We've heard of tangled webs, but this is getting ridiculous.
Father of eight Jon Gosselin is embroiled in a "he-said she-said battle" with girlfriend Hailey Glassman and Octo-mom Nadya Suleman.
Hailey says he has emotionally abused her, and Nadya says he was talking about teaming with her for a new reality show.
Only one of these statements is true - and according to a source close to Gosselin, it isn't Hailey's.
A close confidante to Jon Gosselin tells Fox411 that last week's taped confession by Hailey on "The Insider" was all designed for TV by Jon himself.
"Jon actually made the decision to have Hailey go on air and bad mouth him," says the insider. "Jon and Hailey get paid for their appearances on these shows and they need the money. It was easy for Hailey to conjure tears, their lives are less than stellar right now, but Jon hasn't abused [her]."
So why go on TV and say that he did?
"They agreed to have her go on and make the abuse allegations!" our shocked source says. "Jon doesn't have much money left and he is not currently searching for a real job. Jon still seeks money through his fame and notoriety. He really wants a reality show of his own, and he is stretching out every moment of the drama for a dollar."
Which means Hailey's abuse allegation was just a "Balloon Boy" type stunt to attract reality-TV producer attention.
However, the other rumor of the week, that Jon would be involved with Octomom, was true, even though he denied it, says the source.
Jon released a statement on Thursday night denying he even heard about a reality show with Nadya Suleman. But emails seen by Fox411 and RadarOnline.com show Gosselin was contemplating the show and hoping to get close to a million dollars for a slew of fake dates with Octomom.
"His whole team heard of the project and was involved in brokering the possible deal," the confidante tells Fox411. "His managers, lawyers and publicists need to get something rolling for him or he won't be able to pay them. Jon doesn't have a big bank account loaded with money. He has to do something and this would have been funny, plus Hailey had no problem going along with the fake dates and pretending to be upset. She is along for the ride and enjoys being on TV."
The insider says Jon is still using excuses to explain his bad behavior and the poor example he's setting for his children.
"Jon still believes he got married too young and had too many children that he wasn't ready for - that's what has led to the demise of his relationship and the TV show," says the source. "Kate doesn't even talk to him. She leads a totally separate life, and their schedules are worked out far in advance to completely avoid each other."
Meanwhile, Jon Gosselin went public Sunday begging Kate for forgiveness, and Hailey Glassman Tweeted her followers that she and Gosselin are now kaput.
If yall are so sick of jon and kate then why are you reading this article and still interested? hmmmm....
I personally have been watching the show since it first started (before the bs,) and I am preying for them for the children. So ask yourself this...
If you were offered a million dollar contract to have your family and lives video taped would you do it? If you say no then your a liar. They didnt know it would end up like this, although, if you kept up with the show you knewitwasgnahappen
He is a disgusting fool.All the mess with this Rabbi is also nothing but a mock up.This Rabbi should have seen this coming. He is supposed to be a man of brains and comfort. So now it is all coming out that Jon is really an idiot. As so many have said, my heart goes out to Kate for all the cr=p she has had to endure with him and now people are giving her more. She above all, need our support and we need to stop beating her down.
AS for Halley, she needs to grow up and run away. "TRAMP"
Hey, I do not see anyone complaining about the other reality shows with children on it. Table for 12, the Duggars and so on. Jon and Kate happens to be going through a tough time and the tabloids are cashing in, could it happen to one of the other shows? sure. then will we also judge them? I do not think we are being fair to either one of them. You can see they both truly love their children. We should give them some slack.
Shame on anyone who thinks she is doing a bad thing. This was a lucrative start for her and her family until Jon decided he needed to taint it. Her 9 child wanted to make a mockery of it all and gain fame and fortune for himself and said forget these kids, I want all the money for myself and my partying ways. He saw fame and fortune could give his childish ways some fun. Not the other way around, fame fortune to survive with the giant family he made with Kate. He made them. it takes 2.Loser!
Ok... I never liked the show from the get go but after watching a few episodes I found Jon needed to be treated like a child. She was doing all the work. The lazy schmuck, was like having another kid. Now look who strayed like and says he was being abused(yeah right), excuses excuses. the schmuck needs to take care of his family. I wouldn't get on Kate, she is SUPER WoMAN. sure everone thinks she's in it for the money. SHE IS Thats her JOB, it made her abe to afford her big family.
Enough of Jon and Kate, now Hailey...they are not stars and never will be. They HAD a reality show and thank goodness that is done. Jon needs to be real and find a job..and Kate should be doing the same as for Hailey go back to college and maybe dump this idiot
Ha ha! It makes me laugh that Jon is broke, and cannot get Reality Show Deals! So...what happened with "The Divorced Dad's Club" with Michael Lohan or should I say, "The Deadbeat Dad's Club?"
Oh Well, I guess it is time to apologize to Kate, makes sense he and bimbo ran out of party money.
Is it any wonder why Kate came off as being so controlling of Jon? The woman had 9 children,not 8..maybe we judged her unfairly? Would you want to be married to such an idiot?
What great role models ?????? This is what will be the evolution of mom and dads to come if we keep caring what these morons do. Octo Balloon kids and more!!!!!!!!! Wake up America
