According to some new reports, Kate Gosselin isn’t living her best life these days — in fact, she’s broke.
First, Sun The claim is that the former reality star is living alone in North Carolina because the four children in her care – Aiden, Alexis, Leah and Joel – have all moved away.
Gosselin is famously the mother of eight children.
But two (Maddie and Cara) are working in New York after graduating from college; While the other two (Hannah and Colin) live with her ex-husband, John.
(Colin has been quite vocal in his criticism of Kate in recent years. More on that later.)
Is Kate Gosselin really broke?
One might think that Gosselin is using this opportunity to get a job and replenish her dwindling bank account, but, well…
“Kate hasn’t had a job other than reality TV for 17 years,” a source said. SunAdd:
“It’s very clear that Kate has no interest in living a normal life and having a real job.
“It seems Kate’s financial situation is dire.”
Kate (whose nursing license expires in 2025) returned to television last year for the first time since 2019 to take part in Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
Relatedly, a year ago, Jon accused Kate of stealing more than $100,000 from his children’s trust. This is another example (if true) that the latter is desperate to get its needs met.
Kate tried to get Jon to pay
Sun It’s also been reported that she recently asked a judge to force her ex-husband to pay her the $132,875 in child support she alleges John owed her nearly a decade ago. But the outstanding tax was kept.
“She is suing for money support that was made by the domestic relationship in 2012. This was at the time when she wanted legal custody of the children so she could film and make more money,” Sun Writes.
“She’s relentless and desperate for money so she’s trying to sue now.”
Sadly, Kate lost that case. We guess it’s harder to convince a judge to award you child support when you’re not parenting any children.
Kate’s Colin Problem
Kate Gosselin has said very little in public recently. But she was back in the spotlight last summer after Collin accused his mother of abuse.
The teen claimed Kate sent him to a special needs institution when he was 13 to hide how she had treated him.
Due to this allegation, Kate had to issue a statement.
“I never wanted to have to do this, but I feel like I’ve been pushed into a corner and have no choice. “Although it pains me to do so, I need to speak out now,” Kate said in a lengthy statement released on Instagram at the time.
“My son Colin, whom I love with all my heart, has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years.
“For the safety of Mary, his brothers and sisters, and his own well-being, he was placed in a facility after years of outpatient treatment that proved inadequate for his needs.
“The decision to admit him was made by emergency room doctors after one of his multiple attacks/outbursts – which involved his use of a weapon.”
a painful situation
Jon Gosselin rescued Collin from the facility in 2017 and was later awarded temporary custody of him.
In September 2020, John was accused of assaulting a child.
He defended himself from the charge by saying at the time that Collin was suffering from manic disorder, and he was simply trying to stop the young man.
this type of incident does This seems to relate to what Kate is saying about Colin above.
Kate concluded, “Any measures that were taken in our home were on the express recommendation of her child psychiatrist and/or her team of specialists and were done with the consent of every member of our family, our friends as well as our family pets. were made for the protection of In July 2023.
“Unfortunately, I believe Colin is a very troubled young man who still needs a lot of help.
“His siblings and I have not been directly involved in his life due to his history of unpredictable behavior and violent tendencies toward us.
“That’s all I have to say on this matter and I will not discuss the topic further at this time.”
Collin was recently discharged from the Marines, which he blamed on his mother.
What can Kate Gosselin do to prevent breakouts?
Coming back to her financial issues, Kate’s options seem quite limited at the moment.
Insiders say Kate wants a new reality show, which makes sense, since that’s how she got rich in the first place. But this seems highly unlikely given the allegations against him.
She recently posted a rare photo of her children, possibly as part of an effort to improve her image. However, this is probably a case of too little, too late.
There is talk of Kate filing for bankruptcy. And this may be his best option at this time.
She might even want to consider changing her name and moving to a new country!
