In an interview on The Today Show Monday, Kate Gosselin said her estranged husband Jon Gosselin had taken $230,000 out of a joint bank account without her permission. Kate Gosselin has filed legal action against Jon Gosselin to return the money he took, saying he violated an order banning him from making large withdrawals from the joint account without her approval.

“He took $230,000 of the $231,000 we had,” Kate told Meredith Vieira on The Today Show. “I have a stack of bills. The last thing I wanted was to do this show and end up not being able to pay our bills.”

The nasty divorce battle between Jon and Kate Gosselin hit a new drama high last week when TLC announced they would basically be firing Jon Gosselin from the couple’s reality TV show Jon & Kate Plus 8.

The network planned to revamp the show as Kate Plus 8 and focus on Kate Gosselin’s struggle raise eight children as a single mom. Jon Gosselin, however, ordered TLC to “cease and desist” filming, effectively shutting down the show.
