Do you remember Courtney Stodden? She wants you to. The 19 year-old hasn’t been getting much attention as of late after she got ginormous implants, left her 54 year-old husband of three years, and then continued pulling the same half-dressed duck-faced stunts. Now Courtney has returned to her husband, Doug Hutchison (who happens to be the same age as her dad). Courtney announced on Twitter that she’s engaged to Doug again, about nine months after they separated. Of course Courtney’s momager, Krista Keller, confirmed the news to Fox, making me think that she’s pulling the strings yet again.
The controversial couple is back together again and plan to renew their vows by the end of the year, Courtney — and her mom — confirmed to FOX411.
“Courtney realized just how much love she really had for Doug,” Stodden’s momager Krista Keller told FOX411. “They really love each other and wanted to be together.”
Stodden told FOX411 last November that the reason for her legal separation from Hutchison was because of their age difference, and the 19-year-old’s wish to just “be 19.”
“Doug and I decided to separate and end our marriage because of the obvious,” Stodden told FOX411. “Our age gap of 34 years.
“Right now I’m just looking to have fun and to grow into who I am as a woman and be single and independent and build my own foundation,” she said then. “I’m just my taking the time to be me and be single and be 19 and to try and be as much as a normal 19 year old as I possibly can.”
But Keller says her daughter has had time to “experience other men” during their break and she now “want[s] to be with her original choice, her husband.”
Stodden was 16 when she married “Lost” actor then 51-year-old Hutchison meaning Keller had to sign off on her daughter’s marriage certificate.
“When I signed that [marriage certificate], I think moms sometimes know their daughters and I’m very very happy for them that she’s made this choice again for herself,” said Keller.
“Courtney realized just how much love she really had for Doug” means that Courtney’s mom realized how little the press paid attention to her daughter when she was single, so Courtney’s mom convinced her to get back with Doug. From what little I saw of Doug on Couple’s Therapy, he seemed like a needy creature (he’s Tooms, I can call him that) who would do whatever it took to keep Courtney around. I think that Krista arranged this whole romance from the start so that she could make her daughter famous and that it worked somewhat. I just hope that Courtney comes to her senses at some point, but maybe it’s too late for her now.

“Thirsty Attention Ho’s, party of two, your table by the window is ready”.
I want good things for this girl. She brings out my maternal instincts. Her criminally pathologic mother could probably tell us a thing or two as to why her teenage daughter was an overtly sexualized caricature of a 16 year old when the mother signed off on her certificate to marry.
Loathesome parents.
Even before the marriage her mom was the one (by the mom’s own admission) pushing courtney to oversexualize herself for a modeling/music career.
I can’t blame courtney. She was manipulated by the person who should protect us. And it’s been a long time rumor Courtney is drugged heavily for a dozen disorders. Many perscriptions were thought to be in her mothers name as well.
Shame on Krista, Shame on Doug.
^^This^^ Surely this counts as child abuse?!?
Exactly! Her mother has groomed her like a pimp grooms his stable of women. She is clearly very screwed up, and her parents have shown repeatedly that they are the main culprits! She is just barely a legal adult!
Yes to Springing, Wallamalooo and Mai.
FLORC, +1 but I haven’t heard the rumors of a long list of disorders. I’ve always assumed she has histrionic personality disorder coupled with drug abuse. Can you provide links? I’m interested in this girl, she has all my sympathy and I’ll eat up any information others have to offer.
I think her father deserves a lot more attention than he receives. She was on a red carpet one time and he smacked her behind. They seemed unnaturally “close”. I’d go so far as to guess that her mom has been a victim of his abuse as well. And I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if she’s had as many off the grid issues and has been tormented throughout her life. At least it would explain why she’s so willing to compromise her daughter’s soul.
Eurgh.
x100! The only thing I got from this was that I didn’t realise he used to be on “Lost”.
This poor child. I really do feel for her, I feel like all the adults in her life have taken advantage of her someway or another. Stuntin’ is all she knows now.
I feel the same way for her, pitty.
The people who should be there for her are using her. Her Mother is a disgrace
She depresses me. I feel bad for her and wouldn’t want to be her mother when/if Courtney finally breaks free and realizes the direction her life has taken. She was only 16 when this started.
Her mother deserves every bit of wrath that should rightfully come her way. She is truly disgusting for what she did to her daughter.
When the marriage started. She was 15 when Doug found her online. She was even younger when her mother signed her up for modeling that was way too mature. Even younger when her mother signed off on implants. I doubt Courtney knows how to function outside of her mother’s control.
For the life of me, I will never understand the pale bubblegum pink lipstick. Does it work on any human being ever?
19, my ass. The pink lipstick thing is what they tell 50 year old women to wear to look younger. Nothing she wears (clothes, makeup or hair) resembles anything other 19 year olds wear. She looks like what a 50 year old trying to look 19 looks like. I know there is proof she’s 19, but geez, I just don’t see it.
her mother is probably telling her exactly what to wear.
