You guys may or may not have noticed, but a certain page of this blog has, in the past months, somehow become a de facto discussion board for Jon & Kate Plus 8 fans (and critics). If you don’t believe me, click here and read the comments.

A popular point of discussion over there is a blog called Truth Breeds Hatred, which is supposedly written by the sister of Aunt Jodi, who is married to Kate Gosselin’s brother. If you watch the show, you know that Aunt Jodi was very involved in the first seasons of the show, basically bending over backwards to accommodate Kate’s every babysitting need — sometimes watching all eight of the Gosselin kids, overnight, in addition to her own four children. For free! And then when she didn’t show up in the most recent season, people started suggesting that Kate was bitter because Jodi’s patient and kind mothering skills were making Kate look awful in comparison, and also noting that the producers offered to pay Jodi for appearing on the current season — she had been doing all of this shit for free up until then — but that Kate put her foot down, said “no one gets paid for this show except our family” and booted Aunt Jodi out of the kids’ lives.

The Truth Breeds Hatred blog discusses all this from an insider’s perspective — confirming the rumors and basically painting Kate as the most horrid, despicable, selfish person on the planet. But was the blog really written by Jodi’s sister? Were the things she said about Kate actually true?

Today, Truth Breeds Hatred ran a video clip of Jodi, who seems genuinely crushed by how Kate betrayed her, and confirming that her sister does write the blog, and that it’s the truth.

I kind of hate how fascinated I am to watch all this play out, but I really do love it.

    I love the way this little bunch of coffee clutchers worry so deeply about what Kate doe’s. They write little hate messages all day long. I can tell you all what Kate doe’s. She laughs all the way to the bank It’s people like you who manage to keep her in the spotlight Who has who figured out? Time to make another deposit Katie.

  4. Julie says:

  5. rachel says:

    the comments on usweekly.com are quite funny

  6. Julie says:

    rachel do I have to click anything to get the emails? do you know ?

  7. rachel says:

    I don’t know.

  8. Julie says:

    New layout here ?

  9. rachel says:

    this is interesting. Is that really aunt Jodie, Julie???

  10. rachel says:

    Julie, I just read on Huffington Post that she made 500,000 on Dancing with the stars.

  11. Julie says:

    rachel, looks like we right about her boob job! does she think no one will notice!?

  12. rachel says:

    Ha, ha, Julie. I think that was her 2nd boob job. What does she tell the kids when she has this surgery? I would be totally embarrased telling my kids this. Those poor kids. Has her new show been cancelled yet? I never see any promo's about it.

  13. Julie says:

    Just read the second show is July 11 I think..

  14. rachel says:

    ok Julie thanks. Not that I'll watch it! :)

  15. rachel says:

    Poor Kate got a botched botox job. Does she bring the kids with her when she gets her treatments, manicures, pedicures, hair extentions?????

  16. Julie says:

    rachel did you see her botox face now ? she looks aweful! it was on Us…….. woow

  17. Julie says:

    she is nuts and looks scared with her new face! hahahah she must be insecure about herself to keep having all this work done

  18. rachel says:

    I did see her new face. One of the magazines showed a before and after and she looked fine before. Now who do you suppose is paying that bill? I thought that she was having a hard time financially. Didn't she say that she didn't know how she would feed her kids? OH NO!! I smell a LAWSUIT!

  19. rachel says:

    Julie, did you read that kate is saying that she only had a tummy tuck and no botox or a boob job. Running has gotten in shape. Oh Please!!!!!

  20. I cant believe kate. shes a horrible mom

  21. Gi Diet says:

    The pamela anderson video is really shocking, poor chickens!

  22. rachel says:

    Please tell me that someone else saw Kate’s show on sunday night. It amazes me that this show is still on the air. She was complaining that nothing worked around the house and how difficult it is taking care of 26 acres of land. It was hilarious watching her with the hose. If it is too much for you to handle Kate SELL IT!!!!!

    • Maris says:

      If she sold it, she’d just buy a bigger one, Rachel. Besides, she can’t hire help?? Oh, I forgot, no one else does anything that suits her, not good enough. And no, I can’t stomach any more Kate shows…

      BUT — I do miss you guys! I hate that this site stopped notifying us when a new comment is posted.

      • Julie says:

        rachel, maris , hello! I didnt watcht the show , Ive seen about the the child labor laws… what will happen to her bread winners?

  23. rachel says:

    You should all read the story above on the left hand side of this blog about Kate being screwed for breaking child labor laws. Interesting.

    • Julie says:

      I tried to click it I cant read it. This blog has gotten so much stuff on it now , its not too people friendly :(

  24. rachel says:

    I know Julie it seems like it’s been changing every week in here with a new set up. Well the article basically states that you must be 7 years old to be a tv show and the little kids are only 6. I’m surprised that this is the only place that I have read about this. I’m sure she’ll get off. She’ll just falsh those pearly whites at the judge.

