Collin Gosselin Ties Memoir Success to Abuse Allegations Against Kate

Collin Gosselin says he will continue speaking publicly about alleged abuse by his mother, Kate Gosselin, and accused her of spreading lies to silence him in a social media post celebrating his memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood. He said the book had topped the New York Times bestseller list for a second consecutive week and credited supporters with helping him share his story. In the memoir, Collin alleges that Kate physically and emotionally abused him, with the treatment worsening when he resisted filming Jon & Kate Plus 8. Kate has denied the allegations; an attorney previously said she did not believe she had intentionally harmed her son.
