Unfortunately for Gosselin and her daughters though, they apparently didn't get any VIP treatment despite their celebrity status. The trio were forced to sit so far away from the stage that the girls needed binoculars to see the band.

Gosselin tweeted on Thursday, "Fun time with my girls at the @onedirection concert Tuesday evening! Mady realized her 1D dream (even though we needed binoculars! LOL!).

Kate Gosselin's Rumored Boyfriend Leaves Her

Meanwhile, Gosselin has recently been accused of "scamming" her best friend before publishing her first book.

Radar Online reported last Monday that Gosselin's friend, Beth, says she didn't get the credit or money deserved when she helped her write the book. The book was meant to be a joint collaboration between Gosselin and her friend, but apparently Gosselin and her ex-husband Jon refused to give her a cut from the profits that she would have received for her work.

"We agreed on a 50/50 split and it was fair, although I did do all the writing, absolutely, did all the writing... it was without a doubt Kate's story," Beth told Radar. "She told me the story and I wrote it. Absolutely, I wanted to take nothing away from the fact that it was her story. But I put a lot of work into it."
