Dear Ms. Genevieve Gallen,
Thanks for your dropping on this site. We’re glad that you can clarify on your issues with actor Verne Jay Troyer. We hope iudges would listen to your appeals in future if you had any disputes with Mini Me on the court.
For the image you want it to be removed from the site, according to various Chinese websites, they identified her as Genevieve Gallen. We apologize that it was not checked for the fact.
If you agree, we won’t delete it but make its caption correct.
All the best,
HCG Admin
Ps. The woman with the red hair, is not Genevieve Gallen. Please remove that image.
Verne and Genevieve fell in love, were married in January 2004, the annulment was thrown out! We had many plans made for our wedding in advance. Friends and family supported our engagement, and wedding…..except one person. He was forced under great duress to get a divorce.
“They have removed all the truth, silenced my voice, our love, and replaced it with slander. I had nothing to gain, I knew going into the relationship it would ruin me as a commercial model. I knew much of the hatred toward little people would not be projected onto him for that is not “PC”, but the hatred that still exists and prejudice was definitely projected onto me for marrying a little person.
All people, including his best friend of ten years, John Simanton, his dear brother Devon, and myself chose not to watch him drink and profit off his alcoholism. For his manager to throw him onto a show, “The Surreal Life”, after we had just wed, while the show was fueled with booze and women, and he relapsed and made international news, peeing in the corner of the room, naked like an untrained animal. How can this manager say she wishes to make a difference in the lives of little people and them getting respectable roles in Hollywood.
How can she covet him as her trophy, keep him in the back of her mansion for 8 years living in the garage, monitoring his moves, telling him who is a friend and who is out to get his money, which would therefore be safer in “someone else’s hands”. I wonder who’s hands she spoke of?
I WILL NOT BE THE SCAPEGOAT IF VERNE PASSES AWAY EARLY. THEY WILL WANT ALL EYES ON ME TO COVER UP THE TRUTH. I WILL NOT STOP TELLING IT.
VERNE WAS BORN WITH ALL ORGANS IN PROPORTION. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE GIFT OF A BODY TO WHICH HAS GIVEN HIM A CAREER PEOPLE OF AVERAGE SIZE COULD ONLY DREAM OF, AND WITH THIS TYPE OF DWARFISM, HE CAN LIVE AS LONG AS ANYONE ELSE, IF HE CONTINUED TO CARE FOR HIS HEALTH.
I LOST A HUGE PART OF MY HEART, THAT WILL NEVER BE REPAIRED FOR THE INJUSTICE AND EVIL AND GREED I HAVE WITNESSED. DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA. DO NOT BE FOOLISH. THINK FOR YOURSELVES. EDUCATE YOURSELF. HE IS NOT THE VICTIM OR UNDERDOG, JUST BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE. I MAY BE “PRETTY”, BUT I HURT TOO. AND IF I WAS NOT ATTRACTIVE, OUR RELATIONSHIP WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN UNDER PUBLIC SCRUTINY! LOOK WITH YOUR HEARTS, NOT EYES, FOR ONCE!
AND VERNE, IF YOU READ THIS, YOU KNOW I WOULD HELP YOU AS I PROMISED TO BE BY YOUR SIDE NO MATTER WHAT, BACK IN AUGUST OF 2002. BUT THIS TIME, YOU NEED GET YOUR LIFE, YOUR FINANCES, THE POWER BACK IN YOUR HANDS. I’M NOT A BAD PERSON. I AM NOT PERFECT EITHER. BUT I WAS AS PERFECT AS A WOMAN COULD BE, WHILE WITH YOU.
ANYTHING SAID OTHERWISE, IS A FABRICATED LIE TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT ALL THE MALICIOUS MEDIA, PHYSICAL, LEGAL AND EMOTIONAL ATTACKS I HAVE GONE THROUGH. AND ONLY YOU, HAVE THE POWER, TO TELL THE TRUTH. YOU KNOW….AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP AND WILL.
-YOUR EX WIFE,
GENEVIEVE GALLEN.
