Kate Gosselin has addressed allegations made by her son Collin Gosselin regarding visits during his childhood stay at a residential treatment facility. In a recent statement, Kate denied claims that she abandoned Collin, stating that she visited him "every single time" she was permitted to.

This response comes after the October 13 release of Collin's memoir, In the Shadow of Eight, where he details several experiences from his childhood following his parents' separation. Jon & Kate Plus 8, the reality television series documenting their lives, began in 2007 and continued as Kate Plus 8 after their divorce. In 2016, Kate enrolled Collin in a residential treatment facility due to concerns over his "unpredictable and violent behavior," according to People magazine. He later moved to live with his father, Jon, who received custody of him.

Collin claimed in his memoir that Kate visited him only once while he was in treatment. He also alleged that she told him he had "broke" the family. However, Kate disputed these assertions in TikTok comments on October 25, saying that she always tried to visit Collin whenever possible. She explained that sometimes planned visits were canceled due to his unstable condition, requiring rescheduling.

In addition to her statements about visiting Collin, Kate suggested that his actions led to placement in psychiatric care for both his own protection and the well-being of those around him. This conflict arises as Netflix prepares a documentary about the Gosselin family. The production announcement through Tudum occurred on October 21, but no official title or release date have been disclosed yet. Mike Gasparro and Julia Willoughby Nason are set to produce this project, which could bring renewed attention to the family's history and competing accounts of what happened behind the scenes.
