Now Kate is a reality t.v. show star and Jon is remarried with custody of 2 of the sextuplets.

I think Jon is bitter towards Kate. He wanted the divorce and I think he underestimated her star power and Kate's ability to support herself. I think he really thought that when he ended his involvement in the show that would be the end of it for Kate, too. They would become "normal" people again, figure out custody, split up assets...and go live there regular lives as regular people. He tried to go under the radar but Kate kept herself (and the kids) in the spotlight. Maybe he's come to terms with the fact that he is never going to have a normal life again, he'll always be recognizable...so now he can talk again. Might as well make the best of it.

Something wrong with a woman who needs all those kids.

BINGO.

More than two kids? You have a problem.

Troll. Plenty of normal people have three kids. Kate was just unusual in that her fertility treatments gave her 6 babies rather than the 1 she was seeking.

Jon works fulltime in IT now.

Kate isn't a reality TV star. She desperately wants to be one, hence the fact she illegally filmed her children, but that ship has sailed. No one cares.

Jon isn't remarried. He has a long term girlfriend.

He didn't want the divorce. He wanted to quit the show, and Kate basically said...show or divorce. TLC offered him literally millions of dollars to stay married for the sake of the TV show.

He's talking now because a 10-year gag order on him has been lifted. And because his ex-wife dumped their 11 year old son in a psychiatric facility for years and refused to tell him where he was.

It sounds like he gave Kate an ultimatum. Quit the show/lose their income OR divorce him. Jon actually was the one calling the shots. He could have said that he wanted to greatly reduce his involvement or eliminate himself entirely from the show without divorcing Kate. But Jon was basically demanding that she quit the show, too, or he did not want to remain married.

Kate chose to stay on the show and continue to bring in the money that supported their children. Jon ran off and started sleeping around and playing the single guy. Oh, I remember well how he behaved...

+1 He’s not the victim; he was a baby man and wasted no time getting wasted at bars and sleeping around post separation. Moreover, for those disturbed by profiting off kids, Jon was happy to do so unless the downsides of marriage and parenting got too much for him.

There were rumors that she had extraneous fertility drugs shipped to a PO box (Clomid maybe?). Kate has denied all rumors of the sort.

Gosh I'd love to watch Jon & Kate again. I don't care for most TLC reality shows but I devoured this one.