(and yes, it comes to message boards, when dirt, sells over truth. When the higher paid publicist, is who tells the media what is “real and what is not”. Try….to put yourself in the shoes of someone who had all their dreams sacrificed in order to save the life of another who through this hardship, you genuinely grew to love as soul mates. Then imagine having not only this person, as your legally wed mate, but the entire relationship, and marriage, and divorce, and your property, and your friends, your network, invites to parties, finally your REPUTATION all dissipate, just to hide another’s greed for money. This happened to me. And I dont even know if my ex husband is aware of how bad they have made it. Did I ever exploit you, Verne, as Renea and others have? Taken you to the Ivy, or public places? Really. Think where I was at, in my life, before that first slandering article, caused by your manager, as she has admitted. That was the first attack, back in 2002, for helping care for you 15 hours straight. I dont want you to pass, without hearing my words or you having the chance, to ask me…anything. They want you to hate me, so what they have done, hurts less, as though I ever deserved this. )
Yes, Verne Jay Troyer and Genevieve Gallen were legally wed without fraud in January 2004. They had an engagement party with both families in their home state of Michigan to which they annually visited for Christmas. The engagement party included the brides extended family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and niece and nephews Christmas of 2003. The couple was sincerely in Love. Genevieve Gallen spent her early years as an activist for animal rights organizations traveling the country as a teen for the group Peta. She was head of the Michigan Chapter of Feminists for Animal Rights, and spent her summers canvassing to raise money for Green Peace, one of the largest environmental agencies at the time. She studied yoga and was a strict vegetarian from the age of 13. After high-school, she went on to work three jobs, one as a waitress at the only vegetarian restaurant in Detroit, to put herself through her dream of becoming a fashion designer and graphic artist. Genevieve’s Father, Geoff Gowman, ran for Mayor of Detroit, in the mid eighties, and the family lived between 6 and 7 mile (in reference to Eminem’s Movie depicting 8 Mile and the violence and racial tension in the city). As a fair complected caucasian, Genevieve stood out as a minority in a predominantly black; African American city. This taught Genevieve early on to find what brought people together, and to despise prejudice. She moved out to San Francisco to study advanced Iyengar method yoga at the only accredited college for Yoga in the United States. During these years she lived the life of a celebate yogini, in the Sivananda Ashram while adhering to her lifelong vow of vegetarianism; dietary veganism, and managing a large scale health food store to continue paying her classes at the Yoga College. When asked if there was anything she hated in life, she had two answers: 1. injustice, 2. Running. It was at that time that Genevieve took up running, using the breathing techniques taught in yoga, and running along the glorious marina ocean landscapes, her love for nature and ability to manage not losing breath provided a hobby of running that soon became a daily regime. In 1997, Genevieve Gallen ran the San Francisco Marathon. She no longer hated running, but continued to be an advocate against the innocent who suffered, and sought to fight injustice. In 1998, her younger sister moved out to San Diego in Southern California. Yoga, after years of it being mocked had become trendy, and celebrities such as Sting and Madonna were giving testimonials as to the many great benefits of yoga. It was at that time, with a talk with her Yoga teacher, that she was advised to bring the eastern teachings she had learned, hindi, sanskrit, indian dance, tablas and mridangam drumming; she had 7 years of classical piano instruction as a child, so music and dance came naturally and was not restricted by cultural influences. It was an irony, after joining the infamous LA Sports Club, where many celebrities, producers, and clientele she thought would prefer private classes catered to their needs. Yoga offered so many various levels from physical athletic goals, to the very subtle spiritual practices, that trying to teach a class that made everyone happy, seemed difficult. Her students, all women, all in some way connected to the Television and Film industry, soon offered Genevieve modeling and acting opportunities. It was her dream since very young to be a fashion designer, to show that “Fashion is an art, material not materialistic”-Genevieve Gallen. At 5 ‘6 she just skimmed two inches or so short of the fashion runway standard, but could work as a print model. Her work in modeling took her all over the world, doing bikini runway shows annually in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to shooting swimsuit calendars, post cards, stock work, promotional advertising, and even some television shows on major Cable networks. It was a great honor with years of gratitude, when Genevieve was invited as a guest to dine with Hugh Hefner and his girlfriends, later being invited to every party, from Sunday night “family dinners” to the very large and spectacular Halloween and MidSummer Nights dream. For Seven Years, Genevieve was able to use her love for fashion, to create costumes, and lingerie plus be in an environment where others also put so much creative energy and expense into their attire. It was literally a dream come true. Balancing her background, being what her guru instructed a “yogini in the storm, not sheltered within the walls of the ashram”, took some adjusting too. Coming from a background that restricted pleasures of the gross primal hungers and senses to a world where satiating the senses with the most opulent feasts, beautiful people, and where sex and one’s sexuality was celebrated, it was to ironic these years to be anything less than fate.
Part two, ….coming soon.
