Jon Gosselin's lawyer reacted! Early this week when cable network TLC filed suit against their former reality show star citing "breach of contract". In the statement released by Jon Gosselin's lawyer to media sites, Atty. Mark Heller defended his client by saying that TLC "has elected to initially litigate this case in the Court of Public Opinion, rather than the Circuit Court for Montgomery County Maryland".

Jon Gosselin's lawyer also cited TLC's violated the Pennsylvania Child Labor Laws, and we quote: "The contract was against Public Policy because we believe Discovery and TLC violated Pennsylvania Child Labor Laws, failed to seek appropriate State and Municipal Permits, failed to pay the Gosselins fair consideration, and intentionally circumvented their responsibility to specifically designate legal and lawful compensation to the eight infant children, which is now the subject of an investigation by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry and could result in summary Criminal Proceedings."
