EXCLUSIVE: TLC Lines Up Bombshell Witnesses Against Jon Gosselin In Court Case
Nov. 5 2009, Published 8:22 a.m. ET
Forget about tear-filled TV interviews and dramatic walking-off-the-set moments.
The most explosive and revealing interviews about Jon Gosselin's life are all about to happen - under oath!
RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that not only will Jon's girlfriend Hailey Glassman be deposed by TLC's law firm Williams & Connolly, but so will Jon's bodyguard and four other witnesses.
The Washington, D.C. law firm with a reputation for fierce and effective tactics has been extremely busy since filing suit in a Maryland court on October 16 for breach of contract against Jon. The firm has filed motion after motion in the Montgomery County Circuit Court.
RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that on November 4 the court granted a slew of motions filed by the law firm, allowing them to depose Hailey Glassman, Jon's bodyguard Thomas Meinelt, Michael Heller, Mark Heller, Michael Lohan and Matthew Kirschner.

The fact that Williams & Connolly has been granted the right to depose the Hellers should mean that they will not be allowed to represent Jon in the case, as they are now witnesses.
TLC alleges that Jon breached his exclusive contract with them and Williams & Connolly has gotten off to a fast start on a fact-finding mission to determine Jon's other sources of incomes.
The Hellers will certainly be asked about every non-TLC payday Jon has received and Hailey will also be forced to reveal what she knows under oath.
Michael Lohan has stated publicly that he and Jon were lining up a new reality TV show about divorced dads.

Most interesting perhaps, is Meinelt, who went from paparazzi to Jon's bodyguard. His knowledge of Jon's financial and personal affairs should be extensive and he is certain to face intense questioning during deposition.
