Collin Gosselin, a former Jon & Kate Plus 8 cast member, writes in his memoir In the Shadow of Eight that Kate Gosselin restrained him with zip ties at age 11 after he tried to leave home. He says she pulled the ties tight on his wrists and ankles, then threw him down, and later left him bound in the basement for hours before cutting the ties with kitchen shears.
Kate has denied the allegations. Her lawyer previously told The Sun that there are two sides and suggested she acted to protect herself and family from his childhood behavior. In June, Kate called the accusations ridiculous in TikTok comments. E! News sought comment from Kate’s representative and Pennsylvania Children and Youth Services.
