Of all the stories I've ever heard, interviews, my dad's story of meeting Andre, I have literally never heard anyone have something bad to say. If he put someone in their place they deserved it. WishI could have met him. And his daughter seems like a very sweet person. Very touching.
Doesn't that happen with children of divorce though? At first they have this big chip on their shoulder because Dad wasn't as involved in their lives, even more so because her Dad was famous. Then they finally come to terms and bury the hurts. He left her a lot in his will. That says he loved his baby girl.
for those of you saying she's "cashing in" keep in mind he wasn't the greatest of dads(as most performers who are on the road most of the time tend to be) & when he wanted to see her the Mom refused so any $$ she's getting now she's owed doesnt replace the lost time together but it's better than nothing & any of you would do the same & if you disagree you're just lying to yourselves
“She’s owed”. NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING! The sense of entitlement you lazy ass people in this generation have. If you want something in life, go out there and get it yourself!
Stop your bs. You have no idea what Andre and his daughter were dealing with. Just STOP conniving. He loved his daughter and she loves him. Clearly you don't understand what goes on in families.
What a fantastic human. I was the biggest fan of Andre when I was a child. Truly a gentle giant. He certainly does not deserve the prodding of internet trolls nor does his daughter.
Adam Morgan i totally agree with You, sir....cause basically we all do have imperfections,right? I was a big fan of Andre the Giant myself, back when I was in Gradeschool watching here in the Phillipines durig the mid 80s, i remember my cousins and sibs will gather together infront of the TV especially summertime, we would all be excited to see him fighting. But if he got no fight schedule during a particular airing,we wouldnt be watching as at all haha! Miss Andre really....
Teng can sing Wrestling was a big deal in the 80's! I have lots of good memories watching the WWF as well. Ahh nostalgia. Can we go back in time? I miss those days...
Adam Morgan i miss the 80s as well....no decades can be as beautiful as the 80s in my honest opinion,Sir:) so im glad to be a Gen X youth....btw remember when thd wife of Jake the Snake Roberts slapped,Ravishing Ric Rude?.. ive watched that and almost roll on ths floor laughing:D
Total opportunist. He only met or contacted her 3 times in her childhood! She never knew him.now he is dead she lies for fame! ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
So sad Andre and his only daughter didn't have a closer relationship. I read that they may have only seen each other in person about 5 times. It seems her mother did not make it easy for Andre to see her daughter, and when he died she was only 14 years old.
I know that when she was younger she felt differently, as many have pointed out; however, several of Andre's friends have come forward saying how much he wanted to have a relationship with her, but that due to his inability to get along with her mother, he was unable to establish one, and that was his biggest regret. I think now she realizes that she did mean a lot to him, even if he was unable to express it to her while he was alive. I know at one point he invited Robin to come to his ranch in NC, but her mother was hesitant to let her go alone and wanted to go along with her. I do know that Andre left all of his remaining earnings to her; she was his sole beneficiary. Andre was afraid her mother would get the $ and spend it all, so Robin was unable to gain access to it until she was 25 or 30. I guess he felt this was one way he could attempt to show how much he cared for her despite never really being a huge part of her life.
He didnt even leave her all his will. He had to put her in it by law as he was ordered by courts to pay child support but he tried to fight it. Any famous person could and most did see their kids. He could of but chose not too....
@@lindafischer9384 Hi Linda, I nearly got murdered by a borderline-bipolar woman I had helped for 12 years. If that woman was only 10 % as toxic I very well understand Andre. A toxic person means pure misery if not conseqnuently avoided. Other option is punished nowadays by the law.
Absolutely. Not trying in any way to disrespect her mom..but she wouldn't allow her own daughter to go on a flight just to spend much needed time with Andre at his home in North Carolina. Andre knew all about flights and had friends in Canada. He totally would have provided a friend to be with his daughter at the airport. Andre loved children and he was very protective of children. He left his own daughter with everything he had left to GIVE. People forget that Andre left home when he was 14 year's old. He understands being solitary and alone. It's truly 💔
If you're reading this Robin, everyone loved your dad. He was a big brother too many of us. So you have a much larger family than I think you realize. A very special man indeed. Hopefully you are as sweet and as kind as he was. You seem so. God bless. Okay boss?
