Hannah Gosselin alleges her mother, Kate, purposefully kept her brother Collin away from his siblings as they grew up.
“He would be separated from us,” the 19-year-old sextuplet stated of her sibling in an excerpt from Vice TV’s upcoming documentary “Dark Side of the 2000s.”
“Like, he wouldn’t be able to come outside and play with us,” she went on. “He would eat dinner at different times than us.”
Hannah and Collin, as well as fellow sextuplets Leah, Hannah, Alexis, Aaden, and Joel, and now-22-year-old twin sisters Mady and Cara, were presented to the world as newborns, appearing in many TV programs about their huge family led by parents Jon and Kate.
“He would not get to come and play outside with us,” Hannah stated in Vice TV’s docu-series “Dark Side of the 2000s.”
Hannah noted in the documentary that Collin would “eat dinner at different times” than his brothers.
He believed his mother projected her wrath and frustration over her divorce from ex-Jon onto him.
From 2007 to 2009, the family starred in the enormously successful TLC show “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” as well as the “Kate Plus 8” spin-off, which aired after the famous couple split.
Kate, now 48, was granted primary custody of her eight children in December 2009, despite the fact that she and Jon, now 46, were still fighting openly.
Collin, who was 12 years old at the time, was transferred to a behavioral institution by the “Dancing with the Stars” alum five years later to help with his “special needs.” The other children stayed in her Pennsylvania home.
The Gosselin family, which includes twins and sextuplets, starred in the TLC reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8” in the mid-2000s.
Collin was retrieved from the institution by Jon in 2018 after pleading with his father to “save” him.
Collin, 19, moved in with his father and sister Hannah, who had moved out of her mother’s home two years before.
Collin admitted in Vice’s documentary, which will be released on July 18, that he was not “a perfect child” as a child.
Kate and Jon split up in 2009. She was given custody of the couple’s eight children.
However, he claimed that his “misbehaving was no different from [his] siblings” and speculated that Kate took out her divorce anger on him.
“I know my mother was going through a lot of things,” Collin admitted. “I mean, a divorce and a lot of other things can’t be easy to go through.”
“And, you know, I’d like to think she needed someone to vent her rage and frustration on, and I was just being nice.” I was both in the way and present. So she chose me,” he explained.
Hannah also chastised Collin’s estranged mother for not teaching him any limits.
Collin was just 12 years old when Kate sent him to a mental institution.
“I don’t think there was any effort made at home to help him learn what behavior is acceptable and what behavior is not acceptable,” the teen said.
For many years, Collin has had no interaction with his mother.
In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” in November 2022, he stated that he was “doing very well” without Kate in his life and that he hadn’t spoken to his siblings, besides Hannah, in “five or six years.”
Collin moved in with his father and sister Hannah in 2018, after leaving Kate’s home two years before.
Kate allegedly snubbed Collin during her estranged children’s high school graduation last month.
“Kate did end up taking photos with Hannah, but she never spoke to Collin and never took photos with him,” a source told The Sun, adding that she “didn’t even clap” for the teenagers.
“[Her presence] was a bit of a surprise considering she has truly been missing from most of Collin’s adult life and barely sees Hannah,” the source stated.
