Kate Gosselin under fire: 'Mommie Dearest' allegations, family feuds, rebuilt life
Fox News
After new allegations from her son, Collin, Kate Gosselin has been under fire from her family and the media.
"I have never wanted to have to do this, but I feel I have been backed into a corner and left with no choice. Although it saddens me to do so, I need to speak out now," she said in a rare public statement to People magazine last week.
"My son Collin, whom I love with all my heart, has received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years. For the safety of myself, his brothers and sisters and for his own well-being, he was placed in a facility following years of outpatient treatment which proved insufficient for his needs. The decision to admit him was made by emergency room doctors following one of his many attacks/outbursts – this one involving his use of a weapon," she continued.
