We already know the ‘Kate Plus 8′ star is estranged from her own family, but sources are now saying she doesn’t have any close friends!
Just in time for the holidays, Kate Gosselin has sunk into a deep deep funk. RadarOnline.com reports that an “associate” of Gosselin’s says Kate is “sad and lonely” and rarely does anything that doesn’t involve her eight little Gosselins and her TLC reality show, Kate Plus 8.
“The truth is Kate is really sad and lonely with few true friends,” says a source. “Her bodyguard Steve Neild is the closest person to her, but he’s married with two kids of his own.”
But here’s what is important to point out in the case of lonely Kate: the TLC star is the second oldest of five children: Christen, Kendra, Clairissa, and Kevin Kreider. Kate grew up not very far from where she currently resides in Reading, Pa., and her father, Kenton is a minister in a neighboring town. Kate’s brother Kevin used to appear on early episodes of Jon and Kate Plus 8, but he and his wife, Jodi, were quickly booted after voicing concerns that the children were being exploited by TLC.
Even though Kate tries to keep a low profile in her hometown of Reading, Pa., sources close to Kate confess that the locals are turning against her!
“They don’t think greatly of her and she is not popular at the local stores, post office or car wash, because she cannot win people over and comes across as cold and aloof,” says the source. “Kate just finds it hard to be friendly towards people and is very domineering – at the moment she is pre-occupied with looking her best and keeping-up appearances.”
Even though Kate was thought to be having an affair with her long-time bodyguard, the truth is, she isn’t seeing anyone.
“Kate has money coming in but nobody to share it with,” says the source. “Having her own reality show has come with a price for her but ultimately that was her own choice.”

i find your use of the term sheeple and the tone taken toward any and all who might side with kate equally as arrogant and condescending as the portrait you have painted of kate. there could very well be people who emphasize with kate who have legitimate reasons for doing so, and they could know or appreciate something about the situation that you are not equipped to appreciate.

If you haven’t noticed, in the vast Kate Gosselin Blogosphere there seem to be two types of commentators: Those who believe Kate is a heroine-super-mom and excuse any and all of her possible strange, less than kind idiosyncrasies — AND those who strongly dislike Kate and vehemently criticize her demeaning, nasty treatment of her husband, children … and many, many others.
The supporters are universally know as the “Sheeple.” The critical non-supporters are know as the “Haters.” I did not invent the words. However, their self-explanitory brevity and usefulness cannot be denied.
It’s very easy to side with a poor beleaguered narcissist from AFAR. The Sheeple do it every day.
It is NOT EASY to deal with a narcissist up close and personal. Do you suppose that might be the reason we are being told that poor Kate is lonely and has no family or friends except the TLC paid bodyguard who lives in Kate’s basement?
Why does Kate Kreider Gosselin have no friend or family support in a geographical area she has lived in all her life? Is everyone in Pennsylvania dedicated to avoiding Kate Gosselin because they’re *Jealous Haters* consumed with Kate-envy? Or perhaps — just maybe Kate is finally reaping what she has sowed?
