"The woman who set blogs ablaze last week for stepping out with Jon Gosselin has come forward to say that there's absolutely nothing romantic going on between her and the married reality star of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8. "We're just friends," Deanna Hummel, 23, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It's absurd that anyone would think otherwise." According to Hummel, she met Gosselin through a mutual pal a couple of months ago. Since then, the two have been hanging out – as part of a group of friends, not as couple. The social outings have included visits to each other's houses and nights out on the town, but always with others there, and it's always all innocent, according to Hummel. "We just talk and socialize, the normal things you do when you see friends," says Hummel. Hummel admits that the two did show up at Legends Bar in Reading, Pa., recently, but says a published photo of her driving Gosselin's car has been misinterpreted. "He just got this new car and I wanted to drive it. I'm into cars," she says. "We all have guy and girl friends. Because of who he is, it gets portrayed the wrong way, and it's unfair to him and his family." She also adamantly denies that Gosselin called her "babe" while heading to his car. "He did not by any means call me 'babe,' " she says. "Nobody calls me babe. That made me laugh." What she doesn't find funny, though, is being linked to a married man. "He's a very nice guy, don't get me wrong. But he's married with eight children," says Hummel, who is single. She adds that Gosselin "has a great family life. I would never ever think to pursue anything." After reports broke last week that Gosselin had been spotted out late at night with a woman who is not his wife, he released a statement saying he'd shown "poor judgment." "My family is the most important thing in my life and it kills me that these allegations have hurt them," he added. Has Jon been treated unfairly?"

bttt because i'm hoping punchmonk has seen this!

oh my. I guess I have learned that you do not hang out one on one with the opposite sex if you are married. I hope this article is true. I do know that being human, things can go places you don't want them to so I try to avoid those. I do hope he is always with a group.

Just my opinion, guise.

"Kate Gosselin of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 is speaking out for the first time about her husband Jon Gosselin -- who, according to the new issue of Us Weekly, has been having a three-month affair with a 23-year-old school teacher. Despite photos, video and on-the-record interviews, Kate said on the Today show Thursday, "I'm very hesitant to believe any of it. It goes with the territory." Look back at Jon and Kate through the years Kate -- who was on the show to promote her new book, Eight Little Faces -- added that she takes all the stories with "a grain of salt" since "people are being paid to talk." (Us Weekly paid no one for their interviews.) But she declined to address the issue further, telling Meredith Vieira, "We're dealing with it privately. It's kind of ironic since we do have a reality show and people see the good, the bad and the ugly. But there are those things we keep to ourselves, and we're working through it together, and that's the important thing." See more controversial celeb couples Jon was supposed to appear on the show with his wife and their eight children, but he canceled at the last minute to stay home with the kids. Instead, Vieira read a statement: "These allegations are false and just plain hurtful. As I adjust to the attention that comes from being in the public eye, I need to be more careful and aware of who I am associating with and where I am spending my time. But the bottom line is, I did not cheat on Kate. I am sorry for putting my family in this awkward position, given some poor decisions and bad judgment I've made recently. I am working through this difficult time with my family. My family is my top priority." See more unforgettable celeb scandals For now, Kate said, "Our kids are centrally in our focus, they always have been. They are very much loved, very well cared for...that will be how it's going to be." She later added, "We're not perfect. I don't have all the answers... We're doing our best and learning how we go." "We just need to weather this storm," she said, "just like all the other storms we've been through." See the ugliest celeb splits of all time In the latest issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now), five people close to the situation - including two relatives of the other woman - confirm that Jon has been having an affair with third grade school teacher Deanna Hummel. One of those people: Deanna's brother, Jason Hummel, who went on the record to try to protect his "naive sister." "She's a nice girl, not a home wrecker," Jason told Us Weekly. "This isn't healthy for her. But she is refusing to help herself, so here I am trying to help her myself." Although Deanna denies her brother's claims, a video clip shows Jon leaving the Reading Pennsylvania, home Deanna shares with her brother around 7:30 a.m. on March 13. (This is a month before Jon and Deanna were first photographed together leaving a local bar, Legends Lounge.) "[They] pretty much stay locked away like two teenagers," Jason told Us Weekly of Jon's visits. "It was weird. He's a grown man." TLC was asked twice by Us Weekly to comment on the story and refused; Deanna also declined to comment multiple times before publication. Although he has denied an affair, Jon has admitted to being seen out late at night at a local bar with Deanna. "Like most people, I have male and female friends and I'm not going to end my friendships just because I'm on TV," he said in a statement. "However, being out with them late at night showed poor judgment on my part." Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!"

the only thing that i can hope that this situation brings is Kate realizes what a bitch she is, and she's been treating him like crap. maybe they'll actually fix things and it'll get better....

