Kate Gosselin Pushes Back on Collin’s Lie-Detector Request Ahead of Memoir
Kate Gosselin publicly rejected her son Collin’s plea for a lie-detector test, saying she can’t engage in such a test because she’s a public figure and defamation cases are handled differently; she also noted she would sue if possible and referenced consulting a high-profile LA attorney. The clash unfolds as Collin, now 22, promotes his tell-all memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, due for an October release, and has previously alleged abuse by Kate. Collin has lived with his father Jon since 2018 and remains estranged from most of his siblings. The exchange harkens back to a 2025 US Sun interview in which Collin first floated the lie-detector idea, fueling ongoing family drama.
