Budding Influencer Blasts 'Disgusting' Backlash To Dating Woman 'Stuck In The Body Of An 8-Year-Old'

The growing I Am Shauna Rae controversy continues! Last week, TLC‘s latest reality hit got a lot more attention all of a sudden over a December episode in which star Shauna Rae Lesick starts going on dates with a new guy.

The issue? Well, if you’ve never seen the show, Shauna’s growth was stunted due to brain surgery when she was a child. She’s now 23 years old but — as TLC puts it in their show description — “at 3 feet 10 inches, she’s stuck in the body of an 8-year-old.” That makes dating extra tricky.

The reality star herself explained on the show: Creeps, a-holes, and idiots? Sadly, that’s the same ocean ALL women have to navigate, right??

But seriously, as her parents are all too keenly aware, the potential for the first category of trash guy — “creeps” — is extra high here for obvious reasons.

So after the episode when viewers met Dan Swygart, a hunky “world-traveler” from Wales who reached out to Shauna after Season 1 — and flew to Long Island just to go on some dates with her — well, let’s just say the rubber met the road.
