I’ve seen her in public several times and people really don’t bother her.

I see she’s wearing that North La combo motorcycle helmet/hockey mask.

I played football at Captain Shreve with Patrick Bertinelli. He was a year ahead of me and I was his backup. He had a bit of a long hair surfer vibe, but a totally normal guy.
Btw, Valerie did not grow up in Shreveport. Her family moved there after she was already a sitcom star.

Not really. It made the rounds of social media when people first realized she was living here. She’s also embraced the area, so It’s not like she’s been hiding.

You’re underestimating the reach of social media not to mention good old fashioned word of mouth.

I think most of Shreveport knows she lives here now. She was all over social media and the local news when she did the ice skating in her driveway video back in 2021.
I doubt I would recognize her in Whole Foods though.

I'm not saying they don't know she's there, but if you saw her in the grocery store she just looks like an average middle aged woman in North LA. There's nothing inherently noticeable about her that would make you say, "That's Oksana Baiul."

They know what she looks like and there’s that accent. How long have you been in Shreveport since you seem to know so much about what people in Shreveport think?

Your average mom living in south highlands, spring lake, or the ellerbe area would.
