Ma Petite of 'American Horror Story' is Tired of Being Treated Like a 'Baby'

Jyoti Amge (Ma Petite from American Horror Story: Freak Show) may be the smallest woman alive, but that doesn't mean the 23 inch tall actress enjoys being treated like an infant.

"When people see me on TV, they become very happy because they don't have to interact with me," said 20-year-old Jyoti of her fans through a translator.

"When they start interacting with me they ask me questions like I'm a baby or treat me like I'm a baby and hold me like I'm a baby, and that's what they do wrong, really."

"I don't let everyone pick me up. I only let myself be picked up by whomever I want to be picked up by," she continued. "I don't like it if I am being held like a baby. If someone holds me normally, and I'm not being coddled, I feel much more comfortable."

As for if she finds the name of the current season of the miniseries offensive, the translator explained, "She didn't have any reservations because even though the name of the show is Freak Show nobody is a freak here."

Concluded Jyoti of her diminutive stature, "Regular people should not underestimate people who are small. In every aspect, they can do the things that normal people can."
