Author Claims Kate Gosselin Abused Family Pets

Posted: October 12, 2012

kate gosselin family

Another rumor about Kate Gosselin surfaced on the internet today. Robert Hoffman, the author of a new book about the reality star, claims that Gosselin used to abuse her family pets.

Hoffman claimed last month that Gosselin used to beat her children with a wooden spoon.

Hoffman said:

“Kate left the family dogs in their cages behind the house for hours on end with no food. She never cleaned the cages. Jon would return to find them filled with urine, poop and puke. I saw vomit in them.”

The abuse, unfortunately, gets much worse.

Hoffman said:

 “She would knock them over the head and yell. The abuse caused Nala to become very resistant to Kate, so that any time she came around, Nala growled. After a while, Kate began to fear she’d be attacked, so she sent the dog back to the breeder.”

According to Hoffman, Kate Gosselin never wanted to get a family pet. The reality show mother told her children repeatedly that they couldn’t have a pet but eventually caved when the show needed more content.

Hoffman added:

“The kids had been begging for pets for years but Kate was adamantly against it, until the show needed content for an episode.”

Do you think Kate Gosselin beat her children? Do you think she was abusive to animals?

Gosselin hasn’t commented on either rumor yet. According to Radar Online, her lawyers have told her not to comment on Hoffman’s tell-all book. The book hit Amazon at the end of September but was pulled after a few days due to legal threats.

    Really if you watched when they got the dogs you could clearly see she didn't want them.Then made up some excuse to get rid of them for a while. She only took them back so she didn't look like a complete bitch for taking the dogs away from the kids in the first place.

    This isn't news to me. I remember once reading something about her being cruel to the dogs (I thought they had 2..). The kids thing I'm sure is true too, because I remember seeing a picture of Kate hitting Leah… poor kids. Going to need a lot of therapy as they get older.

    How about this: Put Kate + 8 and Octomom and family together. They can live in a warehouse or airplane hanger and they get a greyhound bus to travel in. Tell me there wouldn't be hours of hijinx! It's like Snooki & JWoww plus kids!

  13. Does she pay people to put stuff like this online just to keep her name out there? Other than that she is not even a has been, she is a never, was until she birthed a "litter" of kids.

  14. Yes, I absolutely believe she abused pets…and children…and while Jon may be no prize, she was abusive to him too…no wonder he went elsewhere…

    She has always seemed rather cold to me, and yes she was very demanding and nitpicky with Jon, but truly, did any of us ever see what really what on behind closed doors…..no….we saw what was happening as they were being filmed. Then someone comes out and wants to make a few bucks with a tell all book, so unusual! She had 8 kids to raise, Jon seemed a little too laid back, she seems very type A, it was doomed for disaster before the show, let alone after their fame hit. Was she cruel to her animals, if you believe everything you read, which I don't, then yes, she was. It must be true because some backstabber decides to make a few bucks revealing stories about his experience. It's all B.S. if you ask me.

    THIS IS A WOMAN WHO WANTS TO BE FAMOUS AT ANY COST. SHE TREATED HER EX-HUSBAND LIKE.
    CRAP SO IT IS NO WONDER HE WENT RUNNING FOR THE HILLS WHEN HE COULD. SHE WAS MEAN TO.
    THOSE KIDS EVEN SCREAMING WHEN THEY WERE BABIES. AND IT SURPRISES YOU THAT SHE WAS MEAN.
    TO ANIMALS. THAT WAS ON CAMERA AS WELL WHEN THEY HAD A ACCIDENT. KATE IS A MESS EXCEPT.
    WHEN SHE IS WITH STEVE THE MARRIED MAN THAT SHE HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WITH. IF HE WAS.
    SMART HE WOULD RUN FOR THE HILLS. SHE IS A MEAN AND NASTY PERSON. GOD BLESS THOSE KIDS.
    UNLESS JON WOULD BE SMART AND GO FOR FULL CUSTODY AND LET HER PAY HIM CHILD SUPPORT THOSE.
    KIDS ARE REALLY GOING TO NEED SOME SERIOUS COUNSELING WHEN THEY GET OLDER. SHE SHOULD
    BE CHARGED WITH CHILD ABUSE, ANIMAL CRUELTY, AND BEING A OVERALL _ ITCH FROM _ELL.

    Child Protective Services

  28. I saw those episodes and cringed when they decided to get German Shepherds, one of my favorite breeds. She said she didn't want any pets and they should have found something a little more in line with what she could/would be able to take care of. Content or no, both the producers and both Gosselins bear the responibility. Not only did they do a disservice to the animals, but also to the children, which could have been a great learning, loving and bonding experience for the rest of their lives.

