Jon & Kate had their day in court.
I was going to say “Jon & Kate plus litigate.”
But I’m trying to cut back on my rhyming puns.
So, the estranged reality couple went before a PA judge this week.
All I can say is WTF?
Something is very odd.
Kate says Jon took $230K.
He says he didn’t and can prove it.
The judge rules Jon has to return $180K.
Why not the full $230K?
Is this a different sum of money?
According to TMZ, Jon was ordered to return the funds because they were in violation of an arbitrator’s order.
He was reported to have removed $230,000 initially from their account, despite a ban from such instances due to the couple’s ongoing nasty divorce.
Kate spoke out following the ruling, saying: “As difficult as this has been for me, I am pleased that the Court has ruled fairly on behalf of myself and my children. Now that this matter has been ruled on, I look forward to returning to private arbitration, as we have agreed to do, to resolve any remaining issues.”
Holy obvious.
Kate, if it took a judge to tell you that you and Jon should’ve been handling your split privately, you have have more problems than I thought.
Which is really saying something.
The story states she took $55K to pay for bills for her and the kids but doesn’t have to return it… as of yet.
But I remember reading she had taken that money out BEFORE he touched the account and she had already returned it.
There is something WAY wrong here.
If there is ban on taking money out of the account for the BOTH of them, shouldn’t ALL the money be returned?
Was the money SHE took actually used to help pay bills and why didn’t they do this in private to begin with?
I’ll say it again — WTF?
Jon must replace the missing money by their next court hearing, which is scheduled for Oct. 26.
If the money is not replaced, he’ll have to appear before a judge for a contempt proceeding, TMZ reported.
There is a lot more going on to this than they are telling the public.
Which is how it should be — it’s nobody’s business.
They are BOTH horribly guilty of using the media to sway opinion.
Thing is, Kate’s playing the game better.
