I only feel bad for Cara. Maddie is so snobbish in this video she has always been just like her mom even when she was a little kid she was a rude little brat
Because they know she will send them away just like she did to collin because he had ADHD. She is trash. These girls probably got screamed at after they left. "YOU CANT FOLLOW A SCRIPT!? WEVE BEEN DOING THIS YOUR WHOLE LIFE! ARE YOU STUPID TOO?? DO I HAVE TO SEND YOU AWAY JUST LIKE I DID TO COLLIN?" I cant wait for them to write a book about her.
Im so interested to hear these girls real point of view when they get a bit older. I feel like they're scared to say certain things because of the backlash from kate.
I think something similar when I read the stories (or see the videos) of people screaming at and physically assaulting workers and bystanders at stores, restaurants, and other public locations. If they feel it’s fine to scream, threaten, curse, use slurs and other bad names, and engage in physical violence in public, what are they doing behind closed doors?
Maddie has always been Kate's #1 pet. I think she is naturally very keen and eager to please, so she always works hard for her mom's approval. Cara goes along to get along, but I hope college frees both of them from Kate's mental bondage!
I saw an interview where John said they had their twins and it worked out beautifully. Kate had one twin he had responsibility of the other. I'm guessing Maddie was hers.
This is soooo rough to get through!!! Coming from a troubled childhood, the truth is written all over those girls faces. I’m surprised the host called this out to be honest. Why was I not aware of this interview earlier..??
From what I have heard that Kate was furious at Maddy and Cara for not doing what she wanted them to do that she was screaming at top of her lungs and swearing at the Maddy and Cara as they were heading to their car.
I think she very very gently called it out by asking, "doing the article... etc. etc., is that the right thing for them?" When your mom is abusive, having other people around makes it better - more support. A stressed out life with only Kate could be really bad (totally just conjecturing, I obviously, don't know at all). Kate needed to pause and whisper to the kids (do you want to keep doing the interview or should we cancel it?) This wsa so silly because what she was saying about family decisions and not forcing the kids, was the complete opposite of what we were watching. At least how it appeared.
Wow, Maddy's carefully chosen words pretty much gave it away, didn't they! Clearly these girls were told their "script" & decided NOT to recite it! Saw it coming, Kate, saw it coming! The day will come when they view the old shows thru adult eyes...look out, Kate. Wouldn't wanna be ya. JMHO
Yeah, I feel like it's not fear because they are obstinate and are fearlessly pushing her buttons. It seems more like they're used to being obedient. They know how the Gosselin "machine" works. Watch out, though Kate... You can see here that they are practicing pushing your obsessively drawn boundaries 😬
I can't believe kate said "Maddie your words" like she's a toddler, if my mom did that to me I don't think I would be able to finish the interview at that age, without being super nervous & screwing the whole thing up. I would've been so humiliated.
Who was the interviewer? She totally went off script and asked the questions according to their reactions. Even addressing Kate when she tried to answer for them. Great job!
So Kate brought her daughters on the today show to have them tell the world that they’re okay and then when they didn’t want to speak (shady sign) Kate told everyone that the kids are okay....so shady. I know this was filmed years ago but I really do hope the kids are genuinely doing well. And poor Colin...
At about 12 seconds in, while they are rolling the old footage, you can hear Kate call Cara's name, then the camera comes to them and they are super awkward. It sounds like she was disciplining her or trying to get her ready or something. It was strange.
The kids have been through a lot growing up in the "spot light," especially, the two oldest. The reason why they couldn't say anything right away is because they're not happy.
Kate is sickening. The daughter had her head tilted away and kept eyeing like she was trying to say something about her mom without saying it. When she speaks, I think she’s implying the show has helped people see the truth about their mom.
Awkward interview but the host really opened badly with the question "Your here to set the record straight so what do you want to say?" That is a way too open ended question for young teens on live TV. They are obviously going to be nervous so you need to guide them by asking specific questions. So after they fumbled the first question they just got more shy and awkward.
I'm sure the show had rehearsed what they wanted to say prior to going on air. The fact is it's hard to talk when there's an overbearing entity (Kate) looming over you hoping you'll say exactly what was scripted behind the scenes.
