Kate Gosselin Fired 40 Staffers in 3 Months

Taking a page out of the life of Nadya Suleman, a former baby nurse has come forward to criticize her former employer Kate Gosselin. Us Weekly reports:

Baby nurse Angela Krall, who watched the sextuplets as infants for more than a year, tells Us that the short-fused Kate fired 40 nurses and nurse’s aides in the three months before she was hired. A 2005 AP story reported that a pre-TV Gosselin had petitioned the state to extend payments for Krall, whose fees were first paid by Medicaid .Jon was unemployed. Medicaid provides limited assistance to premature babies. "Kate Gosselin said she feels society has a responsibility to help with the children, since modern medicine promotes the use of fertility drugs, which can lead to multiple births," the AP reported.

While Kate praised Krall in the same story, Krall reveals that Kate posted "demeaning" signs in every room detailing rules, and fired one woman on the spot for washing her hands in the kitchen instead of the bathroom. "Kate flipped," says Krall. "She thought it was cross-contamination."

That level of perfectionism also tore her apart from her father, Kenton Kreider, a pastor, after he gave her cribs donated by his parishioners. "They didn’t match and Kate rejected them," says a family source. "Things like that caused a rift." Krall, who says all six babies ended up with matching cribs, said she "thought they were owed stuff. The money factor was huge."

Now we understand where Nadya Suleman got the idea to put her babies on TV, from Kate. Nadya could have done a deal for the TV show, and fame whoring, without anyone objecting if only she didn’t act so crazy. Kate had better be careful herself, because she’s reached her peak, and now everyone wants to see her fall.
