Kate Gosselin released the following statement to PEOPLE magazine Monday night:

“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children. While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself. As always, my first priority remains our children.”

Jon released his own statement to the magazine as well:

“This afternoon, Kate filed for divorce. Our kids are still my number one priority. I love them and want to make sure they stay happy, healthy and safe. My job is being the best, most supportive and loving father that I can be to my kids, and not being married to Kate doesn’t change that. This will be a difficult transition for all of us, but Kate and I will work out a schedule that enables our kids to have plenty of quality time with both of us at home in Pennsylvania. In terms of my marriage, it’s no secret that the past six months or so have been very difficult for Kate and me. We are no different than other couples and parents who are facing a crossroads in their marriage. I am of course deeply saddened that we are divorcing.”

I feel bad for the kids, but they decided to put their home life on the national stage and whore out their "cute family" to make money. I have zero sympathy for anything that happens to either of the adults.

I just wish they cared as much about their family as they did about being celebrities.

With Jon paying the outrageous child support Kate will probably ask for (the amount it actually takes + the amount she just wants to have), will he even be able to live in a NY Apartment?

I was amazed at how in denial the both of them were about how much the show is impacting their lives. In their separate interviews they each mentioned how this was basically inevitable and the show had nothing to do with it, aside from accelerating the process a bit. Bullshit. If they focused on just raising their kids rather than having this constant media attention, wanted or not, I don't think they would be in the same situation they are in now. The problem is neither of them are good at communicating at all with the other: Kate just yells and demeans Jon and he just shuts down and says nothing until he can't take it. I used to be more on Jon's side, but after tonight, I can't say I have any sympathy for either of them. He's acting like a petulant little kid.

i wonder if the big announcement would've been that they were quitting the show to work out their marriage, if tlc would've sued them?

Will they have to change the name of the show to "Kate + 8 - Jon"?

My question, how longer are studios and TV networks going to continue milking this shit? I'm sure that right now there is some network out there that is thinking of throwing millions of dollars to Kate to start a show Kate plus 8. Then it will spin-off to Kate trying to find a husband. Then it will go to Kate dealing with rehab. Then Kate trying to mend the relationship with Jon. Then Kate going back to rehab again. Then Kate fighting for custody. And on and on and on.

Don't give them any ideas.
