In 2018, Jon Gosselin obtained custody of Collin and Hannah Gosselin. Hannah told Entertainment Tonight in 2022 that she chose to live with Jon because of “unfair treatment in my mom’s house” and noted that she did not want to live away from her siblings but that it had to be done. Collin and Hannah delved deeper into this topic In “Dark Side of The 2000s”. People reported that Hannah said Kate Gosselin treated Collin differently than the other children. According to Us Weekly, when Collin began speaking out at age 12 about what he referred to as abuse, Kate institutionalized him.
He also noted that he feels his mother damaged the relationship with his other siblings, saying, “I think my mom kind of drove a social barrier between us” (via Page Six). Before adding, “She told them the story one way, and, obviously, I see the story a different way.” Despite this estrangement, Collin has expressed his desire to have a relationship with his siblings.
Kate released a statement shortly after the release of “Dark Side of The 2000s,” explaining that she institutionalized Collin because he is mentally ill. She said, “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.” As a result, Jon defended Collin against Kate, calling her statement untrue and further abusive.
