Collin Gosselin Shares Message to Estranged Siblings After Years Apart
The memoir says he hopes to correct years of separation and abuse claims that have kept the siblings apart.
- In his newly released memoir 'In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood,' Collin Gosselin detailed allegations that his mother, Kate Gosselin, locked him in a basement and institutionalized him during childhood.
- Collin alleges Kate retaliated against him because he resisted filming 'Kate Plus 8,' isolating him, monitoring his movements with security cameras, and eventually institutionalizing him at age 12.
- The memoir recounts Collin being restrained with zip ties, injected with medication he dubbed "booty juice," and spending 21 months at Fairmount Behavioral Health System after an escape attempt at age 11.
- Kate has disputed the accusations, calling them "ridiculous" on social media, while Collin describes his father, Jon Gosselin, as his "best friend" after moving in with him and sister Hannah Gosselin.
- As the memoir hits bookshelves, Collin expresses hope it will inspire his six estranged siblings to seek understanding. He maintains, "I love them so very much!" despite years of separation.
