Alexis Gosselin's Rare Appearance Amid Heartbreaking Family Drama

Alexis Gosselin, 21, made a rare appearance in one of her mom Kate's social media videos just days after her brother Collin made heartbreaking comments about him and his siblings being 'forced apart'

SCANDAL ROCKS GOSSELIN FAMILY: KATE'S SHOCKING NEW VIDEO LEAVES FANS REELING

In a dramatic turn of events, Alexis Gosselin, 21, has made her first public appearance since her brother Collin's explosive allegations against their mother Kate. The family drama unfolded on Saturday when Kate, 50, shared a video of herself packing for work, with fans tuning in to see how she would address the ongoing controversy.

But what they got was a heartwarming moment between Kate and Alexis as they shared a tender goodbye kiss before Alexis departed. However, this sweet moment couldn't erase the elephant in the room – Collin's devastating claims that he and his siblings were "forced apart" by their mother's actions.

Kate, 50, was making a video explaining the food she was preparing for her 12 hour nursing shift, when Alexis quietly walked up behind her

For those who may be new to the drama, let us fill you in: Collin, 22, went public with a tear-jerking post on Thursday, sharing throwback photos from their reality TV days. In a heartfelt message, he wrote, "Forced apart, pitted against each other... All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids?"

Kate's response? Crickets. But, as fans eagerly awaited her reaction, she dropped a new video on social media that showed her packing for work – business as usual. However, Alexis' brief appearance brought some much-needed levity to an otherwise tense situation.

But let's get back to the juicy stuff. Collin's allegations against Kate have been brewing for years, with his most recent claims resurfacing in Vice's documentary series "The Dark Side of 2000s." According to Collin, Kate would lock him in the basement as punishment using zip ties on his arms and legs. This disturbing revelation sparked a heated debate among fans, with some calling for Kate to face consequences.

Interrupting her story to give her daughter a hug, Kate told her, 'Ride carefully, and text me when you get there, please,' Alexis could be heard replying, 'Love you'

As fans poured in their reactions to the new video, opinions were divided. One passionate fan wrote, "You should be in jail for what you did to Collin." Another chimed in, "Still got that narcissistic vibe," while others jumped to Kate's defense. "So happy to see you... I respect her," one fan wrote.

The drama doesn't end there, folks! In 2016, Collin was institutionalized at the age of 12 after Kate claimed he had behavioral issues. However, in a shocking twist, Jon Gosselin (Kate's ex-husband) revealed that a doctor told him Collin didn't have the problems his mother claimed.

After a long and grueling battle for sole custody, Collin and sister Hannah joined their dad Jon full-time. But what about Kate's response to all this? Well, we're still waiting for her to weigh in on the drama. Perhaps Alexis' brief appearance is an indication that Kate is finally addressing these allegations head-on?

On Thursday, Collin, who, along wit Alexa is one of the sextuplets from the show Jon & Kate plus 8 clamed on social he he and his siblings had been' Forced apart, pitted against each other'
