No, because when Collin tried to tell someone of the abuse, Kate punished him harshly and disowned him. Kate made an example out of Collin, so no kids would ever speak out. The fear, coupled with her manipulation and gaslighting, are enough to keep her secret safe. The kids may never fully realize what had actually happened.
Honestly…. The two kids with the father look the happiest! They have a sense of style that is their own, they smile in more pictures, they also look healthier… like maybe they aren’t depressed and or under Kate’s thumb and maybe go to the gym and have friends
They don’t look all that different, honestly just sounds like a stretch 😂 but regardless of the external appearances - I’m glad they’re all doing well in their respective lives.
And its crazy how those 4 siblings dont even talk to the other 2 anymore because they had the audacity to speak uo about the abuse they endured from their mother. It's just a sad situation for kids.
Mad Madeline is just like Kate. A manipulative control freak. And gets overly emotional and aggressive when she doesn’t get her way. Colin wasn’t willing to take Madeline bullying so he stood up to her.
Tbh if you watched the show it’s not surprising 😂she’s always been that way. Cara isn’t surprising either as she was always quiet and just went wherever the wind blew. The sextuplets are the most upsetting bc it’s like they’ll always be missing a part of themselves
@@tanyacourter4535have you ever seen her interact with other human beings. She's unpleasant to pretty much everyone. Constant snark, complaining, nagging, harping on every little thing...she HAS to be in control. She's completely neurotic.
@@tanyacourter4535honestly as someone who’s went through narcissist parenting all my life, that woman is the definition, like seriously rewatch the show. John was a great parent even despite not being the one who wanted more kids, he was a loving father and never spoke poorly of their kids the way she would
I watched Jon & Kate plus 8 and I remember when they first split up. They way each of them were portrayed and the way TLC spun the story, a lot of the public thought Jon was the bad guy and dragged him though the mud. Even my Grandmother, who also watched it was blaming Jon. I remember my Mom telling me what my Grandmother had said regarding it and I immediately opposed what she was saying. I fully sided with Jon and told anyone who brought it up to "Just wait. It'll come out that it's her not him." I'm not saying Jon is perfect, he's not but Kate, she is something else.
These kids need to reach out to their father. Mom has manipulated them against dad. They are only cheating themselves by not having a relationship with their dad. Trust me, my mom did the same thing to us.
I watched enough of the show to see that Kate wasn't easy to deal with (I am being nice here.) It's a crying shame the kids have cut him out. I am glad a few have not. They have a unique family and should all love one another - at least, the kids. Kate seemed hell bent on dissing Jon and Lord knows what she said to the kids.
She’s a terrible mother. Any mother who would throw away one child and not talk to him and then turn everyone against each other. She’s evil. Hoping someday karma will get her good. 😊
Who made the cake? So sad Kate is still more concerned about being in control of those kids than about her children’s mental health. To ensure they were alienated is such abuse. How she can she happy how she’s contributed to their anguish? Reckless human being.
@@michynature The children living with her are doing quite well. Having a sibling with problems can ruin everything for everyone else. Kate made the right move to save her other children.
Her quintuples you mean, he just turn her back on one of them been a very little boy, she is a monster, almost destroyed her little boy life. We all saw her abuse on the tv screen with the kids and with her husband
Kate is disgusting the way she left her son and turned all the others against Collin and Hannah. The 4 better wake up to their mother. She is evil to the core
If I was a betting woman when the show 1st premiered, I would've hit the jackpot. I called it....Kate was going to be the one to let the notoriety of reality tv change her so drastically in the worse ways.
The show didn't change her, it enabled her, it just glamorized and televised the true Kate...pretty sure she was always the petty, selfish, control freak it just wasn't on TV for all to see. You can see it in her eyes.
@@LOVER_LINKin most cases. But I know some like Mark Paul for example that don’t look Asian. Some come out looking like their other parent. And for Kate to have as many children it is a wonder why not one looks like her. But maybe her grandchildren will have her genes?
@@gracegreen1859my grandma is blonde hair, blue eyes, petite, none of us look like her. It's honestly hilarious when she's with all of her grandkids, looks like we're kidnapping an old yt lady. but truth is, her coochie is why we're here. Love my grammy to the moon and back times infinity.
