[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mady was my favorite kid when I watched the show. At this point, she’s a mini Kate and her statement shows that she will not stand for hate of any kind, except the kind she herself dishes out.[/quote]

She really is Kate 2.0 which is not good for her at all.[/quote]

Agree that her statement was not a good look. My guess is Kate used her to help dole out punishment and she is trying to rationalize. Kate is the true monster who literally had her kid sent away and didn’t even visit. I remember her saying they were not sure of his diagnosis. and my guess is there wasn’t some awful thing so she made stuff up. I feel bad for Colin but he has turned out okay. He is very mature in his interviews. Hannah is so sweet-I imagine it was hard for her to walk away and she is trying to bring everyone together. [/quote]

That's a lot of guessing and assuming. Her message was clear. She and some of the siblings identify as LGBTQ+ and Collin has made hateful comments and been violent. If there's not a good look its for Collin. Has he denied it yet? Maybe that's who he is. Not a good look for him or his supporters.[/quote]
Still lots questions, because none of them have seen him since he was 12, and they apparently haven't spoken since he was institutionalized. Is Mady referring to things he said at age 12? That seems a bit extreme. If this is more recent, how was he making the comments and threatening them if they are no contact? And why is Hannah ok with being around Collin if he was so violent to them all? Idk, the timeline is confusing. Also, let's not pretend Mady is perfect. The show is FULL of her beating on her siblings and being mean and hateful to them. Not just when she was little, but also during the later filmings of Kate+8 where she was a pre-teen/teen. She was awful.

Also, Jon's ex-girlfriend's kids are Black and one of them is gay. At some point, all of them were living together. Not sure if Collin still has a relationship with the kids, but he definitely does with Colleen. On his graduation IG post, he shouted Colleen out and she commented a very loving message back. Seems odd, if Collin is so racist and hateful, that Colleen would still want a relationship with him. [/quote]

I think the more important point is, even if Collin as a child said or did “bad” things, that in no ways justifies how he was treated. I’ve noticed that in all his statements he expresses that he misses his siblings and only criticizes Kate. But Mady, instead of actually addressing the claims he made about Kate, attacks him for something totally different (his own behavior). Basically she is justifying Kate’s ostracization of him based on this supposedly bad behavior (which never added up to requiring institutionalization even if everything she says is true). There is ample evidence that Kate was a harsh authoritarian parent and that she treated Collin in a way that is counter to any advice a competent therapist would give. There is zero evidence that Collin engaged in extreme behaviors that justified her conduct. Don’t you think TLC would have jumped all over that?[/quote]

Mady doesn't have to speak up for her mother. She is addressing how all of this affects her. She is getting threatened and she is defending herself and her decisions. Her mother can speak out on her own behalf. [/quote]

She’s getting threatened because like her mother she insists on remaining in the public eye. She’s still young so I don’t blame her. But the way to deal with it with no drama would be to get off the internet with her family’s business. [/quote]
