Kate Gosselin Blasts 'Bitter Haters' Amid Son's Memoir

Kate Gosselin has publicly addressed the controversy surrounding her estranged son Collin's recently released memoir. Gosselin, 51, commented on social media, calling her critics "bitter haters" and stating she is happy regardless of their opinions. She expressed frustration at being perceived as "guilty" whether silent or speaking out.

Collin Gosselin, 22, published "In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood," detailing alleged abuse during his upbringing on "Jon & Kate Plus 8." The memoir includes accounts of a basement room and a behavioral institution. Gosselin's attorney stated she acted to protect herself and her family from "troubled behavior."

Representatives for both Gosselin and her son have issued statements. Collin's representative called Kate's claims "categorically false" and "beyond reprehensible," while asserting Collin has never harmed a family member or animal. They stated Kate's accusations aim to protect her reputation.
