On a 2015 episode of Kate Plus 8-the Jon   Kate Plus 8 spinoff Kate Gosselin led following her 2009 divorce from Jon Gosselin-TLC viewers watched as twins Mady Gosselin and Cara Gosselin moved into their own rooms in Kate's 7,500-square-foot estate, while their younger sisters Leah Gosselin, Alexis Gosselin and Hannah Gosselin inhabited a shared upstairs room and brothers Collin Gosselin, Joel Gosselin and Aaden Gosselin made over a basement space.

 It was like a slumber party every night,  Collin recounts of that first week in his memoir Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood.  Then, one day, I was told by my mom I'd be moving out. An air mattress appeared in the unfinished part of the basement, shoved into the far back corner like an afterthought. 

Coming on the heels of him being cut out of weekend visits with his dad (he was told Jon didn't want to see him; Jon was told the opposite) and frequently isolated (he recalls one night where he was sent to bed while his siblings watched TV with Kate), having to live next to their deep freezers felt particularly cold.

 I was part of a plan,  he notes of the punishments, he attributed to his unwillingness to play ball on camera  I just didn't know what it was. 

E! News reached out to reps for Kate and TLC about the accusations in Collin's book and has not heard back. However, this past June, Kate referred to her son's accusations as  ridiculous  in the comment section of her TikTok page.
