TLC star Kate Gosselin reveals she was fired by network in stunning court admission

KATE Gosselin revealed she’s been fired by TLC while speaking at a court proceeding with her ex-husband Jon last month.

She had worked with the network for over a decade.

The reality star, 44, revealed the shocking news during a December 19 hearing at which a judge found her in contempt of court for filming her and Jon’s underage kids for a TLC special without his permission, according to Radar Online.

A source divulged: “Kate stated in court that TLC has terminated their relationship with her.”

She was reportedly let go after allowing her 15-year-olds Alexis, Aaden, Joel and Leah to be filmed for the October 2019 Kate Plus 8 special, despite a judge previously mandating she first receive permission from their father.

After divorcing Jon in 2009, Kate allegedly has sole physical custody of the four teens but shares legal custody with him.

There were no issues with Mady and Cara being in the program because they’re both 19 and able to make filming decisions for themselves.

As for Hannah and Collin, both 15, Jon has custody of the two of them and they were not in the special.

The mom of eight also reportedly filmed the special without the necessary permits.

The Pennsylvania Bureau of Labor Law Compliance denied the documents, stating: “There are serious questions about whether Kate Gosselin has the legal authority to agree to have her children filmed as part of this reality television program.”

Once Jon got wind of what happened, he took Kate to court over the breach of the judge’s orders, which was apparently enough for TLC to cut ties with the longtime member of its family.

Aside from being fired and being found in contempt, the reality star was also forced to pay Jon a fine of $1,500.

Of the legal drama, Jon told Daily Mail: “The guardian ad litem said filming wasn’t in the best interests of my children, the judge said it wasn’t in their best interests, but Kate went ahead and did it anyway.”

Kate’s relationship with TLC began when her reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8 moved from Discovery Health to TLC in 2008.

She’s had various shows and specials on the network, including Kate Plus 8 and Sextuplets Turn 10, in the years since.
