Has Jon Gosselin been fired?
Rumors are flying this morning that TLC might be giving Jon Gosselin the heave-ho due to his douchey behavior.
Gosselin, who you may know as the reality-TV dad from Jon Kate Plus Eight, seems to be persona non grata in many places. Designer Christian Audigier of Ed Hardy, with whom Jon was visiting when his first extramarital affair became public, sounded less keen than before when he spoke to People about his alleged business relationship with Gosselin.
“I met the guy for two days to see what he wanted to do as a job. In the beginning it was Jon and Kate, and then the guy came with another girl. He told me, ‘I’m going to come with my stylist. I need two tickets for the plane.’ So I said, ‘no problem.’ “
But sometime between then and now, TLC decided to blur all the logoed clothing Jon was wearing. Audigier now says he’s “different than he was.”
“He is not the same as he was,” says Audigier. “He has a more complicated life now. He has all of those kids and a girlfriend and ex-wife.”
And secondary mistress Kate Major unsurprisingly dished the whole story of their troubled tryst:
“Jon said he couldn’t be seen having a girlfriend, so he told me to drive to a neighbor’s house after midnight, when the kids were asleep,” Major told the mag. “He said he’d pick me up on his four-wheeler, take me to his house and drop me off again at 6 a.m.
“I was shocked and said, ‘No, I don’t feel right doing that. What if the kids wake up?’ He was like, ‘They’re not going to notice, they’re not going to see anything.’ He wasn’t nervous about it — I was.”
Slick. And who would think a man who just split up with his wife and was immediately photographed swanning around the south of France with his wife’s plastic surgeon’s daughter would behave like that? And he wasn’t even sincere in his affections:
On July 20, we went to a hotel in New Jersey,” Major said. “I paid for the room, and he snuck up a back way. That was the first time we slept together. He said he was falling in love with me. He said, ‘I thought Hailey was perfect until I met you.'”
Major added, “Even when we were in the Hamptons, we were planning to go to L.A. together to meet with Christian Audigier about Ed Hardy stuff. We also talked about going to Las Vegas. Now he’s taking Hailey — and that was a trip we had planned together.”
Major said the Gosselin left promising to break up with Hailey Glassman, but instead turned off his phone, and last contacted her with a text simply stating “do not contact me again.”
No official word has come from TLC regarding Jon’s fate as a reality TV trainwreck, but it’s hard to see how they can keep him on after all the bad press he’s gotten lately.
