Kate Gosselin's Twins Refuse to Speak

Camera shy or purposeful?

I caught the interview this morning, and it was cringeworthy.
At first I thought they might be camera shy, but, looking at the way they weren't looking at their Mom, and the response to their Mom's prompt to speak up, I think it may have been purposeful.

We'll never know.
But, it made for some painful TV this morning.
I felt so sorry for the girls.

My opinion: It's really time for Kate to go away.

"But, it made for some painful TV this morning."

It's because Kate forgot to bring their "treats" so when she told them to sit up and speak, she had nothing to dangle in front of them.

Actually it made for some great TV this morning, though I do really feel sorry for those kids. I wouldn't be surprised if they had told their mom they really didn't want to do this and she said tough, I need this opportunity be on TV again and you're doing it anyway. It's pretty clear they have some issues and I'm sure they are dying to tell their mom what a complete bitch she is and that they're sick and damn tired of having to perform on cue but probably will have to wait another few years to do so.

Yeah, I don't think they were afraid of being on camera. It seemed like they didn't want to talk in front of Kate. She seemed really bitchy to Mady when she wouldn't talk. Most supportive and decent parents wouldn't have spoken the way Kate did there. I could see a parent prompting a shy or nervous kid, but they would be nicer about it.

When I turned on the Today Show and saw them promote that interview, I couldn't help but think, 'Wait. People want to hear them speak?' I figured most people were tuning in just before the Oscar announcements. I switched to CBS This Morning. Don't even remember what story led before the Oscar announcements, but it wasn't an unpleasant, awkward one.

"I could see a parent prompting a shy or nervous kid, but they would be nicer about it."

Yeah, what did she say to one of the kids at one point "it's your chance, spit it out". Ugh. Can you imagine as a 13 year old being told you have to go on nationwide TV to tell the world you're not really damaged like everyone thinks you are?

I read that their father, Jon, called TMZ to complain about how his daughters are being put through such a public spectacle.

Um, if you don't want your daughters to be dragged through the public mud, why the hell do you call TMZ?!

Those poor kids.

Not the mention that the girls are thirteen. I can't think of an age where I'd less rather be with my mom on national TV than thirteen.

Wow! Where to start! In my dreams, I had imagined the kids not behaving so I was thrilled when they totally clammed up- especially Cara! All I could hear was Sing Out Louise! The look on Khate's face when the girls could not even answer the first question-priceless. Then when Khate continued to speak for them and then asked Mady to answer and Mady just said- you already said!

What I hate is that this is the #1 topic of conversation- even bad publicity is great for Khate! This interview also proved what Jon has been saying all along- that the girls do not want to be on tv. It's funny that they lit up when asked if they want another show but I think that's because having the crew around acts as a buffer for Kahte and it's the only thing that makes Khate happy!

Khate has been going on an on about how much the kids want this and then for them to be silent- it's hilarious! She keeps saying that it was stage fright but I did not see that at all. These kids have been in the media most of their lives. The fact remains, they have ZERO talent and have nothing to offer. No typical teen can relate to these girls and I think they were more scared of the rath of Khate.

When my daughter was 13, she would have loved to have been on tv and trained in dance and acting for years to prepare her. The only reason these girls are "infamous" is because their mommy decided to have 6 more kids at one time. There are trained actors who would kill to be on tv. Khate feels like her kids are special but this interview just proved how they are completely not. When I see interviews of Bailee Madison (who just turned 14)- this is an actress who is happy and loves what she is doing and has worked hard for her place in the industry. The Gosselins have done none of this!

Oh- I could go on and on and on! Funny how People Magazine has not picked up this Today Show interview. It's clear that the spread they just did on her was clearly made up! I just do not understand the interest in either Khate or Jon. It's like they are trying to recreate the drama from 2009 but I'm sick of the he said/she said and wish they would all go away. There are plenty of families who are much larger than the Gosselins who have figured it all out and they do Not need to be on television. If they had just invested the money they earned and quit all the drama, they could have lived off that and still could have had an actual job to stay out of the public eye!All they want is the easy way out and I just do not see what anyone would see in them.

Ever since Jon got on Couples Therapy and was let out of his TLC contract, he has been singing like a bird and from what we saw on The Today Show- seems like Jon has been telling the truth. He may be an idiot but he really seems to love his kids!

Here is my favorite assessment of the interview: http://drlillianglassbodylanguageblog.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/body-language-and-silence-of-gosselin-twins-reflect-anger-at-mom-as-kate-is-enraged/

p.s. They are scheduled to be on The View Monday morning and I bet The View is LOVING this! I think they already taped it because Monday is a holiday. Seems like they went right after the interview on Today and I bet we will see something completely different. There are reports that Khate went all crazy on them. This whole story Khate has made up is just laughable!

There are some Khate supporters that said Savannah Guthrie was rude. Excuse me- but her first question was to ask the girls how they are doing. How was that harsh? Guess Savannah didn't follow the script and the girls saw the writing on the wall. At one point, you can see Khate lipping the answer that Mady was about to give.

I don't know any 13 year old that calls her mom mommy! I also thought it was so funny how Khate stepped in to talk for them. There were long pauses of 5 to 7 seconds. Dead air! Savannah is a lawyer and I'm glad she didn't start off with the same ole you look so pretty and who are you dating and do you have boyfriends......

