'Jon & Kate' star Collin Gosselin claims mother zip-tied and locked him in basement room as a child

Collin Gosselin reflected on the alleged abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother, Kate Gosselin.

Collin, 22, claimed in an interview with ABC that his mom allegedly made him sleep in a locked room in the basement as a way to isolate him from his father, Jon Gosselin.

He claimed that one of his teachers noticed he had a swollen earlobe, which Collin said happened after Kate allegedly "dragged" him across the room by his ear during one abusive incident.

"My teacher saw ... and then I talked to my guidance counselor, and I told them about it," Collin said. "And my mom was not very happy that I spoke about that."

He was eventually pulled from school in the fourth grade, and recalled being "too afraid to say anything" when child protective services questioned abuse allegations.

"I was told, 'This is for your own good,'" he recalled before admitting, "I threatened my mom's income, I threatened her image and people will do anything to protect their reputation, especially my mom."

Kate claimed through the years that Collin suffered from a number of behavioral challenges. Collin wrote that she claimed he had autism, bipolar and obsessive compulsive disorder, but an independent psychological evaluation allegedly showed he didn't have any of those diagnoses.

"Everybody was like, 'Were you surprised when you got this?' I was like, 'No,'" he said. "Because I knew that, it's just that I needed it on paper."

In a sit-down with Jay Shetty ahead of the release of his memoir, "In The Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood,' Collin claimed his earliest memories were when camera crews took over his house.

"We were rolling every day, I mean at least a majority of the week, every week of the month of the year," he said.
