Jon Gosselin Tells the "Real Story"

jongosselinintouch.jpgWhile we're all man-bashing Jon Gosselin for taking up with, what seems like, a new girl every other minute, the reality TV star claims that we have it all wrong. Jon tells the new issue of In Touch that his marriage to wife Kate Gosselin was over long before the public got wind of it.

"Many people think that everything moved too fast, that I was out partying too quickly. But Kate gave up on the marriage last October, and the divorce will be finalized by Sept. 30," he said during an Aug. 2 interview in New York.

The dad of eight says that, after a vacation to Utah in January with the fam, he stayed behind while Kate flew home -- and that's when he started to finally get his life back.

"That's when I started to just hang out and meet people, and feel free," he told the magazine. "Not too many girls, just with my guy friends. I couldn't do that for nine years. When I came back on the 17th, Kate and I weren't talking. So I just said, 'I'm moving out of the house,' and that was it." 

And though Jon is rumored to be dating someone new pretty much every day, he says his heart belongs to only one -- Hailey Glassman.

"She is a really cool person. We both like snowboarding and sports. She is like the female version of me. She is so caring, kind and open. She is beautiful and glowing, and I love her to death."

Does this change your opinion of Jon at all?

Not at all. He's still a LOSER. Unfortunately, things aren't turning out to be what he had planned. In the beginning, everyone was against Kate, now it seems that everyone is seeing Jon for who he really is and he's trying to back track. And, why did he stay behind in Utah after the family went home??? Why not leave with his family?? Guess he just wanted to party and 'hang out with the guys and not TOO many girls'! Sorry Jon, but when you have 8 kids, you don't get to just 'hang out and meet people, and feel free'. Did Kate get to 'hang out and be free'? I doubt it, she had 8 kids to take care of. I will say it again, LOSER!

He is a loser. I would be as irritated as she always was if I had such a lay-about on my hands. My husband is a partner in our raising the kids rather than what he was. To have so many kids and to have to do all of the work and thinking in the group would wear anyone down!

Michelle said:

No - still kind of a douche.

Just me said:

Have any of you watched the show? If so how can you say that about Jon. Kate has exactly what she wanted her freedom to go out and grab all the attention she can at any cost. Well it cost her plenty. I say go for it Jon may you finally be happy in your life. The kids will know what really happened especially if they ever see the first four years of the show. The rest of you need to get a life and just let that family do what they need to do without being run through the media first.

People ought to mind their own affairs and butt out. Both Jon and Hailey are consenting adults and are entitled to live their life as they choose. My advice to Kate is. Stop beating on yourself and get OVER it. You will only destroy yourself. You are a very pretty woman. There are lots of fish in the sea.

JoAnn said:

Not at all. I believe he should have left her a long time ago. She is a very controlling "person". She yells a lot, she never like the kids to get dirty. THEY ARE KIDS!! Jon tried but all he ever got from Kate was real bitch. he deserves happiness.She didnt like it when he went off on trips, etc but was ok for her. She doesnt think of the family, only herself. How much she can make off of the kids. If it were me and saw it falling apart, I would g=have cancelled the show and tried to get my life back together. I say..GO for it Jon. I we here are behind you.

I never had it in for Jon, always felt sorry for the poor guy! God just watching him sit there looking so miserable all the time while his wife ranted and raved about everything, god just the sound of her voice annoyed me, had to make my daughter turn it off or go in the other room and watch it! & yes I can see that she was a control freak, he probably had to tell her when he had to take a crap from what I saw! Hope your happy now Jon, the whole world doesnt hate you! If they watched the show they could see why you were so miserable and why you left. It didn't take long for another woman to see what a good guy you were, I wonder how long your ex will be single!! LOL

Zoe Chase said:

Jon deserves all the happiness in the world after putting up with that bitch Kate. Did you see how he was treated?????? If you watch the show.......you all would be on Jon's side. I have watched the show from the beginning and I was just applauded how Kate treated Jon like a dog!!!!
So people lay off Jon...he's already had his share of ugliness!
Jon......don't listen to any one but yourself ....you know your a wonderful man and who ever gets you is a very lucky lady~! I wish you nothing but the best......I pray for happiness and love for you and your children! Smile....smile~!
As for your ex.........I'm thinking she will be alone for a very long time. Men out there if you see Kate....Run....run don't look back.

Jon is only doing what "every" male or female does when the marriage goes wrong. Everyone is suddenly forgeting Kate's controlling issues.

She has turned out to be quite an actress, as that is what she is doing "on the filmings).

There are always two sides to a story & noone is perfect but Jon is the honest one of the two. The children have always known that fact.

I wish him & the children the very best in life!

Jennifer said:

Zoe Chase - Of course she will probably be alone for a very long time. She has 8 kids she seems to be raising - ALONE!!! How hard is it to find a guy who would want to take care of 8 kids? Her wuss of a husband even ran out cause he couldn't take it. He's a loser. Obviously all of you who are supporting him must be ok with husbands who are losers.
