Age Revelation: Is 'The Paper' Star Ramona Young Older Than You Thought?

One of the stars of The Paper (pictured), a sequel series to the American version of The Office, has reportedly had a false age listed online

AGE-GATE SCANDAL ROCKS THE PAPER: Star Ramona Young's True Age Exposed!

The drama just got juicier at Peacock's new comedy series, The Paper! Sources close to the show have revealed that star Ramona Young, who plays Nicole Lee in the struggling local newspaper sitcom, has been accused of lying about her age. And we've got the tea!

According to public documents obtained by TheScholarlyNote.com, Young was born in August 1992, which would make her a whopping six years older than her listed age on IMDb and Wikipedia - 33 years old as of September 2025! That's right; the actress has been passing herself off as a spry 27-year-old to land those high-profile roles.

Nicole Young, who plays one of the employees of a struggling local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, has been listed as being 27 years old on her IMDb page and on Wikipedia

But fans have been suspicious of Young's age for quite some time. A Reddit post last week sparked a heated discussion about the alleged age discrepancy, with one user claiming that Young looked "great" but not at all like a teenager in her breakout role as Eleanor Wong in Netflix's Never Have I Ever. Another user claimed to have known Young personally in 2010 at Cal State LA and confirmed that she was indeed older than what was listed online.

It seems the rumors about Young's true age have been swirling for years, with fans speculating that she might be closer to her costar Maitreyi Ramakrishnan's age - 23. But now, it looks like we have confirmation: Young is indeed in her early 30s!

But why did Young feel the need to deceive about her age? Was it to land those coveted high school-age roles or just to fit into the industry's youth-obsessed mold? One thing's for sure - it's time for Young to come clean and own up to her true age.

The Paper, which premiered on Peacock this month, has already generated buzz with its witty humor and nostalgic nods to The Office. But will this age-gate scandal affect the show's success? Only time will tell. One thing's for sure - we'll be keeping a close eye on Young's next move.

In related news, The Paper features a star-studded cast, including Domhnall Gleeson as the new editor-in-chief of the struggling local newspaper and Melvin Gregg as the charming but pesky ad man Detrick Moore. And in a nod to The Office fans everywhere, Oscar Martinez (played by Oscar Nunez) makes a return appearance on the show - with hints that more cameos might be on the way.

But back to Young's age: we've got some digging to do! What's her motivation for lying about her age? Is she trying to fit in with her younger co-stars or just trying to keep up appearances in Hollywood?

One thing's for sure - this age-gate scandal is about to get a whole lot juicier. Stay tuned, folks!

Update: We've reached out to Young's representative for comment, but so far, no word has been forthcoming. TheScholarlyNote.com will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.

In the meantime, fans are taking to social media to share their thoughts on Young's age-gate scandal. "I always thought she looked older than her listed age," wrote one fan. "But I guess it's not just about looks - it's about keeping up appearances in Hollywood!" said another.

What do you think? Should Young come clean about her true age and own up to the deception? Or is this just a minor blip on the radar of her illustrious career?
