus her book writing, speaking engagements etc.). Elisabeth was having none of that, saying, “I don’t care!!! It’s not healthy for the kids.”
True, she does have a point. If the show was still just about a couple who have a huge brood, doing their best to raise them, fine. However, it’s a sad trainwreck at this point with their pending divorce and subsequent custody arrangements, and do we really want to witness the breaking down of this family?
Elisabeth added, “Get the camera off the kids!”
Back to Elisabeth’s statement for Kate to “get a job,” yes, there are arguements all around. Should Jon and Kate stop the filming of their show? Maybe. At the very least until they can work through their separation and divorce and make sure the kids are feeling secure and know, that no matter what, mommy and daddy love them, even if they aren’t together anymore.
There’s the argument, that Jon and Kate should quit the show forever and get ‘real’ jobs… which, might be slightly difficult if they have to try to find help (they probably already have a nanny or two) to watch so many kids, and honestly, at this point, where can these two work that they would make enough money to care for eight children? Not to mention if they plan to put their kids through college at some point… it would be hard! They might have to subsidize their incomes with government assistance (if possible/eligible) but the public would be outraged if their tax dollars were going towards such a big family. Jon and Kate probably can’t win for losing. They are damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
Elisabeth, while having some valid points (particularly about the Gosselin kids being filmed during their parents divorce), is being somewhat hypocritical… she started her “career” by being on a reality show and she’s on TV now. No, her kids aren’t being filmed (although she has shown them on The View in the past – I KNOW, not the same thing), so have to give her that, but honestly, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Just sayin’.

ALM commented on Jul 22 09 at 9:47 amElisabeth, is an uptight, complaining nobody, who became famous for the husband she married and his kids, noone liked her when she was on survior, and no one likes her now. she comes off as 2faced,and I dont think she deserves anyone’s time. she was just as normal as everyone else and when she got big so did her options, and views, and now she is putting them on the public, leave Kate alone her whole world is turned up side down, and you have to pick and point at her cuz you can instead of giving out positive ideas for her to pick up her life. Elisabeth is a loser!!!!!!
Mel commented on Aug 10 09 at 8:59 pmThe only time I enjoy anything Elizabeth has to say is when she’s parodied on SNL.
Maybe she should get off the camera and raise her own children before she starts into another woman. Just sayin…
