Collin Gosselin Shares Message to Estranged Siblings After Years Apart

The former reality TV star says the memoir aims to explain years of estrangement and alleges his mother kept him isolated and abused.

  • On Tuesday, Collin Gosselin released his memoir 'In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood,' detailing allegations of childhood abuse by his mother, Kate Gosselin, while expressing longing to reconnect with estranged siblings.
  • After being institutionalized at Fairmount Behavioral Health System at age 12, Collin alleges he was confined to a basement room and subjected to physical restraints; Kate has disputed the claims as 'ridiculous' while citing psychiatric needs.
  • Forced medication and zip ties were among the abuses Collin claims he endured after pushing back against filming demands for the TLC series 'Jon & Kate Plus 8,' which he alleges his mother used to silence him.
  • Estranged from his siblings for years, Collin admits he struggles to remember their faces and hobbies, acknowledging that speaking his truth may further separate him from family members who remain loyal to Kate.
  • Maintaining that her actions protected the family, Kate has defended the placement, while Collin is considering filing a police report, stating, 'I will not stop fighting' as he advocates for others through his memoir.