"We were so thrilled, we decided to try for one more." - Jon In reality, it has always felt like Kate pressured Jon to have another child and even stated this in Jon and Kate: +8, but he eventually gave in. I presume he eventually gave in to make her happy and not make it a bigger issue because Kate tends to do that a lot, which you can see all the time in their former show. You can tell very early on in the episodes of their show that Jon was miserable. Either with Kate, the situation at hand, or both, but he never blamed his kids for anything wrong in their marriage. Unfortunately, it became a HUGE issue because, look, what happened to their family? Is it because Kate was known to be the first "Karen"? She had twins and then sextuplets, which is A LOT OF STRESS and that's not even including their entire lives in the media. I see that Kate has always played the spotlight with herself before her kids, then her kids were second, and then Jon was in last and in that order because it felt like Jon and Kate were less of a team raising their kids, which showed in the show because on one or more occasion Kate humiliated Jon on camera It has always made me wonder: did she agree to make a TV show for her publicly or to financially help her family? I think it was her publicity and then money because if you notice now Jon tries to stay out of the spotlight, unlike Kate with everything, does anyone remember the show "Kate Plus Date" and "Celebrity Wife Swap" or is it just me? She probably would have NEVER been famous if not for her family circumstances (She was a nurse prior), which she broadcasted to the entire world, and they should have stopped the media after the two documentaries on the Discovery Channel (In my opinion). I know I would be happy to see some of the first moments filmed for memories and then later the show show, but that doesn't include all the bad moments too. I know I were one of their kids, then I would have been absolutely humiliated, and I already got bullied growing up; it would have added fuel to the fire. As for Kate and Jon's fights, the world didn't need to see them including their public divorce, and a lot of what happened should have remained private. If you remember, Kate was more upset about her show being cancelled than her family being torn apart by her actions, and life in the media is a circus. Well, at least it appeared to show on the outside in the show and past interviews. We all know Kate tore the family apart because of the publicity she desperately craved, which added additional stress to her innocent family. That's something that has always been obvious, unlike Jon, who felt too afraid and needed Kate's permission to speak. He seemed to be initially quite happy in the beginning with only Mady and Cara, and no more children were necessary to complete their family, but Kate had to take control again and manipulate the situation. Again, you can tell it had to be HER show (Later Kate+8 vs Jon and Kate+8) instead of a show with Jon and their 8 kids who were much too young to consent to everything they were put through, and I don’t blame the kids for having physical and mental issues now and reckless behaviour. I'm not saying what Collin (Or anyone in their family for that matter) apparently did was right, but we were not involved, so we can't say who exactly was right in this situation, but I know Kate has always been a bad influence on her kids. I don't think Jon was "so thrilled" to have another child, let alone sextuplets, but regardless, 20 years later, Jon has shown unconditional love for his 8 children and seems to be more of a hands on and supportive dad than Kate ever was, who instead seems to love the media attention and herself known as a "Karen", and her "Forever Babies," as she has called them. Blah. Blah. Blah. In the end, I don't think Collin was abusive. He may have had health issues since he was just a child, but we have no idea what is going on behind closed doors, and there is so much we don't know about. I know Jon isn't perfect and his eight kids aren't either, but unlike Kate, they can say they have continued to go through life knowing they haven't destroyed another person. Kate has always played the victim and destroyed nine lives, both for herself and for her "family." Now, their show is exactly like the other horrible TV family show, The Duggars (19 Kids and Counting and Counting On and Here comes Honey Boo Boo), and we all know what happened there to the three shows on TLC or even how Princess Diana was killed by the press too.
I've always wondered..and maybe this has been discussed or brought up before...I wonder if Collin was more intensely effected by the household dynamic when the show was on. That cannot be an easily childhood for any kid - in a household with 7 siblings and cameras were rolling, alot. Alot of their young childhood was the cameras rolling and things orchestrated or elaborated for the show storyline. Add the fact that Kate is a narcissist and in need for constant control. Maybe Collin protested this the most behind closed doors. I do wonder how different it would have been if the circumstances were different. I had a feeling while watching the old episodes of them as young children...if sweet Collin just had a hard time coping with his surroundings and a controlling mother with cameras always rolling. Maybe he had a hard time expressing that verbally, especially when Kate pushed for the show. I truly feel so much empathy for all of these kids, and especially Collin. I can only imagine how difficult childhood was for them in certain ways. I hope he's in therapy (I hope all of them are, including Jon). Bless them all. Kate really did a number on these poor kids
Kate last time we checked Colin is also your son .. you are a a huge disappointment as a parent very disturbing your very disturbing.. mothers NEVER ABANDON THEIR KIDS .. why would you ever single out one child you are a disgrace to moms you should be very ashamed of your self very shameful behavior
I remember growing up with my mother watching their show and bonding with her over it, the sextuplets birthday is a day after mine which is why I like to keep in touch with them. Last year a few of the kids went live and oh my gosh I crushed on Alexis hard bc she was sm like me in a way, I still have a bit of a happy crush and it isn't going away anytime soon lol
Kate is immature, petty, and egocentric. If she doesn’t wanna deal with Jon, cool, but she influences her other kids to look at Jon as the villain, and her as the hero. But at the end of the day, they are ALL adults now, so it’s on the other siblings to make their own decision when it comes to their father.
