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 an awfully low bar to be considered "body shaming".

And if she became a fat blob she’d be write-complaining about how her family didn’t care about her, and just let her keep eating and getting fatter.

Little Bush and grandma Bush have proven to crackpots of the First Order.

What next, she suffered some sort of abuse as a child, or was raped in college...

What is it with these privileged women in their 20s to 40s suddenly coming out to tell everyone what a victim they are and how awful their families were to them in their youth. Life is rough and some of us had worse times than others. It’s life. If you survived then thank God for your blessings. Having your grandmother tell you that you needed to lose weight is not the worse thing that can happen.

“biting personality”
****************************

Barbara Bush was a recovered alcoholic who I suspect had a mean streak in her. But why bring this up publicly now, other than you want to whine to everybody how you were a poor abused victim? She’s just trash like the rest of the Bush clan.

Now that she mentions it, her grandmom was right.
