Mady Gosselin accuses brother Collin of being a VIOLENT BIGOT

Mady Gosselin made a rare statement about the reason for her estrangement from brother Collin Gosselin after he discussed their family dynamic in a new docuseries.

"I never wanted to have to speak up about this in order to allow my brother the ability to live privately after the conclusion of our family's TV show, but I've been overwhelmed by hate messages in the last few days and I feel I must set the record straight," Mady, 22, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, July 19.

Mady claimed that her ups and downs with Collin, 19, recently hit a turning point, adding, "I do not owe my allegiance to any person(s), who has physically threatened me and every member of my immediate family (some incidents as recent as last year). Further, I will never allow someone who has exhibited hateful and even violent behavior towards others based in their racial identity, gender identity, or religious beliefs to be in my life."

She continued: "Kindness, tolerance, love, and acceptance are core values in my life and I refuse to compromise them for ANYONE, even my brother Collin, who has unfortunately made his opinions very clear in private."

In the lengthy statement, Mady said she doesn't expect to rebuild her relationship with Collin in the future.

"For me, there is no further conversation to be had about rebuilding relationships with anyone in my life after reaching the point of physical violence and hate speech. I cannot speak any further on why Collin has done these things, just that I have witness them," she concluded. "I've had hundreds of people messaging my private accounts with the most hurtful words you can imagine in the last few days, all without knowing the full truth of what we've been through. I'm asking for peace and privacy (and no more hate mail) going forward."

The siblings entered the spotlight in 2007 with the premiere of Jon & Kate Plus 8, which ran for 11 seasons. Collin recently put mom Kate Gosselin on blast in Vice's Dark Side of the 2000s.

"I was starting to tell my teachers that my mother was — wait, real quick. Can I use the word 'abusive' or are they not allowed to use that on air?" he said in Wednesday's episode. "That's kind of the reason why she sent me away. I was starting to tell people what was going on at home, and she caught wind of that and had to put me somewhere where I wouldn't be able to get the secrets out."

Collin was raised by father Jon Gosselin after being briefly institutionalized at Fairmont Behavioral Health in 2016. He described the emotional toll of being in the facility before Jon, 46, took him in, saying, "It was a really, really dark place. All I had was myself. I didn't have anybody else. I had no support system. It was scary. I was confused, I was lost."

Kate, 48, and Jon, 46, welcomed twins Madelyn and Cara in 2000. Four years later, Collin and his sextuplet siblings — Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Leah and Jo — were born.

After a decade of marriage, Kate and Jon called it quits in 2009 and began battling for custody of their children. Jon was the primary guardian for Hannah and Collin until they turned 18 but has been estranged from his other children for several years.

Kate, for her part, previously denied Collin's claims about her treatment toward him, according to the Vice doc.

I believe Mady.

At first, I was "team Collin" because I dislike Kate.

But for Mady to come out with "I will never allow someone who has exhibited hateful and even violent behavior towards others based in their racial identity, gender identity, or religious beliefs to be in my life" sounds serious.

He must have been railing on blacks, gays, and Jews at home, and I'm glad his family shunned him.

Can you imagine being in a reality show from toddler-age? These kids had no chance for any kind of normal childhood. Stuck in a circus from Day 1. I don’t know who to believe; I also don’t understand who would threaten the young woman with texts and emails.

Kate probably has a special place in Hell, I don’t know about the dad.

Mady says Collin was a violent towards them but aside from Hannah, none of his other siblings has had contact with him in years. How did the find out he was a bigot? Now, I don't at all doubt he threatened the family when he was sent away, which was why he was sent away. But she said "recently" and I don't believe it. Because it meant they began communicating and that in itself would have been a story.

Collin is fucked up. We all know that but the entire family is fucked up.

Mady was a child and followed the lead of her mother. Occams razor.

I didn't think the Vice interview was all that bad. In the ET interview he did told the same stories. But one thing is constant is that they all agree the other kids haven't had contact with Collin since 2016, which somewhat complicates Mady's explanations.

I'm fairly sure the violence she's talking about last year was his fight with Jon.

[quote] Colin Gosselin shares what happened when, as a child, he didn't want to film reality show

“Jon and Kate Plus 8” star Collin Gosselin was pretty much born into reality TV.

“I was about three or 4 years old when the show started,” Collin, 19, said in a new episode of VICE TV’s “Dark Side of the 2000s.”

“To be honest, I don’t have any clear memories of before the cameras were there,” he continued. “You know, they were always there.”

Collin’s dad Jon Gosselin, who was also interviewed for the documentary series, claimed that there was one February in 2007 or 2008, where the family filmed “every single day except for two.”

Collin is one of Kate and Jon Gosselin’s sextuplets — Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel — whose childhood was documented on the TLC reality series “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” His twin sisters, Cara and Mady, 22, also appeared on the show.

