‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Katie Bates’ Shocking Announcement
Katie rocked the online world earlier this week after sharing a lengthy message, revealing her status with her family. According to the Bringing Up Bates star, she lost relationships with the majority of her family after opening up about her childhood trauma. She later shared another IG Stories, saying that her family didn’t respond with honesty and support.
Instead, some of them chose to distance themselves. Others attempted to “minimize” and avoid talking about uncomfortable truths. Katie had had enough and revealed that she’s no longer staying silent about it.

Katie Deletes Numerous Photos With Family Amid Fallout
Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed Katie’s IG activities since announcing her fallout with her family. According to the OP, they noticed that Katie deleted numerous photos with her family, which includes her parents, Gil and Kelly Jo. One of them was a photo from 2021, in which she shared sweet pictures with her parents as she and Travis decided to move to New Jersey.

Another fan mentioned that the reel of Travis calling Gil to say goodnight was deleted as well. This suggests that Gil and Kelly Jo play a significant role in why Katie fell out with the family. Katie didn’t delete a certain advertisement clip with Kelly Jo, and many fans are not happy about it. It was the time they went to CVS to pick out a birthday gift for Gil.
- “She also deleted a reel of Travis calling Gil to say “goodnight,” and I think the reel of Kelly getting a new car is gone too. ETA: the reel of her and Kelly going to CVS and the reel of her picking out Gil’s birthday gift are still up. So idk.”
- “she prob has to keep that up due to her CVS partnership!”
- “Great catch, I wonder if she’s done the same with any other photos. If it was deleted recently, it would appear her parents are at least partially involved, whether directly or by covering something up/ sweeping something under the rug that happened when she was younger.
