Jon Gosselin Defends Son Collin Against Ex-Wife Kate's 'Cruel False Accusations
In a recent turn of events, Jon Gosselin, former reality TV star, has come forward to defend his son Collin against allegations made by his ex-wife, Kate Gosselin. Jon's representative issued a statement on July 21, responding to Kate's claims about Collin's behavior.
Kate Gosselin had previously alleged that Collin was "violent," which she claimed led to their estranged relationship and Jon receiving full custody of the sextuplet. However, Jon's representative has refuted these claims, stating, "Kate posting cruel false accusations regarding Collin seems to be just another way for her to justify her inexcusable horrific past behavior toward him."
The representative further emphasized that "true love for a child wouldn't include a mother attacking their son to the public." They pointed out that Collin had recently passed a background and mental evaluation to join the US Marine Corps, suggesting that the government's diagnosis contradicts Kate's allegations.
The representative also highlighted that a judge had awarded Jon sole legal and physical custody of Collin, indicating that Kate has not seen her son since the sixth grade due to her "abusive behavior" towards him. They concluded by stating that Collin is currently training to be a marine and is unable to respond to his mother's allegations.
Kate Gosselin had earlier spoken to People about her perspective on her relationship with Collin. She claimed that Collin had received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years and was placed in a facility following an incident involving a weapon. She also alleged that Collin's "unpredictable and violent behavior" continued after he moved in with Jon.
However, Jon's representative has countered these claims, suggesting that Kate's allegations are part of a pattern of unjustifiable behavior towards Collin. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this family dispute will be resolved.
