@entertainmenttonight: Collin Gosselin shares never-before-told details from his childhood with ET’s Kevin Frazier. In his memoir, ‘In the Shadow of Eight' (out Oct. 13), Collin describes his ‘jail cell’ bedroom, 24/7 surveillance and an alleged incident in which his mother, Kate Gosselin, yanked his ear ‘so hard it turned purple.’ In 2016, Collin claimed his mother sent him to a psychiatric facility, where he was heavily medicated for 22 months. Kate has not responded to ET’s request for comment regarding Collin's allegations. #collingosselin #kategosselin #jonandkateplus8 #specialforces#intheshadowofeight

I saw it. I never saw her as a super mom. I always thought she was controlling and cruel.

There was another family that did this to a foster kid on court TV and they had present time. It’s unfortunate that they can’t find no proof to this very sad that he had to go through all of this. I used to like Kate and used to follow her and now I don’t.

gobsmackersss :
it sounds like he was the scapegoat. siblings can each have the same mother but each grow up with a different mom. i watched that show as a kid + she was frequently emotionally abusive in front of the cameras, i have no doubt it was worse off-screen. i believe him. he’s right. he never deserved to be abused. i hope he can go on to live his life on his own terms

No pediatric psychiatrist would ever suggest putting your child in a back room in a basement with cameras or tell your child your dad doesn’t want to see you. That is all purely Kate.
