Stodden, now 31, was the target of tabloid scrutiny and public shaming at the time due to her age-gap marriage to The Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison, who married her when she was 16 and he was 50. The couple divorced in 2020.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Stodden shared a screenshot from the sketch with Alexander, now 66, that showed him holding a cellphone next to the bikini-clad teen's breast.
'I was 17 years old in this photo. The older I get, the more impossible this is to understand,' wrote Stodden, before detailing the bit's hyper-sexualized storyline.
In another excerpt from her post, Stodden stressed that she was 'a minor' at the time of filming and that she felt 'so alone' in a room full of adults.
'How did so many adults look at a minor and decide this was acceptable?'
