[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Courtney Stodden is setting the record straight.
Courtney first became infamous as the 16-year-old wife of the much-older character actor Doug Hutchison. They finally divorced in 2020 after almost ten years together, and in the time since, Courtney (who identifies as nonbinary) has been reclaiming their narrative.
After years of defending the unusual (and uncomfortable) arrangement, they finally admitted that their relationship with Doug was an abusive one.
They also spoke out about the intense bullying at the hands of the media and the public that occurred when they were just a teenager trapped in an untenable situation.
