Courtney Stodden breaks down in tears, sharing emotional update on third day of her sobriety journey
Courtney Stodden recently opened up emotionally about her ongoing struggle with sobriety and the painful memories tied to her past, including her marriage to much-older actor Doug Hutchison. In a raw video shared on Thursday, the 30-year-old reality TV star, makeup-free and visibly emotional, revealed she is on day three of her journey to give up alcohol. Along with physical changes such as breakouts on her face and chest, Stodden said difficult memories from her past are resurfacing, particularly those involving Hutchison, whom she described as her former 'groomer.' Stodden, a Washington native, shared that Hutchison, 65 at the time of their marriage, consumed large amounts of alcohol daily and pressured her to drink as a way to exert control over her. Determined not to feel "out of control" anymore, Stodden is committed to sobriety despite the challenges. She acknowledged that some friends are uncomfortable with her healthier lifestyle, but remains firm in her decision. 'If people don't get it, then maybe they shouldn't be around,' she said. Earlier this week, Stodden told she is 'very happy' with her decision to stop drinking and emphasized how it has improved her mental health. She explained that alcohol was initially an escape from the pressures of fame and trauma, but eventually became a trap that increased her feelings of shame and confusion. 'This breakup isn't just with a substance—it's with a version of myself I'm ready to leave behind,' she said. Stodden described alcohol as 'total toxic ex energy' and expressed her commitment to cutting ties with it for good. Stodden's announcement on Instagram on Tuesday was met with support, including from Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Crystal Hefner and former talk show host Ricki Lake. The model also reflected on her turbulent teenage marriage to Hutchison, whom she married at 16 when he was 51. She called the marriage emotionally abusive and vowed to use her voice to empower other survivors. 'I am living life on my own terms now,' Stodden said, highlighting her strength and resilience as she continues her healing journey. Over the years, Stodden has appeared on reality shows like Couples Therapy, Celebrity Big Brother, and Hollywood Hillbillies, sharing parts of her life with the public.

Former teen bride Courtney Stodden is mistaken for a Big Bang Theory star as she models a bikini
Hollywood pinup Courtney Stodden showed off her toned figure in a new Instagram post made on Sunday. The 30-year-old reality TV siren from Tacoma, Washington shared saucy images that made fans swoon. Several even said that the former teen bride resembled a successful Hollywood star: Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco, 39. 'You look like Kaley Cuoco, what's up?' asked a follower while another said, 'Hot like the Big Bang chick.' Stodden was posing in a bright pink string bikini that had a slightly mismatched color. She was taking a mirror selfie in a bathroom. The budding movie star wore no makeup as she had her blonde hair down over her bare shoulders. Her caption read: 'This bikini has been resurrected #easterbod #nomakeupselfie.' Then there were followers who wanted her to have other thoughts on Easter: 'You need Jesus! He can give you what is real and real life, a real purpose. Light in your life. Forgiveness of your sins, a burden removed! Real rest for your spirit and soul.' This person had fun with the caption: 'Now I'm gonna be the one needed resurrection after seeing this!! God you kill me sooo beautiful.' The We Are America singer was in her new Calabasas, California home as she slipped on black sunglasses. The former teen bride is wed to movie producer Jared Safier. Courtney and Jared wed in Palm Springs in December and seem to be in the honeymoon phase ever since. This comes after she had a tough time during the Los Angeles fires. The flames crept close to her house as she was ready to pack up in case she needed to be evacuated. The small screen star was seen crying as she struggled to deal with the chaos last month. She told that having to evacuate her new home in Calabasas has brought back bad feelings from when she was younger. The looker explained that in the past few years she has had to move from rental to rental as she hit hard times economically after a divorce and broken engagement. And now that she had to pack and leave her new dwelling, all those fears and emotions are flooding back to her. Stodden said it is a true mental health crisis for her as her anxiety has flared up. She is finding the situation hard to deal with. Courtney was doing much better late last year when she wed Safier and he bought her her very first home in Calabasas, a town which the Kardashian family made famous. In February she wrote about her pain. 'I was really hoping 2025 would be a fresh start—full of joy and good things,' Stodden began in her Instagram caption. 'The holidays should've been a time of celebration, but instead, they felt like a lot of stress. I mean, I just got married and moved into my first home—huge milestones! 'But even with all that, it's come with its challenges. The fires have kept me on edge, and I haven't fully been able to catch my breath after moving around from rental to rental (all of my adult life). It's been so hard to watch, and it's impossible to ignore the constant threat. 'I already deal with anxiety, so now with the uncertainty, I'm constantly in that fight-or-flight mode, feeling like I can never fully settle or feel peace at home,' she added. 'I just really hope things start to get better. ❤️prayers to all Angelino's affected by this tragic event.' This comes just as the Washington native shared a note about 'coming back' while touching on her 'strength and ambition' following her teen wedding scandal from over a decade ago.

Courtney Stodden reveals cyberbullying from Chrissy Teigen and other celebrities led to suicidal thoughts
Reality TV star Courtney Stodden has opened up about the severe impact of cyberbullying, revealing that she once considered suicide due to online harassment from celebrities, including Chrissy Teigen. Stodden, now 30, shared her experience in the upcoming ABC News documentary IMPACT x Nightline: Confessions of a Child Bride, set to premiere on Hulu. Stodden's controversial marriage to 50-year-old actor Doug Hutchison at age 16 made her a frequent target of public criticism, much of which escalated into cyberbullying by celebrities and social media users alike. She reveals that during this time, she wrote a suicide note, feeling there was no way out. She specifically mentions Teigen, who posted multiple derogatory comments about her, including one stating that her "fantasy" was for Stodden to take a "dirt nap," a slang term referring to death. Seeing such remarks from a high-profile celebrity contributed to Stodden's mental health struggles. Although Teigen later apologized publicly for her past tweets, Stodden has previously stated that she never received a private apology and questioned the sincerity of the statement. Stodden was also targeted by other celebrities, including American Pie actor Jason Biggs, who has since apologized for his remarks about her. The documentary revisits the relentless criticism Stodden faced as a teenager and how public scrutiny can have long-term mental health consequences. As conversations about online accountability grow, the film highlights the dangers of cyberbullying and the need for greater awareness. IMPACT x Nightline: Confessions of a Child Bride premieres on Hulu tomorrow.
