In a recent Instagram Stories update, Collin went unfiltered as he made more accusations against his mother.

Collin continued, noting that critics have said "horrible things" about him, but he remains unmoved and would never stop advocating for scapegoated children regardless of the backlash.

The reality star then went into details about the alleged abuse suffered at his mother's hands.

Collin’s advocacy for abused children stems from his own troubling experiences.

Since appearing on “TLC's Jon and Kate Plus 8” alongside his parents and siblings, he has shared multiple details over the past two years about his fractured relationship with Kate.

According to The Blast, last year Collin alleged that he endured severe mistreatment at Kate's hands.

“My mother had a room built in our unfinished section of the storage basement,” he detailed. “She had a room put up with cameras in it, a tiny window in the corner, and it was bolt-locked from the outside.”

The 20-year-old claimed the “containment room” often became a place where Kate left him with only a mattress on the floor.

Even worse, he alleged that she sometimes “zip-tied” his hands and feet, “bolt-locked the door,” and turned off the lights, leaving him alone in darkness.

Collin’s allegations extend beyond abuse claims. He has also accused his mother of dishonesty in her personal relationships.

He urged the public not to be fooled by Kate’s new romance with her former bodyguard, Steven Neild.

Although Kate confirmed she had been dating for over a year, she never disclosed her partner’s identity. However, a source later confirmed his identity as Neild,

According to Collin, Kate cheated on Jon with Neild in 2009, and the pair shared hotel rooms during family vacations while he stayed in a connected room, per The Blast.

"Now everyone thinks her being with him is some cute novel romance," he lamented, suggesting the public was being misled as he urged her to “just be truthful.”
