Reality television personality Courtney Stodden has broken her silence following an incident that led to a 911 call at her Los Angeles-area home earlier this month. Stodden told the Daily Mail that she is "okay" and "taking things one day at a time," describing the event as a "difficult moment."

Stodden, who gained public attention for her marriage to actor Doug Hutchison when she was 16, has spoken about the lasting effects of childhood trauma. She is actively campaigning for the passage of AB 1267 in California, a bill that aims to set the minimum age for marriage and domestic partnerships to 18 with no exceptions. This legislative effort stems from her personal experiences and her commitment to protecting minors from exploitation and coercive marriages.

"The effects of childhood trauma can echo through adulthood," Stodden stated, emphasizing her advocacy. She has spent time in Sacramento meeting with legislators and partnering with organizations such as Unchained At Last and the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls.

Stodden and her current husband, Jared Safier, have reportedly been attending therapy together to work through differences, and she indicated their relationship is on stronger footing. The couple wed in December 2024.

Law enforcement sources had previously told TMZ that officers responded to a "heated argument" at Stodden and Safier's home in early July. According to the report, officers spoke with both individuals, and no arrests were made. Following the incident, Stodden shared cryptic posts on her Instagram stories, including one that read, "Your husband should be your safe place, not somebody else you have to fight." Another shared post discussed "reactive abuse."

Stodden has previously spoken about past trauma, including what she has described as emotional abuse during her marriage to Hutchison. She has stated that she is now "living life on my own terms" and aims to empower other survivors.

Separately, Stodden recently addressed a past controversy involving actor Jason Alexander. She called out Alexander for a sexualized sketch they filmed for Funny or Die in 2012, when Stodden was 17 and Alexander was 52. Stodden expressed her discomfort with the segment, particularly given her minor status at the time. Alexander subsequently issued an apology for the "inappropriate" sketch.
