Why, thank you for sharing with us, Jon.

Please STFU and DIAF.

A public apology is not enough. He needs to off himself.

The Gosselin's former nanny, Stephanie Santoro, has become the latest to take to the airwaves and reveal her side of the Gosselin affair, reports RadarOnline.com.

Santoro says that Gosselin isn't just having a hard time dealing with the fame, at times he's been practically suicidal and Santoro fears for his life if Glassman were to leave for good.

"He said he was going to kill himself," Santoro tells RadarOnline. "[He said] that he couldn't handle it anymore. That his kids would be better taken care of by Kate if he wasn't around."

Santoro's announcement comes just days after a tearful Hailey Glassman appeared on "The Insider" to say that Gosselin was emotionally abusive. Santoro went on to say that when Jon and Kate first broke up, Jon "said that he'd just sit there and ask ‘Why? Why? Why?' and just sat there and cried. And he didn't understand… It's like he can't handle somebody leaving him."

At the same time, Gosselin seems desperate to rectify his public image. He released a statement saying he's been meeting with Rabbi Shumley Boteach for spiritual counseling and is supposedly trying to win Glassman back, reports People.com.

"My girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, has paid a significant price to live under such a media microscope," Gosselin told "The Insider."

The father of eight also stated that he regrets "any pain" that his actions have caused as Glassman "has selflessly born the pressures I have endured under the media glare," reports People.com. Gosselin says he is now committed to making things right with Glassman, his estranged wife, Kate and of course, his eight children.

"I ask you to please give me the opportunity to prove myself," Gosselin concluded.

On Sunday, Gosselin is expected to speak at New York's West Side Synagogue, after being encouraged by Rabbi Boteach. The reality TV dad released a statement Thursday explaining he wanted to publicly apologize for his recent behavior.

Uhhhhh who fucking cares. If she doesn't like it, she can either leave or she can off herself. No one would give a piss either way.

Rabbi Schmuley is turning into a famewhore. He was just on the Today show and Dateline for his tapes on counselling Michael Jackson and now he's counselling Jon Gosselin? He's turning into the Dr. Drew of Rabbis.

Oh my. The ever-growing circus just added a few rings.

Jon Gosselin's liaison with girlfriend Hailey Glassman while he is still legally wed to Kate goes against the Jewish faith and is just not a good idea, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach tells the Huffington Post. He hinted that the relationship may end Sunday, when Jon makes a public apology to those he has hurt at NYC's West Side Synagogue.

The rabbi, whom Jon has consulted for spiritual guidance and parenting advice, is a father of 9 himself and served as a spiritual adviser to Michael Jackson. He has counseled Jon to break up with Hailey, 22, who is Jewish and made Jon half so, until his divorce is final.

"When your head is spinning and you're going through a divorce, how could you possibly choose wisely in a relationship?" Boteach said.

He declined to reveal the details on what Jon has said during their private discussions about Hailey but said that Jon will address their future, or lack thereof, on Sunday. Will he break up with Hailey then?

"Your question will be answered Sunday," Boteach said. "It is my belief that that will be addressed." He also said he has counseled Jon to stop having sex out of wedlock, but no word on whether his advice has fallen on deaf ears.

"I'm not going to talk about the things that go on between two adults," he said. "I'm not going to get into the nitty-gritty."

Jon self-identifies as "half-Jewish, half-Korean," but Boteach regards him as Christian, as he has not taken any official steps toward conversion. "Christianity is a beautiful faith," Boteach said. "If he thinks he's half-Jewish, God bless him."

On Sunday Jon will "apologize for the profligate behavior he has already denounced," in addition to his mystery announcement about Hailey, Boteach said.

Suspenseful, but Boteach has tickets to sell. Hurry and get some before they run out.

Jon's mea culpa, or "Rabbi Shmuley engages Jon Gosselin in a raw and intimate dialogue on the ethical challenges and moral responsibility of celebrity," takes place Sunday at 7 pm at the West Side Synagogue on 34th Street in NYC.
