Despite her remarkable achievements, Maci has opened up about the height difference challenges she encounters in her daily life. The internet can be a cruel place, as she reveals how strangers often compare her to fictional characters like Slenderman.
The 21-year-old, who stands tall at 6ft 10ins, has gone viral on TikTok after sharing clips of herself demonstrating her incredible height.
She revealed that she gets a ‘lot of mixed reactions’ – including being compared to horror movies characters by trolls – but claims she loves being unique.
‘If someone is going to hate, they hate because they don’t understand,’ Maci said.
‘[I am also] called horror movie characters, like Slenderman.
‘I’ve always been taller than everyone since pre-school. I’ve always been a head above everyone.
‘There was this one instance where I was playing on the playground – I think I was in second grade, and someone asked me if I was a middle schooler because of how tall I was.
‘At the time, I hated my height because it was the one thing kids could target me for. [But] the best perk would have to be that no one is like me. I am unique.
She continued: ‘People will often be like, “you are so beautiful, do you model?”
‘As a 6ft 10inch female, my job is to empower other tall women.’
But there are downsides to her height too as Maci admitted: ‘Having to duck under every doorway makes me want to grab a hammer and smash them all down!’
The young woman also struggles with dating – having shared a video recounting how men say they don’t like kissing her in public because of the height difference.
She revealed: ‘I currently have no interest in dating, but all the times I’ve dated, especially with men that are shorter than me by a significant amount, has just felt off.
‘Like they were almost embarrassed of me.’
The fictional Slenderman is depicted as a thin, unnaturally tall humanoid, with a featureless white head and face, and was featured in a 2018 movie of the same name.
In one video of Maci, a viewer said: ‘That would be scary to see in a dark hallway.’
Some users compared her to the ‘Other Mother’ character in the Coraline movie.
But, elsewhere, some fans insist she should be a model thanks to her height and ask how she finds clothes that fit her – something that is a particular struggle for Maci.
‘Finding clothes is hard. I shop at American Tall mostly, although they don’t have any long pants that fit me.
‘I have to get them custom-made, which costs around $250 for one pair of jeans.
‘I’m not made of money [so] I only have two pairs of jeans that fit me right.’
Despite her fame due to holding the world record, Maci says she isn’t worried about retaining the title.
‘I have had the world record for female longest legs for about four years now.
‘Having that title doesn’t have a meaning to me anymore. It’s more of a thing of the past. If anyone wants to take the title from me, I’d be more than happy.’
It’s a wild dive into the murky waters of cyberbullying, Maci Currin’s towering height, and witnessing the cruel comparisons to Slenderman. The emotional toll of online trolls is no joke, but hey, neither are Maci’s 53-inch legs! Coping strategies are crucial in this digital age; remember, haters gonna hate, but you can rise above like Maci’s altitude.
