Rumors of infidelity have produced mixed results for Jon and Kate, the stars of theTLC Network´s reality TV series Jon and Kate Plus 8
Jon Gosselin is rumored to be cheating on Kate with 23-year-old schoolteacher, Deanna Hummel.
Kate Gosselin is rumored to be cheating on Jon with Steven Nield, the family's bodyguard.
These dual allegations of infidelity have made Jon and Kate the objects of intense interest for the past several weeks, with mixed results.
The Power of Infidelity
"We are witnessing firsthand, the power of infidelity," says New York infidelity expert Ruth Houston, founder of www.InfidelityAdvice.com and the author of"Is He Cheating on You?– 829 Telltale Signs. Infidelity, or rumors of infidelity are guaranteed to pique the public interest. But this heightened publicity for Jon and Kate has turned into a double-edged sword.´
Houston points out, "On the plus side, the Gosselins´ reality TV show Jon and Kate Plus 8 has reaped a ratings bonanza. People who previously had no interest in the show, tuned in to watch the season´s premiere, just to satisfy their curiosity about the rumors of infidelity on both their parts. The season´s premiere had a record number of viewers - 9.8 million -- the highest number of viewers in the history of the TLC Network.
But the down side, is that all this publicity has caused Jon and Kate to come under public scrutiny for alleged exploitation of their children, pet abuse, and alcoholism on the part of Kate."
Infidelity as a Spectator Sport
Houston, who is frequently called on by the media to comment on celebrity infidelity, high profile infidelity court cases, and infidelity breaking news, says "Infidelity has become the new spectator sport. When someone in the public eye is cheating, or accused of cheating, the public wants to know every detail. People have voracious appetite for anything related to infidelity, cheating spouses, and extramarital affairs – especially if celebrities, sports figures, or politicians are involved."
Infidelity Can Help Keep Jon and Kate in the Public Eye
Houston observes, "Jon and Kate owe their new-found fame to the rumors of infidelity surrounding their marriage. The media circus surrounding Jon & Kate Plus 8 is a perfect example of how infidelity can keep even pseudo-celebrities in the public eye for weeks on end. To keep Jon and Kate in the public eye, and help keep Jon & Kate Plus 8 from slipping, the TLC Network should capitalize on the infidelity rumors and use them in a positive way."
Houston suggests this strategy, "Since there is so much speculation about whether or not the Gosselins´ marriage will survive, TLC should take advantage of this and bring in a marriage and family counselor to work with Jon and Kate – if they can get both parties to cooperate. After all, Jon and Kate Plus 8 is a reality TV show. Let the viewers see the reality of how counseling can help a couple solve their marital problems and get their troubled marriage back on track. Handled properly, there are valuable lessons that can be learned on Jon & Kate Plus 8, . and viewers will eagerly tune in to see how the whole drama plays out."
Is It Already Too Late for Jon and Kate?
Can the Gosselin´s marriage be saved? Houston observes, "Judging from the reports that Jon and Kate spent their 10th anniversary apart, TLC needs to act quickly if they plan to help this couple save their troubled marriage. Otherwise, it may be too late for Jon and Kate."
Go or Stay? Should You Give a Cheater a Second Chance?
Have Jon and Kate cheated on each other? Should a couple stay together for the sake of the children if one spouse has had an extramarital affair? Or should they get a divorce and go their separate ways? Much depends on the circumstances of the infidelity, and the attitude of the spouse who had the affair.
