Jon Gosselin Warning Sign, BREAKING NEWS: TLC Responds To Jon Gosselin, Suspends Filming

It looks like Jon Gosselin is fighting a bitter divorce war on two fronts now. TLC has now responded to Jon's bombshell that he wants to shut down the reality show because he doesn't think it's good for his kids.

The network released this statement Thursday morning:

"We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic. Despite Jon Gosselin's repeated self destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents.

It doesn't take any reading between the lines to figure out that TLC is going to use their contract with Jon as leverage in this battle. And Jon's lawyer has already staked out the position that the newly renamed Kate Plus 8 does not, in his opinion, have the right to film the children based on Jon's previous consent.

Still, TLC's statements is one of the strongest we can recall of a network bashing its own talent. Calling Jon "self destructive" and "erratic" and characterizing his movements as "unprofessional actions" are certainly fighting words!

Some guy -- we don't know who -- posted a large sign on the entrance gate to the home of Jon and Kate Gosselin in Wernersville, PA. Thursday morning warning TLC to back off. The sign reads: "No film crew or production company from TLC is permitted on this property under penelty of trespass."
At the bottom of the sign, it reads: Johnathon Gosselin. (Note - they misspelled "penalty" and "Jonathon") Jon's attorney via his attorney Mark J. Heller, sent the cable network a pair of letters stating all filming and production crews are heretofore banned from his family's home. The letters from Jon's attorney to TLC were dated Tuesday, the same day the network announced it was minimizing his role on the show and changing the name to Kate Plus 8.

TLC Says Goodbye To Jon, Jon Gosselin Halts Divorce, Watch "Tea Party" Here!

So long, Jon Gosselin! TLC announces 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' will be relaunched as 'Kate Plus 8' : Daily News.com

It's "Kate Plus Eight," minus Jon. After weeks of tumbling ratings and a constant barrage of tabloid stories following the stars of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," TLC is going in a different direction.

Starting in November, the show will be relaunched as "Kate Plus Eight," TLC revealed Tuesday."Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family," TLC president Eileen O'Neill said in a statement. "The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate's journey really resonates with our viewers."

The network is also in development on a project with Kate for 2010.

"Kate Plus Eight" will continue to focus on the eight Gosselin children — 5 year-old sextuplets and 8 year-old twins — but now "include a deeper focus on Kate's role...and her journey as a single mother."Last week, only 1.7 million viewers tuned in to "Jon & Kate," nearly 80 percent down from the season premiere.

The statement also said that TLC would continue its "exclusive" relationship with Jon Gosselin and that he would continue to appear on the series but on a less regular basis. In June, after months of speculation, the Gosselin's confirmed on the show that they were divorcing. In response, TLC pulled new episodes of the series and waited until August to resume airing them.

During the hiatus, Jon was photographed squiring several different women and rumors began swirling that he was auditioning for other reality shows. "Kate Plus Eight" will premiere Nov. 2.

Jon Gosselin Slams the Brakes on His Divorce!?!: E! Online.com

It's not what you think. On second thought, it's exactly what you think: The Gosselin who found himself on the losing side of the public sympathy battle is taking a stab at some crafty legal (not to mention PR) maneuvering in a bid to save a little face and not get completely short-shrifted in his divorce.

Which, with Kate as our witness, will go through as planned.

While Jon Gosselin's rep confirmed to E! News that the octodad did in fact cop to In Touch Weekly that he "used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon" after his divorce—sorry, Hailey, that was his plural, not ours—and that he would "like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting," that's about as far as his plans for reconciliation span.

And that's despite his submission to a court-approved Pennsylvania arbitrator this morning seeking to suspend his divorce proceedings for 90 days.

A source close to the situation told E! News the legal move, which—coupled with his oh-so-sincere tabloid quotes—may give the outward impression of a desire to reconcile, was "not an emotional or romantic decision."

Yeah, no kidding.
