Jon
& Kate Plus Eight stars Kate Gosselin completely denies the claim
that she is having arelationship with Steve Neild, a bodyguard who frequently
travels with her and her family. Two weeks ago even her husband, Jon Gosselin,
was linked with a 23-year-old school teacher. Kate says she is now the target of tabloid
lies. "The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about
our security person and his family," Kate tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"Already the allegations they're making about me are disgusting,
unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified." "These
are people who absolutely love us and want to see us through to the end,"
Kate says of Neild and his family. "Of course, both of them travel with us
at times, and we've spent holidays together, because, in this situation, your
circle grows smaller and smaller, and it's very natural to become friends with
your manager, your publicist, your security team ... they're the only people
you have left. And now they're coming under fire."
Kate says
she is terrified that this latest round of stories will drive away the friends
she and her family have left. "I'm totally panicking, and thinking, 'We
are going to lose our last set of friends.' I keep calling them, begging,
'Seriously, I'm so sorry. Don't run away from us.' They keep saying, ‘We're
fine, we're fine.' But they have paparazzi in front of their house. It's so
upsetting." Ultimately,
Kate says she does not know what she can do to stop the insanity. "The
scary thing for me is [the tabloids] are going to take information and create a
story. It's a matter of, 'When will they stop?' They're going to keep going,
and they'll make up stuff to connect the dots." I guess time will tell.
