Kate Gosselin's kids are "angry" and "acting out," she says, now that their TLC show has been iced by the network. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the reality mom recounts what happened when she told her brood that 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' (renamed 'Kate Plus 8') was shutting down.
"Actually, times eight, there was wailing and sobbing," she says. "They love our crew, they love the interaction, they love the events. There is nothing harmful about it. They are angry."
The divorce of their parents, and the media storm clouds constantly hovering above, have resulted in noticeable changes in the children's behavior, Kate admits.
"I'm trying to give them the grace to see, if they're acting out of line, I'm trying to look deeper into why that is," she says. "Why the kids are acting out. Cause it's all inter-related. I mean, they don't see it, but it's all interconnected."
The absence of dad Jon Gosselin, who moved out and now lives in New York City, has played an obvious role. "They miss him," she says. "They say they miss him. I imagine they say the same thing when I'm away ... "
Kate also lashes out at the paparazzi, saying the kids have become so used to their presence, that she has to instruct them how to act.
"I always tell [the children], 'Turn your back and don't look at them, don't speak to them,'" says Kate. "I don't even let them use the word. I mean, no five-year-old should be using the word 'paparazzi.'"
"The ones claiming we are exploiting our children," Kate says, "are the ones exploiting our children!"
