The news of the cancelation came just days after Carlin Bates Stewart posted a highly controversial video on Instagram. While at a Bates family game night, Carlin recorded a short clip, which was then posted on her Instagram Stories. In the clip, her family was playing charades. One sibling was acting out the word “hunting” when a male in the room shouted, “George Floyd!” Fans found this extremely insensitive, and Carlin received a lot of backlash. Shortly after, she took it down, but it had already caught fans’ attention.

Fans believe this may have caused UPtv to cancel Bringing Up Bates, though this hasn’t been confirmed.
