We Need To Talk About Courtney Stodden

By Courtney Enlow | Posted Under Celebrities Are Better than You | Comments (82)

Courtney-Stodden-Twitter-Hollywood-Photo-500x375.jpg

I have remained somewhat Pajiba-silent on the subject of Courtney Stodden, for I am conflicted.

On one hand, she is an explosion of hilarity. She is not even a real person. She is a strange parody of a Penthouse of a walking lip injection. She is boobs and hair and misused alliteration and I don’t understand it but I am fascinated by it.

On the other hand, she is, in theory, 17 years old.

There’s the conflict.

I know what frees most of us up from any and all discomfort, and it’s the fact that she looks at least as old as Dina Lohan, possibly just shy of Lindsay. If we convince ourselves she’s 43, minimum, we don’t feel like this is as creepy.

Except, what if she’s not?

We have commenters here, Pajibans we love and trust, who have testified to her youth. RadarOnline got the marriage certificate and E! got a hold of her purported birth certificate and both list her as being born in 1994, which means she didn’t even exist yet when “Saved By The Bell” went off the air. She’s only been able to get into R-rated movies for less than two months. She should technically be a high school junior. She’s six months younger than Justin Bieber. This is what she looked like not too long ago.

She’s a baby.

And, yet, she’s married to a 51-year-old man, is shopping around a reality show that is totally going to happen, got kicked out of a pumpkin patch for being the Courtney Stoddenest and tweets things like this: “Exotically crawling through such a kittenish day as my saucy senses playfully pounce on every single frisky fantasy that comes my way; Rawr!”

I’m at a loss. Sometimes I want to laugh, but mostly squivved. It’s like Charlie Sheen, only a thousand times more bad-touchy.

Because, COME ON, because her obviously shit parents signed some waiver, she’s legally allowed to be pedoed on a daily basis? If this was “SVU”, Stabler would shoot Hutchison’s dick off by the end of the episode. B.D. Wong would diagnose her with some crazy skank disease and everyone would live uncomfortably after. I’m so confused. What the hell happened to this girl?

I hate that fame is such an attainable end game that this is merely the latest way to achieve it. Get giant fake boobs before your real boobs are even done growing, marry yourself some creepy guy I genuinely cannot remember from “Lost” and KABLAMMO instant famousness.

So, instead of soapboxing about how I feel, today, I ask you to tell me how to feel. Because I’m broken. Chick broke me.

I am deeply disturbed by this whole scenario. Mainly because it's completely ruined "The Green Mile" for me forever.

Posted by: cinekat at October 27, 2011 2:03 PM

@cinekat

Agreed. Times a thousand.

I've tried to avoid this chick...but she's freaking everywhere, and it's disturbing.

And her Tweets? God damn, what is that about!?

Posted by: Candee at October 27, 2011 2:14 PM

cinekat - It shouldn't ruin The Green Mile for you, because he played a skeevy character in the movie, so it just seems fitting.

Posted by: tamatha at October 27, 2011 2:14 PM

There's skeevy and then there's this.

Let's not toss around terms like "pedo" all willy-nilly. Their relationship is kind of creepy, but the age of consent is 16 in most states (and 14 for all you lucky North Carolinians) so is not a crime and the comparison cheapens the very serious issue of pedophilia. Besides, nobody interested young girls would have any interest in porking Courtney Stodden.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at October 27, 2011 2:21 PM

I'm not sure how to feel either, beyond appalled at the entire scenario. I don't get it, and I don't want to look at it anymore. She looks HORRIBLE. He looks creepy. I don't get the tweets, because her head seems too empty for that vocabulary. I can certainly see the reality show happening, it has that train-wreck quality that some people really enjoy. Whether she is happy where she is or being manipulated into it, I feel sorry for her.

Posted by: ChickaBoom! at October 27, 2011 2:23 PM

What do we know about the parents? If at 17 I'd asked for plastic surgery and brought home a guy my Dad's age my folks would've converted to Catholicism just to send me to a nunnery!

Posted by: cinekat at October 27, 2011 2:24 PM

There's something about her and her whole deal that reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith-like, she kind of seems in on the joke but she doesn't really get the joke and it just makes you feel sad to be subjected to her. And then you remember she's 17 and it goes beyond sad to just goddamn tragic.