In the docuseries, Collin recalled mornings where he would wake up and wonder, “Do the cameras have to be here?”

“There were times where I definitely wanted that day off,” he revealed.

In those moments, Collin said he would shut down and refuse to cooperate with producers.

“I was quiet. I would just be there and be completely silent in interviews and not interact or do what I had to do,” he said in the VICE TV episode.

Interviewed for the docuseries, Collin’s sister Hannah said their mother responded by keeping him separate from his siblings.

“Like he would not get to come and play outside with us. He would eat different at different times than us,” Hannah revealed in “Dark Side of the 2000s.”

Following Jon and Kate’s tumultuous divorce in 2009, Kate was awarded full legal custody of their children. In 2016, Kate sent Collin to what she described to People magazine as a residential program for kids with special needs. But Collin paints a different picture of the facility.

“Being in an institution really took a toll on me mentally,” he told VICE TV. “It was a really dark place. You know, all I had was myself. I didn’t have anybody else. You know, I had no support system. I was confused. I was lost.”

“We did not talk to Collin for years while he was in the facility,” Hannah said in the docuseries. “We didn’t even know where he was.”

In the episode, Collin alleges that Kate sent him away after he told his teachers that his mom was being "abusive" to him at home.

"You know, she caught wind of that, and had to put me somewhere where I wouldn't be able to get the secrets out," he said in the docu-series. (Kate "firmly denied" Collin's abuse allegations, according to VICE TV. She did not respond to an email from TODAY requesting comment).

Jon shared in the episode that he was in the dark about Collin’s whereabouts until 2018, when he received a letter from his son, begging to come home. That same year, Jon was granted sole custody of Collin.

With the exception of Hannah, Collin does not have a relationship with his brothers and sisters. Collin is also estranged from Kate.

In the docuseries, Collin said he "didn't hear anything from any of them," after a 2022 car accident, where he says he fell asleep at the wheel and the car flipped.

"They didn’t reach out at all,” he said. “I love them to death, and I really, really hope one day that we can all reconnect and put the show behind us, and just be siblings again… and take back the time we didn’t have.”

Gosselins w/o Pity! I used to go to that site back in the day. There were posters in those threads who found a Berkshire, PA chatroom where the townsfolk gossiped about the family. Several of them had volunteered to help with the sextuplets when they were born. This was when Jon and Kate still lived in the smaller house and Jon worked in IT. He would leave for work and then Kate, according to the townsfolk, would take her tumbler and her plastic chair and sit out in the driveway for most of the day while the nurses and the volunteers took care of the kids. When Jon would get home, he would roll up his sleeves and take over watching the kids. He's done some douchy things, but I think he cared/cares about the kids. They were just a means to fame for Kate.

Yeah, Kate is a twat, a narsy cunt, and as such, withholds love from her kids and uses intermittent reinforcement, that's the strongest kind, so Mady and the other cowed ones, will do anything to get on Kate's good side. I bet Mady changes her tune in ten years or so. I believe Collin and John. Let's ask Aunt Beth! Oh wait, Aunt Beth hasn't been around in years, not since she started to get paid to be on the show, now she and Kate's brother are persona non grata. I hope those kids have college money, cause that mulleted cunt made so much off them.

I think the truth about Kate and Collin is somewhere in the middle. I'm not a fan of Kate, but I don't think she shipped him off just because he wanted to eat at different times than the rest. There are 8 kids and the odds are that one of them will be difficult to deal with.

Do I think he should have been institutionalized? Probably not. Jon could have and should have stepped in earlier. The institution could have been avoided.

R26, Kate previously said he was put away for "special needs". Jon said he was trying to locate him when Collin sent that letter to him. But here's the deal. If he was so difficult to deal with, why didn't she simply place him with Jon in the first place.

by Anonymousreply 27July 21, 2023 7:21 PM

Jon is the father of Collin & still had legal rights to custody. He didn't have to wait until Kate decided to "place Collin with Jon." Jon either let it happen (institution) or he was so out of the loop, as a father, that he didn't know it happened. Either way, Jon doesn't look great, either.

OK, I thought they had joint custody. Because there was a brouhaha about them exchanging custody and Kate calling 911 during the exchange. Whoopi Goldberg (Kate was on The View) raked Kate over the coals for calling 911 during the custody exchange.

I guess, at some point, Kate got full custody of them.

by Anonymousreply 34July 21, 2023 9:49 PM

Kate's full statement follows:

"I have never wanted to have to do this, but I feel I have been backed into a corner and left with no choice. Although it saddens me to do so, I need to speak out now.

My son Collin, whom I love with all my heart, has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years. For the safety of myself, his brothers and sisters and for his own well-being, he was placed in a facility following years of outpatient treatment which proved insufficient for his needs. The decision to admit him was made by emergency room doctors following one of his many attacks/outbursts — this one involving his use of a weapon.

