Bringing Up Bates: Fans Think Katie Bates Had No Choice

Some Reddit users from the same thread also speculated that Katie doesn’t have a choice but to start promoting due to possible deadlines. Others also recalled that she just had her stent removed, which would have made her feel completely back to normal.

“Those brand deals probably have deadlines as to when you are supposed to have a video up by,” one Redditor said.
“Having a stent in is miserable. As soon as that stent comes out (as long as the stone is gone), then you feel almost 100% back to normal immediately. It’s not surprising that she is able to film videos or do her make up after her stent came out,” another commenter added.
