However, a new discussion thread suggests that a “forced marriage” happened recently in the family. Keep reading to see why.

‘Bringing Up Bates‘: Katie Bates Steps Away From The Family

Katie made headlines earlier this year after announcing that she lost “90%” of her relationship with her family. According to the Bringing Up Bates star, she addressed a part of her traumatic childhood, but almost nobody from the family supported her. Instead, some of them remained silent, leading to her decision to cut ties with them. Katie and Travis eventually moved to Texas, and the two are now documenting their healing journey not just from cutting ties with the Bates family but also from Travis’ cheating scandal. Gil and Kelly Jo remain discreet about their status with Katie. But some fans think the two just made another questionable decision for one of their kids, resulting in a “forced marriage.”

Fans Think A Forced Marriage Happened In The Family

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed the possibility of a forced wedding. According to the OP, they believe Warden was forced to marry to “correct” his behavior. Many people have seen Warden’s rebellious behavior. Multiple women have surfaced over the past few months, making claims that Warden tried to flirt with them. He was also spotted numerous times on social media liking photos and clips of women wearing revealing clothing. Others questioned how quickly Warden progressed with Kaybrie, leading to their wedding at young ages.

• “Yep and they jumped for him to marry his latest fling.”
• “Yes. That poor girl is a sacrificial lamb.”
• “Yes. It was an arranged marriage. Apparently we are not allowed to talk about the public pictures and places Warden traveled with a very special friend (who also had a forced arranged marriage a month before Warden, and he did not attend even though he shared a townhouse with this person and shared a business and years of traveling the world).”
• “Yeah his roommate not inviting him to his wedding after the history of travel and hang outs they had together was an interesting choice.”
• “People aren’t going to like it, but yes. Kelly and Gil absolutely pay attention to what’s said online. Remember Gil is an authority in IBLP. A son that has a dozen women coming after him for being an f-boi doesn’t reflect great on an IBLP leader dad. It’s almost guaranteed Gil sat him down, told him to mature and settle down.”
