Reality show mom Kate Gosselin has come under fire for spanking one of her eight children. According to an In Touch story that hit shelves today, the child was blowing a whistle after having been told to stop, and so she was disciplined by her mother. The child does not appear to be abused and no legal action has been taken.
“Whether the paparazzi are there or not, I am a mother first. I love my children and when they misbehave, I discipline them as I deem appropriate for the situation,” a representative for Gosselin told Life&Style magazine earlier today.
The Gosselin family has been all over the headlines in recent months for rumors of infidelity, divorce, and exploiting their children through their TLC reality show, Jon and Kate Plus Eight. Even photos of the couple on separate vacations have made the cover of many gossip magazines. Despite the reports of marital problems, the show has started its fifth season and is in heavy rotation on the TLC summer schedule.
