Courtney Stodden Reflects on Controversial 2012 Sketch

Courtney Stodden Reflects on Controversial 2012 Sketch

Courtney Stodden, who was 17 when she appeared in a comedy sketch with Jason Alexander, has spoken about feeling manipulated and unaware of the physical contact involved.

The sketch, which was later removed, featured Alexander making suggestive remarks and touching Stodden.

Stodden has used this experience to advocate for legislation to end child marriage in California.

Jason Alexander has apologized for the sketch, but Stodden hopes for more concrete actions to support her cause.

She wants to be remembered for her efforts to prevent similar experiences for other minors.
