TLC Responds To Jon Gosselin, Suspends Kate Plus 8 Filming

Just a day after TLC announced that it would rename Jon and Kate Plus 8 to Kate Plus 8, Jon Gosselin fired off a cease and desist letter to TLC to stop production on Kate Plus 8 on his property.

Jon suddenly realized that "his family was like a trainwreck" and the show is "detrimental" to his kids.

"Jon realized his family was like a trainwreck, so he decided to put the brakes on the divorce and on the show . because if he didn't the family would be in a mortal accident . the victims of a trainwreck," Gosselin's attorney said.

Jon's plan apparently worked because TLC has halted production on the show and released the following statement:

"We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic. Despite Jon Gosselin's repeated self destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents.

Joining in on the fun, Jon's estranged wife Kate Gosselin has also released a statement:

"It appears that Jon's priority is Jon and his interests ... I'm saddened and confused by Jon's public media statements. Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits our children."
