Gosselin Feud Smackdown: Collin Says He’d Appear on TV Show Special Forces After Mom Kate’s Epic Failure — to Show Her What He’s ‘Capable Of’ After She Institutionalized Him

Collin Gosselin is making headlines with his bold desire to join the reality series ‘Special Forces’ — a move he hopes will demonstrate his capabilities to his estranged mother, Kate Gosselin. The 20-year-old has not held back in voicing his grievances against his mother, who famously had him institutionalized during his childhood.

In an exclusive revelation to RadarOnline.com, Collin is eager to make a comeback on reality television, specifically motivated by his past experiences and his mother’s actions. He expressed his interest in appearing on ‘Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test,’ the same program that showcased Kate’s attempt at endurance and strength last year.

Reflecting on his mother’s participation in the show, Collin admitted that it was difficult for him to watch her struggle after she left the competition following a neck injury during the initial challenge. He remarked on how hard it was to see her in pain, yet acknowledged that their complicated relationship has driven him to pursue his own path.

Despite the hurt stemming from their past, which includes being placed in a facility at the age of 11, Collin conveyed a sense of empathy for Kate. He expressed remorse for the struggles she had during her stint on the show while simultaneously addressing the toll her actions have taken on him. He blasted her attempts to protect her own image at the expense of his wellbeing.

Collin has endured a strained relationship with Kate since their fallout in 2016, when she cited his mental health in making critical decisions about his life. He has publicly claimed that Kate’s accusations contributed to the end of his military ambitions, which culminated in his discharge from the Marines amid her claims of his supposed psychiatric evaluations.

Now, as he begins a new chapter in college, Collin is determined to carve out his own identity beyond the shadow of his mother. When asked if he would tackle the challenges on ‘Special Forces,’ he did not hesitate, saying that such an opportunity would be hard to turn down. He sees it as a chance not only to prove himself but to show Kate how far he has come since their last encounter.

With feelings of regret for both his past and the impact of his mother’s decisions, Collin emphasizes his resilience and ambition to pursue his dreams, making it clear that he is focused on building a future independent of his mother’s history.
