Courtney Stodden Still Has The Best Mom

This is just like that time that Courtney Stodden‘s mom, Krista, said that Dina Lohan is a great mom, only better. And by “better,” I mean that this time, Courtney’s mom is talking about how she persuaded a 51-year old man to marry her 16-year-old daughter.

On the beginning of Doug and Courtney’s courtship: “I could really tell my daughter had the kind of love when you want to marry a man or be with a man. Even though she was just 16, I knew it was going to take a pretty big man to handle her because of her sexuality and because of the attention she gets.”

On Doug’s pure love: “See, with Courtney, with the way she looks: how is she ever going to know if someone loves her for how she looks or for her heart? I wanted her to be with somebody—and she wanted to be with somebody—that loved her for her heart. So this was perfect for her! To have a long-distance relationship to where they could just communicate through words, there was no sexual anything, we knew he loved her for her heart.”

On how Courtney didn’t need her teen years: “These people that say, ‘You could have waited,’ I really don’t understand this way of thinking. Why do parents think that kids need to have those teen years spent going out with different boys, going out in different cars, going out on the beach together alone? There’s a lot of bad stuff that happens in those teen years. They end up being killed in car crashes due to driving with people that have been drinking. Oh, but they’re gonna have their teen years. My daughter is safe. I know where my daughter is.”

And now she compares Courtney to Anna Nicole Smith: “The gay community has been so loving to her. I know that Anna Nicole Smith had a great rapport with the gay community, and I think they’ve been waiting to have someone they can connect with, and I think Courtney is that person. She is different and stands out. Frankly, we thought she’d fit in better in Hollywood.”

Well, at least now we know where Courtney gets that whole maladjusted thing, right? This lady doesn’t understand why her 16-year-old daughter should have waited a few years before getting hitched, AND she pretty much calls her the next Anna Nicole Smith. Um, doesn’t she know how that whole thing ended?

Does this change your view on Courtney at all, now that you know more about her origins?

  • “On Doug’s pure love:” <– this section describes what usually would be called stalking predatory behavior, no?

    "On the beginning of Doug and Courtney’s courtship:" <– she does sound mentally ill. I'd probably just take my daughter to a psychiatrist rather than marry someone old enough to be her granddad.

    "On how Courtney didn’t need her teen years:" <– aaaaand mom had a bad childhood so she's going to 'ensure' her daughter doesn't have the same bad experiences. This would be called learning the wrong lesson.

    OK. Just watched the interview (partial as of yet, full on the 7th) with Dr. Drew Pinsky.

    Wow. I'm not as old as the guy, but … man. What kind of a personality do you have to have to deal seriously with a child on an even emotional level? *sigh*

    And she seems like she's high, so I'll go with what others said about the interview.

  • Wow! I was waiting for someone to agree with my Courtney/Anna Nicole post awhile back….but, I sure didn’t expect it to come from her mother!!! Move over, Dina, there’s a new sheriff in town!

  • “We knew he loved her for her heart”‘ Yeah, if “heart” means “great body and willingness to do ANYTHING (ANYTHING) to be famous”.
