Hailey Glassman is the daughter of the surgeon who did Kate Gosselin’s tummy tuck. She is now dating Kate’s soon-to-be-ex husband Jon Gosselin, whom she loves desperately, as she’s made it known on several occasions in the past. With all the love she has for him, she still can’t forgive him for being emotionally abusive to her and throwing tantrums whenever he feels like it, she says in a new interview with The Insider.

Jon Gosselin has serious problems dealing with the truth and some of the things he comes across daily. Either because of his life so far or some flaw in his nature, he often runs from the obvious and then tries to take it out on others whenever someone confronts him. Hailey says life with him is nothing short of a living hell at times but, strangely enough, she can’t find it in herself to leave him. She loves him and, because of that, she will stand by his side no matter what – although how this exactly fits in with talking with the media she won’t say.

Jon Gosselin throws “mantrums” or “male tantrums,” and there’s no easy way of saying this other than direcly, Glassman explains. “He'll call me and take his anger out on me. He has ‘mantrums.’ I shouldn’t have to put up with being emotionally abused. I cry and say, ‘Why are you so mean to me?’ Sometimes he has trouble with the truth and he will dance and dance around his lies. He’s like Jekyll and Hyde. But I still love him.” she further adds.

While admitting that what they have is not a normal relationship, Glassman also reveals that she basically had no idea of what she was getting into when she first agreed to go out on a date with the father of eight, star of the “Jon & Kate Plus 8” reality show. Nevertheless, now that she knows what Jon is like, she doesn’t want to leave his side, even if that means having to be the one he takes out his anger at. On the other hand, Jon was reportedly very “supportive” of his girlfriend throughout the 2-part televised interview.

“I’d never seen the show [with Kate]. I had no idea. People judge me before they meet me. I get threats everyday. I get called a home wrecker and a fat [expletive]. People will stare or point. It gets worse everyday. […] I don’t want to leave him all alone. At the end of the day, I love him but I dislike him at times. When I love someone I would never hurt them.” Glassman explains in the same interview.
