'Little People, Big World' star Jacob Roloff says he was molested by producer; Mom responds
"Little People, Big World" star Jacob Roloff is coming forward with a "traumatic memory" of sexual abuse by a producer on the TLC reality series.
In a lengthy Instagram post Tuesday, Roloff claimed that he was molested by former producer Chris Cardamone while starring on "Little People, Big World" with his family.
"It is often much easier to think about things than it is to talk about them, and so this disclosure has been delayed, but through that delay, I have found the fortitude and words," Roloff, 23, wrote. "As a child, after what I realize now was a long grooming process, I was molested by an executive field producer for 'Little People, Big World.'"
Although Roloff said he doesn't plan to "provide details of this encounter," the child star said he hopes Cardamone is "never allowed around children again."
