TJL’s Reviews > Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World > Status Update

Oh Jesus, tell me you did not just unironically quote Taylor Swift lyrics as a poignant note in your book. Please.

Oh, so you're not just following the Gosselins everywhere, you're also GOING THROUGH THEIR TRASH?

Holy Christ.

"I was just stirring the pot to get people engaged in conversation. I'm a bit of an antagonist."

You're a bit of a smug ass, and you're destroying your credibility the further and further that I go into this book.

Bro you are LITERALLY part and parcel to the exploitation of these children, just like Kate AND JON are.

"Looking back I feel bad about it, but at the time I was just doing my job" you understand what a massively inadequate excuse that is in a book where you insist on being self-righteous about everything, right?

Kate was, and I quote, looking "bra-less, standing firm, and looking fabulously slutty". This comes on the heels of the author encouraging the audience to go to a particular episode and pause on that scene, after calling her out for having a boob job.

Author: Are you trying to be an ass? Because this is the definition of being an ass.

Wow. Didn't even coach it in terms of taking money from exploiting the kids, just came right out and shamed Kate for having a boob job.

Author: Did you think for even five hot seconds how this might play to your audience?

Yeah, no, sorry, that doesn't wash. The paparazzi's entire existence is based on invading the privacy of others and overstepping boundaries. Just because you found a couple that were nice enough to Jon to get close to the kids doesn't change the fact that their ENTIRE profession is built on exploitation. You don't get to wash that away while laying into Kate for every single infraction.

And how would you being a fan make you, a stranger, snapping a picture of her any less creepy, annoying, or intrusive to her?

Kate Gosselin is a nightmare, but the author's obvious bias and clear attempts at demonizing her are not winning him points with me.

So one of the twins is clearly "starved for parental affection" and is shocked than an adult would care about her poetry... But that only reflects Kate's parenting, not Jon's?
