Jon Minus Kate & 8?

The stars of the TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8 are speaking out on recent tabloid reports alleging that Jon Gosselin has been unfaithful to his wife.

While Us Weekly stands by its scoop that Jon Gosselin is cheating on his notoriously-overbearing wife with a 23-year-old grade school teacher, the reality personalities tell Entetainment Weekly that the allegations are untrue and “really upsetting.”

“I may be guilty of choosing the wrong time and place to hang out with my friends, but I am not guilty of cheating on my wife,” Jon said in a statement to EW.

Kate also spoke to EW, saying: “It’s disturbing and unfortunate that these tabloids have gone as far as they have to try and bring us down. Jon’s poor judgment and irresponsible behavior has also without a doubt caused some added tension and stress between the two of us.”
