Kate’s show and her antics were relentlessly criticised and yet she was one of the most famous names and earned millions. Much like the Kardashians, her last show Jon & Kate Plus 8 was also family-based. After her divorce, she’s, of course, looking at a solo comeback and yet fans aren’t sure the 43-year-old star has still got it. But before we go into all of that, let’s have a look at who Kate was and how exactly do people remember her. And are they ready for her new avatar?
Kate’s ‘mom bob’ is still fresh in the memories of all those who watched her show. The strange hairdo which was sleek at the front and spiky at the back earned her a lot of flak and yet she stuck to it for years. Though she is growing her hair out now, fans wouldn’t be able to forget her messy bob days.

Kate was caught whooping one of her children on camera. A lot of parents spank their children slightly to discipline them. But when you’re caught doing it on camera, it spells troubles. Kate was relentlessly slammed for her antics. And granted raising 8 children is not easy, and yet spanking them on camera, doesn’t help.

Over the years, Kate’s parenting skills have been questioned by her haters. Kate was reportedly too strict with her children and adapted unusual ways to keep them in line. Several reports emerged which referred to her home as the ‘House of Horrors’, owing to Kate’s weird rules. And while the kids have grown up now, her parenting skills are still very fresh in her fans’ minds.

Almost all star have their ugly duckling phases, and so did Kate. The problem is Kate wasn’t really ugly as much as she was a lazy dresser. Kate used to look very different before she found a squad of stylists. With an uneven brunette bob and bad style, Kate was a totally different person before she found stardom.

Do you know Kate fired her cleaning lady because she didn’t dust behind a hamper? That too, on the first day of the job? A lot of people claimed that Kate was doing this for attention, but nevertheless, it just shows that she is a bad boss.

Kate was constantly criticising Jon. From his looks to his parenting skills, Jon was constantly made fun of by Kat. That too, on TV. Kate’s marriage didn’t last and people weren’t really surprised when her marriage broke up. Her behaviour to Jon was a major reason why people don’t like her.

People still remember Kate’s Derby hat which was a total lesson in what not to wear. It’s no secret that Kate has bad style, but it doesn’t take a lot of effort to keep it simple. Kate’s bird’s nest hat which she wore at the Kentucky Derby was hugely slammed and her haters still think it was her worst fashion move.

Remember when Kate and Jon took their kids to the Crayola Factory? Children obviously want to do one thing when they are there and that is colouring. Kate’s objection to that was very confusing as fans didn’t understand what could she possibly have to be miffed about. Though Jon stuck by her children, nobody quite understood why Kate was being fussy.

Kate was the original drama Queen, and her antics were slammed as attention-seeking. She would burst into tears whenever there was an argument and obviously used emotions to manipulate a situation. Fans still think of her as overdramatic and it would be hard for her to change that image.

Kate’s stint in the dance reality show Dancing with the stars was also a dud. Not only is she not a good dancer but she also managed to ruffle her dance partner’s feathers, so much so, that he threatened to quit. And her stint as a dancer didn’t do much good to her career, as much as it jeopardized it.

There’s a running joke that whoever participates in Dancing with the stars is most definitely, not a star. Participating in a dance reality show was a sure shot way of downgrading oneself to C-lister status and Kate did exactly that.

Remember when Kate made an insensitive gesture which was considered racist. This was considered a massive personal attack, especially since her children and he father of her kids are Korean.

Her ex-dumped her for a younger woman and that made news. After her divorce with Jon, Kate found love in a millionaire named Jeff Prescott. But Jeff was apparently not interested in being a part of her reality show and eventually got sick of Kate’s antics and started seeing a younger woman.

Even the Kardashians are pictured going shopping once in a while, but it’s no secret that it’s just a photo op stint and not real grocery shopping. Real stars obviously have assistants to run their errands. But Kate’s multiple runs to Target and grocery stores kind of made her fans curious as to why she’s doing all the real work.

Is Kate too old to be the focus of a romantic reality show? She’s 43 and maybe she should try finding Mr Right in her personal time and not on international TV, where it could go terribly wrong.
