Jon Gosselin alleged that his ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, stole $100,000 from their kids, but the reality star claims she “borrowed” the money.
In court documents obtained by The Sun, the “Kate Plus 8” star admitted to making two separate withdrawals of $50,000 from her children’s trust funds, but she said it was “to survive.”
In the 2019 court filing, Kate claimed the funds she took from her children Hannah and Collin were to “meet her and the children’s expenses,” but the outlet reported that she purchased a lake home in North Carolina that year.

“Parents are not supposed to withdraw any money from these accounts without permission and without drawing up paperwork that they will pay it back — but she has produced no paperwork and no payments have been made,” he continued.
“You can’t just live off your kids’ money,” Jon added.

In the court documents, Kate alleged that her eight children owe her money because she paid their private school tuition out of pocket.
“So, I mean I’m not looking to collect that, but I borrowed $100,000 from the kids’ trust,” she claimed in the filing. “And it owes me $387,000 technically.”
