Kate Gosselin 'Worried About Her Kids' Protection And How She Will Make A Living[VIDEO] Feels 'Empathy' For Jon Gosselin But Firing Gun At Photographer Needs To Be 'Taken Care Of'

Kate Gosselin is worried about her kids, and she should be. After Jon Gosselin tragically fired a gun at a female photographer who was trying to snap a picture of him, Kate is growing more concerned about the sanity of her ex husband and fears the kids could be in real danger.

Kate is also worried about her kids and how she will  support all 8 of them after her cookbook, Kate: Love Is In The Mix, is failing miserably in sales and no other income is coming into the Gosselin house. Well Kate, here's an idea...get a real job!

Though the photog was following Jon on his property when she shouldn't have, Kate Gosselin is obviously worried about protecting her kids from Jon and his dangerous behavior that could possibly take a turn to violence with the kids around.

Kate said on 'Bethenny' that she feels 'empathy' and 'pity' for Jon Gosselin but the compassion she feels toward him is not as strong as the need to shield her eight kids from Jon and his temper with weapons in the house. When TMZ asked Kate Gosselin about the wellfare of her kids, she replied that she is indeed concerned and 'It is getting taken care of."

Kate's should be worried about supporting her kids. Her cookbook failed because she is a reality show star, not a chef. The cookbook is currently on pre-order and has been available for several weeks. However, the book is still only listed as #16,359 on Amazon's most popular books list. This is a bad sign for Gosselin. And the low sales are in despite of Kate tweeting regularly about about it to her almost 17k followers.

 Kate Gosselin is looking for another reality show to support her kids but she's had little luck so far. Maybe it's time to get a real job Kate! Kate has a degree in nursing and it may be time to give up on the Hollywood dream and do what's right for her eight children. Any hospitals taking application for the 'Kate Plus 8' star?

But Kate should be more worried about the safetly of her kids then scoring a reality show deal. It seems her ex Jon is falling apart and Kate is growing needs to be more worried about the safety of her kids. 

Here's what happened with Jon and the photog: Kate Gosselin's ex husband Jon Gosselin, co star of 'Jon and Kate Plus 8,' pulled a gun on a female photographer yesterday and then fired a warning shot to get the photog off of his porperty. Gosselin, who was the star of a TLC the reality 'Jon and Kate Plus 8' pulled the gun out when the female photographer chased him down to his Pennsylvania cottage on Friday and trespassed on his land. Did Jon go too far and is he losing is mind living in the boondocks of Pa.?

Jon Gosselin, who now lives as a waiter in Beckersville, Pa., approached the photographer with a gun and fired a warning shot to scare the woman who was trying to get a picture of the ex reality star. Gosselin followed her all the way back to the main road to make sure she was no longer trespassing on his territory, firing a shot in the air.

The photog made a police report that Jon fired a shot in the air, but she declined to request that police take action. She was the one who was actually in the wrong trespassing on his land, so of course she took no further action as she could be in legal trouble as well if she took any further steps in getting Jon in trouble.

Since Jon split up with Kate he's been living a secluded life in the outskirts of Pennsylvania, living as a waiter at a restaurant.

He told "Entertainment Tonight" about living the simpler life:

"At first I was nervous because I was like, 'How are people going to react?'" Gosselin said. "But then I'm thinking 'Well it's fun and I get to talk to people.' And they technically already know me ... they're like 'Are you the guy?' I'm like 'Yeah, I'm the guy.'"

"You learn from your mistakes," he said. "That's what builds you to who you are today."

"I've hit rock bottom about 20 times, and then I bounce back again," he told ET.

Jon also admitted that he doesn't "have a relationship with Kate," and that they primarily communicate through text and email saying 'I don't physically see her."

 Radar Online and numerous other gossip websites reported that Jon Gosselin's child support payments to his ex-wife Kate are in arrears for the amount of $3,557.06. 

But at least Jon has a job. Kate has a degree in nursing and it may be time to give up on the Hollywood dream and do what's right for her eight children.
