A quiet but meaningful moment from Courtney Stodden is resonating with fans this week after she shared a striking bikini photo from Malibu Beach paired with a deeply personal message. The post, shared just days ago, quickly drew attention not only for its oceanfront setting but for the emotional honesty behind it. In the image, Stodden stands knee-deep in the crashing waves, wearing a black bikini as she stretches her arms wide toward the sky. With her face tilted upward and eyes closed, the shot captures a raw, almost freeing moment as the surf crashes around her.

Courtney Stodden’s Bikini Beach Pic Is Giving Total Freedom Vibes

She captioned the post simply but powerfully, writing, “I feel safe with myself lately.” The words struck a chord almost immediately.

Fans flooded the comments with messages of support, encouragement, and shared reflection. One follower wrote that it was something they were still learning to do, saying they needed to feel safe with themselves and learn self-love. Another called Stodden an “icon,” while others echoed their admiration with messages like “Awh I love that,” and “That’s awesome to hear. Keep it up, Queen.”

Stodden Reclaims Her Body In Candid New Year’s Eve Post

In another recent post, Stodden shared a mirror selfie that carried just as much meaning as it did confidence. Posing indoors in a white string bikini, Stodden flashed a peace sign while snapping the photo as she closed out the year on her own terms.

She captioned the image, “Final thirst trap of 2025 [peace out sign] #newyearseve,” before expanding further in the comments, directly addressing critics and past scrutiny. “For anyone committed to misunderstanding me: I SURVIVED having my body controlled… I won’t let anyone police it now,” she wrote, making it clear the post was about far more than appearances.

That sense of taking her power back also connects to conversations Stodden has previously shared about the long-lasting impact of public criticism.

Courtney Stodden Reflects On Years Of Body Shaming

In a previous post, Stodden reflected on years of being scrutinized over her physical appearance, calling out what she described as “powerful men” who felt entitled to comment on women’s bodies. Without mincing words, she referenced figures like Elon Musk, while also noting that Jason Biggs was the “only person” who ever reached out to apologize.

“Watching powerful men publicly critique a woman’s body this week reminded me of when it started happening to me… except I was still a minor,” Stodden wrote in the caption at the time, explaining how those early comments didn’t fade with time. Instead, she said they followed her into adulthood and influenced how she was spoken about for years to come, shaping her relationship with her body and the public eye.

"Out of everyone who participated in that culture, Jason Biggs is the only person who ever TRULY apologized. He did it sincerely, privately, and without ego, and I respect him deeply for that," she added.

Stodden Reflects On 12 Years Of Vegetarian Thanksgivings

In another resurfaced post that offered a much more reflective glimpse into her personal values, Stodden shared a powerful message about her long-standing commitment to a vegetarian lifestyle, and the moment that changed everything for her.

In the caption, Stodden revealed that the post marked her 12th vegetarian Thanksgiving, explaining that until the age of 16, turkey was the only meat she had ever eaten. That changed in 2011 after witnessing a turkey being prepared for the holiday meal, a moment she described as deeply unsettling and eye-opening. She wrote about realizing “this life was taken and put on the chopping block for a quick and selfish satisfaction,” adding that spending time with turkeys while they are alive feels far more fulfilling.

In another throwback post, Stodden is seen soaking up the sun poolside in Los Angeles. Seated along the edge of a brick-lined pool, Stodden pairs a strapless top with flowing pants and a wide-brimmed hat, creating a look that feels very vintage glamour. The post, which Stodden captioned “Fun in the sun” while tagging Paper Magazine, also credited the creative team behind the images, including the photographer and interviewer involved.

With each post, Courtney Stodden is reclaiming her narrative, moving toward a life shaped by peace and self-trust.
