Jenna Bush Hager: I was Body-Shamed by Grandma Barbara When I Was a Teen
New York Post ^

Jenna Bush Hager wanted to “hide” when her grandma Barbara Bush body-shamed her as a teenager.

The former first daughter was wearing a yellow bikini when her grandparent stated she was “looking chubby,” Bush Hager recently told “Today” show viewers.

The journalist clarified last week that she “adored” her family member, who died in 2018, despite her “biting personality.” The former first lady apologized to her granddaughter years after the comment, explaining to Bush Hager that she had been “talking to [herself]” since her own mother, Pauline Pierce, “said those types of things” to her growing up.

That’s what most Grandparents do: bluntly say out loud what Mom and Dad tiptoe around. Get over it. She was trying to help.

I only wish I had a grandma as a kid. This is just disgusting! Shame on you for attacking your grandma for telling the truth.
She was well within her rights to say that - maybe nobody else would. Hang your head.

If you can talk about it so cavalierly, it wasn't that big a deal.

My wife had such brutal treatment as a child that she never speaks of it. She only talks to me about it and that's rarely. Her brothers and sister had to fill me in on the rest. They are all surprised she lived through it all.

This constant fake victimization insults real victims.

>>She and Valerie Bertinelli both.<<

Yes, I’ve been thinking that about Valerie too. Whatever happened to that nice girl from long ago?
