It’s Official! Kate Gosselin Confirms She’s Filing Lawsuit Against Jon & Book Author

It’s been four years since Kate Gosselin and Jon Gosselin filed for divorce but the real drama is just beginning. Kate will file a lawsuit against her ex husband and Robert Hoffman, author of a self-published e-book that is largely based on material from her computer. And Kate confirmed her lawsuit, releasing this statement that was made available to Radar: “This lawsuit is absolutely moving forward.”
Two other lawsuits connected to the situation  also will be filed and lawyers have already been hired and some subpoenas prepared and sent, Radar has learned. The law firms Randazza Legal Group and Polsinelli Shughart will be handling the three court cases, including Kate’s. One of the other lawsuits will be against a person who runs what she calls a “parody” site but includes venomous anti-Kate rhetoric and worse. There will be multiple plaintiffs in that suit, James McGibney, founder of the Bullyville.com website told RadarOnline exclusively, revealing that at least 80 people have come forward claiming they were victimized.
And McGibney, who set these events in motion, will also file suit against a Twitter user who apparently sent messages claiming he was sending people to harm her, and worse.“When BullyVille says we’re going after someone, we mean it,” McGibney told Radar exclusively. He adds that subpoenas have been issued to obtain IP addresses where “implied death threats” originated. Radar recently revealed a series of 2009 text messages from Jon to his then-girlfriend Hailey Glassman in which Jon talks about grabbing Kate’s computer to “put the nail in her coffin.” He also discussed how he is a silent partner and has a “pal” named Robert. And Hoffman has never backed off his criticism of Kate, even after his e-book was pulled off sale by Amazon 48 hours after it went up. He told Radar he has called child protective services on her twice. (McGibney says there is no record of those calls.) McGibney ignited a firestorm in the twitterverse weeks ago when he warned people who he felt had “crossed the line” in slamming Kate to back off and even apologize. He used a third-party repository website to post some critics’ real names and addresses.“I saw cyber-stalking and bullying,” McGibney told Radar.That pal is Hoffman, who has accused Kate of abusing her children and much, much more. 
Hoffman denies that Jon helped him obtain the material from Kate’s computer and his supporters have contended the text messages are fake. But Glassman tells Radar that her attorney verified the texts were real with the phone carrier in 2009. Kate has been gathering material for a lawsuit against Jon for months, as Radar was first to report. Lawyers have not made a final determination what causes of action she will include, but there will be several, Radar has learned. Hoffman is often cited as a key figure for the anti-Kate crowd, who point to his e-book as “proof” for their charges against her, including mistreating her children, and worse.Kate’s bombshell lawsuit against her ex-husband and Hoffman is the headlining event and the mom of eight believes Jon and Hoffman secretly worked together, attempting to profit by spreading defamatory information against her – and worse. Kate has long thought that Jon worked with Hoffman in 2009 to obtain the hard drive from her computer, which Hoffman claims he pulled out of her trash. His scathing e-book was filed with contracts, emails and other material that came from Kate’s computer. Radar was first to reveal Hoffman and Jon are pals and Jon helped him get access to Kate’s computer.
He demanded apologies from some he deemed the worst offenders – and one person apologized to Kate through RadarIn addition to Kate’s lawsuit, a multiple plaintiff lawsuit is in the works against “Lisa Knight” from Russellville, KY, who, according to McGibney, “is the owner of a blog site where Kate Gosselin haters congregated for years. “He says cyber-stalking and other activity is connected to that site and will form the basis of a lawsuit. In addition, McGibney told Radar that more than 80 people have come forward as potential plaintiffs.But McGibney’s actions also created a reaction, with critics continuing to blast Kate – and McGibney “Fans reached out and pleaded for help,” McGibney told Radar about pro-Kate fans who said they were being bullied – and worse – by an anti-Kate faction.“After seeing death threats and what has been clearly defined as cyber-stalking and brutal harassment, I took action,” McGibney told Radar. When he revealed some of the Kate haters names, many apologized but others “kicked up their hatred into overdrive,” he says. And in the course of sorting through the situation, McGibney said he came across compelling evidence that Jon took Kate’s computer hard drive without her permission and got it to Hoffman “in an effort to defame Kate for monetary gain.” McGibney also tells Radar there is a lawyer who he believes is tied into the money scheme that Jon and Robert hatched. “This lawyer owned and operated a birth fetish video website, including categories like teen births and birth on toilets,” he told Radar, adding that “screenshots of Google Adsense code clearly tied the owner of (an anti-Kate website) to this birth fetish video website.”
“Lisa Knight” responded to Radar’s request for comment earlier this week, admitting she runs the site but telling us that Lisa Knight is her aunt’s name, not hers. “Lisa Knight is not even my real name, it is my aunt’s name,” she told Radar as part of an email about something else that was posted online, which she claims is not true. “I started out using her name about 5 or 6 years ago. It was just the first thing that popped in my head at the time.”
McGibney’s response? Lawsuit Number 3 will feature McGibney as the plaintiff against a Twitter user.“To solve that problem, BullyVille is naming everyone who lives in the house tied into that IP address as a defendant,” he told Radar. “It’s only a matter of time before we all find out who really runs this.” “She falsely stated that I hired people to kill her and hired someone to kick down her door and kill her,” McGibney told Radar. He says she accused him of hiring people to “send mail bombs to Kate’s haters.”