There are also rumors linking the mother of 8 to her silver-haired bodyguard, nicknamed Mr. Gray. And with money-grubbing Kate out promoting her book, Eight Little Faces, Jon is left either locking himself up in the bathroom for a quick wank session or going out to meet women "because Kate has given him the cold shoulder."

Another update on Perez

Quote :

"Hard ass bitch Kate Gosselin has been making the rounds to all the major media outlets letting them know her opinions about her husband's alleged affair. Her most recent interview was Wednesday night on Larry King Live. During the program she read a a written statement from her husband, Jon Gosselin ,as well as explains what Jon is guilty of: "I am not a celebrity…I am a mom and a wife. And I feel that Jon is having difficult times realizing that, you know, you can't go to the grocery store without people whipping out their cell phones, calling everyone they know and taking pictures of you. He is dealing very poorly with it." So, basically, he's a tool who doesn't realize since he is on T.V., people will recognize them. Got it. As for the future, Kate says that she chooses "happiness. And I choose to survive anything." We'll see about that!"

http://perezhilton.com/2009-05-08-kate-gosselin-disses-husband-jon-on-tv


And, from the King interview:

Quote :

"Despite her drama being unfolded in the public, she said is not sorry she signed up for their TLC show, for which she earns an estimated $50,000-$75,000 per episode. "I look at life as a glass half full is my attitude," she told King. "And I feel like we have learned a lot, the kids have gained a lot. We have benefited a lot. And life lessons is -- you will see in our show. And this is full of life lessons." "Life happens," she went on. "And, you know, we all have to react to what happens to us. And I choose happiness. And I choose to survive anything." She doesn't even mind criticism that she sometimes appears aggressive and mean toward her husband on camera. Asked if she controls editing, she told King, "We do not. That's why those episodes still air." "Once it's filmed, it's in the can ... it's airable," she went on, adding that she'll only ask scenes to be edited if they're inappropriate "from the kid's standpoint." "But as far as myself, I don't know that I've ever asked that anything be changed about me, because I don't really care about me, she said. "I'm protecting the kids.""

Welcome AlliePaige!
I am grateful you are joining in on LunaK and my little ramblings that initially started via PM.
Thanks for the updates. Any links to the Larry King segment?

and yes....I care about this family I have no attachment to.

5/8/2009 4:09:23 PM

I used to watch this show all the time. Even DVRed it just in case I missed it if it came on.

For some reason I just stopped watching it. I love those little kids though...they are so freakin' cute. Well, Not so much Mady and Cara. I almost feel bad for them but they are so annoying and whiny. Hopefully the younger kids won't start being that way for awhile yet.

Anyway, back to the scandal. In the older episodes it seemed like they were so busy with work and the kids and their activities that they wouldn't have had time to even think about a social life let alone an affair. But now they have more money and the kids are at school and Kate is doing more public things like going on talk shows and writing books. I still can't really see a hard core affair going on...but really, 8 kids is a lot of strain and Jon and Kate and not that old (He turned 30 recently and she's actually pretty young to have so many children) so it of course has all the makings to lead to an affair.

It's just really sad though.
and totally addicting. I wish we had some proof either way.

there. that's my 2 cents.

^Oh, and couldn't find a link to the King clip on Perez.

[Edited on May 8, 2009 at 4:18 PM. Reason : 4]

I turned to TLC tonight and no re-runs. I was kind of surprised.

^ I think you're right on the whole too much time on their hands. And since she's such a bitch, I'm not surprised at all.

Such a sad situation.

5/11/2009 8:07:21 PM

So now there are rumors circulating that she's getting cozy with one of the security guards and also her trainer.

And now TLC might try to get some of this into the new season.

Oy these poor children.

