We spoke with only a few of the attendees after the bare-bones affair — which was not affiliated with the streaming service — and they also dished to TMZ what went down all through their underwhelming time on the “Bridgerton” ball.
Katrina from Detroit tells TMZ … she spent $450 on basic tickets, and an additional $650 on attire, hair and make-up. However, when she arrived on the extraordinarily anticipated ball, she witnessed an understaffed event … the place there was nothing nevertheless prolonged traces for “horrible” backdrops.
There was no person checking tickets on the door, and the promised keep leisure was solely a violinist, one pole dancer, and a random man in non-themed garments doing the “Cha Cha Slide.”

Attendees have been so offended and let down, phrase of a doable class movement lawsuit has even circulated on-line.
Nonetheless, a minimum of one entertainer was blissful. Expert aerialist Tink tells TMZ … she was dealt with very properly by ball organizers, noting she was paid $800 to hold out 3 pole models — which solely took an hour.
Tink says she acquired a “warmth” welcome on the ball … though, she would possibly inform many have been “confused” by her presence. It might’ve been her routine to “Strikes Like Jagger” that threw people off … nevertheless, in her safety, the organizers requested her to hold out it.
All in all, the experience wasn’t the Diamond of the Season … further similar to the Coal of the Yr.
