Things are not going well for reality TV star Kate Gosselin. Aside from being accused as an overbearing mother to her kids and a fraudulent writer by her own friend and co-author, the 39-year-old TLC star is currently facing controversies on how she allegedly ran her hit reality television show, that she's rude to everyone, and that she "intentionally" got pregnant with multiples to become famous.

A crew member of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" claims that Gosselin gave them very strict house rules while filming the show. Author Robert Hoffman, who has recently published the book "Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World, The Rise and Fall of a Reality TV Queen," said that Gosselin provided stringent rules to crew members, whom she at one point, claimed publicly she considers as "family." Gosselin reportedly imposed rules such as never discussing or writing down the home address, having one specific bathroom, and having a specific thermostat for the house.

Here are the other rules allegedly given by Gosselin, as published by Radar Online:

Specific door use- side double doors on left side of house- enters into basement- no other doors in house to be used by crew members AT ALL please.
Do not leave trash or any equipment behind in our house. A walk through by a PA should be done at the end of each shoot to ensure that all equipment/ trash was collected.
No shoes in house or apt at any time. Shoe booties (that have NOT been worn outside!) or no shoes. Period.

A crew member, who wishes to remain anonymous, reportedly told Hoffman that Gosselin treated them "like sh*t," and that she's rude to everyone.

"Nothing surprises me anymore with her," he added.

Hoffman, according to Classicalite, also claims that Gosselin intentionally had two sets of multiples so she could "become the working mom's Martha Stewart," and that the eight children are merely "pawns in her game to accumulate as much wealth and notoriety as she could."

Gosselin has not yet issued a statement regarding the allegations.
