Courtney Stodden, the model and former Celebrity Big Brother star, has shared a distressing video showing themselves covered in blood after a head injury. The 31-year-old non-binary star said they hit their head on a counter while bending down to pick up a dropped phone, resulting in a split that required emergency treatment.
In the video, filmed from a car en route to hospital, Stodden tearfully warned: "Don't bend and snap. I bended and snapped and tried to pick up the phone that I dropped and I busted my head open in public." The footage showed blood on their head and chest, with a fire truck passing by. They later revealed in the caption: "Nothing glamorous about moving too fast just to grab something that doesn't matter. Slow down. Your body keeps the score."
Stodden confirmed in comments that they received a CT scan, which showed no brain bleed, but they were advised to have further scans. "Got a CT scan, no brain bleed I'm okay just a hard hit… reminder to slow down. Life will literally make you if you don't," they wrote.
The star first rose to fame at age 16 when they married actor Doug Hutchison, then 51, with their mother's consent. They appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2013 at age 18. The couple divorced in 2020 after nine years of marriage, with Stodden later stating they felt "taken advantage of" and "groomed." Hutchison has said he has no regrets about the marriage.
