Reports: Kate Gosselin ‘impossible,’ wants Dancing with the Stars partner canned
Imagine this, Kate Gosselin is being a prima donna behind the scene of “Dancing with the Stars.”
DWTS execs apparently didn’t see Kate’s other show otherwise they’d know that’s how Kate G. rolls.
According to Pop Eater’s Rob Shuter, former “Jon and Kate Plus 8” star wants Tony Dovolani fired and is causing all sorts of drama behind the scenes.
“Everyone involved in the show thinks Kate is impossible. We all feel very sorry that poor Tony got paired up with her. She talks to him as if he is her ninth child,” sources reportedly told Shuter. “At one point things got so bad that Kate demanded that the shows producers fire Tony and get her a new partner. However, everyone would rather get rid of her than Tony, who is loved by all the staff.”
That said Dovolani told Entertainment Tonight that he regrets telling Gosselin he quit during a fight aired as part of Monday’s show.
“I don’t like speaking when I’m upset because I don’t ever want to bring back words that I don’t mean and ‘I quit’ I guess was one of them,” Dovolani said according to ET.
Poor Tony! Doesn’t seem to be enough glitter in the world to make Kate a nice person.
What do you think?

I think Kate should be voted off. She’s making him look bad and he’s a wonderful dancer. TLC got to her head and she needs to realize where her roots are. She’s fake and is taking advantage of everything. Go home KATE and be a mom and go spend $7,000 on your ugly doo.

Come on…just because he says he’s a world dancer and he trains world dancers and he trains people who train other people doesn’t mean that he knows how to teach someone that has zero dance experience. He wasn’t listening to what she was saying. She is clearly clueless with dancing. PS - there are a lot of jealous people here in Dayton!

She won’t be voted off. The show is about ratings and she is bringing them in because of her behavior. Also, those of you who think the votes are actual need to wake up. It’s “reality TV” and the producer manipulate everything for the ratings.

Kate should have never been there in the first place. It may be true that Tony usually teaches professionals, but Kate spends her time demanding he listen to her, instead of shutting her yap and listening to the teacher. No wonder John found a girlfriend!

This broad is bad news. The producers must had gotten some “added incentive” to put her on the show.

Please people don’t vote for Kate cause you like her! Vote for the people that are dancing good!!! It’s not a popularity vote, it is supposed to be a dance vote!
By just my 2 cents

I thought the show was called “dancing with the stars”? Kate is no star of any kind.She has never made a movie,talk show,etc..all she done was a show on her private life which to me should never be public.So off the show for Kate!!

this is for the prima donna kate gosselin. It is time for you to look back on your 15 minutes of fame. lets have a phony garage sale like the one before and sell your snow white wish mirror. oh by the way, in case your forgot,you have 8 children who would like to be introduced to someone other than their nannies. I vote for their Father. Just because your growing up in a trailer park was a story from hell.Is this how you are running away from the memories. How does it feel to have no family to call on like Kevin,JOdi and Beth and bob, and who ever else you used when you lived in Reading. What is the name of the pretend Charity who gets the cash from your book. Oh, by the way, Wal Mart Stores are not carrying it, I hope that your dwts partner tony will need psycho therapy to recover from your short time on tv. see you