Posted by: Jen at October 27, 2011 2:27 PM

I think Stodden is the ultimate symbol of our society's bankrupt morals. Fame and money are everything and how one goes about it? Well, clearly the end justifies the means. Her parents? Jeezus!

By all means, be depressed because it is depressing to watch this unfold. I can't get away from this girl on the internet no matter how much I try and the fact that she infiltrated my beloved Pajiba just proves how ubiquitous she's become. Bleah!

Posted by: NeoCleo at October 27, 2011 2:29 PM

i had never even heard of her until JUST NOW.

There is a name for this type of person and it's ephebophile. The idea of dating young girls/women who seems like a women, but being able to exert power in the relationship due to the fact they aren't adults. It's not illegal, but it is creepy.

Posted by: Nimue at October 27, 2011 2:31 PM

Reality TV culture is the reason for all this! There are thousands of brainless idiots running around right now trying to sell their souls to be on TV and willing to debase themselves in any manner just for fame. And the crazier they are, the more famous they'll be. I don't care how old she is, this dumbass girl and her dumbass parents have probably been dreaming of a TV deal since before she even met this guy.

The only reason it's even a story is because he was an actor at one point. There's plenty of crazy assholes marrying young girls with the parents permission all over the place but because she's got a shoddy connection and a marketable face their "real lives" are going to be on TV.

Reality TV encouraged these people and now it's going to feed them their dreams. Reality TV is a blight on mankind.

Posted by: Paultera at October 27, 2011 2:33 PM

Agree with all above,EXCEPT, people fake birth certificates and identities ALL the time. I can not honestly believe this woman isn't 26 or OLDER.

Posted by: Jamie at October 27, 2011 2:34 PM

Stodden is the strange by product of three elements: The Bible / SexBots / Power lines running over her house.

All I see is a broken, exploited child who seems likely to have been a victim of abuse. She may be the age of consent, but she is still a child to me. It makes me sad for her and sad about the machine that will allow her own naive self-exploitation for as long as they can cash the cheques.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at October 27, 2011 2:47 PM

Does it matter if she's really 26? She is being portrayed as a sexually-voracious child. It's still gross.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at October 27, 2011 2:51 PM

Weird... if you enter Courtney Stodden in the Wikipedia search, it automatically redirects you to Doug Hutchinson's page.

Oh my giddy aunt. I'd heard that Tooms had married himself a child bride but I didn't know the scope of the insanity. Now I have this horrible feeling that it's all going to turn out exactly like an X-Files episode. He's going to make money off of her until she's all used up, eat her liver, and then move on to the next one.

I am creeped out by everything.

Posted by: Lipton at October 27, 2011 3:04 PM

she was so pretty before... it looks like she sold her soul for fame and it made her all decrepit

she is still a child so its funny watching her try to act sexy and it's basically just a child's interpretation of what sexy is just way too much pursed lips and weird stares

Posted by: craig at October 27, 2011 3:05 PM

All that I can see is sadness and desperation.

Posted by: admin at October 27, 2011 3:06 PM

She sold her soul? She dresses like a prostitute?

At 16, her age when she married? No. Her parents, and now her husband, dressed her like a prostitute and are now busily peddling her body and soul to the highest bidder. And unfortunately for her, so far the highest bids haven't been all that spectacular.

I'm sure there are any number of folks who think that this is Courtney's doing, or that at least she's a willing collaborator. But come on. At 17, what does anyone really know of life and the world? And what does a small-town girl, indifferently educated and poorly raised from the looks of it, know about anything? At 17, I thought I knew everything, and chances are you did too. It's only later in life that we realize what idiots teens can be -- and if, like me, you're very lucky, you have/had a mom who was smart enough and strong enough to put her foot down and steer you right, whether you liked it or not. Courtney's mom isn't a mom -- she's a pimp.

This poor, poor kid.

Just because a law written by men ages ago says that the age of consent is 14, it doesn't make it any less creepy.

I'm with you, Courtney the author: I don't know what the hell this is, but whatever it is, it's sad.

Sad. What is with the teeth lip thing she has going on?? ANd her eyes looked drugged out in that header pic. Sad. And BTW her hubby is gross looking.

Posted by: jenniferk525 at October 27, 2011 3:27 PM

Assuming for a moment that she is indeed a 17-year-old aspiring fame-whore and B-list starfucker, I place the blame on this firmly on her parents.

