Josie’s Husband Faces Backlash Over Scam Business

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media are calling out Kelton following his promotional post on an FB group. Kelton was endorsing his plumbing company, proudly sharing the quality of his service and work. However, it didn’t take long before many people left complaints in the comments section. Some slammed him for overcharging, while others questioned his credibility, as they had never seen him do any plumbing. Another commenter claimed that Kelton had to hire a separate cleanup team for the job, and some of his employees couldn’t even install a faucet properly.

• “He’s been a plumber for 18 years? Am I reading that right? How old is he, 30-ish?”
• “Like so many other industries, I really wish there was more regulation in plumbing. You shouldn’t call one plumber and get a price for a job that is 80% higher than if you called another. You shouldn’t get one plumber suggesting an unnecessary service while another does not.”
• “I feel like feeding into all these “hate comments” is not a good look at all. You cannot call yourself a professional and hit them with the “ouch man””
• “more from scammy Kelton. I’ve noticed him asking for reccomendations to get pizza and bbq as if he doesn’t know where to go. he’s not even in oak ridge. I assume it’s to try and become familiar to people here as nobody mentions his company when looking for a plumber.”
