TikToker Nita Morton’s excitement turned to disappointment when she attended a Bridgerton-themed ball in Detroit, Michigan. The event promised sophistication, grace, and historical charm, but guests were met with soggy noodles, chicken bones, melancholy decor, and even a pole dancer.
Nita, along with other attendees who paid nearly $200 for a ticket, expressed their frustration over the lackluster event, comparing it to high school parties. The blunder quickly went viral on social media, with guests complaining it was a “scam.”
Guests dressed in their finest outfits were left sitting on the floor due to a lack of chairs, and some even left early for fast food when the food ran out. The event, organized by Uncle & Me LLC, did not respond to requests for comment but stated they were working to address concerns.
Attendees shared their experiences of the disappointing ball, with some noting the improperly cooked chicken and lack of entertainment promised. The company issued an apology and stated they were working to address all concerns raised by guests.
Similar to other recent event debacles, such as the Fyre festival and the Willy Wonka experience, guests are left wondering what will happen next. Despite the disappointment, fans of Bridgerton may still hold out hope for a future event that lives up to the glamour and charm of the Regency era.
