Jon & Kate: It just got ugly

He took the money! Stupid Kate, the first thing you shoulda done when announcing divorce is gone to the bank. From Radaronline:

At the same time he was telling a national TV audience that he wanted to put the brakes on his divorce and establish a better relationship with his wife, Jon Gosselin was secretly emptying their bank account, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

Jon violated an arbitrator's rules and pulled hundreds of thousands of dollars out of his joint account with Kate, leaving her with only $1,000, a RadarOnline.com investigation uncovered.

It's the most dramatic turn yet in what has been a public brawl of a divorce, with Jon hiring a controversial lawyer and trying to repair his public image in the past few weeks.

He appeared on Larry King Live last week with his lawyer Mark Heller and said he had an epiphany, adding: "I want Kate and I to mediate. I want us to become friends."

But within hours of uttering those words, Jon was withdrawing several hundred thousand dollars from his joint bank account with Kate without her knowledge, leaving his estranged wife with only $1,000.

When Kate discovered what happened she engaged a high-powered lawyer who immediately sent Jon a letter, demanding he return the money to the bank account. And RadarOnline.com has learned that another lawyer for Kate will go to court in Pennsylvania on Monday to file papers demanding the money be returned.

Multiple sources tell RadarOnline.com that Jon's actions were in violation of the Gosselin divorce arbitrator's guidelines.

Another bank account, set up for the Gosselin children, was untouched.
