Pictured: Jon Gosselin pulls a gun out from his
back pocket at a photographer after she tried to follow him back to his
home in Beckersville, Pennysylvania on Friday
It's my right: Jon later defended his use of the firearm
The incident happened after the photographer followed Jon home from the Beckersville restaurant where he works in an attempt to obtain photographs of the cabin where he
lives.
The snapper caught
up with Jon, but as soon as she started taking pictures, he is said to
have angrily shouted at her that she was trespassing on private
property.
She made a quick exit, but Gosselin 'chased the photographer until she was back on a main road.'
Meanwhile, his ex-wife Kate Gosselin was not shocked at Jon's rather rash actions.
'I'm not surprised,' she told TMZ; adding that she hadn't previously heard about her former husband's behaviour. 'I don't pay attention to what he does.'
Kate was then asked if she was 'at all concerned [about Jon's actions] given the fact you guys have joint custody.'
Not shocked: Kate Gosselin, pictured on Saturday, said she was unsurprised at the news of ex-husband Jon's actions
Fall from grace: The former reality star lives in this shack in the
woods in Pennsylvania where he is alleged to have pulled a gun out and
fired a warning shot at a photographer
Happier times: Jon pictured with his wife Kate at an event in April 2009 just before their show 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' ended
'I'll let you answer that,' Kate replied as she loaded shopping into her car. 'Nothing surprises me anymore.'
However, the father of eight feels he acted within his legal rights when he fired a shot to warn off a trespassing photographer.
Defending his actions, Jon told TMZ: 'I am
licensed to carry a concealed handgun, which I withdrew and used to fire
a warning shot AWAY from the paparazza.'
He added, 'It is well within my rights under Pennsylvania law when someone is trespassing on private property.'
This latest incident represents yet
another blow for the star, who recently told Entertainment
Tonight how he has struggled to find work since the cheating scandal
and expensive divorce from his ex-wife Kate .
Jon
now works at a restaurant waiting tables to make ends meet and lives in
a cabin in the woods with no internet or television.
He also pays no child support to Kate whom he divorced in 2009.
'I
don't have a relationship with Kate. There is no relationship. Text and
email. That's it,' he added. 'I don't physically see her.'
Jon
appeared on family reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8 for five seasons
before the series was renamed Kate Plus Eight after the couple's break
up.
However, TLC
announced that the series would be cancelled after it reached 150
episodes and the last episode aired on September 12, 2011.
