Gosselin cites public-figure rules to dodge defamation suit as Collin preps memoir
Kate Gosselin says she cannot sue her son Collin for defamation because, as a public figure, the rules differ, even as Collin promotes his forthcoming memoir about their troubled upbringing. Collin has alleged abuse and a past estrangement, detailing how their reality-TV family life affected them, while Gosselin denies the accusations and says malice is hard to prove. The feud includes social-media exchanges and a history of custody arrangements, with Collin scheduled to publish In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood in October.
