Collin Gosselin slams mom Kate for mental health claims, says ‘maybe it’s time’ she get psychiatric evaluation

October 16, 2026 - 21:49

The public dispute between Collin Gosselin and his mother, Kate Gosselin, continues to intensify. The conflict has drawn significant attention following the release of Collin's memoir, "In the Shadow of Eight," on Oct. 13. In the book, he accuses his mother of abuse, a claim that has sparked a heated back-and-forth between the two.

Recently, Kate Gosselin made public statements regarding her son's mental health. Collin has now fired back at these claims. He stated that his mother's comments are not only hurtful but also deflect from the core issues he has raised. In a direct response, he suggested that perhaps it is time for Kate to undergo a psychiatric evaluation herself.

This latest exchange marks another chapter in their long and difficult relationship. Collin's memoir details his experiences growing up in the spotlight and the personal struggles he faced within the family dynamic. He has been vocal about seeking accountability and addressing past traumas. Kate has previously denied any wrongdoing and has portrayed her actions as necessary for his well-being. The ongoing feud highlights the deep fractures within the family that have persisted since their reality television days. Neither party has indicated a willingness to reconcile, and the public nature of their conflict suggests the estrangement will continue.
