During a special college tour episode of Kate Plus 8, Kate Gosselin acted shocked after her daughter, Hannah, seemingly choose to skip a family trip — but the TV mom’s not exactly telling the truth, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
“So I noticed Hannah’s not here right now,” a show producer asked Gosselin of the 15-year-old’s absence while her older sisters Mady and Cara prepared to head to school.
“She’s with her dad Jon, and she was not able to come,” Kate, 44, told the producer. “And that’s sad. That’s the second trip here, actually, for us that she hasn’t been with us.”
In an on-camera confessional, Kate said, “Hannah … it was sad for us because … you know, they’re getting older, and they’re making different choices, and they’re doing different things. And she opted to stay back with her dad, actually. Which again, you know, her choice.”
“Whatever. It’s not optimal for Mom. But it’s something that I support,” she continued. “And you know, we just, adjust and move on.”

However, a source exclusively told RadarOnline.com that the mom is putting on an act for the cameras.
"Kate saying she is supportive of Hannah is outrageous!” blasted the source. “She has not given her a birthday present. She didn't even tell Hannah about all of these family trips."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Hannah joined her brother, Collin, to live with their dad, who now has full-time custody of the two.
She has been living with Jon since early 2018, and has rarely been spotted with her other siblings since.
Kate, an insider previously told RadarOnline.com, “has made no attempt to see or speak with Collin,” but has kept minimally in touch with her daughter.
“She rarely sees or talks with Hannah, but they do have some contact,” the insider said. “Jon allows her to go over anytime she wants, but Kate never asks her to come.”
After years of icy silence, Jon recently bashed Kate in a new interview, claiming she "mentally tortured" Collin by sending him to a facility for three years.
On October 1, Kate seemed to clap back at her ex, saying others have tried to "destroy" her kids.
