Jon Returns Cash, But Kate Doesn't: Lawyer

Kate will faces contempt for declining to account for $55,000

Share

(Newser) – Jon Gosselin has returned enough of the $180,000 he withdrew from a family bank account to avoid being held in contempt of court, his lawyer says. Instead, his estranged wife may end up in contempt: The court also ordered Kate Gosselin to account for $55,000 she took from the account, Mark Heller tells People. The lawyer wouldn’t say how much Jon returned, but he did have the option to reserve some of the $180,000 if he showed it was put to “appropriate use.”

This goes to show what happens when narcissistic people chase fame. Fame is fleeting. Family is forever. Unfortunately, these two nuts chose poorly and put their children last.