This is a still child, albeit a teenager. Hypothetically, if I were her parent, the only question would be what loam pile I'd be burying the 51-year-old's woodchippered remains. The subject of plastic surgery would only come up if I needed to go on the lam for the discovery of aforementioned woodchippered remains. Not that I'd ever have to worry about the situation, because I'm fairly confident that I'd never have to deal with it in the first place since I believe I'd raise my kid with a lot more sense than that.

Unfortunately in light of the past 10 year of pseudo-reality shows, it seems only (de)evolutionary that someone eventually would betroth their child to some slimeball who could just about be her grandfather let alone father. Hey, we already have people who have received fame for, multiple births, full quivers, polygamy, being sluts, being trophy wives, being douchebags, being short, being fat, being hoarders, being surgically altered, being crazy, being addicts, being has-beens, being never-will-bes, having grotesque debilitations, being in jail, being investigated, and a plethora of other asinine antics that never would have earned anything except our irritation in the last century. We've already seen reality TV producers don't give a shit about people's well beings or breaking the law so long as they get ratings and money for it. These people have gotten both money and attention, and worse yet despite our disgust in here over such things, the masses have proven time and again that the stupid are a very viable market.

I'm with TylerDFC. I'm still holding out the tiniest of hopes that this is an all elaborate prank and she's really 42. Because to believe otherwise is painful.

Her tweets, however, are a work of art. Meow!

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at October 27, 2011 3:38 PM

Tracer...did you just defend a 51 year old marrying a 16/17 year old because it's legal? And then tried to refine what a pedophile is?

So if he was 49 and she was 14 it would be cool because North Carolina says it is?

That's...odd.

Posted by: Formiga at October 27, 2011 3:43 PM

Oh, for fuck's sake. NO, I WASN'T FUCKING DEFENDING HIM. I'm saying he doesn't meet the very specific criteria for pedophilia. Yes, he's a fucking creep. No, he's not a fucking pedophile. If she was 7, he'd be a pedophile. But she's 17, so he's a fucking creep. Have I made it fucking simple enough now?

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at October 27, 2011 3:48 PM

Posted by: PissBoy at October 27, 2011 4:05 PM

Show of hands if you waited until you were 18 to have sex. Okay, now show of hand for people who have never been attracted to someone under the age of 18 (Llama Lad wasn't asked to take his shirt off in Twilight for nothin' gals - that boy was sculpted out of warm caramel).

Is 16 an arbitrary age for consent? I guess? Is 18 also and arbitrary age for consent? Yeah, totally. Especially when the human body is ready to procreate at around 12-13 years of age (which is when I started chasing girls - literally on my bike, which I was able to steer with my tiny erect penis). Our bodies are ready long before our emotions, and there isn't a way to judge the universal readiness of the population; you pretty much have to take it on a case by case basis. Some people are thirty and aren't ready for a sexual relationship.

What's creepy here is not that she's being touted as a sex symbol at 17. What's creepy is that she married a dude in his 50s. Any way you slice it, she's probably not ready to be in a mature adult relationship. Any way you slice it he's taking advantage of her inexperience. That's creepy.

Tracer and anyone else who notes (quite dispassionately, I might add) that pedophelia does not mean chasing after 17 year old girls, is not trying to imply that this is cool. Nobody thinks this is cool (maybe a smattering of bros). It's clearly ickey. But that doesn't mean it doesn't fall within the confines of what is acceptible in our otherwise repressed and puritanical society.

Posted by: superasente at October 27, 2011 4:06 PM

Suprasente gettin a logicalizical up in this bitch!!! Go ahead man...put your tiny erect thing down.

Posted by: PissBoy at October 27, 2011 4:11 PM

Oh my god I am siding with Tracer. He's not a pedophile. It got lost in all of this but, I said it earlier: he's an ephebophile. Doesn't make it better, but there is language for this type of thing.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at October 27, 2011 4:20 PM

Doug Hutchinson is the creepy one in this relationship and I'm wondering why he isn't get more shit for marrying a 16 year old girl. The attention is all on her, which is sad, because this guy needs a swift kick to the nards and a mandate to stay 500 feet away from playgrounds.

Posted by: MonkeyHateClean at October 27, 2011 4:35 PM

Personally, I think the karma train is gonna roll into town REAL hard on Percy. Has anyone ever seen what happens to a man when he gets sodomized by a 9-dicked walrus? Here's hoping they catch it on film while shooting the new reality show.