Robin is a fake. She trashed talked her dad . He never had anything to do with her. She never knew him. Met him 3 times, posed for publicity photos. Thats it. He denied her but paid child support as ordered by a court. He was kind and gentle...her mother was apparently a liar according to him so he cut things off. His will was split between his driver, drivers wife and Robin. Then, you had to add your child in your will if you raised them or if you paid child support. ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
Was watching this on cable television 📺 on ANE, he lived life to the fullest! A true gentleman who believed that God made him the way he was, just like his Grandfather was.
Even today when Smackdown begins in the opening video we still hear "Andree The Giant!"......This is how I know about him I Watched wrestling as a kid....after He was gone...never watched him ...I just know he was something like Hulk Hogan a Legend of the Sport who died too Young....
As a young kids in the seventies seeing him wrestle a couple of times even shook his hand couple of times he was amazing wrestler to see. He is a true Giant
Glad to see Ms. Robin C. Roussimof ,the living souvenir that the great wrestler had left behind in this world...and gosh,she is the spittihg image of Andre. The 8th wonder of the world was my favorite in the WWF back in Gradeschool,watching here in the Philippines. Quite frankly if Andte got no match for a particular day, i wouldnt be watching too...i miss Andre....
I'm sure he was absent a lot with his choice of career, but that doesn't mean he didn't love his daughter. I'm sure he wished he could have been there more for her; I'm also sure he felt he had limited career choices that would pay him any where close to what wrestling did. He was destined to be Andre the Giant and there will never be another like him.
She seems like a pretty cool gal. Wish I could have met Andre. I didn't have a Dad growing up but I watched wrestling with my Grandma. I was small for my age and really struggled in school, but I would dream of what it would be like to be big and powerful like the guys in the ring, or to even have someone like that to look up to.
Does not make sense...she and her mother, back in years, actually told in the interviews that she saw him just a few times in her life. She actually said:" He is my dad, but he is actually not my dad, you know". She said it when she was a kid, maybe 12 years old, or something.
all the people saying things like "funny 🤔🤔🤔 she had other things to say when she was 12 🔎🔎" ....it's almost as though some relationships are complicated, and 12-year-olds may grow into adults with life experience and different perspectives! Or do you all still feel precisely the same way you did when you were 12 about the adults in your life? Come on. It's possible to have been a hurt child and to have grown into an adult who has made peace with a relationship that was not perfect, but was still meaningful. Also: it really isn't any of our business! I hope she's happy and that the love people still have for her father is something that brings her comfort.
I'm sure that was true, considering his career. When he wasn't wrestling for WWF he was wrestling for other federations all over the world. It had to have been hard for her, but I'm sure she now realizes he didn't have a lot of other options, and none that would pay him any where close to what wrestling did. Time has a way of shedding light on the past.
@@lindafischer9384 I remember seeing this years ago. It's too bad, he could have had it all; an amazing career and an amazing family. My father took off when I was 7 and I never saw or heard from him again, so I know what it's like growing up without a father. Can't imagine having an absentee father who is also famous, having it thrown in your face all the time.
It's sad that 90% of the stories on the Giant are "Uh, he could drink 165 beers... He was a huge drinker..." There's very little on his generosity and good human nature.
One thing I hear a lot is he would never let anyone pick up the tab at a restaurant if they ate together. He would actually get mad and insist on him paying. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger was not allowed to pay when they filmed a movie together.
Yeah he was your dad but you didn't even know him he met him about six times so don't sit there and try to act like y'all had this special bond you didn't unfortunately
I see the resemblance in the mouth in particular or when she laughed. I had thought Andre was not close to his daughter so I'm glad she had some kind of relationship with him.
I saw another interview where she and her mom said he never sees his daughter and basically sucks. Then she gets all of his inheritance and he was her wonderful dad. Why did she sell his property, with his ashes scattered. I can't the her seriously.
She didn't get the property nor his memorabilia. Pretty sure all she received was a trust fund & the rights to his name, likeness, etc. His best friends were bequeathed the property & memorabilia.
Sometimes you have people in your life that you really despise but are connected to in some way. When they die, you tend to forget the bad parts and remember the good.
