Courtney Stodden (FBF)

This week, Father Cooper sits down with Courtney Stodden.
Courtney broke national headlines back in 2011 when at 16 years
old they married 51 year old Doug Hutchison. At the time,
Courtney received endless online hate and negative media
coverage. Courtney, a child, received death
threats, was stalked by the paparazzi, sexualized, and
labeled a whore. Courtney is now 27 years old, has gotten into
therapy, and started their recovery journey. This is a story
of child abuse that began 10 years ago and after
finalizing their divorce in 2020, Courtney is now beginning
to process what it means to be a survivor. This episode
discusses adult subject matter, including descriptions of sexual
abuse of a child, and is intended for adult consumption only.