    Really are all of you people so mindless and gullible that you believe some unknown idiots made up garbage because he has decided to make some money with a bogus tell all book? IF the allegations were true and he in fact had "PROOF" than he would not have had his book pulled from distribution and now faces a lawsuit as does the publisher for liable and defamation. Do you really believe that Kate would document abusing both her children and their pets in journals? Abusers don't believe they are abusers and they never journal about abusing. And exactly how did this person who has NEVER met this family get his hands on these so called Journals? And, don't you think that Jon as big a POS as he is wouldn't have taken those journals for himself to publish and make money since he is now broke and not even paying child support? Was she stern and often cruel to Jon? YES perhaps she got tired of raising 8 kids with a douche like him who didn't care about his kids, was a cheater, a liar and lazy! Maybe she got tired of there being 9 kids in the house instead of 8 kids and 2 adults. She is a RN do you think she can make enough money as the sole provider as a nurse? How much do you think child care would cost for 8 kids? She basically has no choice but to try to make money in the media in some fashion. Nursing pays well but not that well and Jon has never paid child support. They divorced when the sextuplets were 5. They are 8 now. 3 years and all Jon did was party away his money and now he is broke and still lazy! I think she came across as a terrible person on the show but I will NOT judge her as all of you on here seem to think you can because I am not walking in her shoes. Maybe before you start spouting off about others you should take a look at your own life and think….. what might someone say about me if it meant they could make some quick cash? And then what would total stranger who don't know me say?

    Never watched the reality show, but anyone who abuses animals oughta be given the same treatment. What I have seen of her though is the very epitome of a total bitch.

    I absolutely believe she abused her kids and their pets. I once saw a video, where her kids were crying that they were thirsty…she kept telling them to "shut up" a few minutes later SHE asked for a bottle of water…she drank it and put it away….never giving any to her children(who then cried "you are so mean"), before I saw that video I didn't like her…after the video I loathed her…what kind of mother treats her children this way…just another media whore!

  32. I fyou watched the show you could tell she didn't want the dogs, they were a big pain in the rear to her. I couldn't figure out why they got them, but now it makes sense –anything for ratings! She's a pig!

  33. One had to watch the old series to know what a pain in the neck she is. She verbally abused her husband, bossed him around, wouldn't let him play with the children (play was something Jon thought important) yelled at him in a store. She was very controlling. Ugh she was awful.

  34. yes she is a media whore, but come on, the only thing she hasn't been accused of is worshipping Satan. She is a control freak, yeah she probably left them in the kennel, but the kennel was not a cage, it was a large fenced in area of the back yard. We had a backyard dog when I was a kid, everyone did. They never came in the house but we were not abusing them. As for hitting the kids, I saw one picture of her swatting her kids behind and suddenly she is Hannibal Lecter? I am not a fan, she is WAAAAAAAYYYY too high strung and nuts for my taste, but no one knows her, I would be surprised if anyone here had 8 little kids at once, and we sit and judge based on a TV show and tabloid reports…..really? OH, and BTW, Jon was a manipulative, passive aggressive child. He knew just how to bring out the worst of her on TV and he did, then he sat around and played the victim until he thought he could ride the gravy train to greener pastures. Then he just left and complains he cannot pay child support because he is only a cable guy. Not exactly a stand up guy. Of the two, Kate is the better parent. whatever, next reality train wreck, coming right up…..

  35. Your WRONG Lisa and Cruel to put this woman through such horrid comments. Why don't you say something about yourself and leave others alone, I find its YOUR comments that are mean, how would you like it if people were to talk about you any time they wanted and spread ugly rumors!

  36. I don't believe it for a minute, just more rumors for someone to try and make some money off someone else! God won't pople ever get tired of being cruel and dragging this poor woman around and hurting her, I'm soooo sick of it, lets talk about the people who spread such ugliness and scrutinize their every movement and see how they like it!

  37. I'll just bet you would.

  38. Oh she did not, she just tried to make him get off of his chair and help with some of the endless work it takes to raise so many young children, I'd yell for my husband to try and help me too. And so would you, think about it.

  39. Finally, someone who can see straight, thanks for your comment, its these people who are the cruel ones, no matter who she is, she is a person and they dont care if they hurt someone or not, that is saying something about the people trying to make a buck on her, not on her!!!!!!

  40. Jodi Limes And I'm so sure your liine is tremendous isn't it!

    Totally selfish, self absorbed personality. She uses her kids for her fame, used her husband, and it seems, anyone around her until they were no longer useful. I'm sure there would be alot more obvious abuse if it were not for the fact that people are watching. Waiting until the kids are older to start reading the mommy dearest books they put out. Cannot understand, for the life of me, why or what she is supposedly famous for other than spitting out a multible birth. It sure as hell IS NOT because of personality or talent. John is sooo lucky he's away from her but, sympathize with the kids.