Yeah, she could have started with the same question you would ask any teen about their life. Even something as boring as what are you doing in school? What's your favorite subject? What musical acts do you like?
3:54 was especially telling, when she just spoke and she was happy about it, then Kate jumped in and the smile was immediately gone and you can tell she was thinking "I was talking..." I also noticed Cara was looking at her the whole time when she spoke but when Kate started speaking, her eyes would wander off.
Damn been there. Knowing narcissists, they were probably lectured beforehand and told what to say. They probably got yelled at or punished narcissisticly as soon as they got home for being clearly anxious
The first thing that was said in that car was “way to go you two. Now you’ve made everything worse for me. Now people are going to think that something is wrong and I’m going to have to clean up yet another mess.” I guarantee it.
Boy, my parents would've been highly upset and mad as hayle had I behaved this way on national TV but seriously damn the body language.... the head tilt towards their mom and the clasped hands....that's a sign they feel defeated, unprotected, vulnerable, weakened, afraid and cowarded down. Ted Bundy's ex girlfriend, Elizabeth Kendall, had the same head tilt throughout her interview in "Falling For A Killer" documentary. Instead of getting into relationships and having children, I hope these girls get some long-term psychiatric treatment/therapy because this is troubling and sad.
Narcissistic abuse will do this to kids, and unfortunately, the damage done has the potential to last a lifetime. This interview shows just a fraction of the damage Kate has done... I'm sure these girls felt the wrath of Kate afterwards.
My interpretation of the entire thing is that Maddie's initial sigh was a clear moment of exasperation where she regretted being in the spotlight and getting dragged in front of the cameras with no private life anymore. That's also why she looked the way she looked at her mother when she snapped at her to answer the question. She regained her cool a bit later on, but it's very obvious that she had a moment of wanting to go back to being completely unknown.
I think one possible option what went on in front of the camera was that they want to rebel against her disciplinary dominating mother , and are more for their easy going laid back dad.
The girls are so uncomfortable and it’s clear the mother is in control of everything. The girl who did not speak is afraid of saying the wrong thing so she developed to not speak at all to avoid saying the wrong thing and make the mother upset. Also when maddie made the joke at the end you can see how the mother was forcing a laugh and touched her leg and took her hand back really fast. It all seems super unnatural and it tells you she does not give much love and affection to the girls. They should have looked more into them..
I feel so bad for Mady having to speak for her sister, Cara was so terrified she couldn’t speak. Both of these girls said so much by saying so little. Hopefully the truth will come out one day. I’ll believe every word every child has to say.
You can just see the control she is exerting over them at all times. She is visibly uncomfortable when she isn't in control. I think society sort of views controlling parents as "good parents" because the kids are in line and take direction. The problem is that it hinders the kids' abilities to make decisions and makes them incapable of doing things themselves. There has to be a happy medium.
The body language is not subtle. She legit is nodding and using her eyes to point at her mom as she says “it’s not done damage”. They are screaming help!! This is all lies. Maddie’s body language is as loud as a black eye. This should have prompted a DCFS investigation
Kate stop trying to be famous and take care of your damn kids how dare you bring your 13 year old shot children out there to get them to say something you wanted them to say how dare you!! as a mother you are supposed to protect your children all I can say u Kate is have mercy on your soul:(
They are so scared of the mother and that's why they can't answer for fear of being punished. It's shows how Kate is by snapping her fingers and saying what she did. Kate is very controlling. One thing I absolutely do not like what Kate does is down the children father in front of them.
Wow ! Clearly they are afraid to talk like they might say something that they where prepared to say wrong. Their silence says a lot about Kate and the network . Her first statement was about how being in the show has helped them ! Both girls choose to stay silent to send a message. Just wow
These girls seemed to be intimidated by saying the wrong thing and the aftermath of their moms possible wrath. That’s what I gathered. Especially her sort of coaching them to speak and say words…idk.
Kate's definitely keeping these two on a short leash. Indoctrinated enough to dislike their dad hence why it's really just these two that never see Jon. Mady's already getting the snobbiness in her like her mom.
