Kate Gosselin: The Kids And I Will Continue The Show

Her estranged husband might want out of their family's reality show, but Kate Gosselin says she she and the kids will continue taping what has been a "source of huge -- for whatever reason -- inspiration for a lot of people," and a huge source of income for her family.

Appearing on Larry King Live Tuesday night, Kate talked about the kids' reaction to their parents' divorce, her police-mediated fight with Jon, her own dating prospects and the fate of the show in future seasons.

You can read a partial transcript of the interview here.

On Jon's claims he would like to quit taping the show:

Jon's opinions and his goals are his. I know that, personally, for myself and the kids, this has been a good experience. It continues to be a good experience...Everyone works. Everyone has a job. Everyone has what they're dealing with. And, generally speaking, this is the most flexible, workable, wonderful job for myself.

On how the kids are coping with the divorce:

And as any child, you know, when their parents are divorcing, the goal is peace and we've achieved that numerous times. The Fourth of July we spent together as a family. My goal is, no matter what the circumstance, no matter what place, you know, one of us is in, my goal is really peace and the best that it can be for the kids.

On how her marriage crumbled after renewing vows in Hawaii just one year ago:

It is a question I ask myself every day. I don't have the answer.

Enjoy Kate and the kids and glad to hear they will continue. Hope Jon is not part of the package. She has a huge job as the single mother of 8. If someone doesn't pay Jon to visit the kids, he probably will ditch them for good so he has more time to entertain himself unless that's where all his toys are stored. He's a real disappointment to say the least.

Where is Gloria Allred, she went after octomom, why not Kate. The kids have already expressed they don't want the cameras there. Exploitation.

She says it's a great experience, but complains about the paparazzi non-stop. Weirdo.

Why is there a show like this in the first place? Why is her life our business? Why is she getting $70,000 per episode? Why is exploiting the kids a good thing? All that the show is about is, Kate taking her kids on free vacations and we watch them vacationing !!!! It is so stupid. Why did Larry King even have her on? Where is quality TV, where is creativity? Its sick!

Calm down, there's plenty of quality TV. Watch Lost.

Well said. It's insane - like the American public is family to this litter. I care about my nephews and nieces, not this crazy family.

I stopped watching the show long before any of the Jon and Kate issues came out. I stopped watching because I couldn't stand seeing the way Kate treated Jon. Then the oldest two girls began displaying so much selfishness, and the temper tantrums, and crying spells got on my nerves, their behavior was worse than the 6 little ones. I don't know what people could learn from the show as far as parenting, but we got a lot of messed up people in this country. The only way Kate will disappear is if TLC and news stop making money from airing and showing her. It's apparent all you people who rag on her are still watching her, or she would disappear. I still can't go to the grocery store without seeing her picture on a gossip newspaper at the checkout counter. That is not her fault, that is your fault. I think it's time Kate is able to see the end results of all her greed and selfishness...so stop watching the show and buying the papers.

For some one who is not at fault she sure does make the circuit.. Today Show, Larry King Live, Regis..So when does she take responsibility for her end in all of this? If she would shut up we would all be more then happy to listen .....

Of course she will continue to do the show, how else is she going to pay for her lifestyle with that huge divorce settlement from Jon.

[LittleRedHenSez]

Divorce settlement from Jon????? More like the other way around.

[ccpostman]

Without the show she would melt like the Wicked Witch!

No more tv and fame would drive her nuts. You can tell she is totally hooked on the publicity.

Seems pretty clear that Jon needs to dump his anger: http://www.jonandkateprayers.com/2009/08/dump-your-anger-jon.html

Kate Gosselin is pathetically addicted to stardom. She pathological addicted to continuing a venture that has destroyed her marriage and could adversely effect her children's future.

It is her bread and butter, how else is she going to feed all of those kids? Imagine her going to work nine to five, who will look after them, and how much will it cost?

I just wish that with all the money she obviously spends on herself, she would invest in a decent hairstyle, that hair is redoncolous.

[DeeDeeDaGumby]

I wonder how much the residuals for the show would be if it did go off the air.. They still have not sold the other house.. And she is an RN who said on Larry King she loved to work in nursing. There are other ways to "feed" the kids besides making them work for their own bread and butter.

So the only way for a large family to survive is to go one a reality TV show...so what did large families do before reality TV?

[Nor Cal Mom]

04:57 PM on 08/27/2009

She was able to pay for fertility treatments before having a TLC program. Those cost an arm and a leg.

What this woman is doing is outright child abuse. One or more of these kids is bound to grow up abnormal because of this upbringing.

Remember the movie "The Truman Show"? Her kids are living the Truman Show.

Kate's happy to pimp out her kids as long as the free plastic surgery and unflattering PR comes rolling in. Some people will take their fame and perks any way they can get them, even if in doing so they end up looking like a psychotic Mommie Dearest.

[Nor Cal Mom]

04:59 PM on 08/27/2009

Just like Dinah Lohan.

[cinemaven]

08:43 PM on 08/26/2009

Watching her now, all I can think of is when she made the rounds of Dr. Phil, Larry King and Oprah to talk about how terrible the mom of the octuplets was, how happily judgemental she was.

I don't think pimping your kids out for money is ever a good idea, especially when their life is in such turmoil.

[giantsteps]

I am getting rid of my TV.

[Nor Cal Mom]

That's a good idea.
