Jason Alexander, best known for his role as George Costanza on 'Seinfeld,' has publicly apologized to model and actress Courtney Stodden after she criticized a 2012 comedy sketch they made together. Stodden, who was 17 at the time, called the sketch 'inappropriate' in a social media post.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter) on July 22, 2026, Alexander wrote: 'I am deeply sorry for my participation in that sketch. It was inappropriate and I should have known better. I apologize to Courtney for any distress it caused.' Stodden, now 31, responded by thanking Alexander for his apology and acknowledging the power dynamics at play.
The sketch, which aired on a comedy website in 2012, featured Alexander and Stodden in a mock seduction scene. Stodden had been married to actor Doug Hutchison, who was 51 at the time, which had drawn significant media attention. Alexander's apology comes amid a broader cultural reckoning with past behavior involving minors in entertainment.
