Collin Gosselin Alleges Disturbing Abuse By Reality TV Mom Kate Gosselin In New Interview

Collin Gosselin, one of the eight children of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” stars Jon and Kate Gosselin, has come forward with new abuse allegations against his mother.

In a U.S. Sun interview published Monday, Collin Gosselin alleged that when he was younger, his mom “zip-tied” his hands and feet together and kept him isolated from his siblings in a “containment room” that was monitored by cameras in the basement of the family home.

“My mother had a room built in our unfinished section of the storage basement,” Collin Gosselin, now 20, told the outlet. “She had a room put up with cameras in it, a tiny window in the corner and it was bolt-locked from the outside.”

Though Collin Gosselin didn’t specify when the alleged abuse started, he claimed that the treatment he received became more extreme when he was about 8 or 9 years old. He said he would often spend “most of the day” in the containment room and was eventually “taken out of school” when he began reporting the abuse to his teachers.

“My mother at many, many times, and most of the time became physically aggressive, verbally, very abusive with the things she would say,” he said. “And obviously that carries over to the emotional side of things where a young child doesn’t know any better, so it was a very, very emotionally abusive relationship.”

Collin Gosselin’s allegations were corroborated by Jon Gosselin, who said the abuse began after he and Kate Gosselin split in 2009 following 10 years of marriage.

“I never found out about her [Kate] singling out Collin, and the basement and the zip ties, until way afterwards,” Jon Gosselin told The U.S. Sun. “That kind of thing didn’t happen until after I left.”

So far, Kate Gosselin hasn’t responded publicly to Collin Gosselin’s new
