A 6ft 3in woman says she's trolled for having a 4ft 11in girlfriend - and strangers mistake her for her MUM.<br /><br />Tall Lizzy Groombridge, 29, got to know Candie Dixon, 31, on Instagram before they met IRL and fell in love.<br /><br />They never thought anything of their height difference until they went 'Instagram official' - and people began commenting.<br /><br />She was labelled “Green Giant” by commenters - and people said they thought Candie was her “daughter”. <br /><br />They also said Candie looked “old in the face” - but still Lizzie was more likely to be “her mum”. <br /><br />The pair laugh it off - and have started up a joint OnlyFans account to capitalise on their difference.<br /><br />Now, the pair make £4-5k a month each with their joint content alone - and say it makes them feel “empowered.”<br /><br />Lizzy, from Truro, Cornwall, said: “People say all the time, we look like mother and daughter - it’s all based on the fact that I’m over a foot taller. <br /><br />"People comment about our height difference a lot - I’m often made to feel like my height is abnormal in society - whereas my girlfriend’s height isn’t, even though she’s shorter than average.<br /><br />“I think it’s strange that people find it appropriate to ask intrusive questions about my height - I don’t really mind people asking things like, ‘are your parents tall?’ and ‘have you always been this tall?’ - but it is weird. <br /><br />“We don’t get a lot of people saying things while we’re out-and-about, it’s mostly online. <br /><br />“People say we look like mother and daughter - or they’ll insult Candie saying she looks older.<br /><br />“I get called Green Giant, and asked why I wear heels to make myself even taller.<br /><br />“But ultimately, we build each other up and we validate each other - those people aren’t relevant to us.”<br /><br />Candie, a full-time OnlyFans creator who lives with Lizzie in Truro, said: "We get a lot of hate, to be honest.<br /><br />"Most of them call Lizzy a giant but then contradict themselves by saying I look like her mum. It's so strange!<br /><br />"My favourite motto is - 'haters make me famous' - so Lizzy and I just rise above them and love the life we live together."<br /><br />Lizzie and Candie met on Instagram midway through 2021 - after Candie kept tagging Lizzie in photos to get her attention. <br /><br />They began talking online for months - and finally met in person in November.<br /><br />Candie helped Lizzie through the breakdown of her last relationship - and made Lizzie aware she had feelings for her. <br /><br />Lizzie says there was never any demarcation between the friendship ending and the relationship beginning - and everything happened “naturally”. <br /><br />Lizzie said: “She was my entire support network - at first it was confusing, but then I developed feelings for her and it just made sense. <br /><br />“We skipped all the stages of awkwardness, like farting in front of each other - as silly as that sounds.<br /><br />“We’re just more similar as people. I’ve never dated a woman before - but I see her for the person she is, at the end of the day.”<br /><br />Despite feeling happy and “validated” in her new relationship - Lizzie says she was trolled almost as soon as the pair went Instagram-official. <br /><br />In the last month, Lizzie has decided to include Candie more in her OnlyFans content - and says she gets a number of “niche” requests related to their height difference. <br /><br />Now, the pair make £4-5k a month each with their joint content alone - and say it makes them feel “empowered.”<br /><br />“Now monetised our height difference - and we’re turning the comments into more of a positive," said Lizzie.
