Overview

  • In an August 7 TikTok video, the 21-year-old wrote that fame forced him apart from his seven siblings and left him wondering what childhood he missed.
  • Collin accused his mother, Kate, of subjecting him to confinement, isolation and zip-tying during filming of Jon & Kate Plus 8.
  • He said he has only seen sister Hannah recently and has not spoken to at least six siblings since his 2016 institutionalization.
  • Kate Gosselin and her attorney have repeatedly denied any intentional abuse, insisting that public records speak for themselves.
  • Collin linked his 2016 placement at a Philadelphia behavioral center and 2018 custody transfer to long-term family rifts and his brief Marine Corps discharge.
