What is Courtney Stodden's net worth? After planning to donate $1M from sex tape, they were in financial mess
American media personality, model, singer, and songwriter Courtney Stodden has accepted Chrissy Teigen’s apology, even though they claim that they “never heard from her or her camp in private. Stodden had claimed that Teigen had privately messaged to tell them to kill themself. The 26-year-old alleged Teigen sent the nasty DMs after she publicly insulted the model on Twitter back in 2011.
Taking to Instagram, Stodden shared a screengrab of Teigen’s Twitter account where she had blocked them. Stodden wrote, “I accept her apology and forgive her. But the truth remains the same, I have never heard from her or her camp in private. In fact, she blocked me on Twitter. All of me wants to believe this is a sincere apology, but it feels like a public attempt to save her partnerships with Target and other brands who are realizing her ‘wokeness’ is a broken record.”

In an interview with the Daily Beast, they said that Teigen “wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die.’ And not only her, but Joy Behar had a field day with calling me a ‘slut.’ Courtney Love told me I was a ‘whore.’ People came out of the woodwork to beat up on a kid because she was in a situation that she shouldn’t have been in. There were a lot of celebrities acting like playground bullies. Some of the worst treatment I got was from women, and we’re not going to get anywhere if we keep holding each other back.”
Teigen has since apologized for her behavior with Stodden saying, “Not a lot of people are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past bullshit in front of the entire world. I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention-seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel. I have worked so hard to give you guys joy and be beloved and the feeling of letting you down is nearly unbearable, truly. These were not my only mistakes and surely won’t be my last as hard as I try but god I will try!”
Teigen added, “I have tried to connect with Courtney privately but since I publicly fueled all this, I want to also publicly apologize. I’m so sorry, Courtney. I hope you can heal now knowing how deeply sorry I am. And I am so sorry I let you guys down. I will forever work on being better than I was 10 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago.”

What is Courtney Stodden’s net worth?
The American media personality, model, singer, and songwriter came to international attention at the age of 16 when they married then 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison in 2011. After nearly six years of marriage, the two parted ways in September 2017. Stodden, who was 22 at the time, said in an interview: “We have not signed divorce papers yet. We are legally separated... I’m also trying to take things slow because I love him and it’s really hard on him... it’s extremely sensitive.”
Stodden said that they wanted to separate in order to focus on themselves and their career. They also said that suffering a miscarriage in July of 2017 “deeply affected” them and contributed to the decision to separate from Hutchison.
This was the second time that Stodden and Hutchison had separated. Previously, the couple separated in November 2013. At the time, the then-19-year-old wanted to experience single life. “As you know Courtney was married at a young age,” their rep said then. “Now, at 19, [they are] interested in exploring life as an unmarried single young adult – with the freedom to explore [their] independence.”
As per Celebrity Net Worth, Stodden has a net worth of $500,000. As per a 2018 Page Six report, Stodden requested that the judge deny Hutchison spousal support in their divorce. The report said that they were in a “financial red zone”. They had claimed that they only earned $2,500 per month, but their expenses were $4,700 (including $1,000 per month on clothes).
Stodden had also claimed they only had $2,700 in their checking accounts and that their household furniture, appliances, and other decorations amounted to $10,000. They said that their financial situation had “changed drastically” due to a lack of production deals.
In 2015, Stodden said they were planning to donate the $1 million they received for their sex tape to charity. Stodden had reportedly gotten the lucrative deal with Vivid Entertainment boss Steven Hirsch, giving the company exclusive rights to the footage. The sex tape was titled, 'Courtney Uncovered: The Courtney Stodden Sex Tape’. In 2013, Stodden had said, "Trust me, the second I turned 18, the entire porn industry turned upside down, Vivid, all of them. I turned down a $5 million porn offer about 3 months ago."
