Nancy Grace isn't the only one with a problem with Jon Gosselin.

In an episode of The Insider to air Tuesday night, Real Housewives of New York City's Bethenny Frankel goes off on fellow reality star Gosselin, 32.

"Everyone's mad at you right now," sneers Frankel, 38.

She goes on, "America has a big problem with the fact that [your kids] are growing up on a television show. You never know what the effects will be 20 years from now."

Frankel doesn't think Kate is any better.

"I'm as mad at her as at you," she says.

See Jon's scandalous relationship past

Frankel has a few words of advice for the dad of eight.

"I think you're defeated. You need to pull yourself up from your bootstraps and get back to your kids and get your crap together and get those kids off TV," she says. "You need to pull it together."

Gosselin -- who halted production on the TLC show -- replies, "That's what I am trying to do."

Look back at Jon and Kate's happier days

Gosselin also goes on to defend his behavior since splitting from Kate in July after 10 years of marriage.

"I went from 32 to 23," he says. "My therapist has told me that. My therapist told me I went from 32 to 23."

Asserts Frankel: "It looks like you went through a rebellious phase."

"Of course," Jon says.

    Everyone seems to be bashing Jon, but Kate is just as equally at fault, it takes two.! And in my opinion, I believe she may be acting one way, while the cameras are rolling and acting another way when they are not. Since this whole downward spiral started, neither of them has mentioned GOD, unlike in the beginning of the series. I think they both need to get some professional counseling!~

    So much for his claim of all of his bad behavior not being related to a "change of life!" Looks like that's exactly what is going on in my opinion having witnessed my father and my own husband go through it.

    Oh, he went further back than 23, more like 16 or so. He didn't take responsibility for anything. He must have dementia or something of that sort. That is how he is acting. He certainly is not acting responsibly. If he doesn't like that many kids, well, oops! too late. He should not have fathered them. He needs to get his nose to the grindstone and make a decent living for

    Jon you need to give up the playboy life and beg Kate's forgiveness! Your fame is almost over. People are getting bored with you and soon will with the kids. Deadbeat.

    Jon, not only are you publicly disgracing Kate and the kids, you are disgracing YOU as well. The reason Kate had her tummy tuck was because you were replused by her stretched out body after giving YOU 8 kids! She has tried to keep herself looking good and you don't appreciate it. If she had let herself go, was frumpy, over weight you would be publicly complaining. YOU need a swift kick!

    Jon, you accused Kate of cheating yet there is nothing out there proving your accusations. She is home with her kids doing everything she can so the kids can have a *normal* routine.You knew going into the situation with TLC your family would enjoy a better life than you could provide. WHY would you screw it up? YOU could never had provided that well for you family with that IT job you were fired
