WERNERSVILLE, Penn. -- Jon Gosselin has emptied his joint bank account with estranged wife Kate, a TLC rep confirmed to Access Hollywood.

Radar Online was first to report the news.

Jon allegedly removed $200,000 from the former couple's joint bank account - leaving a mere $1,000, the rep confirmed. A judge had previously warned the former couple that neither could remove significant amounts from the account without the other's approval.

Kate responded with legal action against Jon, having a lawyer send a letter to him demanding the return of the funds, with papers to be filed in a Pennsylvania court on Monday.

The news comes just days after Jon appeared on "Larry King Live," where he talked about wanting to repair his relationship with Kate.

"I want Kate and I to mediate. I want us to become friends," he said at the time - after he attempted to bring production on the former couple's TLC show, "Jon and Kate Plus Eight," to a halt following the announcement of its name-change to "Kate Plus Eight."

Despite his public entreaties to Kate, Jon wasn't rushing back to the family home in Wernersville, Penn., this weekend.

After his "Larry King Live" appearance, he was photographed at a Los Angeles Dodgers game on Friday.

On Saturday, he was spotted signing autographs at West Hollywood's Millions of Milkshakes, where the reality dad debuted his own signature drink.

    It's simple: If a man has 9 people he's responsible to support/college ahead for 8...does he buy his first girlfreind a 75,000 car unless he's sure he has someone laying golden eggs for him to spend. Kate nuts up over a coupon because she's responsible. Jon's a child idiot. Hollywoods Million of Shakes with Jon's name on it needs to be Salt Peter.

    What does Jon do to support his family other then this TV series which he had been a major part in? If not for this income, he could never support them, set up college funds for them nor drive the car he has... all from proceeds and gifts of this show. We only know what we see on the TV but not one of us actually knows what goes on during shooting etc. Never heard complaints from the crew..

    I think TLC has too much influence over this family. They do not want to lose the revenue from the show. I think they found out that Jon was going to pull the plug on the show, then they changed the name so it would look like Jon was pulling the plug because he was off the show. TLC has a lot of money and power and this show has generated a lot of revenue they do not want to lose.

    Nobody knows for sure if Jon did take the $230,00, or the lesser amount. I think Kate and TLC have a vested interest in making Jon look really bad because they want the show to continue, and he does not. What I do know is Kate can NOT stay away from the media. The show can not go on, so she needs to run to the media and try to get the sympathy vote- she and TLC are hoping to make Jon look bad.
