TLC suspends filming on 'Jon & Kate'

TLC has announced that filming on Jon & Kate Plus 8 has been suspended, according to People.

Jon Gosselin earlier issued a "cease and desist" order to the network demanding that filming on the reality show stop.

He also threatened to call the police if any production crews entered his family home, claiming that they would be trespassing on the property.

In a statement, TLC said: "We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements, and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behaviour. He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic."

The network added: "Despite Jon Gosselin's repeated self-destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents."

It was recently announced that the show would be relaunched as Kate Plus Eight in November, focusing on his estranged wife Kate's new role as a single mother.

She has yet to comment on the reports.
