Though, lately, she seems to be channeling a late-era Britney Spears, with piecey long blonde hair and sparkly chokers. Although Stodden looks markedly older than a teenager, thanks to layers of makeup and a body that seems to belong to someone long past their adolescence, the age difference is immediately clear.
Looks aside, Stodden was still a child bride who needed and received the consent of her parents to marry in Nevada, where the legal age of marriage is a mere Her mother signed off on it, her father walked her down the aisle, and Stodden and Hutchison went viral and became immediate tabloid fixtures — a kind of national freak show.
She says it took her two years to even figure out how to file the paperwork. And in the years she was married to Hutchison, Stodden made a sort of career out of her own notoriety: She was a cast member on Couples Therapy With Dr. But she also opened up about how hard it was to be criticized by a cruel public nearly constantly, about her miscarriage and her sexual assaults , about her depression and mental health.
Whether you think she was just a foolish young girl seduced by the chance to be famous and sold out by parents who wanted to be adjacent to that fame, or an abuse victim with no agency, or the knowing architect of her own creepy narrative, Stodden was roundly mocked for years by a public waiting for her 15 minutes to be up.
The American public seemed remarkably comfortable sneering at a year-old who married someone old enough to know better, and Stodden grew up in a kind of media wasteland where the easy and seemingly reasonable thing to do was to call her a dumb slut.
The way Stodden was treated as a punchline makes some sense when you look at her and Hutchison in any photo from , or listen to them in any interview. Come on, Doug, get it together. They look completely mismatched and absurd together, and Stodden knows it.
Now, at 24, Stodden — who was tabloid fodder before she was old enough to legally smoke, vote, or drink — is an almost-divorced, vaguely recognizable reality show professional who has burned through more money in a few years than most of us see in a lifetime. No one else. But how do you establish yourself as an artist, or figure out who you really are, or even try to reckon with what your image once was, when the public still treats you as nothing more than a walking dumb-blonde joke?
Courtney Stodden is hardly the first Hollywood woman to idolize Marilyn Monroe to the point of mimicry. Marilyn will forever be a compelling character study for women of a certain age fascinated by her beauty, her untimely death, and how men seemingly fell to their knees at her throne. While Stodden certainly romanticizes Marilyn, she says she actually keeps her around as a reminder of how very wrong it can all go: the trauma, the pills, and having your narrative consumed by the men around you.
I want to live and be happy and be free. I need to be vulnerable and learn how to coexist with fame. But while I might call what happened to her trauma, and where I might have said the real-life power dynamic between Stodden and her much-older husband was disturbingly clear, Stodden is less black and white.
He has his thumbprint all over my spirit, and that part is hard for me to grow out of. But the situation was so unique, right or wrong. Stodden and Hutchison separated multiple times during their marriage, hashing out their disputes online or in tabloid interviews. One thing is settled, however: Their shared dog, Dourtney, lives with Hutchison full time. If you watched Stodden on any number of reality shows she appeared on, you know all about her mother, Krista Keller.
Stodden and Hutchison first connected when Keller contacted Hutchison about potentially enrolling Stodden in an acting class he taught in LA, while Stodden and Keller were still living in Washington. How this professional relationship turned romantic is still unclear, but Stodden says that her mother, Keller, monitored all her email conversations with Hutchison. They just really hit it off. Nonetheless, Keller is clear that she gave Hutchison her approval to marry Courtney.
