1 State Down, 49 to Go! Courtney Stodden Calls Out Governor Newsom Over Child Marriage Ban!
The shocking truth behind child marriage in Hollywood! Did you know that there are still 50 states where child marriage is allowed? Well, California is taking a major step in the right direction. Governor Gavin Newsom has just signed a bill banning child marriage in the state, and Courtney Stodden, a survivor of child marriage herself, was on hand to celebrate. The 28-year-old actress, who was forced to marry 50-year-old actor Doug Hutchison when she was just 16, has been a vocal advocate against child exploitation. In a heartwarming moment, Stodden referred to Governor Newsom as "Daddy Newsom" after he signed the bill into law, calling it "a long overdue measure to protect young Californians and minors." But what's even more surprising is that Stodden's parents allowed her to marry Hutchison in the first place, and she's spoken out about the emotional impact of that relationship. The hashtag #CaliforniaIsOnlyTheBeginning is already trending on social media, with fans cheering on Stodden and Governor Newsom for taking a stand against child marriage.