Posted by: PissBoy at October 27, 2011 4:39 PM

There is pretty much nothing sadder than pop culture making a joke out what is clearly a little girl in need of help. Sure, she signed up for it, but this is going to define her entire life and she's only just 17. I could barely hold a semi-intelligent conversation at 17, but you never would have been able to convince me of that. Even if she grows up and becomes a doctor or something, the headlines will all be 'teen sexpot trainwreck now useful!'

Because of her willing media exposure, she'll never be viewed as a real human being outside of her family and friends, and even then that's not a sure thing. Let's all take a second and think about how sad that is.

Posted by: halfpastoctober at October 27, 2011 4:56 PM

This is actually the first I'm hearing of this person, so it's odd hearing that she's kind of a celebrity Telltale Heart driving some people crazy. I can't say what my magic secret is, but I would guess partly it is that I have a more boring life than the author of this article.

I'm just saying, there is a cure.

Off to scrub my brain with something wholesome. Maybe Little House, where Pa always cries at the end,

Posted by: cinekat at October 27, 2011 5:00 PM

OK, her parents are horrible fucking people and so is her husband. Would her being 18 have made her all of a sudden not a victim? 20? Why? Lindsay Lohan's a piece of shit and her parents are certainly a huge part of the problem. It doesn't change who she is. This Courtney girl will be an adult in the latter seasons of this circus and she'll be a rich-ass faux celebrity. She'll be content with that, too. So let's stop pretending like she's all innocent and that she has some chance at being a normal adult ever.

Posted by: Paultera at October 27, 2011 5:05 PM

for all the lamenting, no one seems to assign her any agency of her own. young people are easily manipulated and not always great at thinking things through and do not have experience to lean on, but i can assure you, when i was 17, i was my own person doing my own thing.

this endless 'it was her parents', 'she must have been abused', 'she was sold to him', is all very silly. Someone else pointed out that there is nothing new or original about young girls chasing older guys, or older guys chasing younger girls. is he a skeev? absolutely. is she a skank? absolutely.

is there some great tragedy here, a helpless victim, a little dolly for us to weep over? i don't think so. considering the feminist credentials around here, you would think a few of you might allow her some of her own responsibility and acknowledge that she exercises agency in her life.

Posted by: Amanda6 at October 27, 2011 5:07 PM

It isn't clear however the fuck old she is or isn't but it is clear that she is whacked out/cracked out of her skull on something. If, IF she is actually still a child and someone (Doug, parents, both) is keeping her pilled up? That is leading straight to Anna Nicole Smith territory and a cautionary tale hour-long special on E if not jail time for someone.

She can barely keep her head upright in most interviews and she can barely form words. Her facial expressions and the thing with the lips, and her eyes that barely focus, and not being able to be still? Come on. That child-woman is on something and it is painful to watch. And while their, their, union (I hesitate to call it a marriage.) might not be illegal, it is certainly amoral, immoral, and thoroughly reprehensible.

Posted by: Shonda at October 27, 2011 5:17 PM

Do you really think her parents were attentive and responsible with her and just suddenly dropped the ball altogether at 16? Unlikely, I should think. This smacks of an ongoing problem, And if they were still responsible, what would have been the odds of them signing their consent to this marriage? Slim and nil. And if they actually had done their job, I find it just as unlikely she'd have ended up in the situation on her own. 16 year-olds make mistakes, this goes far beyond that.

It's kind of hard to gauge how much personal responsibility she truly has in all this if she were never given the proper tools to make the right decisions in the first place. Without a more detailed profile of her childhood, I can only guess that many children far younger have had better values impressed onto them, and that is her parents responsibility.

Pissboy, a pederast is a man who engages in sexual activity with a boy. Weirdly it was reading the Diamond Throne that made me look up the word!

Posted by: noo at October 27, 2011 5:38 PM

I don't care how many birth certificates she pulls out of her ass, bitch is not 17. Bitch is not even 25. She looks like a 30 year old crack whore pretending to be a teenager. I think she and her "husband" are playing some elaborate, disturbing trick on the public for fame and it's obviously working.

Posted by: LaRhue at October 27, 2011 7:04 PM

I believe that she's 17. She acts like it. She LOOKS much older, but that's because of the probable load of work she had done. That "before" picture more or less confirms it.

