This story was picked-up by various outlets stating that Kate Gosselin was “one of the most unpleasant I’ve seen in working here for many years” and ''she was swearing like a drunken sailor as she stormed out.” Kate Gosselin is keeping a brave face and trying to hold the lucrative TLC TV show together despite the fact that her estranged husband Jon is seeing her plastic surgeon's daughter and some other women, while living in New York City.The Today Show has released a statement to "Extra" regarding these accusations. It reads:“These comments are completely and totally false and are certainly coming from bad sources. Kate Gosselin was a gracious guest on TODAY and anyone within a thousand feet of her at the show yesterday morning could tell you that. It is unfortunate that a newspaper would run these lies, which couldn't be further from the truth.”
