To me, that misses the point entirely,\u201d she wrote via Instagram. \u201cThis isn\u2019t entertainment. It isn\u2019t a debate. It isn\u2019t a ratings opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stodden continued, \u201cI was a teenager when I appeared on his show. I was a minor in a situation I couldn\u2019t legally leave, and the money from that appearance went straight to my abuser. What I\u2019m seeing in these comments gives me hope because people understand that this isn\u2019t about rehashing trauma for content. It\u2019s about accountability, and it\u2019s about protecting children from exploitation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stodden also expressed her appreciation for those who have supported her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you to everyone speaking up for me, supporting me, and recognizing how wrong this is. I see you, and l appreciate you more than you know,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p><em>Us Weekly<\/em> has reached out to Dr. Drew\u2019s spokesperson for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, Stodden made headlines when she accused Dr. Drew of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/courtney-stodden-slams-dr-drew-for-breast-ultrasound-at-16\/\">exploiting her<\/a> when she was underage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Drew had me on his show when I was 16 and had me undergo an ultrasound to see if my breasts were real or if I was lying about my breasts,\u201d Stodden alleged in a post shared via Instagram on Saturday. \u201cI wasn\u2019t an underage girl. I was a minor trapped in a situation that I wasn\u2019t able to get out of legally. I had no rights at the time. The money he paid me to be on the show went straight to my abuser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Stodden was 16 years old, she married actor <strong>Doug Hutchison<\/strong>, who was 51 at the time. (Stodden later filed for divorce from Hutchison in 2018 and the pair finalized their split in 2020.)<\/p>\n<p>During their marriage, Stodden appeared on a 2011 episode of Dr. Drew\u2019s talk show. The TV personality instructed Stodden to lie on stage in front of a studio audience as he performed a breast ultrasound to check for implants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese photos bring up a lot of sadness for me because I see a little girl being exploited by grown men and used for views and mockery,\u201d she wrote alongside images of the appearance. \u201cDr. Drew, what made you think this was a good idea? As a doctor, did you think this was actually healthy for a little girl to experience? Did you even care?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Waqqas Jalil<\/strong>, a board-trained plastic surgeon and founder of Aspect Plastic Surgery, told <em>Us<\/em> that conducting \u201ca breast examination or imagining on a minor \u2014 particularly in a public, televised setting \u2014 raises serious ethical red flags.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIn a legitimate medical context, procedures like ultrasound require informed consent, privacy and a clear clinical justification,\u201d Dr. Jalil told <em>Us<\/em>. \u201cUsing a medical tool on a young person in front of cameras, without those protections in place, isn\u2019t medicine \u2014 it\u2019s spectacle.
