The Bringing Up Bates star shuts down the parent-shamers.

Due to the backlash, Katie decided to shut down the parent-shamers once and for all. She shared a lengthy statement on her Instagram Stories on Thursday evening. She also shared the same statement in a comment on her YouTube video about Hailey getting her ears pierced.

In the comment, Katie explained that she had issues with her ear piercings at the age of 20. She had infections and all kinds of problems. She wanted to help her own daughter avoid this, which is why she wanted to get them pierced when she was still young. This way, Katie and Travis can care for her piercings as they heal.

Part of her statement reads:

“After researching and taking into account my personal experience, we made the decision to pierce Hailey’s ears now. If you disagree, you’re allowed to. I respect everyone’s decision and believe each parent is responsible for that decision. There are a lot of things we may give our children that they never “consent” for (shots, medicine, food, clothes, bracelets, sunglasses, hats, etc…) What you do or give your children is up to you. We’re raising Hailey the best we can and we love her more than anything!”
