On August 7, 2025, former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Collin Gosselin, 21, shared an emotional TikTok message to his seven siblings, lamenting the years they\u2019ve spent apart. Posting a throwback photo of them together, he wrote about being \u201cforced apart\u201d and \u201cpitted against each other,\u201d blaming the toll of fame for their fractured bond. He expressed deep love for them, recalling memories they never got to share. Collin said he still sees sister Hannah occasionally, cherishing their limited time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When one commenter suggested he might someday understand their mother Kate\u2019s perspective, Collin responded with allegations of abuse. He claimed he was locked up, zip-tied, isolated, and eventually sent away at 12, with only one visit from Kate\u2014during which she allegedly told him he \u201cdestroyed the family.\u201d He vowed to break the cycle and teach his future children the importance of sibling bonds. Collin said he hasn\u2019t spoken to most siblings since 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collin detailed years of mistreatment, including being kept in a basement room with cameras and false psychiatric diagnoses, which he says were meant to protect the family\u2019s image. At 11, he was placed in a facility for behavioral conditions he insists he never had, showing medical records to dispute the claims. He has sworn never to put his own children on TV and believes his siblings\u2019 negative perceptions are due to Kate\u2019s influence. Despite it all, he hopes for reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kate\u2019s lawyer has denied any intent to harm Collin, saying she acted under medical advice for the safety of the family, citing multiple psychiatric diagnoses and violent outbursts. She described him as having a \u201cdistorted perception of reality\u201d and maintained distance for safety reasons. Jon Gosselin supports Collin\u2019s account, alleging years of suspected abuse and minimal visitation while Collin was institutionalized.
