Jon Gosselin's Epiphany: The Show Harms The Kids

Jon Gosselin appeared on Larry King Live last night (October 1) to address his reasons for wanting to shut down Kate's new reality show, Kate Plus 8. According to Gosselin, the show is now detrimental to his children and he is legally demanding that his estranged wife, Kate Gosselin, no longer go forward with the TLC hit show.

While stating his case last night, King confronted Gosselin's "concerns for the children" with a clip of Jon defending the network's actions and insisting his kids are in no way harmed by the show.

Jon's response? Apparently the 32-year-old Gosselin patriarch has had a change of heart and an "epiphany.'' For the majority of the interview, Jon spoke of his "concerns" for the children, calling the filming environment "unhealthy."

Gosselin also aired his regrets to Kate: "I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated. I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon." Jon went on to say, "I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family so Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family - not destroy it."

Does this mean the Ed Hardy-loving-father-of-eight has finally dumped his young girlfriend Hailey Glassman? No! Jon spoke of Hailey numerous times, proclaiming his love for her and stating that she is his rock.

In response to yesterday's claims that Kate Plus 8 must end to help protect the children, Kate publicly stated: "I'm saddened and confused by Jon's public media statements. Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits our children and was taping on Friday with the kids."

What do you think? Is Jon finally doing right by the kids or is stopping production just another ploy?
