NEW YORK - Reality TV dad Jon Gosselin says he despises his estranged wife Kate and believes she took his wedding ring.
In an interview on "Good Morning America," Gosselin said he set down his ring one day and it vanished.
He says no one else could have taken it.
He also accuses his wife of verbally abusing him and beating him down during their marriage.
It was his first TV interview since divorce papers were filed in June.
Kate Gosselin has made a number of her own interview appearances in recent weeks.
The Gosselins continue to co-star on TLC's hit reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which documents the challenges of raising their twins and sextuplets.
A longer version of Jon's interview airs tonight on ABC's "Primetime: Family Secrets."
