Courtney Stodden marked the Easter holiday with a sun-soaked celebration, sharing a series of photos from a day spent outdoors in Calabasas, California. The images featured Stodden confidently posing in a vibrant pink bikini, showcasing a sun-kissed glow and a makeup-free look.
In the social media post, which included playful bathroom selfies taken after time in the sun, Stodden humorously captioned the gallery with a nod to the holiday, writing, “This bikini has been resurrected,” and using hashtags like “easterbod” and “nomakeupselfie.” The photos highlighted a light tan and simple accessories, including a delicate necklace and sunglasses.
The casual beach day post followed a period of significant public reflection for Stodden, who recently participated in a documentary detailing her experience as a teenager in a highly publicized marriage. The special shed light on the personal challenges she faced during that time.
This context made a negative comment left on Stodden’s festive post particularly jarring. A social media user directed blame at Stodden for her past relationship, prompting a forceful and emotional video response.
In the clip, Stodden passionately challenged the commenter’s perspective. “How is the joke on the 16-year-old? How?” she asked. “Why are you blaming the child?” She firmly placed responsibility on the adult involved, calling out what she described as a culture of protecting predators and victim-blaming. “This pedophile protector nonsense has got to stop,” Stodden stated. “It is so disgusting blaming the child when the adult is responsible.”
The response from her online community was overwhelmingly supportive, with many followers praising her courage and advocacy. Comments expressed pride in her strength, thanked her for raising awareness for survivors of grooming, and commended her for speaking out.
The Easter weekend thus encapsulated two facets of Stodden’s current public presence: a personal celebration of self-confidence and a continued, vocal stance as an advocate speaking against the exploitation of young people.
