Courtney Stodden marked the Easter holiday by sharing a series of candid, makeup-free photos on social media. The images, posted on Sunday, featured the public figure enjoying the California sunshine while wearing a vibrant pink bikini.
In the photo set, Stodden appeared relaxed and sun-kissed, showcasing a light tan. The caption accompanying the photos included a playful nod to the holiday, reading, “This bikini has been resurrected.”
The post garnered significant positive feedback from followers. Many comments referenced a recent documentary in which Stodden detailed past personal trauma, with fans noting she appeared “healthier” and “happier” now.
However, the positive response was interrupted by a negative comment from an online troll, who targeted Stodden with a degrading message related to her past. Stodden responded forcefully in a follow-up video, directly challenging the commenter’s perspective.
“How is the joke on the 16-year-old? How?” Stodden stated in the video. “Why are you blaming the child?… This pedophile protector nonsense has got to stop. It is so disgusting blaming the child when the adult is responsible.”
This rebuttal resonated with many supporters in the comments section. Followers praised Stodden for speaking out, with messages of support thanking her for “standing up for girls like us who were groomed” and for raising awareness.
