Last month, we learned that Courtney Stodden is pregnant when the 21-year-old social media star reluctantly confirmed the news to Us Weekly. Since then, Stodden has revealed that she’s struggling with depression and has been open about the various joys and difficulties (Hooray for morning sickness!) with her many social media followers. Most have been supportive, but you know what they say about online commenters: a lot of them are douche bags! Okay, we may have just made that expression up, but the fact remains that Courtney is on the receiving end of some seriously harsh criticism these days. This is the picture that’s been stirring up controversy since yesterday. As you may have guessed, the issue is not with the Court’s ginormous diamond ring, but with the out-of-focus pill bottles in the background. She captioned the pic, “Diamonds are a girls best friend,” and yes, it was probably a bad idea to quote Marilyn Monroe (who died of a barbiturate overdose) on the icon’s birthday with bottles of pills in the background, but that hardly justifies some of the hateful comments on Courtney’s Instagram page. The concern trolls came out in force to criticize Courtney for “putting her baby at risk” by taking drugs. Fortunately, several fans came to her defense, including moms who attested that they were numerous medications during their own pregnancies. Basically there are two possibilities with this photo: One is that Courtney gave no thought to the pill bottles in the background and just wanted to show off her bling while paying tribute to one of her heroes. The other is that this is some sort of desperate but subtle cry for help. Either way, the answer is not to attack a depressed 21-year-old pregnant woman on social media.
