Now, fans are dragging them for their lack of originality once again.

Bringing Up Bates fans accuse Carlin of copying Josie.

On Reddit, a Bringing Up Bates fan shared a new screenshot from Carlin Bates Stewart’s Instagram Stories about the Bates Sisters Boutique. The boutique is run by Carlin and her sister-in-law Whitney Bates.

The fan pointed out that Whitney and Carlin are launching a jewelry collection and noted that Josie offers jewelry at her online store, The Effortless Shop. Josie previously sold hair accessories in her store but expanded and began selling jewelry last month. The fan implied that Carlin decided to copy Josie’s idea.

Others set the record straight about the Bates sisters.

In the comments section of the Reddit post, fans were quick to correct the fan who suggested Carlin and Whitney were copying Josie. Several pointed out that Carlin and Whitney have carried jewelry in their boutique for a while now. They are simply launching a new collection for the holidays.

So, they actually had this idea prior to Josie launching her jewelry line at the Effortless Shop. A Reddit user noted that Carlin and Whitney have offered jewelry at the Bates Sisters Boutique since June 2022, while Josie’s only launched at The Effortless Shop in October 2022.

Some fans had no idea that Carlin and Whitney offered jewelry before this. It sounds like there’s a lot of confusion about who copies who. One fan said, “This is what y’all mean when you say people often mistake Josie for doing something before Carlin. Not that it truly matters, but it supports a false narrative of Carlin as a follower.”

In this case, it’s possible that Josie copied Carlin and Whitney, though she could have come up with the idea all on her own instead.

So, do you agree that the Bates sisters are lacking originality? Do you think they seem to copy each other? Sound off in the comments section below, and come back to TV Shows Ace for more news about the Bringing Up Bates stars.