When these girls get back to school, they will either be ridiculed or given the high five for embarrassing their mommy on national tv!

I think the other reason Mady and Cara probably would be okay with doing more tv is probably from the stuff they got to do. I mean, I recall they went to Australia once. Who can do that with 8 kids unless they were rich or it was all paid for?

I also don't think Savannah came off rude or mean to them.

Mady and Cara have done NOTHING to deserve these perks and neither have the Gosselins. That's why people do not like them and then you put Khate's personality in there too- and it's a lose-lose situation! I absolutely LOATHE Khate Gosselin!

Oh, I totally agree. It's ridiculous.

1. Kate is a single parent with EIGHT CHILDREN, 2 sets, Age Gaps 13. Who gives a Fu(k what type of attitude she has.

The twins haven't been on tv since they were NINE. They are reading what is going on in media and im sure if Kate allowed them to have Twitters, FBs, Instagrams etc... We would hear from them like every other 13 YO In the world (speaking their mind about issues in the home) So fu(k what they had to say or "clamming up" on telly. They knew what they were gonna do when their mum told them about the press tour. They created more buzz. Now we will want to know where they are in 5 years.

Kate is not whoring or asking for handout from the gov. She is telling her story about raising 8 bad ass kids lol (I know all of them are not bad but come on ppl)

It's hard for her alone and if you cannot sympathize for her. Im sure she could give zero ****s. She didn't decide on her own to have them. But the woman is an hustler for allowing ppl in her life. She has every right to have the attitude she has with how Jon Bitched out cause the fame got to his head. Cheers BOO

Oh PAHLEEZE! Khate is a divorced mom- not a single mom! The dad is still very much in the picture! The twins were on Kate + 8 and they were on Celebrity Wife Swap last year- when they were older than 9! They were also on Katie Couric's show so they HAVE been on TV since they were 9! Also, she has gone through tons of nannies and helpers so she has never done it alone! When she says she doesn't have full time help- it's because she has part time help. The kids are away all day at school and Jon has shared custody!

Yes, this definitely created more buzz but not in a good way! Of course, Khate doesn't care about that at all. She loves the attention!

Khate got a lot of help from the state of Pennsylvania and even asked for an extension for a nurse. It's all on record. She thinks society owes her! Khate is constantly asking for handouts from big companies.

Yes, she has bad ass kids- two of them were expelled from elementary school!

If anyone was doing the bitching- it was Khate. You must not have watched the show because she constantly belittled Jon and he was constantly doing the work around the house, giving kids a bath, allowing her to sleep in....

These kids are isolated and alientated from their family! I do not support Khate in any way, shape, or form.

I could go on and on and even Khate said that 90% of America doesn't like her! She's right about that!

I grew up on military bases and saw plenty of large families whose dad's were far away for months or even a year at a time and those moms did not have nannies, housekeepers, or personal chefs. People didn't need to be on television to pay their bills and there are plenty of families with dual incomes that don't even come close to the kind of bank Khate has made. Khate has failed at every job she has had because she has no talent and she cannot relate to people!

I personally believe Khate is mentally ill. Jon is also not the sharpest tool in the shed. What he did after the divorce was ridiculous. Still, their marriage was over long before their divorce. Khate made Jon pretend everything was okay for the sake of the show. Their wedding vows were completely laughable. I had seen kids at Bar Mitzvahs dance closer together than Jon and Khate did at their renewal.

So, no- I feel NO sympathy for Khate. Teachers handle 20-40 kids a day in a classroom with barely any help. Khate complains about everything and wants people to feel sympathy for her. Well, I don't. Although I appreciate others' opinions, notice how I am only stating what I believe and not addressing anyone personally. I'm just stating the facts. :)

Ha! Did I go too far NYadgal? Sorry. There was another family of mulitples on TLC called the Hayes family. The mom was a stay at home mom and the dad was a policeman, I believe. They had 10 children- that included several multiples and one of the kids was disabled. Their show didn't last because there was no drama. It was a very loving family and they showed how to live on a modest income. They didn't move into a mansion,the kids did not go to private school, and the mom did not go to NY to get her hair done all the time or go to tanning salons. I bet they would have loved to have made $250,000 from DWTS without really putting in the work and demanding the show to put a dance floor in her basement (that was removed when she got eliminated from the show).

From Khate: “society has a responsibility to help with the children, since modern medicine promotes the use of fertility drugs, which can lead to multiple births”.

And yes,I do have too much time on my hand but I also like to have the facts. :)

I've never understood why anyone who intensely dislikes a person or show as much as you seem to intensely dislike Kate, would read/watch anything having to do with said person/show. Especially when it seems to really get your blood boiling.
I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2.

Your guess is as good as mine?! lol I suppose it's because I don't want her to get away with it and I hate the way the public is being manipulated. I only posted because here because someone asked me :) Luckily, I have many more interests in my life. For instance, I just saw a clip of Meryl Streep on Ellen that will air Monday and it's fantastic!

I think I read in the Star that all of Feryl's kids are total brats and that she totally pushed them all into acting and singing and dancing. Especially the Gummie one.
