When I was a teenager my best friend began developing at a really young age and I just remember that all throughout our adolescence it was always this thing people had to point out and say disgusting inappropriate things over. To this day it truly angers me. We were washing her car and this man in his 40s or 50s was walking by with 2 young boys and said "that's how they should be made" and I can't think of that without feeling So enraged. We looked at one another and my friend went off and said that wasn't right and that now these young boys would have it in their minds to view women this way and we were so upset we drove around trying to find this guy to tell him how wrong and messed up it was. I'm ranting now but yeah, we need people to understand the impact of this. And Chrissy Teigen saying it was her fantasy to see someone take a "dirt nap" is next level fucked up!

When my daughter was a freshman (14) in high school a senior (18) asked her to prom. I was not having it for one second. At the time she totally thought I was overreacting and so did other people like mom's in my circle. My daughter is now 25 (her birthday was yesterday actually) and we had a talk about that not too long ago and she thanked me for protecting her and always protecting her. She said she was so young and naive and there is no telling what a large group of older guys and girls may have tried to peer pressured her into doing bc they did that to a friend of hers that was allowed to go. We have to be there to protect our kids, 10 years ago and today, our daughters and our sons.

My friend in high school was 13 when a 33 year old married man started grooming her. He drove the church van and the Sunday school teacher let them hang out at her house They got married when she was 18 and later divorced. We were no longer friends then but our moms were. My mom told me she would come over with her mom while I was at work. She told my mom she didn’t begin to understand what had been done to her until recently. She was in therapy. She was about 25 at that time

[@katefriend4085]

This story reminds me of when I was in middle school, there was a girl in my 8th grade class who got pregnant by her mother's boyfriend. We all whispered about her for being pregnant at the time, and then my mom read about the father going to prison for statutory r@pe in the newspaper, and um... It only just occurred to me that 'duh, this poor child was groomed.' Like I knew it was bad, I knew the man who made her pregnant was a bad guy, but like, the "oh she was groomed" realization only just hit me. I remember the baby was born our freshman year of high school. She named the child after its father. In other news, this video was a _trip!_ Poor Courtney. 2011 _was_ a different time, it was okay to be disgusting to women and girls in a way that no one will openly now... but that doesn't justify any of the stuff that people did to Courtney or any of the other well-known women who were abused publicly back then.

I remember the rumors that Courtney was “really in her mid twenties” at the time. Claiming that couple were lying about Courtney’s about age for clout. Even at the time it felt like people were believing this rumor as a way to excuse this crap. Or even as a way to excuse their own attraction to her. Especially considering that the birth certificate and marriage certificates were public knowledge for both of them. One bright spot is that Courtney has already started using their past experiences and strength as a person to help others. Starting with the girl that Doug had begun grooming last year. Sending good thoughts to all the survivors that are stronger than they ever imagined. So proud of you all!

Misogyny was A LOT more rampant on the internet back then. That’s what people mean by “it was a different time”.

That is part of the grooming. It is not a sign of agency of the victim. It is true that helplesness after trying to point it out is a thing. But then giving up is still failing the victim. I am not saying that to invalidate the effort. But if the child stays in the hands of a monster, while they spout nonsense said monster imprinted them with, it is a failure. If it was a 12 or 14 year old it would be more obvious. But a 16 year old is also bad enough. Especially because it did not start at 16 but earlier. I hope I am making sense.

I remember when this happened and I wasn't even living in an english speaking country and this still made it in the news. No one was ok with this, trust me. But Courtney herself, her husband, her parents kept insisting they are in love and they married so they could be together. And Courtney was heavily criticised by the media due to her over-sexualised look and what appeared to be fame chasing behaviour (which we can now attribute to the mother). Courtney was making music clips where she was heavily sexualised before her marriage to Doug. While married to Doug she even went on the british Big Brother. It's sad because you now realise she never truly had a childhood. She was pretty much pimped by her own mother.

[@ShanaLeigh]

This whole situation is awful and makes me so angry. I’m ashamed of all of the adults involved in any part of this.

[@katecusson]

I love your sit down videos! It feels like hanging out and chatting with a friend 🥺

[@amandaviolino4055]

The mother is a narcissist and she is living for this drama and it’s sickening. Doug should be on a watch list

[@tabithadearth7507]

I felt horrible for Courtney and I feel like their parents should be absolutely ashamed of themselves because they signed over Courtney to the creep.

[@pamelapacific943]

It's your calling to expose these behaviors. Some or most of these young "mothers" she victims themselves. Sexualized at a very young age. This seems normal. They haven't known anything better. This is how this crap gets passed down over generations. And the only answer is education.

