It’s been an emotional month for the family, especially with Mama Jane and Papa Bill’s health crisis. But Kelly Jo continues to stay positive. However, some fans were surprised by her latest post for Ellie, seemingly hinting at her “distance” from the family. Keep reading to see her statements.
Bringing Up Bates: How’s Ellie Bates Today?
Ellie made headlines last month after turning 18. This made a lot of Bringing Up Bates fans wonder if she’s already considering courtship. Kelly Jo also shared a lengthy message for her daughter, saying that she’s amazed by her strong personality. Ellie is known for being one of Gil and Kelly Jo’s rebellious daughters. Some fans believe it was due to her close relationship with her brother, Warden, who’s also one of the most mischievous kids in the family, putting on fake tattoos numerous times. But some fans think Ellie’s personality has also become an issue for Kelly Jo.
Kelly Jo Hints At Ellie’s ‘Distance’ To Family
Some fans on social media react to Kelly Jo Bates’ recent IG Stories post. The Bringing Up Bates star made two separate posts for Addallee and Ellie. But what caught the attention of many was how different her messages were for the two. Kelly Jo expressed how proud she was of Addallee’s “Christian maturity,” adding that she’s the best blessing she could ever have.
But Kelly Jo’s message for Ellie tells a different story. Ellie sent Kelly Jo a sweet Mother’s Day message. But Kelly Jo responded by saying that she feels “underserving” due to her “mess-ups” in parenting, which she only mentioned for Ellie. This made some commenters think that it’s a hint of Ellie’s possible rift with her parents.
- “”Mess-ups in parenting” = you’re more rebellious than we’d like you to be, and we’re going to subtly hint at this whilst maintaining a sweet and happy tone.”
- “Not even very subtly. Flat-out “we must have screwed up parenting you because you’re a rebellious little cuss, but I love you anyway.””
- “I noticed the difference in the messaging too. I normally don’t like to jump to conclusions (because I’m normally wrong), but I def think there was some kind of rift or she doesn’t like to conform to their rules. So if that is the case GO ELLIE.”
- “she definitely likes to push the limits. I feel like if warden had his own place she would have moved out the day she turned 18 and lived with him. She wants out of that house so bad you can tell. Hey we see her in Florida with Alyssa a lot more often now.”