5/12/2009 11:33:21 PM

YIKES. Just found this on Perez (again)

Quote :

"In the latest issue of People magazine, reality TV's favorite ice-cold mother, Kate Gosselin, opens up about the recent scandal surrounding her and husband Jon - and how even though she's hoping for the best, the worst might be yet to come. She says, "I don't know that we're in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing. I've been struggling with the question of 'Who is this person?' for a while." Them are some fighting words! Kate also recalls the first time she heard the name of her husband's supposed mistress, Deanna Hummel, saying, "I remember where I was the first time I heard her name. It's one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there's blaring, red flashing lights." She likens considering divorce to the moment she found out she was pregnant with sextuplets, saying that at first it was "pure shock and denial," but over time, "when your mind is ready to go there, you can accept any number of scenarios." Despite circumstances, Kate says, "I will never give up hope that every member of our family can be absolutely happy again." Wait, Jon was happy at one point?"

http://perezhilton.com/2009-05-13-kate-speaks-some-more-and-is-all-negative

5/13/2009 3:25:36 PM

omg if they get divorced, jon will never see those children and she won't be able to support them. there won't be jon & kate plus 8 anymore!

5/13/2009 3:47:07 PM

haha I get all my gossip from perez. But, I must have missed this.

Quote :

"Rough week to be a sextuplet! First, your daddy, Jon Gosselin, is reported to be having an affair with a 23 year old slut schoolteacher. Now, your mommy, Kate Gosselin, has to fight off the rumors that she, too, is having an affair. A family source discusses the latter with US Weekly, suggesting that Kate's rumored affair with her married secuirty guard, Steve Neild, has been going on since last May. Clearly, Neild got pointers from his former employer, Bill Clinton. And Jon is getting jealous! "He threatened to hire a private investigator," the family source said. As Kate continues to travel the country promoting their reality show and her writing ventures, she has kept Neild close at hand and people are noticing. An employee at a recent promo she did for her TLC show said: "She was gently poking him, giving him little love pats, totally unlike the slapping she does with Jon. She and Steve were joking around so much, I actually wondered if they were having an affair. There's a lot of open affection between them." The employee also remarked that she showed no affection for Jon at the same event. But at least she let him out of his cage! As for the future for the married parents eight, the family source says that "it's over. "Kate doesn't want to work on it, he doesn't want to work on it." And like so many other reality tv marriages, this one may bite the dust."

This whole thing is pretty disgusting and sad to me.


And she's supposed to be on the cover of People this week saying "We might split up."

More from Perez....

Quote :

"And now for the least surprising news of the day! Jon and Kate Gosselin are o-v-e-r according to Kate's own brother! Kevin Krieder and his wife, Jodi, confided to the media that his sister's family is in absolute "shambles" and six months ago Kate told Jon, "Hey, it's over." "The show is not reality, and has not been for a long time. This is a train wreck," Kate's sister-in-law, Jodi, exposed to reporters. Kevin and Jodi even received a visit from Jon himself, where Gosselin confessed his fears that Kate was cheating on him with her bodyguard, Steve Neild! So why not put a plug in the dysfunction and officially divorce??? Kevin thinks that his sister is too much of a famewhore to give up all the media attention - Kate is aspiring to be a talk show host and isn't ready to let go of her dream! Bah!"

Looks like Jon and Kate is going to be only re-runs after this season....

that's going to be the most awkward season ever

5/14/2009 3:27:26 PM

yeah, also saw on Perez that Aunt Jodie and her husband stopped doing the show because the producers offered them money and Kate didn't want them to take it because it meant less for her. And that she never gives any money to John. Supposedly she's a money grubber.

http://perezhilton.com/2009-05-14-kate-gosselin-wants-more-says-sister-in-law

5/14/2009 3:31:32 PM

Oh yea, punchmonk and I discussed that early on in our PMing about the show.

Apparently she did a short video saying pretty much that she doesn't see the kids anymore because Kate wouldn't allow the show to pay Jodie.

Kate's lost all her friends and nobody really wants to be around them anymore. I remember when the show first started and she was grocery shopping with coupons and trying to strategize and everything.

Now they have so much money, nothing else really seems to matter to her anymore.

I wonder who's watching the kids while she's away. If John does it on his own, and then just leaves when she gets back from the media tours.