  43. YEAH! Thank you, I thought noone here could see through the smoke someone is trying to blow in their eyes, these people would believe she was an alien from outer space if someone told them that! hahaha, stupid. They just want to believe it so they can spend their days commenting about people and don't even care if they are hurting someone or not, shame on them, thanks to you Kind at Heart, your right!

  45. Oh my God Harriet, she didn't yell at a man in a store did she! Oh wow, what a monster! hahahah, oh jeeeez, everyone makes mistakes, Don't you know if they scrutinized every single thing and word you or anyone else did, they'd find something about you that others could misconstrue and call you something too, give me a break, she was only trying to get some help, can you imagine how hard having that many toddlers is? I'd yell too for jon to come and help, give me a break, you think yelling in a store is monumental? NOT

    Yeah, seriously… if these types of allegations are coming out, that should get involved. I honestly don't think that this man is lying… maybe over exaggerating, but there is some truth in it.

  49. Louella..you sure sound like you PERSONALLY KNOW this woman, which I am sure you don't but if she will talk to her husband and children in front of the cameras….heaven help them when she doesn't HAVE to play nice with them. and she has a couple of daughters from the looks of it that are taking right after her. I don't think the interviews with her former co workers would trash her if some of what we read is not a tiny bit true. I personally thought she was out of sight and out of mind….who keeps dredging all this crap up….and why….just to sell a book and why would anyone spend the money on the stupid thing…….let it die already!

  50. p.s. I quit watching when she could never say anything to ANYONE…without disdain dripping from her mouth….as though everyone was a freaking moron but her……no respect for anyone….no wonder her family is distanced.

    I agree..she is just looking for STARDOM and she will do WHATEVER it takes to get there. She IS a selfish witch and someone needs to supervise visits for the kids sake. You could tell she was a control freak during the show. Telling her "not to comment", shows that there is something to these "rumors"~

    Poor Jon, she was so condescending to him during the show. I am surprised he stayed as long as he did. Greedy thing and she resented the time the children took from her trying to become FAMOUS, which has not and will not ever happen.

    There isn't one man on this PLANET that would want to spend the rest of their lives with that witch. Why any network would spend a dime to have her parade her kids like a pimp is crazy.

  54. I'm betting this "Louella Turvey" is related to Kate Gosselin. The Great Kate's narcissistic and condescending attitude toward her abused husband was why I quit watching the show. It doesn't surprise me that she would abuse animals as well when they don't kneel before her.

  55. She's another HAS-BEEN we need to write off the page. She acts like THE PUBLIC OWES HER SOMETHING. Her EX-HUSBAND thinks that HE's famous..what a LOSER TOO. I hope that when those kids get bigger they turn out good and not like their parents.

  56. I guess her and Vick should move into together. their perfect for each other. I hope people read this to them.

    if its true then it cant be wrong, there is nothing that I am "putting her through" like she would care. I have nothing to say about me becasue i am not a control freak, nor am a abusive to my kids or animals, if you ever saw the show then you would know all comments left about her on here by me and or other people are pretty much true. They are only rumors if they arent true.

  58. I'm not surprised & neither should anyone else.Remmber the episode where there in a store & she yelled at Jon from across the store? I remmber thinking then, I wonder if she hits Jon & the kids.This just confirms what I've been thinking all along.She is very abusive with her mouth w/everyone so its not a strech that she hits.I'm tired of seeing her face & am wondering why she is still around.Any TV show that has her on it must think its ok to hit people, or else they would stop putting her on tv.I mean come on would you put a rapest on Tv & roll out the red carpet/of course not so why is she still on TV, to me hitting children & animals is as low as a pedafile or rapest.Please someone boycot her from ever being on TV again!

  60. Louella Turvey,everyone is entitled to there own opinion but for U to go off on Lisa leads me to think you find nothing wrong w/Kates behavior & there 4 must be just like her.Anyone that claims Kate as a victim needs to have there head examed.She is rude,self centered & would run her own kids over if they got in her way of being on tv.@Lisa was %100 right in how she see's Kate.Like I said your entitled but I just don't get why you can't see her for what she is.But just don't slam someone for speaking the truth the way they see it.

  61. I got a copy of the book before it was pulled…..this Robert Hoffman guy may be a little unethical for how he got his information off of her computer drive that she threw out in the TRASH (DUH!), but you cannot make up the stuff that is in there. I wouldn't even call it a book because there is very little of his writing. It is a bunch of e-mails and contracts with his own observations scattered around. He used to follow her for years for US Magazine. Absolutely scandalous!

