Jon & Kate Plus Eight: Not as Wholesome as They Appear
October 14, 2008 by
Jon & Kate Plus Eight have become a marketing dream for many businesses. From the cute suburban family struggling to raise eight kids in a healthy environment, Jon & Kate Plus Eight has turned into a mass marketing frenzy for clothing makers, 
Colorado vacation resorts, hair implants, and tummy tucks.
In the beginning of Jon & Kate Plus Eight, we were introduced to the Gosselin family's twin girls, Mady and Cara, and the sextuplets, Alexis, Aaden, Hannah, Joel, Collin, and Leah. We watched as their daily lives unfolded into the hectic chaos of a family with eight children. However, lately the episodes of Jon & Kate Plus Eight has turned into little more than a prime time advertising spot for many businesses.
According to the blog, Truth Breeds Hatred, which is written by Jodi's sister, not only has Jon & Kate Plus Eight become a mass marketing tool for business and retailers but it has also become a show of hatred, greed, jealousy, and betrayal. Truth Breeds Hatred states that Aunt Jodi was offered a contract to appear on Jon & Kate Plus Eight Season 2. Not wanting to go behind the backs of Jon and Kate, Jodi tells them the offer that she had received.
A quote from Truth Breeds Hatred, "Kate immediately accused Jodi and Kevin of being there for the money. This is what is so upsetting! Not the fact that she refused to allow them to be paid, but the things that she said to Kevin's face. Of course, it was hurtful, but the point is, Jodi knew that if she wanted to have a relationship with the children, she had to go along with Kate and still be useful. There was NO fight over money. Jodi accepted Kate's wishes and told Kate--herself--that she didn't care about the contract or money. She just wanted to continue what they had been doing all along.
Kate said NO--she was hiring someone else. So at that point, Jodi knew she was out. Not just off the show, but out of their lives. That's the way it works. The network would now pay for someone else, so Jodi was no longer of any use to Kate. I know that sounds harsh and some want to believe there was some big family feud, but that isn't the case at all."

Sometimes I have found myself cringing over something Kate Gosselin has said or done, but I cringe because I see facets of myself in her.
