Mady Gosselin, one of the children of TV personalities, Kate and Jon Gosselin, recently addressed the effect of online trolling on her family. Mady's message comes two months after her brother Collin disclosed that he believes growing up in front of cameras broke his family. The 22-year-old shared a video on TikTok on the 4th of February speaking about the different comments made by fans and the traumas she and her siblings faced during their childhood. She also urged fans to respect the privacy of her family, her twin sister Cara and the 18-year-old sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Leah, Joel, Alexis, and Aaden. Mady Gosselin says that she and her siblings should not be judged by their on-screen lives Instagram "This is the singular time I'm going to address this because it is sending me over the edge. 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," she explained in the TikTok video. "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."

"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 said. "There seems to be a public consensus that if you're in the public eye, your entire life belongs to the public and that is in no way true. Regardless of whatever narrative you have created in your head from what you've seen, my siblings are doing so well. 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."

"As upsetting as it is to hear this, you are not entitled to that information about their lives or about my life," Mady said. "What I share on social media is my choice and you are not entitled to anything more than that. I'm sorry if that's hard to hear, but that is a boundary that I have set for myself and for what I share on here about my family, and if you can't respect it, then unfollow me or I'll block you." Instagram The child star concluded her message by advising people to bring empathy, love, and decency into all of their conversations even on social media. "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," she offered. "Yes, there is nothing stopping you from commenting these things except for yourself. You should choose to be kind to people and respect their privacy on the Internet."
