It seems as if it is now Jon and Kate Plus Eight…and everyone that knows them. The first person to get involved (that I remember at least) with the tabloids as far as Jon and Kate’s relationship was Jason Hummel, the brother of Jon’s “friend,” Deanna Hummel. Jon and Deanna were seen out late one night and that sparked controversy that Jon was cheating. Well, that along with the pics taken of him and co-eds from Juniata College partying at a bar in February.
Jason claims that his sister and Jon are having an affair and it seems he can’t quit talking about it, or at least selling his story to the tabloids. He told US Weekly that Deanna was not a home wrecker, but the she and Jon did lock themselves away like teenagers.
Deanna told PEOPLE that her brother was making up lies about her and he had no credibility. Mind you, this is a brother that she currently shares a home with, although she said she is planning to buy the home they live in and ask him to move out. She claims he is on probation for drug distribution.
However, Jason is still peddling his story. He told E! that he thinks the couple, who claim they are platonic friends, will continue to see each other. As if Jason’s statements aren’t enough, now her brother John is saying Jason is telling the truth about the affair. John also said Kate was “crazy” and that he would probably “cheat on her too.”
Now Kate’s brother Kevin Kreider has said that he and his wife Jodi weren’t going to watch the premiere of the show tonight. He also said that Jon told them months ago the marriage was over and that they believe the only reason the couple is still together is for the show (and no doubt the perks that go with it!).
I have the feeling more family and friends are going to come out of the woodwork before this whole ordeal is over.
