Jon Gosselin violated an “unambiguous” court order not to comment on his recent legal battle with ex wife Kate to keep their children off TV, Mark Momjian, Kate’s lawyer, told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively. Breaking Celebrity News has also learned exclusive details about the secret court appearance that took place October 13.
Jon Tweeted on Friday that he had been back to court to try to keep his kids off TV, saying they were suffering emotional and behavioral issues from their lack of privacy. He revealed that he lost his secret battle.
Momjian told Breaking Celebrity News that Jon should have kept his big Twitter shut.
“The court has previously entered an order restricting the parties from commenting on the underlying custody proceedings,” Momjian said, without talking about the specifics of the case.
Breaking Celebrity News learned that the October 13 court case was a six-hour hearing. One source said Jon’s arguments were ridiculous and the judge certainly wasn’t impressed – giving Kate the right to make the decision about the kids appearing on TV.
While that verdict is in, Kate’s lawyer promised that Jon revealing the private court battle against the judge’s orders is an issue that will continue.
Through her lawyer Kate “is going to consult about the latest Tweet and respond vigorously to it, through the court,” Momjian added.
“We think this is in violation of a court order preventing any parties from discussing these matters.
“We will respond to it through the court, as that is the appropriate forum to deal with these issues.
“The court was very clear in its orders to maintain privacy for this couple and their children and the issues they are dealing with.
“Because of that prior admonition, I am not going to respond substantively to anything in his Tweet, because it is not in accord with the clear directive of the judge who is presiding over this case.
“Ms. Gosselin has obliged the court directive to keep it confidential and now we will have to work with the court to address the claims.