Even when she did a tv interview two of her kids…they could not answer with their own thoughts! They looked to Kate as to what do you want me to say. Was it on Ellen’s tv show?
Its because of Kate as to why all the siblings are not speaking to each other or their father. Kate made sure to destroy any relationship Jon had with the children. All the children are afraid of Kate which isn't love at all. I seen how she treated and talk to Jon with the children ther in Jon and Kate Plus 8 and is 100% wrong for her to do so. Also what she did to Collin was unthinkable all because she wanted the money from the show. It horrible that a parent could do such a thing to their own child by tieing them up, placing the child in basement and told not to interact with their siblings, and lie again telling other he had behavioral problems and place on a instatustion and not telling anyone where he was. In the contact with TLC its said something that everyone had to be on the show or the show eould be canceled and Kate would pay TLC a lot of money. Like some say Money is the root of evil and it true.
How can she only wish 4 of her children ‘happy birthday’ and not the other 2….and how can he just call them “the other kids” in that manner? I can’t begin to imagine the stress levels of raising that many kids all at once…but come on you’re on social media ?!? At least fake ur love!
Kate should be ashamed for how she treated Colin especially and her purposely getting him discharged from Marines to retaliate bc he spoke out against her. But I remember seeing the show when she was pregnant and thought she was incredibly rude to John but he’s an adult so whatever. But your own children, disgusting
Kate Gosselin is a control freak, it's her way or no way. If you go back through the reruns long before the split,vyou will see how horrible she treated John
I have a step mom who took my dad completely out of my life for 10 years. Shes kinda like kate. Is there a diagnosis for people who love to split people apart ?
Drove my youngest daughter to the moms book signing near 2 decades . I sensed that mother was creepy . And Im a man ,a #NavyVeteranKorea n law enforcement. Married now 65 yrs this yr. A weird creepy mother.
That poor family. Kate couldn't keep it together in front of the camera, I can only imagine what happened behind the scenes. What's happened to Collin is so sad... I believe he was made into the scapegoat by Kate for starting to tell the truth about what was going on. Kate split up the kids... I really think Kate couldn't risk the truth getting out by Collin so she sent him away (so typical with a narcissistic parent)... siblings being raised in this type of atmosphere don't normally end up being close to one another in adulthood. Wishing them all a happy birthday, AND a trauma-free life going forward!
Indeed, I recall she informed the family court that she did not require Jon's child support, and she conveyed the same message to the media and television shows on which she appeared.
She tried to be on some kind of reality TV show and got sent home the first episode. There was a cash prize to the person who stays on You could just tell when she had to leave the first episode she DID NOT want to leave the show. The desperation was obvious She's absolutely broke..she doesn't hide it well, and her being broke is her own fault. She should have managed her money better when she became a multi millionaire from the show years ago
I how the kids get real therapy sheet everything that happened to them. But for real, Colin and Hannah look like they are doing the best. It's hard breaking away from a narcissistic parent. Hurt people hurt people. You can tell by how she acted in the show she also didn't have the best childhood. I feel like she needs also needs therapy. She clearly went through some stuff. It's just an all around sad situation and the network took advantage of it for our entertainment.😢
Kate would make sure to destroy any closeness between Jon and the other kids when they were trying to rebuild their relationship. Kate is a parental alienator and a control freak. She can’t handle the kids knowing that Jon was never the monster she made him out to be.
I mean 2 kids chose to live with the dad and the other 4 chose to stay with their mom, they are all adults now so I'm sure both parents weren't the greatest and not just one like everyone is making out to be. People you don't know the whole story or know what went on behind the scenes but still decided to make nasty comments based on things you see on TV that could easily be manipulated or edited a certain way.
We know the whole story Kate broadcast all over the world and so did Jon but Jon took responsibility for his screw ups back in 2014 unlike Kate who blames everyone and that she has alienated her and Jon's children from her side of the family and Jon's side of the family since 2009, Kate is the one treated everyone like crap and she let Maddy do the same.
