They are both aware that they are overweight, and while Bridgette is not affected by the hate, Michael is more offended at the fact that people would say this to a woman. In early August of 2016, Michael addressed an incident that a fan took a picture of him and Bridgette at a Wal-Mart in North Charleston and posted it on their social media to hurt their feelings about their weight gain. She has yet to go through with the video and it's unlikely that she ever will, especially since Grandpa is now deceased. However, she deleted this update video on her channel, and there are rumors that a fan offered her a princess gown for free but she declined.
Bridgette also made an excuse that she couldn't found an affordable gown to buy and she doesn't want to buy something cheap as she feels the fans would feel cheated if it weren't as humiliating as possible. However, many fans did not buy this reason and continued to reprimand her for not doing the video. Michael claims that the reason why she didn't do it is because she was diagnosed with ovarian cysts and had to take medications which gained her weight, causing her to feel embarrassed. When the main channel (TheAngryGrandpaShow) reached 200,000 subscribers, she was told by Grandpa to get a white gown, gloves, and tiara, and to go eat with Grandpa at Olive Garden. She appears in almost all of the Angry Grandpa videos made from 2010 onward, and she also has her own YouTube channel, BridgetteWest.
