Stodden stated that Alexander, then 52, repeatedly rubbed his phone on her breasts and made a joke about “having his way” with her once she turned 18. She reflected that as a minor, she lacked the legal power to consent, with adults signing contracts and her then-husband, Doug Hutchison, receiving the paycheck. Stodden, now 31, expressed that she no longer views the skit as comedy but as her body being exploited for an “adult joke.” Alexander, 66, issued an apology via TMZ, acknowledging the sketch was inappropriate and expressing deep regret and sorrow for any distress caused to Stodden.
