As we all know, the couple had a pretty nasty split but are supposedly on good terms these days. I don’t see that lasting, however, since Jon says<\/a> he can no longer afford to make his house payments if he supports his children:<\/p>\n

\u201dI am a single father who\u2019s trying to make ends meet during a recession. What do I do pay child support or rent? I need to support my kids, but I could lose my house, and I need my home to continue to have custody.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently Jon’s money has run out after all those years on television. Oh, and he hasn’t bothered finding a job since those glorious days of reality TV. He says it’s because he’s still recognizable but I’m not buying it. Remember, people: Jon used to work as an IT analyst is being a Z-list celebrity really a hindrance to that profession? I highly doubt it. Yes, it’s rough out there with the current economy but c’mon, the guy could get a job if he really wanted one. I truly believe that.<\/p>\n

Perhaps I’d be more compassionate if Jon didn’t think he deserves a medal for getting kicked off of<\/del> “quitting” TV:<\/p>\n

\u201dI decided to take the high road and quit reality television<\/a> and now look, I\u2019m going to end up in jail because I can\u2019t afford to pay child support to Kate who has plenty of money.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Look, I get the sentiment, but Kate being a total fame whore<\/a> has nothing to do with Jon finding a job. If you want to be a good father, not to mention a solid role model to your children, get a freaking job and stop your whining.<\/p>\n
