Kate Gosselin, whose adventures raising twins and sextuplets are chronicled on the hit TLC reality show "Jon & Kate Plus Eight," is fighting back at reports that she has been having a more-than-platonic relationship with Steve Neild, a bodyguard who frequently travels with her and her family.

Two weeks after stories linked her husband, Jon Gosselin, with a 23-year-old school teacher, Kate says she is now the target of tabloid lies. "The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about our security person and his family," Kate tells PEOPLE exclusively. "Already the allegations they're making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified."

"These are people who absolutely love us and want to see us through to the end," Kate says of Neild and his family. "Of course, both of them travel with us at times, and we've spent holidays together, because, in this situation, your circle grows smaller and smaller, and it's very natural to become friends with your manager, your publicist, your security team ... they're the only people you have left. And now they're coming under fire."

With few close companions, and her marriage to Jon hitting a rough patch, Kate says she is terrified that this latest round of stories will drive away the friends she and her family have left. "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."

Most troubling to her is the realization "we opened our world to this," she says, adding, "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."

The mother of eight also clears the air about the other tabloid reports -- including her feelings about her husband's bar-hopping and her plans for her family's future -- in the upcoming issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

    People should just leave them alone and let them work it out on their own. It's their personal life and no one elses.

    Jon and Kate need to turn to God and pray that He will see them through this and He will. It is a shame that our world loves this type of harassment of peoples' lives. Stay strong Gosselin family and I will continue to pray for you.
