Despite violating every basic moral law of parenting and not being a douchebag, Jon Gosselin is claiming that TLC violated child labor laws.
In court papers unearthed by Radaronline, Gosselin lays out startling accusations against the cable channel, and reveals that he and Kate made just $2000 per episode back when their show began.
For starters, his lawyers argue that TLC violated Pennsylvania child labor laws by failing to obtain proper permits allowing their eight children to be filmed for Jon and Kate Plus Eight. And while the TV parents were obligated by contract to obtain those permits themselves (versus the network), his attorneys contend that this was TLC's attempt to "circumvent the laws."
Gosselin's team also argues that the restrictions of TLC's contract prevent him from earning money -- via appearances, endorsements and the like -- as a celebrity. "Mr. Gosselin will be unable to earn a living as a television personality, and therefore be precluded from supporting his eight children," the papers state.
It's funny how he is only bringing this to light after he's not making money from the show anymore. You know, I'm sure he did it for the kids or whatever, just weird he waited like 3 years to blow the whistle.
