Jon Slams Kate Again: "I Don't Trust Her Anymore"

Monday – September 07, 2009 – 10:53am

 

In a second except of his Good Morning America interview, Jon Gosselin slams estranged wife Kate once again, claiming that her "constant verbal "abuse" caused strife in their 10-year-marriage.

"Our relationship will never be fixed," he tells ABC News' Chris Cuomo. "... I don't trust her anymore. I was abused ... I was beaten down ... I'm not going back to that life style."

Jon, 32, also slams Kate, 34 - whom he says ended their marriage - for spinning a different story to the media about the collapse of their marriage.

"She knows the truth," he says. "I wish to God, she would speak from emotions ... She's not speaking from the heart. Please -- the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV."

Jon says their marriage reached a breaking point when he "stood up to Kate" for the first time, telling her that he wanted to go out with his friends.

"In 10 years, I've never gone out ... When she said, 'I don't want you going out,' I ... I used to say, 'OK, I'm not going to go out.' I was very passive. This is the first time I said, 'You know what? I want to see my friends. I'm going out,'" he says. "That was the first time in my life I ever stood up to Kate ... I just felt like I had to take back some time in my life, and I did it. And I felt really good. I made my own decision ... I was beaten down for so long, I couldn't even make my own decision. And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what's she gonna do? Divorce me? All right. Obviously. You know."

Being married to Kate changed who he was, Jon says.

"My mom and my brothers, they say to me, 'It's so good to have the real Jon back. It's so good to have the warm, loving, kind, caring person that we knew you when you were ... before you got married,'" he says. "I've changed for her. Because I loved her ... But don't forget who you are. That's what happened to me."

Jon says he even tried therapy to make their marriage work, but Kate refused to go.

"I learned about myself. If she's not going to therapy, she's not going to fix herself, then it's not going to work. It takes two people," he says. "I have a $22,000 therapy bill. I mean, I tried to have marriage counseling. I did it myself. She refused to go."

Reflecting on his failed marriage, Jon says, "I felt maybe I was too passive. Maybe I didn't stand my grounds 10 years ago -- even to stick up for my kids. But it's gone. I can't get that back."

"I don't cry, I cried at my dad's funeral. That's it," he says, "but like, I've cried more now in the last, like, eight months than ... my whole entire life."

What does Jon want to say to viewers?

"I just want to let the world know that I'm a real person with feelings," he says. "OK, I've made mistakes. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to go out to the clubs. But we all learn from mistakes, except mine are public."

Watch Jon Gosselin's interview on "GMA," Tuesday, Sept. 8, and more on Primetime: Family Secrets at 10 p.m. ET.

    I don't like either of them and unlike most people on here I believe that it takes two to make a marriage, She was disrespectful to him and he wasn't as supportive as he should have been. They both need to grow up and stop throwing stones and think about the kids.

    "I came home for filming and I didn't have babysitting for one day so I called my babysitter Steph and she came over and watched for filming. She's always available -- like some of her babysitting is always for me." She likes to keep her hand in my pocket and that's alright with me. We love to do the hottub. She gives me all the babbysitting lesson and I learn quite a lot. I hate to have to go back to NY with that dog. She makes me puke a lot. I can't get rid of her and I want to bring Steph to NY.

    Jon didn't get passive for Kate, he was always passive. People don't "turn passive" because they love someone. If he really loved her he would have been himself, not someone he manufactured in response to her. He's just a weak person and doesn't want to admit it. Some people are like that, they are better at taking directions. Jon is no natural leader and he never will be. THat's why their marriage worked at all, when it did. Kate is a natural leader. She tried to get him to lead and he didn't step up.

    Yes Cherry I agree with you. I had a husband who was exactly like Jon...still is with his partying ways. I felt like I was raising another child. I totally get why Kate always bitched at him. I feel such relief now that I have left him. Kate just needs time...she'll be OK.
  • September 13, 2009 - 8:22pm Cherry Says:

    I watched the show, and Jon "NEVER" helped Kate on his own. She always had to ask and direct him in any task because he had no idea on how to do anything without Kate's guidance. He reacted to Kate by rebelling in any form he could. No wonder Kate seemed like a b@tch at times. She was raising 9 kids. and Jon didn't want to be there it was obvious. and he has proven that fact by stating he LOST his twenty's by raising kids?? Kate was a SAINT for tolerating that loser as long as she did.
  • September 13, 2009 - 7:48pm Chrissy Says:

    Did no one ever see the way she treated him on the show? She was horrible to him and I'm sure she was like that when the cameras were off, too. Couldn't stand her then, can't stand her now. Let him get on with life and be with someone who isn't a raging bitch to him.

    ^^^^^^^^^I'm a huge admirer of Kate Gosselin. I've loved the show for a couple of years because the spontaneous cuteness with the children is so precious. Back to Kate -- I've always marveled at how she comes up with unique and brainy ideas to teach the children things, maintain order, and make their lives creative. Can you imagine how crazy that house could be? Yet, the children seem bright and well-trained. She seems like a great mother to me. I remember the moment I lost respect for Jon (although he's always seemed too willing to lay back and let Kate direct the children) The moment was when the family was on an outing to a new place/new city and Kate had all the kids lined up and was walking with them (perhaps to a hotel to check in?). She asked Jon to go up front and "lead the family" and he REFUSED. He stayed at the tail end, leaving Kate to forge the path and determine where to guide the children. What kind of man has to be told to lead the family? What kind of man won't lead the family? Kate was leading all the kids and Jon as well. It was a new place, people were around, it could have been chaos -- but it wasn't because Kate, AS USUAL, stepped up. Bravo. I'm so tired of the game called "Knock the assertive, capable woman" and "Knock the assertive, capable woman who steps up when men fail." She has a lot of weight on her shoulders. The history is that when men don't step up, a woman will -- and she will justly lose respect for him. Don't blame her for her assertiveness, blame Jon for creating the vacuum. I'm sure Kate would much rather have an assertive husband. I BET any amount of money that husband would have been given wayyyy more respect and even deference than Jon. Men have to earn respect from women. He IS a lame fish and more. His behavior since his separation shows how childish and irresponsible he is, which makes me even more partial to Kate. His girlfriends will soon tire of him. Who wants such a whack man?

    Why is ok for the mom to slam the dad but not the other way around? You post feminists GOT IT all wrong. Equal treatment was what we were going after--guess what? She slams him, he slams her, & both have forgotten that it isn't about them but their kids. It's just pitiful to see two people who claimed love for one another at one point to get this bad.

    SEPT 11: 9:02 - LOL - jon has painted himself the victim for years! looking good with kate yelling at him, putting him down - EVERYONE felt for jon - HOWEVER now - people understand why kate did what she did - that is the difference - jon has a personality which makes him easier to like - now they see the side where jon was making faces at kate - hiding behind the children - remembering how he didn't find her attractive anymore after birthing 8 children! making a big deal of having $5.00 for lunch - when most households with children take their lunches - that is $25.00 a week - adds up $100.00 a month! when the divorce papers came jon took a woman to france - maybe if he took kate - he could have helped saved his marriage. jon was too busy playing the victim! and then the next week another women to south hampton! look at all the money he spent on women he couldn't have known long - he is still married - jon called the paps to give the kate agenda! jon wouldn't let kate in to see her children after their daughter called their mother! had another female which was definitely a booty call at home with his children! can't feel for jon - jon nor kate are the victim - it is the children and kate has shown that she has their best interest at heart - get sole custody kate! let jon play.
