Bridgerton Controversy: Detroit Party Fails With Kool-Aid Pole Dancer

Bridgerton Controversy: Detroit Party Fails With Kool-Aid Pole Dancer

The concert organizers posted a video on social media of the Bridgerton party held in Detroit on Sunday. Guests at the party were seen dressed up and dancing the night away, but some say that’s not the real story.

“This event was really lacking in effort — it lacked class and respect,” said Nita Morton.

Nita Morton and her sister are huge fans of the Netflix series Bridgerton, set in 19th century London and about high society and nobility. The two spent a lot of money — Morton’s sister flew in from Florida — and they had high expectations.

“This is very serious for us,” she said. “We were very excited. And as I said, she was very excited because she got a dress that was specially designed for her.

“I put some effort into my outfit – and I expect you to put some effort into this event.”

Event planning company Uncle & Me LLC had already postponed and changed the venue once, before Sunday’s show at Harmonie Club.

Morton says the food was inadequate, served on plastic plates, the decorations were from a discount store, and the bar was blue Kool-Aid, which they had to pay for.

The dining on the first floor was very crowded, but the other floors were not.

FOX 2: “No chairs?”

“There were no chairs. There was a chair for the Queen to sit on, but there were no chairs for anyone else to sit on, and again this is a party,” she said. “We’re wearing high heels – we’re dressed up, we need to sit down.”

Then – as you say – there was the entertainment.

“The artist walks into the room and the first thing she does is give a high kick and we see inappropriate things that we shouldn’t see at a party,” Morton said.

Many on social media considered the pole dancing inappropriate for a concert. They said the only other entertainment was a young violinist who had to play non-stop for four hours.

Now a Facebook page has appeared threatening a lawsuit, and the story has been picked up by everyone from the BBC to People magazine.

As for organizers Chelsea Bird and her uncle Jeremy Scott, there was only an Instagram post saying they were working to address all concerns.

“There’s nothing to work on – it’s just reversing the payment and sending people’s money back,” Morton said.

FOX 2: “How much did you pay for your ticket?”

“I paid about $170,” she said.

FOX 2: “How much did you spend on your clothes, hair, and makeup?”

“My clothes cost about $250 — my hair cost $200,” Morton said, listing off the items she paid for in preparation.

Nearly a thousand dollars – for a magical night – was not quite up to expectations.

“At least I got to meet some lovely people,” she said. “Seeing these people walking down the aisles — some wearing top hats — with canes — was a great movie. I expected that from the event at least.”