@@LaraCroftEyes1 sounds like he is. That comment about being their hero and not being their equal sort of shows his character. How do u not see your kids for 5-10 years. Crazy.
"He isn't toxic. As for Jon not seeing his children, it's hard to do when Kate poisoned them against him. Kate refused to co-parent with Jon because she didn't want their children to be happy spending time with their father. As Jon and Kate's family and friends have said, Kate has to have it her way only, or she cuts you out of her life."
Colin and Hannah know the bull she pulls. She is narcissistic, has driven Cokun and Hannah away from their siblings. Maybe oneday theybwill see it too, Kate will be alone and unhappy, all that money and fame has got her know where Now @EntertainmentTonihh stop giving her air time and making it look like she is a good Mom.
Colin actually lived with Jon's ex-girlfriend, Colleen when she and Jon split up. Guess it's not quite the cozy picture Jon has tried to paint. Not that Kate is any better. They're both toxic people too wrapped up in their hate for each other. Everyone else should run.
Didn’t Kate not realize that her kids would become adults and tell people what’s been going on in the house?
No, because when Collin tried to tell someone of the abuse, Kate punished him harshly and disowned him. Kate made an example out of Collin, so no kids would ever speak out. The fear, coupled with her manipulation and gaslighting, are enough to keep her secret safe. The kids may never fully realize what had actually happened.
She brain washed the other kids.
Honestly…. The two kids with the father look the happiest! They have a sense of style that is their own, they smile in more pictures, they also look healthier… like maybe they aren’t depressed and or under Kate’s thumb and maybe go to the gym and have friends
It seems that Kate didnt even mention the other two kids when she wished happy birthday to her forever babies.
You know that a damn shame
They're way better off where they are. She's(Kate) is not right.
They don’t look all that different, honestly just sounds like a stretch 😂 but regardless of the external appearances - I’m glad they’re all doing well in their respective lives.
She was a horrible woman, not sure how Jon stayed around so long 😂
Kate will always be the original Karen. Attitude, hair cut, all of it.
So true😂
If you Google the “ let me speak to your manager “ hair cut, her pic pops up😂…I randomly looked it up recently.
Yep
That’s an understatement, she’s a disgrace of a mother, she actually makes me sick
Why wouldn’t she wish ALL of her kids a happy birthday? She’s so petty
And its crazy how those 4 siblings dont even talk to the other 2 anymore because they had the audacity to speak uo about the abuse they endured from their mother. It's just a sad situation for kids.
I think it's really common for this to happen in families when the jerk parent leverages their love.
hannah speaks to them they said that in the video also she goes live with lex on tiktok and her other siblings idk if collin does tho
Happy birthday to the kids , i hope one day they'll all get to celebrate together.
Kate destroyed this family. She destroyed John and then Collin. She’s truly evil.

Only Kate does that. John wants them all back together

She use to be abuse Jon her husband when he left she took it all on Collin and now I am sure there one that get it more now. It’s so sad .
Right? I think Collin reminded her of John and that’s why she’d always run him down even as a toddler:(
I feel really bad for Jon not being able to talk to his other kids. I, so happy that he has Hannah and Collin though.
This is sad.....he hasn't seen his other kids in 5yrs???? Tragic...

Again, you can tell it had to be HER show (Later Kate+8 vs Jon and Kate+8) instead of a show with Jon and their 8 kids who were much too young to consent to everything they were put through, and I don’t blame the kids for having physical and mental issues now and reckless behaviour.
I'm not saying what Collin (Or anyone in their family for that matter) apparently did was right, but we were not involved, so we can't say who exactly was right in this situation, but I know Kate has always been a bad influence on her kids.
I don't think Jon was "so thrilled" to have another child, let alone sextuplets, but regardless, 20 years later, Jon has shown unconditional love for his 8 children and seems to be more of a hands on and supportive dad than Kate ever was, who instead seems to love the media attention and herself known as a "Karen", and her "Forever Babies," as she has called them. Blah. Blah. Blah.
In the end, I don't think Collin was abusive. He may have had health issues since he was just a child, but we have no idea what is going on behind closed doors, and there is so much we don't know about.
I know Jon isn't perfect and his eight kids aren't either, but unlike Kate, they can say they have continued to go through life knowing they haven't destroyed another person. Kate has always played the victim and destroyed nine lives, both for herself and for her "family."

