Kate Gosselin speaks on Today in these video clips, but her attitude behind the scenes may be even more telling. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that a Today show staffer leaked that Kate Gosselin was rather unpleasant following her interview.

Video of Kate Gosselin speaking on Today put the mom of eight in a favorable light, as she dished tearfully about her soon to be ex-husband and how the children are handling the divorce.

The Today show staffer reports that Kate Gosselin was ”a total bitch,” noting, ”We get virtually all of the world’s biggest egos coming through here, but Kate was one of the most unpleasant I’ve seen in working here for many years.”

A Today spokeswoman commented Monday night that Kate Gosselin “is always welcome at Today, and it is unfortunate that anyone would make these accusations, which couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Gosselin speaks with Meredith Vieira on Today, but later Gosselin trashed Vieira, with a second source saying, ”Meredith very clearly, and in a straightforward way, asked exactly the questions you’d expect. She asked about the alleged affair with her bodyguard — which really seemed to p— [Kate] off — her relationship with Jon [Gosselin], how her kids were doing and whether ‘if you could do it over again, would you?’ ”

They added that Gosselin “was swearing like a drunken sailor as she stormed out.”
