Jon Gosselin: dropped from TLC show, seeks to suspend divorce for 90 days
Jon Gosselin
As I’ve said before, I’m on the receiving end of all things Jon Gosselin. I’m talking gossip, news, etc. So here’s the latest e-blast from In Touch Weekly. It came just about the time it was being reported by People magazine and gossip/entertainment bloggers that Jon Gosselin was being dropped from the show, “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” and it was being renamed “Kate Plus 8.”
********************
Shockingly, today, Jon submitted a document to a Pennsylvania court-approved arbitrator, which he hopes will suspend his split with Kate for 90 days. He explains, “This will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family.” He also pleaded with her to set aside their anger so they can start interacting amicably.
“I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting,” Jon tells In Touch. “Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That’s why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family — not destroy it.”
Jon claims he’s done sowing his wild oats and grown disenchanted with his playboy lifestyle. Jon believes that his womanizing was a result of being dumped by Kate, who told him it was over in October 2008 before filing for divorce. “When Kate broke up with me, I begged her to go with me to counseling,” he says. “She was totally against it. I think I was reacting to the pain I have been suffering as a result of Kate’s rejection of me.”
Heller insists that Jon wants the document to be a sort of peace treaty: “He is hoping to inspire his wife to become less rigid, inflexible and controlling and open up. We’re hoping Jon and Kate can sit down together and start exploring what to do about their situation. Once they do that, the rest will fall into place.”
