Kate Gosselin allegedly admitted to hurting her kids in a private journal leaked by Radar Online. The tell-all compilation, entitled "Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled The World," was re-released by author Robert Hoffman to expose the "Kate Plus 8" star's bad parenting.
The entries reportedly came from the reality star's personal diary penned from 2006 and 2007, where she detailed her woes about her then-husband Jon Gosselin. The two divorced in 2009.
What reportedly raised concerns about the journal were the details about how Kate Gosselin allegedly treated her kids: 15-year old twins Mady and Cara and 11-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel.
A 2006 entry revealed how the reality star spanked a then five-year-old Mady.
"Mady was grouchy and received a few spankings with the spanker that newly joined the emergency supply stash in the big blue bus!" Kate Gosselin allegedly wrote.
The "spanker" is said to be the wooden spoon that she uses to punish her kids.
The controversial mother also reportedly wrote about how she threw a then two-year-old Leah into the bath for soiling herself while napping.
"The poor little thing was shaking with coldness or fear," she allegedly said.
Kate Gosselin also reportedly confessed to getting extremely angry at a then two-year-old Collin for knocking down three highchairs to the floor.
"I grabbed him and spanked him as hard as I could," she allegedly wrote. "I thought I may seriously injure him so I sent him to his crib and whipped him into it very hard!"
After going through turbulent years as a mother to eight young children, Kate Gosselin and her kids are supposedly doing better now that they are older.
Reading Eagle reported that the single mom is even open to dating again now that her children are teenagers.
"It's been six single years, and I've been focusing on my kids during that time which keeps me busy to say the least," she said.
"This year I decided to take some time to see what it's like to be back out in the dating world."
However, the TV personality pointed out how dating has been weird since her children will also soon begin meeting boys and girls.
"The weirdest part is that I have teenagers now who are just around the corner from being able to date as well," Kate Gosselin said.
"The conversations throughout this season are pretty surreal due to the strange parallels in our lives."
