Jon Gosselin says he will not allow his kids with ex Kate to appear on reality TV again
JON Gosselin says he will never give permission for his six younger kids to appear on reality TV again.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, said it wasn't in the best interest of his 16-year-old sextuplets, whose early lives were documented on former TLC show Jon and Kate Plus 8, to film again.
He told The Sun: "I'm not going to sign for my kids to film.
"The Department of Labor agreed with me, as I have joint legal rights to my children.
"I also believe that Family Court agreed with me, as well as the guardian ad litem.
"She agreed with me that wasn't in the best interest.
"So if the kids are turning 18 and they want to film, that's fine, they're adults, they can do whatever they want.
"But I don't think it's necessary to film now. So I would say no."
Back in October, Jon filed a petition for contempt against , claiming she filmed the four children in her custody - Leah, Alexis, Joel and Aaden - without his consent for an episode of Kate Plus 8 on TLC.
Kate then filed a counterclaim against him, accusing him of continuing to, and blamed him for .
Jon has since revealed to The Sun that he and ex wife Kate
Though he admitted the former couple are still not on speaking terms, he said the kids were now allowed to choose to live with whichever parent they want.
Jon currently has custody of Collin and Hannah, and both teen live with him and girlfriend Colleen.
Collin has called Colleen a and even wished her a happy Mother's Day while snubbing mom Kate.
The hospital IT consultant, who has previously claimed Kate their sextuplets and secretly had son Collin admitted to an institution, allegations Kate has denied, said he loves all his children and will support them no matter what they decide.
He even wished all the sextuplets a on May 10, and said he "misses" the four who live with their mother.
The 43-year-old says he couldn't be prouder of the two children who live with him, revealing Collin does a lot of military reserve training with the JRTC and Hannah loves art and baking.
Both are doing well in school and have high grades.
And Jon also stated he will never appear on camera with his kids again - even though son Collin keeps asking him to set up a YouTube channel together.
";I will never film with my children again," he vowed.
"Collin's like, 'Let's do a gaming YouTube channel' because we game a lot together.
"I'm like, 'I don't know about that dude - we're good, we're not that good...
"I mean, he and Hannah can do whatever they want to do, but it doesn't have to be with me or I don't need to be a part of that.
"That's up to them. You know, if they want to create a channel together, we'll discuss it and go through the proper channels and legal routes.
"But I'm not going to be a part of it."
And Jon, also a part time DJ, says he is unsure if he'll ever appear on TV again.
"I don't know - I don't know how the world's going to play out," he said.
"I just really want my kids to graduate and I want to focus on them.
"And at this point, I really don't have time to do much more; I come to work and then I go home and then I landscape.
"My manager thinks it's so funny that I do my own landscaping, like cutting my lawn and stuff.
"I know it's not a very LA or New York thing to do, but that's what I do here.
"I haven't thought about it [being on TV] ever really.
"I like playing music. I probably won't much more after this whole thing because that's pretty much going away.
"Even during the pandemic I got bookings and I'm thinking of just giving all those bookings to my friends because that's their employment. It's not my employment.
"I kind of enjoy playing music for myself, but now there's people that are really hard up and they really need those bookings more than I do."
The Sun reached out to Kate and her attorney for comment but they did not respond.
