But she came under fire again when she brought her then-7-month-old son Saint to a red carpet to reportedly save her failing reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Kate Gosselin has been filmed screaming at her eight children on episodes of Kate Plus 8. She finally admitted in an interview that she has been investigated by Child Protective Services before! "I'm in the public eye," she told Good Morning America. "I've been investigated many times." Luckily for Kate, the allegations were "unfounded."
But the bad mom behavior didn't end there. In Robert Hoffman's book of her private diary entries, Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World, the author included excerpts where she admitted to being "too rough" with her special needs son Collin, who is currently at a treatment facility. When Collin refused to sit in the corner after behaving badly, she admitted to being "absolutely awful" to the then-2-year-old. But just four months later, Collin got Kate's wrath when he spilled a bag of beans. "I was instantly so SO angry, that I grabbed him and spanked him as hard as I could and thought I may seriously injure him so I sent him to his crib," she wrote. "I have never felt that I may seriously injure a child but today was that day!"

Kim Zolciak's own daughter Ariana begged her mother to cover up! "I don't feel comfortable that I can see your stomach," she told her mom of her racy outfits. "You dress like you're me. You're not my mom." But Kim didn't understand, as she fired back, "Why? I paid for my stomach! I'm not f*****g dead either! How should I dress?" Kim also came under fire for allowing her 19-year-old daughter Brielle to get lip injections. "Shoot it up!," Kim said on Watch What Happens Live.
Madonna was reportedly so strict that her son ran off to London to live with his father! The singer and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie were involved in a nasty custody battle with Rocco refused to return home to America.

A custody settlement was reached in September.
Farrah Abraham came under fire for calling her daughter "stupid" when she refused to get dressed for a family party. But the monster mom behavior only continued throughout the Teen Mom OG season!

Seven-year-olds are light-hearted when it comes to Snapchat." But she was criticized by fans yet again when she posted a photo of her daughter drinking weight-loss tea.
Meghan Edmonds may not be a monster to her newborn daughter Aspen King, but she can be considered an evil stepmother to husband Jim Edmonds' children!

Hayley's 19… I think Hayley is the most unexcited. I think she's like, 'Ew, dad's having a baby. That's so gross.'" She admitted in June that her relationship with Hayley is "not in a great spot." The teen even skipped her stepmother's baby shower.

"And the only time they see each other is when they pass each other in the hallways at school. It's not the way I want it, you know? I beg and ask that we can fix it, but it's got to be from both sides." RadarOnline.com reported Sidney refuses to spend Christmas with her mother.
