Jon Gosselin Gets A 9-5 Job In Sales & Doesn't Want To Be Famous Anymore — Are You Buying This?

Wed, January 19, 2011 5:44pm EDT by Chloe Melas 47 Comments

We told you Jon wanted a regular job so he could be near his eight little kiddies — and he actually followed through!

Jon Gosselin has gone green! There have been rumors for months that the former reality star was looking for a job in IT but Life & Style reports that he’s opted for a sales marketing job at an eco-friendly company called Global Green Property Services! “Hes much more content blending in and being able to live his life without the world watching,” a source tells the mag. “Jon doesn’t long for fame at all.”

The ex-husband of Kate Gosselin is now at a 9-5 job, going to different companies and making cold-calls — kind of like a door-to-door salesman! But the dad-of-eight is reportedly very happy with his new green mission!

What do you think about Jon’s new job and claims HollywoodLifers? Has he turned over a new leaf or do you think he still yearns for reality fame?

LOL…Jon, got a job, WOW! My husband has had a job since he was 14! Let’s see how long he will keep it…..

I am glad Jon has changed, and not in the public eye. Now, if KATE would only follow suit. I am SICK of both of them. Kate needs to stop living off her kids and get them off TV.

Jon said he quit his job because the travel would jeep him from his children.

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

He knew BEFORE he started that job traveling was involved! I contacted the company and visited the company’s website and it is a small business. The only traveling Jon would do would be regional requiring 1 day during the week, if that. Jon Gosselin is a chronic liar.

Wow you actually called the company the guy worked for? Talk about stalkers! That is really sick and twisted.

That is what one would call “too much time on their hands”. Is it any wonder that the US has fallen behind the rest of the world in everything? Do you think anyone in China would call up the employer of a has-been reality star who had their 15 minutes of fame two years ago? No, they are too busy working or studying!!

What’s up Goody? These people want to believe in Jon so badly that they will ignore the truth about that pathetic little weasel. Jon is a LOSER. he can’t keep a JOB. He can’t stand on his on and needs a WOMAN to help him survive. WHAT A HOT MESS! LOL!

The day Jon ended his family’s source only income source he said it was because of kids. Come to find out from TLC it is because TLC wouldn’t budge to Jon’s demands that if TLC doesn’t comply with in 24 hours by giving him the custom made OCC chopper (motorcycle) and to remove the exclusivity clause in his contract modification he would not allow TLC filming rights and they were not allowed on his property.

THE VERY NEXT DAY JON GOSSELIN LOOTED $235,000 FROM A BANK ACCOUNT MEANT EXCLUSIVELY FOR HIS CHILDREN’S WELL BEING AND THEN HE LIED ABOUT IT ON TV. OF COURSE, JON WAS TOLD BY THE COURT TO PAY BACK EVERY DIME & HE DID!

Jon and Kate have been separated since early 2009 and DIVORCED in December 2009! TLC has released Jon from any contractual obligations. Jon is reaping what he sowed. He blew all his money, he did train/get educated for a career, he didn’t start a business and Jon cannot keep a job. That is not Kate’s fault.

Jon lasted on that job for exactly 13 days, he’s been unemployed ever since. No surprise there.

I can’t imagine wasting one second of my life hating on anybody on the internet. Life’s too short people! Stop wasting it. Cheer up, the Gosselins will be able to function just fine without your input, lol!

Now if only Kate can get off her lazy ass and get a real job

Share this comment at

Say what you will, but Jon has NEVER kept a job longer than 6 months except with TLC and he screwed TLC and they screwed him. Jon DOES NOT have any skills.

Jon and Kate are DIVORCED! Stop blaming Kate cause Jon wants to sit on his butt all day. Before any family court judge gives Jon custody of right young lives, he needs to be responsible for himself first. Jon’s contract with TLC is finished. Nobody is stopping him from getting a TV job.

BTW, Kate, who doesn’t ha5ve a “real job” laughed all the way to the bank in 2010 with approximately 4 million!

good for him. i wish him good luck and hope he stays on this path and gives the kids at least one safe haven from the cameras 24/7, especially as they approach their teens.

@TruthTeller: Say all you want about Jon but all you have to do is look and listen to Kate to see that she has not got one genuine bone in her body. Your a pretty sad judge of character.