No More Anonymity Haters! Kate Gosselin Twitter Haters Real Names Released, One A 62 Year Old Senior Citizen!

No More Anonymity! Kate Gosselin Twitter Haters Real Names Released, Employers Contacted By Anti-Bullying Group


Splash News

RadarOnline.com: Several people who have “crossed the line” in expressing their hatred of Kate Gosselin on Twitter have had their real names publicly released today and their employers will be contacted, says the man in charge of the anti-bullying group BullyVille. “We are releasing names today of the worst of the worst(offenders),” James McGibney told RadarOnline.com in an interview Monday. McGibney heads www.bullyville.com and also delivered his message on Twitter, via @BullyVille. He released names, addresses and more onto a popular repository website, complete with a nearly step-by-step narrative of how he turned an email address into a real address and more through cyber sleuthing.True to his word, shortly after speaking with Radar, McGibney began releasing what he says are the identities of some of the most vicious Kate haters – people he says who have crossed the line into bullying the mom of eight.

And he has some powerful support. The group Anonymous tweeted supported for Bullyville a few days ago, writing: “We openly support any operation that
 @bullyville launches. Any attack on them is a direct attack on us. #expectus“We are also contacting all their employers with their tweets,” McGibney said, explaining that he is only trying to stop the worst offenders who he believes have crossed the line in bullying Kate. But members of the anti-Kate faction are not going away quietly and that has created a raucous, vitriolic environment that continued to grow worse on Monday.“Talk to other non-fans; there are criminal investigations and likely upcoming lawsuits,” one anti-Kate Twitter user messaged Radar’s managing editor without giving any specifics.

“We go after notorious bullies,” he told Radar. “They are absolutely vicious to Kate. One person sent over 72,000 tweets to Kate and they are all absolutely vicious.”
McGibney, who told Radar he is a former Marine, says he is not doing this to protect a celebrity but that he is dedicated to stopping the worst forms of bullying anywhere he can.People who have gone too far, McGibney says, are the ones who call Kate a child abuser, curse her and attack anyone who supports her. “It’s going to get messy,” he says of his new initiative to expose the identities of Kate haters. “Sometimes you have to be a bully to get a bully,” he says, acknowledging that’s a controversial stance, but adding it is necessary and his group is dedicated to stopping bullying outside of the celebrity realm. “Kids are driven to suicide by bullies and we go after those bullies every day,” he said.

Releasing today (regarding Kate) are the worst of the worst. The vicious. The ones who tell her she’s a child abuser, a (censored), that she should go kill herself. We are also contacting all their employers with their tweets. It’s 100% factual.” McGibney has tangled with some of the Web’s biggest bullies before, going after revenge porn web sites and the notorious Hunter Moore. And he has had much success. But many members of the anti-Kate faction are not giving up. “First let me say that nobody should ever be bullied, for any reason and I support anyone who stands up for and protects people who can’t protect themselves.Robert Hoffman, the author of an anti-Kate e-book, is a pal of Jon Gosselin and previously told RadarOnline.com that he reported Kate to Child Protective Services (which took no action against her.)  “We are getting ready to release a bombshell about the true intentions of Kate’s bullies,” McGibney told Radar, promising more details this week“Remember her quote to her ex-husband during one of their shows. “Stand with me or stand against me!!!!!!” There are no shades of gray with Kate Gosselin.“April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.” But for Hoffman and other Kate detractors, Bullyville promises that the war has just begun.



Kate ‘Stalker’ Identified: She’s A Senior Citizen! War Rages Between Pro And Anti-Kate Groups

RadarOnline.com: A war between pro- and anti-Kate camps has been raging on Twitter, but now it’s gone nuclear as the group @Bullyville named what they claim is Kate’s stalker.And that stalker, they claim, is a senior citizen — a 62-year-old woman! (Radar is not naming that person or giving out her Twitter account.)

Bullyville posted a screen grab on Monday of a tweet apparently sent to Kate containing what appears to be a chilling threat plus profane, abusive language. Those tweets took the battle over Kate to a new, even more fierce level, with her detractors – and some apparent onlookers – turning up the heat on the conversation. One anti-Kate person remarked about the newly named Kate basher, “Maybe the old lady should actually be KILLED…what do you think?” (The tweet was later deleted.) One of Kate supporters begged everyone on Twitter to leave her alone and said: “kate is scared and would like you to stop harassing her. how about you do that? walk away?” But that logic did not resonate and drew this response from one of the many people suddenly in the battle: “Tell Kate to call the police & complain that she sent ppl to kill me but I’m refusing to die.”The person named as Kate’s ‘stalker’ allegedly sent 74,000 anti-Kate tweets.On Sunday, Bullyville announced that it was taking action against the Kate haters who it believed had crossed the line, with this tweet: “We’re launching #opkatehate effective tomorrow. These bullies have collectively pissed off the hive, it’s too late to #expectus.” The site followed with “we now know where all of @kateplusmy8 bullies work. Employers sure don’t seem to like negative media attention.”

As the war rages, Kate has remained silent about it Monday, but she’s practically the only one. The anti-Kate camp is furious about Bullyville’s actions, and Bullyville is committed to exposing people who hide behind anonymity to cross the line into bullying, from their point of view. Who’s right? Tell us what you think!
