comment: I think it's creepy of that TV show to characterize her as "trapped inside an 8-year old body."  And I suspect the controversy you're reacting to was intentionally drummed up by the show.
  I have an adult friend with a similar body size and shape. She's not dating anyone at the moment, but I can't imagine anyone would give a fuck if she did. It's pretty obvious she's an adult from the way she dresses and behaves.
