Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin’s Son Collin Reveals Surprising New Business Venture – E! Online

Collin recently gave more insight into what he went through all those years ago.

“I didn’t know what was going on, I didn’t know where I was going,” Collin shared with Entertainment Tonight last August. “I’ve told all my family this—that was the most scared I’ve probably ever been in my life. Up until then, I was home with my siblings, with my mom and she didn’t give me any information on where I was going, what was going on.”

And while Collin said he was confused at the time, he came to develop his own theories about Kate’s motivations.

“Our family was under a spotlight 24/7,” Collin continued. “My mother, especially following her divorce, there was this light cast on her as a single mother, taking care of eight children. And I believe strongly—I know strongly—the reason I was sent away was for my mother to protect her reputation.”

Kate previously refuted Collin’s claims about why he was sent away in a 2023 Instagram post, writing, “My son Collin, whom I love with all my heart, has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years. For the safety of myself, his brothers and sisters and for his own well-being, he was placed in a facility following years of outpatient treatment.”
