In a new TikTok video, Mady Gosselin addresses her family’s fame and online comments in regard to her siblings and parents for the first time. The now 22-year-old may understand the curiosity surrounding her former reality star family, but that doesn’t mean she has to cater to it.

“This is the singular time I’m going to address this because it is sending me over the edge,” she said in the video.

“The rhetoric in so many of my comments about childhood trauma and healing and whatever you want to say about my family, my life, my parents, whatever is not your business,” Gosselin contines. “As is the case with every other person in the entire world it is not anybody else’s business what they are dealing with behind closed doors if they don’t want it to be your business.”

Mady, who, along with her twin sister Cara, is one of the oldest of the Gosselin kids, starred on the popular TLC series “Jon & Kate Plus 8” for 10 years. (The series became “Kate Plus 8” after Jon and Kate divorced, however.)

The Gosselin family has been the focus of attention from fans of the show ever since it premiered. Now that all of the kids are over the age of 18, some of them have spoken about their very public upbringing and how growing up in front of the world affected them.

Last fall, Collin Gosselin shared his experience as part of the family. He now resides with dad, Jon, and sister, Hannah, after being involuntarily institutionalized for years as a minor.

While Mady doesn’t deny that growing up in the spotlight affected her, she refuses to share her thoughts and feelings on the matter publicly. She feels the public isn’t entitled to her personal business.

“Perpetuating the narrative that we are damaged or that we are crazy child stars or whatever you want to say is extremely harmful as myself and my siblings are going out into the world and will be functioning members of society with careers,” Mady says in the TikTok.

She also said it’s her choice what she chooses to share on social media and let it be known that her siblings are doing fine.

“Regardless of whatever narrative you have created in your head from what you’ve seen, my siblings are doing so well,” Gosselin finished. “They are all amazing people. They are all smart, they are all kind, they’re driven students, they’re working hard, they’re funny, they’re stylish.”

In November 2022, Collin said he hasn’t spoken to Mady, Cara, his mother, or his other sextuplet siblings (aside from Hannah) in years. He believes that being on reality television is what broke his family apart.

“I want to believe it was because of TV and what being in the public eye does to a family. I think it tore us apart,” Collin said at the time. “It gave us less time to actually be together as a family [and] more time to be in the public eye.”

Mady concluded her video asking people to think before they speak (or type).

“The internet shouldn’t be just a free-for-all where you can bully everyone that you see. Decorum and kindness should still exist in comment sections and you shouldn’t say things that you wouldn’t say right to my face.”
