Collin Gosselin’s Shocking Abuse Allegations Against Kate

Collin Gosselin is going there. The reality TV star is claiming his mom Kate Gosselin allegedly hit him—and that she even prayed to stop doing it. Yeah, you read that right.

In his upcoming memoir In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, Collin is opening up about what he describes as physical abuse he endured growing up on Jon & Kate Plus 8. According to the bombshell allegations, Kate allegedly would hit him, and then pray asking God to help her stop the behavior. Talk about messy family drama.

This isn’t Collin’s first time calling out his famous mom. He’s been vocal about his childhood experiences over the past few years, but this memoir is set to be his most detailed account yet. The book promises to give readers an inside look at what it was really like growing up in the Gosselin household—and clearly, it wasn’t all sunshine and eight kids.

Kate has not publicly responded to these allegations at this time. But given how explosive these claims are, we’re guessing a statement could be coming soon. Either way, this memoir is about to be the talk of the town.
