Jon and Kate plus eight fans... kate and aunt jodi fight?

Question

Sooo i hear that Kate and Jodi are fighting because TLC wanted to pay Jodi but Kate said no. She only wanted her and Jon to be paid.

Does anyone know if this is true?

What's your opinion?

I feel like I can see what they are both talking about. Jodi because she feels she deserves to get paid sense she makes many appearences on the shoe. And Kate because she doesn't want people to profit off her kids.

What do you think?

Answer 1

I read a few articles on this topic. I love the kids, they are spectacular, but I strongly disagree with kate. Although she is doing a great job raising her children, she is being unfair to her family.

Answer 2

I think kate is being dumb...why wouldn't you want anyone in your family to get paid, it's not like she is paying out of her own pocket...if it were a friend I could see what she is talking about but come on they are family! If i was the aunt I would tell kate to please not have contact with me while the cameras are around. Give kate a taste of her own medicine.

Answer 3

I think Jon and (more so) Kate are pimping their children for money and freebies.  Jodi has posted a VLOG stating that everything on her sister's blog is the truth.  

Answer 4

I don't have a high opinion of Kate at all.  According to Jodi's sister, Julie, Jodi didn't even care about getting paid...she had been doing it for free for years.  Here's an excerpt from Julie's blog...

"When Jodi was initially contacted about getting paid, the "person" said it was standard in the industry to give a contract to recurring people on reality shows. They said that she couldn't sign anything, so they were working on an "honorarium", but they had an "obstacle" to work around. Jodi and Kevin questioned them, and that's when they found out that Kate was the obstacle. They were told that when this person initially mentioned a contract for Jodi before the filming of season 2, Kate said, "If anyone else gets paid, we're done!" Jodi was asked not to tell Kate about the conversation because this person was "scared", and that she needed to be "patient". Kevin and Jodi didn't want to believe that Kate would do something like that, especially to them. They didn't feel comfortable going behind her back or taking the word of someone else without talking to their own FAMILY. They didn't want to be secretive or do anything that could potentially come between their "relationship" with J&K. They went against the advice and asked Kate, which I feel was the right thing for them to do. Kevin and Jodi have integrity and family means something to them.

So when Kevin went down and asked Kate what was going on, the first thing she did was yell into the other room, "Jon, If anyone else gets paid, we are done!" Then, she changed her tune and laughed at Kevin. She actually clapped her hands in his face for emphasis, as you've seen her do on TV... "You are nothing!" "Nobody cares about you!" "This is about us!" She later said that she was relaying what the "people" involved with the show told her. Although, she wasn't aware of the several other conversations that Jodi had with those "people" telling her the complete opposite. As soon as Kevin left (it was later found out), she was on the phone, putting a stop to any prospect of Jodi getting paid, and working out the hiring of a third party. I'm sure there was a lot of scrambling going on with the people from the show because they went against Kate and tried to work out something for Jodi.

A few days later, Jodi told Kate that she didn't care about the contract, and money had never been her motive. Kate twisted things around again. She said that she couldn't ALLOW Jodi to continue to be on the show because she wasn't going to get paid (because the network didn't care about her) and "Who would do that for free? Who would open their home, be filmed and not get paid?" Interesting, Kate--Jodi had been doing that for two years already, completely unaware that being paid was even an option."
