New Kate Plus Eight Will Not Cover School Expulsion

Ordinarily we try to stay away from gossip here at TV Blend, but when said gossip affects your favorite reality television programs, well, that turns it into a little more of a news story. At least that’s what I think; so, here’s your latest Kate Plus Eight shenanigans. Earlier this week, rumors started surfacing that two of the Gosselin kids were expelled from the private school that all eight of the children attend. Just why they were expelled still remains unclear. Some publications have cited bullying and anti-social behavior as reasons for the big ugly axe, but a few sources close to the situation are now saying those reports are a little overstated. Where the truth lies is anyone’s guess, but speculation has gotten so out of control, TLC has been forced to issue a statement on the grammar school situation.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has announced the new Halloween-themed Kate Plus Eight special will not address the expulsion. This is bad news for people who love drama and great news for people who love extended scenes of children trick or treating. Word on the street is all eight of the children were allowed to choose their own costumes. They range from Cleopatra to a SWAT team member. Isn’t Halloween great?

The still untitled special has already finished shooting and will air on November 28th on TLC.