I was about to say, I doubt she is the one picking out these styles. The revealing part is pretty “19” but everything else screams of her mother’s sense of what a “hot young blond bombshell” would look like.
And its only going to get worse as she gets older, because she’s going to need more surgery and even more makeup.
I came to say the exact same thing! In that first pic she looks 45 at least!
I know I want to scrub her face! That makeup is awful, it reflects the atrocities of her life.
not to mention…. thats the only visible indicator that it’s her… where’s courtney and is this her families representative? her face…… so……. different……….
WHY??? Just stop!!!
I can’t snark on this girl. I also watched Couples Therapy and her mother is a total mess. Her father is a creep. There were some suggestions that she may have been the victim of sexual abuse. And let’s not even get started on a 50-something adult who would marry a 16 year old.
She had zero stability or support in her life and this is what happened.
I agree. She is a victim. I was so hoping she could straighten her life out now, but part of me was saying all along that she never really had a chance. The adults in her life have betrayed her, abused her, sold her and used her, and this is the result. I feel so sorry for her.
So glad people are seeing this for what it is and not attacking/mocking her.
This isn’t a girl that came from a stable home with loving parents. This is a girl used and abused by her parents and then essentially sold into marriage with a 50+year old man she had never met before. And she always looks doped up.
Before they seperated thre were too many stories of neighbors calling the cops from their fights. Doug drunk and screaming/throwing things. And the sound of Courtney sobbing hysterically.
Poor girl. This is wrong.
Florc, did she really never even met that creep?
I feel really bad for her. It is hard to watch someone be victimized like this.
These two together is probably the grossest thing I have ever seen. I’m embarrassed for him, the disgusting old lecher, and sorry for her, who’s probably going to die on the operating table during plastic surgery one of these days. Or maybe he’ll eat her liver (thanks, CB, for reminding me of that).
gross and grosser.
The girl is still only 19, she will surely come to her senses,i hope at some point. This is so sick i never thought there could possibly be a worse momager than Pimp Kris.
She was clearly abused out of her mind; she really doesn’t have any senses to come to. Is she purse modelling in that one pic?
The label might ask her to stop carrying their purses anytime soon because they don’t want to be associated with her.
Do labels really have the authority to stop anyone using their products?
I think juicy, A&F, or Ed Hardy asked some z lister to stop wearing the brand….
Loopy, they don’t have any authority, of course, but it’s been known to happen for them to ask.
I remember this happened with Burberry a few years ago in UK where all the ‘chavs’ where wearing knock offs.
I believe Ed Hardy asked Jon plus Eight to stop sporting their merchandise.
The Situation of Jersey Shore “fame” was asked by Abercrombie & Fitch not to wear their stuff, I believe. They even offered him money.
Brands have been known to send z listers bags from other companies so that they stop carrying theirs. Pretty genius.
“Courtney realized just how much love she really had for Doug”
Translation: once he was gone, the freak show element that brought her so much attention disappeared, so an agreement was made by all parties to “reconcile” and thus try and wring out the last little bit of press from being a Z list celebrity. Stay tuned for appearances on reality shows hosted by Doctor Drew or anything on TLC.
Yeah. I feel sad for her but once she separated from him no one was following her at all.
I guessing he’s the only one that wants her.
I had that same thought. She’s not a functional adult but she doesn’t really fit in with her age group. It’s not a good situation.
I came here to say the same thing. I bet she couldn’t get a single halfway decent guy. If the plastic and the old ex husband wouldn’t turn a dude off, the mother would.
I do feel bad for her though, I can’t believe CPS never stepped in. Someone in her life should have called them! (Idk if they could have done anything based on public reporting without a formal complaint).
Her chest looks so painful it’s making me uncomfortable. I don’t know how she can stand it. I think the best thing for her would be to get away from her parents and Doug and live in a different city for a while and do her own thing
I would like to think that despite who this girl-woman hybrid is surrounded by, she will somehow find her way.
Gawd, what a pair. (Stop sniggering at the back!)
Only ‘know’ her from Michael K, as the ‘Porn Iguana’, but she seems to represent the worst that can be distilled from the culture of ‘the right to fame’. Her mother has THE most repulsive attitude, that poor young woman probably never experienced the life of a 12 yr old, never mind 19. Hope she breaks away again, she does seem to have a broad streak of simple sweetness, in spite of all.
that picture is depressing, she looks like an old perv’s captive, with him guiding her by the shoulder/neck. sigh. i hope that at some point in the future she’s able to get away from the awful people in her life.
I agree. She has aged a lot in a short amount of time. She looks about 35! There ops a sadness to her that is palpable.
The whole thing creeps me out, but one of the grossest things coming out of her mother’s mouth is “But Keller says her daughter has had time to “experience other men” during their break”. First off that information is unnecessary, and second why does she even need to know that about her daughter?!
i know, good lord. i can’t imagine my mom saying $hit like that about me. this poor girl.
