Gosselin Memoir tease sparks birthday shade: Collin salutes Colleen as Kate feud brews
Collin Gosselin, 22, teased his forthcoming memoir In the Shadow of Eight and publicly saluted Colleen Conrad—Jon Gosselin’s ex-wife and Collin’s step-mother—on her birthday, calling her his “real mom.” Colleen responded that he is indeed her son. The memoir, due in October from Grand Central Publishing, is billed as a reckoning with fame and promises to reveal behind-the-scenes abuse and family turmoil, following Collin’s past accusations against Kate Gosselin, which she has denied; the saga unfolds against the backdrop of the Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame and a long-running family feud.