JON JUST QUIT HIS NEW JOB! SAGEWAY EXPRESS! Like he could keep a JOB!

Share this comment at

Must be a slow news day. Jon’s had this job for months and the Jill Zarin story is even older. A new book? HA, it came out in April and is selling for only $10.00. Jon on the other hand, is doing well at his job and his clients like him.
Moving on.

Jon wanted out of filming way back at the end of 2008. Before any pap footage. It’s on tape. The last episode of that year. Go back and look. Kate didn’t agree with him. I’m happy for Jon. Glad he’s working a normal job and not dragging his kids all over the globe to try and get in the media spotlight.

Share this comment at

People please, Just look back at the old footage when the kids were real young, Jon has said he did not like the spotlight. And while he a Kate began having trouble, he said he did not want to do the show anymore. And ya know its not just woman who go a little “nutty” when going through a break-up, he had a moment and regrets his bad dicisions, but not one of you can say that the kids are not happier w/him then they are w/their mother because you would be lying and ya know it….the judge that is paid off by TLC and Kate should be ashamed and do the right thing and let Jon have custody of the kids and Kate can have visitation…By the way Kate is never home so let John raise the kids in what Kate calls “the home that was bought for the children” and let Kate get an apartment. I mean it is for the kids and Jon is the one w/a stable homelife to give them!!!!!!

By the way I live in Pa. and jon is well liked because they know what the real deal is here in pa., All you others are just reading what TLC and Kates professional PR team are concocting to Keep Kate bringing in the money. TLC does not care about these kids emotional well being because one day they wont have to think about them anymore, but us here in Pa.’s taxes will go toward paying for their theapy and rehab just like we did for their births, because we all know Kate pays for nothing and thinks shes owed everything. I’m sorry I’m sooo long winded, but it irratates me when people do not know the whole story I admit to believeing some things also,but in this case I do and wanted all you to know that.

Who cares? That’s 2009 old news! 48% of married folks divorce. Jon and Kate are part of those statistics. You can’t make somebody want you anymore. Evidently, Kate did not love Jon or want him anymore. So effin what! Big deal! JON AND KATE ARE DIVORCED!

Jon a grown azz man. Since Jon was 20 yrs old, his employment history has been sporadic. Kate has ALWAYS carried that family because Jon Gosselin hardly worked!

It is time for Jon to to gets some skills through continuing education or start a business. In other words it us time for anon to sh1t or get off the pot!

Jon said he didn’t know if he wanted to continue filming after he was caught out partying with other women. He signed a contract after that statement, thus proving he did not mean it. The only reason he moved back to PA is because his rich girlfriend, Mogan Christie, kicked him to the curb.

You obviously do not watch Kate+8 because you can see the love that Kate and the kids share.

Get over your jealousy and stop sitting behind a computer screen typing lies.

Get over your hatred for Jon.

You obviously missed the point, keah is a resident who has first hand info about Jon & Kate’s interaction with the community. He/she doesn’t have to watch Kate+8. The reality show is STAGED! The kids are WORKING or they might be disciplined with the severest of punishment.

How do YOU know she’s never home? We need to stop trying to figure out their lives and focus on our own. Although Jon has been quite the skank, just because he allows it to be published.

The DWTS votes are done by an independent company. Your comments sound like you are the creazy cry baby. Grow up and try to have an adult conversation.

Hahahaha, now that Bonnie is posting positive stories about Jon, you just can’t handle that! It’s 2011, Jon is working hard to redeem himself for the kids’ sake.

Share this comment at

Working hard selling out his children to the tabloids. What a great way to redeem yourself.

One day the kids will read these stories and Jon will have alot of explaining.

Share this comment at

I wouldn’t be surprised if he did want to get out of the limelight. He has so much bad press that he did to himself that hiding is probably a good thing. I mean when people hear about him or see him, they probably don’t have good things to say about him.

Jon is pretty well liked in the community that surrounds him (Wyomissing). Many have wished him well as he stays out of the limelight and continues to focus on his children’s well-being. He goes about his business, is chatty with the locals and friends and seems to have finally settled down this past year. Wishing him ONLY success as he keeps down this path.

