Jon Gosselin is attempting to shut down production of TLC's Kate Plus 8 by denying permission to videotape his eight children, according to reports.
Through his attorney, Mark J. Heller, Jon, 32, has written two letters to TLC lawyers. In the letters -- dated Sept. 29 -- Gosselin demands the network cease and desist production and leave his property, according to The Insider. On Thursday morning, he even posted a sign outside his family's $1.1 million estate in Wernersville, Pa. It read: "Notice: no film crew or production staff from TLC is permitted on this property under penalty of trespass."

In one of the letters, Jon's attorney writes: "Effective immediately, no production crews are to enter Jon's family home for any reason. In the event that anyone enters the marital property, Jon Gosselin will notify the local authorities to effectuate police action against any trespassers."
According to Gosselin's lawyer, both Jon and Kate, 34 -- who announced they were ending their 10-year marriage in June -- own the home where the show is filmed.

His attorney also tells ET the original agreement between TLC and the Gosselin family "may very well be 'null and void' and unenforceable." But he claims that TLC never secured the special permits required by Pennsylvania Child Labor Law as a "prerequisite" for the Gosselin children's involvement in Jon & Kate Plus 8.

707Now let him pay child support and maintenance for all. He is not taking responsibility at all for his cheating ways. He has no right living in a million dollar condo and driving a sports car unless he can support his kids first. It is all about him, had they not chosen to remove his name from the show, you wouldn't be hearing any of this.
Joh Gosselin is a real piece of work. He gives birth to eight kids and now trys to stip away the money that affords them a life. All because he isn't wanted anymore
His kids must have made the sign...poor spelling [penelty]
Jon Gosselin needs to go back to school and learn how to spell...
Thank god! I personally feal for Jon! Have you ever watched the show from the beginning! She has deserved what she is getting from the Beggining! I would not want to be married to her either! Those poor kids, i would never put my children though that for anything. She has just gotten to money hungry, I hope Jon gets custody! GO FOR IT JON!
Wonderful news! I've been hoping for a long time that they would stop filming the kids. So, whatever Jon's reasons, I'm happy that the 8 children will have the cameras out of their faces. Jon's wanted to end the show for several months now and hooray for him for finally taking steps to do so! At least this way, he and the kids can have some privacy and Kate can film 24/7 if she wants to. BTW, shame on TLC for bashing Jon in the media. Don't they know his twins are old enough to read that on the Internet? Do they realize HE IS THEIR PARENT, NOT EILEEN OR ANYONE ELSE AT TLC????? Build a bridge and get over it TLC - Jon has every right to do this.
Jon is not in this for the money? Bitch lawyer knows what a court order is. Jon will have to post bond with Hailey's tittie and drug money. Hailey, I don't know why Real World wouldn't hire you. How does it feel to be made a fool of by a toad? Excuse me, fat toad.
Jon is the one who destroyed his family, and he continues to hurt them, and the kicker is he says he loves his kids, but his ACTIONS ARE SPEAKING LOUDER. He took his family's everyday account? That was the account Kate used to pay bills, buy groceries,etc. He is the biggest A-Hole. Where is his SHAME??
9:49 Good advice SFU. wow.
Sick of Gosselins. I agree, Jon needs to get off his drunk ass and get a job like all other fathers have. It may be old fashion, but thank you for pointing it out. A real man supports his family before and after divorce. The next court date his lawyer makes(none yet), he needs to show the judge that he is employed and what he makes, so he can support his family. All of Jons dogs out there should see about hiring him where they work. Thanks for bringing it up that he has failed as a man.Most people miss that point.
Jon is really mentally unstable now. If those children need PROTECTION from someone it is their FATHER JON. He can not even speak coherently, he shows that he has very different personalities within. Most of the time Jon is ANGRY. This SEXUAL AGGRESSION he has is a very serious issue and if I was Kate I would demand he only have supervised visitation. those children need to be PROTECTED FROM THEIR BIPOLAR SCARY CRAZY FATHER. HE MAY SERIOUSLY HARM THEM. JON NEEDS HELP PRONTO!!!!
WHO GIVES A SHIT.SMARTEST THING HE HAS EVER DONE. SHUT THE F$$KING CAMERAS DOWN AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY. SHE NEEDS TO KEEP HER A$$ AT HOME AND STOP ACTING LIKE A D PRIMA DONNA. THEY HAVE 8 KIDS, BIG F$$KING DEAL. STAY HOME AND TAKE CARE OF THEM FROM THE MONEY TLC WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO PAY THESE TWO LOW LIFES AND NOW TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS. WHO SAID CAMERAS ARE GOOD FOR THE KIDS HAVE TO BE F##KED UP IN @@ES HOME AND BE PARENTS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. JUST FROM THE SALES OF VIDEOS AND REPEATS THEIR SET FOR LIFE AND EVEN IFTHEY AREN't WHO REALLY GIVES A SHIT. I'M SICK OF THIS FAMILY RUNNING AROUND IN MY TOWN LIKE TWO MORONS CAUSING HAVOC. SEND THEM TO THE MOON FOR ALL I CARE JUST STTFU..
JON IS A UGLY STUPID FAT ASS. HIS BUTTONS ARE POPPING OFF THAT SHIRT?? HA HA. HE LOOKS TERRIBLE BECAUSE HE IS DOING HORRIBLE THINGS TO PEOPLE. HE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AWFUL AND IT WILL GET WORSE FOR HIM AS LONG AS HE KEEPS BEING THE ANGRY VENGEFUL SELFISH ASSHOLE.
What an idiot, he spelled penalty wrong. He's just pissed he got kicked off because he's having some kind of mid-life crisis. He's making an ass of himself.
Jon Gosselin is now The Most Hated Father in America.
sick of lies/ then you and Jon stop telling them. Jon caused all the tabloid headlines. Kate didn't F* Kate Majors, the school teacher, Stephanie, Vegas whores.Oh man, don't forget the clown Hailey. How many covers have been of Kate drunk out of her mind? How many airline tickets to France has Kate asked for so she can take her soul mate with her? TLC made him get the one bedroom apt in new York? TLC made him say he despised Kate on tv? Kate promised some barmaid and her kid to buy them a house? Stop making crap up. You don't like Kate, fine. Don't judge her by what goes on in your house. Pigs don't wake up one morning and become pigs. They are bred and raised to be pigs.
11:19 Are you for real? Go back into the marriage? This fool will not only be divorced, he will be doing himself in one of the crooked houses. He has gone through his money and his future looks bleak. No body will touch this little pig. Now he has representation, he says. They both will need step ladders in court just to see TLC lawyers give them a lesson in contracts. Never get a lawyer who has represented SON OF SAM, he could be looking for publicity while you're in a cell.
i think this is the first time jon has thought of the kids. having there whole life on tv is horrible what do they think is going to happen when there on there own and there is no tv crew following them around.. its tlc fault that there divorce is a soap opera.this is a time when they need privacy. going through divorce is bad enough but to have the whole world watch you go through it is horribble. between the lies and the truth there are things the kids dont need to know but will find out because of tlc..you go jon
Jon did you have a EPIPHANY of me lately? We had such a good time in LAS VEGAS having that ORGY in your Hotel room, You are such a sex crazed freak, I hope you come to VEGAS to see me again soon, I will have a drink and my friends ready for you. wink wink , XOXOXO Peaches
I think everyone needs to mind their own business for awhile and give this family time to repair its wounds!!!!!
