On The View on October 22, Collin Gosselin pushed back on a distancing statement his sister Hannah posted the day before, saying parts of it read to him like their mother Kate’s words.
In her October 21 TikTok Story, Hannah, 22, said she hadn’t lived with their father Jon for over a year and hadn’t spoken to Collin in close to a year. She added that she’s had a relationship with Kate and her other siblings for years, and that she wouldn’t comment on Collin’s behavior or on growing up with him.
Collin says that doesn’t match what he’s seen. Over the past year, he said, he’s spent time with Hannah on many occasions, joined by Jon at their house, and he claims to have pictures.
“All families are very complicated and that statement sounded like a lot of the words of my mother, especially the last part,” he said. He believes Kate is “either leveraging finances or Hannah’s relationship with our siblings over Hannah,” and called the statement “pre-damage control.”
His theory ties back to a documentary. Netflix confirmed October 21 that production is underway on an untitled film interviewing Jon, Collin and Hannah, with no release date set. Collin said a large part of it is already shot, and that Hannah corroborated his account of Kate and described her own experiences on camera.
“What I do believe has happened is that Hannah’s caught in the middle and nobody deserves that,” he said, placing the blame on Kate rather than his sister.
Kate’s representative had not responded to the manipulation claim. The six Gosselin sextuplets, including Collin and Hannah, were born May 10, 2004, and are now 22.
