Kate Gosselin Rebuts Abuse Claims in Collin's Memoir as TikTok Posts Cite Mental Illness

Summary
Kate Gosselin responded indirectly on TikTok to abuse allegations in Collin Gosselin’s new memoir, thanking a supporter who called the claims “terrible lies.”
In her replies, Kate said “rational logical ppl” and those familiar with mental illness would understand the situation, framing the dispute around Collin’s mental health rather than addressing the allegations directly.
She also endorsed comments saying Collin would regret the book and wrote, “I had nothing to do with it, except for consent because it was medically necessary” — an apparent reference to past treatment decisions.
Collin’s memoir, “In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood,” alleges years of abuse by Kate and says he was falsely portrayed as mentally ill, deepening a family estrangement that includes several siblings.
