Shauna Rae Has A Message For The Person Who Reported Her Underage On TikTok

After someone reported reality star Shauna Rae's TikTok account for being under 13, she appealed, won the appeal, got her TikTok page back, and then shared a message for whoever started the trouble.
Shauna, who is 23 years old but looks much younger due to her height, has explained her age and disability multiple times, but people continue to cause issues with their confusion.
Shauna Rae Took To Social Media To Give A Message To Whoever Reported Her TikTok Account
Shauna shared an Instagram Story explaining the details of her TikTok account being suspended early Sunday. Shortly after that first Instagram Story, she shared another one to say that her TikTok page was back up and running.
"I just want to say to everyone and anyone who follows me on TikTok. It is banned; I am appealing it," she explained. "Whoever reported me for being underage, I hope you get what's coming to you because that's just rude."
She continued to explain that everyone who follows her on social media knows she's an adult. "We all know that I put content on my social media to raise awareness about pituitary dwarfism and dwarfism in general, so whoever reported me for being under the age of 13, I hope you have an amazing day, and I hope that you realize that you were a rude person for no reason. And I hope that whatever fueled this hate eventually disappears because you deserve love and happiness."
Her second Story explained that she regained access to her TikTok account within five minutes of appealing.
"I just want everyone to know that my TikTok is back up and running in five minutes because I'm an adult, and it's an I.D. thing," she said.
"But I just wanted to let the person that did the appeal...haha, I win. Game, set, match. And I will keep appealing any age request things you keep sending my way because I'm a legal adult, and if you can't handle that, that's not my fault."
Shauna also shared her Instagram Stories in one video on TikTok. Her TikTok followers dropped into the comments to leave their thoughts.
"That's crazy; sorry about your bad luck. Hopefully, that person that had you banned will learn some things," one person wrote.
Another added, "This is honestly bull; I never understood that, like if you don't like someone, don't watch their content instead of making everyone else's lives miserable."
The Age Dilemma Isn't Anything New For Shauna Rae
Being questioned about her age is nothing new for Shauna. A fan recently asked her, "Since you're stuck in an 8-year-old body, does it make you wonder what it's gonna be like when you get old?" Shauna first addressed that people continually say she's "stuck in an 8-year-old body."
"So, before I get to the question, I just want to correct your wording," she said. "I know that 'the woman stuck in the body of an 8-year-old' is the catchphrase attached to me, but I don't personally connect with it. I think it's very inaccurate."
She continued her video to explain that she's 23, not 8, so her body is that of a 23-year-old.
"I am a 23-year-old woman whose body is 23 years old. It's matured," she said. "It's gone through puberty. Like I've grown up in areas where 8-year-olds don't until they hit puberty, which is later in life, so I'm not in the body of an 8-year-old. I am just a shorter-statured woman, and my body is at the average height of an 8-year-old, but that doesn't mean my body is stuck in an 8-year-old body."