Fast forward to the present day, and following Jon’s removal of Collin from treatment, my son’s unpredictable and violent behavior has sadly continued regularly towards Jon, Hannah and others around him.

Collin's distorted perception of reality is one of the many issues that he has always struggled with. As many people who have family members grappling with mental health issues can attest, it is rarely and sadly surprising when complete fabrications occur, and this is just another heartbreaking facet of this fight. All parent-child relationships are complex, but when mental illness is involved, it is incredibly complicated and painful, let alone easy for others on the outside to understand.

All measures that were taken in our home were at the explicit recommendation of his pediatric psychiatrist and/or his team of specialists and were put into place to safeguard every member of our family, our friends as well as our family pets.

Unfortunately, I believe Collin remains a very troubled young man who continues to need a lot of help. His brothers and sisters and I have not been directly involved in his life due to his history of unpredictable behavior and violent tendencies towards us. What his sister Mady posted on social media recently is completely accurate and I deeply appreciate her bravery in doing so.

This is all I have to say on the matter and I will not be discussing this subject any further at this time."

[quote] Kate Gosselin Calls Son Collin Gosselin an ‘Offender’

Kate Gosselin isn’t letting the public have the final say about her parenting decisions. After her teenage son Collin Gosselin accused her of abuse during his Vice TV interview, the internet exploded. Now, social media users are blaming Kate and alleging that she made the wrong choices for her child.

While responding to multiple Instagram users under her Friday, July 21, post, Kate, 48, slammed a commenter who identified themself as a professional in the mental health field.

“But you’re speaking as an expert in mental illness, stating what YOU’D DO OR NOT DO when, in fact, you don’t have a child with mental illness!” Kate wrote. “So, I ask you, would you not do ANYTHING to protect your child/children from an attacker, even if the offender was someone in your own home?”

The Kate Plus 8 alum then concluded, “And if the offender was one of your four children, would you turn your head and allow it to continue? I seriously doubt it.”

Kate’s Instagram post stirred up endless controversy among social media users. In her statement, Kate noted that she felt as if she had been “backed into a corner and left with no choice” after Collin, 19, dropped several bombshells in his previous interview. In reaction to Collin’s accusations, Kate alleged that her son caused an unsafe environment for her and her children.

“My son Collin, whom I love with all my heart, has received psychiatric diagnoses over the years,” Kate began in her lengthy note. “For the safety of myself, his brothers and sisters and for his own well-being, he was placed in a facility following years of outpatient treatment, which proved insufficient for his needs. The decision to admit him was made by emergency room doctors following one of his many attacks, outbursts — this one involving his use of a weapon. Fast forward to the present day, following Jon’s removal of Collin from treatment, my son’s unpredictable and violent behaviors have sadly continued regularly toward Jon, Hannah and others around him.”

Kate continued to allege that Collin has exhibited violence to those around him but isn’t able to face the truth, as she wrote, “Collin’s distorted perception of reality is one of the many issues that he has always struggled with.”

After noting that it isn’t “easy” for those “on the outside” of the Gosselin family to understand her choices, Kate concluded that Collin’s placement in a psychiatric facility was from the “explicit recommendation of his pediatric psychiatrist and/or his team of specialists.”

“Unfortunately, I believe Collin remains a very troubled young man who continues to need a lot of help,” Kate added. “His brothers and sisters and I have not been directly involved in his life due to his history of unpredictable behavior and violent tendencies toward us. What his sister Mady [Gosselin] posted on social media recently is completely accurate and I deeply appreciate her bravery in doing so.”

Mady’s statement that Kate was referring to was a note that Mady, 22, posted via her Instagram Stories two days before her mother addressed the situation. In her note, Mady alleged that Collin “has physically threatened [her] and every member of [her] immediate family (some incidents as recent as last year).”

In his tell-all, Collin rehashed his experience at Philadelphia’s Fairmount Behavioral Health System. While recalling how the location took a toll on him, Collin accused Kate of putting him into the facility because he was telling others in the public that she was “abusive” toward him.

“I was starting to tell my teachers that, you know, my mother was … can I use the word abusive or are they not allowed to use that on air?” Collin alleged. “I was starting to tell people what was going on at home and, you know, she caught wind of that and had to put me somewhere where I wouldn’t be able to get the secrets out.”

Jon is also hitting back. He notes that Mady hasn't seen Collin since he was in the 6th grade and makes these pronouncements about him. She also posted a nasty comment about Jon years back saying she'll never have a relationship with him. I mean, these passive aggressive comments that run in riddles seem to be her calling card.

And here's the fun part. Kate went to Hannah and Collin's graduation but couldn't even talk to him because there's a restraining order against her. I don't know how that came about but that was the first time she'd seen him in person since he was put into the nut house. She hugged Hannah and took photos with her but obviously not Collin. There was another twin there with Kate, I think Alexis.
