After experiencing physical violence and hate speech, I have decided that there is no possibility of restoring relationships with anyone in my life. I cannot provide further insight into Collin's actions, but I can attest to witnessing them. Over the past few days, I have received numerous hurtful messages from countless individuals who are unaware of the complete truth about our experiences. I kindly request peace, privacy, and an end to the hate mail moving forward.
In 2007, the siblings gained prominence with the release of Jon & Kate Plus 8, a show that ran for 11 seasons. Recently, Collin criticized our mother, Kate Gosselin, in Vice's Dark Side of the 2000s.
“I was about to inform my teachers about my mother, but before I proceed, can I use the term ‘abusive’ without any restrictions on air?” he questioned in the latest episode aired on Wednesday. “This is actually the reason why she sent me away. I had just begun disclosing the truth about the situation at home, and she got wind of it and had to place me somewhere secure to ensure the secrets wouldn't be revealed.”

After a brief stay at Fairmont Behavioral Health in 2016, Collin Gosselin was raised by his father Jon Gosselin. Reflecting on his time at the facility, Collin shared the intense emotional challenge he experienced before being taken in by Jon. He expressed, "It was an extremely dark and lonely period. I solely relied on myself without any support system. The fear and confusion were overwhelming."
Kate, who is 48 years old, and Jon, who is 46 years old, became the proud parents of twins named Madelyn and Cara in the year 2000. Four years later, they were blessed with sextuplets named Collin, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Leah, and Jo.
Following ten years of marriage, Kate and Jon ended their relationship in 2009 and initiated a custody battle over their children. Jon became the primary caretaker for Hannah and Collin until they reached the age of 18. However, he has been distant from his other children for a number of years.
Kate, for her part, previously denied Collin’s claims about her treatment toward him, according to the Vice doc.
