Jacob Roloff Wife
Jacob Roloff is a married man. He is married to Isabel Sofia Rock. The couple started dating in 2015. They got engaged in December 2017. The couple finally tied a knot to each other in September 2019. He is a dog lover.
He has over 326k followers on his Instagram.
Jacob came forward in December 2020 accusing Little People Big World former producer, Chris Cardamone of sexual abuse. He made a lengthy Instagram post claiming Cardamone abused him sexually.
He wrote, "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. 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.", Chris Cardamone.
I do not expect to provide details of this encounter at any point publicly. I do hope he is never allowed around children again.
I first began contemplating this statement when he texed me years later in November 2015. I choose to disclose it now as it remains a traumatic memory that needs to be exorcised of any further power over my development.
By revealing this, I may be more fully understood and my perspective on issues such as child sexual abuse, child exploitation, and the collateral costs of reality television may be received more clearly. Although, I would have to add that this experience has not solely defined my point of view on any of these issues, nor has it defined my worldview in general.
This may also serve as a reminder that the experience of sexual assault, in all of its iterations, can happen to anyone at anytime and is a far more prevalent reality than our current social stigma allows us to talk about.
"Why not speak out sooner?"
A child must process, and I needed silence and time.
I continue my own contemplation on the vouyeurism involved in the entire enterprise of reality television - a massive specatcle of drama and pain and argument and ivaion, with a little joy sprinkled over, that viewers watch completely disassociated from the complex humans inside the simplistic 'characters' they see on TV. Yet, ethere is no inherent casual connection between reality television production and childhood trauma. We are still sprinting ahead with the enterprise deaf, dumb, and blind, asking for forgiveness later, instead of asking harder preliminary questions of ourselves.
The profits were indeed sweet. The actual experience was more complicated.
I often ask sincerely, from this complex perspective: is it simply take as granted that we should be capable of watching someone grow up week by week on TV? How does the environment of prying eyes, both lens and audience, affect self-perception? How are material amenities weighed against the subjective psychological affects? Has anyone defined these lines? Studied it? Should we need to study it?
So much of reality television is simply, "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
It must be emphasized that all fault lies with the predator, and no fault lies with any of my family members.
I am certain that this is a positive moment for me, and another step toward a brighter future.
In solidarity with silent survivors,
Jacob Roloff"
