Jon and Kate Plus 8 is back in the news, and it is a lot more complicated than the headlines are making it sound. One of the sextuplets, Colin, has a book coming out in October with abuse allegations against Kate Gosselin. And before anyone picks a side, Chalene wants to take you all the way back to the beginning, because the story of how we got here matters.
This episode covers the full arc of one of the most watched families in reality TV history, what actually happened to Colin behind the scenes, why he was sent away for two years to a residential facility, what his dad Jon had to do to even find out where he was, and the psychological phenomenon called family scapegoating that experts say fits this situation almost exactly.
But Chalene is not here to hand out a verdict. She has real questions about what role the cameras played, what role the producers played, what role we played as viewers, and whether any of this is as simple as hero and villain. Spoiler: she does not think it is.
She also wants to hear from you. What do you remember about watching this show? Because this one hits different when you go back and actually look at it.