[@MrsAshDepp]

The law works against children’s safety, agreed it needs to change 💯

[@l3656]

This video was very well made, the best one I've seen about this situation, so good job. Please do more like this! Maybe you can talk about the Drake Bell situation?

[@Michelle-dl5go]

I remember when this happened, I was a senior in high school. I kept thinking who would let their daughter marry this guy. It was disgusting then and now. I do feel bad for all the criticism she received back then, It was A LOT! Most people thought she wasn't 16 bc she looked much older, but regardless she was a child and no one thought to help this girl

[@samanthabeaudoin5191]

And your humble opinion is 1000% right. In 2011 people knew these things were wrong, it was just a LOT easier to hide it.

[@adderae]

this hits too close to home. when i was only 11 my mother would use my facebook to communicate with young men my age pretending to be me, forcing me into relationships and many uncomfortable situations until i was about 13-14 and she and my father divorced and she found a boyfriend of her own. she would try super hard to appeal to these men and it almost gave me the vibe she wanted them in a way. it got so bad to where one of my boyfriends mothers even insinuated that, and at the time i thought it was insane. but now i see why my mother reacted as strongly as she did to that accusation. because it was probably true. she’s long gone now, and i miss her in ways but this video kind of just made me remember the horrors she brought into my young life and mind. even making me insecure she was gonna sleep w my boyfriends bc she called me a prude at 12 for getting grossed out at my bf making a sexual joke towards me.

[@annaanosbest5779]

Never heard about this until now. I definitely would love more of these in the future.

[@alinika5]

Love these new video ideas you’re coming up with! Feels like you’re picking up the pace in a new and exciting direction, here for it 💪👍👍

[@bloodandempire]

Soo fucking disgusting. I’m glad Courtney finally gets a chance to start healing ❤️‍🩹😭

[@amycaitlyn1120]

I remember quite vividly the media storm surrounding Courtney and Doug when they got married and all the ensued. I saw bits and pieces of them on Couples Therapy as well. I think it is good to have someone who really didn't know anything about the whole situation, look back on it, and see how utterly fucked up it was, and how horribly Courtney was treated by the media!! AND their parents, AND their ex-husband!!! I am happy they have been able to remove themselves from much of that and seems to be moving into a better space. The stuff with Chrissy Teigan though??? Ugh - utterly disgusting and unforgivable IMO. Because she couldn't even muster an apology without trying to make excuses for herself. I can't with her anymore.

[@shylohbeasse5099]

The more public all these grooming cases pop up the more grateful I am. It disgusts me that at 16 I entered into a relationship with a 27 year old man/co-worker and my parents approved it... I was then stalked whenever I tried break it off with him and had to carry a weapon with me whenever I left the house after bc of how terrified I was of this guy. Grooming is so disgusting and thankfully I got out but it breaks my heart that my parents were encouraging of it...

[@agnesrobakiewicz5639]

Considering that what happened to her happened precisely because she was young and female, it's no wonder she decided to run from womanhood like a house on fire. Absolutely tragic

[@cleosworld9096]

I literally just talked to my 16 year old yesterday about this story. I was chrissy age when this happened and would have never said that. Disgusting

[@missiecombs4807]

I have so many opinions here. My mom allowed me to "date" at 14, he was 21!! At first we told her he was 18. That was okay. Then she finds out that he's 21 & we're having sex. She simply takes me & has me put on birth control. My mother never tried to stop any of it. As a mom now, of 19f, 11m, & 8f, I cannot fathom!! I just cannot understand why my mother allowed this. This grown man got me drunk & sexually assaulted me at 14. My mother said "that I just didn't understand men." As a 38 year old mother & wife I honestly have no idea how I have become a mentally healthy adult. It took some trial & error in my early adult life BUT my oldest, I had at 19, NEVER paid the price for those. She always came first. Her health & wellbeing always came first!! The parents are to blame in Courtney's situation!! Her mother who nursed the relationship & her father who stood by idoly. It is absolutely disgusting how far this went!! The tv shows, the fucking breast ultrasound?!?!?! HOW?? HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN????

[@harperbelle645]

no way i’m just finding out u also live in ar 😫 also, i am 16 right now. my dad is 50. absolutely disgusting to think about someone my age marrying someone my dads age. not okay at all.

