Katie Bates Clark Gets Honest About Filming ‘Bringing Up Bates’
Former Bringing Up Bates star Katie Bates Clark is opening up to fans about filming the show. She hasn’t shared too much in the past, but now, she’s had an opportunity to share how she really felt about the show. So, what did Katie spill? Keep reading for her honest truth.
The Bates family’s UPtv show abruptly came to an end due to the network trying to go in a different direction with content. Prior to the cancelation, the Bates kids spent years in front of the cameras. Season 11, which is the one that was in production at the time of the cancelation, highlighted Katie’s wedding to Travis and all of the planning that went on. Now, that season is available to stream for free.
Though the show was canceled, Katie still has some things to say about it.
Katie Bates Clark Gets Honest About Filming Bringing Up Bates
In a recent YouTube video, Katie Bates Clark got real with her followers. She revealed that she had a choice when it came to being filmed. This might come as a surprise because the Duggar kids (19 Kids & Counting and Counting On) seemed to have much less of a say.
There were times when Katie wasn’t able to opt out, such as when she was younger or when the whole family was being filmed at home. But she claimed that her parents did give her a choice when it came to interviews. This gave her the opportunity to sit out if she didn’t feel like being filmed. She said her parents didn’t ever force her or her siblings to film Bringing Up Bates. In the video, she also added that she took six months off from doing interviews on the show.
This is something she hasn’t really talked about in the past. So, it has certainly caught fans’ attention.
Fans React To New Details
On Reddit, fans are discussing these new details Katie disclosed. One said it was “cool to hear” this because fans previously knew so little about what went on behind the scenes.
Another fan added, “A green flag on that front is how they -gasp- respected Josie and Alyssa not wanting their births to be filmed.”
Others think she’s lying to keep the peace with her parents, Gil and Kelly Bates. After all, she may not want to publicly blast them. Nonetheless, fans are pretty impressed with this reveal.
So, does it shock you that Katie and her siblings had a say when it came to filming? What do you think of this big reveal? Sound off in the comments section below, and come back to TV Shows Ace for more Bringing Up Bates news.
