Unfortunately it looks like Kate Gosselin is going from one deadbeat dad to another. There's a new report that says the reality television star's rumored boyfriend Jeff Prescott has been accused of child neglect after a rather messy divorce from his ex-wife Michelle Jones.

According to The Stir on Friday, Prescott - who sounds a lot like Gosselin herself - supposedly tried to manipulate his three children Ashley, Brooke, and Connor to side against their mother during the ex-couple's court battles. What's more, his ex-wife even claims that he was a rather absent father during their childhood as he supposedly had infrequent visits with them and would sometimes be unreachable for a couple of days.

Jones said in court papers, "There have been times when he has not answered his cell phone for days."

In court papers dated from February 2006, Prescott supposedly tried to manipulate his children against Jones.

He wrote one email to his daughter Ashley that said, "I ... want to make it very clear that I have given your Mom every chance to try and settle things in a way that would not require all that is about to transpire. Again, she has chosen this battle for reasons I cannot understand."

He added, "We will spend a ton of money on lawyers. Money that I would have rather seen go to you guys or your Mother but she sees things differently."

So far, Gosselin herself has not made any comments on the allegations nor has she even confirmed her relationship with Prescott. The couple is rumored to have been dating since October of last year.
