Jon Gosselin
Jon Gosselin has gotten himself into a financial and legal mess. He’s now being sued by TLC!

The network announced this morning that they were pursuing legal action against Jon for breach of contract. This is a result of Jon stopping production on his show Jon & Kate Plus 8.

According to the legal papers filed by Paul Gaffney of Willaims and Connolly in DC and obtained by TMZ, the day TLC renamed the show Kate Plus 8, Jon's lawyer contacted TLC and demanded that they release him from the "exclusivity" provision of the contract, even though Jon was still getting a paycheck.

The suit claims Jon's lawyer gave the firm an ultimatum to either release him from the exclusivity clause within one hour, or Jon would block the filming of the TLC show on grounds it was "detrimental to his children."

TLC says Jon is a liar, and had never talked about the well-being of his children in all the years of filming, and only brought it up when his paycheck was on the line.

Kate may do the "old-fashioned" thing of spanking her kids, but she's starting to win points as being the most responsible parents in this case. She was probably treating Jon like a two-year-old because he was ACTING like a two-year-old most of the time.

TLC's right in suing him. He should pay up for all the damage he's doing to the kids.

He is so short sighted since the show has provided him income for his sluts, apt in NY city (133 miles from the kids), his nasty clothing and trips. He stated on one program that he did not really want to do the show but the kids want to do it. So now he has taken away a support structure for the kids. The crew are their friends and they even play with them. I do not work for anyone involved in this mess. Because their father is an ass who does not support his kids now he wants to put them in the poor house.