Boy, it must suck when you have all this surgery and inflate your chest to ridiculous proportions and still no one is interested you whatsoever. Doing the ho stroll when no one’s wanting to watch must be so frustrating for a young *cough* girl. Of course she’s going back with him, it’ll get her some headlines here and there. What else has she got going on? Not much. She thought she was going to be the next bombshell ala Pam Anderson and it just didn’t materialize. Watch for the inevitable meltdown in the not so distant future.
Watched “The Green Mile” recently and every time I see his performance I can’t help but think how perfectly he was cast. A low down creep portraying a low down creep. Truly art imitating life.
Can’t they do something with Doug to make him a little less disgusting? There’s got to be a PR person of sorts with whom they are working. Anybody can be cleaned up and made to look presentable. Is there an end game here? Maybe the more disgusting he looks, the more we pay attention to them?
There’s a room waiting for Krista in the Dina Lohan wing of Hell.
Lucifer’s Homegirl will no doubt be joining them.
the trifecta.
She looks older than my 46 y/o mother!
Uh she’s 19. Why would anyone care at this point? She’s still a child and this is still tragic, but anything shy of marrying Hugh Hefner at this point isn’t news worthy.
I would love for Courtney to do the following as a publicity stunt:
Wear a baggy t-shirt, a pair of nice jeans, and cute flats. Go without makeup for one whole day wearing said ensemble and see what kind of attention she gets. I would stand up and applaud her for taking such a “risk.”
I see alot of comments re her implants, but I can’t stop looking at her receding hair line. Look at it! Her extensions are pulling her bald!
Oh god yeah he was Tooms in the x-files! So gross. On some reddit question thing Gillian Anderson was asked what she thought about DH (this was when he first got with CS) and she basically said he was super creepy on set and invited her up to his room for her birthday (shudders). Gillian said she’s so happy that she refused the offer hahaha.
oh Lordt.
How are they “engaged” when they have been married this whole time?
I realize they made up for good or at least bizarre/scandalous gossip (especially in the beginning) but this is just sad. I also think you’re right, Celebitchy – it is probably the mom from Hell who suggested they should get back together. I have a daughter and the thought of pimping her out as a sixteen year old teenager to a man more than 30 years her senior makes me sick to my stomack. Just when you thought that poor girl had escaped…
Did they ever get a proper divorce???
He scrawled Dourtney on the wall when they were on Couples Therapy. A 50 something year old man. He is off the creep meter!
I shared this information with my husband, and his response was, “WHO?” I explained that she was 19 and he was 54 and his response was, “Guess which one of them is the multimillionaire?” I further explained that he is still referred to as “The Lost Actor,” which tells us that he has no other big jobs to speak of, and he didn’t even have a HUGE role there. My poor husband just shook his head and called them attention whores. I showed him a picture of them, and his first response was to ask where her Father was.
I think I’d rather read about Beyonce and Jay-Z as opposed to these idiots, and I am not a fan of Bey and J.
She has never been able to look anything but awkward.
it is very sad that a stint on celebrity big brother was someone’s only chance to be around (more) normal people. i was hoping it would be her escape route.
Going against the grain here, guys – I still think she’s with Doug because she likes him. He may be her rock, a lot more so than her uber-creepy parents, and likely more so than the sea of sharks in Hollywood. I don’t know how ‘rill’ their marriage is, but I don’t think she’s a shrinking violet or puppet. Maybe they’re friends-only, maybe he’s somewhat her manager? Who knows.
I’m going to go way out on a limb here and bet that she’d be a good – perhaps excellent – actress, if she’d lose the clown makeup and hair, remove the mega-implants, and start with some small parts in quality films/indie films/TV shows.
Here’s a perfect example – I’d have liked to see her in the part of the coed/mistress in “Gone Girl.”
She’s a very pretty girl underneath all that, and can be well-spoken, ie she speaks very intelligently about animal welfare. I don’t understand her intentions or goals, but if I’m right about her wanting a career in acting, I hope she’ll reverse this track she’s on ASAP. She got the initial reaction/recognition by marrying Doug. Now it’s past time to work on building a career. And yep, I do think she can do it, if she takes prompt action to undo this cartoon nonsense. I think she may just surprise us all.
I like your comment. I would like to see her do well in life based on who she really is. I, too, am willing to bet she’s far more intelligent than the role she plays for the cameras.
However, I do fear she’s being controlled like Anna Nicole Smith was at the end. Repeat; at the end.
I suspect this goes well beyond the publicity. I think scummy, awful men had their way with her and she went back to the only safety she knew. Doug, for all his repudiating, disgusting, controlling behavior seemed to care about her safety. Many men on his level will do anything, *anything* at all, without remorse. Yeah, I think she’s suffered more than we could imagine.
I’m pleased others feel as material as me. It’s painful to see others attack when they know little to nothing about mental illness and true victimhood.
I sure hope this poor girl has at least one real person in her life. She needs someone who loves her unconditionally. No child deserves the parents she has. Good Lord, I feel sorry for her.
Not sure how apt a comparison this is, but Bo Derek was 16 when she met and moved in with John Derek, who was 30 years her senior.
This child (and yes I said child) is clearly controlled and programmed.
