14 DAY TRIAL // Kate Gosselin is, according to many, one of the toughest and most shrewd businesswomen in the industry and that’s a lot when we’re talking about a woman who, at the end of the day, doesn’t have much talent and whose biggest achievement is giving birth to sextuplets and having a reality show. Depending on who you ask, Mrs. Gosselin is also a genuine tyrant, with her children being her favorite “victims.” Photos recently surfaced would seem to confirm the latter, InTouch says (story via here).
This is, as some of you might remember, not the first time that Kate Gosselin is pictured or criticized for getting physical with one of her kids. One time, she infamously made headlines for smacking one of her daughters, while rumors were making the rounds that, when the cameras were not rolling, she would “discipline” her children with a plastic spoon. This time, it was Collin who had to be put in his place, a report in the aforementioned tab says.
“On January 15, Kate was seen grabbing Collin after picking up him and his siblings from school at around 2 p.m. ‘Collin started talking to people around them, and Kate wanted him to keep quiet. She looked like she was about to lose it and smacked Collin in the face and then held his mouth!’ an onlooker tells In Touch, adding, ‘All I know is that I wouldn’t treat a 5 year-old like that…’” the report in InTouch reads.
“With the messy divorce behind her, why is Kate resorting to physical violence now? According to a friend, the mother of eight is struggling with being a single mom. ‘Kate’s not just stressed, she’s completely overwhelmed,’ her pal explains. ‘She is trying to do her best with her new life,’ adds the friend, ‘but it’s proven to be much harder than she imagined’.” the tab further writes.
The same tab also says that Kate is having serious problems with coming to terms with the idea that Jon, her ex-husband, is moving on so quickly, changing girlfriends like socks. She doesn’t want a reconciliation, but it does make her wonder whether he ever had any real feelings for her, the spy explains. For the sake of clarity, the photos that are now online show that Mrs. Gosselin only covered Collin’s mouth with her hand.
