Jon and Kate Gosselin sure are getting a lot of attention, huh? Here’s the latest Gosselin gossip – reports are now coming out that Kate Gosselin is cheating on Jon, having an affair with the family bodyguard, Steve Neild.

Kate Gosselin shoots down the gossip, saying, “The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about our security person and his family. Already the allegations they’re making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified.”

Meanwhile, all the negative Gosselin press is slowing down the TLC production machine on their reality series Jon and Kate Plus 8, set to premiere May 25.

Kate Gosselin is also seeing her inner circle of friends shrinking due to the allegations about Jon cheating and the paparazzi intruding on them, saying:

“I’m totally panicking, and thinking, ‘We are going to lose our last set of friends.’ I keep calling them, begging, ‘Seriously, I’m so sorry. Don’t run away from us.’ They keep saying, ‘We’re fine, we’re fine.’ But they have paparazzi in front of their house. It’s so upsetting.”

Gosselin admits that they “opened our world to this” with their reality series, “but we willingly made a conscious decision to put this out there. Our friends and family did not. I had no idea we would potentially take down the people that we love around us.”

Gosselin added, “It’s very very difficult. It leaves us, essentially, alone and friendless. It’s terrible.”
