And while most reality show plotlines are exaggerated for maximum effect, this one, according to Stodden, was unfortunately very real. On the show, Stodden accused her mother of trying to steal her husband, which she denied.
Stodden sat and watched the two grown-ups at the center of her life fight, her eyes wet with tears. Stodden says that her father, Alex Stodden, was in and out of her life, emotionally distant, and is now unwilling to have a relationship with her because of her marriage. Just, you know, a man screaming. Stodden says she and her father are no longer in touch. But other guys do, right? Other daddies do.
Drawing a direct line between her feelings about her father and her romantic relationship with a significantly older man might look too neat, but it also seems like the truth. You can google me and figure it out. Stodden says her childhood became unpleasant as soon as she started to go through puberty.
She was raised in a small coastal town in Washington called Ocean Shores, with a population of just over 5, people. When she developed breasts she says she used to wear extra-thick push-up bras to create the illusion of implants when she was still a teenager and started wearing frosted makeup, she noticed that she started getting more and more attention, and says she felt the town turn on her.
Predictably, a lot of the attention Stodden received was from older men, and it still makes her uneasy. People older than her, eaten by the celebrity machine in kinder ways, have come out with less of an understanding of what happened to them and why they made the choices they did.
In the six-and-a-half-minute interview, Stodden gazes at her new husband in what appears to be her best attempt at seduction , which ends up looking like her face is spasming.
Stodden buries her face in her couch cushions and screams when I bring it up. It just happened. It was so crazy. She also says, on some subconscious level, she was just trying to channel Marilyn. As legend has it, a junior high school student named Norma Jeane Mortenson once wore her red cardigan backward , and it transformed her into the beautiful and buxom Marilyn who became a worldwide celebrity. She says she plans on rerecording the song for her upcoming album.
Already dealing with tumult in her family life, humiliated at school because of how she looked she dropped out and finished high school through an online Christian academy , Stodden saw Hutchison as a way out of her miserable life. She also notes that he was just one of a few significantly older adult men pursuing her when she was a teenager.
Adult men who worked with her half-sisters were interested too, and she points out that they all knew how young she was. Throughout our day together, Stodden plays old episodes of I Love Lucy on repeat in the background, on mute. He was everything. She still looks years older than she actually is although she seems younger in person than she does on television or in photos.
Her laugh is still pitchy but bashful. Her makeup cracks when she smiles, which is often. News that they "never pictured myself getting married again," adding, "But I knew in that moment that it was right and that he truly loves me. He's stayed by my side through some of the hardest times in my life.

I'm one hundred percent showing up as an adult and making my own choices. But the wedding — that'll take some time and a lot of help to coordinate.
