@jayshetty: EXCLUSIVE: @Collin Gosselin is sharing his story like never before on On Purpose 🎙️ Millions of people watched Colin grow up on Jon & Kate Plus 8. But what the cameras captured was only one version of his childhood. For the first time, Colin shares his account of what was happening behind the scenes—including childhood abuse, isolation, being institutionalized at 11 years old, and the years he spent trying to reclaim his life. We talk about growing up without privacy, feeling unable to ask for help, being separated from his siblings, rebuilding his relationship with his dad, and the lasting impact of having your most formative years turned into entertainment for millions of people. What stayed with me most was the purpose Colin has found through everything he's experienced. Rather than allowing his past to define his future, he's determined to use his story to advocate for children who may not have the ability or opportunity to speak for themselves. If you've ever felt unheard, struggled to heal from your childhood, had to rebuild trust after being hurt, or wondered how to turn the most painful parts of your story into something meaningful… I hope this conversation reminds you that your past doesn't have to decide who you become. 🎧 Video available on Netflix or Spotify by searching "On Purpose with Colin Gosselin" or listen wherever you get your podcasts // LINK IN BIO

I have waited 2 decades for one of these kids to actually get paid for their story, I am so glad it is Collin. I hope we buy enough books to buy him the soft life he deserved in childhood

I watched the show religiously and can confirm we never thought it was a happy family. But I can't imagine anyone knew the truth of what was going on

We all knew Kate was awful, but I really only thought it was only directed toward Jon, until all this stuff started coming out. It makes so much more sense now.

I watched their show as a teenager, even back then I thought something didn’t sit right with this family. The mom was rather bossy. Thankfully Collin was brave enough to leave the toxic mother and tell us stories from the perspective of the children who were subjected to intense scrutiny.

Tina Bergeron :
Do y'all remember the episode where literally kate and Jon i just sitting on the couch together talking with the interviewer, and she looks over at him and just lays into him about his breathing, and then mocks it as if he's breathing in some unusual manner??? it was very eye-opening and very bizarre. And right then? And there, I think most people could tell this, was not a kind or decent woman by far.
