Collin Gosselin Shares Message to Estranged Siblings After Years Apart

Collin Gosselin says the memoir details years of isolation, forced treatment and abuse claims, and he hopes it will help mend ties with six siblings.

  • On Tuesday, Oct. 13, Collin Gosselin released his memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, detailing alleged years of physical and emotional abuse by his mother, Kate Gosselin, during their time on reality television.
  • Collin alleges his mother institutionalized him at Fairmount Behavioral Health System at age 12 to silence his complaints, claiming he spent roughly 22 months in the Pennsylvania facility.
  • The memoir details harsh treatment, including being locked in a basement room and restrained with zip ties; Collin claims staff injected him with a sedative referred to as "booty juice" during his stay.
  • Kate has previously disputed the accusations as "ridiculous," stating she institutionalized him for the safety of the family and that outpatient treatment proved insufficient for his needs.
  • Since 2018, Collin has lived with his father, Jon Gosselin, and sister Hannah; Collin remains estranged from most of his siblings, whom he struggles to remember.
