Kate Gosselin's 'Today' show interview

Best opinion: NJ Star-Ledger, Baltimore Sun, People

Kate Gosselin was "purposefully vague" on the Today show Monday, said Vicki Hyman in New Jersey's The Star-Ledger. During "her first big interview" since her divorce announcement, the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star denied that the reality show "had anything to do with the breakup of her marriage," and she skirted questions from Today host Meredith Vieira. But Gosselin did "tearfully" say that her "split from husband Jon was 'necessary,'" and that "she's still wearing her wedding ring so as not to upset her children."

Meredith Vieira certainly didn't give Kate Gosselin "a free ride," said David Zurawik in The Baltimore Sun. "Vieira kept a journalistic distance and professional edge throughout the interview, asking solid questions." And although "Kate seemed to want to paint herself as a brave and determined mom who was wronged by Jon," Vieira "was not playing that game."

But "even with their divorce pending," said Stephen M. Silverman in People, Kate Gosselin admitted that "she still loves her soon-to-be ex," and that she was hurt when Jon so "suddenly" started dating Hailey Glassman. But Kate's "chief concern" seems to be the well-being of their children, and "with the domestic squabbles no longer taking place face-to-face, she said, 'There's more peace in the house now.'"

Posted by Val, Wednesday, August 12, 2009, 10:03 am I agree with Tim. This is a big who cares? There are so many important events happening in the world. I wish the media would quit giving them coverage.

Posted by Edward S. Wilbarger, Wednesday, August 12, 2009, 11:17 am I recently subscribed and was told that an email confirmation would be sent. I have not seen it. My credit card has been charged. what is the status?

Posted by DW, Saturday, August 15, 2009, 10:12 am Maybe it isnt about Jon and Kate. I dont know them at all except what I have heard in the news. It could be that people are finally seeing a public display of what is happening across America in a majority of homes. Most marriages end over infidelity. Years ago, a person who acted as Jon has would be considered a pariah. Over time we have treated it as no big deal. Most people may be reacting to as an eye opener a more public display of a huge problem we have and it needs to be dealt with. Jon should be ashamed of himself. And so should we.
