TLC’s New Show I Am Shauna Rae Filmed in Seaside Heights, NJ
The show follows Shauna Rae, a 22-year-old woman who is only 3 feet and 10 inches tall owing to a childhood brain tumor that stunted her growth. Shauna is figuring out how to operate as an independent adult while inhabiting an 8-year-old body.
Dating, drinking in public, and even dressing like an adult can be difficult when you appear like a youngster, as you can guess.
Shauna and her family spend the first episode of the show at Seaside Heights. Things that we take for granted, such as hauling beach chairs or simply playing on the beach, are a challenge for Shauna. Shauna is unable to enjoy the rides at Casino Pier without the company of her family. There are some things she isn't permitted to do at all.
Later, the family heads to Spicy Cantina for dinner and Shauna receives glances since she's dressed like any other 22-year-old in a tight skirt and high heels. As you can expect, ordering a margarita is a challenge for her.
