A recent photo shared by Tori Roloff of her son Jackson reuniting with his father on Instagram has caused a stir among fans of TLC’s Little People, Big World (LPBW). While the photo captured a heartwarming family moment, it was Jackson’s appearance that triggered a strong reaction and left fans deeply upset.
The first photo depicted Zach Roloff holding Josiah while Jackson stood beside him, and Lilah stood next to Jackson. They stood outside their home in front of a white garage door adorned with a homemade banner that read, “Welcome home Dad!” A large heart with drawings inside and around the words was prominently displayed.
Tori Roloff added a caption expressing how much the family missed Zach during his absence. In a second update, she revealed that Zach had brought merchandise for all his children—white and blue jerseys that both he and the kids were wearing.
However, it was Jackson’s legs in the photos that drew the attention of LPBW fans, who zoomed in and noticed the apparent bowing of his legs. Some fans argued that his legs appeared more bowed than ever, raising concerns about his condition. While Tori Roloff explained that Jackson had undergone a less aggressive surgery aimed at gradually correcting the bowing, fans couldn’t understand why it seemed to be worsening.
Distressed fans took to Reddit to express how heartbreaking the photo of Jackson was for them, with a unanimous agreement that his legs appeared to be causing him significant pain. They also questioned why Tori Roloff hadn’t taken him to a doctor to explore other potential avenues for improving his comfort.
Tori Roloff has made it clear on social media that she doesn’t take medical advice from fans and has emphasized that fans don’t attend doctor’s appointments with her. As a result, fans remain unaware of the frequency of her children’s visits to the doctor and any additional measures being taken to address Jackson’s condition.
