Jyoti Amge From ‘American Horror Story’ Treated Like A Baby [Spoilers]


American Horror Story: Freak Show star Jyoti Amge might have enjoyed her important arc on the FX series, but there’s a deep pain that comes with being the smallest woman in the world.

At 20-years-old, Amge says that people treat her like a baby, which she obviously dislikes. Amge’s translator spoke for her to Entertainment Tonight about her initial reaction to getting the offer to join American Horror Story.

“She [Amge] didn’t have any reservations because even though the name of the show is ‘Freak Show,’ nobody is a freak here.”

Although her stature isn’t all what it’s cracked up to be when the camera stops rolling.

“When people see me on TV, they become very happy because they don’t have to interact with me. 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.”

She continued, “I don’t let everyone pick me up. I only let myself be picked up by whomever I want to be picked up by. 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.”

Another pet peeve of hers is people invading her personal space, and feeling like they have permission to do so because of her small stature. Amge revealed she becomes “mad when someone annoys me by touching my hair or keeps touching me without permission.”

Being on American Horror Story as Elsa’s assistant (Jessica Lange) seemed like a blessing for Jyoti.

“People like me might be small in stature, but they can also act. Regular people should not underestimate people who are small. In every aspect, they can do the things that normal people can.”

Hopefully this is only the beginning of a bright acting career for Jyoti. It seems to fit her perfectly, and she did a fantastic job with her character on the current season of American Horror Story: Freak Show.
