TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 began as a heartwarming story, a popular and family friendly show depicting the journey of parents raising sextuplets and twins.

It seems almost quaint to look back on those days.

Considering how their marriage fell apart, and how many controversies and scandals Jon and Kate Gosselin have been involved in since the two split up?

We don’t even know where to begin …

Cracks started to show in the couple’s marriage even in the "good" days when Kate was simply needling, nagging and belittling her husband on camera.

Then came Jon’ affair with 23-year-old school teacher Deana Hummel, and the rest is history. Except history has been increasingly, unyieldingly insane.

Scroll through the gallery above to revisit some of the monster mom’s most infamous moments, from the olden days to the present. There are a LOT.

From her many questionable decisions of years past to the recent Child Services investigation of Kate Gosselin for abusing son Collin, we’ve covered it all.
