Collin Gosselin accuses mom Kate of venting anger and frustration on him.
Former reality star Collin Gosselin Makes Accusations Against His Estranged Mom Kate
The 19-year-old former reality star, Collin Gosselin, who gained fame through the reality series “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” recently opened up about his troubled relationship with his estranged mother, Kate, during an interview.
“I know my mother was going through a lot of things. I mean, a divorce and plenty of different things that can’t be easy to go through,” Collin said in a preview of Vice TV’s “Dark Side of the 2000s” documentary.
“And, you know, I want to think that she needed someone to take out her anger and frustration on, and it was just kind of me. I was in the way and I was there. So, she chose me.”
Collin also acknowledged that he was not a “perfect child” and believes that his misbehavior was no different from that of his siblings. He is one of the sextuplets, along with Leah, Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, and Joel. His two older siblings are twins Madelyn and Cara, 22.
Hannah, Collin’s sister, was also interviewed and confirmed the accusations made by her brother. She claimed that Collin would often be separated from the rest of the family, not being allowed to play outside with them and having dinner at different times.
“I don’t think effort was made in the home to help him learn what behavior is acceptable and what behavior is not acceptable,” Hannah said.
Kate had enrolled Collin, then 12, into a behavioral learning facility in 2016, according to Buzzfeed. However, his father Jon took him out of the school in 2018 and was awarded full custody of Collin at that time.
“After being [in the facility], I didn’t have a relationship with her,” Collin told Entertainment Tonight in November. “Even before [being] there, I don’t think we had much of a relationship, and I think that just kept tearing it even more down.”
“I want to believe it was because of TV and what being in the public eye does to a family. I think it tore us apart,” he added. “It gave us less time to actually be together as a family, [and] more time to be in the public eye.”
