Collin Gosselin<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is ready to share his side of the story once and for all in a personal new read.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Us Weekly<\/i> can exclusively reveal the cover of his new book, titled In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cMy life was always broadcast to millions, but what was actually happening in my life was never shown \u2014 in fact, much of it was deliberately kept hidden,\u201d Gosselin, 21, exclusively shares with Us<\/i>. \u201cFor years, other people told my story through headlines, television episodes and public speculation.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s about to change as the former Jon & Kate Plus 8<\/i> star has the opportunity to share his story in his own words.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tCollin Gosselin issued an emotional message about his fractured relationship with his siblings amid his family\u2019s estrangement. Kate and Jon Gosselin\u2018s son Collin, 21, recently took to TikTok with a message for his seven siblings. He shared a photo of himself and his brothers and sisters as kids \u2014 with twins Mady and Cara, now [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cNow, finally, I\u2019m sharing what was really happening behind the scenes,\u201d he teases. \u201cThis book is about truth, survival, resilience and finding my voice after years of being silenced. If my story helps even one person feel less alone or gives them the courage to tell their own, then every difficult page was worth writing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collin appeared alongside his seven siblings and parents, Jon Gosselin<\/strong> and Kate Gosselin<\/strong>, on TLC\u2019s Jon & Kate Plus 8<\/i> for much of his toddlerhood through adolescence.<\/p>\n

Even when his parents divorced in 2009, Collin remained on TV thanks to Kate Plus 8<\/i>.<\/p>\n

He later moved in with his father full time and began speaking out about the alleged abuse he experienced from his mother. (Kate\u2019s lawyer shared in a 2024 interview with Fox News <\/span><\/a>that she would not be responding to the allegations.)<\/p>\n

In the Shadow of Eight<\/i>, which is available for preorder online<\/span><\/a> now, Collin is expected to share his truth about growing up in the spotlight and reveal new details about his life once cameras stopped rolling. (Currently, he is estranged from his mom and many of his siblings who remain close to Kate.)<\/p>\n

\u201cCollin is finally sharing the truth about being held down, the basement cell where he was hidden for years and the cocktail of powerful antipsychotics forced on an 11-year-old boy,\u201d the publisher teases in the book\u2019s description. \u201cThis is a reckoning with the dark side of fame: the systems, the entourage, and the institutions that allowed one boy to be erased.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since stepping away from reality TV, Collin has tried to keep his life off social media and away from the public eye.<\/p>\n
