Courtney Stodden Accuses Dr. Drew of Exploiting Her in Live TV Ultrasound at 16

Q: How many other minors were medically examined on Dr. Drew’s shows, and where are they now?

There is no verified public evidence in the material provided that other minors were medically examined on Dr. Drew’s shows, and there is no reliable reporting here on where any such minors might be now. What is documented is Courtney Stodden’s allegation about a 2011 episode of *Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers*, when she says she was 16 and underwent an on-air breast ultrasound to prove whether her breasts were real. The reporting and supplemental material focus exclusively on Stodden’s case, the backlash to the resurfaced footage, and the broader issues of child exploitation and child marriage. Because neither the news story nor the additional sourced content identifies any other underage guests who received comparable medical exams on Dr. Drew programs, it would be speculative to name a number or describe their current circumstances. At this point, Stodden appears to be the only minor specifically documented in the provided reporting as having undergone such an examination on one of his shows. If more episodes, production records, or former guests come forward, that answer could change. For now, the factual record in the material you supplied supports only one publicly detailed case: Courtney Stodden, who is now 31 and active as an advocate against child marriage and exploitation.

Stodden, now 31, said in a June 27 Instagram post that Dr. Drew Pinsky had her undergo a breast ultrasound on live television at age 16 to test whether her breasts were real.
Screenshots from a 2011 episode of Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers showed the then-minor lying onstage before a studio audience while Pinsky performed the exam; Stodden said the segment used her for “views and mockery.”
She said she was a minor with no legal way out of her situation and that money from the appearance went to her “abuser” — then-51-year-old husband Doug Hutchison, whom she later divorced.
Pinsky had not publicly responded by publication. Stodden has increasingly framed her teen marriage as grooming and has become an advocate against child marriage, which remains legal for minors in 33 states.