Maria give me a break. Kate had to always be on guard Jon was always up to no good. You mad because she wouldn’t take her back. You don’t like Kate because she went out of her race and had babies with that MUTT. Call a spade a spade. When Jon goes to jail and the truth comes out you will still be blaming Kate. It takes two.

Suebonnet I think you need to stay in you middle school English class and not be writing on this blog. Kate never looks out for the kids interest it’s all about the money. She needs to get off her lazy ass and stop having her kids work to support her. She is a disgrace of a mother.

suebonnet, you’re a CRAZED Katie Irene idol worshipper!! You’re racist & NOW you’re calling Jon a MUTT??!! So you’re implying the Gosselin 8 are DOGS?! Stay OFF the Gosselin boards, take your meds & GO AWAY!!

No I am a REALIST. If Kate had married an ANGLO and had kids nothing would have ever been said. Kate went out of her element and most of your kind don’t like it.

RACIST!! Katie Irene CHASED after Jon. She stated, on camera & in interviews, “I wish I were Korean!”

RACIST, what exactly is “your kind?”

Share this comment at

Out of the limelight? He has violated a gag order by tweeting about his children and the judges decisions and sold stories to the tabloids. He is pretending to want a “normal life” so gullible people like you will support him.

Share this comment at

Greedy moneygrubbing Katie violated the gag order in her interview on Regis & Kelly show. She violates the gag order with EVERY SINGLE interview she gives that gives details about the kids’ visitations with Jon. She violates the gag order when her personal paps, Steve/TLC photogs, sell pictures to the tabloids. She violates the gag order when she calls the paps with her schedule for photo ops – what was her cut?!

Monster Mom pretends to do everything ‘by herself’ & we SEE it’s a lie. She has a full staff that takes care of the kids because she appears to be overwhelmed. On SP Alaska, she couldn’t suck it up for the sake of the kids when they were having FUN @ the camp site. She made sure EVERYONE on the set KNEW she was MISERABLE with her ’19 layers of clothes & feeling frigid’ THEN she’s photographed after the Alaska trip, in PA, in temps of at least 30-40 degrees, in an open jacket, low cut top, open-toed shoe…happily patrolling the parking lots of Target. Was she frigid then?

Gullible people like you will CONTINUE to support this Monster of a mom.

I think the court forced him to prove employment because he was not paying child support. That is my opinion. I don’t buy what he is trying to sell, history repeats itself and Jon’s history and the things he has said and done to hurt his family, friends and those who tried to help him, he always had an agenda and used people for his financial gain. He even abandoned his own kids to chase tail and cheat around, he stole from his family then lied, he is a sneaky snake who is out for revenge on his wife and who won’t just move on with his life. He still is trying to stir up things anytime Kate and the kids have some TLC fun planned or opportunities, because he feels left out, so he lashes out at Kate in court or leaking crap to tabloids.

Jon is trash and not a role model father figure, his moral compass is BUSTED.

Share this comment at

Me thinks Jon didn’t have a choice on stepping out of the lime light. People weren’t buying what he was selling. His 15 minutes are up. Nothing for him to do BUT tuck in his tail and get back to his kids. Anything else and he would have been more disliked than he already is.

In season 4, Jon stated on several episodes that he wanted to STOP filming. He wanted to go back to living a normal life BUT Katie & TLC had different ideas. She/TLC/Steve have no regard for the irreparable harm the WHOLE madness of filming has done to the kids.

Now, there are behavioral problems in elementary school. Wait, there will be WORST problems as the kids get older. Monster Mom has modeled atrocious behaviors in the presence of the kids. Temper tantrums when she is unhappy & miserable. SP Alaska was probably the tip of the iceberg that revealed her true behaviors. Katie hits the kids as punishment, as shown in pictures & revealed by sources close to the action. When kids are EXPELLED from school for SEVERE aggression – hitting peers & adults on campus, they LEARNED the behavior as a coping mechanism or a form entitlement – “If Mommy hits & throws tantrums & she always gets her way, I’ll do the same to get my way.”

2009 was a bad year for Jon. He admitted his faults & is working to redeem himself with their children. Jon doesn’t have to answer to the Klover maniacs, only to their children. Redemption with his kids is more important than the greedy moneygrubbing antics of Katie/Steve/TLC when they WORK the kids during their school holidays. Wait, it’ll come out soon.

