Bringing Up Bates star Kelton Balka, the husband of Josie Bates is taking the heat for a strange message he shared on social media. He dedicated a post to his toddler daughter, Willow, on her birthday in July, but it has recently resurfaced.
He shared a few photos of himself and his daughter on her birthday, and he also wrote a lengthy message for her to read when she gets older.
In his post, he wrote, “Willow, thank you for making me a dad. God has used you to change my perspective on life and I love you more than I knew could be possible. Among other things, I pray every day for you that you would grow up to love and serve Jesus with all your heart and I pray for you and your future spouse, that you would remain pure until marriage and that the Lord would prepare your hearts for each other. ”
Bringing Up Bates fans find the message ‘creepy’
On Instagram, a fan submitted an anonymous confession to Duggar Bates Confessions. The confession reads, “Kelton’s birthday post for Willow was extremely disturbing. Why is he so concerned with a two year old’s purity? That’s disgusting.”
In response to the confession, other fans are chatting about Kelton’s post and how they feel about it. Many think it was “strange,” “creepy,” or “disgusting.”
One fan is especially upset and comments, “Kelton, you are a sick Dad! There are much sweeter things to say to a toddler! You worry me, sir, bigtime! UGH! Always felt bad vibes with this guy! MAJOR bad vibes! Sicko!”
Another adds, “Yeah this post was sick af Who in their right mind is wishing purity until marriage on a 2 year old. These creeps need to stop posting their weird comments like this or everyone’s gonna be getting josh vibes from them!”
Someone else writes, “Stay a virgin, your future spouse DESERVES it! Oh, and by the way happy birthday two year old! Gross. That whole thing is just gross.”
