Collin Gosselin is speaking out about his mother’s alleged affair with her former bodyguard.
On Wednesday, September 24, Collin shared his thoughts via Instagram Stories, writing, “What really upsets me is that my mom [Kate Gosselin] had an affair with our bodyguard way back in 2009, and for years would share hotel rooms with him while we went on family vacations, while I was in a connected room!”
The 21-year-old lamented, “Now everyone thinks her being with him is some cute novel romance. By the way my dad received death threats and got shunned by the public for years for ‘having an affair’ and ‘leaving his kids’.”
Collin, one of the sextuplets born to Kate and ex-husband Jon Gosselin, said of Kate, “I hope she doesn’t try to play this one off. Just come forward and be truthful.”
Earlier Wednesday, Jon, 48, posted a photo on Instagram of Kate, 50, and her ex-bodyguard, Steve Neild.
“Guess who really ruined the marriage,” he wrote. “Read for yourself.”
Jon also added a screenshot from a Wednesday Page Six article that reported Kate and Neild are dating. “Maybe when I speak people will listen now!!!” he captioned the post.
Us Weekly has reached out to Kate for comment.
Jon and Kate haven’t been on speaking terms for years. The exes tied the knot in 1999, welcoming twins Madelyn and Cara the following year. In 2004, they grew their family with six more children: Collin, Aaden, Hannah, Leah, Alexis and Joel. Three years later, the brood began starring in a TLC reality show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, which lasted five seasons.
Jon and Kate divorced in 2009. Us previously reported that Jon had allegedly been unfaithful during the marriage, prompting Kate to file for divorce. (Jon denied the allegations.)
“I’m not big on drama, and I’m very busy in college, at work, and running my business, so don’t think I feed on this,” Collin said Wednesday. “However, I feel very strongly on the matter of cheating and then blaming someone else for your own actions.”
Collin continued, “Everyone says my dad and I are hung up on my mom. We are not. We have suffered the damage of a narcissist and cried together. So no we won’t just go and make TikTok’s and act reformed when we still feel pain from our past.”
He said, “I love you dad,” and then seemed to aim his words directly at Kate, disputing her recent confession that she’s been dating someone for “a little over a year.”
“What about when we’d go on vacation and you made me sleep on the hotel cot while you and Steve were together?” Collin claimed. “Or when I’d be in a connected room while you shared one with him? What about when you were on Kate plus Date, but Steves [sic] home address was the same as yours?”
In conclusion, he wrote, “You’ve BEEN with him. You told me I broke our family when you couldn’t stay true to my dad. I’m not here to shame you. But you don’t understand the fact that dad and I have cried together from all the hurt. I’m done staying quiet.”
