Collin Gosselin is making very serious claims against his parents. Former TLC reality TV stars Kate Gosselin and Jon Gosselin’s 20-year-old son told the US Sun that his mom “zip-tied” and locked him in a basement when he was a child. “My mother had a room built in our unfinished section of the storage basement,” he said. “She had a room put up with cameras in it, a tiny window in the corner and it was bolt-locked from the outside.” Collin called ti a “containment room,” claiming, “It had a mattress on the floor, and that was how I lived. When my mother would put me in that room multiple times, she had zip-tied my hands and feet together and bolt-locked the door, turned the lights off and had cameras there just watching me.” Keep reading to find out more… Jon also spoke to the outlet, claiming he did not know about his ex-wife’s alleged behavior until he obtained custody of their daughter Hannah. Jon also shares twins Madelyn and Cara, 23, and sextuplets Leah, Aaden, Joel and Alexis, 20, with Kate. He obtained custody of Collin in 2018 after he was institutionalized by Kate. The couple was married from 1999 to 2009. “The room in the basement where she kept Collin is still there,” Jon said. “My friends’s in-laws bought our house, and one time they asked me ‘Why is there a room in the basement with a bed and a lock on the outside?’” Kate’s attorney, Richard Puleo, denied she “intentionally” harmed Collin, telling the US Sun that she “did what she did to protect herself and her family” from her son’s “troubled behavior.” She previously called him a “very trouble young man” with a “history of unpredictable behavior and violent tendencies.” She told People in a statement that “[He] has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years. … Collin’s distorted perception of reality is one of the many issues that he has always struggled with.” Sister Madelyn similarly accused Collin of “physical violence and hate speech” at the time, which he denied.
