Jon Gosselin spoke to People magazine to set the record straight. After recieving heat for leaving a bar in the wee hours of the morning with another woman, while his wife is reportedly canoodling with the family bodyguard, Jon and Kate Plus Eight has become an overnight sensation.

Things got worse for the struggling couple when they found their show is being investigated for violating child labor laws.

Jon was actually pretty tight-lipped to People magazine, except for when they asked whether or not his children were being exploited.

"'Exploited?,' asks Jon. 'I don't even want to use that word, because I think it's ridiculous,' he says heatedly. Jon insists his children's happiness will remain his focus – even if keeping them happy means quitting the show."

Kate's brother Kevin Krieder and his wife, Jodi, have come forward claiming that the Gosselin's marriage is essentially a sham and that the marriage between the parents of eight ended six months ago. Apparently they have a contract in place that requires them to stay married for the sake of the show but also allows the couple to have an open marriage provided discretion is used.
