Kate Gosselin: Is She Losing It?

Posted by michelle lamar on December 3rd, 2010 at 12:34 am

Gosselin Kate 192x300 Kate Gosselin: Is She Losing It? Kate Gosselin is back in the headlines and she seemed a little desperate.  The reality TV mom aired the family laundry (again) on the Today show and in PEOPLE magazine but her latest media blitz seemed over-the-top!

Gosselin admits that daughter Alexis and son Collin have “anger issues,” but Kate is quick to point out that reality T.V. is good for her kids!  The mom of eight went on the Today show Wednesday to put her spin on why her kids were NOT expelled from school.  According to Kate, she and the school “mutually agreed” on the decision to home school.  But WHY would Kate make such a big deal about school situation with Alexis and Collin?  Wouldn’t it be best to just let the gossip die down and concentrate on the children?

In August and September, Gosselin left a 19-year-old nanny in charge of all eight children while she flew to LA to attend The Emmys and then she jetted off to Cabo for a photo shoot.  According to RadarOnline, the teen nanny quit shortly after Kate returned.

During her Today appearance, Kate confessed she has forgiven her Jon Gosselin. But the mom of eight looked a little bitter to me! Go to our video clip of Kate’s interview on the Today show, then tell me what you think.

Do you think Kate Gosselin is losing it? Is Kate so obsessed with fame that she’s hurting her children? Talk to me Gosselin watchers.

As far as I’m concerned, Kate was born lost and never found herself. She needs some serious therapy and follow up with yoga sessions in India.

I now start to blame TLC their putting 8 lil ones in the ring and they are being used!!! They are obviously hurting and having probelms!!! Its time to pull the plug the ratings are down horribly, the kids are acting out they can’t say it, mom won’t let them!!! but its a downward spiral….

followup from last post i wrote, kate is now to the point were greed trying to be a celebrity has over shadowed her mind, i think a mediater a court appointed person should speak directly to the kids, also jon has been laying low, and i believe he is starting to see his kids those kids are having problems, kate i really think has a mental disorder, and going on today to talk about what her kids!!! whats wrong with her!!!hmm…maybe a personality disorder…

michelle commented on Dec 03 10 at 8:04 am

All I know is that I feel awful for her kids…

Kate blames everyone but herself. Jon and Kate separated over 2 years ago! How long is she going to blame the divorce? Why weren’t the kids asked to leave school last year?

Kate is so full of anger that it pours of her. She denies it and hopes that we area all willing to buy the BS she is selling. HER anger is probably the thing that is affecting her children.

She lost it along time ago! And TLC should be held resposible also. If she is not capable of putting the well being of those kids before her ‘reality fame’ then they need too!

Kate set the record straight. She has a right to defend her children. The story was already out there. Ugly stories have been coming out almost daily since Jon lost his case in court. The gossip is not going to die down as long as Jon’s camp keeps selling outlandish stories about Kate and the kids. Kate didn’t even address the nasty rumors about her giving the kids old lunches and the other ugly lies.

She said she forgave Jon for the sake of the kids. Where is Jon’s forgiveness for the sake of his kids. Nope, they just sell another story.

If Kate Gosselin really believed her kids were pulled from school because they have anger issues then she is in for a very big surprise because all of the children will be showing these signs very soon times 6. Its times 6 because two of her children are know showing these signs. Kate Gosellin needs to step away from tv herself and regroup her own thinking. I heard that only two are in therapy what about the others and therapy?

Well they both John and Kate have done things wrong. The children suffer . If Kate wants to be a star, then let Jon have his kids more instead of leaving them with a 19yo to spite him. And Jon Use some common sense when you have women/ lady friends/ around your kids.
and TLC shame on you, You have feed the fuel in this fire.

Why doesn’t TLC quit buying expensive presents and sending Kate and the kids on expensive trips and invest in a good therapist for Kate. That would really be great for the kids

cathy johnson commented on Dec 03 10 at 10:47 am

You know, I was thinking, the same thing!

Michelle Lamar commented on Dec 03 10 at 11:04 am

P-I agree with you completely, they need to think of the kids.

Michelle Lamar commented on Dec 03 10 at 11:04 am

TLC is at fault for funding Kate and her obsession to be a celebrity. The mental instability of all eight kids is the fault of TLC.

dessertgirl commented on Dec 03 10 at 1:48 pm

The kids beat the crap out of each other every show and the “anger issue” is new because??? She is disgusting. Stop blaming others for YOUR disillusion of grandeur!

Wombat commented on Dec 03 10 at 1:50 pm

Kate said her parents couldn’t give her what she needed, so she cut them off.

Kate said Tony didn’t know how to teach her to dance on DWTS, so she did terrible.

Kate said the school wasn’t meeting her kids’ needs, so it was a mutual decision to pull them out.

Why is it always the OTHER party letting Kate down? Why does Miss Katie Irene never take responsibility for what is happening in her and her children’s lives?

When will we EVER hear, “TLC wasn’t meeting my children’s needs, so we cut off filming.”

Anyone? Buehler? Anyone?

Tired of Kate commented on Dec 03 10 at 2:18 pm

@Merryway: And somehow you would know that Jon didn’t appologize to Kate?? Give me a break. Out of the two Jon is the better parent hands down. He might have lost his way but I think he has done some soul searching. How did I form this opinion? Simple. All you have to do is watch and listen to Kate talk. She is a self-absorbed, contolling, greedy, dishonest, materialistic human being. Its called judge of character.

anon commented on Dec 03 10 at 2:23 pm

oops, and that would be controlling.

anon commented on Dec 03 10 at 2:24 pm

She went tanning before going camping? seriousLY? weird hahaha http://bit.ly/eKdjXZ

You have a great point..

It doesn’t matter whether or not Jon apologized. Kate extended forgiveness. Instead of doing the same, he fired back immediately after her appearance. His camp has put out several more ugly stories just since yesterday. There’s no letting the past be in the past for Jon. He just keeps attacking. Just like the dog video, the twins’ birthday, and stopping filming to get out of his contract w/TLC. He ‘s staying true to his course of playing games without thought to how it affects his children.

merryway commented on Dec 03 10 at 8:08 pm

@Merryway: Watching Kate during that interview made me sick. She did not forgive Jon. She totally lacked sincerity. That is how I perceived it. She wants to LOOK like Miss goody two shoes but she is not fooling me. She initially wanted privacy regarding her children being expelled. But of course ratings are low for her so why not sell more of her children’s privacy and go on the Today Show to talk about it. She is disgusting and fake. I have a pretty good judge of character and I stand by the fact that she is way more deceitful and phony than Jon is. Time will tell but I think I am right.

anon commented on Dec 04 10 at 3:14 pm

She only lost it because her ratings are down, most clear thinking people thinks she’s a sham of a mother and her kids are suffering because she thinks she’s a Star. Why hasn’t Pennsylvania child welfare stepped in yet to protect those kids from their nutty mother??
