She posed from all angles as she showed off her cleavage in a series of selfies. To caption her post, Stodden reflected on how she’s criticized herself for too long and is just now feeling more empowered than ever before.

Courtney Stodden Is Redefining Her Life

Courtney Stodden urged her fans to 'save' their own lives.
“Too skinny? Too curvy? Too much? Cool, I’ll be all of it. I’ve spent years battling my body — now we’re besties,” she continued. “No makeup. No apologies. Just vibes.”
“If that bothers you, hydrate and scroll. To anyone who’s ever felt ‘not enough’: you’re already a d--- masterpiece. Now go save a life — yours,” she urged.
The model previously shared another stunning selfie on social media earlier this May, where she credited herself for being strong enough to dissolve her lip fillers, which she’s had injected since she was 17 years old.
Courtney Stodden Says Ex Doug Hutchison Was 'Emotionally Abusive'

Courtney Stodden recently revealed she dissolved her lip fillers.
“For the first time, I’m beginning to learn that I am enough,” she captioned her Instagram post. “This isn’t about rejecting beauty — it’s about redefining it on my own terms. I’ve learned that real confidence isn’t in what we add, but in what we choose to embrace.”
As Stodden takes her life back by investing in her health and happiness, she revealed in a new interview from Thursday, May 29, that she was destroyed by her marriage to actor Doug Hutchison when she was 16 years old.
“It stays with me, the pain; I won’t stay quiet,” she said to the news outlet before calling Hutchison “emotionally abusive.”

Courtney Stodden said she is 'living life on my own terms now.'
“My voice is my power, and for every voice silenced, I’ll shout louder,” the star added. “And I won’t ask for permission to do what’s right. Not anymore. I speak for that little girl within.”

“I will never let anyone silence her again,” Stodden continued. “I wake up for her. I fight for her. And every day, I choose to stand in my power. To every woman reading this: you are not alone. You are not broken. You are becoming.”
