LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Hailey Glassman and Michael Lohan are expected to be subpoenaed by TLC in a lawsuit the network has filed against Jon Gosselin, People reported.

Maryland's Circuit Court of Montgomery County granted motions for TLC's lawyers to depose Hailey, Michael, Jon's lawyer Mark Heller, his manager Michael Heller, bodyguard Thomas Meinelt and talent agent Matthew Kirschner, according to court documents obtained by the mag -- making Heller unable to represent Jon in court.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, TLC announced it was filing suit against Jon last month over breach of contract.

The lawsuit, filed in Maryland, alleges that Gosselin hasn't met the obligations of his contract as an exclusive employee, has appeared on other programs for pay and made unauthorized disclosures about the show.

In a statement to Access Hollywood, Gosselin's lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, previously responded to the allegations, calling the suit a "baseless action."

Heller further called Jon's contract with the network "against Public Policy" and "grossly overreaching and restrictive."

Gosselin has starred for two years in "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which has been consumed in recent months by marital turmoil as Gosselin and his wife, Kate, feuded, then filed for divorce. The couple are the parents of young twins and sextuplets.

Recently, TLC announced the show would be renamed "Kate Plus Eight," with a reduced presence by Jon Gosselin. A TLC spokeswoman, Laurie Goldberg, has said the show's longtime future remains in question.

    You can describe Kate Gosselin with one word -- irritable, irrational, manipulative, hedonistic, short attention span, hostile, demanding, and grandiose -- or you can describe her with many -- bipolar. She excels at exploiting others for fun and profit, yet has difficulty getting a five-year-old to do what she wants without hitting her.

    I hope he realizes it was worth whatever the cost to pull the plug on monster Kate. She crossed the line between "doing it all for the kids" and exploiting those kids for her own gain. Money eventually corrupted her and turned her into Ms. Glamorous. Stay strong, Jon.

    I bet somewhere in that moron head of hers Hailey realizes that being with this dope was a really bad decision. I almost feel sorry for her. She's being dragged through the mud and yet Jon somehow manages to convince her that it's not his fault. Wake up girl and move on with your 22 yr. old life.

    he gets PAID, she does it for FREE (well she gets sympathy anyway) that is why HE is getting sued and not her. They both need to disappear.
