Even though they are the network's biggest stars, the Duggar family was a no show at TLC's Summer Block Party in Philadelphia this past weekend. The family has been uncharacteristically quiet even since reports surfaced that Josh Duggar allegedly sexually abused five young girls when he was a teenager back in 2002.

And while Gosselin made no personal comments of her own about the Duggar scandal, it looks like she has some issues of her own.

The Stir reported on Friday that her boyfriend Jeff 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."
