Kate Gosselin: I "Melted Down" This Weekend

Us Magazine - September 14, 2009 8:20 AM PDT

Hot topic: Kate Gosselin on The View.

On Monday, she began her first of two guest hosting gigs on the ABC show - and she didn't hold back.

Sherri Shepherd asked Gosselin what it was to see her estranged husband Jon bringing his new girlfriend, 22-year-old Hailey Glassman, around their eight kids.

"This is all difficult - I'm not going to lie," she replied.

But she wouldn't answer the question. "For the sake of my children," she told the ladies, she is going to "take the high road."

She defended Serena Williams, who was fined $10,000 for her profane outburst at a line judge aft she lost the semifinals of the US Open on Saturday.

"I think the important thing here is that she's in the public eye," Gosselin, 34, said. "We're all human."

Gosselin even admitted, "In the privacy of my own home, this weekend, I melted down."

So why does she keep on filming her TLC show?

"So many people say, 'Stop ... just pull out,'" Gosselin said. "I can stop, but I'd still have all the flack and the paychecks, I have to support my children.

"I’m a single mom, and now more than ever I need to be out there working hard to support my children," she added. "It comes with a price; every job that people do comes with a price."

She later said, "My focus is supporting my family and children and whatever way that comes, in a healthy way, I’m gonna do it.

"I'm essentially doing it by myself, and I’m going be responsible," she said.

When Whoopi Goldberg asked if she's paid enough, Kate replied, "Um... is anybody paid enough?"

    Hailey better be nicer and smarter than she looks. She is soooooo homely. Grow up Jon and take on the responsibilties of those beautiful eight children. They act more grown up than you do!! Kate may be mean at times but, I believe she has more going for her than Hailey ever will.

    Kate go away far far away, oh wait you cant who would pay the bills, no husband, no talent, no friends. TLC needs to look at what kind of crap they spew, please dont support their sponsor. The children will look back one day, and realize they were used for their parents gain, and unbridaled greed. Just go away

    She's not considered a celebrity. What everyone needs to realize is that there is two sides to every story. Sure he was put down, but he shouldn't have let it get to the point that it is. Kate IS showing grace right now and I think people should realize that. She's not going on television and bashing Jon. So I think everyone should lay off. It's a tough situation, f
