Collin has alleged years of abuse from their mother, Kate Gosselin, in the book, “In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood.” At one point he and Hannah both opted to live with their dad, Jon Gosselin.
Hannah’s living with Collin and Jon for a time led many to believe she had taken sides in the estrangement between Collin and Kate, but now the 22-year-old is speaking out for herself.
“I’ve decided to take a step back from the situation going on considering I haven’t lived with my dad in over a year and haven’t spoke [sic] to Collin in close to a year,” she said in a story on TikTok. “Having said that, I have had a relationship with my mom and other siblings for quite a few years now.”
“That’s the only thing I’m clearing up,” she added. “Beyond this I will not be commenting on Collin’s behavior growing up or my experiences growing up with him.”

Hannah will have the opportunity to speak more in the upcoming documentary from Netflix.
The streamer announced the project on Oct 21., stating in a press release, “For nearly a decade, a family’s chaos and love played out on TV as comfort viewing. Years later, conflicting accounts have emerged from within the family itself — competing memories of the same childhood, the same home, the same spotlight. The new documentary takes a closer look, piecing together the story from every angle: the children who grew up on camera, the adults who built a brand around them, and the audience that couldn’t look away. It’s an intimate look at how real life became a phenomenon the world thought it knew.”
So far, the only participants listed for the doc are Hannah, Collin, and Jon. Kate and the other Gosselin siblings, Alexis, Aaden, Joel, Leah, and twins Cara and Maddy, do not appear to be participating.

Kate did address Collin’s claims in a roundabout way on TikTok earlier this month, replying to a comment supporting her saying, “Thank you so much. I know rational logical ppl or anyone who has dealt with mental illness understands what’s going on here :).”
