Who is Alicia Jay – TV Actor?
Alicia Jay was born in Oakland, California on the 30th of November 1981; she was born through a c-section due to her height at birth – when Jay was born she weighed 10 pounds. She was raised with strong Christian values as a child and she continues to live her life by those values as she publicly identifies as a Christian. Not much is known about her family except that her father died of cancer and her parents are the reason for her gigantic features. Her father was 6ft 3in before his death and her mother was 5ft 10in, which is well above average for women, however, she tries to keep this aspect of her life out of the public eye
As she got older, she kept getting taller and taller than other kids who were in the same age group as her, leading to a bullying childhood. This bullying led to issues with her self-esteem and lack of self-confidence, leading to depression. But when she went to college, her worldview expanded when she saw other women as tall as her and even taller. The feeling of being the only female giant in the room was dismissed and she felt more comfortable in her own skin, knowing that she was not the only one of extreme size. Her confidence blossomed, which made her brave enough to be the star of a TV show.