Two things One: Vic Berger needs to get on this shit if he hasn't Two : The most heartfelt honest thing to ever come out of anything related to the TLC channel in 15 years
They aren't tongue tied they are afraid to speak the truth
Because their mother was sitting with them. If their mother wasn’t there, Mady and Cara would’ve spoke the truth
@@leahsincelejo7641 Makes no difference if their Mom was there, they'd probably be sent to an institution like Collin was.
The sick thing is Kate put Colin in a behavior hospital because he didn't want to comply with her demands. Kate belongs in prison for child abuse.
Yeah. And put him there without a diagnosis. Because he told her no! Wow!
You should see his interview he spoke on it abt a wk ago! A total opposite of this interview here… Jon did a good job raising him
@sing4mozart That is exactly what happened. And I agree with you.
you’re right. Colin came out with his truth today (i learned about this family today only), it’s horrible😔
"Maddie, your LINES! Page 3 of the script we've PRACTISED THIS!"
LOL so sad but true. Your comment made me laugh 😂
Exactly.
😅🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂
Not page 3 😂😭😭
"MADDIE! PICK IT UP!"
this never ceases to crack me up!! They said a ton without speaking.
Kate panicked so hard when Maddie didn't say anything, "Maddie, *snap snap* your words! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!" lol
👹“Tell them how great we’re doing, you little snot!”
Sorta the same things you said to the magazine! REMEMBER WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT? So obvious.
yep
Being raised by a narcissist, I feel for these girls. They are clearly terrified. I can’t imagine what they went through after this interview.
They were afraid to say the wrong thing. Or something Kate didn’t want the world to know.
Totally! I was raised by 2! And I was always afraid of saying the wrong things…
Once they get you away from their audience.
Exactly! I’m glad Savanna called her out but true to form the narc spinned the narrative to divert responsibility and blame others.
I only feel bad for Cara. Maddie is so snobbish in this video she has always been just like her mom even when she was a little kid she was a rude little brat
the hate in those kids eyes. LOL can't wait for the tell all book.
Those poor girls look terrified. I mean they look genuinely scared of her.
but what are they scared of? To talk about how their father still comes around to molest them?
A-Punk八 that’s never been said .... and he didn’t ...
Because they know she will send them away just like she did to collin because he had ADHD. She is trash. These girls probably got screamed at after they left. "YOU CANT FOLLOW A SCRIPT!? WEVE BEEN DOING THIS YOUR WHOLE LIFE! ARE YOU STUPID TOO?? DO I HAVE TO SEND YOU AWAY JUST LIKE I DID TO COLLIN?" I cant wait for them to write a book about her.
She's admitted to spanking them (hard) on the regular.
@@KaiserChiefsPocketbombs - exactly
Im so interested to hear these girls real point of view when they get a bit older. I feel like they're scared to say certain things because of the backlash from kate.
Mandy has tiktok and she says everything people think about her mom and joke life is totally wrong
Dang the look she gave her daughter when she wasn’t sure what to say is pure evil.
Totally, and it's interesting how Mady only felt comfortable speaking when she was facing away from Kate.
Omg if Kate is like this on camera, imagine what she’s like at home. The girls are terrified and were probably briefed by a lawyer beforehand
I think something similar when I read the stories (or see the videos) of people screaming at and physically assaulting workers and bystanders at stores, restaurants, and other public locations. If they feel it’s fine to scream, threaten, curse, use slurs and other bad names, and engage in physical violence in public, what are they doing behind closed doors?
Being raised by a Malignant Narcissist… these poor girls. They didn’t stick to Moms SCRIPT and it pissed her off!!
Maddie has always been Kate's #1 pet. I think she is naturally very keen and eager to please, so she always works hard for her mom's approval. Cara goes along to get along, but I hope college frees both of them from Kate's mental bondage!
Actually, Maddy can't stand her mother and dislike her mother.
I think Maddie just is very outspoken and bitchy like her mother... I don't think she is eager to please her
They get along. She is mini-Kate. Paid tribute to her on Mothers Day
I saw an interview where John said they had their twins and it worked out beautifully. Kate had one twin he had responsibility of the other. I'm guessing Maddie was hers.
This is soooo rough to get through!!! Coming from a troubled childhood, the truth is written all over those girls faces. I’m surprised the host called this out to be honest. Why was I not aware of this interview earlier..??
From what I have heard that Kate was furious at Maddy and Cara for not doing what she wanted them to do that she was screaming at top of her lungs and swearing at the Maddy and Cara as they were heading to their car.

