Courtney Stodden Responds to Jason Alexander's Apology

Courtney Stodden has responded to an apology from actor Jason Alexander regarding a 2012 comedy sketch in which they both participated. Stodden, who was 17 at the time, expressed that she did not have the legal power to consent to her participation in the sketch, which included inappropriate content. Alexander acknowledged the inappropriateness of the sketch and apologized for any harm it caused Stodden. In her response, Stodden accepted the apology but emphasized that a meaningful apology should lead to change, suggesting that Alexander support the organization Unchained At Last, which advocates against child marriage. Stodden, who was married to Doug Hutchison at a young age, is now an advocate for banning child marriage in the United States and has been active in raising awareness about related legislation.