It's not hereditary, per se, although there is likely a predisposition for acromegaly that is present in Andre's family's genes, since his Grandfather, he had claimed, had grown to a giant 7+ ft. stature as well. The condition can manifest at any age. She obviously won't become a Giant if she is of normal height at present. But as I observe closer, she has a few features that hint toward a possible mild case of acromegaly. But does not mean she has it. Could just be normal features from heredity. Mouth, chin, and tongue are stout for a female. But not extreme. I don't mean any disrespect to her. Not meant in a bad way. If you are curious to see how a late, post adulthood, onset of acromegaly effects the body's growth, research Maurice Tillet. He, coincidentally, was a famous wrestler during the 1940s. His acromegaly symptoms did not become present until he was age 20.
Andre attempted to fly his daughter from Seattle to his ranch in NC. His assistant flew to Seattle in an attempt to convince her to come, but his daughter declined. This woman climbed out into the spotlight when she sees the $$$ attached to her name and DNA. Andre died shortly after her refusal to see him.
Maybe she felt like his wrestling was more important than her and there was a feeling of rejection. She never was in the spotlight til his death - because he was in the spotlight wrestling and didn’t see her often because he was busy. Do you know her or him? I didn’t think so. Why judge when you weren’t there.
Robin's mom said he was never there but Robin herself changed her story, whatever the case may be, he was still legendary. It could be his shadow making her uncomfortable? 🙄😶🌫️
Blessing or curse, depending how you look at it. I'm about the age now that Andre was when he died, and I sure as hell dont feel like I'm any where close to ready to check out yet.
This chick met her dad a grand total of 5 times. 2 of those times were in court. Im not making it up. They talked on the phone occasionally. How many other kids did he have that nobody ever knew about?
Robin, you didn’t know him....you stated that as a young teen publicly. you were not informed of his death by his lawyer until a month later. He only saw you 3 times and that had been verified by your mom on tape available still to public... so why are you now “acting” as tho you knew him? You trash talked him....You are such a fake! His kid or not....you did not know him ..why not admit that still?! Oh , yes, as most know, its because you pretend at a wrestlers convention, ONLY for notoriety!
That's weird I just watched the interview of her mom talkin and apparently Andre is only seen her like maybe five times in her whole life so I don't know what she's talking about how she knows I'm his dad and only knows him behind the ring apparently he never spend time with her least that's what the mom said in the interview
@@Ruffdogg21 I'm enjoying being nice and not an Abject Asshole... 🙂 And btw, you can be thin and have high cholesterol... It's about *what* you eat, not how much calories you consume. ???
If she has the same heart condition her dad had, then her weight is threatening her life. It may not be a walk in the park to be her. I wouldn't want to try and walk anywhere with her girth. My knees are already bad. I'm not critical, but I am not blind either. I hope she can lose some weight and take the strain off of her organs.
wrestling would not be what it is today had her father not paved the way ! if he were around today she would have had him home a few days a week ! he wasnt just a wrestler he was a founding father pioneering an industry and it consumed 300-320 days sometimes more a year from him ! she deserves a monster payday for the mere fact he sacrificed everything for the business ! I hope frenchie took good care of the ranch she should have inherited it along with the longhorn business this woman should never need for anything with what he had he isnt the only one whom sacrificed she sacrificed too ! and at the young age he passed he wasnt able to fully live out and enjoy everything he worked for hopefully she can !
Cause he never believed he could have kids but courts ordered him to pay child support... she is an opportunist. Thats it.she never kept his ranch nothing cause onoy money has meaning to that girl by the looks of it.
Too bad she sold Andre's NC property and farm home that he loved for only 80K on auction! Andre is still there because his ashes were scattered on the farm!
yellowjacketf4i yeah thats what also made me sad....i read,that the Ranch in Ellerbe was a big part of my fave wrestler's life:( too many cherishable memories,and his ashes was scattered there as well...just proved that he deeply loved that place....Miss Robin should have instead,just made it like a family heirlum,in memoriam and respect to her wonderfully famous Dad, andre....but then again, she is the daughter,Im just an Asian fan....just glad to see Robin Roussimoff here tho ua-cam.com/video/VORUjAwEo9w/v-deo.html
Fred Garvin and his ashes is still there as well, she shouldve just make it a tourist spot instead,like an Andre the Giant Museum,cause Andre deeply loved his ranch in my honest opinion....
