Bridgerton ball: Inside ‘scam’ event in Detroit compared to Wonka

Kimberley, meanwhile, said her “jaw dropped” when the pole dancer’s performance began.

“We were promised a Bridgerton-themed musical performance, but we were not expecting a pole dance,” she said.

Other entertainment included a Queen Charlotte act, one of the characters from the show.

But another guest, Amanda Sue Mathis, felt she was hardly regal – sitting in “a cheap costume” with a backdrop that looked like it was “purchased at a dollar store”, with a “fake stuffed dog” sitting on her lap.

The photographer, meanwhile, was only able to airdrop pictures, says Nita.

It meant people with Android phones resorted to taking pictures of his phone.

And while there was a violinist, she was having to perform across three floors, Nita said.
