Collin Gosselin Biography

Collin Gosselin gained public attention as one of the sextuplets featured on TLC's reality series "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which documented the lives of Jon and Kate Gosselin as they raised their family, including twins Madelyn and Cara, and sextuplets Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel, and Leah. The show, later known as "Kate Plus 8," chronicled the family's daily life in Pennsylvania and offered viewers a look into the dynamics of a large household.

As he matured, Gosselin began to share his perspective on life behind the cameras. He publicly discussed his experiences on Vice TV's "Dark Side of the 2000s," alleging that his mother sent him to a mental health institution to prevent him from speaking out about her behavior. Gosselin later disclosed that he was discharged from the United States Marine Corps after his prior institutionalization was discovered, which impacted his intended career path. Following his discharge, he founded Gosselin Pressure Washing LLC and pursued a college degree, focusing on rebuilding his life and career.

Gosselin authored the memoir "In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood," which addresses his experiences with child abuse, institutional abuse, and the challenges of growing up in the public eye. In the book, he details alleged physical restraint, confinement, and the administration of antipsychotic medications during his childhood, offering insight into the darker aspects of reality television and child welfare. Gosselin also recounts undergoing an independent psychological assessment, which he states did not result in a mental health diagnosis.

"In the Shadow of Eight" achieved top rankings in Child Abuse, Television Performer Biographies, and Memoirs on Amazon. Gosselin has established himself as an author and advocate, focusing on raising awareness about child abuse, institutional abuse, and the exploitation of children. He continues to use his platform to address issues related to child welfare, reality television, and the protection of vulnerable children.
