TLC eventually removed Gosselin from the show and renamed the program as “Kate Plus Eight.” After being removed from the program, Jon Gosselin sued the network for damages for breach of contract. In December 2009, the network won a preliminary injunction for the breach of contract suit. TLC defended themselves saying that Gosselin breached his contract when he appeared on numerous talk shows after all of the negative press he received.

Gosselin countered saying he had a right to use his media personality to earn a living and that the network violated Pennsylvania’s child labor laws when they filmed his children. Apparently, TLC and Gosselin have finally found a settlement, although the terms are held confidential.

The former couple attended a hearing this past weekend to negotiate the final details.

As a sing of truce Jon even brought Kate some roses.

“This has been called the real-life War of the Roses,” Jon’s attorney Mark Heller told People, “and he brought that as a peace offering to break the ice and try to bring the war to an end.”

However, our readers all agree, the roses were “too little too late”

I think Jon deserves another chance. Lets be honest, Kate wasn’t exactly a loving wife. Both of them need to think hard about what has occured since starting their reality show. Honestly I blame TLC and anyone who profited off their family for this mess. Even if Kate don’t forgive him, he’ll find someone else.

Oh Jon, that whole rose thing was just TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. That really goes to show that you don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone

Jon is a typical man and let the money and success go to his head. He now realizes that the money goes where the children go and he will not be the custodial parent and therefore he is trying to make up with Kate to keep his money train going. Don’t fall for it Kate, let Jon see that those young girls will leave when the money is gone. Jon is an idiot!

Jon is trying to kiss up, so he would loose everything. He deserves nothing…Typical male after a blunder like the one he has made.

Had they had Jesus in their life, the situation would have never took the path that it did. The kids should be the main focus not who did what to whom. They both screwed up and they both need to accept that and work together to show the kids that it is possible to divorce and still get along regardless of the past or present.

I agree with what Dee Dee posted. Mariage takes three with God at the top and the partners below. I don’t care who you are marriage takes work, and forgiveness from time to time. Neither of them are perfect. Before this devorce is over they should attend A Marriage Encounter weekend. That will change everything if they allow the Lord to be first in their lives.

Waaay too little, too late. If I were Kate, I’d never trust that man again. He’s proven repeatedly that he lies whenever he thinks it benefits him. People like this don’t change..he’s a babyman who will cheat on her again, and thinks nothing of ignoring his children in favor of cheap, slutty tramps who’ll play other games. Let him rot!

Kate is such a bi**H, good for jon to go have fun with some girls, that doesnt define the type of father he is. I hope he receives majority custody and the money because it was only obivious that Kate was the one trying to become some kind of star.

Hopefully all the ugliness can be put aside for the children sake, after all they were once very much in love. People change not always togrther. Peace to all;especially the children.

It seems strange he would have the nerve to offer her roses,nice thought ,but wrong timing.I think Jon needs to grow up a bit more and be a more responsible person to his family and kids.I wish them all the best in their future and happiness for their kids and of course for kate also who is a wonderful mother and lady.

Is TLC kidding? Kate can’t carry a show without Jon to bounce off of, she is awkward and boring by herself. Shamefully the 8 are her only claim to fame and her priorities should lie with them not
making more money/fame running around the country
saying she puts them first. What a hippocrit!

An ugly bunch of half-dead roses wrapped in plastic wrap. What divorcing wife wouldn’t be thrilled to have a publicity stunt like that?

“The War of the Roses” would have been a good pun for his publicity-seeking handlers. He should have had them stuffed where the sun don’t shine instead of just politely declined.

Considering that their show afforded them opportunities, and the financial wherewithall to purchase a $1,000,000+ home, Jon should have been doing all he could to protect that source of revenue, not cut his nose off to spite his face by shutting down production. Those children are used to having the production crew around, know they are safe when they are around, and as previous shows have indicated, Jon and Kate can rely on them to keep an eye on the kids while they are shuttling them back and forth between hotel room, restaurants and the like. I hope Kate is successful with Kate Plus 8 so the family doesn’t have to move back into a 3 bedroom home or apartment and try to make ends meet on the salary of a registered nurse!! And, what contribution is Jon able to make for child support when he is unemployed (as he has been for quite some time) and spending all his time and money on his “babes.” As for his parenting skills, my personal opinion is he only spends time with the kids when it MIGHT improve someone’s personal opinion of him.

Too little to late. I do think they both made errors, but Kate seemed remorseful after a bit. She has handled this with a little more dignity than Jon.

Jon apology sounds rehearsed and why now after all the goofyness? No Moolah…. No Mon no fun… Nobody wants to pay him mega bux for his blunders.

While I think both were in the wrong for their break-up, I think this is a case of “too little, too late”. He wants the status of the party celebrities and all the money, but blocked her from continuing to make a living to support her kids, as she has done in the past. I think she was justified in turning down the “gift”.

After months and months of back-and-forth battling, Jon and Kate Gosselin are almost divorced.

After slamming his now ex wife Kate Gosselin, in the press, hitting on younger girls at bars and basically making a fool out of himself, the fallen reality star attempted a peace offering during a five-and-a-half-hour arbitration hearing on Saturday.

Us magazine reports that Jon presented Kate with a bouquet of roses, which she refused, when they both appeared at a Pennsylvania courthouse.

“It was a positive move in the right direction for us to bring them together to the mediation table,” Jon’s lawyer told People magazine.

“Obviously before two warring parties can smoke the peace pipe, they have to sit down at a table and address the issues that brought them to the skirmish.”

The forum couple were there to discuss custody of their twins and septuplets as well as the division of assets, says the magazine. An arbitrator will rule within 30 days, which means the two could finalize a divorce by the end of the year.

The final episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight airs tonight on TLC, with the debut of Kate’s new series, Kate Plus Eight, set to launch in the spring.

What do you think of Jon’s gesture?

Jon Gosselin Offers Roses To Kate

He openly admitted that he was wrong in dealing the situation the way he did and regrets it. In another comment, Jon stated that he made mistakes in his relationship with Kate and does not want to repeat the same mistakes that he did in his relationship with Hailey.

I do not want to be a failure in my relationship with Hailey, Jon said. On the other hand, Hailey Glassman said that Kate was abused by Jon through his mantrums. She also admitted that Jon lied in his interview with The Insider and she does not know why she is still with him.

In another comment, Hailey said that Jon has been really rude to her and that she would not want to be emotionally abused by him. She said that she cries when he puts her through such.

Jon, in his reply, said that he is proud that Hailey was brutally honest and said what she had in her mind. Hailey also added that Jon lied to his family and danced around it, but she still loves him.

Jon backed this statement and said that he loves Hailey more than Kate. He also said that he and Hailey have decided that they are going to take some time on their own. During this time, he will get together with his children in Pennsylvania and finalize the divorce proceedings and take things slow with Hailey.
