I was a big fan of Jon & Kate Plus 8 when the show first started to air. As the seasons kept coming, Kate's nasty side started to show, and not just with Jon's love taps.
I believe Kate let Hollywood get to her head. Have you seen pictures of her before? OMG, what a complete change. If she would have stayed focus on the kids and on her spouse, it wouldn't have come down to this.
The kids are the ones they need to focus on, stop with the show and have them live their own lives.
As for Julie, I never heard her name mentioned on the show, but she was also referring to Jodi, so clearly Perez didn't make a mistake.
