Katie Makes Fans Sick

Despite Katie’s adorable content about her daughter on social media, some Bringing Up Bates fans think she goes too far, especially when she uses her child to endorse a product. A Reddit user also discovered that most of Katie Bates Clark’s IG clips with her child have millions of views, and many find it disturbing. Here are some of the comments Gil and Kelly Jo’s daughter received.

“Katie must have insane luck bc how do her videos of her simply doing arts and crafts with her baby get millions of views? I don’t understand like they are the most boring couple and their posts are nothing special. Literally almost every reel they post blows up.”
“That’s what happens when you exploit your child on the internet. I don’t know how they sleep at night.”
“It’s because the baby is cute and most likely it’s people viewing it to steal the footage for their own usage. They pimp that baby out hardcore and have sold their souls in the process.”
“I would feel sick to my stomach knowing millions of eyes have seen my baby girl. Gives me the creeps.”
“Or how many saved or screenshoted. Sick to my stomach thinking about potentially who and why.”
“I actually feel sick thinking about this. My partner is a lawyer and he has all kinds of sick and sad stories about this. I have 3 grandkids and if I ever share photos it’s to a select group of family/friends I trust and with my daughter’s knowledge and permission. How can these people do this to their kids? Do they not understand what kinds of things people can do?”

Bringing Up Bates: Katie Bates Remains Positive

Katie remains unbothered by all the criticism she’s been receiving. She even made headlines earlier this month after being accused of “blanket training” her child. But the Bringing Up Bates star remains positive in life. She was also seen in the Bates family’s recent “I Love You Day,” though she didn’t dress up as any characters from their theme, Little House on the Prairie. Some were also left in awe with her latest handprint frame project with Hailey and Travis.
