Tori Roloff and her husband Zach Roloff, known for their appearances on the show Little People, Big World, recently discussed their decision to stop filming for TLC. They revealed that filming with a crew could be invasive, and their son Jackson’s reluctance to have his second leg surgery filmed might have been another factor in their decision.
To connect with their fans on a different level, Tori and Zach started a podcast called Raising Heights after announcing their departure from the show. Despite initial skepticism, the podcast has gained popularity, with over 102K subscribers on YouTube. On the podcast, they have shared various aspects of their lives, including their journey from meeting to getting married, their reasons for leaving the show, and their experiences with body image.
In a recent episode titled “Our Struggles With Body Image,” Tori mentioned how she ignored a professional trainer’s suggestion to have surgical repairs done to her body after giving birth to her third child. She also recalled an incident during filming where a producer criticized her choice of clothing, insisting she wear jeans instead of leggings. Tori expressed her frustration and resistance to changing her outfit, as she felt comfortable and confident in her chosen attire.
Tori praised her husband Zach for consistently coming to her rescue during such incidents. She shared a teaser on Instagram where she acknowledged Zach’s role in protecting her privacy, and she commended him for always stepping up when she wasn’t feeling herself. Tori mentioned that there were moments when she would cry in the bedroom, struggling to find something comfortable to wear, and it was Zach who would intervene and inform the crew that filming for the day was over.
Fans of the show expressed support and encouragement for Tori in the comments section, emphasizing that she was setting boundaries rather than being a “brat.” They believed that she should be allowed to wear what she wants, and they admired Zach’s supportive role in standing up for her. Many fans related to her experiences, sharing their own struggles with pregnancy and body image.
The comments from fans highlighted the importance of setting boundaries and staying true to oneself, especially during vulnerable times like pregnancy and postpartum. Tori and Zach’s decision to prioritize their comfort and privacy resonated with many supporters, who understood the challenges of being under constant scrutiny.
