Jon Gosselin's Lady Trouble

As he preps for his legal battle with TLC, the reality star is worried about all the women he’s wooed — and dumped.

It seems that Kate Major is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to women who hold a grudge against Jon Gosselin. The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star swept the Star magazine reporter off her feet, and then let her fall back to earth with a thud when he dumped her a week or so later. Now Kate is set to testify in the lawsuit that TV network TLC has filed against Jon, but she’s not the only scorned woman he’s worried about.

An insider tells BettyConfidential that the pudgy lothario has left a string of women in his wake since splitting with his wife, Kate, in May.

“Jon meets girls, makes friends with them and even invites them to travel with him,” the pal says. And his on-off girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, doesn’t know about them. “After a short period, he will completely ignore them, their calls and their emails. It’s like Kate Major over and over again. It’s bizarre behavior and it does not bode well for Jon in case any of them are called to testify. He is going to have a lot to overcome when the trial begins next month.”

It’s admittedly hard to keep track of all the women Jon has been linked to over the past six months, but they include Deanna Hummel, who was photographed with Jon just before his split with Kate, and nanny Stephanie Santoro, who back in September claimed that she and Jon had a passionate month-long affair. But the insider says there are a number of other girls who Jon has had brief encounters with when out partying in bars and clubs.
As TLC builds its case against Jon for breach of contract, it is searching for anyone who might have been involved with lucrative side deals that Jon made without the network’s consent. With reports that Jon has been paid for TV and magazine interviews, club appearances and photo shoots, the lawyers potentially have a very long witness list. Currently in their sights? The paparazzi that Jon has befriended.

“Jon has dug himself a major hole,” the insider says. “He tools around Reading [Pennsylvania] with paparazzi in the front seat of his car and all those guys are on his speed dial, so that he can keep them updated on where he’s going to be. He has befriended most of them and they drive around town together shooting the breeze. He moans about Kate and his messy life and is pretty willing to commiserate with anyone who will listen.”

    It makes me laugh! What is his appeal? What woman would find him attractive? He is a whiney, slubby degenerate and he is an AWFUL looking Asian man! His attitude is so obnoxious, how could ANYONE tolerate him, let alone spend time with him, let alone sleep with him? What a chump!

    Ugh! I hate when people whine about Jon and then commend Kate like she' s the saint in all this! Neither one of them is worth anyone's time or effort. BOTH of them need to stay out of the spotlight (ie no interviews, no book deals, no public scenes, etc ZERO, ZILCH, NADA), not date for at least a few years, and focus on being better parents and people to each other and society.

    Well said AHF, I concur.

    These two are nothing but publicity leeches who are to busy trying to one up each other whether it be negative or positive. It's all about accruing media time.
