Colin Gosselin brutally blurred out his mother Kate Gosselin’s face in a sharp message on social media ahead of the publication of his long-awaited memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood.
The 22-year-old reshared The Post’s social media content about the book on his Instagram Story on Saturday, with the headline: “Kate Gosselin ‘soaring’ ahead of estranged son Colin’s shocking memoir: ‘She knows this book is about to shock fans.'”
The post included a photo of Kate, but Colin blurred it out and added a comment from a fan: “What is done in the dark always comes to light.”
Colin also paired the post with “Day One,” a 2014 song composed by Han Zimmer for Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi film “Interstellar.”
A representative for Kate, 51, did not immediately respond to Page Six for comment.
Colin’s latest message comes after the Daily Mail reported that his famous mother, who lost sole custody of him in 2018, “had no idea” that Colin was planning to publish a tell-all book about his childhood this year.
A source told the show that the reality star has not spoken to her son with ex-husband Jon Gosselin since he was institutionalized as a child.
“She never expected something like this to become public. Now she knows it will be a blow to her fans, so she’s in a spiral,” the source shared, explaining that Kate claimed Colin’s accusations were false, even though she said she had “evidence to support everything.”
The source claimed that Colin’s sextuplets Arden, Joel, Alexis, Hannah and Leah, as well as his twin sisters Carla and Madeline, 25, would be shocked as they “know the truth about what happened to him”.
Earlier this month, Colin revealed the cover of his memoir, which shows Kate covering her mouth as a child.
In the book, the author steps into “the previously untold story of how[Colin]escaped from the darkness and found his way back,” the publisher said in a statement.
“This is a reckoning with the dark side of fame: the system, the entourage, the institution that allowed one boy to be erased.”
The memoir lifted the veil on “the shocking side of a picture-perfect family” and told readers about Colin’s “bondage, years of hiding in a basement, and being forced to administer a cocktail of powerful antipsychotics to an 11-year-old boy.”
Colin became famous along with his parents and siblings on the reality series ‘John & Kate Plus 8’. The show aired from 2007 until it was canceled in 2017.
John and Kate, 49, married in 1999 but separated in 2009. John gained sole custody of Colin in 2018.
Colin has accused Kate of “child abuse and child exploitation” for years, which she denies.
However, in 2023, his sister Madeline accused Colin of “physical violence and hate speech” in an interview on Vice TV’s “The Dark Side of the 2000s.”
Colin’s memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, will be published on October 13th.