I don't know what to make of her. On the one hand, you're right, she's like a walking parody. But like Charlie Sheen, I just think it's strange, sad, and gross. It doesn't matter if Courtney Stodden is really that aggressively stupid and over-the-top sexual or if it's just an act. Either way, it's depressing.

Posted by: Sassafrass Green at October 27, 2011 7:22 PM

If she's being drugged, then her husband and parents should be locked up -- I think we can all agree on that. Otherwise, this falls short of being tragic to me. Maybe it's a "shame", or "too bad", but it's just possible enough that these people are all simply weirdos, to whom the correct response would be ignoring them. To be sure, Courtney Stodden is at the very least a specific type of weirdo that could only be minted by our current cultural obsessions, but it's also an immutable truth that weird will find a way.

Hi Dancy! Your last name wouldn't be Stodden too, would it?

I don't know how much I care about her past, as it's past. She's emancipated, I assume. Her life. She can be as gross as she wants.

Posted by: Protoguy at October 28, 2011 12:45 AM

I thought it was pretty much common knowledge by this point that it's actually her mom pretending to be her. I give the whole bunch of fuck nuts involved with this fame-scam a ton of credit for being able to rope thousands of people into paying attention to them for this long, despite the fact that they don't, you know, actually do anything.

Posted by: Andreas Depottey at October 28, 2011 7:39 AM

When he met her, even HE thought she was older, so he's not a any kind of fillintheblankfile. I think he gets off on her trying to be sexy to him. And she gets off on thinking he's her ticket to fame.

That said, I think she's in her 40's and trying to look 16/17. She dresses like an older woman who's trying to look young. What young women who are trying to be sexy want to emulate Pamela Anderson? or Marilyn Monroe? or Daisy Duke? These are sex symbols from your parent's era, not a current 16 year old's era.

If she really is 17? Well, let's just say I'm in my 50's and I look younger than she does.

I'm just waiting for when he tires of her, or she finally realizes she married an old man on the Z-list.

Posted by: BWeaves at October 28, 2011 10:10 AM

You know who I think the really sick one is in all this? You people. The endlessly gaping masses willing to sit there and eat up public indecency, so that you can sit here and place judgement on individuals who you don't know. Is he a sick pervert who wants to sleep with someone that looks like they're in college? Yeah, so are most of your husbands, hence the fairly popular "schoolgirl" look. But it's not illegal. Is she probably a vapid teenage girl? Sure, she also is damn aware of the fact that she's making an incredibly lucrative life decision, one that will leave her with more money than anyone on this website. Is it technically prostitution? yeah, but so is porn. Are her parents terrible people? Who knows? maybe they'd rather see her screw this 50 year old for millions of dollars, than screw her highschool professor for an A she didn't deserve. They are all terrible people. But making even more people aware of this crap, which will in turn make all of them more money...makes YOU terrible people. Goodnight, Blank out...*drops mic dismounts high horse*

"We Need To Talk About Courtney Stodden" Why?

I try hard not to think about this kid. It makes me so sad, that such an obvious case of exploitation is taking place is an everyone just thinks it's a prank or a joke or finds it too bizarre to really be worried about.

I've seen another, colour photo of her a from about six months ago, which shows a baby faced, adorable six teen year old who'd have fit in perfectly on some light hearted teen sitcom or some such thing, an all american girl type.

Nowadays, if that girl isn't doped up to the eyeballs and only half aware of what her parents have done to her, then I'll eat my fucking laptop.

I find it interesting that almost every outlet refers to Doug as the actor from Lost or The Green Mile...because I remember him best as the child rapist from A Time to Kill who gets justifiably shot up by Samuel L. Jackson.

This seems an inevitable consequence of a culture that has devalued the sacred institution of marriage to the point it becomes a prize in a game show like the appalling "Bachelor" franchise, where the women may be older but are certainly no more mature than Courtney here.

That said, there probably isn't a 50+ guy in the universe who doesn't harbor the illusion he could still score seem teenage tail if he really wanted to. The vast majority of us simply never get the opportunity.

I have to wonder what would happen in Hollywood if it were illegal for parents to profit from pimping out their children. Would we have a Courtney, a Lilo or a Macauley Culkin? I'm thinkin' not. And none of this is new - Brooke Sheilds's mother commissioned nude photos of her 10yo daughter, and then there's Gypsy Rose Lee... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkaK1fRNOCQ&feature=related