Ian Meadows i got no idea how much exactly it was sold...but yeah, she should have just kept it and convert it like an Andre the Giant museum of some sort? I wonder how Andre's family in France,reacted to that:) what creeping me out is,the fact that the mortal remains of Andre is still scattered there...huh
latinoheatariel Hi...her name is Jean Christensen,Andre dated her and they got pregnant, but there was a legal battle, until blood tests confirmed he was Robin's biological Father, here is the link to that ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html. Tnx
He always said she was not his. Looks exactly like her mom. She lies, she never knew him. He took 3 two minute photos with her 3 times in her life. Thats it . Left most of his estate to his driver. Look them up on youtube...look up interview with Andre the Giants x gf, Christine.
Bull she looks looks just like her mom and he denied she was his. Ge refused to see her. Only met her 3 times as a child. She is a lying opportunist by the looks of this. ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
I nearly got murdered by a borderline-bipolar woman I had helped for 12 years. She ahd 2 children form another man and both are crippled on the isnide. If that mother was only 10 % as toxic I very well understand Andre. A toxic person means pure misery if not conseqnuently avoided. Other option is punished nowadays by the law. In that case it was mainly the law that prevented Andre to really help his lil one when she grew up... . Andre is as french as Thor btw... :) His East European genetics are clearly visible in his daughter`s face.
Bull, she looks like her mom. He denied her. Never wanted to see her. Her mom lied too. She lies for fame! Opportunist ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
🤣. You are gullible. She never knew him. He never believed she was his. He denied her. Only posed for 3 photos for two minutes...they never had any relationship. She looks identical to her mom. Check out on youtube, interview of Christine, andre the giants x gf.
6filthy66 I have to agree with u on that assessment she did an interview about her dad when she was 12 years old her and her mom actually and they both dogged him
Wait a tic......Robin never really had a real father daughter relationship with Andre. Robin and her mom went on national TV in the 90’s telling everyone how much of a crappy father Andre was and how she only saw him one time when she was a baby. Now it’s all flowers and butterflies for the sake of being relevant.
Of all the stories I've ever heard, interviews, my dad's story of meeting Andre, I have literally never heard anyone have something bad to say. If he put someone in their place they deserved it. WishI could have met him. And his daughter seems like a very sweet person. Very touching.

I bet she'd be a top competitor in Strong Woman competitions with just a little effort with his genetics in there.
I see the resemblance in the mouth in particular or when she laughed.
I had thought Andre was not close to his daughter so I'm glad she had some kind of relationship with him.
She looks just like her mom. He denied her. Only met her 3 times. Now she is an opportunist. She trashed talked him before this....
She looks like andre. She says she met him only 5 times in his lifetime
anybody else spot Big Show over on the right?
AYYYEEEE!!!!! thanks for pointing that out lol.
I saw another interview where she and her mom said he never sees his daughter and basically sucks. Then she gets all of his inheritance and he was her wonderful dad. Why did she sell his property, with his ashes scattered. I can't the her seriously.
She didn't get the property nor his memorabilia. Pretty sure all she received was a trust fund & the rights to his name, likeness, etc. His best friends were bequeathed the property & memorabilia.
Sometimes you have people in your life that you really despise but are connected to in some way. When they die, you tend to forget the bad parts and remember the good.
Or you gain maturity in life & understand that parents are people who were doing the best they could at life.
@@maxpower4466 she is an opportunist. She is so full of bs. She never knew him. He denied her.
id hope that Andre's daughter didn't inherit the medical condition that her father battled all his life!!!
If she did wouldn't she be a lot larger than she is? Non stop growth well into adulthood is the most noticeable symptom.
It's not hereditary, per se, although there is likely a predisposition for acromegaly that is present in Andre's family's genes, since his Grandfather, he had claimed, had grown to a giant 7+ ft. stature as well. The condition can manifest at any age. She obviously won't become a Giant if she is of normal height at present. But as I observe closer, she has a few features that hint toward a possible mild case of acromegaly. But does not mean she has it. Could just be normal features from heredity. Mouth, chin, and tongue are stout for a female. But not extreme. I don't mean any disrespect to her. Not meant in a bad way. If you are curious to see how a late, post adulthood, onset of acromegaly effects the body's growth, research Maurice Tillet. He, coincidentally, was a famous wrestler during the 1940s. His acromegaly symptoms did not become present until he was age 20.
Behind robin's back there is Boris Roussimoff her cousin he's got glasses!! Andre's nephew :)
Andre attempted to fly his daughter from Seattle to his ranch in NC. His assistant flew to Seattle in an attempt to convince her to come, but his daughter declined.
This woman climbed out into the spotlight when she sees the $$$ attached to her name and DNA.
