Courtney Stodden, who separated from Doug Hutchinson about two years ago, has confirmed their divorce is complete on Instagram, while accusing her ex-husband of taking advantage of her when she was younger.

Stodden, who married the Green Mile actor in 2011 when she was 16 years old, stated in the caption of a photo of Hutchison kissing her cheek that she felt she was “absolutely taken advantage of” during their time together.

“It’s March 3rd, 2020 – today I am officially divorced from actor Doug Hutchison. ​It’s an emotional day for me. ​God only knows how he’s feeling, but I can tell you that it’s for the better. ​I look back at this picture and feel absolutely taken advantage of,” she wrote.

“I’ve been scared to even speak up about feeling groomed or being verbally abused during the almost 10-year marriage because I was a child and he was 50 when we married but I’m a woman now and it’s time for me to put my big girl pants on and speak on this matter,” she added.

“I’ve felt completely trapped, manipulated and at times abandoned by adults // growing up in such an environment — it became a lonely and dark place,” she said, before informing followers that she is working on a book.

“And to Doug… I’ll always love you; yet I’ll always be angry. You’ve left me — a child woman, feeling belittled and confused. These things I shall overcome. I wish you well. But please don’t ever do this to another minor again. It’s not right… even if the parent signs off. Wait a respectable amount of time before marrying. Children aren’t on your level. I’ll always love you regardless. Be better. As shall I. (sic)”

In response, Hutchison’s representative said, “FYI, Courtney should probably get the length of her marriage correct, (six years not ten). I guess this is all coming as a retaliatory effort for Doug finally coming clean about Courtney faking a pregnancy and miscarriage for money and promotional benefit amongst other things that went on during their marriage.”

“If it helps, I would suggest you conduct an internet search where you will find, as recently as 6 months ago, Courtney speaks publicly and on many occasions, glowingly about her relationship with Doug, and in fact on more than one occasion, publicly stating that she still loved him and wanted to reconcile their marriage,” the rep continued.

That was Hutchison’s third marriage.

Keller has subsequently indicated that she regrets allowing her underage daughter to marry, telling RadarOnline in 2015 that she would not sign the documents for their wedding if she “had to do it all over again.”

The couple revealed they were expecting a child in 2016, but Courtney regrettably miscarried.
