Katie Goes Full Rebel In Swimsuit Picture

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media react to one of Katie’s cruise trip photos. It was a picture of her drink on top of her bare legs. She was wearing a swimsuit in the photo, and many were shocked by how much skin Katie showed. According to some, it could be Katie’s way to fire a shot at Travis’s affair, seemingly wanting to say that she won and is now living her best life with her husband. Others also think it may be by far the most revealing photo uploaded by a Bates daughter. Regardless, many are rooting for Katie’s newfound happiness.

• “Genuinely surprised she would post this! This must be most revealing thing a Bates daughter has ever posted! ‘The times they are a changing’ 😂”
• “I think 90% of the vacation pics are Katie’s way of giving the middle finger to the AP, like, “Ha ha, I won!.” I’ve known a couple women who got cheated on and thought it was some kind of flex that the husband stayed. Katie has a middle school mindset so I can totally see her falling in that category.”
• “It’s like she’s a completely different person after the cheating scandal. Wasn’t she one of the more conservative from her sisters? Now she’s posting daily body checks and wearing clothes she never has worn before. Like, go Katie! But it’s unfortunate she’s probably only doing it to appear more attractive for Travis so he won’t cheat again.”
• “Most scandalous thing is her legs. Drink is most likely a virgin pina coolata. Hope this pic rials up Travis! Katie is hot and could easily get another man.”
