Courtney Stodden Reveals Suicide Consideration Due to Celebrity Cyberbullying

Courtney Stodden revealed in the ABC News documentary 'IMPACT x Nightline: Confessions of a Child Bride' that she nearly took her own life due to severe cyberbullying, particularly from celebrities like Chrissy Teigen. Stodden, who was just 16 when she married 51-year-old Doug Hutchison, recounted how derogatory comments from Teigen, including wishing for her death, contributed to her mental health struggles. Despite Teigen's public apology in 2021 for her past remarks, Stodden noted that she never received a private apology and questioned the sincerity of Teigen's contrition. The documentary highlights the long-term effects of online harassment and emphasizes the need for accountability in social media interactions. Other celebrities, such as Jason Biggs, have also apologized for their past comments directed at Stodden. The documentary is set to premiere on Hulu and aims to raise awareness about the dangers of cyberbullying.
