Kate Gosselin To Jon: “Where’s My $250K?!!!!”

Fighting back tears, Kate Gosselin said on TODAY Monday that she is broke and can’t pay her bills after her estranged husband Jon cleaned out their joint bank account. But later the same day, Jon Gosselin fired back, telling TV show “The Insider” that Kate’s account was “a total fabrication” and accusing her of “hiding money.”

“[Jon] took $230,000 of the $231,000 we had,” Kate told Meredith Vieira on TODAY in New York Monday morning. “I have a stack of bills. The last thing I wanted was to do this show and end up not being able to pay our bills.” However, she also said that Jon Gosselin did not touch their eight children’s money, which Kate said remains safe in protected funds she established.

Where’s the money?
According to Kate, Jon Gosselin virtually cleaned out the account that Kate said contains all their liquid assets last week after TLC announced that it would continue filming the Gosselin family, but was changing the name of their show from “Jon & Kate Plus 8” to “Kate Plus Eight.”

Kate told Vieira that under the Gosselins’ agreement with TLC, the network will stop filming if either she or Jon make such a request. “It has ended our income and our paychecks and our opportunities,” Kate told Vieira. “I wish Jon would think more about it.”

But Jon told “The Insider” a different story later the same day, according to People.com. “I withdrew $22,000 last Thursday,” he said, adding that he had “the paper trail to prove it.”

In total, Jon said he had withdrawn “roughly $177,000 over the course of a year.” He also said that the joint account in question is only one of 11 the couple have, and said that Kate “had a best-selling book. Where’s that million dollars?”

Kate did allude to more than one bank account during her TODAY appearance. “Financially, the kids are protected; they have the fund that I set up for them,” she said. “That was my long-term goal. It is secure and substantial … and it is safe. I had the presence of mind to start that on my own. That’s what I want for them, [for] their future to be secure.”

Vieira asked Kate how she’s holding up under the latest assault on what once appeared to be the perfect family life.

“I’m hanging in there. It’s hard. Every morning I don’t know what I’m going to wake up to,” Kate replied.

“He has gone way far off the trail … Obviously, I am very upset. I can’t sleep at night. I can’t pay my bills. I think he’s receiving bad advice. I think he’s making bad decisions.”
