14 DAY TRIAL // Kate Gosselin, mother of eight and star of the TLC reality show “Kate & Jon Plus 8,” is not dealing well with fame and the constant media scrutiny, as she admitted so herself in a recent interview. At the second annual Cleveland Women’s Show, Mrs. Gosselin told women in attendance that all she wanted from life was to be happy with her family, but got something else in return, as Us Magazine can confirm.
Kate sat down in front of the women in attendance and spilled her heart out, saying this much pressure from the industry, together with the relentless media attention, had gotten her to the end of her rope. She no longer had any control over her life and the thought that she only wanted to act in the children’s best interest only made matters worse in retrospective, the television personality said.
“I’ve lost a lot of control in my life. At the beginning of all of this, you’ve heard me say before, I didn’t want fans gawking, I didn’t want people gawking, I just wanted to be myself, my family. I have learned, I appreciate your support, I need you, I love you, thank you.” Us Magazine quotes Kate Gosselin as saying. In time, she has also come to learn that moms don’t just stay at home to take care of the kids, a message she wanted to convey to all the women present there to boost their confidence in the many tasks they did around the house and not only.
It’s already a known fact that Kate Gosselin also co-hosted The View on Monday, September 14. During the show, she was asked how she felt when Jon Gosselin, her now estranged husband, introduced his girlfriend to the eight children they had together. It wasn’t easy, Kate admitted, and it would probably never be, especially since Jon did make a habit of constantly going out and having his name in the tabloids.
“This is definitely, I’m not going to lie, difficult. The truth, for the sake of my children, I’m going to take the high road [and not talk about it]. I melted down over the weekend. In the privacy of my own home, I melted down. It’s difficult. It’s difficult to wake up every day and wonder what things are going to be thrown my way.” Kate said on The View.
