Jon Gosselin Trashes Kate in GMA Interview

Someone ring a bell, because it’s round two in the Jon + Kate get divorced saga and Jon Gosselin has gotten seriously catty.

In an interview on Good Morning America this morning, Jon trashed Kate, claiming among other things that he was “abused” and “beaten down” during his marriage.

“I despise her,” he told ABC News’ Chris Cuomo. “In 10 years, I’ve never gone out – when she said, ‘I don’t want you going out,’ I used to say, ‘OK, I’m not going to go out.’ I was very passive. This is the first time I said, ‘You know what? I want to see my friends. I’m going out,’” Jon said. “That was the first time in my life I ever stood up to Kate. I just felt like I had to take back some time in my life, and I did it. And I felt really good. I made my own decision. I was beaten down for so long, I couldn’t even make my own decision. And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what’s she gonna do? Divorce me? All right. Obviously. You know.”

Asked about magazines that portray Kate as the victim and him as a dirt bag, Jon said that he wants to “finish what we got to finish, and move on with our lives, and stop feeding into the frenzy” (some break out the violins!)

“You get frustrated and pent up. It’s so frustrating. I have no voice in the media, and now I do. And I just want to let the world know that I’m a real person with feelings. Yeah, okay, I made mistakes. Maybe it wasn’t the best the idea to go out to the clubs. But we all learn from mistakes, except mine are public.”