[@kendalbrenneman]

From 21-26 I was in a relationship and even engaged to someone 19 years older than me. I didn’t think a lot of it until much later, when he was still dating younger women. There’s still so much I don’t understand about that time, and about him, really. I won’t say that relationships with a large age gap can’t work, but I think the younger person ought to at least be old enough and have enough experience with relationships to be able to see the relationship clearly. At 16 - no. How is marriage even legal at 16?!? As for their relationship… why would he even want to marry her that young? At least my ex, after already having been married, wanted to wait until I was at least 25. I was the one who wanted to get married! What is wrong with this Doug guy that he couldn’t even just date her for a few years? Or better yet, say “I like you, but I can’t date you. Let’s see where we are at in 2-3 years.” Ugg.

[@morganwarren8305]

My uncle modeled with Courtney and was kind of their stand in body guard. He moved to LA to live with them right when Courtney and Doug decided to get married and I remember my whole family talking about it and everyone being like “what the fuck” before it was even out to the public. I was super young tho so I was like who tf are these people LOL My uncles in one of their music videos tho, crazy to see how successful they’ve become! Very happy for Courtney.

[@catherinemorrison1909]

I know i'm late to the comments, but thank you for this video. Groomers come in all shapes, sizes, genders, race and professions. Courtney's story should not be forgotten, it should be learned from, those people who spouted hate to Courtney need to come forward, apologise to them and do everything in their power to prevent this happening again. Chrissy Teigan has a platform, she could use it to spred awareness of issues like this.

[@SaraDemler]

I'm glad you're making this video! I remember when this first came out back then and remember thinking how weird and disgusting the whole thing was. I love all you had to say and hope this video blows up. I'm glad Courtney is realizing how messed up the whole thing was.

[@melodyalexis7637]

This is so disturbing and sad. I'm glad Courtney is on their healing journey, but, the fact that this even happened is so alarming. What Chrissy did was ATROCIOUS. I just hope that's not the only thing people focus on because there is ALOT to unpack here. I agree, "it was 2011" is not an excuse. My personal opinion as to why people (specifically those who were adults during that time)are using it is BECAUSE they knew better, but, turned a blind eye to it. Or worse, laughed along. They were part of the majority, which didn't speak out against things of this nature in or prior to 2011. Now things are starting to shift, and, the majority is sheading light on how truly disgusting this is/was. I just hope it it makes the intended inpact on society. I know someone mentioned it, but, there are laws that need to be changed in most states. I really hope we make our way towards inacting that change because NO CHILD should go through this. Also, I had no idea about the show Courtney was on with their mom, but, those clips ALONE clarified a quite a bit. This is so sad, and, ALL of the adults involved should be reprimanded for this bs because WTF Sending Courtney all the positive vibes. I hope after all of this is said and done they find peace 💖🙏🏽

[@heathergarnham9555]

Aged of consent in Australia is 16 for girls, however that's to consent with other people their age.

[@firefoxchibi]

I had already watched a couple of other commentary vids on this topic but I really loved your take Kyla, I think you should do more of this style of video 😍

[@MmeRougarou]

The way he’s holding her arm at 11:48 makes him look like her handler not her husband

[@learntotakeajoke3100]

I loved and hated him in Green Mile but years after I heard about this underage girl it switched to hate and disgust !

[@CyndeeK]

Omgosh Kyla. This is the most productive videoI I have watched, to expose and bring great light to abuse of young girls by pedifiles. Well done!!!! Please continue to expose the perversion and abuse, not only daily happening to girls, But boys alike. This is only one of thousands, if not millions, who are exploited sexually daily with no one to stand up and rescue. Those that shame the abused, are nothing short of heartless aninals. Please continue to bring to light, more exposure. hopefully to educate those unaware, of such cruel mental, physical, and sexual abuse of minors. Proud of you! ❤ I enjoyed this immensely!

[@cancerfish66]

Wow.........people are DISGUSTING!! I totally agree with everything you've said. How can anyone do any of those things and have even ONE person be ok with it??? I had never heard of any of this until this video. I must live under a rock....

[@MistySpring]

This makes me sick at my stomach. I cannot believe the world sat by and watched as they were publicly groomed and convinced to marry a predator. How fucking disgusting. Her mother is just as guilty. She KNEW what she was doing.

[@jeanetteedwards6603]

I loooooved this video, I like how thorough you are, you did a lot of digging to share a whole complete story, it was captivating and informative and respectful to Courtney and I completely agree with everything you said

[@GuerillaWelder]

My sister got married to her 18 y/o bf when she was 16. She's 42 now, has 9 children and is still happily married to him. I had to join either job corps or the military to emancipate myself from our mother when I was 16. This law allows the option of escape for people in abusive environments. And often allows the entry into more abusive ones.