I do wonder how different it would have been if the circumstances were different. I had a feeling while watching the old episodes of them as young children...if sweet Collin just had a hard time coping with his surroundings and a controlling mother with cameras always rolling. Maybe he had a hard time expressing that verbally, especially when Kate pushed for the show.
I truly feel so much empathy for all of these kids, and especially Collin. I can only imagine how difficult childhood was for them in certain ways. I hope he's in therapy (I hope all of them are, including Jon). Bless them all. Kate really did a number on these poor kids

Kate last time we checked Colin is also your son .. you are a a huge disappointment as a parent very disturbing your very disturbing.. mothers NEVER ABANDON THEIR KIDS .. why would you ever single out one child you are a disgrace to moms you should be very ashamed of your self very shameful behavior
The cake looks like it was found in the dumpster 5 days old
I remember growing up with my mother watching their show and bonding with her over it, the sextuplets birthday is a day after mine which is why I like to keep in touch with them. Last year a few of the kids went live and oh my gosh I crushed on Alexis hard bc she was sm like me in a way, I still have a bit of a happy crush and it isn't going away anytime soon lol
The show we all wanna see... The kids wothout their parents... The viewership would be through the Roof!
Maybe they can now escape Kate
Escape Kate hmmm sounds like a great documentary name 😂
We just gonna ignore that horrendous cake with an eggplant in the middle of it?! 😳
Must piss Kate off that Hannah left, Hannah was her favorite.
Kate is immature, petty, and egocentric. If she doesn’t wanna deal with Jon, cool, but she influences her other kids to look at Jon as the villain, and her as the hero. But at the end of the day, they are ALL adults now, so it’s on the other siblings to make their own decision when it comes to their father.
kate Gosselin abused Collin she should be in jail
or mental hospital
I hate when people say kiddos.
Me too. Hate it.
Even when she did a tv interview two of her kids…they could not answer with their own thoughts! They looked to Kate as to what do you want me to say.
Was it on Ellen’s tv show?
Stop giving her media time. She is evil
Its because of Kate as to why all the siblings are not speaking to each other or their father. Kate made sure to destroy any relationship Jon had with the children. All the children are afraid of Kate which isn't love at all. I seen how she treated and talk to Jon with the children ther in Jon and Kate Plus 8 and is 100% wrong for her to do so. Also what she did to Collin was unthinkable all because she wanted the money from the show. It horrible that a parent could do such a thing to their own child by tieing them up, placing the child in basement and told not to interact with their siblings, and lie again telling other he had behavioral problems and place on a instatustion and not telling anyone where he was. In the contact with TLC its said something that everyone had to be on the show or the show eould be canceled and Kate would pay TLC a lot of money. Like some say Money is the root of evil and it true.
I would think these young adults have a mind of their own, but they seem heavily controlled by Kate
She was so mean to john
A family divided? Usually one or both of the parents is a narcissist. Im guessing Kate.
How can she only wish 4 of her children ‘happy birthday’ and not the other 2….and how can he just call them “the other kids” in that manner? I can’t begin to imagine the stress levels of raising that many kids all at once…but come on you’re on social media ?!? At least fake ur love!
Kate should be ashamed for how she treated Colin especially and her purposely getting him discharged from Marines to retaliate bc he spoke out against her. But I remember seeing the show when she was pregnant and thought she was incredibly rude to John but he’s an adult so whatever. But your own children, disgusting
Kate is an abusive control freak .
Of course the two happiest kids are w their father.
Goodness I can’t believe they’re adults now
I remember when she first brought them Home! They grow up so fast! 🥺
Kate Gosselin is a control freak, it's her way or no way. If you go back through the reruns long before the split,vyou will see how horrible she treated John
I hope the sextuplets will have the chance to reunite and re-build their relationship.
I have a step mom who took my dad completely out of my life for 10 years. Shes kinda like kate. Is there a diagnosis for people who love to split people apart ?
Colin and Hannah not here
Out of all the colors she decides to make them a sad brown cake 🤦🏻♀️
She’s a narcissist. She should be doing all the kids birthday
Wow watched from the beginning..
Drove my youngest daughter to the moms book signing near 2 decades . I sensed that mother was creepy . And Im a man ,a #NavyVeteranKorea n law enforcement. Married now 65 yrs this yr. A weird creepy mother.
Hb twins enjoy your day it's a blessing
I always found Kate to be extremely horrible and narcissistic so not surprised how she treated Colin. Very sad
Simple logic: how could Collin be abusive toward Mady when he had not seen her in years???? And no mention of abuse until Collin brought it up… hmmmmm
Kate is a sociopath.
