Born with the condition Pituitary Dwarfism, Ms. Juicy expressed pride in the show and teaching society about “little people.”
She said in a 2019 interview, “I love this show because it teaches and informs people about who little people are. We can do everything average height people can do because we are not different; we are just different in size. We have to live our lives like everybody else, and it shows that we go through the same things and the same struggles as everyone else.” Ms. Juicy concluded, “But don’t come out there and treat us differently because we are smaller in stature than you are. I love this show because it shows everyone that we can do everything that they can do and even better!”
Here’s hoping Ms. Juicy gets well soon and is back to spreading her positive spirit in no time.
