Dead Beat Dad Jon Gosselin Facing Jail
Three years ago, he had a full bank account and a successful TLC reality series, which lasted five seasons.
But Jon Gosselin, who recently lost his 'normal' job as the director of sales and promotions for Gameface International, has squandered his fortune to the point where he faces jail time or losing his home unless he can pay child support for his eight children.
'I can't afford to pay my rent and the domestic-relations staff tell me they will put me in jail unless I pay child support,' the 35-year-old father said in the new issue of Star magazine.
After boasting on Twitter about his 'drama-free simple life' in March, Gosselin added that if he loses his home, he will lose custody of twins, Cara and Madelyn, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel.
'I decided to take the high road and quit reality television and now look, I'm going to end up in jail because I can't afford to pay child support to Kate who has plenty of money,' said the former reality star, who complained that
maintaining a good job was difficult because people would recognize him from the series.

Meanwhile, Nadya 'Octomom' Suleman, who is a similarly cash-strapped reality parent, has gone to desperate lengths to keep her house and support her 14 children.
The 37-year-old has gone on welfare, made a solo porn film, stripped topless at ThePlayhouse Gentlemen's Club in Miami, and she's now begging for money on GoFundMe.com.
After Jon and Kate's bitter divorce three years ago, the 37-year-old blonde continued to film Kate Plus 8 for two seasons before the show was canceled.
Coincidentally, Kate has recently become a columnist for CouponCabin offering budget-conscious parents like herself savvy tips on how to keep costs down on everything from clearance-priced back-to-school supplies to swimming pool-related expenses.
'As with everything else, I try to buy ahead, buy smart, and buy on sale,' Kate wrote on the blog last week.
The avid runner finished the three-mile Rock 'n' Roll Mini Marathon in Chicago on July 22 in 29 minutes and 54 seconds alongside her CouponCabin co-workers, placing 184th out of 1,126 total runners.

The toned and tanned star, who admitted to feeling 'lonely' in a February episode of Dr. Drew's Lifechangers, is looking to cash in on a new reality series where she'll look for love, but it has yet to be picked up by a network.
'[Kate] is willing to travel around the country in order to meet Mr. Right,' a source told E! News.
'She's in fantastic shape because of all her marathon training. This feels like the right time for her.'

Meanwhile, her financially-strapped ex-husband does not support Kate's new dating series.
'I think this is completely ridiculous! We have eight children and they need us, she is putting reality TV and dating in front of the kids who need to have their mother,' said Gosselin, who's dating mother-of-three Liz Jannetta.
'Why not date the old fashioned way? I know I have a lot to be thankful for, but Kate's need to be famous is not one of them.'
