Collin Gosselin is revealing a disturbing account of his childhood, alleging that a teacher noticed his swollen, purple ear after his mother, Kate Gosselin, dragged him by it.
The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star, 22, detailed the alleged incident in a new interview with Page Six on October 13, as he promotes his memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood.
According to Collin, the incident took place when he was in fourth grade. He alleged that his mother would grab his ear when she was angry and sometimes pull him across a room.
“She used to pull me and drag me across the room by my ear, which is when I went to school that one day with a swollen ear,” Collin told Page Six.
He also described the experience during an appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast. Collin recalled that a teacher noticed his injury and asked him about it before a guidance counselor became involved.
“I went to school one day after she had dragged me by my ear, and my ear was swollen and it was purple,” he said.
Collin alleged that he was eventually pulled out of school after seeking help from adults. He said he was homeschooled afterward and described the period as one of the most difficult experiences of his childhood.
The allegations are part of a broader account of his upbringing in the family featured on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8. The series followed Kate and her then-husband, Jon Gosselin, as they raised their twins and sextuplets. Collin has claimed that the family’s public image did not reflect what he experienced behind the scenes.
In an interview with ABC News, Collin also alleged that he was isolated from his father after his parents’ divorce and was eventually placed in a behavioral health facility as a child. He has disputed his mother’s explanation for that decision.
Kate has previously rejected Collin’s characterization of their relationship. In a September 2024 statement reproduced in the Page Six report, she said Collin had received multiple psychiatric diagnoses and was admitted to a facility after years of outpatient treatment.
