Kate Gosselin Sobs About Kids, Brother

The Gosselin press circuit continues as Kate cries on TV Thursday and Friday, as seen here in a still. Part of her anger is directed at her brother for testimony he gave Wednesday.

Kate breaks down in tears to Inside Edition's Jim Moret as she also talks about being away from her eight kids in Pennsylvania for Dancing with the Stars.

From the press release:

Gosselin: "My job takes me away from them and it's not easy to let somebody else pick them up from the bus stop...It's hard, it's really hard."

Usually after DWTS has wrapped for the week, Kate takes a red-eye flight home. But this week, she's promoting her new book I Just Want You to Know.

Jim Moret: "What do you want people to know about you after they read this book?"

Gosselin: "That I am a mom with a really huge heart...and that I'm not the monster I'm painted to be."

Gosselin also reacts to complaints against her by her brother and sister-in-law who went before child labor officials yesterday claiming Kate's kids were exploited during filming of Jon and Kate Plus Eight.

Jim Moret: "Do you feel at all betrayed by your brother for prompting that hearing?"

Gosselin: "I do actually because he has four children of his own...Spending time in court and gallivanting to New York to complain about me...couldn't he be at home with his kids?"

Kate reacts to specific complaints made by her brother in regards to an infamous "potty training" episode, in which a camera filmed the children toilet training.

Gosselin: "He knows the truth. And they've made a lot of money going out and complaining about us... I guess the money has run out because they are out complaining again. The truth is I haven't allowed them to see my kids in two years."

wow! i am shocked by all the vicious comments made towards kate. nobody...and i mean nobody knows the shoes she has been walking in. so, how is it that some random person can past judgement on her? yes...i admit that based on the episodes that i have watched...she did tend to be a whole lot harsh on her hubby, but can you blame her? she has 8 kids to care for!!! i know with the 2 that i have...i am always and constantly thinking of at least 10 steps ahead for their future, so that they don't fall into potholes if i can help it. maybe...to give kate the benefit of the doubt...jon was not at the same capacity as kate was and he was lacking in many areas of raising the children to the best of their potential and in her mind that fustrated her.

)regardless...we are all human and we all make mistakes. she is trying to raise her 8 children the best she knows how to and if it means being in the limelight...then so be it! how else do you expect for her to afford to raise her 8 kids? anybody out there who has at least 8 kids...please comment on her lifestyle. only then will i consider your opinion... otherwise, everyone else...just shut it!!!!

I decided to have more kids than my husband wanted - and risked carrying all 6 fetuses even though it would be them that had the handicaps and retardation, not me - AND never mind that I couldn't afford to feed them all!!! Then I belittled and emasculated my husband in front of millions of people - BUT I AM THE VICTIM IN ALL OF THIS!!! Poor me, I feel so sorry for me!!!!

I had to stop watching because she treated Jon so bad. I was hoping he would grow a pair.

She is hoping the tears and hair distract from her wooden legged dancing. Her book should be called My life as a dancing oak.

ENOUGH of this woman and the HP's obsessive coverage of her every insignificant peep. She's on today's Entertainment page three times! Give her a private page and get rid of her.

I think that the real question is, what defines "provide"? We "provide" for all 7 of our children under the age of 7 - yes, we had a set of multiples in there - and we both work full-time and we also have a part time job. Yes, we use childcare as we need too, but we also flex schedules, compress work weeks and work varying times/shifts. The kids share bedrooms, ride in 10 year old mini-vans, and go camping for an annual vacation. I would imagine, they are a whole lot less stressed than the Gosselins. One thing I pray for my kids is that they grow up without a sense of entitlement for material possesions or special perks. What strikes me about KG is HER sense of entitlement --- she is not talented, not insightful and offers little to the world of entertainment - yet somehow, she has branded herself as a "super mom" - and seems to think that her rock star life is her due, because she has a large family. She is exploiting her children for financial gain - not neccesity. This woman has created a lifestyle that she is not willing to give up and instead of just saying she enjoys working in the entertainment field, she cries tears over the fact she is a "single" mother with 8 mouths to feed and therefore has no other option. The rest of us moms with lots of kids are out here too....doing just fine living

Gotta love those little rivulets of snot trickling down into her mouth :)

She's only crying because she now knows how universally disliked she is. Pathetic woman.

This woman is as selfish as they come. She's admitted that her mouth ran her husband off because she "likes control".

She's juming up and down about wanting custody of her kids yet she's across the country weekly. She leaves the kids to go to book signings.

These kids are stuck between a selfish, controlling mother and a mental midget of a dad.

I supported Kate initially, and through her divorce from the immature and lazy Jon. However, she seems to turn on the tears when she senses public sentiment is against her. I can empathize with her feeling of being stabbed in the back by her own brother and still don't understand what his and Jodi's end game is in all this, but Kate doesn't really seem any more or less egotistical than most Hollywood-wannabe types. She's got a big family and she's trying to earn as much as she can to take care of them. I would probably do the same. However, I know she misses her kids when she's away, but that's the visitation agreement they settled on. She needs to grow up, stop the waterworks, do her job, and spare the rest of us the histrionics because her situation is waaaaaaaay better than most in this country at the moment.

Now, that, I can agree with.

To the posters that said they don't want to hear it anymore... why'd you click the link?

She's a liar, a monster, a shrew . . . . She was shopping for a reality TV show before the kids were even BORN. She wanted the ATTENTION all along.
-
Kate you loser, soon enough you're kids will be able to look back on this and will hate you. Cameras will follow them for life - "Gosselin kid in rehab - again, Gosselin kid gets drunk, Gosselin kid marries at 17, etc., etc.,

At least they can make money on Mommy Dearest Nightmare books, you horror of a mother.
