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.

My grandmother told me once I was getting flabby - and I’m a guy! I drank a few less beers over the next few days.
Looks that way!
Who gives a damn? No one thought Barbara Bush was a nice person, so are we supposed to be surprised? Did it ruin your life, Jenna?
Of all the Nepo Babies in the US (as in, children whose success is entirely based on who their parent/parents are), Jenna Bush wins the prize as the Nepo Babiest of the Nepo Babies.
She should just shut up and keep playing along as if she belongs on TV.
When I was an angry teen and got an earring to go with my mohawk hair-cut, my grandfather asked: “you’re not a faggot, are you?”
Always loved granddad’s total willingness to speak whatever came into his mind. Its a sign of a very honest and reliable person.

Boohoo. Now grow up kid.
My mom will tell me I’m too heavy and 10 minutes later offer me cookies…
:-)
Sheesh. Everybody is a victim... and then they cash in by fleecing the hypnotic TMZ/celebrity worshiping crowd.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
I guess you are a Chelsea Clinton fan, because I think C.C. is much worse.
Oh you poor little victim. Boo hoo.
Barbara was a tranny. Such a nice family.
Because Barbara had the body of a goddess. [eye roll] I can see her doing that, though. It seems that she was a nasty piece of work.
GFY Bush family!
I heard, from a horse’s mouth, you won’t find anything but praise for Barbara Bush from the Secret Service agents that were assigned to her. After she died, there was a flood of agents who volunteered to stand beside her coffin, on their own time, as honor guards.
Hahaha!
Many grandparents have these qualities, and tell it like it is.
Like the grandma in Hillbilly Elegy, they drive us on to be better persons and to succeed in life.
That’s why J. D. Vance is a U. S. Senator today.
I’ve had much worse said to me. Do we really need adults who can’t take the slightest bit of criticism, or know when to ignore it?
God bless her!
