TLC’s reality TV show I Am Shauna Rae offers a glimpse into the curious life of Shauna Rae, a twenty-something woman from Ross Township, Pa., who developed a growth hormone deficiency after undergoing chemotherapy when she was six months old.

Shauna’s body stopped growing as a result of the medical procedure. Today, she is 3 feet and 10 inches tall, and her appearance is frequently compared to that of an 8-year-old. After watching her on TLC, many fans are curious to know what Shauna’s net worth is? Here’s what you should know.

Before landing her own show courtesy of TLC, Shauna reportedly focused on her college studies. She landed one of her first acting stints only recently, portraying “Young Girl” in Season 1, Episode 8 of Lisey’s Story.

The TV mini-series also stars Julianne Moore, Clive Owen, and Ron Cephas Jones. According to Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Shauna caught a TLC producer’s eye because of Lisey’s Story.

How Much Does Shauna Rae Make?

Shauna Rae has yet to share details about her TLC salary. Some claims state she earns between $10,000 to $15,000 with each episode of I Am Shauna Rae, but this information could not yet verified.

It’s widely believed that Shauna Rae now lives on Long Island. Judging by Season 1 of I Am Shauna Rae, Shauna is particularly close with her mom, Patricia, half-sisters, Rylee and Morgan, and step-father, Mark. Shauna’s biological dad, Scott Lesick, has yet to appear in I Am Shauna Rae.

Who is Shauna Rae dating?

Rae confirmed that she is not dating anyone in the trailer for her show.

“My relationship status is single,” she said. “I attract creeps, a**holes, and idiots. It is scary to put myself out there, but you have to put some risk in to get happiness.“

Rae and the rest of her family are concerned about the challenges she faces with online dating, particularly the problem of attracting men who like her for her childlike qualities.

“There are plenty of bad situations that can happen when it comes to people that want to date me,” she said. “The attraction to younger people, children exactly, is an issue. And there have been times that I’ve attracted that.”

“Online dating for Shauna I think, it’s a slippery slope,” Schrankel said. “The problem with online is you don’t know what their intentions are. I mean, are they allowed within 500 yards of an elementary school? I mean those are serious concerns of mine.”

Shauna Rae Stopped Growing at Age 16

Shauna Rae is opening up about her journey to self-acceptance ahead of the premiere of her new TLC show, I Am Shauna Rae. 

The 22-year-old was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer in just 6 months. Though treatment helped her into remission, it left her pituitary gland almost dormant and stunted her growth.

As a result, Shauna now stands at 3 feet and 10 inches tall, which is the average size of an 8-year-old. “I am a 22-year-old woman stuck in the body of an 8-year-old,” she described herself in a previous trailer for the series.

During a recent conversation with People, Shauna said she’s often not treated “like a normal human” because of her appearance. 

“And that’s all I’m asking for, is for people to treat me like a normal human,” she said. 

“I believe that my story is relatable to everyone because I’ve felt different my entire life,” Shauna continued. “And it’s not my situation that makes me relate to other people, it’s the feelings. It’s the emotional things that we go through. A lot of people have different circumstances, but it’s the same emotional turmoil that we go through.”  

She also reflected on how her condition affected her as a child and teen, noting that she first realized she wasn’t growing at the same rate as her peers around kindergarten. Still, it wasn’t until junior high that it began affecting her mental health. 

Then, at 16, she learned that she wouldn’t grow anymore. 

“It was a very difficult time,” Shauna shared. “It probably was the lowest time of my life, because I always imagined that I would be tall. And getting that news, it just kind of was like a hammer crashing into glass.” 

“I kind of isolated myself in a way so I could find myself and be happy with who I am, because at the time I wasn’t happy with who I was. I started doing online school, and I just really focused on me and what I wanted to do, and who I was as a person, and bettering myself,” she said.
