We’ve known for quite some time that Kate Gosselin is the worst mom in the history of reality television, but now we have the court documents to prove it!
Yes, papers from a 2010 custody hearing have leaked and they seem to confirm our worst fears about the controversial mother of eight.
First, we learned details of the child abuse allegations against Kate, and they painted an ugly picture of a mom with a hair-trigger temper.
After that, leaked docs confirmed that Kate left her kids with a teenage babysitter for six days, rather than allowing them to spend even one night with their father.
Now, we’re finding out even more insider info about Kate’s scheming, manipulative ways, and it seems she wasn’t above using her kids as pawns in her never-ending war against their father.
According to Jon’s lawyers, when the couple’s oldest daughters were just ten years old, Kate bought them cell phones so that they could “report on what Father is doing” when they visited him.
The lawyers claim that the phones came with strict instructions and the girls were ordered to text Kate with frequent updates during their weekend visits with dad.
It’s previously been reported that Kate ordered her nanny to spy on Jon, but this is the first time she’s been accused of using her children to gain intel.
Jon’s attorneys say she hoped to gather information to help her cause in future custody battles. Ironically, it looks as though the stunt backfired.
