- Collin Gosselin said his mom Kate and six of his siblings didn't contact him after a near-fatal car crash.
- Collin said Kate "drove a social barrier" between him and some of his siblings.

Former TLC star Collin Gosselin revealed that neither his mom Kate Gosselin nor six of his siblings reached out to him after he was in a near-fatal car crash in 2022, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
In a new interview for Vice TV's "Dark Side Of The 2000s," the 19-year-old said Kate is "very controlling" and "determined" to get "what she wants."
Kate sent Collin to Fairmount Behavioral Health Institute in Philadelphia around 2016 to address what she described as her son's "special needs" at the time, according to multiple reports, including the Daily Mail.
In the Vice TV interview, Collin admitted he wasn't a "perfect child" but said, "my misbehaving was no different than my siblings."
His father Jon Gosselin has since said his son has been diagnosed with ADHD.

In a 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Collin recalled writing a note to his father begging him to help him get out of the facility so he could have a "second chance."
Jon was given temporary full custody of his son in 2018 when Kate reportedly didn't show up to a hearing, per Fox News. Collin's sister Hannah, who is also one of the Gosselin sextuplets, also lives with Jon.
In 2022, Collin revealed to Entertainment Tonight reporter Kevin Frazier that he wasn't in touch with his mother or any of his siblings but he hoped to be in the future.
He confirmed on Vice TV that none of the relatives he's estranged from reached out to him "at all" after his near-fatal car crash in 2022, something he appeared to think his mom was responsible for.

"I think my mom kind of drove a social barrier between us," he said, noting that she probably told some of his siblings his story from her perspective and he has a different opinion about his journey.
A representative for Kate Gosselin didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The Gosselin family rose to fame around 2007 thanks to their TLC reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which became "Kate Plus 8" when Kate and Jon divorced in 2009.
The series followed Kate, her set of sextuplets, and her set of twins around on adventures, but Collin told Entertainment Tonight that he thinks the show contributed to tearing his family apart.
