I just read this on another website. Jon was on an "apology tour" this weekend...:

It was just last week that Hailey Glassman admitted to the world (via The Insider, natch) that her boyfriend, Jon Gosselin, was sometimes emotionally abusive.

Needless to say, Jon responded in the only logical manner. He's been speaking out with Rabbi Schmuley Boteach at his side and admitting that he may have been misguided on some of his life choices. Last night they were at the West Side Jewish Center and today I saw them on one of those morning talk shows.

At last night's appearance, Jon explained that people just don't understand him. "I think I'm just misunderstood. I'm not a fame seeker. Everyday I look in the mirror and I wonder [why I'm famous]. I don't sing. I don't dance. I'm not a Nobel Peace Prizewinner. I just had eight kids and I had a show on TLC. behavior. Half the stuff I've done, if I look at my moral compass, I shouldn't have done. I know that but I did it anyway. It's like fame canceled out conviction."

He claims that he and Hailey are just slowing their pace. "We decided not to take a break, just slow things down, until I get through my divorce and I know everything is settled and okay. I don't want another failure in my relationships. I don't want to make the same mistakes I made with Kate, with Hailey. I would just be repeating the pattern over again."

Speaking of repeating patterns, Jon stated that he'll be privately apologizing to Kate and then immediately followed up that promise by making a public apology:

"I want to apologize to Kate in private," he said. "I'll apologize to her for openly having relationships in the public eye. That was a huge mistake, because if she would've done that to me, I would have been extremely pissed off. Not because our relationship is over, it's almost like a stab in the back. And now that I think about it, it was a very wrong thing to do. I definitely regret it."

Referring to himself and girlfriend Hailey Glassman, he said the two of them "should never have gone to France."

Gosselin claims he is well aware of the public's perception of him but insists he is his own harshest critic. "It's hard for me because I can't forgive myself for the things I've done," he said. "So to ask for forgiveness from someone who may never forgive me is tough for me. I do apologize to Kate. I'm sorry for doing the things I did. I do ask for her forgiveness."

To recap, Jon's misunderstood, he's still with Hailey even though she claims that he's a liar, and he's publicly announced that he's going to privately apologize to Kate for all his wrongdoings.

Good for Jon realizing that he needs to change his behavior. At least he can recognize his fault, ADMIT THEM, and try to change them.

Unlike Kate who still can't admit she does anything wrong and just blames Jon. When will she apologize to Jon for causing problems in their relationship?

Sure. That's true. But this just smells publicity ploy when he realized that he was coming off as a major douche. If he was so keen on being a good person and all that shite he's been spewing, he'd just STAY OUT OF THE PRESS. Yes, the paparazzi will follow him for a while but if he keeps his yapper shut and not give anyone anything to talk about he would not be in this little pickle would he. The guy is a worthless famewhore. At least Kate accepts her famewhoredness and basically shouts to the 7 winds that she wants to be on tv. Jon whines about his sorry existence but then publicly talks about how he privately wants to fix things. Yeah. Genious.

I still hate the two worthless twats those children have for parents.

Still team 8 all the way!
