Total diva alert!
Courtney Stodden became a complete nightmare to work with on her reality show after she opened up and let her raw emotions run wild, several of her co-stars exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
On her self-titled show, Courtney, the buxom former Teen Bride, showcases her life with her boyfriend, her mom and her friends. She revealed that she was diagnosed as being bi-polar and showed her true self while filming, putting herself in a vulnerable place that was captured on camera.
Now, according to several friends on the show and even her own mom, Courtney was almost impossible to work with and has refused to do anything to promote the show or speak to most of the cast members since the premiere.
The reality show, created and produced by Rocco Leo Gaglioti for FNL Network, was an honest look at Courtney’s life, including her admission of being bi-polar.
"It’s really sad that Courtney is so embarrassed and ashamed that she absolutely refuses to promote her own show," he told RadarOnline.com. "It just blows my mind and all of the executives at FNL Network. It is absolutely disgusting that she is threatening to blacklist other cast members that dare to promote the show."
Courtney's mother spoke about filming together.
“My daughter and I did this show and opened up our lives completely on camera! It got very rough and hurtful at times, but we never quit loving each other,” her mother Krista Keller told RadarOnline.com. During filming Courtney viciously lashed out at her mother, fighting with her multiple times while cameras were rolling.
Since the premiere of the show in Sept. 2019, insiders told RadarOnline.com that Courtney refused to promote the show because she was unhappy with the raw emotions she showed on camera. She tried to warn other cast members about promoting the show themselves.
According to one cast member, “Courtney threatened to blacklist me in the industry if I promoted the show.”

OLD Friend
Sham Ibrahim, who said they had been friends for almost a decade, shared their feelings about Courtney. “I feel like a second mother to her and as any mother would be I am always worried and concerned about the choices she makes. On the show viewers are watching her in real time. She was going through a divorce and picking up the shattered pieces of a broken life.
Painful Truth
“As her close friend I just wanted to be there to give her support, but I had no idea that things would get as explosive and toxic as they did,” Sham Ibrahim told RadarOnline.com. “When I saw the drama unfolding I know that Courtney would regret making herself so vulnerable. I worried what the consequences would be of her mental state. I am not sure she is in a place right now where she can handle the scrutiny. I have reached out to her many times after the show premiered on FNL Network and she has been descent. I want to be there for her as a friend and I just hope she knows that people love her more for being an open book and reveling her flaws because no one is perfect.”
Sad Tale
“Not everyone can handle the reflection they see when looking in the mirror,” a cast member involved in the show told RadarOnline.com about Courtney’s raw filming experiences. “Courtney probably didn’t like what she saw in herself when watching the show. This time she couldn’t just tell herself it’s just a façade or a character, it was just her. Sometimes the facade is more attractive than the structure.”
Broken Home
Courtney’s 2011 marriage to 51-year-old Doug Hutchison when she was just 16 didn’t last, and she filed for divorce in 2018.
Scary Times
“I was kind of scared being around Courtney,” another cast member told RadarOnline.com about filming with the reality star as she fought with her mother.
Trouble
Her new boyfriend, Chris Sheng, appeared on the show with her and another cast member revealed her outrageous behavior while filming. “I mean, after she randomly lashed out at her mother for such a dumb reason who knows who she would lash out at next. She's seemed to have brainwashed her ‘close friends’ and she always seems to pick on her Boyfriend, Chris, A LOT! I felt so bad for her boyfriend Chris. She treats him like a little puppy.”
Fighting Words
Even show producer Rocco had words for Courtney. "It’s really sad that Courtney is so embarrassed and ashamed that she absolutely refuses to promote her own show. It just blows my mind and all of the executives at FNL Network. It is absolutely disgusting that she is threatening to blacklist other cast members that dare to promote the show."
