"Jon and Kate Plus 8 Plus Their Lovers Plus Their Divorce Lawyers" Airing this Fall
There are times when I like to take a look outside the world of myself, rare as those times are, and talk about an issue that is becoming very prevalent in our current society. That issue now would be the Jon and Kate Plus 8 scandal. You may want to stand back because this is a really deep and hard hitting issue and I may get blacklisted for talking about this one.
For those of you who don’t know what’s going on between TLC’s favorite ginormous family it’s documented here, here, and also here. And those are really just three different versions of the same story which is that People are seeing Jon out with a chick and thus are accusing him of cheating on Kate. And this is terrible because they have 8 CHILDREN!!!!!!
I had heard mention of this before, you know, when I was standing in line at the grocery store and glanced at the celebrity trash mags or in a news blurb or something. It wasn’t brought to my attention until it was brought up on Preston & Steve on WMMR on morning last week. I am kind of a captive audience when I’m in the car so it’s not like I could ignore them, but they brought up some good points about the situation, as well as some completely ridiculous ones. Since then I’ve been seeing it everywhere. And I guess that because the show takes place around here they are Pennsylvania’s sweethearts and I’m required to love them and be invested in their lives regardless.
This is an issue that hits close to home for me, because I’ve been cheated on, so I was getting pretty involved in the conversation last Thursday morning with Preston, Steve, and co. And by involved I mean I was yelling at my radio while trying not to drive off the turnpike. Preston’s argument was that Kate’s a total bitch, which I can attest to because I have seen the show, so Jon should go out and see other women. This is where I got mad because no one deserves to get cheated on. Ever. Not even the bitchiest of the bitches. I had my hand in both sides of the cheating party. And the girl who was cheated on in that instance was a controlling bitch. While that allowed me to make it seem okay at the time, after I was then cheated on by him I realized that no one should go through that ever. Also, that it doesn’t matter how bitchy, how nice, how super duper awesome you are to some people, if they don’t find what they want in you they are going to go elsewhere for it (especially if they don’t have the balls to man up and say it). Thankfully no one really agreed with Preston and all of the callers told him how pissed off they were that he said that.
Yes, Kate is really mean to him, and yes it has gotten worse as the show progresses. And yes, Jon deserves to feel like a man and shouldn’t be constantly criticized and belittled on national TV. But, going with the other point that Casey made, that maybe he just needed to feel like a man and he’s feeling pressured because it’s a TV show and they have a butt load of children that he can’t fight back or get a divorce like a family not in the public spectrum would do. I’m going to have to go with he’s just being a pussy about it all.
As stated before, I have watched the show, and Jon seems like a genuinely nice guy. And Kate does not deserve him because she treats him like shit. No one deserves to be yelled at like that especially not on a TV show. I thought maybe she just did it for ratings because Jon never said anything back, he just kind of took it. But since all of these allegations of them cheating on each other and now their marriage is suffering and falling apart I’ve been hearing that it goes on for more than just the time spent shooting the family. It goes as far as the fact that Jon’s family asks that she not be present when they come to visit. It might just be me because I am very cautious about how I treat other people, but if my inlaws couldn’t stand being near me for brief amounts of time, I would think there was something wrong with me.
Anyway, Jon seems very laid back and doesn’t seem to be the type to stand up for himself, so Kate becomes this take charge woman and is thus labeled as a bitch and also is one. Instead of going on and messing around with other women, or just one in particular, he should actually take charge and say, “Hey, you either change or I’m out of here.” But that’s what a crazy person would do. Or at least that’s what some people are saying.
The next part of this crazy conundrum is the small fact that they have eight children together, you know, nothing big. What a lot of people are saying is that they can’t do this kind of thing, you know have marital problems, affairs, or even, gasp, a divorce/separation, because it’s going to mess up their children. Like the 3-4 years of being on TV during their developmental stages hasn’t messed them up already. Do you think they have a discount if you do 8 plus group therapy? Because I think these kids are going to need all the help they can get. I honestly think Jon needs to be selfish in this situation. He needs to take action and do what’s going to make him happy.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to see this family torn apart because a guy can’t keep it in his pants, but there needs to be a family dynamic where they are both happy. Maybe that involves couples therapy. I think that would make for great ratings. Just think of it as “Jon and Kate Plus 8 and also the therapist.”
So, the points of the day are that Jon needs to man up and tell Kate to get real, I've learned how to put hyperlinks in text, and I've posted a new discount fashion blog.
