Even though they co-parent eight children together, it looks like ex-spouses Kate and Jon Gosselin will never be able to get along again. There is new speculation that Jon might be behind Kate's child abuse allegations as he supposedly wants to "taint" her public image by planting fabricated reports.

According to Celebrity Dirty Laundry on Friday, there's a possibility that Jon might be behind the anonymous phone calls that reported Kate to child services. In one claim, it was reported that Kate was allegedly abusive towards her son Collin.

A source told the site, "Someone called and told them that Kate had been both physically and psychologically abusive to one of her sextuplets, Collin."

The insider further explains that Jon is acting like his son's "savior-in-waiting" while at the same time he's sabotaging Kate's reputation to her fans.

The source added, "Jon wants to put a stop to it. Collin's brothers and sisters see how Kate treats their brother like he's an indentured servant, and they've cried to their dad about how poorly their mom treats Collin."

Jon himself previously stated, "The kids tell me they still get spanked, I know her rage. She will do it in front of all the other kids to scare them into behaving. They have so much fear of their mother."

The Berks County Pennsylvania Department of Children and Youth Services have determined that the claims against Kate have been unfounded.

Jon and Kate separated in 2010 before finalizing their divorce in 2011.
