The nasty war between Jon and Kate Gosselin just took its ugliest turn yet, people.com reports.
According to Radar Online, Jon cleared out the couple’s joint bank account, leaving his estranged wife with just $1,000 US. Another account, set up for the Gosselin children, was untouched, Radar reports.
A source familiar with the situation confirmed the details of the report to People, and said Kate plans to take legal action, adds the magazine.
When initially reached for comment, a rep for Jon was unaware of the situation and had no comment.
The allegation against Jon caps an intensely bitter week between the couple, during which their TLC series Jon & Kate Plus Eight suspended production. The move followed the network’s announcement on Sept. 29 that Jon was being dropped from the show, and him saying he wanted stop the show because it was damaging his children.
Speaking to CNN interviewer Larry King Thursday, Jon, 32, said he last spoke to Kate “3½ weeks ago,” and that she wants to keep the show going “for financial reasons.”
Asked by King how much he made from the series last year, Jon replied $1 million before taxes, $500,000 after.
