During their conversation, Abira opened up about the pain she still carries from comments Tonya previously made about her, including the infamous "class before ass" remark. But according to Abira, the hurt goes much deeper than a single comment.


Fighting back tears, she explained that she spent much of her childhood being bullied because she is a little person. When she joined Little Women: Atlanta, she believed she had finally found a group of women who would understand her experiences and embrace her. Instead, she says she felt judged and excluded.


Abira shared that while the women didn't bully her for being a little person, she often felt looked down upon for being "ghetto" or "poor."


"That's not OK," she said emotionally. Reflecting on the conversation, Abira admitted she isn't sure whether her message truly got through to Tonya.

"To be honest, I don't know if she heard me. I don't know if she felt me. I don't know if it's something she can relate to. I can only just be transparent with her and tell her what makes me, me," Abira said.
