A photo of Kate Gosselin that shows the former reality star of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" appearing to make fun of Asians have recently appeared online, according to the Huffington Post.
In the photo, Gosselin wears what appears to be a molded headpiece resembling a geisha-style hairdo while pulling the skin around her eyes to the side of her face. According to RadarOnline, the photo first surfaced on Twitter though a recently created and anonymous account that claims Gosselin "makes fun of Asians with 8 half Korean children." Gosselin's former husband, Jon Gosselin, is the father of her eight children, all of which have Korean ancestry, as Jon Gosselin is a second generation Korean American.
The photo in question popped up just as Kate Gosselin is preparing for her lawsuit against her ex-husband Robert Hoffman, who published a tell-all self-published e-book about the star entitled "Kate Gosselin: She Fooled the World," which was pulled from Amazon.com just two days after its release.
"I'll bet that Kate wishes that she hadn't been photographed making a 'slant-eye' pose with a big smile on her face though. Kate Gosselin has eight part-Asian children. Her ex-husband Jon is half Korean. Is it ok for Kate to do something like that?," Hoffman wrote in his book.
Gosselin told RadarOnline that she planned on moving forward with the lawsuit as she believes that Jon and Hoffman are plotting to spread lies about her abusing her children for their own profit.
Gosselin has yet to comment on the controversial new photo, and the Huffington Post has reached out to her reps for comment, as its origins remain unknown.
