One star of the popular reality show, The Traitors, recently shared a disturbing video on social media. Meryl Williams, who was one of the winners of the show's first season, opened up about the harsh realities of living with dwarfism. Meryl made her television debut in 2022 as a member of the original cast of The Traitors, which was hosted by Claudia Winkleman on BBC for the first time. Along with her fellow Faithfuls, Hannah Byczkowski and Aaron Evans, Meryl managed to outwit all the Traitors and win a share of the £101,050 prize pot.
Since her victory on The Traitors, Meryl has been open about her experiences with dwarfism, a condition characterized by unusually short height, as defined by the NHS. Unfortunately, Meryl has also had to face discrimination and abuse in public because of her condition. Recently, she was forced to hide in a train's toilet to protect herself from a group of teenagers who were verbally attacking her.
Meryl documented the unsettling incident on TikTok, where she has thousands of followers. She explained that the group of teenagers had been sitting across from her on the train and giving her abusive comments. "Living with this condition is something that you can't hide," she shared. "People see you straight away; they notice you straight away, you're just an easy target."
Meryl went on to describe the hurtful comments and actions of the teenagers, including making fun of her appearance, taking photos and videos of her, and even sticking their tongues out and laughing at her. She also expressed her disappointment that no one on the train intervened or spoke up against the harassment. Feeling upset and alone, Meryl decided to wait in the toilet until the teenagers got off at their stop in Durham.
Despite the traumatic experience, Meryl ended her video with a powerful message, urging people to be kinder to those who are different or have a disability. She also revealed that she used to avoid traveling alone, especially to big cities like London, because she felt safer in her car. However, she has recently gained enough confidence to travel by train and was proud of herself for doing so. Meryl's video received an outpouring of support from her friends and fans, including her fellow Traitors cast members.
The Traitors, which aired its first season in 2022, was a huge success for the BBC, with the finale attracting over four million viewers. Since its return for the second and third seasons, the show has only grown in popularity. Currently, a new batch of Faithfuls and Traitors are competing in a Scottish castle for a chance to win up to £120,000. After a Faithful victory in the first season, Harry Clark emerged as the Ultimate Traitor in the second season after stealing over £95,000 from his fellow contestants.
The Traitors airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. It's a thrilling and dramatic show that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
