Following his social media post about the incident and public outcry, Alexander apologized to the actress and internet personality.Now, according to a new post shared by Stodden, the actor has donated thousands of dollars to Unchained at Last, a non-profit organization that works to end child marriage in the US. He shared by writing, “I want to sincerely thank him for choosing to turn his words into action. The answer is not about punishing people – it is about taking reasonable steps that will help create change. My hope has always been bigger than my story. If a difficult conversation can lead to real support for organizations that protect children and end child marriage, then something good can come from something so painful.”Continuing to explain how this should be the standard, Stodden added, “When the damage is great, meaningful action has the power to help others. He then asked others to be encouraged by what this expert did and to donate money to help end child marriage in this country.”

In 2012, when Stodden was 17 years old, she and her husband, Hutchison, were invited to a ski show called the ‘Donny Clay Show with Courtney Stodden.’ During the installation, Alexander played a daytime TV doctor talking to her and her husband at the time. In one scene, the artist smeared the phone on his chest and said that there was “a lot” of signal from there; However, after doing the same to the woman’s head, he said that he could not receive any signal from there. Sharing a photo from the skit, Stodden called the artist, along with all the adults who were part of the show and let it happen.Her note said, “I was young. I did not have the legal authority to participate if I wanted to participate. The contracts were signed by the authorities”, adding that the money did not go to her, and instead was sent to her husband.For the uninitiated, Courtney Stodden married David Hutchison when she was only 16, at the age of 51, after her parents approved the union. They lived together until 2017, when they legally separated, and finalized their divorce in 2020. Since then, Stodden has been a strong advocate for ending child marriages across the country and has been a public supporter of various organizations working in the same way.
