Kate slammed their claims, telling Behar, "I just know that in the end the truth will prevail, so I honestly don't spend a whole lot of time worrying about it."
Going on to dismiss their claims as an example of her relatives trying to cash in on her celebrity, Kate said: "My brother has made a lot of money off of saying things that are untrue about us. I've not allowed them to see my kids for two years. So I'm not quite sure what information they think they may have."
Kate explained that she distanced her family from the Kreiders because of incidents in the past, saying, "Every single time they were visiting my kids they would turn around and be on some sort of a show the next day talking about, you know, what it is that they saw inside our house.
