Collin Gosselin's Rage on Special Forces
30 Oct
Summary
- Collin Gosselin competed on Special Forces expressing anger toward his mother.
- His memoir details allegations of childhood confinement and neglect by his mother.
- Kate Gosselin denies claims, citing Collin's alleged violent behavior for psychiatric care.
Collin Gosselin experienced intense anger during a recent episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. He shared in a confessional that his participation in the challenging competition stems from his mother, Kate Gosselin, having taken away significant parts of his life, including his childhood and freedom, fueling his rage.
This emotional turmoil coincides with the release of Collin's memoir, "In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood." In the book, he makes serious allegations against his mother, Kate, claiming she confined him to a basement room for two years and visited him only once after he was sent to a behavioral institution at age 11. Kate Gosselin, who shares Collin and seven other children with ex-husband Jon Gosselin, has refuted some of these claims on social media. She asserts that Collin's "violent behavior" led to his commitment to a psychiatric facility for his and others' safety.
A representative for Collin has called Kate's counter-accusations "disturbing" and "categorically false," stating that Collin has never harmed anyone or any animal. They emphasized his courage in sharing his story and his refusal to be intimidated. New episodes of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
