Hannah Gosselin all smiles following bombshell docuseries revelations

Reality TV

Hannah Gosselin appears to be in fine spirits after getting candid about her familial woes for a new documentary.

The former reality star, 19, shared some cute photos of herself grinning broadly on Instagram while out and about in Dallas, Texas.

“texas gal 🌵texas gal 🌵,” she captioned the post Wednesday.

Hannah, along with fellow sextuplets Collin, Leah, Alexis, Aaden and Joel, and now-22-year-old twin sisters Mady and Cara, were introduced to the public as toddlers, starring in multiple TV specials and a series about their large family, which was headed by their parents, Jon and Kate Gosselin.

The family starred in the TLC series “Jon Jon & Kate Plus 8” from 2007 to 2009, as well as the “Kate Plus 8” spin-off, which aired after the famous couple got divorced.

However, Hannah got real about her family life in the newly released Vice TV documentary “Dark Side of the 2000s,” in which she claimed that her mother treated her brother Collin differently from the rest of the clan.

“He would be separated from us,” she confessed.

“Like, he would not get to come and play outside with us. He would eat dinner at different times than us.”

Collin, who acknowledged in the doc that he was not “a perfect child” growing up but alleged that his “misbehaving was no different from [his] siblings,” theorized his mom, Kate, took out her frustrations over her divorce on him.

“I know my mother was going through a lot of things,” the teen said. “I mean, a divorce and plenty of different things that can’t be easy to go through.”

Eventually, the “DWTS” alum sent Collin to live in a behavioral institution when he was just 12 years old.

Collin claimed that his mother became aware that he was telling others about her “abusive” behavior.

Kate — who previously denied that she was ever abusive to Collin or any of her other seven children — claimed that she institutionalized her son because he had “special needs.”

However, in 2018, Collin sent a handwritten note to his father, begging for him to be freed.

Jon filed for legal and physical custody of Collin, which was eventually granted along with Hannah’s. The other six siblings continued to live with their mother.

At least one of the children has denied Hannah and Collin’s claims.

Their older sister Mady issued a statement via Instagram Stories earlier this week, slamming her brother’s allegations.

“I do not owe my allegiance to any person(s), who has physically threatened me and every member of my immediate family (some incidents as recent as last year),” she wrote.

Mady also accused Collin of “hate speech” and shared that she is not interested in “further conversation” about “rebuilding” her relationship with him.
