Kate Plus 8 Minus Jon

OK, it's what everyone has been talking about for a while now, and I'm no different. I have been a faithful watcher of Jon & Kate Plus 8 from the beginning and have loved watching those cute little kids for a long time. I even drove to Defiance, OH to see Jon & Kate do a speaking engagement. It was interesting to see how they managed emotionally, logistically, physically and financially during the crazy early years of the sextuplets' lives. However, in the last year, things have changed.

The show became more about product placement, free trips all over the place, hair plugs for Jon, Kate's crazy hairstyle, book deals, etc. After a while, you realize that you aren't watching a show about 8 kids anymore...you're watching a show about 2 parents who are becoming reality stars.

I can't say that the divorce is a shock, given all of the speculation, media coverage and just the way Jon & Kate act toward each other on the show. I don't think that the divorce is the fault of one or the other, but rather BOTH of them. Instead of standing up to his controlling wife a LONG time ago when it started, he allowed her to brow-beat, humiliate, belittle and demasculate him over time and then all of a sudden he's now "proud of himself" for finally standing up to her......by cheating and going outside the marriage. WOW, Jon, what a man you are. The time for you to get some balls was 10 years ago when you decided to marry Kate.....not now when you are telling your children that it's OK to cheat on their mother and bring your 23-year-old girlfriend to your house when your wife is out of town. That's pathetic.

And Kate, WOW - you are one controlling bitch. I don't know where you get off treating your husband and everyone else in the world like they are beneath you just because you grew 6 babies in your tummy. GET OVER YOURSELF. You say 'everything is for your kids' and 'as long as my kids are happy, safe, etc. then I've done my job'......well, when you are putting them through this, they are neither happy nor safe, you idiot! Your kids either CAN read or WILL read all of this garbage in the media about your marriage. You have chosen to do People magazine articles in which you complain about, bash and belittle Jon - and for what? Money? I can't see any other reason you would do that except for money. Your kids may not have a copy of that to read now, but rest assured, they will someday. And when they do, they will know all of the shameful behaviors of both of you, as well as knowing that they were just pawns in the game of your fame and fortune. If you really cared about your kids, you wouldn't air your marital problems and dirty laundry in People magazine. You would keep your marriage (or lack thereof) between the TWO people in the marriage. GET A LIFE, KATE!

You are a demanding prima donna who everyone is getting sick of. I hope you make a lot of money on your books and this train wreck of a show because your 15 minutes of fame are just about up and you'll need some money to support those innocent kids when no one wants to see your face again.
