The usually calm Jon Gosselin lost it when talking about claims that he and his wife Kate are exploiting their children by filming them on Jon & Kate Plus 8.

In a new interview with PEOPLE Magazine – appearing under the headline “Enough Is Enough” –the alleged adulterer speaks out for the first time on the woes plaguing his family. Jon says his eight children are healthy and happy, despite the scandals engulfing the brood.

Both Jon and Kate Gosselin — the parents of 8-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets — have denied allegations that they have been cheating on each other during their strained 10 year marriage. Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor has said it’s looking into whether the hit TLC reality series is complying with the state’s child labor law.

“Exploited?” he asks. “I don’t even want to use that word, because I think it’s ridiculous.” Jon, 32, says that his children’s happiness has been and will continue to be his main priority — even if that means quitting the multimillion dollar show.

Jon Gosselin speaks in the June 15 issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
