Jon Gosselin was reportedly a no-show at his TLC hearing in a Maryland courthouse today.

The hearing went ahead as scheduled, with the judge announcing that Jon’s lawyers had no plans to call witnesses to the stand.

During the hearing, TLC asked the judge to stop Jon from making any more paid appearances because those appearances violated an exclusive contract that he had signed with the network. They specifically cited Jon’s recent pool party at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, calling the event “embarrassing” and “inconsistent with the image of our show”.

Jon’s lawyer insisted today that Jon had a right to earn a living, and that they would “vigorously defend against this baseless action”.
