Jon Gosselin says he didn't leave estranged wife Kate high and dry by emptying cash from a shared account.

"I've never taken any money out because over ten years, Kate handled all the banking," he says on an episode of The Insider to air Monday night.

"Over the past four years of doing the show, we accrued $2,250,000. She says in the past week I took $230,000," he says. In fact, Kate said on the Today show that he'd taken the money out between Aug. 10 and Sept. 29.

"I have withdrawn roughly $177,000 over the course of a year, which is less than 10 percent of what we made. That's like my paycheck," he continues.

Jon, 32, says Kate's claims are "a total fabrication. I withdrew $22,000 last Thursday. I have the paper trail to prove it."

The dad of eight says he believes Kate is "incriminating herself and not thinking clearly. She's wanting me to look bad."

Jon says Kate should have no problem paying the bills. On the Today show Monday morning, she said she didn't have enough money to mail bills in her handbag; a few hours later, she called into The View to declare she'd take a job at McDonald's to support the kids if she had to.

Says Jon: "She's hiding money. We have 11 bank accounts. That was just our joint account. She had a best-selling book. Where's that million dollars?"

Look back on Jon and Kate's happier days

Despite appearing on a TV show to discuss their monetary woes, Jon insists, "I didn't want these things to come public. I didn't want this to be embarrassing for her."

    I am so sick of hearing how Jon took all the money when Kate has control of 10 other accounts. Why does she feel she needs so much money. Their are so many people living in tent cities around the country as discussed on Oprah, why does Kate feel she has to live such a lavish life style. Please grow up and get a life !!!!!!!!

    In the past month Kate has spent more time in NY than Jon has. I just wish one of these two idiots would spend time with the children.

    Jon, here's a lesson in Econ 101. You made 2.5 million, then the tax man came along and probably chopped that almost in half. Then you pay TWO mortgages, one on a 1.2 million dollar house and another on a $700k house. You have Mercedes, and BMW's. You have tuition for 8 kids. You have all the regular expenses that a family incurs. Then there's the $177,500 you spent in the past year all by yourself. Do you really think there's going to be any more liquid than about $230,000 after all those other expenses? Are you really that stupid? Or do you think I am?

    who gives a shit

  • October 07, 2009 - 9:58am Get off my TV

    Both Jon and Kate are money hungry. Kate thinks she can get a talk show. Both are dumb and not interesting. I certainly would not take ANY advice from her. Another thing, while these 2 goofs are galavanting around the US, who has the kids? Hey Kate, you could take them to the Statue of Liberty without the cameras (heaven forbid!) These two are blowing money like crazy. Kate has 3 law firms, PR people, body guard, nannies, cooks, gardners, someone to clean her clutter, the list goes on and on. Do the kids have body guards? The little cash cows could be snagged in a New York minute. To both: Live within your means, neither one of you will sustain your supposed super star images. Downsize, sell your freebies, sell the apartment in NY and be reasonable (if possible), sell the 1.1 million and move back into the house that has not sold. Kate, it shouldn't be that crowded, one less person there now!

    I DO NOT GET THIS DRAMA ABOUT THE KIDS BEING FILMED FOR A TV SHOW? There are HUNDREDS of KIDS on REALITY TV shows.(((Hundreds and Hundreds)). WHY IS IT OK FOR those Kids and NOT OK for the GOSSELIN KIDS? The ones who started this , where the jealous mothers sitting at home seething with jealousy every time Kate got to go somewhere or got some materialistic thing for free that they couldn't get or afford. ALL YOU JEALOUS HAGS NEED TO LEAVE KATE and those kids alone. If they like to be FILMED so what? And if you don't like it. DON'T WATCH. GO VOLUNTEER AT A HOSPITAL or something instead of tearing down a mother and her 8 KIDS.