When your mom is abusive, having other people around makes it better - more support.

At least how it appeared.
It turned out Maddy and Cara didn't want to do the interview on Today show.
Kate is a drill sergeant and even though Mady talks a lot on Kate plus 8 and is very disrespectful she seems very scared to talk
Wow, Maddy's carefully chosen words pretty much gave it away, didn't they! Clearly these girls were told their "script" & decided NOT to recite it! Saw it coming, Kate, saw it coming! The day will come when they view the old shows thru adult eyes...look out, Kate. Wouldn't wanna be ya. JMHO
I could hardly watch this show when they WERE married. Kate is a trip I wouldn't want to take! Agree Agree Agree
Kate Gosslin seemed controlling this teens..they seemed scared or hiding something that they really wanna reveal but cannot out of fear
Yeah, I feel like it's not fear because they are obstinate and are fearlessly pushing her buttons. It seems more like they're used to being obedient. They know how the Gosselin "machine" works. Watch out, though Kate... You can see here that they are practicing pushing your obsessively drawn boundaries 😬

Over the years Cara just stopped talking altogether. Weird
Yesss
And you know this, how???
@@dianerathgeber9361 have you seen the show? She is hardly heard
@@dianerathgeber9361 how do we know this🫠We are seeing the same video, right
The interviewer handled this quite well!
She really did! Her question about repeated exposure on the kids was subtle but - pointed - at the same time 👏🏼👏🏼
Who was the interviewer? She totally went off script and asked the questions according to their reactions. Even addressing Kate when she tried to answer for them. Great job!
Savannah Guthrie on the Today Show
Savannah Guthrie is a moron, but she did well on this.
They were definitely forced to do this.
The thing about narc parents, is that I bet you after this interview, Kate probably tore into them about not saying a word and "embarrassing" her.
So Kate brought her daughters on the today show to have them tell the world that they’re okay and then when they didn’t want to speak (shady sign) Kate told everyone that the kids are okay....so shady. I know this was filmed years ago but I really do hope the kids are genuinely doing well. And poor Colin...
Cara looks like a deer in the headlights
Well you know they were punished after that interview!
There initial silence with their mom snapping her fingers at Maddie and saying “ words” speaks volumes!!!
You can see how unhappy these girls are… They seem afraid to speak while her mom is there… You can tell they are afraid to anger her…
“No you just said it 😬😐” 🤣TEAM MADDIE!
Iconic
They look so scared to say the wrong thing
Kate is a controlling nightmare...
Wire Hangers!!? WIRE HAAANGERS!!???
She sucks so much..I'm glad I have the mom I have and that says alot!
That was PAINFUL to watch!!!
At about 12 seconds in, while they are rolling the old footage, you can hear Kate call Cara's name, then the camera comes to them and they are super awkward. It sounds like she was disciplining her or trying to get her ready or something. It was strange.
I’m disgusted that she talked crap about their dad right there.
Well, that wasn't awkward. I think they may have attempted to blink in morse code.
😂😂😂
The kids have been through a lot growing up in the "spot light," especially, the two oldest. The reason why they couldn't say anything right away is because they're not happy.
Kate is horrific! I had to stop watching after snapping her fingers at her daughter. She makes me angry!
Kate is sickening.
The daughter had her head tilted away and kept eyeing like she was trying to say something about her mom without saying it.
When she speaks, I think she’s implying the show has helped people see the truth about their mom.
They are looking to their mom for permission to speak! 🤦
Run Cara, RUN!!
Twins: "Twin telepathy is a myth"
Also Twins: 1:16 - 1:22
Wow. This, ironically, speaks volumes.
this is most bizarre thing i have ever seen
The one in the white is holding something back you can tell.😬😬😬
Those girls had so much to say…but too scared to say it in front of their mother.
but at the same time- they barely said anything but pretty much said it all at time same time..
Awkward interview but the host really opened badly with the question "Your here to set the record straight so what do you want to say?"
That is a way too open ended question for young teens on live TV. They are obviously going to be nervous so you need to guide them by asking specific questions. So after they fumbled the first question they just got more shy and awkward.

