(Newser) – It was only a matter of time before Kate Gosselin, the other half of Jon & Kate Plus 8, got a cheating scandal of her very own. And the reality show mom is shocked—shocked!—at the lengths tabloids will go to, even “[making] stuff up to connect the dots,” she tells People. Unlike bar-hopping hubby Jon, Kate is taking the proactive path, preemptively denying rumors of an affair.

“The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about our security person and his family. Already the allegations they’re making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified,” she says. “When will they stop? They’re going to keep going, and they’ll make up stuff to connect the dots.”

We willingly made a conscious decision to put this out there. Our friends and family did not. I had no idea we would potentially take down the people that we love around us. - Kate Gosselin

In this situation, your circle grows smaller and smaller, and it's very natural to become friends with your manager, your publicist, your security team. They're the only people you have left. - Kate Gosselin

jaguarj, you know as much as i do, that it's not their choice, the media will just keep throwing them into the spotlight. with that being said, i think it's time they realize that they should stop doing their show. then again, she's too dependent on the money being made from the show... how sad.