[@MsAmo626]

I’m so shook by this. I really want to hug they. I hope they is ok and getting all the help they need.

[@BirteK1975]

One person can never be they. They is plural. And if one is not sure whether he/she is male or female, it should mot be they, that person should be considered "it". It is only ONE person.

[@ssshhhur2loud37]

When I was 14 my mom let my 18 year old boyfriend move in. Not just move in but we shared a room.Ugh I have always had resentment about it. I felt as if I. Was stuck with him for so much longer than I would have if he wasn't living in our house. Don't get me wrong at the time (in the beginning) I loved it but after sometime I absolutely hated everything about it. Even when I talked about breaking up with him she told him he could still stay! 🤬 That was the most toxic relationship I have ever had and I had nowhere and no one to turn to.

[@shelbiyoung8572]

I wanted to comment as someone who went through something similar to Courtney. I was 15 dating a 20 year old and my mom loved it. But she also preyed on 17 year old boys. She’d use me to get them to the house.

[@bogdansedan5504]

What the hell broooo....so sorry you had to experience that

[@sharonharris7245]

😳 OMG, that's exactly the same as Courtney! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@monicacurtis3986]

As someone who was a C-cup at 12 and a D-cup at 14, I grew up with SO MANY people making comments about my breasts. Whenever I voiced discomfort, I was often told to "take it as a compliment." Now, at 35, I finally feel empowered to say "my wearing a v-neck is not a free pass for you to gawk."

[@rosiecheeks710]

I like the way that you explain the story. You give lots of context as to who/what. I also really enjoy listening to your voice

[@jenniferorlandoludwig7145]

The only reason Chrissy Tiegen apologized to them is because all her tweets were brought up and Chrissy had brand deals with Macy's and Target for her cookware and cheap looking plates/dinnerware and both companies dropped her so she thought if she apologized she wouldn't lose her millions of dollars. I have NO respect for her husband John Legand bc he defended Chrissys behavior.

[@crescentdiviner7293]

omfg this situation is DISGUSTING I hated this so much. Thank you so much for bringing light to this. It is so heartbreaking.

[@kristenbrannock5655]

Re. Marriage age- it's also disgusting that even though girls can be married off before 18, most states' age of consent to divorce is 18. So, girls can be stuck in these marriages for years.

[@healinggrounds19]

I live in Florida. Girls can be married here at 14 with parents permission. Disgusting.

[@HaleyMary]

I remember hearing about Stodden in the news years ago when she married that 50 something year old. I thought it was really weird considering she was a minor. I can't believe her mother allowed it. And, those CNN anchors talking about her breasts, shows the perversion in our society. I find that really messed up about that law in Arkansas. That the girl can get married at 16, but the boy has to wait until he's 17? That's sexist. Why isn't the age the same for both men and women? Maybe everyone should have to wait until both parties are at least 21 or even 25 if you want to wait until their frontal cortex is fully developed.

[@allifairm]

Sexism? In todays world? No way! That’s not real! 🙄 clearly I’m being sarcastic. It’s still a man’s world people.

[@jenerin905]

@@allifairm Definitely.! I think it has more to do with older men being the majority of the lawmakers than society is okay with it. Most people have no idea what the laws are in their state and they don't see the people who are being victimized by them. Our laws aren't going to change until we get these people out of office.

[@westzed23]

You brought this story to light. And it needs to be told. A man and a mother groomed this 16 year old girl. I think they only did it to get on TV and videos and social sites. Selling her daughter to the highest bidder (figuratively). Courtney needs to get to a place of safety where they can heal. And anyone shamming a 16 year old child should also apologize publicly on all the platforms these statements were made!

[@maffieduran]

Back in the day there were several videos on youtube of Courtney dancing (pre marriage) when they were 15. They already had breast implants, scantly dressed and moving provocatively... and they were a child. Their mother was really waiting for some rich old pervert to buy her child and did not care who saw and even obviously trained them to play the part. It feels like a nightmare

[@ravenm4826]

Kyeluh, its been years since I’ve watched one of your videos. Not because I didnt want to, just because I made a new account and havent come across your channel until now. Just want to say I used to love your series about your parent’s home ❤️ Your story about the glowing figure you saw swaying on your neighbour’s lawn with your young friend is a story that has stuck with me for a long time. Glad to see you are doing well and congratulations on your engagement and pregnancy! ❤️❤️❤️
