Kate Gosselin tells 'Her Story', mostly complains

I really, really hate it for those kids. Their once-likeable dad has gone off the deep end in a very big way, and their never-likeable mom is getting paid to complain about it. At least, that's how I feel about it. In fact, the only likeable people left on TLC, besides Kat Von D and the Roloff family, are those eight little children, who are destined to never have a normal childhood because of their attention-starved parents.

But I digress.

TLC aired Kate: Her Story tonight. As you can tell from the title, it was all about Kate. Paula Morales simply goaded Kate on to gush out her innermost feelings to the camera about Jon, the show, and the paparazzi.

Kate did call Jon "disgusting" at least once, though she did state, through tears, that “I still think the phone will ring and it’ll be the old Jon."

That wasn't all that was said on this special, that aired Monday night, but it gives you a pretty good idea of the media-pandering emotion that went into the interview. It really makes you wonder why people care about the deep, inner emotions of people who have absolutely no talent other than the ability to spawn eight children. Audiences probably eat this up because it's a form of escapism, but who'd want to escape to that?

However, despite insulting Jon and praising the audience of the show, Kate did tell that she didn't think the show caused the breakup between herself and Jon. “Had we never done the show, it would have been me a nurse, him in I.T., and that would have gotten the better of us even sooner," she stated.

Toward the end, Kate told Morales that she'd love to go solo for a Kate Plus Eight now that Jon has been dropped by TLC. "I would love to do it," she stated, adding that the kids miss the camera crew around the house. “I would go back and do it again.”

Some people never learn, I tell you.

I really, really hate it for those kids.