Andre died shortly after her refusal to see him.
Maybe she felt like his wrestling was more important than her and there was a feeling of rejection. She never was in the spotlight til his death - because he was in the spotlight wrestling and didn’t see her often because he was busy.
Do you know her or him? I didn’t think so. Why judge when you weren’t there.
She says she only ever saw her father 5 times throughout his life
Robin's mom said he was never there but Robin herself changed her story, whatever the case may be, he was still legendary. It could be his shadow making her uncomfortable? 🙄😶🌫️
The comment section is just sad to read.
Jubal Knight I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!
Jubal Knight-- I just side step the "piles" till I read well thought out and logical replies. We all know the drill when we come in here. Salute!
Joe Knight-- Agreed Joe...sad but not entirely unexpected to be honest. Salute
Does she have a kid or kids?
Andre the giants grandpa was said to be huge
Its never been said that she has so i would say she dosent
Correct me, but I believe it skips a generation because his Grandfather had this same blessing as he did.
Blessing or curse, depending how you look at it. I'm about the age now that Andre was when he died, and I sure as hell dont feel like I'm any where close to ready to check out yet.
This chick met her dad a grand total of 5 times. 2 of those times were in court. Im not making it up. They talked on the phone occasionally. How many other kids did he have that nobody ever knew about?
Wow I never knew he had a daughter.
ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
Robin, you didn’t know him....you stated that as a young teen publicly. you were not informed of his death by his lawyer until a month later. He only saw you 3 times and that had been verified by your mom on tape available still to public... so why are you now “acting” as tho you knew him? You trash talked him....You are such a fake! His kid or not....you did not know him ..why not admit that still?! Oh , yes, as most know, its because you pretend at a wrestlers convention, ONLY for notoriety!
She has his entire face. Safe to say Copy&Paste. You can look at her&see she’s living proof that the man once walked this earth. Rest up Boss🖐🏼
I thought she said when she was young they had no relationship
AJD Vargas the mother’s not around anymore to pump that in her head
That's weird I just watched the interview of her mom talkin and apparently Andre is only seen her like maybe five times in her whole life so I don't know what she's talking about how she knows I'm his dad and only knows him behind the ring apparently he never spend time with her least that's what the mom said in the interview
Coolest dad!
I'm glad she took really good care of her self throughout the years;)
I'd rather be her than you...
rachybaby72 ok good. Hope you enjoy high cholesterol;)
@@Ruffdogg21 I'm enjoying being nice and not an Abject Asshole... 🙂
And btw, you can be thin and have high cholesterol... It's about *what* you eat, not how much calories you consume. ???
If she has the same heart condition her dad had, then her weight is threatening her life. It may not be a walk in the park to be her. I wouldn't want to try and walk anywhere with her girth. My knees are already bad. I'm not critical, but I am not blind either. I hope she can lose some weight and take the strain off of her organs.
wrestling would not be what it is today had her father not paved the way ! if he were around today she would have had him home a few days a week ! he wasnt just a wrestler he was a founding father pioneering an industry and it consumed 300-320 days sometimes more a year from him ! she deserves a monster payday for the mere fact he sacrificed everything for the business ! I hope frenchie took good care of the ranch she should have inherited it along with the longhorn business this woman should never need for anything with what he had he isnt the only one whom sacrificed she sacrificed too ! and at the young age he passed he wasnt able to fully live out and enjoy everything he worked for hopefully she can !
What dad? Interview in the 90s professes he was an absent father.
Cause he never believed he could have kids but courts ordered him to pay child support... she is an opportunist. Thats it.she never kept his ranch nothing cause onoy money has meaning to that girl by the looks of it.
@@lindafischer9384 Perhaps ,yes
❤❤❤
Too bad she sold Andre's NC property and farm home that he loved for only 80K on auction! Andre is still there because his ashes were scattered on the farm!
yellowjacketf4i yeah thats what also made me sad....i read,that the Ranch in Ellerbe was a big part of my fave wrestler's life:( too many cherishable memories,and his ashes was scattered there as well...just proved that he deeply loved that place....Miss Robin should have instead,just made it like a family heirlum,in memoriam and respect to her wonderfully famous Dad, andre....but then again, she is the daughter,Im just an Asian fan....just glad to see Robin Roussimoff here tho ua-cam.com/video/VORUjAwEo9w/v-deo.html
Fred Garvin and his ashes is still there as well, she shouldve just make it a tourist spot instead,like an Andre the Giant Museum,cause Andre deeply loved his ranch in my honest opinion....
