Seinfeld Actor Apologises to Courtney Stodden for 'Inappropriate' Sketch when She Was 17
Stodden said the 2012 sketch exposed a lack of adult oversight on set, and Alexander later said he was deeply sorry.
- On Monday, reality star Courtney Stodden confronted actor Jason Alexander over a 2012 comedy sketch, questioning how adults permitted a scene where he rubbed a mobile phone across her chest while she was 17 years old.
- Stodden noted she lacked the legal power to consent to the production, as Alexander claimed there was "no signal" in her head but "plenty of signal" in her chest during the sketch.
- Later in the sketch, Alexander joked he would "have his way" with her once she turned 18; at the time, Stodden was married to 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison, who signed the production contracts.
- In a statement, Alexander offered his sincerest apologies, saying "I completely agree that it was inappropriate and I truly regret it," acknowledging the harm caused to Stodden.
- Stodden is currently advocating for California to pass AB1267, a bill banning child marriage by establishing 18 as the legal minimum age, ensuring future protections for children against exploitation.
