Jason Alexander Donates $15,000 to Fight Child Marriage After Courtney Stodden Calls Him Out

Jason Alexander is putting his money where his mouth is. After being called out by Courtney Stodden earlier this week for groping her in a 2012 Funny or Die sketch when she was just 14, the Seinfeld star has made a surprising move — he donated a significant sum to an anti-child marriage organization.

According to sources, Alexander donated $15,000 to Unchained At Last, the only nonprofit in the U.S. dedicated to ending forced child marriage, a cause Courtney actively supports. A rep for the actor confirmed the donation but declined to comment further.

Courtney, who married 51-year-old Doug Hutchinson at age 16 in 2011, had previously urged Alexander to take action beyond apologies. She called on him to support anti-child marriage laws and organizations, as she has been doing. Alexander had already apologized for “any harm or distress” caused by the sketch, and now he has backed it up with a donation.

The model and actress has been vocal about the devastating effects of child marriage, and her story has sparked widespread debate. With this donation, Alexander joins her fight, showing that words can be followed by deeds.
