It hasn’t been easy for Courtney Stodden to write their upcoming memoir.

Stodden, 27, recently spoke to Fox News Digital about rehashing their controversial marriage and other life events while writing their currently untitled book.

Stodden, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, was 16 years old when they married Doug Hutchison in 2011. He was 51 years old at the time. In 2018, Stodden filed for divorce. The divorce was finalized two years later.

“A lot of different chapters in my life have been challenging to live through once and then to kind of go back and relive it again in order to tell the story is extra challenging, but it also gives me a better insight,” Stodden told Fox News Digital.
