‘Jon & Kate’: Jon Gosselin says photo of him with another woman ’showed poor judgment on my part’

Posted on May 4, 2009

Jon Gosselin — co-star of TLC’s top-rated Jon & Kate Plus 8 — issued a statement Wednesday after US magazine published a paparazzi photo of him leaving a Pennsylvania bar with an unidentified woman. The picture, which the magazine alleges was taken around 2 a.m., shows Gosselin in the passenger seat of a car with a young woman behind the wheel. It was reportedly taken at a bar called Legends on April 18 near the Gosselins’ home about 90 minutes outside of Philadelphia.

“Like most people, I have male and female friends and I’m not going to end my friendships just because I’m on TV,” Gosselin said. “However, being out…late at night showed poor judgment on my part. What makes me sick is that my careless behavior has put my family in this uncomfortable position. My family is the most important thing in my life and it kills me that these allegations have hurt them.”

This isn’t the first time the tabloids have splashed a photo of Gosselin with a woman who wasn’t Kate, his wife and mother of their eight children. In February, the gossips pounced on a pic that showed Gosselin with two young coeds at a college bar. TLC has insisted the encounter was innocent — he agreed to pose for the picture — but these kind of incidents are definitely taking their toll on the 32-year-old father. In an exclusive interview with EW last week, Gosselin admitted that the show, which is about to begin its fifth season on May 25, has offered financial security for his uber-family (he quit his job in 2007 so he can be with his family — and the show — full time). Still, Gosselin says he really doesn’t like the public life. (Read more here…)
