Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause says women who discount shorter men as partners are "missing out" and that quibbling over height is "ridiculous".
The celebrity estate agent, who is 5ft 5in tall, told online entertainment newspaper TMZ that "chemistry" was the most important part of a relationship.
She and her own partner Jason Oppenheim, who at 5ft 3in is shorter than she is, appear in the LA-based reality show about real estate company the Oppenheim Group.
Asked about the height difference between Hollywood power couple Tom Holland (5ft 8in) and Zendaya (5ft 10in), she said: “Oh my God it’s so ridiculous, what year are we in now?
“How old are we? Who cares?”
She added: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but it’s more about what’s inside.
“Some people do have their preferences but I think it’s silly.
“I honestly think the height thing is so ridiculous, it doesn’t matter.
“It’s about how they treat you and if you guys have chemistry. I think the height thing is overdone.”
When asked what she would say to women who refuse to date shorter men, she replied: “That’s their prerogative but they’re missing out.”