Are you serious I had no idea
Teng can sing it only sold for 80,000$. It's a damn shame she didn't keep it Andre left his entire estate to her
Ian Meadows i got no idea how much exactly it was sold...but yeah, she should have just kept it and convert it like an Andre the Giant museum of some sort? I wonder how Andre's family in France,reacted to that:) what creeping me out is,the fact that the mortal remains of Andre is still scattered there...huh
I swear to God I thought this was Preston Lacey for a second.
❤
He was andre the giants daughter
Never new he had kids . never heard of her till now . who's the mom
latinoheatariel Hi...her name is Jean Christensen,Andre dated her and they got pregnant, but there was a legal battle, until blood tests confirmed he was Robin's biological Father, here is the link to that ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html. Tnx
Thanks I really liked Andre the giant
latinoheatariel oh mee as well yw:)
ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
He always said she was not his. Looks exactly like her mom. She lies, she never knew him. He took 3 two minute photos with her 3 times in her life. Thats it . Left most of his estate to his driver.
Look them up on youtube...look up interview with Andre the Giants x gf, Christine.
I can see the resemblance.
good !
Why didn’t she watch the matches?
any normal person would cash in....it's his daughter....she isn't doing anything wrong.....but to put her down for cashing in....your fools
Lol look at the old people in the back trying to be conspicuous in the back
Priceless
whoa. Looks freakishly like him.
Bull she looks just like her mim. He denied she was his.
He only met her 3 times.
ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
beautiful like her daddy
Dorothy Hunter I've took shits that look better than her
Dorothy Hunter agree,Andre inspite of having. acromegaly had this cute charming appeal to women...and Miss Robin is cute as well
@@landonspointofview2502 you check on how does your shits look like ?
Bull she looks looks just like her mom and he denied she was his. Ge refused to see her. Only met her 3 times as a child. She is a lying opportunist by the looks of this.
ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
I nearly got murdered by a borderline-bipolar woman I had helped for 12 years. She ahd 2 children form another man and both are crippled on the isnide. If that mother was only 10 % as toxic I very well understand Andre. A toxic person means pure misery if not conseqnuently avoided. Other option is punished nowadays by the law. In that case it was mainly the law that prevented Andre to really help his lil one when she grew up... . Andre is as french as Thor btw... :) His East European genetics are clearly visible in his daughter`s face.
It would've been great to see her wrestle in WWE to follow her father's footsteps
Of course think your dad's a giant and strong enough to pick up a car she is the safest girl in the world
Dr. Terry Todd and wife Janis standing behind her
She sounds like Chyna.
I'm assuming she's single
She must keep her husband in line😁
ask Kamala if he was a gentle giant
She needa stop wrestling them doughnuts
Sweetie.
He denied her. She lies. She did not even know him.
Looks just like him
Bull, she looks like her mom. He denied her. Never wanted to see her. Her mom lied too. She lies for fame! Opportunist
ua-cam.com/video/98NqYMnZgL8/v-deo.html
🤣. You are gullible. She never knew him. He never believed she was his. He denied her. Only posed for 3 photos for two minutes...they never had any relationship. She looks identical to her mom. Check out on youtube, interview of Christine, andre the giants x gf.
Easy to see a resemblance to her dad
She's full of it! It's all I'm going to say !!
6filthy66 I have to agree with u on that assessment she did an interview about her dad when she was 12 years old her and her mom actually and they both dogged him
wonder if she's going to be a GIANT like he was
well she is 5ft 11 so she seems to have inherited some of his height
I wonder if she speaks French.
Wait a tic......Robin never really had a real father daughter relationship with Andre. Robin and her mom went on national TV in the 90’s telling everyone how much of a crappy father Andre was and how she only saw him one time when she was a baby. Now it’s all flowers and butterflies for the sake of being relevant.
Thats called MUNAAY!🤑🤑🤑
@@nathueil1 True.
Opportunist for fame now. She is a liar.
Her mom had brain washed her like he didn’t want to be a part of her life.
SHE GETTIN ALL THAT MUNAAAY🤑🤑🤑. P.S SORRY FOR THE GIANT LETTERS!😳
They said she was real tall no she was not
ok
Seem nice
