“This is one of those things that is a life-altering event,” Gosselin recalled, adding that she introduced using an ice machine for cold therapy. She described the surgery as one of the most painful experiences she has ever had, and she had to rely on five pain medications just to get by.

One of the TV personality’s sons also bore similar grievances as his dad towards his mother and proceeded to challenge her to take a lie detector test. Colin had accused his mother of dating Neild back in 2009, meaning they had cheated on his dad.

He recalled his mother allegedly sharing rooms with the bodyguard during vacations, adding that his father should not be the only one receiving heat for stepping out during the marriage. The media personality’s son then urged Gosselin to prove her innocence before the entire world by taking the test.

“This is my formal invitation to do a lie detector test with my mom lolll. Then we’ll see who’s been lying straight to the public…” Colin wrote on his Instagram story back in September.

Colin emphasized that his mission was not to humiliate his mother, but to demand accountability and teach her a lesson about taking responsibility for one’s own actions.

Wishing Kate Gosselin all the best as she gets back on her feet very soon.
