According to a new report in US Weekly, Kate Gosselin of TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus Eight,” used to give husband Jon only $5 to spend each day.

“She used to give him only $5 to spend, and if he was out and needed more money, she would give him hell,” Jon’s former employer at Style Craft Corp, David Rothermel, told the mag.

According to Rothermel, Kate would even come to the office to complain to Jon in person during her pregnancy with the sextuplets.

“She came in raising hell because Jon’s father was supposed to bring her lunch and he was late,” Rothermel recalled. “She got up out of bed rest to come in and yell at anyone who would listen!”

Another source close to Jon claims that Kate traded in a car that was donated to the family by a friend of Jon’s father because of the color.

“She never thanked him,” the source claimed. “She traded it in because she hated the color burgundy.”

When contacted by Access Hollywood, a rep for Gosselin and TLC had “no comment.”
