Courtney Stodden

Courtney Alexis Stodden is an American media personality, model, singer, and songwriter. After competing in beauty pageants in their home state of Washington and releasing their own original music, then 16-year-old Stodden came to international attention when they married then 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison in 2011. Stodden has appeared in the reality television shows Couples Therapy (2012), Celebrity Big Brother (2013), Reality Ex-Wives (2015), The Mother/Daughter Experiment (2016), Celebs Go Dating (2017), and Courtney (2020). Stodden and Hutchison divorced in 2020.

They came out about their gender in April 2021 via posts on Twitter and Instagram: "They/them/theirs. I don't Identify as she or her. I've never felt like I ever fit in anywhere. I was bullied horribly in school because I was different. The other girls never understood me. It got so bad that my mom pulled me out of school. And still, i don't fit in. I never really connected with anyone my age. My spirit is fluid with a kaleidoscope of color."

Stodden credits Elliot Page and Sam Smith for inspiring them to come out.