    Kate Gosselin is such a horrid human being! I can read people VERY WELL-(not in the carnival like way Thersa Caputo does either)- so long before Kates divorce with Jon and the end of their show, I watched a bit of it where they were sitting on the couch together commenting on various things that went on in the episode. All Kate did was scowl, nag and pick at Jon in a very HATEFUL manne! Kate emotionally and sadistically drove Jon out of that marriage (she hit him while they were together) but yet it's always the guys fault? KG thinks she is something special, deserving tv appearances (she has the personality of a wet dish rag!) and a bodyguard? Give me a friggin break!@ Who is paying for all this? Jon, regardless of his "affairs," loves his children much more than she does-it's all about her-she needs help from a therapist. Kate is a self-absorbed, narcissistic. detached creature. Andy Cohen and "Watch What Happens Live!" rock but why promote this desperate "has been" by having her on the show with Morgan Fairchild (Morgan was probably like "WTF?" LOL) Kate was probably on her knees (hmmnnn…) begging for a job anyplace she could get it. She's turly disgracefu with a capital "D" and I feel very sad for her children.

  63. Louella Turvey ,When Jon & Kate plus 8 started & befor who do you think paid for everything? Jon did he worked a job like most people do to support his famliy.It was not till the show was on for 3 or 4 seasons that he quit his job.I think Jon was with-in his rights when he went a little nuts & had his affairs.The man got no credit for anything.Most men would have been overwelmed with that many kids but he stuck it out even tho he went to work only to come home & be bitched at & told to do this & that.He worked 8 10 hrs a day & worked another 4-5 while Kate sat on her a$$ barking orders.I'm not saying she didn't work she did taking care of the kids is hard work but ever since the kids were born they always had people there to help Kate.ALWAYS! So that was not fair to Jon.They both together should have done it.She was not a over worked housewife that TLC wanted people to think.

  64. Newsflash kind at heart, this guy was personal friends with Jon Gosselin, lived in the same town and followed Kate and her family for years as a paparazzi. His wife wrote for the local town paper and he worked for US Magazine. Kate knows exactly who he is. If you read the book you will see that it is not made up. The info was pulled from the hard drives that Kate stupidly disposed of in the trash….really? She actually does journal about roughing up her kids….she is not a smart woman….

  65. Yeah your right,but I think I read some where that the show was cancelled shortly after the bus/camping trip because (including Steve) refused to work with her anymore cause she was such a bitch.I could be wrong but I don't think Steve ever went back to work for her again.If you know something differant let me know.

  66. It's definitely possible that if she beat her kids, she also abused the pets. That usually goes hand in hand. However, Jon is just as bad if he let it happen. The response to seeing atrocities in the house would have been to divorce, take custody of the children, and call the ASPCA to get help for the animals, not to cheat and run off, leaving his own children to be beaten and the animals abused. That's what smells off about this whole thing. If the allegations are true, Jon is just as bad as Kate for letting it happen, like Mike McQueary is for watching Sandusky rape a boy in front of him and doing nothing but slink off.

    How is spanking a child with a spoon beating them? How is smacking a dog on its head and yelling at it abuse? This is another non story. There is no proof of abuse. No marks, bruises, or blood. I am sure it would have been reported if there was. Way to go Kate! I am glad someone has the nerve to raise their kids the right way.

    That show was garbage T.V. with the dysfunction it displayed. It seems that all of these obnoxious reality shows and the 'stars' in them (legends in their own minds?) let it all hang out with atrocious behavior. Just because they think they're 'special' because they have a show doesn't make them model examples of goodness and virtue. In fact, they're poor examples of humanity. People 'eat it up' with the impressionable and simpleminded emulating it in real life. Yelling in a store at any one? NO CLASS & TASTELESS. Learn some manners!!! And if you feel you have good reason, deal with it like an adult then and there or in private; not like a spoiled child having a temper tantrum.

    I think Louella Turvey is Kate in disguise. Get over it! She is a control freak who is so incredibly self absorbed that she did whatever it took to be in the media's limelight! Louella/Kate or whoever, if you idolize her so much you need to walk away from the computer and re-evaluate your own life.

    I don't think she abused her babies. Stuff like this can be blown WAAY out of proportion. Maybe her kids were having a bad week and she used the spoon, just because its not a common discipline it doesn't mean that it is abuse. Besides, if you have 8 kids you have to keep them in order, or they will take control. Didn't anyone ever think that if she WAS abusive, that Jon would of protected his children instead of leaving them?
