Shauna Rae, the main star of the TLC Show, I Am Shauna Rae, came with the catchphrase of being stuck or trapped in the “body of an 8-year-old girl.” Well, it seems that she doesn’t like that and, in fact, denied that she feels that way about her life at all. Why is that? Read on to find out.

Shauna Rae Is Very Short But Not A Child

The TV show allows people into the life of someone who suffers from issues involving the pituitary gland. If you haven’t yet watched the TLC show, she struggles with dating because she looks very short. Plus, she faces problems ordering an alcoholic drink. Additionally, many people seem to think that her parents still view their daughter as little girl. Meanwhile, she’s in her 20s.

Shauna Rae is undoubtedly very short. But, in a way, fans also think of her as a young girl. When she applied for a job, some fans felt she seemed too ambitious. To help pay for an apartment in Long Island, she tried out for work as dog walker. Many people noted her physical limitations if she walks big dogs. But, perhaps they forgot that she has the intellect of an adult and not a little girl.

Shauna Rae Takes To TikTok About The Catchphrase

People Magazine reminded TLC fans that the TLC star’s illness as a child “resulted in pituitary dwarfism, the condition that keeps Shauna Rae under 4 feet tall.” However, she feels that the catchphrase about her being trapped “in the body of an 8-year-old,” doesn’t accurately describe her. This week, she shared a TikTok video on her Instagram account and answered a question that fans brought up.

A fan asked Shauna Rae, “since your stuck in a 8 year old body does it make you wonder what it’s gonna be like when you get old in the future? (sic).”

The TLC star felt that the question needed to be addressed and said, “I think this one is super important.” That’s because “it gives y’all insight on…how I actually view myself no matter what verbiage that’s attached with pituitary dwarfism.”

In Her 20s – Puberty Behind Her

Shauna Rae reminded her TikTok followers that she already “hit puberty.” And most eight-year-old kids have not. That changes a person and so, she’s more mature than a little kid. Next, she emphasized, “I am just a shorter-statured woman, and my body is at the average height of an 8-year-old.”

What are your thoughts? Do you agree that perhaps talking about being stuck in the “body of an eight-year-old child” is just something TLC wanted her to say? Let us know in the comments below.
