Hutchison's film work began in the late 1980s, appearing as Sproles in the 1988 drama Fresh Horses and Obie Jameson in the 1988 film adaptation of The Chocolate War .

[3] [14] According to Hutchison, his agent quit, his family disowned him, he received death threats, and he was labeled a "pedophile", as a result of the marriage. [15] [16] Hutchison had some defenders: Stodden's mother, Krista Keller, who praised him for the kindness and love with which he treated Stodden, and Dr. Jenn Berman, a therapist who worked with the couple during their appearance on Couples Therapy . [13]
In October 2012, the couple appeared as one of the celebrity couples in the second season of the VH1 reality television series Couples Therapy, which depicts celebrity couples undergoing counseling for relationship problems. [15] According to Stodden, the couple enrolled in therapy in order to resolve issues that arose in their marriage from their age difference. [14] On November 1, 2013, the media reported that Stodden and Hutchison were ending their marriage of two and a half years and filing for divorce. [17] In August 2014, the pair announced that they had reconciled. [18]

In 2021, Stodden publicly stated that her marriage was a result of Hutchison's grooming, which allegedly started with him reaching out via email. [4] [5] Hutchison stated in a 2011 interview that Stodden contacted him via email first under her mother's supervision, as confirmed by Courtney herself back then. [6]
