Collin Gosselin discusses alleged abuse by mom Kate Gosselin

Key Points:

• Collin Gosselin, former star of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," alleges he endured abuse and isolation by his mother, Kate Gosselin, following his parents' 2009 divorce, including being locked in a basement and physically harmed.
• He revealed that a teacher noticed signs of abuse, and after reporting it, he was removed from school and later institutionalized where he was medicated and had limited family contact.
• Collin claims his mother sought to protect her reputation by controlling his narrative, while Kate Gosselin has previously denied abuse allegations, describing investigations as unfounded.
• After legal efforts by his father, Jon Gosselin, Collin was released from the institution and now lives with his father and sister Hannah; an independent psychological evaluation in 2023 found no mental health diagnoses.
• Currently a college finance student, Collin expresses a desire to reconnect with his siblings, though he acknowledges their relationships may never be the same; Kate Gosselin and TLC did not respond to requests for comment.
