Jon Gosselin says he really didn’t want to do this.
The former reality star and father of eight says he never wanted to make this public… but now he has no choice.
So Jon is very sorry, but here he goes:
Gosselin says his 16-year old son is a liar.
The ex-TLC personality has been in the news of late for the worst possible reason: He’s accused of assaulting his own child, Collin.
According to People Magazine, Jon and Collin got into a screaming match while the former was driving the latter around… and then the fight escalated to a horrible degree once they arrived home.
“Jon got out of the car enraged, put him in a headlock, punched him square in the nose, and when Collin fell to the ground, then he kicked him in the ribs,” an insider told this publication a few days ago.
This same outlet, along with others, reported at the time that the Berks County Children & Youth Services in Pennsylvania had opened an investigation into Jon and the incident.
Through a rep, Gosselin all details alleged in the quote above.
But now Jon has come out and done the same himself.
“It’s not true, I would never hit Collin, ever. I love him with all my heart,” Jon told The Daily Mail on Friday, reluctantly explaining that Collin has mental health issues… and made a false report to police because he wasn’t getting his way.
The Daily Mail claims that authorities did look into what allegedly transpired between father and son.
But ended the investigation after 24 hours.
Collin, for whatever it’s worth, spent a few years living in a special needs facility until Jon got him out in late 2018 and won temporary custody of the teenager in court.
“I really didn’t want to have to come out and talk about this for Collin’s sake, but when Kate is in the media attacking me, calling me a child abuser, I have to defend myself,” Jon also said, referencing hsi ex-wife.
“I love my son and I would never hurt him.”
Jon added that his daughter, Hannah, who also lives with him, witnessed the argument between Jon and Collin and told the police that her father never struck her brother.
We have not confirmed this account ourselves.
Collin, though, went public with his allegation last week on Instagram.
Trashing his dad as a “liar,” the teenager wrote:
“Yesterday he beat me up and thought nothing of it, he punched me in the face and gave me a swollen nose and I started bleeding. He then continued to kick me in the ribs after I was on the floor.”
Collin quickly deleted the message, but here it is:
For her part, Kate Gosselin has spoken out loudly and strongly against her ex-husband, from whom she split in 2009 after eight kids and many years together as co-stars on jon and Kate Plus 8.
“I am horrified that this man is the father of my children,” Kate told People this week. “I don’t want my children to be associated with …read more
