Jon Gosselin has absolutely been subjected to parental alienation during his divorce. That does not make him blameless and he made some very high profile douchebag moves. During his split he had numerous girlfriends, including various babysitters to his children, the daughter of Kate’s plastic surgeon, a Star Magazine writer (who went to hookup and have children with Jon’s onetime buddy, the very abusive Michael Lohan), and coeds. (I never understood how he pulled so many women with his sad puppydog Ed Hardy act.) So when Jon’s ex wife, Kate Gosselin, says that he changed overnight I believe her. That doesn’t mean I find her blameless either, just that this rings true.
The relationship’s dissolution was still a shock to Kate, who tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue that her ex-husband transformed suddenly.
“I really would have thought he’d have been here for the long haul,” Kate says. “The weirdest thing is that overnight he became a different person.”
Kate, 41, says Jon began buying motorcycles and cars, and staying out late – despite having eight young kids – including sextuplets – at home.
“People closest to me thought I was crazy and making it up,” Kate says now. “When they saw it for themselves, they were like, ‘Whoa.’ They saw the proof – and then I saw all the letters from women saying, ‘I’ve been there, too.’

Kate has a point here. However wasn’t she also sleeping with the family’s married bodyguard back then? Didn’t she make Jon sleep above the garage during that time, leading him to assume they were separated? Her kids only get one father and instead of realizing that and facilitating a relationship with him she pushed him out, making sure that she could keep the children in the media against Jon’s wishes. No one wins in this scenario and I doubt anyone feels sorry for Kate at this point.
I do have to say though that Kate contradicted herself somewhat in this interview. She may have said that she thought Jon would be in it for the long haul but she also told People that she “knew the divorce rate for parents of multiples, especially higher-order multiples, is so high. I’d done the math.” So which was it?
