At least 80 people are joining a Kate Gosselin anti-bullying lawsuit, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.

James McGibney of Bullyville.com, an anti-bullying web site, conceived the idea for the class-action suit just days ago and it has triggered the fiercest battle between pro- and anti-Kate forces since her divorce from Jon played out on national TV.

Barely more than one week since the planned lawsuit was announced, more than 80 people have expressed strong interest in joining, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