That poor family. Kate couldn't keep it together in front of the camera, I can only imagine what happened behind the scenes. What's happened to Collin is so sad... I believe he was made into the scapegoat by Kate for starting to tell the truth about what was going on. Kate split up the kids... I really think Kate couldn't risk the truth getting out by Collin so she sent him away (so typical with a narcissistic parent)... siblings being raised in this type of atmosphere don't normally end up being close to one another in adulthood. Wishing them all a happy birthday, AND a trauma-free life going forward!
The c😢ake comments are too too funny
There’s only four of them in the picture
Yep!! Videos tells the truth!!
Unpaid child support? She said he didn’t have to pay it! She’s psycho
Indeed, I recall she informed the family court that she did not require Jon's child support, and she conveyed the same message to the media and television shows on which she appeared.
Happy 20th birthday to them
Kate, where did the money go?
I hear Kate is broke now.
good
She tried to be on some kind of reality TV show and got sent home the first episode. There was a cash prize to the person who stays on
You could just tell when she had to leave the first episode she DID NOT want to leave the show. The desperation was obvious
She's absolutely broke..she doesn't hide it well, and her being broke is her own fault. She should have managed her money better when she became a multi millionaire from the show years ago
Jon should sue big time ! The network knew those kid's and Jon was being harmed and kept it rolling 😢
I how the kids get real therapy sheet everything that happened to them. But for real, Colin and Hannah look like they are doing the best. It's hard breaking away from a narcissistic parent. Hurt people hurt people. You can tell by how she acted in the show she also didn't have the best childhood. I feel like she needs also needs therapy. She clearly went through some stuff. It's just an all around sad situation and the network took advantage of it for our entertainment.😢
Kate would make sure to destroy any closeness between Jon and the other kids when they were trying to rebuild their relationship. Kate is a parental alienator and a control freak. She can’t handle the kids knowing that Jon was never the monster she made him out to be.
What about Collin?
I mean 2 kids chose to live with the dad and the other 4 chose to stay with their mom, they are all adults now so I'm sure both parents weren't the greatest and not just one like everyone is making out to be. People you don't know the whole story or know what went on behind the scenes but still decided to make nasty comments based on things you see on TV that could easily be manipulated or edited a certain way.
Girl shut up.
We know the whole story Kate broadcast all over the world and so did Jon but Jon took responsibility for his screw ups back in 2014 unlike Kate who blames everyone and that she has alienated her and Jon's children from her side of the family and Jon's side of the family since 2009, Kate is the one treated everyone like crap and she let Maddy do the same.
After watching the sons interview she is and was a terrible mother.
Their mother's a coal mother, they need to go visit their brother. They grow now and they should go visit their brother.
I think both parents are toxic. I feel for those kids.
Jon isn't toxic.
@@LaraCroftEyes1 sounds like he is. That comment about being their hero and not being their equal sort of shows his character. How do u not see your kids for 5-10 years. Crazy.
I don't believe Jon is toxic.
"He isn't toxic. As for Jon not seeing his children, it's hard to do when Kate poisoned them against him. Kate refused to co-parent with Jon because she didn't want their children to be happy spending time with their father. As Jon and Kate's family and friends have said, Kate has to have it her way only, or she cuts you out of her life."
@@LaraCroftEyes1 he has rights as their father. She can't legally keep them from him. He chose not to pursue it.
How are the 20 ALREADY !?! 🤯
Colin and Hannah know the bull she pulls. She is narcissistic, has driven Cokun and Hannah away from their siblings.
Maybe oneday theybwill see it too, Kate will be alone and unhappy, all that money and fame has got her know where
Now @EntertainmentTonihh stop giving her air time and making it look like she is a good Mom.
The one sextuplet looks like Maddy. I thought it was Maddy in the picture for a second.
What’s up with that cake 👀
Colin actually lived with Jon's ex-girlfriend, Colleen when she and Jon split up. Guess it's not quite the cozy picture Jon has tried to paint. Not that Kate is any better. They're both toxic people too wrapped up in their hate for each other. Everyone else should run.
@@tikusblue There's more to the story than that.
Not true. Just cause he stayed with her for a while means nothing
Wrong there that Collen still supports Collin and Jon and Colleen are still good friends
Exactly.
He was close to her & looked up to her. Dont assume.
Uhhh that’s an interesting choice of cake design
Kate dont care about her.. love the kids
Misery!! So sad the end
Hapoy 🎂 birthday
