Alexander apologizes for 2012 risqué sketch with Stodden
Jason Alexander apologized for a 2012 Funny or Die sketch in which he, then 52, interviewed Courtney Stodden (then 17) and conducted a suggestive chest scan; Stodden has said she was a minor and could not consent. Alexander said the comedy was inappropriate and expressed regret for any harm caused. Stodden welcomed the apology but stressed accountability and highlighted her AB-1267 campaign to ban minors from marriage licenses, tying the moment to ongoing child-protection advocacy.