  25. rachel says:

    Julie, check out popeater.com. They said that Kate is the only one not invited to the DWTS reuinion.

  26. Anonymous says:

    Tune in for double the pleasure, double the fun: Kate & kids to go camping with former half-term govenor Sarah Palin! Double the reasons to puke!

  27. Julie says:

    Rachel have you watched her new show at all?

  28. rachel says:

    Julie, I watched a small part of one show when she got chickens. Maddy hasn’t changed at all. I think Kate should really concentrate on her kids rather than being in the public eye. I will watch the upcoming show with Sarah Palin though. Kate is quite the actress. Phony, phony, phony. Have you seen any of them?

  29. Julie says:

    rachel, more gossip about Kate and her body guard…… what do you think? Thi is the second thing in a couple of weeks

  30. rachel says:

    Why is she at the Emmy’s??? She is not a celebrity. She is a money hungry,child abusing, eye rolling *itch.
    No Julie I haven’t heard any recent gossip about her and the body guard. Been out of the loop recently. Just sent our oldest to college and I’ve been a little out of it. I’ll have to catch on Ms. Gosselin.

  31. Julie says:

    rachel, kate was on Regis and Kelly show looked like she now had her teeth done.

    How is it going with the oldest off to college?

  32. rachel says:

    I missed that show. I usually record regis on my dvr but we had a switch over and they got rid of all of my shows to be recorded. I did hear that she said that the kids don’t like going to jon’s apartment. So wasn’t she the reason?
    Things are better thanks. Such a change in the house. So quiet! He’s my chatty one and I really miss him, but he loves college. It’s hard to let go. Thanks for asking Julie. Hope all is well with you!

  33. rachel says:

    Julie, check out radaronline.com Kate and the bodyguard are in Mexico together. I guess she needs protection no matter where she goes (haha).

    • Julie says:

      rachel, I just read some of the comments about her in the store with her twins from radar lots of ppl cant stand her . She is playing with her phone and not paying attention to her twins, the caption is Kate tickled pink about her twins. hmm looks like she is tickled pink about her pink phone..

  34. Julie says:

    I just read her show has been quietly cancelled because Jon wont sign the contracts with TLC so the kids can be on tv. She is addicted to being famous what will she do now?

  35. Julie says:

    So much of her chewing gum with her phone glued to her side at all times. BLAH , she just loves to hear herself talk.

  36. rachel says:

    I just read in the store magazine that she doesn’t care that she stole a married man away from his wife or family. Sounds like her to me!!!

  37. rachel says:

    Julie, did Kate’s show get cancelled? Haven’t heard anything about it, have you??

  41. Julie says:

    rachel, go to Us weekly and see what they say about Kate!

  42. rachel says:

    OMG! Thanks Julie for pointing that out. I don’t go on that web site much any more. What is she doning??? Those poor kids. And what is going on with that so callede body guard. She won’t win mother of the year now!!! Thanks for pointing that out. Hope all is well.

  43. rachel says:

    Julie did you hear that 2 of the kids got expelled from school! This is just the beginning!

    • Julie says:

      Yes Racel Ive read on another site they say she has the stero type of that of Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest and she parralles the movie to a T. She is a narccisist ( sp) someone from her town talks about her all the time and really knows things about her!
      this is the start of the kids going off. We said it along time ago.
      They talked about her and Maddie in Alaska something about shaking her hard? did she? And Sarah Palin wanted to report her or something? Is that what happend?

  44. rachel says:

    Wow! Didn’t hear any thing about the Alaska trip. I don’t watch the show any more actually I thought that it was taken off the air. I’m wondering if Jon will get custody of the kids. I think when they are 18 they can decide which parent they would like to live with. I bet they will choose Jon. Small apartment and no frills yet hopefully some calmness and love.

    Julie, how have you been???

  47. Maris says:

    Hi Rachel, how’ve you been?

  48. rachel says:

    Maris, Doing good, how are you? Haven’t been on this site in months. Guess our famous Ms. Gosselin is yesterday’s news. Which is a good thing. Keeping those innocent kids out of the media is what they need. I do think that she will try to make a come back for the attention and of course the money!! : ) Hope all is well! Do you go on any other chat blogs?

  49. Maris says:

    Hi Rachel! I’m good. I use Facebook & twitter, and an occasional site here & there but nothing like we had going here at one time. That was some fun, huh? Do you ever hear from any of the old gang? Big Daddy kept in touch for a while but got PO’ed at me for something (I forget) and won’t answer emails. Missy emailed me a time or two until she mentioned the Katrina victims in a derogatory manner — and I told her I felt she was wrong, since I’d been a volunteer. Oh well…

    Hey, Kate had (or has?) a show with just her and the kids. I found it channel surfing but couldn’t stand to watch.

    Good to chat with you again! Keep in touch!
