Jon Gosselin the troubled former star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 is reportedly suing cable network TLC for $5 million, alleging that the station has damaged his reputation and prevented him for working.
Gosselin has been in a very public fight with his wife, Kate Gosselin. The two were one-time stars of the Jon & Kate Plus 8 television show, built around the ups-and-downs of raising eight young children. The two became smash reality show hits, before their marriage crumbled, amid allegations of infidelity.
Jon Gosselin has been tabloid fodder since the breakup, and he and his new girlfriend have become magazine celebrities.
In his suit, Gosselin alleges that the network convinced other media outlets from doing business with him, and therefore hurting his ability to find work. Gosselin in the suit also alleges that he is too famous to work because of the enormous media attention focused on him.