@@partydowntown Exactly
They are _terrified_ of their "mom", aka: warden. They are too afraid to miss-speak, because their _will be_ punishment.
There's no injury to begin with...
😂😂😂😂 Narcissist!!!
Reminds me of mommy dearest.no more wire hangers😆
Moral of the story: Don't exploit your children for television credibility.
Scared to say the wrong thing I feel that
They were scared to say something wrong thing.. And getting punished like Collin.
She took a lot of low shots at her kids. She’s disgusting. Jon wasn’t the problem.
Kate is the epitome of “Karen” 💀
She’s the OG Karen. Literally.
They look uncomfortable and scared to talk
this is so embarrassing!
3:54 was especially telling, when she just spoke and she was happy about it, then Kate jumped in and the smile was immediately gone and you can tell she was thinking "I was talking..."

Wow you can tell Kate is so controlling. You can tell she is coaching them. Kate probably was so mad at them
Poor kids are absolutely terrified of this woman.
Right before they come into the frame you can hear Kate snap at Cara through her mic.
Boy, my parents would've been highly upset and mad as hayle had I behaved this way on national TV but seriously damn the body language....
the head tilt towards their mom and the clasped hands....that's a sign they feel defeated, unprotected, vulnerable, weakened, afraid and cowarded down.

Kate is the biggest Karen of them all.
Hot spicy karen....me likey..very much. She'd be really fun in bed!!!😅😅😅
The head tilts. Like puppets on a string. Very weird. You all watched Dr. Oz interview Jon after the 10 yr gag order is over. No wonder.
Wow … they are so controlled … it’s so sad to see them afraid .
Narcissistic abuse will do this to kids, and unfortunately, the damage done has the potential to last a lifetime. This interview shows just a fraction of the damage Kate has done... I'm sure these girls felt the wrath of Kate afterwards.
Always nice to see a close knit loving family....

Poor kids. The truth always comes out. Glad Hannah and Collin have been strong despite all their pain.
I think one possible option what went on in front of the camera was that they want to rebel against her disciplinary dominating mother , and are more for their easy going laid back dad.
Geeze, something isn't right. They look afraid to speak.
What a mess!! One of the kids acts like she’s a POW. Kate should have backed off putting them on tv.
The girls are so uncomfortable and it’s clear the mother is in control of everything. The girl who did not speak is afraid of saying the wrong thing so she developed to not speak at all to avoid saying the wrong thing and make the mother upset.

It all seems super unnatural and it tells you she does not give much love and affection to the girls. They should have looked more into them..
She values control, her daughters know this.
She badmouths Jon as much as she can.

Her final laugh almost sounds like a relief- finally my daughter said something to make me less embarrassed
The body language is not subtle. She legit is nodding and using her eyes to point at her mom as she says “it’s not done damage”. They are screaming help!! This is all lies. Maddie’s body language is as loud as a black eye. This should have prompted a DCFS investigation
Kate was horrible to Jon long ago. The girls probably felt more safe with him around, along with camera crew.
Those are kids who are afraid!
You know these girls got "punished" after this interview, especially the one on thr left. I feel like she gets abused by kate on the regular.....
What is she doing to them that they are so scared of her? 😢
I think Maddie is a mini Kate and she was punishing her for interrupting her. I think Cara was nervous on a live tv show…. Makes sense!
Seems like they were rebelling against the mom. Good!
Should of taken all the kids away from her.
Snapping her fingers. They forgot their lines Kate!
Kate stop trying to be famous and take care of your damn kids how dare you bring your 13 year old shot children out there to get them to say something you wanted them to say how dare you!! as a mother you are supposed to protect your children all I can say u Kate is have mercy on your soul:(
I couldn't imagine dating her or worse yet having her as a mother!!!
Lord I can’t imagine the backlash from Kate after that interview was over.
💯

This woman was and is a beast..team Jon all the way✊
I completely agree. I’ll always support and agree with Jon.
She is the reason the phrase "you should never hit a woman" is no longer universally accepted.
She does want to speak for them
Sitting on egg shells, they are controlled and super scared. Crazy mom.

She looked at her like, ok bet you want me to use my words. I wish they could have said what they really wanted to say.
Ew, the way Mady talks to her sister… I wonder where she learned that from.
They have been soooo coached.
