Collin Gosselin has accused his estranged mother, Kate Gosselin, of attempting to "bury" him to protect her public reputation, according to allegations detailed in his new memoir, "In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood." The 22-year-old former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star made the claims in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, where he stated that he has not spoken to his mother since he was 13 years old.