He only said he did not know if he wanted to continue AFTER he was caught partying with young girls. Remember – he didn’t want the kids to google him and find out his behavior.

He signed contracts twice since that time. In his inverview with Rabbi Schmuley in August 2010 he stated he was in discussions about filming and he would base his decision on what was in the best interest of his kids but also himself. He obviously did not get what he wanted from TLC.

Lets also not forget his attorney List said Jon would be willing to film Kate+8.

You need to stop believing every tabloid article from “a source close to Jon” and the anonymous sources on the hate blog you hang out at. The kids were not expelled. They may be having problems but they are probably the result of the divorce and Jon abandoning them for a year and then when he comes back into their lives he brings along a girlfriend. They needed time by themselves with their dad.

The Kate+8 show proves the kids have a blast while filming. Even Jon’s tweet confirms the kids want to film. He wants them to live poorly just because he does. What a sad, pathetic little man.

2009, Jon’s partying? Was that before or after Katie Irene approached him with a new contract because she was DONE & wanted to end the marriage? Was it before or after Jon was suspicious of Katie & Steve’s relationship but she refused to change body guards? Don’t worry, Katie might just catch her married man while she’s prancing around like a 20 year old!

Contracts & interviews ? He admitted to making bad decisions. As for the filming, unless you are a close confidante of Jon, how would you KNOW what decisions he made? You don’t know, unless you’re part of Kate’s PR/production team, a TLC employee with signed documents OR you’re making assumptions based on tabloid information.

Didn’t he fire List for making statements in the media without his prior consent?

Sources close to Kate are reliable? Articles, interviews, etc are revealed as truth from “sources close to Kate” the assumption with Katie idol worshippers are that these sources are truthful. Interesting because Kate’s lies are being revealed in court documents. Pap sources are coming out that she/Steve calls the paps with her schedule for photo ops. Wonder what her cut is? 60/40? Australia/New Zealand paps/fans reveal the desperation of keeping her in the media.

PA residents, who do not want to be identified for fear of retaliation by maniacal Kate followers, have come forward to state, “The kids were expelled.”

IF they needed time with their dad, WHY did Kate refuse visitations when she is out of town. Instead, nannies took care of the children. IF they needed time with their dad, WHY are the children not allowed to take phone calls from Jon when she is NOT at home. Sources close to Kate reveal this. IF they needed time with their dad, WHY did Kate take them out of the country for 3 weeks? Sorry, NOT buying the bullsh!t story that it’s Jon’s fault the kids are misbehaving. The kids spent the majority of their time with Kate & the nannies. Their aggressive behaviors were probably observed, learned & modeled FROM Monster Mommy Dearest. It’s all on Katie Irene Kreider.

Muahahahaha! There is something wrong with your perception of reality TV storylines. 1st, the production team decides what they will be filming. They SETUP the scene. If need be, the kids will REPEAT a scene until they film enough footage for the episode. This info comes from observers in the corn maze & Philadelphia filming. 2nd, the kids are bribed with food, candy, rewards or the ‘severest of punishment’ if they don’t comply. SP Alaska, she threatened them with abandonment because they wanted to stay at the campsite. Yeah, that would be emotional abuse with her threat of abandonment. She laughed at Leah when she changed her mind, “Ok then, I’ll go!” Narcissistic mothering at it’s very best!

Jon was complaining because TLC wouldn’t let him have his way. Jon wanted to PARTY and have some FUN at a time when his family needed him the most. And then stepped in DEANNA HUMMEL. Jon had a notorious reputation for sleeping with some of the ladies in the CHURCH where he and Kate went to. i don’t expect you to tell the truth You probably raised a pack of SORRY SONS TOO!

Was that BEFORE or AFTER Katie Irene decided to chase after Steve? Just trying to understand the timeline of events because Katie Irene had a REAL hard time remembering WHEN they mutually agreed to separate.

E! documentary should be VERY interesting. The producers/interviewers had a VERY hard time finding SOMEONE in the community who had nice things to say about your idol.

Jon admitting missing his 20s, Katie Irene is trying, DESPERATELY to relive her 20s. AND she’s DEPERATELY trying to chase after a married man with children. Hahahaha, she TRIED to “ingradiate” herself with Steve’s parents & FAILED miserably! She just can’t help herself in her desperation!
