The tabloid attention is starting to get to Kate Gosselin. “The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about our security person and his family,” the Jon And Kate Plus 8 star told People, acknowledging the rumor that she slept with bodyguard Steve Neild, a close family friend. “Already the allegations they’re making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified.”
I’m totally panicking, and thinking, ‘We are going to lose our last set of friends.’ I keep calling them, begging, ‘Seriously, I’m so sorry. Don’t run away from us.’ They keep saying, ‘We’re fine, we’re fine.’ But they have paparazzi in front of their house. It’s so upsetting.
…We opened our world to this, but we willingly made a conscious decision to put this out there. Our friends and family did not. It’s like saying, ‘Thanks for your support, let me sic the paparazzi on you.’ It’s very very difficult. It leaves us, essentially, alone and friendless. It’s terrible.
The press attention isn’t just affecting the stars. TLC is still editing the Jon And Kate season premiere less than two weeks before it’s scheduled to air. Seems they’re desperate to include the latest developments in the ongoing scandal. Whether or not they pull it off, expect the ratings to be through the roof.
