Collin Gosselin claims his mom Kate Gosselin wrote about praying to stop hitting him

Collin Gosselin has shared a striking allegation against his estranged mother, Kate Gosselin, just before releasing his tell-all memoir. In a recent social media post, the 22-year-old claimed his mother once wrote in her diary that she prayed to God to stop hitting him when he was only two years old. Collin emphasized that bringing these past experiences into the light is the primary reason he is using his voice.

His upcoming book, In the Shadows of 8: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, promises to detail his life growing up under the reality television spotlight. Meanwhile, Kate Gosselin recently noted online that her public figure status prevents her from pursuing a defamation lawsuit. She has previously denied abuse allegations, claiming Collin struggles with a distorted perception of reality and troubled mental health, which Collin maintains was actually worsened by his past institutionalization.
