Jon and Kate Gosselin have come under fire or revealing their split on their reality show Monday.
“We’re just so heartbroken and sad about the announcement that they made — an announcement that could be so life-shattering to a young child,” Kate’s brother, Kevin Kreider, tells Radar Online. “And it was used as a teaser, used to gain ratings, without any regards for my nieces and nephews. It was really hurtful. We were really sad to see that.”
“I do feel bad for the children,” added the couple’s former neighbor, Denis. “Hopefully they will be civil and everything for the kids sake. He needs to get away from her and run as fast as he can. The kids are the ones who will suffer, and that is the sad part.”
“Jon thinks ‘it is a shame what the world has come to’ with the paparazzi surrounding his $1.1-million home that he would not even have without that very public attention. Now that the charade is over, maybe the remaining 30 percent of the viewers still watching will realize no one should be taking life advice from Jon or Kate. I won’t be lining up for an autographed book anytime soon,” said Jon’s former Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School classmate Dominick Fabrizio.
Meanwhile, production has been halted on Jon & Kate Plus 8 following news of the split, network TLC has announced.
TLC says next Monday’s episode will feature a clip package with some new footage, but the next all-new episode won’t air until August 3. The Los Angeles Times says the decision came from the network — not the family. Only six episodes of the 40-episode season have aired. Through tears on Monday’s show, Kate declared “the show must go on!”
