Courtney Stodden wore a stringy black bikini for a PETA photo shoot in Hollywood this week.
The 31-year-old media personality was doused in a black substance resembling tar for the non-profit organization’s latest campaign.
Her surgically-enhanced chest was put on display in the low-cut top, which she wore with matching bottoms and perspex heels.
Just two days later, Stodden’s fans got to see the final result of the production as the campaign launched on social media.
Stodden appeared fully nude, against a white backdrop, with her body dripping in the onyx slime.
‘Leather is a dirty business,’ was printed above and around her head, with a finally message urging, ‘Wear vegan.’

There was a row of black leather jackets lined up behind the model, also covered in tar.
In an Instagram caption, PETA wrote, ‘@courtneyastodden airs leather’s dirty laundry and reminds shoppers that every leather bag starts as someone’s skin. Drop the baggage and choose vegan leather instead.’
Another post read, ‘The REAL cost of leather is on display in our new campaign as @courtneyastodden reminds shoppers that carrying animal skin is never a good look.
Ditch leather and stick to vegan leather options instead!’
An accompanying video featured a voiceover from Stodden as she listed the harmful ingredients associated with leather products.
‘Coal, formaldehyde, chromium, blood, feces, arsenic, fossil fuels, lime, sludge,’ she rattled off while the camera panned different parts of her body in a video.
She also linked leather to child labor, cancer, chemical pollution, deforestation, and methane.
Stodden’s lips were covered in red lipstick, which the camera highlighted to emphasize her message.

She shared a behind-the-scenes image from the shoot on her personal account and wrote in the caption: ‘Your jacket shouldn’t cost a life #crueltyfree @peta.’
The public figure rose to fame when she married ex-husband Hutchinson in 2011 when she was just 16-years-old. Her parents legally signed off on the wedding.
Now she’s on a mission to stop underage people from going through the same ordeal.
‘I don’t want this to happen to anyone else, and it scares me,’ the activist told People last year as she pointed out that underage marriage with parental permission is legal throughout more than half of the country.
She added, ‘We’re the hotbed for the dirty little secret, which are pedophiles marrying our children legally in the United States, so that’s why I’m speaking out.’
Stodden’s divorce from Hutchinson was finalized in 2020 and she married Jared Safier in 2024.
She had to reflect on tying the knot as a teen as she worked on a Lifetime biopic about her life, I Was a Child Bride: The Courtney Stodden Story, which she produced alongside her husband.
‘I’m glad I did it, but boy, it’s been hard to watch it,’ the star shared with People. ‘It’s something I’ve lived through, and it’s the PG version, it’s the TV version. A lot of scenes were cut because it was too much for TV.’
She noted, ‘It’s the craziest story I’ve ever heard, and it’s my own.’
