Kathy Bates' niece bans her Instagram: A protection against hate comments!

Kathy Bates, the legendary actress, has revealed a surprising secret: her niece Linda has banned her from her Instagram account! The decision comes after the 76-year-old Hollywood icon explained that Linda was worried her aunt would be influenced by the often negative comments on social media. "I'm not allowed to be on Instagram because my niece thinks that after five million positive comments, I'll focus on the one negative one," Bates said in an interview with E! News. This concerned measure shows how intense feedback in the digital world can have on some celebrities, even those who have already won an Oscar and multiple Emmy Awards, like Kathy Bates.

Kathy Bates' remarkable career

Kathy Bates, known for films like “Misery,” recently made a comeback by landing a role in the new reboot of “Matlock.” This possibility caused a stir after the actress had recently thought about the possible end of her career. Bates admitted that it was becoming increasingly challenging for older actors to find interesting roles in which they could really showcase their talent. “I think as you get older it becomes harder to find roles that allow you to spread your wings,” she added. Despite all the challenges, Kathy Bates remains a shining example of perseverance in the film industry.

Instagram's ban shows her family's concern and how close they are. As “VIPly” reports, Linda is close to her aunt and only wants the best for her. So while Kathy Bates makes a remarkable comeback, she also remains under the protection of her niece, who wants to make sure her aunt sees the positive side of her career and not the dark side of social media.
