Summary
Kate Gosselin, 51, used TikTok comments to deny son Collin Gosselin’s abuse allegations, saying she would sue for defamation if public-figure rules did not make such cases harder to win.
Collin, 22, answered on Instagram by repeating his claims, alleging his mother hit him and citing a diary entry he says showed she prayed to stop hitting him when he was 2.
The clash comes as Collin prepares to publish “In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood” in October, framing the book as his chance to tell what cameras never showed.
Collin has publicly accused Kate since 2022, saying she isolated him from his siblings and sent him at 12 to a Philadelphia behavioral facility to silence him; Kate has said he needed treatment for a behavioral disorder.
