Collin Gosselin accused his estranged mom, Kate, of using money and family to manipulate his sister Hannah amid their ongoing family feud.
During Thursday’s episode of “The View,” Collin responded to his sister’s claims that she hasn’t lived with her dad, Jon, and hasn’t spoken to Collin in almost a year — but does have a relationship with her mom and other siblings, per People.
“Families are complicated. I’ve seen Hannah many times in the past year. Me, myself, my father at my house. I have pictures if you want to see them,” he said when asked about his sister’s allegations.
“All family are very complicated, and that statement sounded like a lot of the words of my mother, especially the last part.
“What I do believe has happened is that Hannah’s caught in the middle, and nobody deserves that, I know what it feels like, you have to fight to have a relationship with your siblings. I don’t have one with my siblings, and I know how much that hurts,” he continued.
“Not only is she caught in the middle, but I do believe my mom is either leveraging finances or Hannah’s relationship with our siblings over Hannah,” he said.
Collin shared that throughout his entire childhood, he fought for the same approval from his mom.
“Even to this day, I see her, and I’m like, ‘Why do I feel bad for my mom?’ I shouldn’t feel bad for somebody who has done these things, but it’s called having a heart,” Collin told “The View” co-hosts.
He explained that he believes his sister is trying to do “pre-damage control” before their upcoming Netflix documentary about the family, much of which has already been filmed, according to Collin.
“Hannah opened up about a lot of truths, not only to things that my mom did to me, and corroborated those things, but she opened up about things that she experienced at the hands of my mother,” Collin alleged.
“So now, I believe that she is trying to do pre-damage control, unfortunately, because my mom has placed that guilt on her. It’s not Hannah’s fault, she should be able to have a relationship with her father, with her mother, with all of her siblings, everybody should have that,” he said.
“It’s not her fault, but I do put the blame on my mother, because she’s leveraging that over Hannah,” Collin claimed.
Page Six reached out to Kate’s rep for comment, but didn’t hear back at the time of publication.
However, she’s previously denied all of Collin’s claimsin his new memoir, “In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood,” in which he accuses her of abuse.
On Oct. 13, Kate also responded to a TikTok comment that called Collin’s book “terrible lies,” saying, “Rational logical [people] or anyone who has dealt with mental illness understands what’s going on here.”
She also “liked” a comment alleging that Collin would “regret all of this someday,” and that he was “encouraged and enabled by other dysfunctional and mentally ill people.”
“Exactly! I had nothing to do with it, except for consent because it was medically necessary,” the TV personality wrote in response.
Collin’s book also shed light on his experience living in the mental institution that his mother put him in in 2016.
Kate previously defended her decision to institutionalize her son in 2023, claiming that she did so “following years of outpatient treatment which proved insufficient for his needs” and “for the safety of myself, his brothers and sisters, and for his own well-being.”
He also claimed Kate kept him locked up in a “small holding cell” for two years, and the TLC camera crew for their show, “Kate Plus 8,” and her fellow siblings were prohibited from seeing him.
Kate has also denied those allegations.
When Kate and Jon split, he lost custody of the children. However, he filed for full custody of Collin two years after he was institutionalized, and won. He also gained custody of Hannah.
The rest of his sextuplet siblings — Alexis, Joel, Leah and Aaden — and his older twin sisters — Mady and Cara — stayed with Kate.
