Bringing Up Bates star Katie Bates continues to receive sympathy from fans following her husband’s infidelity. She’s been showing her strong side by hustling online, even without the presence of Travis Clark. However, some fans are starting to compare Katie to one of the Bates family’s friends, Anna Duggar. Keep reading to see why.

What Happened To Anna Duggar?

Many fans were able to witness one of the darkest times in the Duggar family when Josh was arrested for CSAM. He’s currently serving his 12.5 years in prison and is expected to be released in 2032. Since then, many fans have watched Anna closely, although she has been inactive online since the imprisonment of her husband.

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on Reddit discussed why Katie Bates may be the new Anna Duggar. According to the OP, the two have a similar situation today. While Travis is not as vile as Josh, it’s clear that both Anna and Katie both had to accept what their respective husbands did and forgive them as if nothing happened.

The poster also believes that Katie will never trust Travis again, but they will make content out of Travis’s “redemption,” hoping to inspire other couples. However, there are others who believe that Katie is in a much better position than Anna today.

• “Anna did not have the ability to have sponsors and brand deals like Katie. Katie is gorgeous and likable. Katie can generate more income than Anna could have. I do not think the Bates will shun her if she divorces. It may not be in her control since Travis seems checked out of the marriage.”
• “I believe the same thing… They will speak at marriage conferences together…”
• “As a Christian myself, you aren’t wrong. All correct. SO much depression and anxiety in store for her. All masked and suppressed, of course. Literal crap.”
• “Agreed OP. If your husband cheats, it’s the wife’s fault, according to Gothard beliefs. She wasn’t sexually available enough, agreeable enough, submissive enough.”
• “Katie is in a much better position. She has half the kids Anna had, an actual home whereas Anna lived in a literally ware home and she also has an income from Instagram which pays a considerate amount.”
