View source


Douglas Brian "Doug" West (March 2, 1967- Janurary 6, 2024) was the ex-husband of Cindy, the father of Timothy and Bridgette West, the brother-in-law of Angry Grandpa, the father-in-law of Michael Green, Jennifer Green, Charlie Green and Kimberly Pratt, and the biological grandfather of Mia Nicole Green and Michael Green Jr. He served as one of the main antagonists of the series, along with Charlie Green and Tina.

Description

Doug was the father of Bridgette West. When Doug was first introduced, he was said to have only met Michael a handful of times. Michael was able to convince him to participate in a prank, making Grandpa believe that he was Michael's real dad. After the prank, it was revealed to Grandpa that he was actually Bridgette's father. It was later noted that Doug had actually met Grandpa a couple of years earlier.

Doug appeared again in GRANDPA'S BROKEN BED!, helping Grandpa fix his damaged bed after Michael broke it during the first "Hop On Pop" prank.

In MEET MR. FIX IT! (SERIOUSLY, WE'RE IDIOTS!), it's revealed that Doug was a very good handyman, easily fixing Michael and Bridgette's garbage disposal and installing a screen on Michael and Bridgette's screen door. He installed Grandpa's new front door after he smashed the previous one in ANGRY GRANDPA SHATTERS FRONT DOOR!!.

Doug & Grandpa

Doug and Grandpa in ANGRY GRANDPA VS DOUG!!

Doug would regularly appear in episodes of TheAngryGrandpaShow and KidBehindACamera between 2015 and 2017, participating in vlogs, cookouts, challenges and pranks.

In April 2019, Doug had a falling out with Bridgette and did not appear in videos for some time, aside from Michael's 2020 documentary. This happened because while Bridgette and Doug got into an argument through texts about YouTube money, saying that he was never paid, Doug said he wanted nothing to do with them if they lost the baby. Enraged, Michael completely cut ties with Doug from their life and stated that he will never meet their daughter.

Prior to his death, Doug had his own YouTube channel, "Duggie2 West". Most of his videos involved him talking about Michael and Bridgette, rather than his own life. He would often go on rants about their weight, and how Michael "brainwashed" Bridgette, making her fat like him. Michael and Bridgette may have gained a lot of weight ever since they started dating, but Doug has weight issues of his own, and publicly speaks about his own daughter in disparaging ways. Doug would often make videos spreading rumors about Grandpa and how he was a "child molester", which is the exact same thing Charlie Chill said about Grandpa. This is one of the things that ruined his reputation with Michael which the latter finally addressed on both a YouTube video and video on April 23rd, 2019. Doug had a friend named Debbie (from the Angry Grandpa video GRANDPA FLIPS OUT! (PICKLEBOY WRECKS DINNER!)) who would appear on videos with Doug and bash Grandpa, but Debbie later admitted that Michael paid her to lie about the abuse and that he told her about the accusations so she can be on videos with Doug. She has since cut all ties with Doug when he began threatening her and has also apologized to Michael and Bridgette.

On July 28, 2019, his mother, Lydia West, died at 86 from her lung cancer. He had her cremated as part of her wishes.

On March 6, 2020; Michael, Bridgette, and Swift (Jesse Ridgway, former cameraman) went to talk to Doug about what he has been doing to Michael and Bridgette for Michael's documentary. Doug didn't like being filmed and started to attack all three of them on camera.

On November 27, 2020, Doug tried to call out Cesar Rosas Jr from [CJ] Studios "For believing too much clickbait" towards Jesse Ridgway's video on Michael and Bridgette breaking up. In response, Cesar pulled the reverse card stating that Doug is creating clickbait by spreading lies about everybody.

In April 2020, he moved to Kentucky to live with his niece. However his family in Kentucky are planning to file charges against him because of his behavior against them and possible crimes against children. Charges were filed in January 2021.

Doug’s last livestream on the December 18, 2023 from the confines of his hospital bed had prominent moments such as how he had contacted Bridgette after being hospitalised and at that point aware he was on his death bed, and her reply was “good luck” in a text message. He was also forced to rely heavily upon donations from viewers on his YouTube channel to pay for medication.

On January 6, 2024, Bridgette announced via Twitter that Doug had suffered a fatal heart attack and died as a result.[1] The next day on January 7, 2024, Doug’s death was announced via a video titled ‘Goodbye Doug (RIP)’ on the KidBehindACamera channel. A follow-up video was released two days later, titled 'DOUG PASSED AWAY (RIP)'.

He also was seen eating KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) with Michael, Bridgette, Jennifer, J.C., Johnny, Jacob, and James on the vlog "SUNDAY DINNER W/GRANDPA".
  • It was previously stated that Doug would never meet his granddaughter, Mia Nicole Green, due to him believing that Bridgette was never pregnant, for making Bridgette life miserable during the pregnancy, and saying that if she appeared in one video he'd call DSS. Despite this, there were no cases of Doug calling DSS, despite Mia's appearances on YouTube.
    • There was some talk by Michael and Bridgette of taking Mia with them when they confronted Doug for Michael's documentary. However, after Doug attacked them and Swift they agreed that they were glad they didn't bring Mia with them.
    • It was also highly likely that Doug wouldn’t meet Mikey. since he made Bridgette’s first pregnancy with Mikey’s older sister, Mia, a living hell.
