Kate Gosselin Reveals Heartbreaking Impact of 'Ugly' Divorce on Kids
KATE GOSSELIN SPEWS THE TEA: EX-HUSBAND JON'S DIVORCE DRAMA CONTINUES TO HAUNT HER EIGHT CHILDREN
In a shocking revelation, Kate Gosselin opened up about the lasting impact of her highly publicized divorce from ex-husband Jon on their eight children in a recent TikTok live session. The reality TV star, 50, didn't hold back as she shared her side of the story and spilled some major tea.
It's no secret that the couple's messy divorce was one of the most dramatic celebrity splits in history. But Kate revealed that it wasn't just the two of them who suffered – their children were also left to deal with the fallout. "I don't know if you have kids or not, but I made decisions based on how I would want to be treated," she candidly shared. "And I didn't buy into all the drama and hate, and the ugly. And I had kids involved, so I wanted it to be as peaceful for them as possible."
Kate went on to explain that her goal was to keep things civil and not stir up trouble during the divorce proceedings. However, she admitted that there were some things that were outside of her control, which ultimately didn't turn out well for their children. "A lot of things happened that I could not control that did not turn out well for my kids," she said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
But what really got our attention was when Kate dropped the bombshell that she had to spend a small fortune on lawyers during their custody battle. She joked about being "drug into court constantly" and how it cost her a pretty penny. "College funds which I am proud to say covered all of their college and more and LAWYERS," she quipped, leaving us wondering just how much money was spent on those costly lawyer fees.
Of course, this isn't the first time Kate has spoken out about the drama surrounding her divorce. In fact, just last month, she pushed back against allegations made by her son Collin regarding their family estrangement. When a fan asked about the situation, Kate responded with a simple yet telling "He knows why."
Collin, 21, had previously accused his mother of horrific abuse, claiming that she would lock him up in the basement and zip tie his hands and feet. Kate, however, has consistently maintained that her son's allegations are unfounded.
But what's really got everyone talking is Kate's recent TikTok live session where she shared some behind-the-scenes glimpses into her life as a home healthcare nurse. When asked why she was working 12-hour shifts, Kate matter-of-factly replied, "Honestly? Providing for 8 kids." Ouch!
It seems like Kate is still dealing with the aftermath of her messy divorce and custody battle all these years later. But one thing's for sure – we can't help but be impressed by her strength and resilience.
As fans continued to flood the comments section with support, one admirer shared a heartfelt message: "Looking back now, I can see how you were portrayed as the villain and you weren’t. I apologize for ever thinking that." Another fan chimed in, saying "I recall disliking you, but now I feel like that is because of how you were portrayed on that damn show! I see how normal you are and now that I'm a mom I GET IT!! You are literally all of us Mom's and I'm here for it!!!"
It seems like Kate Gosselin has finally found her voice – and we're all ears.
