The gist
Hannah Gosselin, one of Jon and Kate Gosselin's sextuplets, said she hasn't lived with her dad in over a year.
Her TikTok statement, a day after a Netflix doc was announced, drew a public reply from Collin.
Background
Hannah Gosselin is one of the sextuplets of Jon and Kate Gosselin, whose family starred in the TLC reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8. Her brother Collin Gosselin released a memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, in October 2026, in which he alleges years of abuse from their mother Kate Gosselin. The day before Hannah's post, Netflix announced an untitled documentary featuring interviews with Jon, Collin and Hannah about the show and the decade after. Hannah had at one point lived with her dad and Collin, which many took as her taking sides in the family estrangement.
