By now, most of you have heard of Courtney Stodden or, as she is more widely known, the ‘Teen Bride’. For those of you who haven’t, here’s the whole disgusting story. Doug Hutchison (“The Green Mile, Lost), 51, married Courtney Stodden, 16, a few months back after Courtney’s mother signed a consent form allowing it to happen. First, I don’t believe for a second that this woman is sixteen. She looks to be at least in her late twenties. I credit that to the layers of makeup she has on her face. When you see pictures of her without all that makeup who looks far younger. Anywho, so naturally, the press ate this story up for the first week or two. Now Doug and Courtney are sort of fading into the background so what better way to get those cameras snapping away again that to slip Courtney into the skimpiest outfit possible for a little ‘holiday shopping’. Where did they choose to do their shopping? Why at known paparazzi hang out, The Grove, of course. As if that’s not enough, Mom decided to tag along as her daughter shopped at Victoria’s Secret. This whole situation is just so insane to me. Then again, who am I to judge. Maybe Doug and Courtney are really and truly in love. I doubt it but I suppose it’s possible. After all, no one thought Demi and Ashton would last and… okay, bad example.
 
I find their relationship disturbing. Makes me wanna lean back from the screen. She’s 16 now, so does that mean they started dating when she was under 16?
She doesn’t look her age, but a lot of teenagers look older than their age. However, when you really look at their faces, you can see they’re still babies.
I’m not on the inside so maybe it really is true love and all. But from the outside looking in, it looks wrong on many levels.
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were and are adults when they started dating and got married. That’s the difference. Courtney is barely an adult, there are places she’s not even old enough to do certain things.
For her mum to give it the thumbs-up, wow, that’s all I can say.
She couldn’t even have a glass of champagne at her wedding. I really try not to be judgmental but it’s pretty hard to be objective sometimes. When I was sixteen, I routinely dated older guys and my mother did what she could to stop me but you really only have so much control over such things. She spent a lot of time worrying about me and trying to talk sense into me. She certainly never would’ve signed any consent forms. The whole thing gives me the creeps but in the end, it’s really none of my business, I suppose.
Wanda, I was thinking that too, that I don’t wanna come off as holier-than-thou. I mean, it’s their life and all, not mine, and none of what they do affects me directly. But, like you said, it’s kinda creepy. It’s not illegal what he’s doing I guess, but intuitively it feels off and quite uncomfortable. Plus her mum, I can’t get my head around that.
I know that she is legal now but what was her mother thinking? It is gross. I will say that these are some of the classiest photos I have ever seen of her though. Usually she is wearing a trampy outfit and looks like hell.
