In an interview with The US Sun, reality star Collin Gosselin revealed that his mother, Kate Gosselin, “tied him up” when he was between seven and eight years old and locked him in a basement, where he spent hours and sometimes days alone as punishment.

“It was difficult. I definitely went through a lot as a child because of my mother. It was hard,” Collin shared. He mentioned that he was monitored by cameras during his confinement. “It was like a containment room, literally,” he said.

Collin also mentioned that he was admitted to a mental health facility at age 11 after being diagnosed with psychiatric conditions.

He revealed that he was always treated differently compared to his siblings. “I was isolated and separated from them, and I didn’t have dinner with my family,” he confessed.

Collin’s father, Jon Gosselin, supported his son in his accusations. The incidents reportedly occurred after Jon and Kate’s divorce. The former couple faced a 14-year legal battle over custody of their seven children. Today, Jon has custody of the sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, Leah, and Joel, as well as the twins Mady and Cara.
