HAILEY GLASSMAN ON JON GOSSELIN: "HE TAKES HIS ANGER AND FRUSTRATION OUT ON ME. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH BEING EMOTIONALLY ABUSED."

October 28, 2009 (Los Angeles, CA)--  Hailey Glassman speaks out for the very first time about her relationship with Jon Gosselin as she joins THE INSIDER panel tomorrow, Thursday, October 29th and Friday, October 30th.

On the current state of her relationship with Jon, Hailey says, "We're at a point now where I don't know why I love him. He gets frustrated and angry and I'm the one who gets the brunt. He'll call me and take his anger out on me. He has 'mantrums.' I shouldn't have to put up with being emotionally abused. I cry and say why are you so mean to me? He takes it out on me. He talks over me so I can't speak. Sometimes he has trouble with the truth and he will dance and dance around his lies. He's like Jekyll and Hyde. But I still love him."

She goes on to tell THE INSIDER that her life has completely changed since she began dating Jon, "I met Jon in a bubble. I'd never seen the show. I had no idea. He begged me to go to France and I come home to chaos. People judge me before they meet me. I get threats everyday. I get called a home wrecker and a fat whore. People will stare or point. It gets worse everyday. It's taken a toll on me. Jon sees I'm not happy. At what point is it too much?"

On how she thinks Jon's estranged wife Kate feels about her, she says, "Kate wouldn't say I was a home wrecker. I have respect for her. She's like a lioness protecting her cubs. That's her turf."

When asked how her family feels about her involvement with Jon, she says, "He's driven a fork between my family and I. My parents want me to be a normal 22 year old. It's not a normal relationship. I love him, but as for my family and I, he needs to regain our trust. He lied to my mother."

When asked why she stays with Jon, Hailey responds, "I don't want to leave him all alone. At the end of the day, I love him but I dislike him at times. When I love someone I would never hurt them."

On what she hopes to gain by sharing her side of the story, "I feel I am finally going to get my chance to speak. I have nothing to hide. I hope that people see me as a human being and don't judge me from the media. I can't be the dishrag anymore. I want to continue my life. I want my name to be forgotten."
