The sad saga continues, and now TLC wants to put a muzzle on Jon, because he is talking too much.
TLC alleges Jon Gosselin has violated his contract with paid and unpaid TV appearances he recently has made. The network claims it has lost more than $30,000 as a result of Gosselin’s alleged disregard of his contractual obligations.
Seems like Jon has a confidentiality agreement that prohibits him from being paid to divulge inside information about the show. It is reported that he has made a deal to be paid by the tabloid show ”The Insider” to provide them with exclusive interviews about his divorce, and the status of the TLC series, which is a direct conflict of interest.
CNN is reporting this…
Mark Heller, Jon Gosselin’s attorney, said that neither he nor his client have been served any documents; Heller said he read the complaint on the Internet.
“Apparently, TLC has elected to initially litigate this case in the court of public opinion …. because neither Jon nor I have been served with legal pleadings or informed by TLC of the instant litigation,” Heller wrote in the statement, calling TLC’s claims “weak, feeble and baseless.”
“Discovery and TLC has treated Jon Gosselin like a dog by attempting to keep him on a leash and muzzle him and deny the father of eight the opportunity to earn a livelihood to support his family,” Heller wrote in the statement.
Heller said that Jon will “vigorously defend against the baseless’ action.”
It’s unclear when either of the Gosselins will return to television after “Jon & Kate” becomes part of reality TV history.
Let us hope for the sake of their family and ours, that they will not.
We can only hope.
