Former ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ daddy Jon Gosselin is being sued by the TLC network for a breach of his contract when he accepted to make several paid and unpaid TV appearances without the network’s permission.

“The network has been trying privately and patiently for months to get Jon to honor the contract he signed and to comply with his obligations relating to public appearances and statements,” reads a statement released by the network. “Those efforts have been unsuccessful.”

The papers filed for the lawsuit reveal that the same day TLC announced the show would be renamed ‘Kate Plus 8’, Jon’s lawyer demanded that they release Jon, who was still getting a full paycheck, from the “exclusivity contract” and threatened that if they didn’t Jon would block the filming of the show on grounds it was “detrimental to his children.”