5/14/2009 3:57:34 PM

I was reading Jodi's blog and she sounded pretty angry. I would never hold my family back from a opportunity like that. Another reason why Kate is a bitch.

I bet it is a lonely world when you are a bitch to everyone close to you and when you start to think your shit don't stink.

5/14/2009 6:38:44 PM

I hope jon at least gets to see the kids

5/14/2009 11:08:31 PM

"Jon and Kate Gosselin made their first public appearance together in two weeks -- for TV cameras. The couple celebrated their sextuplet's fifth birthday by throwing a party at the Blue Falls Grove water park in Pennsylvania Sunday. Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel played with their older sisters, twins Mady and Cara, and a few pals as a crew caught it all on film. (The celebration was a week late: Kate spent the afternoon of the sextuplets' actual birthday -- Mother's Day -- at a tanning salon instead of with her kids.) Jon and Kate hardly interacted at all, according to an eyewitness. Jon took time to chat with Steve Neild, the bodyguard his wife became so close to, he once considered hiring a private investigator, as the newest issue of Us Weekly reports. The couple left in separate cars. Jon and Kate haven't been spotted together since the Pennsylvania Women's Show on May 2. "Six month ago, Kate came to Jon and said, 'Hey, it's over," Kate's brother, Kevin Krieder told RadarOnline.com last week."

i read the people article. depressing how awful she is. i understand that one shouldn't immediately blame the woman when a man cheats. but she is not willing to say that she's been rough on him, or anything like that.

she also says that she's made so many changes just to make him happy. cough*bullshit*cough.

from perez (again)

Kate Gosselin is having trouble adjusting to the amount of tabloid attention she's drawn due to the cheating scandal dramz surrounding her and her husband over the past few weeks!

Gosselin complained about her newfound fame to People Magazine.

She says:

"Before this, I'd never stood on line at the grocery store, looked at the people on the cover of magazines, and thought about what they're going through. I'd never thought, 'Oh my god, this is totally doing them in.' But now, I understand what they live with: Everywhere you go you're being stalked, you're being followed - it's hell, on the cover of a magazine."

Maybe the mom of eight should disappear from the public eye then???

Not give so many interviews, perhaps??

Just a suggestion!

The only thing we do agree with Kate on is protecting those poor kids from the media!

Cried Gosselin:

I don't want them dragged into this. It kills me. My children are important. My attitude is important. My marriage is important, and though I don't know where that's going right now, I know I can definitely choose my attitude. And I know that I will never give up, I will not stop, I will not fail my kids. Everything else I can't control, I'm just going to have to learn to live with it.

Once again…

Why is she still giving interviews????

Oh, wait..

We totally forgot that she's a money-grubbing famewhore!

Duh!

5/21/2009 10:22:20 AM

Quote :

"The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Jon & Kate mom Kate Gosselin -- known for being short with her husband, Jon Gosselin -- is even more combative with her family and employees. Baby nurse Angela Krall, who watched the sextuplets as infants for more than a year, tells Us that the short-fused Kate fired 40 nurses and nurse's aides in the three months before she was hired. A 2005 Associated Press story reported that a pre-TV Gosselin had petitioned the state to extend payments for Krall, whose fees were first paid by Medicaid (Jon was unemployed; Medicaid provides limited assistance to premature babies). "Kate Gosselin said she feels society has a responsibility to help with the children, since modern medicine promotes the use of fertility drugs, which can lead to multiple births," the AP reported. See photos of reality star love gone bad. While Kate praised Krall in the same story, Krall reveals that Kate posted "demeaning" signs in every room detailing rules, and fired one woman on the spot for washing her hands in the kitchen instead of the bathroom. "Kate flipped," says Krall. "She thought it was cross-contamination." That level of perfectionism also tore her apart from her father, Kenton Kreider, a pastor, after he gave her cribs donated by his parishioners. "They didn't match and Kate rejected them," says a family source. "Things like that caused a rift." Krall, who says all six babies ended up with matching cribs, tells Us Kate "thought they were owed stuff. The money factor was huge." Indeed, a now-famous Gosselin has spent 21 out of the last 30 days on the road at paid speaking engagements; after she made news last week admitting that she might leave Jon, she continued on her book tour for five days as her husband tended to the kids. "
