Jon From "Jon & Kate Plus Eight" Say Photographed With Another Woman Was "Poor Judgement"

On Us Weekly, Jon Gosselin from “Jon and Kate Plus Eight,” was photographed with another woman leaving a bar. Gosselin now talks about the incident saying that he used "poor judgement." He was seen leaving a bar after 2 AM on April 18 with an unknown brunette and when they saw the photographers they hurried into his car and sped away without turning on the headlights. A tabloid claimed a security guard saw them kissing in a stairway.

Jon claims that the woman is a "female friend." “Like most people, I have male and female friends and I’m not going to end my friendships just because I’m on TV,” Jon said in a statement to Access Hollywood. “However, being out with them late at night showed poor judgment on my part.”

Jon's celebrity status has put a strain on him. On the March 4 season finale, Jon expressed his frustrations over his celebrity status. “I can’t be Jon – I have to be ‘Jon and Kate Plus Eight,’ which is a real hard thing for me. I still haven’t come to grips with that yet.” he said. “If I go out – people know I go out – [they] photograph it and do everything they’ve got to do.”

This was not the first time Jon was spotted without his wife. Back in February, Jon was photographed at a college party. He was reported flirting with co-eds. Jon denied doing so.

Us Weekly editor Jill Martin says that the family's problems are much deeper. “He’s been going to local bars. He just roams around by himself, which is really very curious behavior,” Martin said. “There are neighbors that say they’ve already separated and he’s living above the garage.”

As the show returns for a new season, Jon said that he is bothered that he has placed his family in a difficult situation. “What makes me sick is that my careless behavior has put my family in this uncomfortable position,” Jon’s statement to Access continued. “My family is the most important thing in my life and it kills me that these allegations have hurt them.”

At this time Kate was on the West Coast promoting her new book, “Eight Little Faces.”

Jon would never cheat on Kate but he is right about using better judgement.
