Collin Gosselin Shares Message to Estranged Siblings After Years Apart

The former reality star says he was punished for resisting filming and hopes records in the book support his account.

  • On Tuesday, Collin Gosselin released his memoir In the Shadow of Eight, detailing alleged physical and emotional abuse by his mother, Kate Gosselin, during their time on reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8.
  • Collin alleges his mother institutionalized him at Fairmount Behavioral Health System for 21 months because he 'threatened' her income and image by refusing to film the show.
  • Fourteen complaints regarding his mother's conduct were filed with Child Services, Collin alleges, citing restraint with zip ties and forced medication he termed 'booty juice' during his stay.
  • Estranged from six of his seven siblings, Collin admits he cannot remember their faces, seeking accountability from Kate, who dismissed his accusations as 'ridiculous' in a TikTok comment.
  • The memoir also alleges Phil McGraw facilitated a $2 million bribe to keep his parents married; McGraw's representative denied the claims as 'false' and stated he had no involvement.
